Maybe it was because they encountered some emergency or even life-threatening situation at the time, so they left in a hurry.

Perhaps it was because they had never left the village that they were able to preserve everything in their home.

……

The bedroom in the suite was very clean, with two large beds placed on the left and right, making the room look very spacious and comfortable.

The crowd didn't find anything special here for the time being, so they left the room and went to look at other rooms.

As soon as they walked out of the east room, they heard a noise coming from the kitchen in the south.

Lu Zhou, Chen Gongxun and Yao Dong moved quickly and rushed over to check what was going on, only to find that it was just a big rat in the kitchen, walking over a pile of pots and pans, making a noise.

The mouse was probably startled by the sudden appearance of the human, and rushed out of the kitchen in a panic. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhou, who was quick-handed and quick-eyed, grabbed a big black pot and put it in the pot.

"There is a very large rat here. But ladies, please rest assured that I have it under control and will not let it scare you."

Jiang Lai twitched his lips, retracted his gaze, and began to observe other things.

There is a well between the kitchen and the bathroom, that is, in the center of the yard, behind the small building.

Perhaps because of the evening breeze, the rope hanging on the windlass above the well platform would sway from side to side from time to time. It was as if... something at the bottom of the well was pulling the rope, trying to climb out of the well.

The players checked the other rooms and found nothing unusual.

They were just about to go into the small building in the middle to find out what was going on, but unexpectedly, they heard a series of knocks on the door.

It was the village chief who brought several villagers to bring quilts to them.

Jiang Lai and the others thanked them and accepted the quilt.

Just like what happened when the village chief sent them to this courtyard before, the village chief and the two middle-aged villagers he brought with him to deliver the quilts quickly left in a hurry. It was obvious that they were trying to avoid something.

Jiang Lai and the other eight players didn't care about it. At this moment, they actually wanted the village chief and others to leave quickly so that they could continue to investigate the situation of the small wooden building in the yard.

Niu Lingling seemed very nervous, and she was even more certain in her heart that the place they were currently in was probably really an unclean haunted house!

Seeing Jiang Lai and the others distribute the bedding to the four rooms in the east, south, west and north, and then gather together and eagerly walk to the door of the small wooden building, Niu Lingling hurriedly stepped forward and stopped them, saying, "This place looks eerie. You... don't want to enter here, do you?"

"Wow! You're so smart! You actually guessed it!" Jiang Lai praised insincerely.

"Ah, I...I advise you not to enter here, right?" Niu Lingling said.

"Why?" Jiang Lai suddenly turned around and asked Niu Lingling.

Niu Lingling: ...

She was not frightened by the possible ghosts in the yard, but was frightened by Jiang Lai's sudden startle.

"Because, because it looks eerie and scary..."

Jiang Lai looked at Niu Lingling deeply. "If you have any solid evidence, everyone will listen to you. But if you don't have any evidence, I'm sorry, but please don't hinder us. After all, we will live here next, so it is necessary to eliminate the safety hazards in advance."

Niu Lingling: ...

It's not that I don't allow you to eliminate safety hazards, I'm just afraid that you will be eliminated by safety hazards.

While Jiang Lai and Niu Lingling were talking, Lu Zhou had already opened the door of the small building and was turning around to look at Jiang Lai, as if waiting for her to give orders.

Jiang Lai nodded at him, then ignored Niu Lingling and walked over there.

Seeing other people walking into the small building one after another, Niu Lingling didn't dare to stay in the yard alone, so she gritted her teeth and followed them.

After entering the door, everyone discovered that the small building was obviously an embroidery building, which was the residence of the young ladies from wealthy families in the old times.

The furnishings in the house were simple and quaint. On the sandalwood carved embroidered screen, fine stitches could be vaguely seen. It was embroidered with a picture of landscapes, flowers and birds, depicting the former elegance and grace of a lady from a noble family.

In the center of the second floor of the embroidery building, there is a large vermilion bed with bed curtains embroidered with peonies, which looks elegant and luxurious.

Beside the bed, there was only a porcelain vase with a few dried branches of plum blossoms that had long since withered and died, exuding an indescribable sense of desolation.

The weirdness of this embroidery building lies not in its furnishings but in its atmosphere.

The paintings on the wall seemed to be trembling slightly and whispering.

In the dark night, the windows of the embroidered building are like a pair of eyes, spying on every intruder in the darkness.

The room in the embroidery building seemed to have a time that belonged only to it, and every moment seemed to last as long as a century.

Under the light of the flashlights that Jiang Lai and the others brought out, the embroidery stitches seemed to have life. At first glance, they seemed to be flowing faintly, telling the world about the forgotten past.

After a closer look, it was still again, as if the scene I saw before was just an illusion of the eyes.

The most chilling thing is the bathtub full of water in the bathroom in the building.

Occasionally, ripples would appear on the water surface, as if something was swimming slowly in the water, making people think of those unfathomable lakes, or dark swamps, or... the well in the yard.

Every inch of space in the embroidery building is filled with weirdness and fear, making people dare not set foot in it easily.

Here, time seems to slow down, and every breath is filled with fear of the unknown and nostalgia for the past.

After Xiao Ai's reminder, Jiang Lai quickly discovered the problem with the small building.

"There's something wrong with the structure of this small building. If I'm not mistaken, there might be a secret room here." Jiang Lai whispered to Lu Zhou and Li Wei, "Tell the others about this. Tomorrow, leave two people to hold Niu Lingling back, and the rest of you go into the small building and see if you can find the secret room."

According to the rooms they were assigned, Jiang Lai, Li Wei and Niu Lingling will rest in the same room tonight, which is the largest east wing.

Next, Lu Zhou and Chen Gongxun lived in the south wing, Meng Fanchen and Zhen Zhen lived in the west wing, and Yao Dong and Hu Zhiguo lived in the north wing.
