Mu Jingchen stopped what he was doing.

"Go to that homestay?"

"Ah."

She took a piece of pastry and said, "The B&B has been searched by the police several times, and it has been unsealed. Anyway, no one lives there. Let's say hello to my mother-in-law, and she should agree."

"also."

In this situation, it is much better to go back to a familiar place than to go out and hit a wall.

What's more, Liyue's body is getting heavier and heavier, and it is not suitable for running around.

"Liyue, then you rest here first, I'll come back as soon as I go."

"it is good."

Huangfu Liyue nodded.

After he left, she continued to eat, and a table of pastries was wiped out by her in a short while.

……

Mu Jingchen came to Meng Gang's temporary office and met the old woman.

When the old lady learned that he and Huangfu Liyue wanted to go back to live in the homestay, she readily agreed.

In the evening, Mu Jingchen took Huangfu Liyue back to the hotel.

No one has lived here for more than ten days, and a sense of stuffiness hits the face as soon as you enter the door.

Mu Jingchen opened the window for ventilation and turned on the lights in the house.

This homestay is an old house, which looks older than other buildings in the ancient town. The facilities in the house are very old, and even the lighting is dim yellow from many years ago.

After turning on the lights, although the outline of the entire room can be seen clearly, there is still a dark feeling.

However, they lived here before, and they didn't feel uncomfortable, but a sense of familiarity.

"Jingchen, let's stay in the room we used to live in."

"Well, I'll take the luggage up, and I'll call you after I pack it."

Mu Jingchen was meticulous, before going upstairs to tidy up the room, he wiped the dust off the wooden bench with a paper towel.

"Liyue, sit here and rest for a while."

Seeing her sit down, he carried his luggage upstairs to pack it.

Huangfu Liyue looked at his back, feeling warm in her heart.

During this trip, she saw in him the sense of security and responsibility as a husband, which made her feel like she would have no regrets in marrying him.

While he was cleaning up the room, she couldn't sit still at all, so she got up and wandered around the house.

The facilities in the house are nothing special, the most eye-catching thing is the statue on the altar.

It looks like a Buddha statue, but with a ferocious face, which is quite different from ordinary Buddha statues, which makes people feel chills on their backs.

Huangfu Liyue stared at the statue for a long time, always feeling cold behind her.

No wonder the neighbors said that the old lady worshiped ghosts, but judging from the face of the statue, it really didn't look like a Buddha, but more like a ghost temple.

Fortunately, she has seen this statue many times, otherwise, she would be easily frightened in this dark environment.

Thinking of the old woman's worship from morning to night, she picked up three sticks of incense and lit them, inserting them into the incense stand.

"Liyue, the room has been tidied up, you can come up."

As soon as she inserted the incense into the incense stand, Mu Jingchen's call came from upstairs.

"coming!"

She responded, released the incense offering and went upstairs.

After she left, a cool breeze blew in from the window, the incense offerings were extinguished, and all of them fell on the altar table.

……

After the two washed up, they quickly turned off the lights and fell asleep.

The first half of the night was quiet as usual, but in the second half of the night, something seemed to be stirring in the house...

The cool wind blew open the window and entered the bed of the two of them. Huangfu Liyue felt the coldness and retracted her hands into the blanket.

But the wind at night was so strong that the windows swung back and forth and creaked.

Huangfu Liyue was a light sleeper and was soon woken up.

Hearing the creaking sound of the old wooden window, she subconsciously looked at the window.

In the dark environment, she could see the windows wide open, sometimes closed, sometimes opened.

She wanted to get out of bed and close the window, but the bed was against the wall, and she was sleeping on the inside, so she needed to step over Mu Jingchen to get out of bed, which was inconvenient.

After thinking about it, she thought that he was tired from moving during the day, so she decided not to wake him up.

She closed her eyes, ready to block out the sounds.

But the more you try to shield it, the more the voice lingers in your ears.

She tried for several minutes without success falling asleep.

"call……"

She opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

If the window is not closed, she will not be able to sleep tonight.

She sat up slowly, gently lifted the corner of the quilt, and was about to step over him to close the window.

At this moment, a white shadow flashed outside the window.

She raised her head and found nothing unusual.

But just now, Yu Guangming saw it.

She frowned, thinking, who is deliberately scaring people in the middle of the night?

The drowsiness was gone, she stepped over Mu Jingchen, just wanting to find out.

window.

The cold wind made her shrink her neck.

She poked her head out and looked out the window.

After observing for a while, I saw nothing.

She rubbed her temples, wondering if she was hallucinating due to nervousness.

After finding nothing, he closed the window.

Leaning her back against the window, she calmed down and prepared to go back to sleep.

But at this time, intermittent crying suddenly came from my ear, which seemed far away but seemed near.

When she opened the window to observe, the crying stopped suddenly.

She stood at the window, puzzled.

Mu Jingchen noticed that the person beside him was not there, stood up vigilantly, and turned on the light in the room.

"Liyue, what's wrong?"

"Did I wake you up?"

She has been careful, but unexpectedly he still woke up.

"The window was blown open by the wind just now, I got up and closed the window."

He stepped forward to close the window and led her to the bedside.

"Next time something like this happens, just wake me up."

She went to bed, he covered her with the quilt, and turned off the light.

Seeing him lying down, she stopped talking, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

……

The night passed.

When Huangfu Liyue woke up, the seat beside her was already empty.

"Jing Chen?"

She sat up and looked around, but he was nowhere to be seen.

After changing her clothes, she went downstairs.

No one lives here except them, she walks in the corridor, it looks extraordinarily empty and quiet.

She searched around, and finally came to the kitchen smelling the aroma.

Mu Jingchen was holding the cookbook in his hand, and was looking through it intently.

She walked in, looked at the chicken soup in the jar, and asked in surprise, "Where did you get the ingredients?"

He replied lightly, "Of course I bought it."

"You still deal with these things?"

"will not."

He said very honestly: "Pay some money for someone to deal with it, and then bring it back and cook it."

"..."

She looked at the messy shallots cut on the cutting board: "Actually, you don't have to do these yourself. It's not like there's no place to eat here."

He put down the recipe and dumped shallots into the soup.

"You can't rest assured that you can do it yourself. It's hard to get this kind of opportunity. You still don't let me show it well."

He poured the soup into a bowl with jerky movements and brought it in front of her: "Try it, I've stewed it for more than an hour."

She blew on it, and took a big sip to save face.

"How about it?"

Seeing his expectant gaze, she burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at, tell me, what's going on?"

"It seems that there is no salt..."
