Chapter 788: Mess

On the way back, Luo Ming also stopped by to buy some ingredients, but not long after arriving at the market, he inadvertently caught the subtle voices of people.

"...... 'Gray House' seems to have someone arguing......"

Luo Ming's lingua franca wasn't good enough, so he slowly picked up the word "gray house" after a few seconds.

Lisy inherited the old mansion from her teacher, and it was already a little dilapidated at the time, and after repairing the roof, it looked a little incongruous at first glance, so she simply asked someone to paint it with gray paint, so it was nicknamed "Gray House" locally.

Luo Ming reacted and hurriedly turned around, but it was too late, and he couldn't tell who said that just now.

If it was a simple quarrel, it might just be a grumpy guest—maybe just a visiting scholar debating loudly.

But what if there's a what-if?

Luo Ming had already deeply realized the impermanence of life when he first crossed over and encountered the magic lizard, who knows if there will be any accidents.

He put down the half-picked turnip in his hand, turned and ran.

Coming to a place not far from the mansion, Luo Ming stood still behind a house, breathing slowly and breathing to recover his strength and adjust his state, while showing his head to observe the direction of Lisi's house.

There was no one around the house, no noise could be heard, and no one could be seen from the window.

But there were far more footprints on the snow at the door than there were when he went out.

Although he had cleared the snow at the door a week ago, he had accumulated a little more, and he had planned to clean it again in the next two days when he had time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

He squinted his eyes and looked closely—the footprints were those who entered the door and those who went out. Whoever that group is, they are probably gone by now.

An ominous premonition came to his heart, and Luo Ming drew his sword and shield, and ran all the way to the wall by the door.

At the same time, he also hurriedly glanced at the snow a few times, and now that the distance was very close, it was even more clear that these footprints looked a little messy, not at all like a normal visit.

He stretched out his shield in his left hand and gently pushed the door—it creaked and slowly opened inward.

It stands to reason that Liz had already latched the door when she went out, and now this is obviously not normal.

The foreboding had basically been confirmed, and Luo Ming gritted his teeth fiercely and immediately rushed through the door.

What unfolded in front of him was a mess.

Originally, there was a shoe cabinet at the door, and there was a hanger above the shoe cabinet, hanging coats, hats and umbrellas, and a thick cloth that was old but still clean was laid at the door to absorb water - it was laid here by Luo Ming himself when it was just winter.

Now, there was a big hole in the shoe cabinet that looked like someone had smashed it, and the whole thing had collapsed downward, and a coat on the hanger had been rudely ripped off and fell to the ground, with a mark that was clearly torn.

The absorbent cloth was crumpled and crumpled, leaving many dirty footprints, and a small half of it was completely charred, only because of the muddy footprints that it was not completely burned.

There were also two sharp marks on the walls, and the porch was not particularly wide, which would have been left by wielding a sword or other weapon.

"What's the matter, it's terrible, I have to hurry up and call someone!"

Luo Ming made a voice pretending to be irrelevant to the crowd, raised his shield and quickly rushed into the house.

At first glance, it does look like Liz opening the door for someone, and then being suddenly attacked and taken away after a struggle.

However, the possibility that the enemy is still in the house cannot be ruled out - if the other party's purpose is not to arrest people, but to rob them outright, they may subdue Liz and start slowly rummaging through the cabinets.

If this is the case, they will detect someone approaching the house, and in order to avoid exposure, the robbers may set up an ambush inside the house, and when they enter the house, they will subdue him or kill him altogether.
