Dream Hall

"Take a break."

Qiu Di looked at the fluffy big bed and said.

Lin Mu looked at Qiudi, and she understood Qiudi's meaning in the next moment. She just lay down on the bed like this. Even though the temperature here was not high, she didn't lift the quilt.

Qiu Di turned off the light and lay down next to Lin Mu.

Click, click.

The not very bright yellow light in the corridor shines in through the crack of the door. In the dark, that light is very conspicuous.

Both of them breathed very lightly, so the sound of the leather shoes outside the door walking on the tiles was infinitely amplified.

The sound of footsteps from far to near stopped from time to time.

Lin Mu counted carefully.

One, two, three... eighteen, stop.

One, two... eighteen, stop.

This is regular to a steady pace.What is he doing?

Lin Mu didn't need to bother to think about it, because the walking master stopped in front of their door.

one two Three……

Lin Muxin raised it abruptly.

He only stopped in front of others for three seconds, but he never left in front of their door.

Finally, after half a minute, the footsteps sounded again.

Then, they heard the door next door being opened and closed again.

When Lin Mu was looking at the autumn flute just now, he heard the sound of the iron gate of the yard opening.

Although I don't know who Greer opened the door to welcome in, but there is an unknown thing in this old house, and it is best for them not to attract the attention of anyone or anything.

The old house was as quiet as if no one lived in it, and the sound of the wind outside the window was like the dubbing of a horror movie, inexplicably chilling people's hearts.

Immediately, the pendulum clock rang in the old house.

Lin Mu looked sideways at Qiudi.

Qiu Di also sat up.Lin Mu got out of bed silently. She stepped on the thick carpet and felt something changed.

Qiu Di said softly: "Wind."

Lin Mu suddenly realized that it was the wind, and she couldn't hear the wind anymore.

If the wind stops why?It was because the wind stopped, but how could the wind stop?It's because time stopped.

Yes, their time stopped.

Lin Mu turned around, looked at himself lying on the bed, and at the autumn flute lying beside him, and smiled slightly. It seemed that this was their privilege.her night.

Lin Mu pressed his hands on the door panel, and after a little force, he found that he didn't go through directly like in the movie, so he had to open the door honestly and go out sideways.

The light in the corridor was a little darker than before, Qiu Di raised his chin in the direction of the living room, and the two came to the living room just like that.There was still a fire burning in the fireplace in the living room, and the warm light of the fire fell on the furniture.What they looked at was the two-meter-high pendulum clock.

The time indicated on the pendulum clock was 11:30.The second hand was still ticking.

The sound just now was twelve o'clock, but the pendulum clock has now changed to 11:30, which means that they only have half an hour.

Lin Mu said, "I want to go and have a look in the yard."

Qiu Di nodded, fully agreeing to Lin Mu's request.

The two walked to the entrance and found a transparent glass bottle on the shoe cabinet there.

And the glass bottle contains sparkling water and a delicate rose.

Lin Mu felt strange.

Such a beautiful rose can be seen to be picked in the yard outside, but according to Greer's care for the roses planted by his wife, he would never be willing to pick such a rose.

Or, is it because the people who come love roses?

His wife?

……

When the two came to the yard, the scarecrow had returned to its original position, facing a yard of roses.

Lin Mu looked at those roses and felt weird.

Qiu Di had already stepped up to the rose bush on the right, she lowered her eyes for a while, and then waved to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu walked over, stood beside Qiudi, looked at it for a while, and gradually frowned.

The rose bushes in that cluster were a little shorter and messier than the others, and it was hard to notice unless you looked carefully.

In fact, this is nothing.

But Lin Mu saw a small amount of red marks on the leaves of the rose bush, and the bright red liquid could be seen as blood.

Lin Mu turned his head and looked at Qiudi, just about to speak, but suddenly his eyes widened!

Qiu Di quickly turned around.

I saw a graceful woman in a gorgeous dress watching them not far outside the yard!

The woman tilted her head with a smile, her red lips opened and closed.

What she said was: "Rose, maiden."

clang--

She is the dreamer!

In just four words, after the woman finished speaking, black mist quickly surrounded her.Qiu Di grabbed Lin Mu's wrist and quickly dragged him back to the old house.

The door was closed before the black mist spread into the house.

"The rose is withered," said Chichipi.

Lin Mu cast his gaze over, and sure enough, the roses on the shoe cabinet had withered.

It stands to reason that they didn't spend much time, and the roses couldn't have withered like this in just 10 minutes.

Rose?girl?What is the relationship between these two things?

Lin Mu couldn't figure out why, but felt that this ancient house was full of doubts.

Qiudi suddenly approached Lin Mu and pulled her into her arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lin Mu was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that he was trembling when he was thinking about these things just now.She patted Qiudi's back with a smile, and said duplicity: "No, I'm not afraid."

Qiu Di couldn't deny it: "It doesn't matter even if you are afraid."

Lin Mu casually nodded twice, and suggested, "Go upstairs and have a look?"

This is an ancient house with three floors, and there may be a cellar, but they can't find a way to enter the cellar for the time being.

When going up the stairs, Lin Mu realized that there are roses everywhere in this ancient house.

On the walls of the stairs and the corridor on the second floor, there are all kinds of paintings of roses.

Lin Mu opened several rooms and found that they were all guest rooms, which were similar to the rooms they lived in, except that there was a painting of roses on the wall.

Qiudi opened the door at the other end, and she stopped in front of the last room with an unnatural voice: "...Ah Mu, come here."

Lin Mu immediately ran over.

The sight startled her.

This is actually a five-sided transparent room. When you enter the room, you can directly see the scene in the room downstairs through the floor.Sure enough, Greer was sleeping next to them.

Greer was lying on the bed at this moment, facing them on his back. If he hadn't closed his eyes, such a scene would really make people a little nervous.

And there are many paintings in this absolutely transparent room, and there are also drawing boards needed for painting...

This is indeed a good place to draw pictures, and the beautiful scenery in the yard can be seen.

Lin Mu raised his head and looked at the room upstairs. That room looked much more refined than the other rooms, and it should be the lady's bedroom.

I saw an envelope stuck under the wide bed.

Qiu Di followed Lin Mu when he raised his head and saw the envelope.The two left the studio and ran up to the third floor.

Lin Mu pushed open the bedroom door, only to find that the floor of this bedroom was a mirror, that is to say, this room could not see the scene of the studio downstairs.

Lin Mu couldn't help thinking, then, is the ceiling of Greer's room on the first floor also a mirror?

Qiu Di took out the envelope from under the bed.

There is a rose gold stamping in the middle of this envelope, the envelope is a bit old, but the gold stamping on it is still so shining.

If you want to open the envelope, you will inevitably have to destroy the bronzing. Qiudi opened the envelope without hesitation.

Lin Mu leaned over and looked at it together.

Dear Mr. Chuannan:

Mr. Chuannan, I'm Lilia. It's been a long time since I saw you. My love for you is getting stronger every day. I don't know if you miss me as much as I miss you.If so, I am willing to die.

Dai Wei has recently started planting roses again, but those roses are not blooming as expected.

I've dried some of the best roses I've ever bloomed, and I'm going to give it to you as a present.

Mr. Chuannan, I look forward to our next meeting. At that time, I will take you to see our starry sky. It is really beautiful.

Love you Lilia.

1894 6 Month 12 Day.

Lin Mu smacked his lips. It seems that the tall hat on the head of their gentleman Mr. Greer is green.

Qiudi said objectively: "First of all, the three of them know each other. Chuannan probably doesn't like Lilia, and Lilia may also admire him as an idol."

Lin Mu repeated: "Idol."

Then she looked at Qiudi, smiled and shook her head: "Adi, you have to understand that in that era, it was impossible for a married woman to have such words for idols. So, she likes Chuannan."

Qiudi nodded thoughtfully, sealed the envelope, and stuck it back under the bed again.

After calculating that the time was almost up, the two closed the door and returned to their room.

Sure enough, the clock rang within two minutes of the two lying down.

The two stopped talking, closed their eyes and pretended to sleep.

Lin Mu sorted out the news he got in his heart.

Who was that woman in dress they met in the yard?Could it be that Lilia?So what is the relationship between the rose she said and the maiden?Did Greer know about Lilia's friendship with other men?

A thought flashed through Lin Mu's mind.

Could it be love killing?

……

The sky suddenly dawned.Everyone opened the door and left the bedroom.

Greer was already standing at the beginning of the corridor, waiting for them with a smile.

Greer asked, "Did everyone sleep well last night?"

Everyone nodded perfunctorily, only Lin Mu kept staring at Greer's face, trying to find some subtle expression on his face, but Greer's smile was so impeccable, Lin Mu had to give up temporarily.

Qiu Di said: "He has a pocket watch."

Lin Mu was reminded by Qiudi and quickly realized that in that era, pocket watches were almost always made with a clock and a photo.

Greer loved Lilia so much, so there should be a photo of Lilia in his pocket watch.

As long as you see Lilia's photo, don't you know if that woman is Lilia last night?

So as soon as he was seated, Lin Mu went straight in and said, "Mr. Greer, you seem to have a very beautiful pocket watch?"

Greer took out a pocket watch from his pocket. The surface of the pocket watch did have many winding patterns, which looked very delicate.

"Oh dear, is that what you mean?"

Lin Mu's eyes lit up, he nodded, and then pretended to be a little shy and said: "I like watches very much, can you lend me a look? Friendly Mr. Greer."

Everyone's eyes were on the two of them, and some people even thought that Lin Mu was too eye-catching.

Greer smiled and handed the pocket watch to the maid beside him, and the maid quickly handed the pocket watch to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu didn't care about other people's gazes, he pretended to look at the pocket watch for a while, and then pressed the protruding button, and the pocket watch popped open.

Lin Mu saw the beautiful woman inside at a glance, and that was the woman from last night!
