Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Chapter 697 The Young Lady and the Repairman (27)

The mysterious footprints in the house, the illusory wedding room hidden behind the wall, and the long night that seems to never see the light of day, all of these suggest that it is unnatural forces that are at work.

Shi Li discovered the bridal chamber by accident. He was almost unable to get out. Thanks to his good luck, he met Luo Xuan just by chance and was able to save his life.

When it comes to life, Shi Li has a more obsessive sense of survival than ordinary people, and he is willing to do anything to survive. That's why he has always been so "naive" to call Luo Xiao "father", even though he knows that Luo Xiao has no affection for him at all. As long as he can survive, what does it matter even if he recognizes a thief as his father?

Lan Ge is a local, and of course he has heard a lot of weird things about Minghu Manor. He swallowed nervously, "Is there really a ghost?"

Otherwise, there is no reason to explain why Shi Li discovered the mysterious wedding room, and there is no reason to explain why they were trapped here.

Shi Li speculated, "If there really is a ghost, are the people in the lake coming out frequently to look for him because they are dissatisfied with his wife moving away after his death?"

Lan Ge continued, "If that's the case, Mr. Luo must know something. What's his purpose in keeping us in this manor?"

When saying this, Lan Ge took another look at Luo Xuan.

The expression on Luo Xuan's face did not reveal what she was thinking. Even though she had a premonition that she was the one who was left behind, she did not show any disbelief or pain.

Maybe she had long been accustomed to not having any hope in the men around her.

This is the case with her fiancé Xiao Beichen and her father Luo Xiao.

For her, her mother is the most important person.

Her mother is the eldest daughter of the Cheng family and of course a proud woman. She would tolerate Luo Xiao bringing back his illegitimate daughter and turn a blind eye to Luo Xiao's extramarital affair, but it was also for Luo Xuan.

Cheng Li must protect Luo Xuan. Every bit of the Luo family's property belongs to Luo Xuan, and she will not allow anyone else to take it away.

The sound of light footsteps came slowly. Every time they landed, the soil made a sticky sound. The danger in the darkness seemed to become concrete. As the sound got closer, the air became more humid and breathing gradually became difficult.

The blue dove said, "Run!"

When I looked back again, Shi Li had already grabbed Luo Xuan's hand and ran away.

They could not see the terrifying figure, but they could hear the footsteps chasing them. In the face of unnatural forces, human power seemed so insignificant.

They were surrounded by an undercurrent of oppression. If they walked even a little slower, they would be the next to have their necks broken.

The moment the humid air invaded, the sound of fleeing footsteps became heavier.

Seeing that the black figure behind them was gradually becoming clearer, Lan Ge said quickly: "I'll lead him away, you guys hide quickly!"

"Wait!" Before Luo Xuan could finish her sentence, Shi Li dragged her into a room.

Lan Ge looked at the door that was ruthlessly closed, and couldn't help but complain in his heart that Shi Li, this brat, was really quick and decisive. He didn't even have the slightest gratitude for his heroic sacrifice, and it would be fine if he even pretended to be moved.

In the room, Luo Xuan shook off Shi Li's hand and said, "If you leave him outside alone, he will die!"

"Since he wants to be a hero, we have to respect his choice." Shi Li said, "Big sister, I will accompany you to remember him in the future. During the Qingming Festival, we can go and burn incense for him together."

Luo Xuan had never seen someone like Shi Li. Even a selfish person would be a bit hypocritical and disguise himself as something dignified. However, Shi Li was too lazy to even pretend. He did not hide his badness at all and did not have any correct values.

Luo Xuan suddenly asked: "Whose room is this?"

Shi Li also realized that something was wrong with the surrounding environment.

The furniture arrangement in this room is very similar to the wedding room he had seen before, except that this room is smaller than that room. However, the appearance of this room is different from retro, but has a real old style. Judging from the things on the dressing table, this is a woman's room.

Hanging on the wall was a white silk wedding dress, but in this day and age, this style of wedding dress has long been eliminated.

Luo Xuan suddenly thought of it, "After great grandfather died, great grandmother moved out of the bridal chamber. This must be the room she lived in before."

The time in the manor seemed to be messed up. They just walked into a room casually and ended up stepping into another time and space.

Luo Xuan had no time to be afraid, nor did she have time to explore whether the unreasonable things happening before her had a reasonable answer. She just thought that maybe she could find a way to deal with the people in the lake and save her mother.

Shi Li watched Luo Xuan searching through the drawers and he suddenly understood what was going on. While Luo Xuan was rummaging through the closet, he was rummaging through the drawers of the table.

After a while, Luo Xuan found a wooden box in the cabinet. "It's locked. I can't open it."

Shi Li came over and squatted beside her, "Lend me a hairpin."

Luo Xuan looked at him suspiciously and took off a black hairpin from her head.

Shi Li inserted the tip of the hairpin into the keyhole. I don't know how he did it, but after a while, there was a "click" and the lock opened.

Luo Xuan asked in surprise: "How do you know how to unlock the door?"

"I learned this when I was hungry and had nothing to eat as a child." Shi Li returned the hairpin to Luo Xuan, an innocent smile on his young face, and there was no sign that he had ever had a life of hunger and cold.

Luo Xuan avoided his gaze, pinned the hairpin back into her hair, opened the wooden box, and inside were letters.

She picked up a letter at random and opened it. The handwriting on the page was vigorous and powerful.

[Lan Ya, I heard that your family intends to marry you into the Luo family. This news is like a bolt from the blue to me. I know that I am just a fellow and not worthy of you, but please wait for me for a while. I have decided to join the army. I will definitely come back with military merits and marry you openly! ]

The final signature is: Wangsheng.

There are more than ten letters here, almost all of which were written by a man named Wang Sheng to Lan Ya. Luo Xuan classified them according to time. It can be said that she witnessed Wang Sheng's affection for Lan Ya growing step by step, until the end, when Wang Sheng said that he was going to join the army.
