As soon as she walked in the door, Tong Lele immediately felt a chill. She had few clothes, was wet in the rain, and was injured. She couldn't help but hugged her arms tightly and clung to Lei Lanting's back.
Although it was daytime, because the house was surrounded by tall trees, the light in the corridor on the first floor was very dark. Lei Lanting turned his head and saw a row of switches on the wall beside him. He pushed up all the switches at once, and on the ceiling There was a slight tingling sound, and after a while, a faint orange light lit up above the head. Although the illumination was still very limited, I could at least see the path under my feet and the locations of several rooms.
Lei Lanting glanced at Tong Lele and found that she was shivering. He immediately took off his jacket, gently put it on her body, and then helped her walk into the room on the left closest to the main entrance.
"You sit down first, and I'll see if I can heat up the fireplace." As soon as Lei Lanting walked in, he immediately turned on the lighting in the room with a very familiar look, "If you don't light a fire, it will be very cold at night. Wait. Now that the house is warm, I’ll find some medicine for you right away.”
The lights in the room were brighter than in the corridor. Tong Lele looked around the layout of the room as she walked: the room looked about forty square meters, with oil paintings of different scenery hanging on three walls, and a large coffee-colored writing table on the Under the huge window edge, thick-looking dark green curtains and curtains hung on both sides of the window. There was a desk lamp with a bright green lampshade standing on the desk. Tong Lele casually pulled the switch of the desk lamp, and the desk lamp turned on, reflecting the light green light of the lampshade, making the room brighter.
Next to the desk are a long cloth-covered sofa and a small single cloth-covered sofa. The fabric of the sofa has a dark pattern. It is hard to tell whether it has not been cleaned for a long time or whether it is this color. There is a wooden coffee table in front of the sofa, and the coffee table is empty.
Lei Lanting stood in the fireplace in the room. The shape of this fireplace was nothing special, but its location was very clever. It did not stand next to a whole wall like other fireplaces, but took advantage of the 90-degree angle in the corner of the room. Corner design, fireplace close to the window.
He raised his hand and touched the upper end of the fireplace: "Well, there is a flue here, and the smoke should come out directly. But let's be careful. I'll open a crack in the window first."
Tong Lele was a little tired and sat gently on the small single sofa. Watching Lei Lanting move the chair and jump on the desk, he suddenly asked: "How did you find this job? Why have you never heard anyone say that this kind of thing has happened?" Work.”
Lei Lanting stood on the desk, gently opened the two windows high up by two gaps, and tried it with his hands to make sure that the windows would not be closed by the wind: "This is a coincidence. Originally, this was my The job my Polish roommate received was recommended to him by the labor agency he registered with, but this Polish friend suddenly failed a subject and was unable to come at the moment, so he transferred it to me."
"Then why doesn't he transfer it to someone else?"
"Well, this kind of cleaning work is quite hard, and many Chinese people are not willing to do it. If we hire professional cleaners to clean up this villa, it will take a week, and it will cost several thousand marks." The agency said I don’t want to spend so much money. The Polish guy got it for 100 marks an hour, and introduced me to it for 80 marks an hour. He earned 20 marks an hour without doing anything.”
"Tsk, tsk, then he is really nice to you."
"He knows that I won't cheat him, so don't worry about letting me do it. Of course, I can't give up the job. After all, this kind of work is quite profitable. But you girls can't do it. It's really too tiring." Lei Lanting said , jumped off the table, knelt down by the fireplace, and started stacking kindlings.
"I picked up some firewood last time. We should be able to light a fire soon." Lei Lanting carefully lit a newspaper and sent it to the bottom of the firewood pile, trying to ignite the hay placed inside. , twigs and other fire starters, while blowing gently.
"I didn't know you could make a fire? That's okay. I've never heard you say that." Tong Lele looked at Lei Lanting with admiration and praised, "It's not easy to make a fire."
"Experts." Lei Lanting changed the direction of the fire and tried to light other flammable items. "My hometown is in the countryside, and we need a fire for cooking and cooking."
"Oh, I didn't mean to inquire." Tong Lele blushed and explained awkwardly.
"It's okay, there's nothing to be shy about, haha. Anyway, you will see it when you come home with me, hahahaha." Lei Lanting laughed while blowing air. He saw that some small branches were already on fire. stand up.
"Go home with you?" Tong Lele was stunned, and after a few seconds she immediately realized that Lei Lanting was taking advantage of her, hinting that the two of them were going to get married in the future, so the woman would have to go home with the man to see him, "I hate it." She said in vain glanced at him.
When girls say they are disgusting, most of the time they mean it. If you really hate a boy, you will usually say "disgusting".
The lowest kindling was on fire, and the branches made a crackling sound. Lei Lanting adjusted the placement of some branches, and after making sure that the fire would not go out, he rummaged around the house.
In addition to desks, the furniture in the house also included low cabinets and standing cabinets, but after searching all places, no medicine was found.
"Wait for me here for a while, and I'll go look in other rooms." Lei Lanting glanced at Tong Lele on the sofa and said softly.
"I feel much better. The wound doesn't hurt so much anymore, and my feet don't seem to hurt anymore. I, let me look for it with you." Tong Lele didn't want to sit in the room and wait alone. It made her feel uneasy. It's always safer next to a man.
"Oh well."
The two walked out of the room and walked slowly along the corridor. After coming in for a while, their eyes gradually adapted to the dim light. Only then did Tong Lele notice that there were some oil paintings of portraits hanging on both sides of the corridor. She took a look at the people in the paintings. They all seemed to look like military officers.
The room closest to the living room is the kitchen, which seems to be more spacious than the living room. It is about sixty to seventy square meters. Lei Lanting walked to the electric stove and tried to turn on the switch. With a "bang" sound There was a muffled sound full of metallic texture, and the eyes of the pot-bellied stove began to slowly turn red.
Lei Lanting then tried the other three stove eyes, and they all worked normally. He nodded with satisfaction.
"Come here and take a look at this." Tong Lele waved to him, and Lei Lanting quickly walked to the oven, gently pulled down the oven door, looked inside, and sighed: "This oven is really big, let alone the roast duck. Yes, even roasting a wild boar is fine with me."
The two of them looked around. There were stacks of exquisite porcelain in the cupboard next to the oven. The porcelain looked old, not like it was new.
The other floor of the oven is the worktop, and the cabinets below it are filled with various knives, kitchen utensils and tableware for cooking. The tools look shiny and shiny with no trace of rust. Lei Lanting took out a pair of scissors and put it into his bag.
"Hey, what are you doing with it?" Tong Lele asked strangely, "Aren't you cleaning?"
"You'll have to use scissors to find the gauze later, stupid." Lei Lanting snorted.
But the two rummaged through and found no gauze in the kitchen.
Sitting on the chair in the kitchen, Tong Lele turned around and asked: "Hey, you and Dong Qiangqiang are here to clean up. What do you need to clean? I think the living room and kitchen in this house are quite clean. There is nothing you need to clean up."
Just as Lei Lanting was about to answer, he heard a sudden "thud" sound from the ceiling above the two of them, as if something fell to the ground upstairs. The crystal chandelier on the ceiling immediately swayed from side to side, and the crystal glass pendants on the chandelier touched together lightly, making a clean and crisp sound.
The lingering sound was still echoing in the kitchen, but Tong Lele's face had turned pale, and her lips looked unusually red. Lei Lanting glanced at Tong Lele, slowly opened the cupboard, picked up a long knife and handed it to her. He picked up a boning knife with his right hand, picked up the lid of a large pot next to him with his left hand, walked out of the kitchen carefully, and walked towards the stairs on the first floor.
The corridor was unusually quiet, so quiet that only the footsteps of the two people could be heard. Lei Lanting pricked up his ears and listened carefully again, but he seemed to be unable to hear any sound from upstairs.
Tong Lele followed Lei Lanting, her hand holding the knife trembling slightly. She wanted to ask a question but didn't dare to open her mouth. Her eyes accidentally glanced at the oil painting on the wall, and she felt that the person in the painting was staring at her.
She was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and touched Lei Lanting's back lightly with her elbow. Lei Lanting turned his head slightly and was about to ask her. At this moment, there was a "bang" on the door. After closing it, the corridor instantly became dark, with only a faint orange light flashing.
The two of them stared at each other, no one said anything, and it was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
At this time, another soft sound came from upstairs, followed by a second, third, and fourth sound.
