The upper room was even quieter than Ye Zhen had imagined. She and Fang Yanjun had hardly met anyone along the way. The Fang family was a famous family, and Fang Yunsong was the head of the family. How could his upper room be served by just a few people.
"It's very quiet." Ye Zhen said, "Is it always like this in the upper room?"
"No..." Fang Yanjun said, "There used to be a lot of people who went to the house. I don't know when it started. Grandpa didn't like others to serve him. I heard that he sent many servants away."
A terrifying thought flashed in Ye Zhen's mind, she shook her head, and told herself that it would not be like that, ghost beasts are at least monsters from the God Continent, they would not really be like wild beasts, even eating people.
"Have all the servants who were sent away gone home?" Ye Zhen still couldn't help asking in a low voice.
"This... I haven't inquired about it, what's the matter?" Fang Yanjun asked.
"Then let's inquire." Ye Zhen didn't say the reason, "Old Master Fang suddenly changed his temperament, something must have happened."
Fang Yanjun glanced at Ye Zhen hesitantly, "Well, I will ask someone to inquire."
"What's that place over there?" Ye Zhen pointed to the place behind the yard, which seemed more secretive and remote.
"Oh, that was originally my grandmother's small Buddhist hall. My grandfather didn't believe in Buddhism. Since my grandmother passed away, it has been deserted." Fang Yanjun said.
Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, "Can I go over and have a look?"
Fang Yanjun said, "There's nothing there, there's dust everywhere, my grandfather wouldn't go there."
"Maybe it's really there." Ye Zhen said, she didn't activate the sea of energy, let alone use any spiritual power, but she faintly felt that something was staring at her in the small Buddhist hall.
"Okay, I'll go there with you." Fang Yanjun said, "I went there when my grandmother was there. Apart from the Buddha statues, there were scriptures copied by my grandmother everywhere. Later, when I wanted to go in, my grandfather would not give it to me." .”
Ye Zhen asked, "Since your grandfather didn't believe in Buddhism, why did you keep the small Buddhist hall?"
"After all, it was the place my grandmother used to go to most often, so my grandfather naturally wanted to keep it."
They passed through the courtyard and walked a long way before they came to the vicinity of the small Buddhist hall. Although the small Buddhist hall is remote and not dilapidated, it is only surrounded by weeds, which shows that it has not been taken care of for a long time.
This place is on the westernmost side of the upper room, not close to the main courtyard. It is estimated that the old Mrs. Fang knew that Fang Yunsong did not believe in Buddhism, so she set up the small Buddhist hall in this place.
"There are footprints." Fang Yanjun, who was walking in front, pointed to the ground, where there were a few sparse footprints.
Ye Zhen stepped forward to check, when she saw those footprints, her expression changed slightly.
Fang Yanjun didn't notice Ye Zhen's strangeness, he stared at the ground suspiciously, and said hesitantly, "This footprint... doesn't seem to belong to grandfather, isn't it a bit too big."
This footprint obviously does not belong to a mortal, how could a human footprint be so large.
"Let me take a look." Ye Zhen pulled Fang Yanjun back a few steps to keep him away from the small Buddhist hall. If he guessed correctly, the ghost beast should be hidden there.
If it weren't for daytime, maybe the ghost beast had already appeared.
"Doctor Ye, what kind of footprints are these?" Fang Yanjun asked in surprise.
"I don't know..." Ye Zhen smiled reluctantly, "This should not be footprints, Mrs. Fang won't be here, let's go to another place to see."
Fang Yanjun shook his head, "I think something is wrong inside, Doctor Ye, let's go in and take a look."
If she goes in, she may not be able to protect Fang Yanjun!
"Don't go in, let's find your grandfather first." Ye Zhen grabbed Fang Yanjun's wrist, preventing him from approaching the Small Buddha Hall.
"Maybe grandfather is inside." Fang Yanjun said, "Let's go in."
"No..." Ye Zhen stopped him.
Suddenly, an old and deep voice came from behind them, "What are you doing here?"
Fang Yanjun turned his head abruptly and saw that it was Fang Yunsong, "Grandfather, I... I'm here to find you."
"You know that I don't like people coming here." Fang Yunsong snorted coldly, looking at Ye Zhen with gloomy eyes.
"There are footprints here, grandfather, is there someone inside?" Fang Yanjun asked, pointing to the footprints on the ground.
Ye Zhen really wanted to cover Fang Yanjun's mouth, "Where are these footprints, you misread it."
"The small Buddhist hall has been closed for many years, so who can there be?" Fang Yunsong said coldly, "If you don't go back, you are here to recuperate from your illness, not to play."
Hearing Fang Yunsong's stern tone, Fang Yanjun became more suspicious. He felt that there must be someone in the small Buddhist hall.
Why did grandfather keep it from them
Ye Zhen frowned slightly and looked at Fang Yunsong, wondering why his complexion looked so different from yesterday's. Yesterday he was a rosy complexion and a hale and hearty old man, but today he felt that he was exhausted, as if his vitality was exhausted all at once. .
No normal person would age so quickly, which is obviously a problem.
"Old Master Fang, yesterday I took your pulse and found a problem, can you let me take your pulse again?" Ye Zhen asked Fang Yunsong in a low voice.
"Yes, grandfather, Doctor Ye's medical skills are very powerful." Fang Yanjun said.
Fang Yunsong looked at Ye Zhen coldly, "I'm fine."
"Your complexion doesn't look very good." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Maybe I didn't get a clear diagnosis yesterday..."
"The old man is in good health!" Fang Yunsong's tone became even colder, "This is not the place for you to come, hurry up!"
Seeing Fang Yunsong getting angry, Fang Yanjun was even more suspicious, he turned his head and looked at Ye Zhen.
"Okay, then let's go first." Ye Zhen nodded slightly to him, Fang Yunsong didn't want her to see a doctor, so she couldn't force him.
"Grandfather, let's go first." Fang Yanjun said in a low voice, and he and Ye Zhen left the small Buddhist hall, and after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back, only to see Fang Yunsong looking at him with a gloomy and indifferent face.
Fang Yanjun said to Ye Zhen in a low voice, "Doctor Ye, I think there is something wrong with the Small Buddha Hall, and so is my grandfather... No, I want to find uncle and the others and let them find a solution."
"Don't worry, let's find out first." Fortunately, the members of the Fang family are all at the academy. If they were all in the Fang family, they might disappear inexplicably like those servants.
"But..." Fang Yanjun was still worried.
Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "I'll go to your elder brother, he will go to your uncle and the others. It's inconvenient for you to do anything now."
"Okay." Fang Yanjun felt that what Ye Zhen said made sense, his grandfather would stare at him for anything he did in the upper room, and he couldn't do anything at all.
"Leave it to me." If the ghost beast was really in the small Buddhist hall, it should have heard them talking outside.
Will it come to Fang Yanjun tonight
☆, 2108
Ye Zhen took Fang Yanjun back to the room, and told him not to go out again, so as not to anger Fang Yunsong.
"Taohua, go and invite the young master over here." Although Fang Yanjun promised Ye Zhen that he would not go to the Small Buddha Hall again, he was still worried and must tell Fang Yanxuan of his suspicions, and let Fang Yanxuan invite the other elders in the family back.
"Do the other elders of the Fang family, like your father, live here?" Ye Zhen asked suspiciously.
Fang Yanjun said, "Originally my parents and uncle lived at home. Three months ago, my grandfather asked them to move to the mansion over the academy, saying that it was inconvenient for them to travel back and forth..." For half a day, it was inconvenient to go back and forth every day, so no one had any complaints, but they would still come to the old house every month to pay their respects to grandfather.
Three months ago, that was around the time of the natural disaster.
Ye Zhen sighed in her heart, the ghost beast must have controlled Fang Yunsong at that time.
"So that's the case. No wonder the Fang family mansion looks empty." Ye Zhen said, "Why don't you go to the academy?"
"I was going to go, but I suddenly fell ill." Fang Yanjun said, he was stunned after speaking, his face changed slightly, it was such a coincidence, why did he fall ill when everyone moved away
Ye Zhen knew that he was a smart child, once he had doubts about some things, he would find more and more problems.
"Doctor Ye, I don't know what happened to my grandfather, he was not like this before." Fang Yanjun shouted.
"Maybe... bewitched my mind." Ye Zhen whispered.
"Who bewitched my grandfather? My grandfather is a wise and steady person. Someone came to him before. No matter what kind of temptation he used, my grandfather would not be tempted. How could he be bewitched so easily this time?" Fang Yanjun shook his head, he still felt that The thing is too strange.
That's because it wasn't people who bewitched Fang Yunsong this time, but ghosts and beasts.
"Don't go anywhere tonight, just stay here." Ye Zhen said.
"Doctor Ye..." Seeing that Ye Zhen was about to leave, Fang Yanjun hurriedly stopped her.
At this time, Tao Hua and Chen Butler walked in together, with a look of gloating on their faces.
Looks like nothing good will happen! Ye Zhen thought silently in her heart.
Housekeeper Chen bowed to Fang Yanjun, frowned and looked at Ye Zhen, "Doctor Ye, the old lady asked me to send you the consultation fee. I have troubled you to take care of our young master these days, but our young master is a man of good character. Zhehei, fearing that his pure nature would be spoiled, had no choice but to ask Doctor Ye to leave Qinghe City."
Ye Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Butler Chen, whoever is close to ink is black? Does this mean that she has spoiled Fang Yanjun
Tao Hua glanced at Ye Zhen proudly.
"Chen Steward, is someone going to gossip in front of my grandfather? Doctor Ye is very skilled in medicine, and he cured my illness. How can I drive people away like this?" Fang Yanjun held back his anger, how could his grandfather do such a thing.
"Young master, the young ones are all doing things according to the old man's orders." Chen Butler said, it was the old man who wanted to drive away Dr. Ye, that was not what he meant.
Fang Yanjun stood up angrily, "I'm going to find my grandfather."
"No need." Ye Zhen stopped Fang Yanjun, "Even if you go to him, you still won't be able to change his mind. Since Mrs. Fang thinks I've spoiled you, then I'll just leave."
"Doctor Ye, you can't leave." Fang Yanjun took Ye Zhen's hand, he promised himself that he would help him heal his grandfather.
Ye Zhen thought that Fang Yunsong wanted to drive her away from Fang's house, probably because of the ghosts and beasts. The ghosts should want to attack Fang Yanjun. If she and Mo Rongzhan left, maybe the ghosts would show up.
"Brother Jun, don't worry, I will fulfill what I promised you." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
"How can you help me when you leave?" Fang Yanjun didn't want Ye Zhen to leave, if he left, he really didn't know who to ask for help.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "If I don't leave, I won't be able to help you."
"Young master, the old master has hired another famous doctor for you, don't worry." Tao Hua thought that Fang Yanjun's reluctance to part with Ye Zhen was because he was worried that no one could cure his illness.
"What do you know!" Fang Yanjun scolded Taohua, "Did you talk nonsense in front of the old man?"
Taohua yelled aggrievedly, "Master, I didn't say anything."
"Young master, this is what the old man meant." Butler Chen said again.
Ye Zhen patted Fang Yanjun's shoulder lightly, "It's okay, just go."
Fang Yanjun looked at Ye Zhen anxiously. For the first time, he felt helpless in Fang's house.
"Doctor Ye..." Fang Yanjun frowned and looked at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen smiled at him and said comfortingly, "I will never forget what I promised you."
Steward Chen followed Ye Zhen all the time, watching her and Murong Zhan leave Fang's house, and then closed the door of Fang's house.
"Azhan!" Ye Zhen held Mo Rongzhan's hand, "We just saw the footprints of ghosts and beasts, and he was in the small Buddhist hall in the upper room. He asked Fang Yunsong to drive us away. He must want Fang Yanjun Let's do it."
"I know." Murong Zhan said in a deep voice, "Let's come to Fang's house again tonight."
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded lightly, they had to wash off the appearance of disguise, otherwise they would be discovered in Qinghe City soon.
After Ye Zhen left, Fang Yanjun felt restless and waited for a long time before Fang Yanxuan came.
"Brother, grandfather drove Dr. Ye away." Fang Yanjun said as soon as he saw his elder brother, he stood up immediately.
"I already know about this." Fang Yanxuan said in a deep voice, "How do you feel now?"
"I've been much better, but grandfather..." Fang Yanjun wanted to talk about Fang Yunsong's problem.
Fang Yanxuan hissed, "I know what you're going to say. I've been looking into this matter for the past two days. All the servants in the upper room disappeared. I thought they had all gone home, but I found that they didn't. He didn't go to other places to do business, and disappeared inexplicably."
"How come?" Fang Yanjun's face changed, "If they didn't go home... where did they go?"
"I think only grandfather knows." Fang Yanxuan lowered his voice, "I went to my father, but he told us not to worry about grandfather's business."
After all, Fang Yanjun was young and couldn't hold his breath, "How can I not care, what if something happens to my grandfather?"
"Don't worry." Fang Yanxuan said in a low voice, "I will find a way."
"I think there is a problem in that small Buddhist hall..." Fang Yanjun said, "I want to go and have a look."
Fang Yanjun nodded, "Then I'll find a way to lure grandfather away, and you take someone to check."
"Okay, what can you do to distract grandfather?" Fang Yanjun asked.
"Let's just say that something happened to the academy. Grandfather will definitely go to the academy." Fang Yanxuan said, "You don't want to go alone, someone will accompany you."
"I know."
