Standing at the door and just taking a cursory look, I have to say that if it weren't for Qiyue's garden, I would be willing to see more of this beautiful scenery.
Going down the steps, there is a one-meter-wide path paved with cobblestones. Various rare species of flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the path very regularly. An artificial stream flows slowly, and the water is so clear that you can clearly see the small trees at the bottom of the water.
Fish and shrimp, looking at the jubilant but gentle stream, their whole mood seemed to become gentle.
But at this moment, I had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery of the villa. I only had one thought in my mind, to leave this place quickly.
I ran along the cobblestone path towards the looming courtyard wall.
The path was winding and had many forks. It seemed like it was only about a hundred meters away. It took me about ten minutes of running before I reached the high wall covered with pink vines.
After walking along the wall for a long time, I saw a brass and iron door. The door was engraved with a pattern of a dragon flying in the clouds and mist. It looked heavy and powerful.
I reached out to pull the door handle, only to find that the iron door was locked. Except for the blue light flashing on the electronic lock plate, there was no gap in the closed door.
Thinking about it, since Qi Yue safely left me in this place, how could he let me get out easily?
I got a little angry and punched the electronic lock plate randomly, then finally lowered my hand dejectedly when Didi's alarm sounded, and silently turned around and walked back.
After taking two steps, I turned to look at the wall covered with vines and roses, and suddenly I felt a little more confident.
If you can't go out through the gate, there's no problem climbing the wall.
You must know that I grew up in the mountains, and I can climb to the top of bare fir trees. How could such a wall full of vines stop me? It is only three meters high, so it doesn't take much effort.
Just do it as you say.
I rubbed my hands and looked back into the yard. There was no one around. Mrs. Chen must have been in the kitchen of the villa and she hadn't come out yet.
When I walked to the base of the wall, I pulled out a vine to test its strength.
Well, it seems to be quite strong. Although there are thorns on the wings, it may prick your hands, but in the current situation, I can't worry about that much.
I pulled my sleeves hard, wrapped them around my hands, grabbed a vine, and climbed up.
The thorns on the vines still pierce into the flesh through the sleeves, causing some pain.
Just when I was about to climb up the wall and reach out my hand to grab it, a huge force suddenly came down from above my head. Before I could react, I was pushed back to the ground by the inexplicable force.
He pulled off a large piece of rose flower and wrapped it around his body.
Not giving up, I changed places and continued to climb up the wall.
But when I was about to climb up the wall again, that inexplicable huge force pressed down from the top of my head again, and I fell down again. In addition to the pricks on my hands, my buttocks also began to hurt and numb.
When I repeated it five or six times and fell back to the ground again, feeling pain as if my whole body was falling apart, I began to feel a little desperate.
I pulled large pieces of vine roses from the wall and piled them on the ground. The pink flowers shook their heads, as if they were also laughing at my stupid move.
The sleeves wrapped around the palms were covered with specks of blood.
"I don't believe this evil anymore!" I muttered and stood up again, walking towards another wall.
"Oh, don't waste your efforts. You can't get out. He put a ban on the wall! Look at this beautiful flower wall, you have almost destroyed it all. I have to plant it again." A hoarse voice that was a bit weird.
A voice sounded behind me.
I turned around suddenly, but I didn't see a single person. Moreover, Sister-in-law Chen said that except for a mute old Hao, there was no one else here.
Who is talking to me?
A camellia tree in the distance was covered with huge red and white flowers, and the tree body, half a man tall, was swaying slightly.
The sound came vaguely from the camellia tree.
Has the camellia become a spirit?
I frowned and walked towards the slightly swaying camellia.
When he was only one or two meters away from the flower tree, a dark figure stood up from under the tea tree.
Seeing that figure's face, I couldn't help but take two steps back.
It was an extremely terrifying face. The sallow face was covered with vertical and horizontal red mottled scars, large and large. After the scar contracture, the entire face was so distorted that the original appearance of the facial features was completely lost.
This was a man, who looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with a thin and stooped figure. He was wearing dark clothes and pants, and his head was tightly wrapped with a black cloth, revealing only his frightening face.
"Who are you?" After standing still, I looked at this strange person and asked.
"Oh, my appearance scares you! I am the gardener here, you can call me Lao Hao." The man replied in his hoarse and weird voice.
Gardener Old Hao?
But didn’t Mrs. Chen clearly say that he was mute?
"But Mrs. Chen told me that you..." I looked at the man who called himself Lao Hao and asked.
"You said I'm mute, right?" Old Hao smiled, without explaining much, turned around and walked in the other direction, facing me with his back.
"Why did you just say that my efforts were in vain?" I asked, looking at Lao Hao's back.
Lao Hao didn't look back, he didn't even stop walking, and walked about ten meters away in a short time.
I was a little anxious, and just as I was about to catch up, Old Hao's hoarse and strange voice came from far away: "Go back to the house, if I were you, I wouldn't do these laborious and useless things!"
A waste of effort?
I was stunned, watching Lao Hao's figure turn around and disappear behind a crabapple tree.
Looking up at the sky, the sunlight was a bit dazzling. I stood silently for an unknown amount of time, and my heart sank little by little.
"Young madam, so you are here. Go back to the house. I cooked seafood porridge. Try how it tastes. If you don't like it, I will make something else for you." Aunt Chen came to me out of nowhere.
Next to me, he tugged on my sleeve and said.
I looked at her blankly, and she was looking at me, her eyes full of worry.
"Sister-in-law Chen, have you been out since you came here?" I asked her softly.
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the vines that I tore off and piled on the ground under the wall. She sighed and shook her head and said, "I am the only one left in my family. The old man has died long ago and my son is working outside.
I haven’t been back for two years. When Master Qi signed the contract with me, the only requirement was that he couldn’t use his mobile phone and couldn’t go out. Seeing that the salary was high, I agreed. Anyway, I couldn’t do much when I went out. My only concern was my son.
, but he couldn’t call back even once a month, so he agreed so that he could save some money for his son.”
"Then why did Qi Yue call you?" I asked with some confusion.
"Master Qi, he called me a dedicated phone number." Aunt Chen replied.
"Sister-in-law Chen, don't you think there's anything strange about Qi Yue's request?" I asked Aunt Chen.
Mrs. Chen glanced at me, but her eyes were a little evasive, "We who work as servants will not interfere with the master's family affairs. The richer the family, the more strange requests they will make. In fact, if you are used to it, it will be fine."
I don’t think there’s anything strange about it.” This chapter has been completed!
