After all the elite soldiers set up camp outside the house, Qin Xiao took two or three elite soldiers with Ruyi to visit that family.
The door of this house was open, as if to welcome them. But after everyone entered, they found that there was no one in this house, and it was extremely deserted.
An elite soldier asked: "It's strange. Could it be that the house here has been abandoned?"
Ruyi observed it, shook his head and said: "I don't think so. The house is very clean, there are no cobwebs in the corners, and there is no dust on the table, as if someone had just cleaned it. How could it be so clean if it was an abandoned house."
A few people walked around the house again and found that there was a fire on the stove in the kitchen, chicken soup was simmering, and the mouth-watering aroma wafted out. The house was an old-style building, and the stove was connected to the kang, which was also warm.
Qin Xiao frowned and said: "This house is very strange. Even if the people in the house want to go out, they will not forget the soup on the stove, let alone close the door. Moreover, in such a big house, no one will be alone.
Not even left."
Another elite soldier asked: "Did something happen and this family escaped from home?"
Ruyi retorted: "I don't think so. If they fled collectively, they would leave traces of haste. But everything in this house is in order. It's like...it's like..."
Qin Xiao asked: "What does it look like?"
Ruyi trembled and said something that even made her skin crawl: "It's like... the people in the house haven't left... it's just that we can't see them..."
An elite soldier next to him couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. Qin Xiao glared at him, and then he restrained himself and coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
Ruyi closed her eyes, raised her hands slightly, held her breath, and quietly felt the atmosphere in the house. There was no cold and evil atmosphere here, nor was there a strong atmosphere of ghosts. If this uninhabited mansion is not haunted by ghosts, then what?
What's going on?
Ruyi felt curious and said to everyone: "I think this place is good. Why don't we stay here tonight? There are many rooms in the house, and other people can also live in them. If they are squeezed in, it should be able to accommodate fifty people."
The rest."
Qin Xiao was obviously opposed to this house. He said: "This house is very strange. I think it's better not to rest here at night. The princess can live with us in the camp outside the house."
Guarding the accompanying elite soldiers, naturally their personal relationship cannot be exposed. Even Qin Xiao has to call Ruyi the princess.
Ruyi knew that Qin Xiao was worried about her, so she agreed without saying anything. When they left the house and walked out, Ruyi was walking at the end. She felt a chill on her back for no reason. When she looked back, she saw a snow-white man.
A child in a red bellyband ran along the porch.
Ruyi thought she was dazzled, so she blinked and looked over, and saw that everything in the house was as before. The porcelain doll-like child wearing a bellyband seemed to have never appeared before.
When Qin Xiao saw Ruyi turning back and staring at the porch, he asked, "Princess, did you find anything wrong?"
Ruyi came back to her senses, smiled reluctantly and said, "It's nothing, let's go."
…
It was late at night, and Ruyi was lying in the tent unable to sleep. She had already changed out of the long wedding robe, and planned to put it on again after entering Rongzhu. She wore a thin plain dress, and her legs were dangling.
That appearance is incompatible with the solemn title of "Princess Princess".
