I woke up leisurely and stretched myself. The room was filled with darkness.
She was not in her room. Chen Meili looked around and saw the waiter lying on the table opposite.
I hurriedly touched the bag my brother gave me. It was still there, and I felt a little relieved.
"When, when, when"
The sound of the clock was heard not far away, and it was already midnight. Chen Meili glanced at the untouched dishes on the table, and a sense of uneasiness arose in her heart.
Li Rentao didn't come even so late. He looked at the waiter anxiously and saw that he hadn't moved.
After looking at the cloth bag given by Li Rentao, Chen Meili decided that she should pay for the food and go home.
Carefully unpacking the baggage, Chen Meili's heart skipped a beat.
In addition to silver, pearl necklaces, gold hairpins, silver accessories, etc., there is a whole package full of valuable jewelry that my mother does not often wear.
It was not urgent to wake up the waiter in the shop. He found some broken silver at random, and Chen Meili quickly ran towards the street.
There was no one on the dark street. Chen Meili couldn't care less about the fear in her heart and ran all the way.
The light coming from the Li Mansion in front made Chen Meili happy. It seemed that she was overthinking it. She took a deep breath to calm down her mood and walked towards the door.
The door opened, and Chen Meili frowned. It was too careless to keep the door open. It was so dangerous in the middle of the night.
After walking straight in, the lanterns on both sides of the road were scattered on the ground. Chen Meili quickly ran towards the hall.
He sat down on the ground and saw a mess in the hall. Tables, bowls, ladles, and basins were scattered all over the floor.
"Brother,,,mother,,,woo,,"
Chen Meili cried and ran to the backyard. Her tears kept being wiped away and then came over again.
I looked through all the rooms and found them empty. There were signs of tampering everywhere. The big bed in my parents' room had been cut in half.
He fell limply on the steps. What happened during the few hours he was away?
"There's a noise inside"
Chen Meili heard the sound of footsteps at the tip of her ears, quickly got up, rushed into a room, and hid shivering under a table covered with tablecloth.
"Brother, if there is any noise in the middle of the night, you must have heard it wrong." Another male voice sounded.
"No, there must be" the voice that just spoke
The door was pushed open with great force
"Ah,," someone exclaimed: "What can be in this place? Brother, I'm a coward. Let's go."
",,,"
Chen Meili covered her mouth hard and looked at a pair of feet walking towards her under the dim light.
"squeak"
An animal scream
"It's a mouse." The voice trembled: "Just say it's nothing, we'd better leave."
Another pair of feet, then two pairs of feet rush away
Chen Meili trembled and crawled out from under the table. She glanced at the table and realized the reason for their fear.
This is the ancestral hall of the Li family, and what is enshrined on the table are the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors of the Li family.
