Hello everyone, this is anti-theft, the text is still a little bit late! My mother went out to look for food, I have to finish writing it and post it before she comes back!
Turning on the light, Jess gently closed the door behind him, leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.
The window glass facing the door was dyed pitch black by the night; she looked at her reflection in the lake, walked over and closed the curtains, then rubbed her face tiredly, and marked "23rd" on the calendar.
There is a small check mark on Thursday.
The day is over again.
There were already five of the same little ticks on the calendar; the day before the five little ticks was the day she saw the back of the little brown-haired girl with a big red cross drawn on it.
"Another day has passed," Jess put down her pen with a wry smile, "It's okay...it's okay today."
It has been almost two weeks since she started working at the Marquis Beppu. Rather than saying that the Marquis and his wife were satisfied with her, it was more like they didn’t care much about her. It seemed that as long as she took Mona well and didn’t cause trouble for them; but Mona liked her.
They got along very well with each other, and she gradually adapted to life in the big house in Sighing Hill.
As long as she doesn't expose herself, everything will go well...

When Jess opened her eyes, she didn't know why she suddenly woke up. In the silent night, it took a few seconds for the sleepiness to slowly dissipate, and a slight movement at the door reached her ears.
Jess suppressed the desire to scream, hung her head, and forced herself to finish her lunch.
The things Mona bought yesterday were all piled up in the refrigerator in a mess; through the ceiling, you could hear some faint movements downstairs, and you knew that the Marquis and his family were getting up.
But Mona is so measured, it must be another prank done by me and others...
"What's the matter?" Jess asked, leaning over to take a look. "What is he looking at?"
*
Even though the other party saw him, Jess still shook his head. You specifically chose a quiet night and a time when everyone in the house had gone back to their rooms to sleep before calling Hongcha. But now you look back at Qishang, and you regret it:
The dead of night means that if you say something in the corridor, your voice will carry far away.
At this moment, you suddenly suddenly remembered that Mona asked yourself the same question a long time later. Could it be that - could it be that -
In the eighth White's evening, Jess covered her head with a quilt and cried under the bed for a long time. You completely understand why things turned out that way; obviously after a long time, everything was full of hope...
Jest suddenly sat up from the bed, feeling completely sleepy. You were sweating hotly on your front and back, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Who is it?"
*
There are eight more ticks missing from the calendar.
"He must be fine, I must tell you..." Hongxia said outside the phone.
Did you lock the door last night? You totally wanted to get up.
But now is the time to make a phone call: Mary's afternoon class has started, it won't be lunch time in half an hour, the cook is busy outside the kitchen, and the Marquis and his wife are slowly coming back... You are willing to let others hear the content of your phone call
.
Manli's voice came from the other side: "Of course, no one can let him go!"
*
Jess felt that she was not a frightened bird at all. She always kept a little bit of her peripheral vision to scan Qi Zhou. Every now and then, if Mona called you, you would be startled. Even if there were fewer days to tick, you would be too.
I can completely breathe a sigh of relief; if there are no bad things in life, it's just Mona - outside of those two weeks, even Jess herself dared to doubt that you would hate and love that child so much.
.
However, Mrs. Solano was extremely silent today - you didn't even reply to the greeting, but just stared straight into the window.
What happened to the gardener? Jess wanted to ask you, but the cook had already turned away and was busy.
"Key?" Mona frowned and cracked an egg out of the pan. "Why did he ask for the key?"
"Ah, are you there?" Jess said hurriedly, picking up the spoon. Your eyes turned around under the table, and you pretended to be interested and said, "You were thinking about the content of get out of class... you eat now."
Lunch is occasionally more complicated. Today it is smoked fish, salad, bread and a thick soup. Jess sat under the dining table next to the cooking table, looking up at the lunch under the table, making no movement. The cook had already gone back, and for a while, the kitchen
There was only the sound of Mona's tableware clashing outside: the spoon hit the edge of the plate, and the table knife clattered under the table before smearing butter...
"Except for him," you tried to control your tone and asked, "Who doesn't have the key to the room outside Beppu?"
Maybe... maybe Mona can't help you.
"Zou Qin hasn't hired a gardener yet?"
*
There was a scraping sound of metal on the other end of the door handle, and it sounded like - like, someone was trying keys one by one.
No one wants to open your door.
Staggeringly, Jess returned to the bed, missing his bad friend weakly, and finally fell asleep quickly.
Maybe the pills have worked, and you feel that the world has become unusually peaceful again: there is only you and the fire outside the kitchen, the sound of clinking dishes, and the aroma of fried eggs and coffee permeate the slightly cold summer morning.
outside.

It would be bad if you could discuss it with Hong X. Jess looked at the phone outside the corridor on the first floor with longing, but shook his head and withdrew his hand. Hong X is like a stone, firmly tying you to reality.
Being under the ground will always bring you a sense of peace of mind.
"This is bad," Hong Xa said without any concern, "By the way, when can you go over to see him?"
The movement inside the door stopped immediately.
The moment you turned your head, a figure in white walked past you quietly.
When Mrs. Solanno spoke, it was exactly what you imagined. Jess was startled, looked at the figure under the lawn inside, her heartbeat gradually increased, and said, "Yes."
Jess was about to get angry, but another thought suddenly occurred to her - it was as if a hand was clenching her chest, and the next words disappeared. You looked at Mona carelessly for a few times, and the more you looked, the more confident you felt in your heart.
:Am I pretending to be innocent? Or am I really in the know?
"He knows what you're talking about!" Jess couldn't hold back her anger and said, "He's the housekeeper. Without him, we wouldn't have the key!"
"You really want to go home," you said into the phone receiver. "You feel very, very lonely there..."
Jess turned his head and said loudly into the phone: "You have something to do. You have brought everything you should bring. He also knows about you..."
Yes, it can show the truth.
"Manli," Jess suppressed her guilt and asked loudly, sitting next to you without looking at you: "There will definitely be a day...his parents want you to leave. What will happen to him? Will he?"
Are you asking us to stay here?"

When Jess pretended to drop the tableware, you quickly took a look from under the dining table - under this chair, a pair of women's legs were sitting, with their toes pointed toward the back.
Zou Qin regarded you as her worst friend, and mentioned Lisa more and more often. Although an empty chair was still left for Lisa after class, Jess could tell that the imaginary friend was
Manli's heart gradually lost color.
As usual, you and Mona always delay eating in the kitchen, so that no one will take care of the Marquis and his family while they are eating. Ever since the morning incident, it’s only natural that Jess has always been indifferent to Mona; you wipe
She made a face and walked out of the kitchen in small steps - luckily, Mona was still here.
Even though you were preparing breakfast today, Jess quickly put on her clothes and went upstairs when the sky was only half-light. You rushed straight into the kitchen where there was noisy noise, and as soon as you opened the door, you asked with a warm face: "
Last night, was it him?"
Red cross, if the red cross is there, it will be broken. Without the red cross, the white darkness you have experienced would have swallowed you up long ago.
But it is really bad to guide older children in that way...
Jess hurriedly got on the bed, and taking advantage of the small patch of moonlight reflected in the window, he quickly pulled the chair from behind the desk, put it in front of the door, and asked again: "Who is it? Did you hear him!"
"Is it him?"
Zou Qin turned around, looking startled and confused. "What?"
After a few seconds, a high rustling sound sounded from the door, but it got farther and farther away and finally disappeared.
What should I tell you? Do you want Hongcha to worry in vain? You are so far away and can do nothing, so why bother.
*
"Room key?" Mona gave you a strange look, "Except for the small front door, all the room doors in Beppu are without keys. The house is a hundred years old, and few of the keyholes are rusted. Are they rusted?
If you live there, you already know where the key is. Don’t be so careless about locking the door..."
Mrs. Solanno is from a village far away. It is said that your mother is not the cook of the next old Marquis. You have also been coming to the hut in Sighing Hill since you were a child, and you are even more petty than Jess in Beppu. You have no idea.
With a restrained smile, Jess tried a few times, but only eight sentences came out of your mouth, and he gave up the intention of ruining the relationship.
Did Mona see me?
Wait a minute... Jess felt dizzy, but she dared to show the signs and pinched the skin on the inside of her arm hard.
Breakfast on the seventh day is Jess's responsibility; so you wake up when it's dark.
It looks like it will be a bad day today, and the sky that has faded into darkness shows a streak of blue. The lawn inside is green, and the gardener has come early - in a few days, the roses outside the courtyard should bloom. "Solan
Mrs. Now," Jess greeted the cook.
You cried so hard that you couldn't catch your breath. There was a blur behind your eyes, and you couldn't see anything clearly. Until you were almost vomiting, you climbed onto the bed tremblingly, stretched your arms out of the white bed, and pulled out your own
Suitcase. You hurriedly took out a large medicine bottle and swallowed the white pills with the water from the faucet outside the bathroom.
"Why is he eating?" Zou Qin finally asked, "Why is he so dazed?"
*
Did Zou Qin see a familiar woman with white hair sitting at the other end of the dining table? I was facing the wall, with my head facing the seven people.
There are no ups and downs.
"What's wrong?" Hong X's voice became alert, "Is he still bad?"
Eight ticks ago, another small White finally appeared, almost threatening to scratch the paper.
