"Grandpa, do you have any guests?" Zou Yuan asked curiously.
"Who else can it be, isn't it Lao Xiao?" Grandpa Zou replied with a smile: "He just went to the backyard to pick fruits, and he should be back soon."
As he was talking, footsteps came from the backyard, and they walked around to the front of the house. When he opened the door, it was none other than the Zou family's butler, Xiao Bo.
He was holding a large pot of apples and pears in his hands. They were red and yellow, and the water was very attractive.
As soon as he saw the people in the room, Xiao Bo smiled: "Miss Yao, Miss Yuan. Why are you here?"
Xiao Bo was in his fifties and was wearing a black coat. He was not the man Tao Le had seen before.
And at this moment, there was no other sound in the courtyard, so the breathing sound that Tao Le heard just now must have come from Xiao Bo.
Could it be that she was too worried before? If that person wasn't Divine Doctor Wei, who could he be?
Tao Le fell into deep thought. Slowly, the sounds around her seemed to fade away, leaving only the sound of her own heartbeat.
Plop, plop. The heartbeats merged with the heartbeats of everyone in the room.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
There are eleven heartbeats in total.
Tao Le was horrified. Including her, there were only six people in the room. Whose were the five extra heartbeats?
Moreover, if she heard correctly, two of them have become very weak, and it seems that they will stop in a short time.
If there is a heartbeat, there must be breathing.
Tao Le calmed down and listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard the faint sound of breathing.
Like hibernating bears, these people's breathing became very slow.
Tao Le glanced calmly at the wing on the left. The door was ajar and not locked.
At this moment, Zou Yuan and the others picked up pears and apples and started eating them.
On weekdays, the two of them eat very little of this popular fruit, but now they are thirsty and tired, but they still eat it deliciously.
Zou Yao also picked a particularly red apple and handed it to Tao Le:
"Try it, it's very crispy and sweet!"
Tao Le's heart moved, but he didn't take it, but said a little weakly: "I'm a little uncomfortable. I was motion sick just now, and now I'm very dizzy."
She has seen many sick people, and she pretends to be sick very well.
"Then you go inside and rest for a while?" Zou Yao asked with concern.
"Isn't it inconvenient here?" Tao Le asked weakly, leaning on Zou Yao's shoulder.
"It's convenient, what's the inconvenience, right grandpa?" Zou Yao said quickly: "You, you didn't tell me you were motion sick earlier, you held on for so long."
When she spoke, she didn't look at Grandpa Zou, and naturally she didn't see the hesitation flashing in his eyes.
Instead, Zou Ai asked: "Dr. Tao is a doctor himself, why can't he cure such a minor problem as motion sickness?"
This time it was Xie Baoshu's turn to share his hatred with Kai: "Doctors don't heal themselves! Xiao Tao also managed to survive in order to find your grandfather early, otherwise he wouldn't have to suffer this fate!"
His tone was unkind, and what he said made sense. Zou Ai didn't say anything more, but murmured to herself: "It would be great if Divine Doctor Wei was still here. Don't talk about Doctor Tao's little problem then. Allergies can also be cured.”
As she spoke, she sneezed three times in succession.
Tao Le spoke when he heard this: "You don't need to treat your allergies."
When she entered the hospital, she saw patches of ragweed everywhere outside the fence. Although it is the end of the flowering season, there is still a lot of pollen flying.
Although the allergy caused by its pollen seemed serious at the time, it did not cause substantial physical changes. As long as you stay away from the allergen, you will be cured soon. This is also the reason why Zou Ai is obviously stronger today than yesterday.
But she ran too fast just now and obviously came into contact again, so there was a recurrence.
"It will be fine after I go back and rest for a few days."
"Okay, stop talking!" Zou Yao couldn't help but become anxious when she heard Tao Le's voice getting weaker and weaker: "I'll help you go into the house and lie down for a while!"
Seeing this, Grandpa Zou said: "Okay, Yaoyao, take your friend into the house and lie down for a while." Then he pointed at Zou Ai: "You accompany Grandpa out for a walk."
In the east wing, there is a huge carved mahogany bed, and the gauze curtain is very exquisite, not like something that should be found in this mountain wilderness.
But compared to this, Tao Le was concerned about the fact that there was no one in the room.
Not only was there no one, there wasn't even a fly.
This is really crazy. Where did the heartbeat she heard just now come from?
Tao Le glanced twice again. In addition to the bed, there was also a long desk with pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the room, and a large box.
Judging from the size of the box, even if it can fit one person, it is definitely impossible to fit five.
Zou Yao didn't notice anything strange about her. She helped Tao Le onto the bed, let her lie down, and then asked Baoshu to pour some water and bring it in.
Tao Le chased her away: "I'll just lie down for a while. You and Baoshu should also go and accompany grandpa. Don't worry about me."
Zou Yao didn't want to agree, but she refused very firmly, and found an excuse to say that she couldn't sleep if there were people in front of her, so she finally persuaded the two of them to go out.
In fact, she wasn't too worried about Zou Ai. She always felt that there was something wrong with this 130-year-old man.
She couldn't tell Zou Yao and the others about these things clearly, because people have different levels of intimacy and trust.
Just to rush up and point it out so casually, your grandfather might be an old monster, and there might be someone else in this yard, maybe it's your second uncle and his third uncle who have lost contact - who would believe it.
Her guess was reasonable. Zou Yao's second uncle, third uncle, second aunt, third aunt and one eldest brother, there are exactly five people. Grandpa Zou just said that they happened to go down the mountain and didn't meet Yun Yun. It was really a coincidence.
Zou Yao and Xie Baoshu left the house and closed the door. Tao Le heard their footsteps coming out of the door, and then he concentrated and listened carefully.
This time, she easily noticed that the sound of heartbeat and breathing came from under the floor. There is another space under this room!
Tao Le jumped up from the bed and walked around the room, looking for any secret passages.
There was nothing under the bed.
There were large peonies carved on the bedside. She pressed and twisted each one one by one, but nothing happened.
She picked up the things on the desk one by one and played with them, even the desk was lifted up by her. The same box was filled with calligraphy and painting scrolls. She searched inside and outside, but couldn't find any mechanism.
Walls, lights, floors, doors. Everywhere in the house was safe from Tao Le's vicious hands, but nothing happened.
Is it possible that there is no secret passage in this room at all?
Tao Le was about to go out and take a look when he suddenly stopped, with big beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Because at this moment, she suddenly discovered that there were only four heartbeats left under the house.
If only one person was missing, she wouldn't be so frightened.
That heartbeat was right behind her, beating loudly and powerfully.
Tao Le turned his head stiffly, but saw nothing. But a low chuckle came from behind his head.
Cold sweat flowed down her temples and into her neck.
The heating is on, and Xiaohai is alive again! ! ! Xiaohai thought of the cutest monthly ticket and you dear ones!
