The shrill voice penetrated the dark rain curtain and spread far away.
"What's wrong?"
While talking, Wei Tao had already crossed the yard and came to the corridor in front of the house.
All I saw was a pile of flames still burning on the ground.
Not far away, the little girl was still screaming with her eyes closed.
Didn't answer his question at all.
Until she was grabbed by the collar and lifted up, shaking violently until she felt dizzy.
Only then did he finally come back to his senses from the panic.
He wailed loudly, "Human, human skin!"
"Where is the human skin?"
Wei Tao looked into her eyes, calming down the little girl who had been so arrogant and ambitious this afternoon.
She took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and spoke slowly.
"It's the maid Xiaohuan. I came out to look for food just now. I saw her human skin floating around in this corridor, and she asked me what I wanted to eat..."
"Did you find anything?"
Wei Tao put her aside and turned around to ask.
Ou Yinglian came over with a lantern and bowed slightly.
"Back to my lord, Wu Yin found a series of water-stained footprints and has already chased them with Mr. Gan."
"Everyone in the other rooms was sleeping deeply. Not only Miss Fang's scream just now, but even the subordinates reaching out and shaking them hard did not wake them up."
"My subordinates checked each room carefully and found nothing special."
"Where are the room attendants?" Wei Tao asked.
"He was sleeping too, and the room smelled of alcohol."
A trace of doubt flashed across Ou Yinglian's eyebrows, "My subordinates suspected that they were all under the influence of the incense, but they didn't smell anything different."
While they were talking, Gan Liang and Wu Yin rushed back from the backyard.
"Sir, not long after we chased him, the footprints suddenly disappeared, as if a person disappeared out of thin air."
Wei Tao nodded, "It's a good thing that something happened. It's better than not discovering anything at all."
He looked up at the gloomy and dark night sky and took a deep breath of the moist and cool air. "Being going back and forth for so long has made me a little irritable. I hope those guys who have been playing tricks on me will not disappoint me in the end."
"Come on, come with me to see those maids and servants. Such a big thing has happened, and they are still asleep. It seems they don't want to continue to eat this food."
At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded from far to near.
"Sir, this house looks pretty good."
A middle-aged man's voice came from outside the door.
Wei Tao's ears trembled slightly, and amidst the wind and rain, he recognized a deliberately suppressed conversation between a man and a woman.
"Sister Yuan, how about we stay here for the night tonight and then go look for your grandfather's villa tomorrow?"
"It's dark and rainy, so we have no choice but to do this."
Not long after, the courtyard door was banged.
Wei Tao tilted his head slightly and winked.
"Come on, come on, it's so late, who is it?"
Ou Yinglian responded quickly and quickly came to the door.
"Who are you, and what are you doing by calling me?"
She picked up the lantern and looked at a group of sword-wielding warriors outside through the crack in the door. Her voice suddenly became trembling.
The hand behind his back quickly made a sign of twelve.
"Sister, we are just staying here for one night and leaving early tomorrow morning," said a soft female voice.
Ou Yinglian was embarrassed, "There are so many of you, and you all have weapons..."
Whoosh!
Suddenly a figure flashed.
A man with a long knife on his back flew up.
He crossed the courtyard wall and stood behind Ou Yinglian.
"How did you get in?"
Ou Yinglian screamed and backed away repeatedly, almost hitting the door frame.
Wei Tao in the corridor was surprised by her acting skills.
"I'm just telling you, if we are really bad guys, it is impossible to stop our intrusion with just this courtyard wall."
"So, my young master is really just staying for the night, and has no other intentions."
The man with the long knife on his back said a few words coldly, then stood up again and arrived outside the courtyard.
There was a soft squeaking sound.
The door was opened.
Ou Yinglian welcomed the person in with a smile on her face.
There are a total of twelve people on the other side.
Two young men and women were escorted in the middle, quickly crossed the courtyard and came to the corridor.
Wei Tao was observing them.
They also focused their attention on it.
The others were fine. A stooped old man in the team turned his eyes slightly sideways when he saw Gan Liang. He took a step forward intentionally or unintentionally and stood in front of the young couple.
"You are the master of this place."
The only woman in the team raised her paper umbrella, revealing a weak and beautiful face, "We are sorry for disturbing you late at night. We just want a place that can protect you from the wind and rain. I also hope that it will be convenient for you."
As he spoke, the man who had just carried the long sword stepped forward, cupped his fists and bowed.
Offering a letter of silver ingots with both hands.
The girl continued, "A little money is disrespectful."
"It's convenient for others and it's convenient for yourself."
Wei Tao nodded slightly and said with a gentle smile, "Yinglian, take a few distinguished guests to the side courtyard to rest."
"Yes, sir."
Ou Yinglian held the lantern and turned her head to look, "Everyone, please come with me."
The group of people quickly followed and went to the courtyard originally arranged for Wei Tao and others to live.
"Mr. Gan, what do you think?"
Wei Tao watched them disappear around the corner of the corridor and looked back.
"My lord, judging from what they mean, they seem to be going specifically for that summer manor, but I don't know what their purpose is."
Gan Liang thought slowly and said, "The other party's level of strength, that old servant who looks like a housekeeper, should not be underestimated. The other guards are only at the second level of Qi and Blood level, so they are not something to worry about."
"As for the young man and woman, the young man called the Young Master has a bright light in his eyes, and his strength level is stronger than that of the old man, but he is definitely not as good as the adult.
There is another girl. Please forgive me for my blindness, but I can't tell whether she has practiced martial arts."
"I didn't see it either."
Wei Tao said slowly, "I thought it was just some unsighted evil warriors causing trouble. We came here just to find people to kill, but unexpectedly, it developed in an increasingly weird direction."
"Mr. Gan has been in Guan Nei for two or three years. Have you ever encountered similar tasks before?"
"The task that I participated in the most was the task of suppressing the evil warriors that my lord said.
As for something as strange as this, I have only experienced it once in the past three years, and in the end it was the viewer who personally took action to calm the situation down."
"oh?"
Wei Tao laughed, "Next, I can use Mr. Gan's story to drink with me and kill the time on this long rainy night."
……………………
"Uncle Kui, you suddenly stopped in front of me just now. Could it be that the owner of this house is also a hidden master?"
In the dry and bright room, Mr. Jinyi took off his soaked leather boots, put his feet into the freshly heated medicine, and let out a long breath.
"The master of the house, the old slave, didn't see through it, but the old servant beside him should be a warrior with the third level of Qi and blood."
Uncle Kui stood on one side and looked out the window with his cloudy eyes.
"In addition, the woman who opened the door for us has also mastered the transformation of qi and blood.
Although she tried her best to hide it, the tiny habits in every movement, every step, and every line were difficult to conceal.”
Mr. Jinyi frowned slightly, "Oh? Uncle Kui is still awesome, I didn't notice it from the beginning to the end."
"The old slave is not great, but he has lived longer and met more people, so he will naturally have experience."
When Kuibo said this, he sighed quietly, "For the young master, no matter what the origin of the master here is, it is nothing to worry about. What really makes this slave unable to see through is the man you saved not long ago.
Miss."
"Don't worry, Uncle Que, I have my own plans."
Mr. Jin Yi smiled slightly and picked up the tea cup on the table.
call……
A whirlwind roared from low altitude and knocked on the doors and windows, making a series of snapping sounds.
Suddenly a scream came.
The young man in brocade suddenly raised his head.
Kui Bo's figure moved together and blew out all the candles in an instant.
The next moment, he had arrived at the door and looked out carefully.
There was a soft squeaking sound.
Wei Tao put down his wine glass and turned to look.
I saw the door was pushed open a gap.
The cold wind mixed with moisture kept blowing in.
Gan Liang had already gotten up and came to the door.
There was no one outside, except for the patter of rain hitting the eaves of the roof.
At this moment.
A scream came from the direction of the side courtyard.
"Sir, something seems to have happened to those people."
Gan Liang frowned and looked towards that place, "This place is really a bit evil. These people just moved in and encountered a situation."
"Don't be anxious, let them push it from the front first."
Wei Tao sat still, "In this way, we may become bystanders and discover clues that we never noticed when we were in the game."
"Eh!?"
Gan Liang nodded, but suddenly lowered his voice, "My subordinate saw Miss Fang again, coming from the direction of the side courtyard."
"Call her here and ask her what happened."
"My subordinate understands."
After a while, Miss Fang was holding a cup of hot tea, her body still shaking slightly.
"I was talking in Sister Yuan's room just now when I suddenly heard a scream.
Later, when everyone went out to check, they discovered that one of their guards had died in the hut."
"How did that man die?" Wei Tao asked.
"Him, his stomach was cut open and his internal organs were spilled all over the floor."
Miss Fang started to cry, "It's so scary. This is the first time I've seen a dead person. It's really scary."
"I'll go over and take a look."
Wei Tao stood up and said, "Please be vigilant and sound the alarm immediately if something happens."
