Lu Li raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.
"Excuse me, is there anyone?"
After saying that, after waiting for a while, a voice came from behind the door.
"Who are you¡¡"
His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and speaking out suddenly seemed a bit difficult.
Lu Li slightly cupped his hands toward the door, and then said with a smile: "I'm reporting back to the master's house. I'm a passerby. It's already dark today, and it's too dangerous to travel late at night. I saw a manor here, so I came to your manor to stay overnight. Is that okay?" "
¡°Borrowing for the night?¡±
A confused voice came from behind the door, and then
Squeak¡ª¡ª
The sound of wood scraping sounded, and the door in front of him opened.
A middle-aged man appeared in front of Lu Li.
This man¡¯s face was expressionless, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was pale. He was standing behind the door. If he hadn¡¯t seen that he was still breathing on his chest, you would have thought he was a dead man.
If an ordinary person had seen this, he would have been so frightened that he would have run away crawling.
But Lu Li is naturally not afraid of this, let alone be frightened.
"It's justyou wantto stay overnight?"
This man twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a stiff and ugly smile.
While speaking, he was also looking at Lu Li. Seeing that he was alone with a donkey behind him, he seemed to have a bigger smile on his face.
It¡¯s just that under this gloomy sky, this smile hidden in the dark is a bit weird.
"Yes, I wonder if the master agrees?"
Lu Li also laughed, and his smile was bright.
"Okayjust come with me."
The middle-aged man nodded, then turned around and walked directly in, regardless of whether the people behind him followed.
Lu Li looked at the man's retreating back, his expression moving slightly.
If you encounter this situation normally and find something is obviously wrong, it is natural to leave as soon as possible.
But for now.
¡®After so many days of leisure, it would be nice to play occasionally and have some snacks. ¡¯
He smiled slightly in his heart, casually tied the donkey to the stone lion at the door, and followed him.
Enter the hospital.
Lu Li then realized that Zhuangzi seemed to be doing nothing, with white flags and cloth hanging everywhere, but there were only a few people there.
After walking around on the road, I didn¡¯t see a single person except the middle-aged man leading the way.
Logically speaking, it is not impossible for a house as big as this to have dozens, if not hundreds, of servants.
But there is no one here.
"Master, is the village doing nothing? There is such a big village, why don't you see a few people?"
If you don¡¯t understand, just ask. Lu Li has always had this good habit.
Hearing his question, the middle-aged man leading the way paused, then turned around and said: "Yes, my old man passed away, and my second master was also too sad, so he followed him.
Some other servants are now following the uncle to the mourning hall to keep vigil, and it is normal to see no one at the moment.
Okay, don¡¯t mention this. Come to the guest room with me first. The guest room is in the south courtyard. "
The middle-aged man's face is still pale, but he seems to have adapted to it, and his speech is not as difficult as before and much smoother.
At this time, he explained something, then turned around and led the way.
After hearing this, Lu Li showed a polite expression of sadness on his face, but his eyes showed a hint of fun. He stopped asking any more questions and followed the middle-aged man to the south courtyard.
This side is the guest room, with more than a dozen rooms divided into several courtyards.
¡°Originally, if the village owner had something to do, he would definitely notify his relatives and friends to come to express condolences. Since Caozhuang is also a wealthy family, there will be many people coming, and most of these houses will be full.
But after Lu Li arrived at the south courtyard, all the courtyards here were empty.
Some weeds and dead leaves mixed with snowflakes covered the courtyard. Many objects in the rooms in the courtyard were also covered with dust. It looked like they had not been cleaned for many days.
"You can sleep here."
The middle-aged man took Lu Li to one of the rooms in the courtyard. He didn't care about the dust in the room or asked if the visitor wanted food. After speaking, he turned around and left.
"Although I am staying overnight, it would be too rude."
Looking at his leaving figure, Lu Li couldn't help but shake his head.
"well,The coming shadow.
"It seems that we still need to deal with the bugs here first, otherwise they will keep buzzing in our ears and it will be impossible to rest."
With a murmur, Lu Li snuffed out the shadow, then got up and got out of bed.
He walked to the door of the room, opened it with a creak.
Then the next moment, a pale face appeared in front of you.
His face was pale and bloodless, his eyes were dim and turbid, and had lost any luster. It was the middle-aged man who opened the door for him earlier.
In this late night, this man actually stood upright at the door, peeping at the residents in the room.
But compared to before.
At this time, this middle-aged man not only looked like a dead person, but actually turned into a dead person completely.
The rise and fall of the chest has completely disappeared, and the body has become cold, and you can even see some Yin Qi leaking out.
at this time.
A wisp of black energy flew out of the middle-aged man's body and entered Lu Li's body. However, the quantity is not large, and it only looks like two qi are condensed.
"It's okay to disturb your dreams in the middle of the night. Let me see what's going on in Caozhuang."
Lu Li raised his head and squinted at the moonlight in the sky. At some point, a dark shadow appeared on the moon.
The black shadow was twisted and looked like irregular ink stains. However, looking at it vaguely, it seemed to be something.
What does it look like?
Lu Li thought about it in his mind, and soon some kind of poisonous insect appeared.
"That's right, centipede."
Having come to this conclusion, his eyes flickered, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"Tsk tsk!"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Lu Li pushed away the corpse blocking the door, turned around and walked out of the south courtyard, heading towards the location where the Yin Qi was the strongest.
