The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

The flowers and plants in the backyard were neatly trimmed, the stone paths were swept clean, and at a glance there was not a single weed in the yard.

There is a wall of roses in the corner. The flowers are blooming in clusters and are extremely warm. The whole view is bright as soon as you look at it.

In front of the rose wall there was a set of stone tables and chairs, and a swing next to it.

Perhaps because it is surrounded by roads and alleys on all sides, the walls of this house are built exceptionally high, and are topped with some pointed broken porcelain pieces.

Lu Zhaoling found it quite satisfactory.

"Can these rooms be opened and taken a look?" she asked.

Uncle Zhang's face was shaking, and he was just about to say that it was enough to just take a look and it was time to leave.

"My cousin's uncle and aunt used to live here. After my cousin turned twelve, they said the east wing was more sunny, so they gave it to my cousin. The door is unlocked now, right?"

Gu Qing agreed first. When she saw the swing, she remembered the days when she and her cousin used to sit there and swing on it, and she suddenly forgot her fear.

At least it's bright here and not at all eerie.

Qingyin and Qingbao just followed Lu Zhaoling all the way without saying a word, but up to now they didn't think there was anything wrong with this house. In fact, they liked it.

It is well maintained, with good lighting, bright and clean, the flowers and trees are growing well, and the garden is beautiful, better than Lu Mansion.

Gu Qing said as he quickly walked over and opened the door.

"Hey, cousin!"

It was too late for Uncle Zhang to stop it, but he still ran over with a broom.

Lu Zhaoling had also reached the door.

She glanced inside.

There weren't many things left in the room. Even the bed had been moved away. It was empty and you could see through it at a glance.

Gu Qing felt a little embarrassed.

She hadn't expected the room to be so empty.

"My cousin borrowed a lot of money to buy a new house, so he should save as much as possible on furniture and move everything he used here out."

"Yeah, reasonable."

Lu Zhaoling didn't think it was a big deal. Buying so many pieces of furniture again would cost a huge sum of money.

However, she still went into the house and walked around.

Turning around, she saw a hanging ornament on the west wall.

The pendant was quite large. In the middle of the braided rope hung something like a sachet made of cloth. It was embroidered with flowers, plants, birds and animals, with a circle of white beads sewn along the edge and a string of tassels strung underneath.

Lu Zhaoling reached out and touched the circle of white beads. They were neither stones, jade nor pearls.

She leaned over and smelled it.

Uncle Zhang widened his eyes when he saw her action.

Ah, no, does this girl have any weird hobbies?

What's so good about that?

Gu Qing was also a little puzzled, but she did not question Lu Zhaoling's behavior. Instead, she subconsciously told her about the pendant.

"My cousin bought this at a rally. It's stuffed with some mosquito repellent herbs. I have one too."

"Hmm?" Lu Zhaoling turned around and looked at her, looking her up and down.

Gu Qing felt uneasy when he was glanced at by her.

"Is there something wrong with this pendant?"

It seems like she has been asking all day what's wrong with this and what's wrong with that.

"Qingyin, take this pendant off."

"Yes."

Qing Yin immediately stepped forward and took down the ornament, "Miss, do you want to cut it open or burn it?"

Lu Zhaoling: “…”

Her maid is so proactive now?

She couldn't help smiling.

"Take it first. Don't forget that this is someone else's thing. You have to ask the owner first."

Qing Yin blushed, "Yes."

"My cousin left this pendant behind. Maybe she doesn't want it anymore."

"It's better to deal with it in front of them." Lu Zhaoling said and turned around to walk out.

They went to several other rooms and moved most of the furniture away, leaving only some older ones that were of little value.

Lu Zhaoling also discovered that there was a very sturdy cellar and a warehouse here. The warehouse was made of blue bricks and the door was also very sturdy. She thought it was very good.

When I walked to the back door, I found a well.

There are some flat stone slabs around the well, all of which bear traces of years of life. Some of the stone slabs may have been used for washing clothes, as their surfaces are oily.

There are a few trees planted in the corner, pomegranates and mulberry trees.

"Don't come over here, let me check the well water."

If Lu Zhaoling hadn't said this, Qingbao would have gone over to explore the well.

Now after hearing her instructions, they stopped immediately, but they were still prepared so that they could rush over in time if there was any danger.

"Stop looking at it?" Uncle Zhang was now puzzled, bewildered and nervous.

He didn't dare to come to the backyard during this period. He only moved around in the front yard. He lit a small charcoal stove in the gatehouse to cook something to get by. He didn't even dare to go to the kitchen, let alone the backyard.

I had always thought something might happen during the turn, but now it's very peaceful.

But now seeing the well, he became nervous again.

Wells have always had a lot of negative energy. If there is something wrong with the house, then the well is the most evil.

"It's okay, don't come over."

Lu Zhaoling walked towards the well and looked inside.

The well was deep, but the water was still visible, and her shadow was reflected on the surface.

There was a small wooden barrel tied with a rope next to the well.

She paused, then picked up the bucket.

This won’t do!

Qingbao said quickly, "Miss, do you want to get some water? Let me do it!"

The young lady was injured so badly before, and her body hasn't recovered yet. Carrying a bucket of water is not light, it's physical work!

Also, can the lady fetch water?

Lu Zhaoling had never used this method to fetch water, so she didn't try to show off after hearing Qingbao's words.

"Well, you come and play, you don't have to play the full amount."

Qingbao hurried over to fetch water.

He threw the bucket down with a clever move, then pulled up the rope to draw water, then pulled up the rope to lift the bucket up.

She moved very skillfully and quickly filled half a bucket of water.

Uncle Zhang couldn't help but praise her, "This girl is good at work."

Gu Qing: “…”

Uncle Zhang, aren't you nervous anymore?

Uncle Zhang didn't know if it was because Lu Zhaoling remained calm and composed throughout the whole process that he was influenced by her, and now he is not as scared as before.

Lu Zhaoling had already bent down and scooped up a handful of well water.

Very cold.

However, she saw wisps of black air lingering in the water, which seemed to be alive as the water swayed.

"Have you always been drinking water from this well?" Lu Zhaoling shook his hands.

"Yes, the well water is actually quite sweet," said Uncle Zhang.

"Okay, I'm done, let's go out."

They were in the front yard again.

Uncle Zhang became nervous again. The previous guest had a fit after walking around. What about now? Could Miss Lu and the others be about to have a fit?

He wanted to pull his cousin away, but he felt embarrassed.

He could only hold the broom tightly and look at Lu Zhaoling.
