Chapter 45

A strange thing happened last night. There was a knock on the door in the middle of the night. Obviously, the family rule is that you are not allowed to wander outside at night. How could there be a knock on the door suddenly?It can't be the people who work in this house. I heard that the young master didn't leave the room after lunch, so it can't be the young master.Some people said that they seemed to hear Shunzhou's voice, shouting in the corridor, and they didn't know what they were shouting, but this didn't seem like something a serious Shunzhou would do, and it was just a strange thing.

Xiaoyan woke up this morning and heard people around her talking about this strange thing.

"Oh, did you hear that last night?"

"I heard that, why is there a knock on the door in the middle of the night? Could it be the room on the second floor that is locked all the year round?"

The one on the second floor?When Xiaoyan heard that the room on the second floor was mentioned, she couldn't help getting closer.She has been here for two years and does some chores on a daily basis. Apart from that, she knows nothing about this family.Due to the weird incident last night, everyone who usually kept their mouths tight couldn't hold back.

"Second floor? Don't scare me."

"What's wrong on the second floor?" Xiaoyan came up.

The two people who were talking shut their mouths when they saw Xiaoyan who had just been here for a few years.

"No, nothing."

Xiaoyan pouted angrily, "If you don't bring me like this, why don't you take me with you every time you chat, are you deliberately crowding me out?"

"No." Seeing that Xiaoyan was angry and there was no one around, they could only tell Xiaoyan, "It's because that room is a taboo in this family, but we don't know exactly what happened. The owner of that room is dead, think about the sound of knocking on the door in the middle of the night last night, not that the owner of the room came back."

Xiaoyan got goose bumps when she heard it, and the other one went on to say, "I also heard..."

Although she was a little scared, she still couldn't stop her curiosity. Xiaoyan pricked up her ears and was about to listen, but was interrupted by Aunt Ma in the kitchen.

"Ahem. What are you doing all together?"

As soon as it was Aunt Ma, everyone shut their mouths and said "nothing" before they dispersed.

"Little Yan!"

As soon as she was called, Xiaoyan froze, and the two people around her gave her a sympathetic look, and then quickly left.

No way, why did you call me?I don't usually have any holidays with her, and I'm polite to her. It's not because I just said that I'm using someone who is not very experienced to make an example of others, right?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, thinking about bad luck in her heart, but she didn't dare to show any emotion on her face, she calmly turned around, lowered her head with her hands folded, as if listening to orders quietly.

"Shunzhou is calling you."

Xiaoyan wailed in her heart, didn't she, she had already reported it to Shunzhou?Doesn't he have no good fruit to eat?

"He asked you to go to the second floor to find the old lady's wheelchair and give it to the guests."

"What?" Xiaoyan was surprised, didn't she teach herself a lesson?

"You girl, you are too young to be deaf. I told you to go to the second floor to look for the wheelchair that the old lady used before. Shunzhou said that one of the new guests seems to have a handicap, so let's borrow them first. .”

Xiaoyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be like this, it's not just about finding trouble with herself.Immediately, even Aunt Ma in front of her felt friendly, and stepped forward to hook Aunt Ma's arm, "Auntie, I don't often go to the second floor, please show me the way."

Aunt Ma saw that she behaved intimately with her, and heard her accent was kind, so she asked her, "Where are you from?"

"I came from a small town on the edge of Ningsu."

"Oh, that counts as fellow countrymen with me." Aunt Ma seldom talks to people, except for her own avoidance, and because everyone has privately said that the young master doesn't like her as an old thing.Now there is someone who is close to her and is from her hometown, she can't help talking more, "I think it's been a long time since I came out, and I haven't been back for a long time."

"Yes." Xiaoyan sighed, "Although the family is poor, there are many acquaintances. Although the place is rich, everyone is not very acquainted. It is too far away from home. It seems that there are very few people from Ningsu in Jiangcheng. "

"I don't know, the old lady is also from Ningsu."

When Xiaoyan heard about this for the first time, she was a little surprised, "So is the old lady? Then the young master is considered half of Ningsu?"

As soon as the young master was mentioned, Aunt Ma's face collapsed again. She knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately changed the subject, "By the way, what did you guys talk about just now?"

Xiaoyan was still a little hesitant to tell Aunt Ma, fearing that she would turn around and talk to Shunzhou after talking about Aunt Ma.Aunt Ma spoke first to dispel her doubts, "Don't worry, I won't say anything. I'm just chatting with you."

With Aunt Ma's assurance, Xiaoyan immediately felt relieved, "Oh, we were talking about the knock on the door in the middle of the night last night. They said it might have come from the locked room on the second floor."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Ma's face immediately changed. Seeing her face change suddenly, Xiaoyan let go of her arm, and shouted worriedly, "Auntie? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. Where's Shunzhou? Where is Shunzhou?"

Seeing that she was anxious to find Xiaoyan Shunzhou, "Auntie, did you agree to make a small report with Shunzhou?"

"No, I'm not reporting you to him, I'm just talking to him about something."

Xiaoyan asked half-believingly, "Really?"

"real."

After getting an affirmative answer from Aunt Ma, she just said, "I don't know where Shunzhou is, you are the one who passed on his message to me. But at this point, I reckon he is serving the young master for morning tea in the young master's room." .”

Aunt Ma's eyes dimmed, "That's right. He should be following the young master now."

Someone came over to call Aunt Ma again, asking her to go to the kitchen to prepare the old lady's breakfast. In this house, the old lady cooked, delivered, and fed the meal herself. Hey, she doesn't even eat.In the past, Xiaoyan felt strange, but now she has figured it out a bit. It turns out that everyone is from the same village.

Aunt Ma was called away, and before she left, she pointed out the direction of the room where the wheelchair was stored for Xiaoyan. I will go to Heshunzhou to make my own small report.

But having said that, Aunt Ma usually doesn't talk to anyone, she just asks Shunzhou if she has something to do, so is Shunzhou also a fellow villager with them?Shouldn't it be?She remembered hearing that Shunzhou was an orphan raised by the Yue family.So what's the matter with Aunt Ma avoiding the young master and talking to Shunzhou all the time?She privately felt that the young master was easier to talk to than Shunzhou.

Xiaoyan thought all the way to the storage room and found the wheelchair. After taking out the wheelchair, she wanted to go downstairs again. However, because she seldom came up to the second floor, the first time she came up, it was quite novel. Take a good look at the second floor.Compared with the simplicity of the first floor, more stone carvings and oil paintings are placed in the corridors on the second floor.

Xiaoyan is not interested in oil painting, but she stopped for a while when she passed the stone carvings. She remembered what happened to the young master when she first came to wipe the big plaster statue in the garden, and remembered how young she was when she first came. How young, she couldn't help laughing out loud for herself at the time.

Someone behind her suddenly asked her, "What are you laughing at?"

Xiaoyan was startled, turned around and saw that it was more gentle, and took two steps back, almost knocking the stone sculpture on the European-style high table to the ground.Fortunately, Yue Hefeng quickly supported him.

"I'm sorry, young master, Shunzhou asked me to come up and find a wheelchair for the guests."

"Oh, a wheelchair." Yue Hefeng glanced at the wheelchair in Xiaoyan's hand, "By the way, where are the others in Shunzhou?"

"Ok?"

How do you ask me this?It stands to reason that Shunzhou should follow the young master at this time.Xiaoyan murmured in her heart, looked at Yue Hefeng and shook her head to express that she didn't know.

"You didn't see him today?"

Xiaoyan nodded, "Well, yes..." Thinking of the rumor that the young master doesn't like Aunt Ma, Xiaoyan didn't mention Aunt Ma after thinking about it, "If he asked someone else to bring it, let me find a wheelchair."

"Then did you see him yesterday?"

"Yes, he asked me to tell the guests yesterday that they are not allowed to stay in other people's rooms at night."

Yue Hefeng frowned, "Why don't I know this rule?"

"Young Master, don't you know? When I passed by downstairs yesterday, I saw Shunzhou standing outside the door of the guest's room, the one with the handicap. He was startled when he saw me, and then he left, but halfway through he walked away again." Come back and let me convey this new rule."

Yue Hefeng walked to the railing and looked at the opposite room, "Then do you know what he is looking at outside the door of the guest room?"

He must have seen something, that's why he was so abnormal last night. Yue Hefeng saw it, and saw Shunzhou retching in front of that room door. After so many years, is it still a reaction?I thought he was always so expressionless because he had lost the feeling long ago, but it seems not, so what did he see that reminded him of the past?

"I do not know."

Xiaoyan felt a little strange, what kind of brow did she touch today, why did she ask herself one or two?

"Is that so." Yue Hefeng pondered for a while, Xiaoyan struggled to carry the wheelchair, and did not dare to put the wheelchair on the carpet in front of Yue Hefeng, so she only carefully asked tentatively, "Then can I go, young master?"

"Well. Help me tell the guests that I'm not feeling well today and I can't accompany them for dinner, but if you have any inconvenience, you can come to me directly."

"Okay, got it."

Yue Hefeng left after giving orders, Xiaoyan was still standing there watching him, suddenly Yue Hefeng turned back to look at Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan was a little at a loss when he turned back suddenly.

Looking at the panicked little girl, Yue Hefeng smiled and asked, "What are you afraid of, I can still eat you?"

"No..." Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed when she was caught straight. She heard the young master ask her, "I just remembered what I asked you at the beginning. You haven't answered yet. What were you laughing at?"

"Huh?" Why did you turn around specially for this?Xiaoyan twisted her body in embarrassment, "Looking at this small stone sculpture, I thought of the big plaster statue in the garden. I just came here, and I was ordered to polish the plaster statue, so I bumped into you, young master."

"Me?" This Yue Hefeng didn't remember, "Is it funny to bump into me?"

"No, no." Xiaoyan shook her head again and again, and hurriedly explained, "I bumped into you at the time, and you didn't blame me for punishing me, but I thought you were a nice person, young master, not as I heard... ah! "Realizing that she was talking bald, Xiaoyan immediately shut her mouth tightly.

But seeing Yue Hefeng's indifferent expression, it seemed that he didn't hear, he just asked Xiaoyan, "What's your name?"

"Little Yan."

"En." After Yue Hefeng nodded, he turned and left. It was the first time someone said that he seemed like a good person.

Xiaoyan let out a sigh of relief seeing that the person had really left and made sure that he would not go back again. Although she felt that the young master was a good person in her heart, she was a superior after all, so it was a bit stressful to talk face to face.Xiao Yanshu doesn't read much, she is a pragmatic girl, she never had those unrealistic fantasies, she deserted at work, and was caught by her superiors, under such a stately situation, where can she have any thoughts?

However, after comparison, I still feel that only Pei Ling is the kindest person, and he will consider her situation for her, so there is no pressure at all to get along with him.Thinking of Pei Ling, Xiaoyan suddenly became energetic again, and had to send the wheelchair there quickly.Then find an excuse to find him in Pei Ling's room.

However, the trip to deliver the wheelchair saved her an excuse, and she saw Pei Ling as soon as she entered the room, "Brother Pei, why did you come to this room so early?"

Xiaoyan blurted out this sentence entirely out of excitement when she saw Pei Ling when she entered the door, but this sentence made Pei Ling feel a little embarrassed.

"Oh, I woke up early, and he's not in good health. I'm worried and want to come and see him sooner."

Pei Ling didn't wake up early, he didn't sleep at all after waking up last night, he watched Sai Tianxian all night, and when it was almost dawn and no one was around, he hurriedly carried him back to his room.

Carry him back to the room and settle him down. The two hot water bottles beside him were still warm, but Pei Ling kept them aside for him. Sai Tianxian didn't know what was wrong, his body was always cold, and he obviously gave him some air yesterday. The night didn't pass, and the man's body gradually became cold again.

Pei Ling touched his hand, feeling his body temperature with the palm of his hand. After a while, the hot water bottle became cold, and Sai Tianxian's hand was as cold as ice.Pei Ling stroked his hands anxiously, looked up and looked at his complexion, his complexion also changed a lot, his lips turned purple, they looked better when they were not red, and when he finished kissing himself, the small water red mouth, How touching.

Pooh!Pei Ling scolded herself hard in her heart, never thinking about what color her lips look good on!After pissing herself off in her heart, Pei Ling looked at Sai Tianxian with purple lips and thought, shouldn't he have to take his breath away?Thinking of what happened yesterday, Pei Ling was still a little awkward, but seeing Sai Tianxian's face, he felt that the most urgent thing was to make him recover. Besides, he didn't even know how many times he had kissed, so what kind of man is he when he is awkward now? ?

Having made up her mind, Pei Ling took a deep breath and closed her eyes, leaned over and planned to give Sai Tianxian a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, Xiaoyan came in at this time, luckily Pei Ling responded Quickly, he opened his eyes and pretended to shake the quilt, then turned his head and smiled at Xiaoyan and said good morning.

"Brother Pei, you don't even know what luck I've had today. When someone asked me a question, my heart skipped a beat." Xiaoyan complained to Pei Ling who came to help take away the wheelchair.

Pei Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he was almost bumped into. He asked Xiaoyan calmly, "What are you asking?"

"It's just that there was a knock on the door in the middle of the night last night. I also met the young master when I was taking the wheelchair. The young master asked me about Shunzhou."

Pei Ling's heart skipped a beat. These two incidents seem to have something to do with them.
