When they regained consciousness, they were all behind the bloody wooden door.
Everyone was separated in a group of beautiful villas in the suburbs.
What's strange is that although it is extremely exquisitely built, it looks lifeless.
After Ning Qiushui passed through several villas, he confirmed that there was no one in the villas here.
It was eerily quiet.
"Is it uninhabited, or have they all gone out to work?"
Ning Qiushui carefully observed the villas here and seemed to have discovered something.
"wrong……"
"The garden shows signs of recent pruning, there are goldfish in the pond, and there are some commonly used tools in the yard... Someone should live here."
"But...where have all these people gone?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Ning Qiushui's heart and she continued to walk forward.
Soon, he saw the villa that the mission required to enter.
This is not difficult to identify.
Because in the entire villa group, this one was the only one with people standing outside.
She is a beautifully dressed woman with luxurious clothes and a suitcase.
She wore a sunhat, a small red flower, and held a young girl, about eight or nine years old, standing in the yard under the not too hot sunshine, looking at the people who came here with a smile.
The woman had a beautiful smile, and she was the kind of wife who became more and more beautiful the more she looked at her. But for some reason, when Ning Qiushui looked at the woman's smile, she always felt... a chill in her back.
That smile doesn't seem like welcoming guests, but more like...
Just when Ning Qiushui was lost in thought, a big hand patted Ning Qiushui on the shoulder.
Ning Qiushui was startled, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Liu Chengfeng with a beard.
"Brother, are you here too?"
Ning Qiushui nodded.
"Well, it looks like that villa is where we are going."
Liu Chengfeng glanced at the villa from a distance, his expression became more solemn, he counted with his fingers and murmured:
"broken……"
Ning Qiushui's eyes lit up when she saw him like this:
"Can you tell fortunes?"
Liu Chengfeng shook his head.
"Outside, I do tell people's fortunes...but I just remembered that I don't know how to tell fortunes, I'm just a magician."
Ning Qiushui's breathing stagnated.
Numb.
This guy is really... a classic within a classic.
You tell too many lies and you start to believe them, right?
besides……
Why can you say this kind of thing so confidently?
"never mind……"
Ning Qiushui shook her head helplessly and walked directly towards the villa where the young woman was located in the distance.
Someone has already arrived here first.
The mistress of the villa did not speak to them, but gave them an official smile.
This kind of smile is lukewarm. When they talk to the hostess, the hostess will only reply:
"Please wait a moment, there are still a few caregivers who haven't come yet."
After about ten minutes, the seven people finally arrived.
At this time, as if a certain condition had been triggered, the hostess, who could only smile all the time, suddenly spoke to several people and said:
"Is everyone here?"
"I'm really sorry for asking everyone to come and take care of my mother. It's just that my husband has gone out to work and I want to take my daughter to the beach for her birthday. There is really no one at home..."
"Because my mother is old, she is not only paralyzed in bed, but also has severe mental deterioration. I was worried that the two or three caregivers might not be able to take good care of her, so I simply hired all of them from the company..."
"As for money, you don't have to worry, I'm not short of money."
"When I come back...if mother takes good care of you, I will pay you individually."
As she spoke, she led everyone closer to the villa, entered the second floor of the villa, and came to the spacious room.
The lighting in the room is not very good.
Inside... there's a not-so-pleasant smell.
On the big bed by the window of the room, an old man with a kind face was lying, looking at Ning Qiushui and others peacefully.
There was a weird smile on her face that was hard to detect, giving everyone a feeling of... hairs standing on end.
"This is my mother..."
After the woman introduced everyone, she came to the old woman's side and squatted down, saying affectionately:
"Mom, I'm going to take you to the beach to celebrate your birthday. I've found seven caregivers just for you. They will take care of you for these five days..."
After she finished speaking, she leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered something.
Then the woman stood up, looked at everyone, and said with a smile:
"Although my mother is paralyzed in bed and has some Alzheimer's disease, she can understand some simple words. Moreover, my mother is in generally good health, has no other diseases, and has a good appetite... Oh, by the way, I haven't taken any food with me yet. Everyone has been to the kitchen.”
As she spoke, she led everyone downstairs to the kitchen of the villa.
The kitchen is also very large, with all the kitchen utensils on the table, all cleaned very clean.
To the left of the kitchen entrance, there are two huge refrigerators.
"Summer has entered here, and the rainy season is coming soon. The heavy rains here are terrible. There may be strong winds and heavy rains in the next three to five days. It will be very inconvenient to buy vegetables and meat..."
The woman said, opening one of the large refrigerators, revealing the meat and vegetables stuffed inside, and smiled at everyone:
"But don't worry."
"I have prepared enough food and water for you..."
"Besides...my mother doesn't like to eat vegetables. When you usually cook for her, just cook more meat."
After the woman finished speaking, she did not leave with her daughter immediately, but asked everyone:
"Do you have any questions?"
Ning Qiushui was the first to speak:
"Excuse me, is there no one else living in this villa area?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly:
"Yes, actually this villa area has been built for some time, but because it is too remote, no one else lives here except us. In fact, if it weren't for my mother, we wouldn't live here... …”
After a pause, she added:
"In these five days, just treat yourselves as the owners of the villa. I have sorted out all the accommodations on the second floor for you. Then you can choose the room you like."
"But everyone, please note... you absolutely, absolutely cannot enter the third floor of the villa, do you understand?"
When she said this, the woman's expression suddenly became extremely serious.
Everyone agreed.
When the hostess saw that everyone agreed, she smiled again.
"Now that you all understand, then... I leave my mother to you!"
"Yeah, the train is leaving soon. I have to leave with my daughter first, otherwise I will miss the high-speed train..."
As she spoke, she hurried to the door in high heels, holding her daughter and suitcase and walking outside.
Ning Qiushui vaguely felt that something was not right, so she came to the window and looked at the direction in which the woman was leaving.
Just as they were getting into the car, the little girl who was being held by the woman turned her head and looked at Ning Qiushui at the window.
This glance made Ning Qiushui stay in place.
His eyesight is very good.
Therefore, Ning Qiushui clearly saw a look of...fear in the little girl's eyes!
She is scared.
What are you afraid of?
Afraid of going to the beach?
Afraid of your own mother?
Or...are they afraid of the villa where they are?
While Ning Qiushui was thinking, Liu Chengfeng, a strong man with a beard, came up to him again and said:
"What do you think? People are far away..."
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be a wife at such a young age... Not bad, not bad, the future is promising!"
