Chapter 122: Nearly Exposed
At this moment, a servant came in through the door of the back garden.
I saw him running towards the courtyard with hurried steps.
"What's the matter? what is the sound?" cried the servant.
It turned out to be a middle-aged manservant, and as soon as he came in, he ran towards the rockery that was shattered by Yuxi.
When the manservant ran not far from the rockery with a flurry of steps, he found the small tree that had been cut off by the waist.
"What's going on? How did this little tree get cut down? Who did it?"
The manservant raised his head and swept his gaze around, he wanted to find out who it was at once, and he was so bold as to cut down the small tree in the general's mansion.
At this moment, while the manservant was looking for the perpetrator, the frog brother who was hiding in the corner retracted his head, hid in the grass, and slipped away without a sound.
Brother Frog wanted to sneak back into the fish pond as quickly as possible, and hide as much as he could, so as not to be discovered by this good servant, lest he cause a lot of trouble.
If Brother Frog is discovered, maybe he will be picked up and thrown outside the General's Mansion, and it is not known whether he will be dead or alive in the future.
Brother Frog just wants to find a hiding place now, and now that this manservant has discovered some clues in the back garden, it is unknown what will happen in the future.
The manservant looked around and soon spotted a rockery not far from the tree.
At the foot of the rockery, some broken stones are scattered everywhere, and the abrupt rock on the top of the rockery has disappeared.
At this point, the manservant seemed to notice something, and he soon realized that something unusual must have happened in the place where he was standing.
"Why? The little tree was cut off at the waist, and it certainly wasn't blown off by the wind. And what about the broken stones that fell to the ground? Surely they weren't struck by lightning. After all, there was no wind, rain, or thunder just now? Was it haunted? But in broad daylight, I was dazzled?"
The manservant hesitantly wiped his eyes, and looked again at the small tree and the rubble that had fallen to the ground in front of him.
He was puzzled, what was going on?
Over the years, nothing like this has happened in the General's Palace, right?
Could it be that there are still some secrets hidden in the Yasukuni General's Palace?
At this time, Yuxi had already flown behind several rockeries in the distance, and she moved her steps slightly, and moved to the doorway behind the manservant like lightning, leaving a breeze wherever she walked.
The servant was facing away from the door of the back garden at this time, and there were some trees and flowers behind him, so he didn't notice that Yuxi was approaching the door of the back garden.
Yuxi flew and flashed out of the gate to the courtyard, she calmed down, took a deep breath, and found that there was no one around, and no one seemed to be aware of her whereabouts. Then Yuxi relaxed her nervous expression and walked to her boudoir with her legs open.
In the back garden, the manservant was still standing next to the severed tree, trying to find a clue as to who had done it, and why this man had been so bold and disrespectful to destroy the trees and rockeries in the General's Mansion.
The valet stooped down to inspect the severed tree, which he soon found was not cut by an axe or a machete at its fracture.
There are many tree fibers connected to the fracture of the tree, and if you want to talk about it, it is more like being blown off by a gust of wind.
But the manservant looked up at the sky, and there was a clear blue sky, and there were not even a few clouds, so where did the wind come from?
It seems that this thing is a bit incredible.
He lifted his legs again and walked to the foot of the rockery, where there were some black gravel scattered on the ground, and then he found a few larger rocks.
Could it be that he was struck by lightning?
Although he heard the sound of the rockery being hit a moment ago, it didn't look like a burst of thunder.
At this time, the middle-aged manservant was even more puzzled.
He didn't understand at all what had happened in this meadow where he was standing not so long ago, so confusing.
Although it seemed to be an ordinary thing, if it was a thunderstorm night, then he would not find it strange at all, but now it was broad daylight, and it was a clear morning, how such a strange thing could happen, enough to make him puzzled.
The manservant scratched his scalp: "Should I tell the butler about this? This is a little strange, how can this be? It's a bit weird." Don't be haunted, forget it, I'm haunted, bad luck!"
Then the manservant walked to the door of the back garden, and as he went, he looked nervously at the corners of the back garden, hoping for something new to discover, but afraid of a strange figure coming out of nowhere.
The manservant felt a chill on the back of his neck, and although it was a sunny day, there was no one in the back garden, and he seemed to sense that something was wrong, and he hastened his pace and ran towards the door.
In less than five minutes, the manservant ran out of the gate of the back garden, and when he reached the door, he stopped and hesitated.
"Should I tell the butler about this?"
The valet raised his hand and scratched the back of his head.
"Well, it seems that I should not say anything. If I really say it, if I don't get it right, it will become a haunted in the back garden of the General's Mansion, and General Murong may be annoyed and angry when he hears it, and then the housekeeper will blame me, saying that I spread rumors, and then find someone to beat me up and drive me out of the General's Mansion. Forget it, whatever he does, I might as well turn a blind eye and forget it, just as if I didn't see anything. Hmph! More things are better than less things, anyway, I won't come here much in the future, and I'm just weird there. ”
"Oh, poof!" said the manservant, spitting on the grass beside the gate, feeling unlucky that something like this would happen.
Thinking of this, this middle-aged manservant felt that it was better to ignore this matter, lest after he said it, it would become him saying that the General's Mansion was haunted, and then General Murong might be angry and ask the housekeeper to teach him a hard lesson, and then drive him out of the General's Mansion.
You must know that this is in the Yasukuni General's Mansion, but it is not an ordinary family, although the General's Mansion is very large, and many places are negligent in management, but the big families are all trying to be auspicious, if someone says that the mansion is haunted, it will not only ruin the reputation, but also bad feng shui.
Therefore, even if the servants of large families usually find that something is wrong, they will ask for good luck and keep their mouths shut about it, so as not to be blamed by the master and walk around without eating.
