The mountain road is winding and winding, but fortunately, the drivers have good driving skills, and they do not feel the bumps and discomfort.

After looking at the lush trees outside, there was not much afterglow in the sky, and asked, "How long is it until we arrive?"

This time they were invited by a Chinese family, surnamed Jiao, who is said to have moved here in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China in order to escape the military disaster. Over the past 100 years, they have multiplied and grown, and have been involved in various fields, and because of their former connections, they have had many trade contacts with China, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Jiao family is the richest man in this country.

The person who picked them up was called Jiao Cong, who spoke excellent Mandarin, he introduced himself as the housekeeper of the Jiao family, and his attitude towards them was very respectful, and the seven-hour drive from the capital airport to this mountain range they couldn't name was also arranged comfortably and properly.

But I still feel tired.

He just wanted to get to bed quickly and get a good night's sleep.

"It's still a ten minute drive. Jiao Cong replied with a smile.

With that, he took out a bottle of water from the car refrigerator and handed it to Shi Guo, "Sir, take a sip of water, and be patient for a while." ”

The attitude of the people is too good, they don't stretch out their hands to hit the smiling face, and they continue to complain after a bad time, so they can only sigh faintly, and take the water and drink it resignedly.

Chu Xiu honestly turned into Guanyin, hung it on Shi Youning's satchel, and pretended to be a qualified pendant.

This is what Shi Youning asked for when he got off the plane. What she meant was that Chu Xiu should not appear in front of people for the time being, in case of an accident on this mission, he could be taken by surprise and used as a killer weapon.

The riotous storage repair is very willing.

He originally wanted to turn into a pendant and fall comfortably on Shi Youning's chest, but was violently suppressed by Shi Guo and Shi Youning, so he could only retreat aggrievedly and hang on his bag. Fortunately, he can still take advantage of the strength generated by the swaying of people's walking, secretly and safely rubbing her small waist.

Shi Youning was too lazy to take care of him, she was quiet all the way.

Jiao Cong pinched the time very accurately, and after no more than ten minutes, the luxury extended version of the car stopped at the door of a house.

looked at it casually, and the original lazy and impatient look was instantly replaced by surprise.

The two distinguished guests waited for a while, and let Xiao Xiao communicate with each other. Jiao Cong bowed and bowed to the two, and then got out of the car and went to knock on the door.

The carved red lacquer door opened from the inside, and out came an old man with a servant's hat, he stroked his chest-length beard, and looked at the car while listening to Jiao Cong's words, and then he nodded respectfully and retreated back into the door.

Feeling dazed, he licked his upper jaw, thinking that he might be tired and hallucinating.

"What's wrong?" Shi Youning couldn't help but ask, sensing the change in his mood.

"Sister. ”

Shi Guo called her very solemnly, and said seriously: "I think we may have crossed!"

"Poof......" and Ning laughed, and he was really getting better and better at joking over time. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her lips and said, "Don't make a fuss." ”

I wanted to say that he really wasn't messing around.

After all, he's not that big fool who is Chu Xiu!

Jiao Cong opened the car door and greeted the two of them with a smile, "The car can't drive into the house, but the little one has already agreed with the porter that there will be a small sedan to send the two to the inner courtyard." ”

Shi put away his dazed look too early, he nodded lightly, and helped Shi Youning to get out of the car.

Only then did they really see the big mansion standing in front of them.

In front of the carved red lacquer gate are two tall and mighty stone lions, and on the eaves above the door are black plaques that read Jiaofu. The courtyard wall is very high, but it can't cover the courtyard inside one after another, the green tile and vermilion eaves, antique.

Shi Guo helped Shi Youning to step up the steps with an expressionless face, and sat into a cyan sedan chair with a blank face, always maintaining the master's calm and reserved temperament.

Well, he didn't find it strange at all.

Jiao Cong fell next to the sedan chair and spoke to Shi Youning with a smile: "The two distinguished guests came from afar, and they must be very tired. The head of the house means not to disturb the guests today, and I hope you can have a good rest. After the spirit recovers tomorrow, I will wash the dust for the two of them. ”

Shi Youning listened to his half-white words, and felt a little ridiculous, but she didn't show it on her face, and still maintained a light smile, "Trouble Steward Jiao." ”

After walking for about twenty minutes, the swaying sedan chair stopped.

After a while, he opened the curtain and jumped down, and stepped forward to help Shi Youning, he looked up at the plaque on the courtyard gate, which said Qingzhu Courtyard, Jiao Cong led them into the courtyard, and it was indeed full of bamboo.

A row of maids and a row of small maids, wearing clothes of the same color, saw Shi Youning and the two, squatting respectfully and obediently to salute, "The slave maid (slave) has seen Young Master Shi and Miss Shi." ”

Shi Guo twitched the corner of his mouth.

Who's Miss Who?

"For the time being, these maids and servants will serve the two distinguished guests, and if they need anything, they will be ordered directly. Jiao Cong said.

"Okay, thank you Steward Jiao. Shi Youning nodded.

Jiao Cong bowed and saluted, "The little one won't bother the two." ”

Before leaving, he didn't forget to instruct Shi Youning: "After nightfall, the rooms and the front and back yards will be locked, I hope the two of you don't run around." ”

Shi Guo stuck to Shi Youning's ear and muttered in a low voice: "I only felt that the people in our family were not lightly ill before, but I didn't expect to meet a family that is more nervous than us today." ”

"It's a complete trivial. ”

Although the Shi family maintained feudal bad habits, they were not so dogmatic and completely copied the status quo of ancient existence.

And it's nondescript, and you can't tell which dynasty it is moving at all.

"Miss, Childe, do you want to set the meal or bathe yourself first?" Seeing that they had not instructed for a long time, a little maid stepped forward to ask.

"Let's rest for a while, and we'll talk about the rest later. Just play by yourself and leave us alone. "A group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown girls and boys, who are embarrassed to support them somewhere.

Even if he plays cosplay, he doesn't have to play so seriously, he is the successor of socialism in the 21st century who grew up under the red flag, how can he enslave others.

Then the group of maids and servants all knelt down and begged for mercy.

The head knocked louder than the other.

Time passed: "......"

So I was hugged to take a bath, press a mo, and eat a very hearty meal, and when I lay on the bed, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this place was poisonous.

He got up and knocked on the door next door.

"Sister, I want to go out for a walk in the evening. The gods chattered a little, which made Shi Guo a little uneasy.

"Not necessarily. ”

Shi Youning motioned for Shi to set up a small enchantment to ensure that the conversation between the two was not heard.

"The information said that five people in the Jiao family had disappeared, and there were no people alive or dead, so we rushed here in a hurry, but they were not in a hurry at all. "I feel like there's a conspiracy waiting for us." ”
