Chapter 78 Wet Footprints
It was already half past midnight, and the sound of wind blowing the bushes rustled, as if something was crying.
Xiaolan walked in front with her head silenced, her thin body melting into the darkness, and seemed to be shaking.
"She is afraid of something."
Tongguan and Chang Nian walked side by side, and were always observing Xiaolan's every move.
Chang Nian was ready at this moment, and as long as Xiaolan brought them to the bedroom, she would start.
She just whispered to Tongguan's words.
Tongguan looked down at Chang Nian and suddenly laughed.
This smile made everyone feel a little scared, especially Xiaolan in front of him even stood there.
She whispered in a low voice: "It's coming soon, everyone should go quickly."
"Why? Isn't it good to have a breath of wind at night? I haven't seen such a big garden before." Yu Guo said this from behind.
But no one stopped him. In fact, everyone could see that there was a ghost in the Li Mansion.
But now Xiaolan is so secretive that she doesn't want to say more. It must be that the old woman made an explanation in advance.
But if you can test it, just test it.
When Xiaolan heard Yu Guo’s words, a panic appeared on her delicate little face that had not yet been adult.
He couldn't help but look in a certain direction, but turned back immediately.
"It's better to leave quickly, it's quite cold."
"I have been tolerating you for a long time! Tell me the truth, what exactly is there in this house? What's going on with the empty coffin you are having funeral every day!"
Tao Xiaoyi burst out instantly. She was already nervous and could not bear it anymore.
Seeing other people was just a simple test, which made her feel even more unsure.
Xiaolan was suddenly grabbed by Tao Xiaoyi and screamed in fear.
"I don't know, I don't know anything!
Don't ask me, I'm just responsible for taking you to find a guest room!"
Tongguan now focused all his attention on Chang Nian's side face: "Do you want to take her away?"
Chang Nian nodded subconsciously, then reacted and looked at Tongguan suddenly.
"We have been together for so many years, how could I not guess?
But it is still in the early stage of the mission, so I don’t recommend doing this, and I think since the old woman sent her here, I expected that she would not say anything.”
When Tongguan talked, he was only halfway through his speech.
Another voice sounded from behind, from Fang Shenyan who caught up.
He looked at Xiaolan's timid appearance and added the second half:
“Or it is, that old woman has the means to make Xiaolan absolutely unable to speak!
Just like, Chen Fu could control us at the beginning!”
Tongguan nodded, and finally looked at Chang Nian, who was still thinking, and clenched her palm: "Don't worry, it's still a long time."
"arrive."
When everyone walked to a courtyard, Xiaolan suddenly stopped, pointed to the houses, and said softly.
“There are three rooms in the North Courtyard and two rooms, next door.”
At this time, Tao Xiaoyi said, "No, no, these three rooms are enough, we live together."
Tongguan also nodded: "We can just live in the North Hospital."
Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, as if she was considering whether this was in line with the old woman's instructions.
But then didn't say much.
"Then you stay here first, I will come again tomorrow morning." After that, she turned around and left.
The clerks did not stop them anymore. Since they couldn't ask anything, they could only adapt to the situation.
Tongguan took Chang Nian's hand and walked towards the first room leaning against the west wall.
Instead of gathering together to summarize the information, we were preparing to investigate the situation in the bedroom first.
Tao Xiaoyi grabbed Yu Guo's sleeve and clamped it in Fang. The two of us said, "Don't sleep separately, can we squeeze it?"
Yu Guo had no objection and nodded. After all, he really came to the mission and basically had no time to go to bed.
But Fang Shenyan said coldly: "You two go to sleep in the middle room, I live in the east wall room myself."
"ah?"
Not to mention Tao Xiaoyi's unexpectedness, even Yu Guo was stunned. He pinched his arm and thought he had heard it wrong.
He looked at Tao Xiaoyi who was stunned beside him and said to himself:
"No, with his style, he should try his best to sleep with Tao Xiaoyi so that he can do something when the ghost attacks. How could it be..."
But after thinking about it, he saw Fang Shenyan's eyes again.
There was a strange light flashing there, and there was a vague guess in my heart, and in the end I didn't ask.
Fang Shenyan nodded casually to Yu Guo, then walked into the east room with his backpack.
Yu Guo whispered as he walked: "Go and go back quickly, Tongguan may have to analyze the information later."
"Brother Yu, what did you say?" Tao Xiaoyi asked blankly when she heard Yu Guo's words with her bag.
"Nothing, let's go in and take a look first."
...
It was almost three o'clock in the night, and even the night owl stopped howling.
The whole old house is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
In the west room, four white waxes were placed next to an old square wooden table, and four clerks were also sitting.
Tongguan looked at the missing corner in surprise and asked Yu Guo in confusion:
"Where did Fang Shenyan go?"
Yu Guo scratched his head, glanced at Tao Xiaoyi on the side, and asked casually:
"How do I know?"
At this time, Fang Shenyan had already passed away from the North Courtyard and headed towards the back door of the old house.
A map outlined in his mind, guiding him to move forward in the darkness.
No one knows what Fang Shenyan did in his previous work.
No one knows that his most powerful strength is not planning, but memory.
This is much stronger than Tongguan.
Although after coming to Li's mansion, Yu Guo and Tongguan were speaking.
But not speaking does not mean incompetence.
Perhaps it is another way of survival.
Fang Shenyan not only remembers the path he has walked, but can also outline it in his mind.
Along the way, he was able to roughly guess the layout of the entire old house.
And when I was at the door of the mansion, I saw the man in white robe transporting the coffin to the alley, and vaguely pondered the location of the back door.
But, that's it.
But Fang Shenyan has not been easy along the way.
This old house covers a very large area. The way they came, including the North Courtyard, was roughly located in the front yard of this old house.
Now that he had plunged into the backyard of the old house, he had no more guidance.
It is entirely speculated based on the distance between the alley layout and the block observed before entering the mansion.
The backyard is quieter than the front yard. In the quiet midnight, even the sound of the wind blowing leaves disappear.
Only Fang Shenyan's footsteps were alone, and this feeling was still very nervous even though he had been baptized several times.
But his purpose here is bound to be achieved.
Whether he can successfully find valuable information will determine success or failure for all clerks.
The living person is still walking, but slowly the atmosphere around him changes.
It's that kind of subtle rendering, something is different.
But humans who are aware of this are not sensitive to this, and they are only concerned about moving forward.
I didn't notice that the footprints I left on the sand showed a hint of dampness.
The footprints of living people are filled with water stains for no reason!
