Lin You had just packed up her things, and before she had time to think about the weirdness of the Xu family, another maid came and said that the new guests were tired and they would not gather together today. After the guests had a night's rest, Let's have a nice gathering in the next two days. We are guests from afar. If you need anything, just say it. No need to be polite.
Lin You smiled and thanked her, and asked Mrs. Lin to send some money. As for Mrs. Lin's painful little eyes, Lin You chose to turn a blind eye. If Mrs. Lin wanted to say anything after they left, Lin You would just say that she was tired and needed to rest.
After taking a bath in an ancient version of the bathtub, Lin You was so happy that she wanted to enjoy a meal. Not to mention, the taste was really good. This may be because the ancient ingredients are natural and pollution-free.
On the grounds that she was worried about Mrs. Lin's health, she resolved her request for a vigil, which moved Mrs. Lin to tears. Lin You finally got clean and could think about her current environment.
Picking up the brush and drawing on the clean rice paper, Lin You felt her head hurt when she looked at the freshly baked map that looked like a child's graffiti. She really never expected that the store would be randomly refreshed before entering the dungeon. Looking at the three items in the store, and then looking at her zero points, Lin You held her chest and lamented.
At that time, Lin You saw the house map in the store and thought it was a very useful thing. Since she couldn't buy it with points, she could just try to draw it. Unexpectedly, Lin You overestimated his painting skills. Throwing away the brush, Lin You sat back on the chair heartbroken.
In fact, she could only rely on memory to draw the places she passed. She could not draw a real map of the house.
Soon, the sky became completely dark. Lin You looked at the dimmed lights in the rooms on the left and right, and extinguished the candles in her room with self-knowledge. When darkness completely shrouded the house, Lin You sat in the room, feeling as if she was the only one in this world.
After staying for a while, Lin You finally summoned up the courage to open the door. If the novice dungeon told me something, it was to strike first and gain the upper hand. If you were too scared at the beginning and were unwilling to understand, then the ghosts would become more ferocious towards the end.
Lin You, who almost tripped over the threshold of her room door, quickly steadied herself. She had walked around the yard where she lived before, and she had some idea of the geographical location here. First, Lin You went to Mrs. Lin's room. She was afraid that it would be terrible if Mrs. Lin came to see her at night and found that she was not there.
But the game did Lin You a favor. Mrs. Lin was lying on the bed with a pale face, not even breathing, just like a dead person. Lin You wasn't sure whether Mrs. Lin was dead or had become like this at night, so she quietly retreated out.
After going to a few more rooms to confirm the condition of the servants, Lin You opened the door of the small courtyard with a cold heart and walked outside. According to memory, Lin You followed the path to the living room. During the process, she passed several small courtyards. Since she didn't know who lived there, she didn't go there specifically to take a look.
Lin You discovered something was wrong along the way. There were actually people patrolling the Xu family at night. Although they were just wandering around the Xu family stiffly, it looked like they were easy to deal with. Obviously, the servants of the Lin family and the servants of the Xu family showed different states at night.
There was no one in the deserted living room at this time. The bustle of the day had long since disappeared. Lin You walked around for a long time without noticing anything strange. As he was exiting, he happened to see two figures coming in from outside. Lin You He subconsciously hid, but was quickly discovered.
"Stop hiding." A familiar male voice said, "The door is wide open. I don't believe it if there is no one there."
Lin You wasn't shy. Now that he was discovered, there was no need to hide. The people who came were one of the first people to wake up earlier than Lin You, Zheng Buyan, a man who wore shorts and talked less. Of course, as his name suggests, he rarely talks, so what he said just now was not said by him, but by the young man who woke up behind Lin You.
Ever since he woke up, he has been able to call others boss. This guy is actually pretty big.
In fact, these two people were a little surprised when they saw Lin You. At first, they believed Chen Cong's words, thinking that even if Lin You was not the kind of person who did nothing, he should not be the kind of person who took the initiative. people. Therefore, seeing Lin You appear alone in the living room was beyond their expectations.
"Are you... from the Escort Agency?" Lin You didn't know their identities at first, but after Mrs. Lin told the composition of the people who came to the Xu Mansion, she naturally had some guesses about the identity of each player.
"Those who are not as good as your young master and young lady have been in the inner courtyard from the beginning. Alas, we are suffering." These words are an admission of identity.
Zheng Buyan and Qu Le have maps. This living room is one of the junctions between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. After inquiring about the news, they naturally knew that the old lady was dead and there was no mourning hall outside, so they planned to go to the inner courtyard to investigate the situation.
Qule did not hide his whereabouts from Lin You, and generously extended a team invitation to Lin You. Lin You thought about it and nodded in agreement. If he was running around like a headless fly, he might as well follow these two people.
"Hey, did you know?" Qu Le came over and said, "The people our escorts are escorting are actually dead people. It stinks so much. They say they are relatives or something. They can't bear to have them live in a different place, so they move back to resettle them. They also want us to help carry the coffin, hey. ,unlucky."
relative
Lin You caught this key word, this Xu family is quite humane. The money for hiring an escort in ancient times should be quite a lot.
"Shouldn't the Taoist priest ring the bell and jump back?" Lin You made a joke.
"Haha, yes, yes, that's what zombie movies do." Qule nodded crazily. Then he continued:
"Moreover, the bones they brought back were not found in a mourning hall or anything like that. They were directly moved to a yard and locked up."
Lin You looked at Qu Le, who took the initiative to reveal the news to her, and then at Zheng Buyan, who looked normal. She thought for a moment, and then spoke:
"Well...their servants are like this too."
"Huh?" Qu Le's smile deepened. Lin You instantly understood that this was an exchange of information. But this song is quite interesting. He told two pieces of news first, and he was not afraid that he would not tell or not understand his little thoughts.
"Their aunt is wearing very bright clothes, and she seems to be... happy?"
To say he is happy is an understatement, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as joyful.
Lin You noticed that Qu Le was obviously a little excited when talking about the eldest aunt of the Xu family, so she continued:
"She really likes those three newcomers, no, they should be said to be from the Bai family. Moreover, the old man in this family also dotes on her. It is said that they came back from divorce..."
While Lin You and Qu Le were exchanging information, the small courtyard with white lanterns quickly arrived. Lin You and Qu Le stopped talking when they saw the yard. Seeing Qu Le's obviously serious face, Lin You touched the bracelet on her wrist and had some thoughts in her mind.
It seems that Qu Le's mission goal is related to the aunt of the Xu family.
Lin You thought about the information he got from Qu Le. The first one was almost useless at first, but the second one was not bad. It seemed that it was deliberately to offend him. But after Lin You knew what he meant, the news he said later became a lot more real.
Lin You glanced at Zheng Buyan who had not spoken from the beginning to the end. Their information was actually shared along the way, but forget it, who made the other party the boss? Maybe it's up to them to eliminate the ghosts.
Lin You and the other two people hid in the bushes, watching the two white lanterns in the small courtyard move automatically in the windless night. After waiting for a while, there was no movement at all in the small yard. After waiting for a while, after making sure that nothing happened or that there was something that needed someone to trigger, Zheng Buyan went to open the door directly. Lin You was stunned when he saw it. Qule took out the charm from somewhere.
Lin You discovered that things like charms are really common items in the hands of players. Lin You touched the three in her arms. Each one cost 100 points. As a newcomer, she really couldn't afford to be hurt.
The door was pushed open easily, and with a "crunch", everyone's hearts were lifted.
The three of them entered the small courtyard in order. The courtyard was dressed in a standard mourning hall. The door of the main room was wide open, and a red-painted coffin was parked there, which was very conspicuous.
There are three paper figures standing on the left and right of the coffin. The movements of the paper figures are different, including one holding a lamp, one bending down, one fanning... There is also a paper figure holding the carriage and horse behind it.
But this is not important. What is important is that there is a man wearing sackcloth and mourning kneeling in front of the coffin.
Zheng Buyan was the first to step forward and took out a knife from somewhere. The scabbard was painted with strange patterns. Before Lin You could see it clearly, the knife tentatively poked the person on the ground.
"tear"
The voice was small and clear. He used a knife to open the man's clothes, and a paper man with a big hole in his chest appeared in front of him.
This paper man wears human clothes and looks like a real person from behind. But this paper man who looks like a real person has no face.
Qule squatted down and began to search for the paper man to see if there was anything there. Zheng Buyan took a few steps forward and pushed open the coffin lid.
"sorry for disturbance."
This was the second time Zheng Buyan took the initiative to speak. Lin You looked over in surprise.
The person in the coffin is indeed an old lady. If you look closely, she has even been carefully decorated. The powder painted her face white, and she even put on red lipstick. The old lady's hair was pulled up into a delicate bun. Unlike other old people, whose hair becomes thinner as people grow older, this old lady's hair was extremely thick.
Qu Le didn't get anything useful from the paper figurine. When he saw the coffin being opened, he quickly took a few steps and helped Zheng Buyan put down the coffin lid.
At this moment, the old lady was completely exposed in front of Lin You and the others.
"There is no corpse transformation." Quele grabbed the old lady's hand on her abdomen and looked at it, then took out a silver needle and pierced the old lady's throat. "It has not turned black. The resentment is not in the throat. It looks like this It shouldn’t be a zombie.”
Zheng Buyan looked at the silver needle and nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he looked at Lin You and took the initiative to speak to Lin You:
"It's not convenient for you to check the body."
Lin You looked at the body of the old lady who had spent her time peacefully, and then at Qu Le and Zheng Buyan.
"I?"
"Well, we are all grown men." Quelle scratched his head, "It's not good if you offend~"
so…
Lin You suddenly remembered what Qu Le said at the beginning, that they knew that the old lady had passed away and went to the inner courtyard to check. Was it that they were plotting against him at that time
It's not an exchange of information, the information is just a reward for your help. And Qu Le's smile after he misunderstood it, should it be an unexpected surprise? ?
