Today I am an NPC in an escape game

Chapter 16 Magic Mirror 15
Ren Qing didn't think much about it, anyway, there was only one thought in her mind, to follow the wine and have meat!
Her family's wine is very powerful, so she doesn't need to waste her brain and energy, just look at how Jiu Jiu does it, anyway, Jiu Jiu will not abandon her anyway.

In the yard, Zhang Mingyi was enthusiastically eating peach cakes on the plate and reading a book of poems intently. Next to her, Gu Yanqing was leaning on a chair with her eyes closed to relax, which felt very comfortable.

Rounding a pond, the two of them walked softly and slowly on the path paved with round cobblestones. Ren Qing looked at Madam Liu's back and suddenly gave a "tsk".

"Jiujiu, her hair is so weird."

Su Tao looked at the back of Nanny Liu's head.

The nearly silver-gray hair was simply tied into a bun, fixed with a simple wooden hairpin, and finally wrapped with a three-finger-wide grass-green hairband from the top of the hair to the back of the head, meticulously.

When Su Tao saw Grandma Liu yesterday, her hair was also like this, without any change.

"Normal hair, what's so strange?" Su Tao knew that Ren Qing was careful and could detect some problems that she hadn't noticed.

"Jiujiu, look at my hair." Ren Qing shook his head, "What did you find?"

Both Su Tao and Ren Qing combed the standard double flat bun. The top of the hair was divided into two equal strands and combed into a symmetrical bun.Relatively hanging on both sides, the long hair at the back hangs directly behind.

"The hair is a little frizzy and a little bit broken."

Ren Qingsha pursed his lips and nodded, "That's right, yours is too, but Grandma Liu's hair is different. It's combed too smoothly, as if it's smeared It’s like hairspray, and it’s a bit fake.”

"But even in ancient times, they must have something that can be sorted out, such as water shavings or something."

"Really?" Ren Qing looked at Nanny Liu again, still a little suspicious.

Su Tao touched Ren Qing's head, "Let's finish the task first."

But Nanny Liu didn't know what was going on, the two of them stood behind her, she kept the same movements just now as if she didn't notice at all, and looked quietly at Zhang Mingyi who was not far away.

Su Tao took a step forward, stretched out her hand and patted Nanny Liu on the shoulder, and shouted, "Mommy Liu."

Then it's wonderful-

Nanny Liu turned around abruptly, her eyes widened in horror, and she saw that Su Tao and Ren Qing hadn't spoken for a long time, like a thief whose secret had been discovered, and she couldn't recover for a while.

At this time, Su Tao just wanted to say: ah hey, isn't it too late to react now?

Su Tao was speechless for a few seconds before breaking the awkward atmosphere, "Mother Liu, we need red silk."

Grandma Liu also came to her senses at this time, she looked at the two people in front of her very warily, after a few breaths, she slowly curled the corners of her mouth again, and said slowly: "Follow me."

Ren Qing looked at her gloomy expression and instantly got a lot of goosebumps. She rubbed her shoulders and stood behind Su Tao. Looking at Grandma Liu's stiff steps, she tightened her grip on Su Tao's clothes.

"Let's go." Su Tao gently patted the back of Ren Qing's hand, giving her a lot of comfort.

Nanny Liu led them through the long pavilion clinging to the wisteria flowers, and after walking for half a stick of incense, she finally stopped.

In front of everyone is a utility room.

Nanny Liu went up the third flight of stairs and pushed the door open.

A burst of unpleasant smell rushed over in an instant.

Su Tao frowned, subconsciously protecting Ren Qing behind her.

Ren Qing couldn't do it anymore, she couldn't help nausea for a while, and suppressed the strong discomfort in her heart, she covered her mouth and nose.

"Mommy, what does it smell like?"

The rotten smell that has settled for a long time, but with the freshest rusty smell.

This smell is especially like going to the vegetable market that has been open for many years in the morning. The smell of selling meat there is tolerable, but the smell coming out of this room is dozens of times heavier than that, and they just stood there. Outside, I haven’t been inside yet.

Nanny Liu turned around with a smile on her lips and never let it go. "It smells like the paint on the red silk." She tilted her head, seemingly puzzled, "What's wrong with you? The smell is not very good. Is it fragrant?"

Xiang... What a fart!

Su Tao looked at Ren Qing, who was not looking well behind him, and said to Madam Liu, "Can you give us the red silk?"

Madam Liu mechanically shook her head, "There are too many red silks, two people are needed."

"No, I'm enough alone."

Su Tao turned around, "Stay away, I'll take it out for some air."

"Hey Jiujiu." Ren Qing pursed her lips and said after a while: "Be careful."

"Ah."

Su Tao touched Ren Qing's head, turned around and went in.

The further you walked in, the stronger the smell became, and people who were almost smoked could not breathe, Su Tao frowned slightly, without any major expression fluctuations, she turned to look at Nanny Liu, and asked, "Where is the thing? "

Nanny Liu raised her hand and pointed to the two large baskets piled up in the corner, full of red silk.

Su Tao walked straight over, and as soon as she bent over, the overwhelming strong smell hit, Su Tao held her breath, and began to pull out a large basket with one hand.

The room was dark, Su Tao could only see bright red.

It took some effort for Su Tao to pull out the two full baskets. After leaving the door, she realized that the color seemed darker than before.

Seeing Su Tao dragging the red silk out, Mammy Liu immediately closed the door, as if there was some treasure inside.

Ren Qing happily came to Su Tao's side, but quickly covered his nose, with disgust on his face, "What does this smell like?!"

Nanny Liu stared fixedly at Ren Qing, she opened her mouth but did not make a sound——

"It's delicious! It's delicious!" Ren Qing realized that what she just said was wrong, and the system's reminder made her vigilant, so she immediately changed her words.

Nanny Liu looked down at the two baskets on the ground, and said, "The red silk is here. Before the lights are turned off at night, all the corridors in the front and rear courtyards will be hung with red silk."

"Yes."

After Madam Liu gave instructions, her eyes flicked back and forth between Su Tao and Ren Qing, as if looking at some kind of joke plaything, and finally she showed a weird smile and left.

"Jiujiu, what kind of red silk is this! How long have you kept it for such a strong smell?" Ren Qing frowned deeply, unable to take another step forward.

Su Tao's gaze shifted from Nanny Liu to the basket, "The paint on the red silk is weird, like, like blood that has dried up for a long time."

Ren Qing was so frightened that her voice trembled, "Jiujiu, don't scare me~~"

"I didn't scare you, look."

Su Tao raised her chin, and kept her eyes fixed on the space between the door and the basket, where there was a light red drag mark that was not deep or shallow, just enough for people to see but not noticeable.

When Ren Qing saw it, he retreated in his heart, but he still stiffened his neck and went forward to take a closer look. Then, with a mournful face, he turned his head and nestled in Su Tao's arms, "Wine and wine are blood, and the red silk is dyed with blood. Red……"
