I woke up in the middle of the night with a sudden urgency to urinate.After going to the toilet, I met the drug seller again, and it took another period of time to see Fei Touman.So I didn't have to wait too long, and it was dawn, and the sound of "dong dong" knocking outside gradually stopped.

But I was extremely afraid of the scene where I thought the ghost had already left when I just opened the door and was killed instantly. I hesitated for a while, and was about to ask the drug seller, but I saw him stand up and open the door.The talisman paper that had been pasted on the door disappeared at some point, and even the scales spinning around disappeared.

"Then I'll go first." The drug seller left after saying a word.

I looked at his leaving back and blinked blankly.Then I came to my senses and hurried out of the room.Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out, she saw Sayuri who had appeared in the distance at some point.

From a distance, Sayuri's eyes met mine.

My whole body trembled, Sayuri showed a somewhat dazed expression, then she narrowed her eyes, and walked towards me aggressively as if she had decided something.

I couldn't help but took a step back, but was grabbed by Sayuri who rushed over. She said, "At first I wondered why the drug seller would appear here. This empty room should be the study of the young master, except for the space between him and the master." No one from outside is allowed to enter...I didn't expect you to appear inside."

I secretly had a bad feeling in my heart, thinking that she was going to speculate on my relationship with the drug seller, but I didn't expect the problem to be more serious than this.

"Are you going to steal something from Tsushima's house?" Sayuri asked seriously.

"An outsider and a maid from a rich family gather in the study of the next heir. No matter how you look at it, they are plotting something bad, right?" Sayuri looked at me coldly, and said, "Although I am a fickle Woman, but the Tsushima family has given me a place to live anyway, if something happens here, I will be very troubled."

Saying so, Sayuri turned around and was about to walk towards the main house, she said, "I want to tell the master about this."

I never thought that things would develop to this point. I thought the worst thing would be to be gossiped. I didn’t expect to be accused of cooperating with outsiders and stealing from Tsushima’s house. I grabbed Sayuri’s wrist , anxiously shouted: "Things are not what you think! Sayuri! How could I do that! For me, Tsushima's house also gave me a place to live."

Sayuri narrowed her eyes, as if she was carefully observing my expression.After a while, Sayuri suddenly showed a relaxed expression, and she said, "That's right, Sachiko, you don't seem like someone who would do such a thing. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

Seeing her say this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I heard Sayuri say: "But if this is the case, why did you come out of the same room with that drug seller? It doesn't look like you only stayed for a while .”

The figure of the Flying Man I saw last night flashed in my mind, which made me hesitate to tell Sayuri about what happened last night.

But I suddenly realized that since Master Xiuzhi is always hiding at night, it also means Flying Headman—or there are other ghosts who are always chasing him when night comes, so it is impossible for others to move at all Can't hear you?

Judging by Flying Touman's appearance last night, it doesn't look like a harmless monster either.At least in the beginning, when it saw me and the drug seller, it just ran after us.When I pronounced the name of Master Xiuzhi, I looked like I would never stop until we were killed.Oh, in retrospect, that was really a terrible thing, and I don't know what I had to eat to dare to speak back.

The topic is a bit off topic.To sum it up: Why didn't Sayuri and the others show the slightest sign when I, a servant who just came here not long ago, found out about Flying Touman?

I'm not the only one who met by chance, right?Looking at Fei Touman's look of searching everywhere, it is impossible for everyone's dormitory to be spared by it.

No, if I really want to say it, I didn't notice anything wrong a few days ago.

The confusion of thoughts caused me pain, so I decided to follow my instinct and not tell Sayuri what happened last night.

I said: "I happened to meet Mr. Yaolang when I got up in the middle of the night yesterday. We chatted for a while, but I didn't expect that a big beast suddenly appeared. I didn't know if it was a dog or something. It scared me a lot. I said I hid in that room with Mr. Yaolang. That thing didn’t leave until dawn, it really scared me to death.” I patted my chest with lingering fear.

"How could such a thing appear in the Tsushima family?" Sayuri was surprised by this, but she didn't think I was someone who made fun of such things.

But the Tsushima family is a well-known wealthy family in this area. There are so many servants and security guards in the family. How could a wild animal break in?

I looked at her face and asked tentatively, "Didn't you hear anything last night?"

"What's the matter? I slept well." Said Baihe muttered puzzledly: "Could it be that you lied to me by saying these things in order to get along with a man?"

I showed a displeased expression. Seeing that I was unhappy, she quickly coaxed me in a low voice: "Hey, I'm just joking, don't be angry, don't be angry, I just believe you."

The beautiful Sayuri rubbed against me, and said in a sticky voice like a baby: "It's different from me, Sachiko won't lie."

"Apology is an apology, but don't say these words that demean yourself." I said.

Seeing my helpless expression, Sayuri waved her hand with a smile and said, "I have to clean the second young master's room, so I'll leave first. If Mrs. Kimura sees the two of us chatting together, you will be very troublesome." Bundle."

"Sayuri..." I was at a loss.

I knew that she must be able to feel my alienation and indifference during this period, but I didn't expect her to say it directly, and guessed that it was Mami-san who asked me to do it.

I didn't even think about rejecting Mami-san in the past.One is a girl of the same age I just met, and the other is a benefactor who helped me enter Tsushima's house and gave me a place to live. It is already an obvious answer to choose which one to choose.

For whatever reason, I did give up on Sayuri.

I was a little flattered that she was able to treat me with mildness under such circumstances.Thinking about it in another way, if I were facing this situation, I would have stayed away from the other party long ago, let alone talking and laughing with the other party.

Sayuri smiled, and didn't explain anything to me, she just said: "Don't stand here in a daze, go back to your room and tidy up yourself. I heard last night that Master Xiuzhi will be taken home by the housekeeper to recuperate today, you wait Surely you want to see him right away?"

Being pointed out so bluntly, I smiled a little embarrassedly, waved goodbye to Sayuri, and walked back to my room.

When I went back, I began to wash and change clothes, and organize my appearance.

I am now very sure that what I saw last night was not a dream, which probably means that what I encountered in the hospital the night before was not a dream?

The injuries on Master Xiuzhi's body are probably caused by being hunted by monsters, but why did Master Xiuzhi deliberately guide me when I woke up in the morning, making me feel like I was dreaming?

...No matter what, I have to go see Master Xiuzhi.

With that in mind, I walked towards the main house.

Since the sun in winter comes out later than in summer, it was already late when I passed by.

As soon as Mami-san saw me, she showed displeasure, and said, "You're here so late?"

It's no wonder she was angry, I came so late, maybe Mami-san thought that I dared to be lazy not long after I arrived.

If someone reads it and makes a small report with the housekeeper, let alone me, even Ms. Mami who recommended me to come to Tsushima's house as a maid will be implicated.

"I'm really sorry, Mami-san." As I said this, I repeated the excuse I just told Sayuri.

Even if it is a false lie, as long as it is told many times, the lie will become a reality, and even the person who told the lie will feel that it is the truth.I understand this deeply.

And saying that might make me appear indifferent, even though I was touched by Sayuri's actions just now, I still couldn't fully trust her.

I am a person who is easy to trust others and easy to doubt others.It's complicated, but humans are such creatures.

Like me, I always have certain doubts about other people's words, but I often fail to notice that there is something wrong with the other party.

"How could there be the kind of beast you mentioned in Tsushima's house." Miss Mami said angrily, but I noticed something was wrong from the pretended angry face.

Unlike Sayuri, as a maid who has been in Tsushima's house for several years, Ms. Asami may know something that other people don't.

Maybe I can start with her, I thought so, desperately reminding myself of the flying-headed man I saw last night, and my face turned pale because of it, I said with real fear: "Maybe it's not a beast, but a beast." Something else. It's so dark I can't see anything."

"Could it be a thief?" Mami-san asked tentatively.

"No way." I patted myself on the chest and said, "Which thief didn't run away when he saw that he was found, but chased after him? If only I, a weak woman, was there, that would be fine. Mr. Ke Yaolang is also present."

"That thing doesn't retreat but advances. It has been chasing me and Mr. Yaolang. Where have we seen this battle? We were terrified, and quickly hid in a house. That thing hasn't given up yet, it has been He kept banging on the door until it was dark and the thumping sound stopped."

Hearing this, Miss Mami's face became even paler, and she tried to calmly say: "Did you two see each other last night and did some shameful things in the room. To cover up what happened late today, I made an excuse Lied to me? I think that drug seller is extremely handsome, so it's not surprising that you would fall in love with him."

Even though she said that, Mami-san's voice still trembled a little.

"Miss Mami, is that why you don't believe me?" I lowered my head, shook my body, and covered my face to pretend to cry.

Miss Mami sighed helplessly, and said, "You were introduced by me, can I not believe you? It's just that what you said is really incredible."

"The door of the house where I was hiding last night still has impact marks. If you don't believe me, just go and have a look." I said rudely as if I was extremely angry.

Fortunately, Miss Mami didn't scold me for this. She was quiet for a while, and said, "I'll go and talk to the housekeeper later, and ask him to check the house. Maybe it's from a hole covered by grass. came in."

I responded, nodded, and said, "In this case, I can also sleep peacefully."

Miss Mami obviously didn't want to continue talking about this topic, she quickly changed the topic, and deliberately picked something that I absolutely couldn't ignore: "Speaking of which, Master Xiuzhi will be picked up later. You go Clean up his room. I'll pretend I didn't see it when I was late for work."

"Thank you Mami-san!" I said happily to her, hurriedly picked up the broom that was lying on the side, and ran directly to Master Xiuzhi's room.

I opened the door of Master Xiuzhi's room, and subconsciously called out: "I'm coming in."

There was no one in the room—of course, Master Xiuzhi was probably still in the hospital at this time.But the housekeeper will take him home to recuperate later, and I have to clean his room before he comes back.

It doesn't seem accurate to say cleaning, because Master Xiuzhi's room is very clean—or overly clean.

When it comes to a child's room, what do most people think of?Bed toys?Books of fairy tales lying cluttered on the desk?Random stuff?

Unfortunately, none of these things are available.

I am not a person who is good at observing changes, but I am a person who spends a long time looking for a hair rope that I don't know where to throw it.The observation of a small area may be more acute, but I can only stare at one or two small areas to find the difference. Once the area becomes large, I will feel dizzy.

In addition, when I came here last time, all my attention was on the sick young master Xiuzhi, and I didn't take a good look at the appearance of the room for a while.

At this time, I was finally able to take a good look at Master Xiuzhi's room, but I was shocked by the wordless loneliness inside.

If I had to express my shock, it would be - is this really an eight-year-old's room?

There were so few things in the room, it was almost empty, there were no toys or fairy tale books, but there were some books on the bookcase, but upon closer inspection, those books were all difficult and complicated learning tools.

I dare say that even the mean and serious old butler's room would not be like Master Xiuzhi.

Last time, because there were a lot of people in the room, let alone deserted, it was so lively that I wanted to drive people away, so I couldn't see the loneliness in the room.But when the room became empty, the kind of loneliness almost drowned my consciousness.

Would the child feel lonely in such a house, or rather in such a world?

I stopped holding the broom, sighed deeply, and started to clean the house.

About 10 minutes passed, and I felt a little back pain after bending over frequently, so I couldn't help supporting the broom and standing up against the wall.

Suddenly, I saw the wardrobe in the corner, and suddenly thought that the place hadn't been cleaned.Although according to Master Xiuzhi's temperament, it is unlikely that such a particularly messy closet will appear, but you still have to take a look.

I rubbed my waist and walked to the closet.The closet smelled of wood, so I reached out and opened it.

There are a few pieces of clothing neatly placed inside, all made of very good materials, the only thing that is relatively poor is the school uniform.But at the same time, these clothes are either black or dark blue, and they all look relatively dull.The only thing that is brightly colored is the school uniform.

I stared at the energetic and childish school uniform, my eyes softened, and my actions became presumptuous, even reaching out to touch the school uniform.

I was startled by the cold touch of my fingertips, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that my actions were a little rude, so I withdrew my hand as if touching a hot flame.But this action also caused the school uniform to sway slightly, revealing the hidden things behind the clothes.

I didn't see what it was, so I wondered if it was a mouse hiding in the closet?I hesitated for a while, then stretched out my hand to push aside the school uniform, and fixed my eyes on the things hidden in the closet.

When that thing caught my eyes, I was stunned.

—It was a paintbrush.

The small, ordinary brushes that can be seen everywhere in the store are hidden in the closet like the most precious treasure, hidden behind the school uniform.

The author has something to say: Congratulations to the player [Sachiko] for obtaining an important item [a paintbrush].

Item details: [a paintbrush]——a cheap paintbrush that can be seen everywhere is almost at the end of its lifespan, and it can be seen that the owner cherishes it very much.It represents the pure and fragile dreams of children.
