Originally, Su Yi was in a panic because she saw the maid acting strangely. As soon as her curiosity aroused, she followed her.
But when he saw her entering a particularly quiet courtyard, he sensibly did not follow her.
where is this place?
If she was just giving something away, why would he be so panicked when he bumped into her?
Either this is a shameful thing, or this matter just cannot be known by Li Yening...
Soon, the maid came out again, still holding the same set of things.
But Su Yi was very sure that the tea cup was empty.
Su Yi, who had been thinking for a while, was attracted by the sound of footsteps.
They were twin sisters, identical in appearance. One was dressed in green and had an expressionless face, while the other was in yellow and had a gentle expression.
It was from that courtyard that they came out.
Soon, they disappeared in the opposite direction from where the maid left.
Su Yi waited for a while, made sure there was nothing strange, and then walked out.
But his posture was not as sneaky as a thief, but as natural as if he were strolling through his own back garden.
“What a shabby place this is, the roads are all the same, how can anyone walk there!!”
The girl complained dissatisfiedly as she walked away.
She also took out a sachet and frowned: "Speaking of which, that maid was walking too hastily. Didn't she notice that she had dropped her things?"
The person in the dark subconsciously touched his waist, and sure enough, it was empty.
When she reached the wall, she turned around, leaned against it, looked at the paths on both sides, and began to feel aggrieved: "What the hell is this? Not only is it desolate and boring, but there is also no way to tell where is where!" "
"I'll ask Brother Ze to put warning signs at every intersection later! Humph!"
The girl was so aggrieved that she started to get angry. The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and she was groaning where she was. She was still considering whether to take a random path or return the same way.
But thinking that there were many forks in the original road, her expression gradually collapsed.
Finally, she made the difficult decision to go to the right, but tripped over a gap in the stone slabs, jumped forward a few steps on one foot, and then put one hand on the wall——
"I, it's too difficult for me..."
The girl felt even more aggrieved.
The man in the dark hesitated, but in the end he was worried that she would trap him here, and walked out quickly.
"Ah?"
The maid who had left just now walked forward quickly, gesturing with her hands, her face full of worry and questioning.
Su Yi smiled in surprise, then handed over the sachet in his hand, with a frank look in his eyes: "It's you~"
"Although the sachet you just dropped is a bit old, you still have it with you, so it must be very important, right?"
"But you walked too fast and you were gone when I found you, so I followed you."
The maid lowered her head and took it, not looking directly at the sun-like smile on his face, and then gestured to take her out.
"Really?! That's great! There are so many trails here, and I got lost just walking around."
"It's definitely not because I have a bad sense of direction. It's because it's too easy to get lost here. I'll tell your master about it later..."
Su Yi said while paying attention to the maid's expression.
If she hadn't been afraid of alerting others, she would have really wanted to pretend to be stupid and go in to take a look.
But as she thought, someone must be watching in the dark, but she didn't expect it to be the maid.
He looks frizzy, but he is actually very cautious.
That's right, a maid who seems to be careless in her work will be more inconspicuous.
However, the liquid in the teacup... should be said to be blood, what is it used for?
By the time the maid sent him back to his new room, it was almost dark, but Uncle Fu stood at the door, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.
After she asked a lot of questions, Su Yi blocked his inquiry with the fact that he was lost and wanted to put a sign on the house.
Seeing that Uncle Fu smiled and did not answer directly, but changed the subject without leaving any trace, Su Yi confidently made his request for a rest.
Ha, sure enough.
Uncle Fu's smile faded, and then he said warmly again: "Miss Li, you have been out several times today. You should have a good rest after dinner. It is dark at night and it is difficult to see the road."
Su Yi's eyelashes trembled, and then she nodded obediently.
So, this is the first taboo - you can't go out at night.
However, the moment she was about to close the door, he saw the back of Fu Bo's head move, and then——
Two skinny little hands lifted his hair, revealing a strange face!
There was a pair of big eyes on that face, which were like black beads, staring at him viciously. Then, it slowly opened its mouth, revealing the sharp upper and lower teeth!
"Ey-"
It spoke to her!
Fu Bo, who was walking slowly, didn't react at all, and didn't seem to hear anything.
Su Yi grabbed the door hard, her heart beating violently in her body.
"Err, eh, eh-"
It's still speaking to her!
But she couldn’t understand it at all!
Su Yi frowned, then made a grimace and squinted his eyes, put his hands down his hair again, as if he was playing a game with him, and even laughed a few times.
"Hee hee hee......"
She waited for a few seconds, but did not wait for the attack, so she closed the door expressionlessly.
But what that grimace said was - "Look again, I'll kill you~"

As night fell, the temperature in the room seemed to be slowly dropping. The room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of breathing being heard.
The person on the bed was pale, breathing rapidly, with slightly messy black hair scattered on the side of the face. The flushed cheeks and sweaty temples all showed the unrest of the girl in her sleep, as if she had dreamed of something extremely scary.
Su Yi's consciousness was sometimes awake and sometimes blurry, as if she could vaguely see the wedding scene, and saw several brides wearing red hijabs.
Then a plain white hand gently lifted up a bride's red veil, and what came into view was a withered face!
She had obviously been sucked out of all her blood and turned into a mummy!
Su Yi's breath suffocated, and then she saw two lines of tears falling from the bride's empty eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up strangely.
"The bride...is going to die...and soon it will be...your turn!!!"
Suddenly, her face suddenly moved closer to Su Yi, the pupils in her wide eyes were rotating crazily, and bloodshot eyes gradually covered her eyes, scarlet and terrifying!
Was she one of the seven previous brides?
What is she doing now?
Is it a warning or a threat? !
Su Yi realized that he should be in a dream, but his body felt like it was pressed tightly by something, unable to move.
Ghost on the bed? ?
The bride in front of her gradually disappeared, and the plain white bed curtains became more and more clear, but Su Yi felt that something was even more wrong.
wrong!
There's something next to him!
Su Yi felt a cold breath approaching her, with a vague smell of blood, lingering lightly above her body.
Is it the ghost bride just now?
She didn't dare to move, she just tried her best to control her trembling muscles, and then slowed down her breathing bit by bit, pretending that she was still sleeping.
"!"
A cold touch actually fell on his face, with a slight fishy smell, like the fingertips of a dead person, stiffly scratching down his forehead, and finally stopped on her chest.
The girl's body was warm and soft, and she was breathing up and down, as if containing infinite vitality.
At this time, Su Yi's brain started thinking quickly.
What does it do? Break open her chest and take out her heart?
Should she take advantage of this moment to escape?
Just when her body moved slightly, the air conditioning suddenly disappeared and the room became warm again.
After a long time, Su Yi on the bed gradually opened her eyes, shocked.
Her face was as white as paper, but her cheeks were flushed with an abnormal blush. Her lips, which used to be beautiful, were so frightened that they lost their color, and there was fear between her brows.
Tsk.
Su Yi calmed down and extracted a piece of information from the ghost bride's words.
It's about to be her turn——
Therefore, Li Yening is the eighth bride.
Early the next morning, Su Yi opened the door with a tired body and mind, and found that it was cloudy today, with dark clouds squeezing together, and the whole world seemed to have become narrower.
Next to him was Fu Bo's wrinkled face, with his usual weird smile.
He stared straight at himself and said something very strange: "Ms. Li, did you go out last night?"
Su Yi replied confidently: "No, why did you say that, Uncle Fu!"
Uncle Fu laughed "haha" twice before slowly replying: "Because, three people died last night."
His tone was light, but it seemed to have a chill that crawled up Su Yi's back, making her shiver involuntarily.
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat, feeling that by asking this, he seemed to be sure that she knew something.
But how could Li Yening know anything?
It feels like his words always have some meaning.
The girl's almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, as if she was frightened. Those beautiful and moist eyes were full of fear, her eyelashes trembled, and her eye sockets gradually turned red.
"Are you a servant of the house?"
Fu Bo smiled faintly: "Yes."
Then she pursed her lips and asked in a soft voice: "Then can I find Brother Ze? I'm so scared."
Su Yi's tone was extremely fragile, like a kitten seeking comfort from its owner.
Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to ask such a question, and then he answered with a smile: "Yes, yes, but the young master may be busy..."
"it does not matter!"
Before Uncle Fu could finish speaking, he was hurriedly interrupted by Su Yi.
I’ve learned from experience that the words following “but” are not words you want to hear, so it’s best not to say them.
Speaking of which, Uncle Fu couldn't refuse anymore, so he had no choice but to take Su Yi to find his young master.
When Fu Bo turned around, Su Yi subconsciously looked at the back of his head, but there was no movement.
Forget it... If nothing else, just pretend that she saw it wrong before.
However, just when she had this idea, Fu Bo's hair was suddenly pulled back, revealing an evil smile, his sharp teeth opened and closed, and he uttered "Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".
Kill, kill, you, oh~
Su Yi's right eyelid suddenly beat wildly, as if danger was approaching.
In the blink of an eye, the smile disappeared.
Su Yi pinched her palms and forced herself to calm down.
What is it talking about?
