The whole room became sluggish.
Xiechen rubbed his eyes. The hunger in his stomach and the exhaustion of his body made him wonder if his eyes were hallucinating.
The embroidered shoes in front of me had obviously disappeared before.
This can only happen again inexplicably?
Xie Chen felt a little dazed for a moment.
The embroidered shoes under the bed suddenly changed from two pairs to one pair, as if someone took them out and put them on their feet.
He sat on the head of the bed and swung his feet.
Xie Chen also felt dizzy while his shoes were shaking.
Although this scene was terrifying, for Xie Chen, who had seen so much, he was already a bit calm.
The pair of embroidered shoes just swayed in front of him, swinging back and forth very regularly.
Xie Chen stared at it with squinted eyes, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to have dropped to freezing point.
Just when Xie Chen stood there and calmed down for a while, he was ready to approach tentatively.
The embroidered shoes in front of me suddenly disappeared, but then there was a clang sound as they fell to the ground.
Xie Chen's eyesight went dark immediately.
I don't know if it's because my feet are unsteady or because the whole room is shaking.
Xie Chen held his head and leaned against the table.
Not only did my head begin to hurt severely, but my chest also began to feel tight.
A black shadow stretched longer and longer on the wall of the room, and without Xie Chen noticing, it tore and swallowed the shadow behind it.
At this moment, the whole room rang with an even more violent trembling sound, making Xie Chen's physical condition worse and worse.
For some reason, a message suddenly appeared in Xiechen's head.
[Rule 7. 】
[The room is not necessarily safe. Please pay attention to your own safety when resting in the room. 】
Xie Chen wanted to move to open the door, but found that his feet were numb and even exerting force became very difficult.
If he hadn't been holding on to the table now, he would have fallen to the ground.
But even so, Xie Chen still lay directly on the ground.
Trying to roll towards the door.
This is not a solution within a solution.
Just as Xie Chen was lying on the ground, a huge and strange smiling face appeared on the ceiling of the room.
"Where are we going?"
It was as if Xie Chen's throat was being strangled. Even if he wanted to answer, he couldn't say a word.
He had no choice but to turn around and ignore that face, grab his right hand on the leg of the bookcase, and use his strength to pull it up.
Then it started to move slightly.
But just such a simple action had already consumed a lot of Xie Chen's energy.
Even though he forced himself not to look at that grimace, he still focused all his attention on the ceiling of the room.
There didn't seem to be any unusual movements coming from above. Apart from the weird smiling face he saw just now, Xie Chen hadn't noticed any physical creatures appearing.
Could it be that that smiling face did what he said just now and put on those embroidered shoes?
A trace of doubt flashed through Xie Chen's heart, but in the end he put it behind him.
Because after struggling to get up, he had already placed the palm of his right hand on the door handle again.
There was a squeak.
The door to the room was opened by himself again.
When Xie Chen leaned toward the door, there seemed to be a huge attraction in the room, pulling him toward the door.
Although Xie Chen's legs were weak, facing the threat to his life that could come at any time in the room, he still struggled to drag himself toward the door.
"Where are you going?"
That vague voice once again asked Xie Chen, and this time the cold air contained in it was even stronger, enough to make people shiver all over.
But Xie Chen still didn't dare to stop and pay attention to it.
As his breathing became more and more difficult, Xiechen's eyes began to become dull.
The gurgling sound coming from his stomach was enough to prove that Xie Chen was at the end of his physical strength.
"Don't go, don't go..."
"Would you please stay with me? It's really scary here..."
"I don't dare, I really don't dare to stay here."
"Mom, I miss you..."
Just when Xie Chen's consciousness was almost confused, the sounds coming from the room dragged Xie Chen back to the edge of consciousness.
It turns out that there were people imprisoned in this room before.
Who could it be...
Xiechen, who had no energy now, couldn't solve this doubt immediately even if he wanted to.
In the end, Xiechen, who was exhausted, fell heavily at the door.
A bang sounded throughout the first floor of the ancient house, and the movement was not small at all.
But even in this situation, Xie Chen still had half of his body in the room.
"Don't go, stay with me."
The ethereal voice did not disappear, but sounded again the moment Xie Chen fell.
Following that, Xie Chen slowly moved into the room bit by bit.
Being slowly dragged in step by step by the things in the room.
A burst of hurried footsteps followed the corridor of the ancient house.
The speed at which Xie Chen was dragged into the room stopped.
A figure stopped at the corner in front of Xie Chen's room.
It seems that he is looking this way.
"Uncle?"
"Why are you lying on the ground?"
Seeing no reaction from anyone in Xie Chen, the maid immediately ran to Xie Chen's side and leaned down to check.
The uncle in front of him seemed to have no other serious problems except that his face was a little pale.
Seeing that Xie Chen's chest was still rising and falling, the maid breathed a sigh of relief and dragged Xie Chen to the side and sat down against the wall.
"Uncle? Uncle?"
"Wake up quickly."
"What happened?"
After being shaken violently by the maid, Xie Chen slowly opened his eyes.
His expression was no longer as uncomfortable as when he was in the room before.
Seeing Xie Chen open his eyes, the maid's anxious face softened slightly.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Chen's eyes were a little confused.
After staring blankly at the maid for a while, he finally came to his senses and said, "I'm starving to death. Is there anything to eat?"
Seeing Xie Chen looking for food, the maid immediately dug out two pieces of bread from the pockets of her clothes and handed them to Xie Chen.
"Uncle, are these enough?"
After Xie Chen saw the food, his eyes immediately shone brightly.
After taking the bread handed over by the maid, he started to eat it hungrily.
Seeing that Xie Chen was eating in such a hurry, the maid also said worriedly: "You eat first, and I will get you a glass of water."
…
After finishing the food, Xie Chen slowly regained some energy.
After drinking a glass of water brought by the maid, he slowly stood up.
"Do you have any other instructions? Uncle."
When the maid on the side said this, Xie Chen nodded.
"Can you take me to the old steward's room?"
"I need to discuss with him the main wedding matters."
The maid smiled slightly.
"No problem, the old steward's room is not far away. Please come with me."
Talking about the main matters of arranging a wedding is actually a lie.
Xie Chen still hasn't figured out how the wedding will be held.
Again.
He didn't even understand the specific process of this kind of Chinese wedding.
The reason why I ask this is just to seize the time and check out other rooms in the ancient house.
If you want to pass the copy safely, the amount of information you have now is too little, and you need to at least find out more information.
"Uncle, it's just ahead."
"But I don't know if Old Fifth Uncle has gone out."
"I'll go over and ask you now."
The maid on the side was talking as she walked towards the old steward's room.
Xie Chen grabbed her arm, shook his head and said, "No, I'll just go over and take a look myself. You can go and do other things first."
Seeing Xie Chen's instructions, the maid also nodded.
"OK."
After seeing the maid leave, Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He had never wanted to disturb the old steward from the beginning.
It is enough to observe secretly by yourself.
Xie Chen stepped forward very gently, and even when the soles of his feet landed on the ground, he didn't make any sound.
Xie Chen walked slowly toward the door of the old steward's room.
There was a faint light in the room, but no one could be seen near the window.
Could it be that he was sleeping?
This shouldn't be possible.
After all, as the manager of a house, there is basically no possibility of sleeping in broad daylight.
Once something happens, not only the maids and servants, but also the master's family will have to call on him.
The reason why Xie Chen wanted to start exploring these rooms.
In fact, the most important thing is because the rules clearly state that you must keep everyone's room in mind.
This kind of conformity made Xie Chen feel that the rules were just to protect something.
The things hidden in these rooms may very well be the key to what you need most.
But in fact, this matter is not that difficult.
The rules also require you to break down the words yourself.
As long as there is something that he can't figure out, Xie Chen is afraid that there will be a time when even his pocket watch can't save him.
Just using my own room as a reference, the risk factor is no longer the same as the scene.
Like mother-in-law, the bride in red.
This kind of tangible threat can be figured out after seeing it for a long time.
The kind of paper matchmaker that can change everywhere, at least there are traces to follow.
But Xie Chen had no idea what the strange rumors in the room were and what that weird smiling face was.
Can't find any solution.
You must know that when it appeared, the pocket watch in the pocket didn't even respond at all.
Xie Chen slowly approached the old steward's room and followed step by step to the window.
Because the window is not opened high, if you want to see the situation inside through the window, you have to bend half of your legs desperately.
Xie Chen also pressed against the wall with great difficulty, doing this action sideways.
When he gently leaned his eyes towards the window, his whole face fell down.
The window in the old steward's room was nailed shut with a piece of breathable cloth from the inside.
Wanting to see the scene clearly from the outside is simply wishful thinking.
Xie Chen stopped this funny action and looked helpless.
Just when he was about to give up temporarily and go take a look at the maids' rooms, his eyes suddenly lit up again.
At the door of the old steward's room, a little light shined through the crack in the door.
As long as there is light, it proves that there is still something to be done.
It's not a big problem for the manager to stick a needle or something.
Xie Chen bent down again and walked slowly over, his footsteps lighter than before, for fear of disturbing the old guy inside.
After a few breaths, Xie Chen came to the door of the room.
There is an extremely obvious grip mark on the door handle.
But the facade is not that old.
From this alone, we can see how many times a day the old steward in the room is called upon.
Xie Chen didn't have time to pay attention to this. After squinting one eye, he walked towards the crack in the door.
Under the dim light in the room, the scene was a little blurry.
Even if Xie Chen struggled to look inside, he could barely see the content clearly.
A wooden bed and a desk.
The things above are arranged neatly.
a photo.
Black and White.
It hung blankly on the wall, looking lonely.
Xie Chen was a little confused and moved closer again.
Because the content of the photo was very blurry.
There seems to be another photo below the photo.
It's a little closer, and the photo looks much newer than the one above.
But after seeing it clearly, Xie Chen became a little uneasy.
The brand new photo was of a bride with a smile and tender lips.
The smile on his face was filled with this look of happiness.
And this bride is his fiancée.
? ? ?
Xie Chen's heart is full of question marks now.
What kind of operation is this?
No matter what, it's not the old steward's turn to hang his wife's wedding photos in his room, right?
Is it possible that after looking at the photo above, you can combine it and find some clues?
With this question in mind, Xie Chen stood up on tiptoes and searched for a larger gap along the entire door gap.
Right now.
Xiechen suddenly held his breath.
There were two hands stretched out on one side of the bed, as if stretching.
People are getting out of bed.
But Xie Chen was still unwilling to give in. He had to see clearly the content of that photo.
The next second.
The expression on Xie Chen's face was stiff, and even his whole body was a little stiff.
The man who got off the bed smoothed his white cheongsam with his hands.
Then he sat in front of the desk and tied up his hair.
How could it be her?
After Xie Chen reacted, he immediately turned around and left.
A hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
A hoarse voice spoke immediately.
"Uncle?"
"What are you looking at here alone?"
