Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Looking at the dancing flames in the brazier, Shen Maomao felt a little messed up.

At first, she thought that the main plot of this dungeon would revolve around the four ladies, but now it somehow involved the plague and the Black Death... Is there any necessary connection between the two?

Large swathes of black smoke escaped from the window cracks, and the room also smelled of smoke.

She thought a lot, including what she would wear next after Lou Jingmo's work clothes were burned, whether the black smoke would attract the attention of others, and the plot of this dungeon...

Compared to her entanglement, Lou Jingmo was quite calm.After burning her clothes, she began to think about sneaking into the castle again.

Before she could figure out one, two, three, there was a loud noise outside.

They live near the gate of the manor, so any movement outside can be heard clearly in the house.There are countless people coming and going at the gate of the manor on weekdays, so Shen Maomao didn't pay much attention to this voice.

On the contrary, Lou Jingmo listened carefully for a while, then raised his hand and closed the window.

Shen Maomao: "Sister Lou? Are you planning to let us die here from carbon monoxide poisoning?"

Lou Jingmo said: "It seems that the baron is back."

baron?Wouldn't that be an important plot?

Shen Maomao poured a pot of water on the brazier, and there was a large white water vapor in the room, mixed with the black smoke that choked the nose, covering both of them.

She grabbed Lou Jingmo's hand, fumbled to open the door, walked out with Lou Jingmo, and then closed the door...

From the outside, it can't be seen that the inside is "surrounded by fairy spirit".

"Go—" she whispered to Lou Jingmo, "Let's go and see the excitement."

Lou Jingmo: "..." She understands the truth, can the brazier still be used if such a basin of water goes down?

……

There were not many people outside in the morning, but now the road in the middle of the manor is full of servants on both sides, one head after another, it's so dark, it's really spectacular.

The voices they heard in the room just now came from these servants, and the baron's carriage had not arrived yet.

The four ladies came out from the garden corridor, followed by their servants.The guards were holding swords, the maids were holding umbrellas, and other servants who were watching loudly praised the beauty of the ladies, their voices were like heat waves, wave after wave.

Shen Maomao hid behind Lou Jingmo, trying not to let others see her face.

For the time being, no servant dared to squeeze into the middle, and the vicinity of the ladies was barely a vacuum.So she could see clearly at a glance: Except for the ladies, there were quite a few of the eight servants, and they were all here—including herself.

The two governesses, dressed in new and soft clothes, quietly followed behind the ladies.The man's face was expressionless, and the female newcomer's face was pale. She looked more like a real player than a man.

Another half day has passed, and Shen Maomao is still not sure whether the person who had dinner with him in the morning is still human now; the two tutors have not been with them from the beginning, but they must have experienced something horrible thing.

Not long after, a group of carriages drove over from a distance, and finally drove into the manor yard.

The butler in tuxedo, Layson, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, greeted him and stood respectfully beside a carriage.

The coachman opened the door, a pair of gold-rimmed boots stepped on the ground, and a tall man in a formal dress got out of the carriage, revealing his masked face...

Shen Maomao grabbed Lou Jingmo's shoulder and peeked at the few people in the middle, and couldn't help complaining when he saw this: "Is this just after attending a masquerade ball?"

Lou Jing pulled her into his arms and covered her mouth with his hand mercilessly, preventing her from making any more noise.

Fortunately, their position was very low and did not attract people's attention.

Leysen bent down and saluted the man: "Your Baron, welcome home."

The baron nodded dignifiedly and looked at the four beautiful ladies.

The ladies held up their skirts to salute him and said in unison: "Father, welcome home."

"Good boy..." the baron spoke, his voice was as rough as sandpaper rubbing against a stone.

Third Miss seemed a little afraid of him, and couldn't help but backed away a small half step when she heard his voice.After realizing what she had done, she immediately raised her feet and returned to her original position, lowering her head as if nothing had happened.

However, the baron walked up to her in a few steps, lifted the girl's delicate chin with his index finger wearing a silk glove, and said playfully, "Little Anna...what are you afraid of?"

Third Miss's slender eyelashes kept trembling, but she forced a smile and said, "I don't have... Father."

The baron let her go, snorted and walked straight to the castle, leaving the rest behind.

The four ladies all heaved a sigh of relief, and the third lady, Anna, even lay down in Luzhu's arms.

From Shen Maomao's perspective, it was easy to see that Luzhu's whole body was stiff.

The butler, Layson, did not follow the baron into the castle. He looked at the ladies and said coldly, "Please keep your manners, ladies, and don't disappoint the teachers' expectations."

Anna straightened her back in silence.

The female bride waved her hand: "It's nothing." Although her face was pale, her expression was still calm, and she didn't panic.

Only then was Laysen satisfied, and turned his head to count the goods and goods brought back by the convoy.

……

The status of the four ladies is not as high as Shen Maomao imagined, which can be seen from the attitude of the baron and the butler towards them.

But it makes sense to think about it carefully. After all, they are just adopted daughters, and it's normal for them to be awkward at home.

So what about the Baron's own children?He is such an old man, and he is still a baron, so he can't fail to marry a wife, right?

Shen Maomao smacked his lips, thinking that if this was true, he would be a miserable baron.

After watching the excitement, the maids and guards, who were mixed with humans and ghosts, were brought back to the castle. She and Lou Jingmo left the front yard of the manor before the servants left.

It was so big and lively just now, almost all the people who could come in the manor came. Thirteen players, dead or alive, twelve of them attended the scene. Except for the little golden retriever and the newcomer He Yongchang, they didn't miss this plot point.

He Yongchang is the chef, and it is time for the master to eat. He is probably busy in the kitchen of the castle and has no time to come out.

So where did the little golden retriever go?

If Lou Jingmo hadn't mentioned it, Shen Maomao wouldn't have even remembered that Golden Retriever hadn't appeared all morning.

Perhaps it is to take care of the player's living habits, or because of the baron's kindness (this is still to be discussed), the servants in the manor also have lunch.The two went back to the bedroom first, and were smoked out by the room full of smoke, then went to the kitchen, brought their own lunch and ate while waiting for the golden retriever to appear.

After waiting for more than an hour, there was no sign of the golden retriever.

Although he didn't want to think that way, the Golden Retriever might have had an accident.

……

"Hello, do you know where the new blond groom is?"

The groom shook his head: "I don't know, I just came back from the caravan, you should ask someone else."

Shen Maomao said thank you, and was not discouraged. He continued to search in the stables, and asked everyone he met, "Do you know what the new blond haired groom is doing?"

After asking around, someone finally answered: "That kid? He took a horse to the farm and hasn't come back yet. The other horses will starve to death. When he comes back to take care of things, he will definitely use the whip." Smack him!"

Shen Maomao is not in the mood to care whether the golden retriever can be drawn after returning, and whether the human can come back is not certain.

Lou Jingmo comforted her: "Don't panic, let's go out to find him. I have formed a team with him. If something happens to him, I can sense it here."

Even after she said that, Shen Maomao was still flustered.

Lou Jingmo asked the groom about the specific location of the farm, and without much hesitation, he took her out of the manor directly.

Compared with the environment in the manor, the outside world is extremely dirty and messy.

Shen Maomao took Lou Jingmo's hand, looked at the men and women passing by him without looking sideways, always felt that compared with when he came, the outside environment seemed to have undergone some slight changes.

There was an indescribably unpleasant smell in the air, as if something was moldy and rotting alone in a corner where the sun couldn't shine...

Passing through the low and dark buildings, a stone bridge appeared in front of their eyes.

Horse-drawn carriages coming and going on the bridge, pedestrians in a hurry, and guards patrolling with guns; under the bridge is stinky dirty water, greenish yellow in color, with invisible animals floating on it Corpses, flies fluttering.

People don't take this situation seriously at all, and even take it for granted that they don't need to cover their noses when walking on it.

Shen Maomao couldn't do it, she wished she could grow two more hands and use them to cover her nose.

"I rely on this taste to be really authentic!" She said in a muffled voice, "It's just such an environment, it's no wonder there is no plague."

Lou Jingmo put her left index finger in front of her nostril and walked forward without saying a word. After leaving the bridge and the river behind, she took a deep breath and said, "Although you couldn't smell the smell just now, but Because you open your mouth to breathe and talk, bad smell, virus and bacteria enter your body directly from your mouth."

Shen Maomao: "..." There was no fluctuation in his heart, and he even felt a little nauseous.

After crossing the bridge, you have to walk up the mountain along the path. After a short walk, you saw the baron's farm.

The gate of the farm is locked, and there are no guards in front of the gate.There was a horse standing inside the iron gate, and at the foot of the horse, a man with blond hair was closing his eyes tightly, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Shen Maomao ran to the door in a few steps, and just about to call out the golden retriever's name, Lou Jingmo covered his mouth again: "Woo?"

Lou Jingmo whispered in her ear: "Don't startle the snake."

After finishing speaking, she grabbed the railing of the gate of the ranch, stepped on the wrought iron patterns on it, and climbed to the top with three steps.

There was a row of sharp corners on the door that acted as anti-theft. Shen Maomao watched in horror as Lou Jingmo lifted his long legs, and the dangerous area passed by the sharp corners at low altitude, and breathed a sigh of relief.

If you accidentally make a mistake in this operation, it will be the scene of the unbearable pain of life.

Lou Jingmo, who landed safely, clapped his hands, and stopped Shen Maomao, who also wanted to climb over: "You stay outside in case you need it. If you are bored, you can study this door and see if it can be opened from the outside. "
