After the five people went out, they scattered and ran away.The man stood on the spot with a low growl, and chased in He Yingying's direction without hesitation. It seemed that even in this state, he could clearly recognize the person who was connected with his blood.

Yu Jin reached out to grab Ding He's wrist, but Ding He grabbed his hand instead, and was dragged to hide in the nearby kitchen.

Ding He leaned his back against the door, wrapped his hands around him in his arms, and the steady breathing sound lingered in his ears.

Yu Jin heard that her heartbeat was faster and louder than usual, but Ding He's heartbeat was still as gentle and powerful as usual.

The man followed He Yingying's footsteps away, the roar and heavy footsteps became smaller and smaller, Yu Jin felt her heartbeat gradually calm down, and only then did she notice the sound of chopping vegetables behind her.

To be precise, it is the sound of chopping ribs. The interval between each chopping sound is very long, like a vegetable chopping person. Into the chopping board, to chop the tough piece of ribs.But the intervals were regular, and the chef never seemed overly annoyed by failure.

He looked back, and in front of him was a woman with her back to them, wearing an apron, whose age could not be seen because her back was to them.But from the slender limbs and straight back, it can be seen that she is not very old.

She was standing in front of the table, with an oil lamp next to it, and the stove on the other side. She was cooking something, and a smell of meat wafted from it.She raised her hands above her head, her fingers tightly wrapped around the handle of the knife.Her arm fell straight down, and the blade made a sound when it was inserted into the chopping board. She stretched her arm straight again, and pulled out the knife abruptly.The light reflects her stiff and decisive movements, like a marionette controlled by silk threads.

"you……"

Just as Ding He was about to talk to her, she turned around stiffly, holding a kitchen knife in her right hand, with both arms hanging down beside the trouser line.

She was only in her teens, her complexion was pale, she stared at the two with dull eyes, her mouth made exaggerated movements, and said word by word: "Who are you?"

Ding He said: "We are the master who came to help you."

"Help me?" She slowly raised the corners of her mouth, "Liar, you are here to replace me."

"The master knows that I have spilled the medicine and wants to fire me."

"I can't lose this job, I don't want to go home like this."

She suddenly raised the kitchen knife in her hand, the corners of her mouth curled up, and said slowly: "I want to tell the master that you spilled the medicine, and I just helped the master get rid of you."

"We won't report on you, but the master hired us because we have a lot of work to do recently. What kind of medicine did you sprinkle, maybe we can help you." Ding He tried his best to stabilize her mood, and said to her approaching, wanting to show their friendliness.

"Really?" The maid did not put down the kitchen knife, but continued to step forward, approaching them step by step, "You guys, will you help me?"

Ding He nodded without changing his expression.

"I'm about to prepare supper for the young lady. I just missed a sauce. This bowl is no longer fresh." She picked up a small bowl on the table, took a deep breath, and mechanically licked the corners of her mouth. The strong smell of blood Immediately filled the entire space.

"Since you are so kind," the maid laughed strangely, "use your blood to help me!"

"Of course not, why should we help you?" Yu Jin twitched his lips slightly mockingly, "At first we didn't know, but now we have your handle, you should be begging us to help you. Let me take a guess, what you spilled was medicine for Miss, right?"

The maid's originally dull eyes seemed to ignite anger in an instant, and the arc of her mouth changed from upward to downward, and her tone of voice added a bit of oppression: "No! I didn't spill the medicine for Miss!"

"Who else do you want to lie to now?" Yu Jin sneered casually, "Master told you to prepare the medicine for the young lady, and you spilled it and kept it from the master. You don't even think about it, you don't even think about it. If you can't do a little thing well, how can the master keep you here?"

"Impossible. The master said that he would keep hiring me and give me a higher salary, as long as I can do this well."

"Even you know it's impossible. You're worried that he's trying to replace you, aren't you?"

"No." The maid squeezed out these words almost through gritted teeth, "If I kill you, I still have a chance. Yes, you did everything, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Do you think you can do it?" Yu Jin stood by the door, his dark eyes revealing an arrogant look.The maid's joints made a "click" sound, and there was a similar sound of being stuck in her throat, and she rushed towards Yu Jin in a strange and uncoordinated posture.

But when her attention was completely focused on Yu Jin, Ding He had already circled behind her, picked up the oil lamp, and threw it behind her.

The maid let out a scream, and a flame ignited on her body, and her whole body quickly turned black in the flames, and a strange pungent smell began to fill the air.

The maid rolled on the ground, crying out in pain.She seemed to be ruthless and wanted to rush towards Yu Jin, but was restrained by an invisible force.About 1 minute later, the maid stopped moving, and the flame gradually extinguished, leaving a puddle of inhuman black powder on the ground.

Ding He wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and hurried to Yu Jin's side: "Are you all right?"

Yu Jin let out a sigh of relief: "I'm fine. She didn't seem to be able to jump over just now." In fact, he retreated to the door with his whole body, and made a plan to wait for the maid to rush over and turn outside. The servant's behavior seemed to be restrained by a force.In fact, as soon as he and Ding He saw the maid, they didn't have any hope that the other party would cooperate. They just wanted to split up. Ding He lowered her vigilance, while Yu Jin attracted her attention, and Ding He looked for it The opportunity to sneak attack on her is just such a cooperation, and there is no need for two people to discuss it.

Yu Jin looked at the maid's body that had turned into ashes, and asked, "What kind of existence is she, and the gardener, now? Are they the apostles summoned by that woman's wraith?"

Ding He's focus was on him, and after making sure that he was not injured, he replied slowly, "Huh? It should be."

"So why is there something that can hurt him in this place? Since the woman can control the house, she won't deliberately leave a hole. And does she want to get rid of us, or does she want us to help her find it? Corpse?"

In the darkness, Yu Jin couldn't see Ding He's expression, but could only hear his reassuring voice: "Maybe she is in conflict and doesn't know what she really wants to do."

"Then I hope she will let us go in the end." Yu Jin said slowly, and turned on the flashlight, "Let's go and see the bones she was chopping just now."

What the maid was chopping just now was a human bone, and it could be seen that it was a human abdominal bone.

And on the stove next to it, what was being cooked was the bones of the chest.

There is also a note pasted on the table, on which is written an instruction: Bring bone soup to the lady at night, don't forget to add special sauce.
