Chapter 226 The mysterious old house and the three mysterious people

There was a sound of crows, and there was a crackling sound outside the house, like thunder, but it seemed that there was no impact on the house.

"Yes, Master and Madam, this gentleman received the bouquet from the young lady."

A butler-like man approached the two people on the high seat, bowed his head and said something.

After listening to it, the two nodded slightly, their mouths were full of pits and their gums were exposed, and their faces were full of wrinkles when they smiled.

"In that case, then you should rest here for two days. We will make some arrangements. The evening after tomorrow will be a good day for the wedding ceremony."

"But....."

A voice came from behind the wheelchair. Before he finished speaking, the two people sitting on the high seat changed their expressions. A gust of cold wind suddenly blew through the room.

Jiang Zifang immediately folded his arms, shivered, and glanced around unconsciously.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Okay, old man, it's normal for them to have some thoughts, but they should be fine after staying here for a few days. Butler, take them to the wing to rest."

As he spoke, his old face was illuminated by the candlelight. His wrinkled hands held a handkerchief and waved it to everyone, then he withdrew his handkerchief.

The hunchbacked butler straightened up, stretched out his hand to the few people, and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, several people looked at each other and were about to leave when Wen Baixu, who was standing closest to them, suddenly bowed and said, "Excuse me, may I ask your maiden name?"

"Cough cough~"

An old voice sounded from in front of Wen Baixu, as if to cover up something, but not long after, the old woman's voice sounded

"We have always called her Lingshan."

"Then can I celebrate my birthday..."

"We forgot about this a long time ago, didn't we, old man?"

As she spoke, her wrinkled face looked to the side, and then she murmured, "I only remember that she was born at the time of Si, and I, an old woman, don't remember anything else."

As he spoke, he bent his fingers slightly and tapped the table twice.

"My dear friends... Madam and Master need to rest, please follow me..."

The butler-like man suddenly lowered his voice and said, turning around and walking forward.

Seeing this, the few people did not say anything else. They just looked at the dimly swaying candlelight and the two gloomy faces below, turned around and left.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master and Madam."

Wen Baixu bowed in return, then stood up and turned to the door, but the moment he turned around, the smile on his face only grew.

The cold wind howled in the old house in the middle of the night, as if invisible ghosts were shuttling between the columns, swaying the branches that had long since lost their leaves. The cries of crows came intermittently from the dead branches, like the whispers of messengers from the underworld in the night, which made people shudder.

The eaves of the old house creaked slightly in the wind, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. In the pitch-black courtyard, only the occasional sound of wind chimes and crows echoed, creating an eerie and peaceful atmosphere. The candlelight flickered in the hands of the person in front, and the faint light seemed to be the only comfort in this cold winter night.

The shadows in the candlelight distorted with the strength of the wind, as if something was lurking in the darkness, waiting for its opportunity.

On such a night, time seemed to freeze, all sounds were swallowed by the wind, and only the faint light of the candlelight proved the passage of time. The cold air in the house was pressing, the prosperity of the past was gone, and only this lonely candlelight was left, confronting the endless darkness until dawn.

The man who was walking stopped in a room and turned around. Under the candlelight, he looked extremely eerie.

"Everyone, these two rooms are where you will stay. Because we didn't know you were coming, the rooms are a little messy. Please take a rest first. I will send servants to clean up tomorrow. It's getting late, please take a rest first."

As he spoke, he handed the candle to Ling Yun who was standing at the front, bowed slightly, and walked away without looking back.

Several people turned around to look at the receding figure gradually disappearing into the darkness. The most conspicuous one among them took a steady look, turned around and pushed open a room.

"Instead of thinking so much, you might as well take a rest early. Only after a good rest can you come up with a solution. Otherwise, you won't even know when you are dragged away to be married in the afterlife."

After saying that, he walked into one of the rooms first.

"That's fine, but this place is so spooky and gloomy, it's better for us to live in one room."

"Who wants to be with you......"

Before the person behind the wheelchair could finish his words, he heard a scream from inside the house.

Everyone shouted "Oh no!" and rushed in. Ling Yun, holding the candlestick, took the lead. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the person who had originally shouted out in surprise standing still, as if looking at something.

"What are you looking at?"

Chaos passed through Lingyun for a moment, and just as he was about to touch it, he heard the person in front of him exclaiming in admiration.

"This is a truly amazing painting, just like a real person."

"what?"

Hun Dun didn't react for a moment and was about to reach out to touch it, but he suddenly realized that the thing in front of him felt like the skin of a 28-year-old girl.

"Yeah, I found this as soon as I came in, and immediately I felt like I had touched a..."

"Women's Skin"

"Yeah"

The two people's voices were neither loud nor soft, but they echoed clearly in the room.

Ling Yun, who was behind them, came up with a candlestick in his hand. As soon as he brought the candlestick closer, a charming fragrance lingered around his nose.

"Do you smell anything?"

Ling Yun asked unconsciously, but the next second a cold female voice sounded

When everyone turned around, they saw a graceful person standing at the door, holding a black shadow in her hand.

"Dear guests, I am Xiaolian, the servant sent by the eldest lady to serve you. I don't know if I will disturb your rest."

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this. Just as they were about to speak, they saw the maid who called herself Xiaolian hurriedly walked in with the black figure, put the thing on the table, arched her back, stood up and said,

"Dear guests, please go to bed early, I will..."

At this moment, Xiaolian hadn't finished speaking when she saw the person holding the candle walking forward. She reached out her hand to fight back, but she saw that the original person seemed to be afraid of something and stood in front of her.

"Miss Xiaolian, what is this?"

Jiang Zifang asked in confusion and glanced at Ling Yun.

The little girl standing by the table pouted slightly in the dark and said in a sleepy voice: "Brothers, can we go to bed? Lianyi is so sleepy."

As she spoke, she yawned and pulled Wen Baixu, who was closest to her.

Wen Baixu seemed to have received her message at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "You two should stop asking questions. Miss Xiaolian was kind enough to bring us tea and remind us to rest. We should not let her down and rest early."

As he said this, he bowed his hand towards the figure of the woman and said, "Thank you for your reminder, young lady. We will rest here, young lady, you should also rest soon."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.
