i must be in hell

After Xiao Yu went downstairs, Xia Tan stayed upstairs alone.

The door was slightly closed, and she could only vaguely hear the voice downstairs, but gradually the voice disappeared as people walked away.In the whole room, there was only the sound of his own breathing.

One sound, exhale, inhale, exhale... No!There is another person here!

Xia Tan suddenly woke up, the breathing sound she heard was not only her own, but also belonged to another person.Slightly, carefully restrained, if it wasn't for her keen hearing, she would have almost missed this voice.

Upstairs, just a foot away, someone is approaching!Xia Tan could clearly hear the breathing of another person outside the door.The man's breath moved from far to near, gradually approaching the door, but just outside this wall, he never made a sound.

The heart was beating violently in the chest, and Xia Tan couldn't help breathing rapidly. She grabbed the armrest of the chair, trying to find something to arm herself.After looking around, there is only one thick mystery novel.Xia Tan clutched the book tightly at the door, staring at the half-closed door.

The unknown person gradually approached, so close that Xia Tan could spy a black figure outside the door through the crack of the door, but at this moment, a few heavy footsteps came up the stairs, and then, someone went up to the second floor.

"Xia Tan!"

Han Youwei pushed open the door, and Xiao Yu followed closely behind him.

"Are you okay? Did anyone come over just now?"

Xia Tan paused, looked at him, and looked behind them in confusion. "Did you not see someone?"

Xiao Yu and Han Youwei looked at each other, before they could make a sound, they heard the sound of glass smashing, and then they heard Zhu Ming's loud voice. "Who broke into the second floor!"

"What happened?" Yu Jun followed closely behind them and asked.

Xiao Yu walked past him, and saw Zhu Ming standing in front of a guest room with the door open. The room was in a mess, the windows were also smashed, and the wind and rain blew into the room.On the only desk, there was still paper and pens, obviously someone was in the house just now.

"This is Professor Xu's room." Yu Jun was surprised. "What about the others? Have you seen him?" Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Xia Tan, did you see anything?" Xiao Yu turned around and asked the girl who was following them. "Did you see anyone else before we went upstairs?"

"No, no, it's just that I heard someone walking up and exhaling, but then you disappeared after you came up." Xia Tan hurriedly shook his head and said, "I didn't see what he looked like, but there were indeed people on the second floor before. "

"That means someone broke into the second floor and took Xu Yongquan away?" Zhu Ming asked incredulously, "Would it be the same person who broke into the basement?"

"It doesn't matter who it is! Now we have to find Professor Xu!" Yu Jun was in a hurry. "Everyone divides the work and cooperates to find it separately! It's still raining outside, that person can't take the professor too far!"

After these accidents happened in a row, everyone no longer had the mind to stay in the house leisurely.According to the pattern of two groups, everyone went out to find people separately.At present, there is no one to rely on on this mountain, and the shadow of outsiders intruding hangs over my heart. Everyone's complexion is not very good.

Han You was left to look after Xia Tan, while Xiao Yu was assigned to a group with Zhu Ming.Before going downstairs, Xiao Yu glanced at the two cousins, and then left with everyone.When passing by his door, Xiao Yu saw a series of footprints on the ground, and stopped suddenly.

This series of footprints was obviously different from other people's, with half-dry and half-wet traces, extending from the end of the corridor to the front of his room.At the end of the aisle, there is a window that leads directly to the outside of the villa.Xiao Yu quietly looked at the series of footprints and stopped for a long time.

"What?" Zhu Ming, who was walking in front, looked back at him impatiently. "Why are you in a daze, why don't you hurry to find someone?"

Xiao Yu looked at the traces in front of Xu Yongquan's door again, and followed him away without saying anything.

Soon, everyone found Professor Xu in a coma and mess in the backyard.He was still in the wooden house after being knocked out, covered in chicken and duck feathers.When he was woken up, he was still unconscious, not knowing where he was.

"Professor Xu, wake up, wake up." Yu Jun patted his face anxiously.After seeing Xu Yongquan finally sober up, he hurriedly asked: "Why are you here? Do you remember who brought you here?"

Xu Yongquan looked at the people around him in bewilderment, and shook his head.

"Professor Xu, Xu..."

Xiao Yu interrupted him. "Don't ask, it seems that he is not conscious yet. Help him go back first, and it will not be too late to ask after he has rested."

Yu Jun could only nod his head. After everyone helped Xu Yongquan go out, he looked up at the messy henhouses around him and sighed helplessly.

"Boss?" Zhu Ming poked his head in from the door. "Aren't you going back with us?"

"I'll clean it up first." Yu Jun said: "It's such a mess, all the chickens and ducks have run away, I think I can catch as many as I can, otherwise there will be no food in a few days."

Zhu Ming retracted his head with a groan, and said to Xiao Yu who was standing beside him, "The boss said he wants to clean up."

Xiao Yu nodded and walked away.

"Hey, let me tell you why you are so weak. I asked you a question for you. Thank you anyway, or you can give me a good face."

"Thank you." After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Only Zhu Ming stood there anxiously. "Ha, what a guy who cherishes words like gold!"

These two incidents happened in one morning, which made people panic. In addition, Mrs. Liu, who was in charge of making lunch, hadn't recovered yet, so everyone ate this lunch very absent-mindedly.

"I think there's something wrong with this." Zhu Ming put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Someone broke into the basement for a while, and Lao Xu was taken away for a while. I think we're being targeted by someone, right?"

"Being watched?" Yu Jun paused, then shook his head again and again. "There are only a few scenic spots on our mountain. Even if people are looking at something, they are looking at the endangered egrets in the reserve."

"That's something we don't know." Zhu Ming clapped his hands. "By the way, wasn't this villa built in the last century? Maybe someone has taken a fancy to the treasures here, so they always come to attack us!"

It's okay if he doesn't say anything, but when Yu Jun talks about it, he will spit out his rice. "Impossible, impossible! Although this was a private villa in the past, it is true that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, everything was owned by the public. Now I have only contracted the management right of this villa, not the ownership. If there is really something good, it is not too late They were all removed by the country, so where is our share?"

Zhu Ming thought about it too, and stopped talking embarrassingly.

"Not necessarily."

Xiao Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke at this moment, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Although this area used to belong to the country, it was once unowned during the turmoil in the 60s and 70s. After the 80s, it was abandoned for a long time, and it was not developed as a scenic spot until recently."

Yu Jun was puzzled. "Yes, as you said. In the turmoil of the 70s and [-]s, all good things were taken away."

"What can be taken away is only what can be seen with the naked eye." Xiao Yu said: "And if there is a treasure, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to discover."

Yu Jun looked serious. "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by this sentence?"

"It is said that this used to be the summer residence of a senior general of the previous dynasty, and it was also his last stronghold before fleeing overseas. According to information, the officer died before fleeing, but the property seized during the raid was It is far less than his net worth at the time. So there have always been rumors that he hid his treasure in an unknown place. Because it was hidden too hidden, no one has been able to find it."

Xiao Yu's gaze swept across the crowd.

"And the one that is suspected to be the most suspicious treasure place is Bailu Villa." His gaze turned to Yu Jun again. "If I remember correctly, Boss Yu, a few years ago, someone came to this villa with the idea of ​​treasure hunting, right?"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Yu Jun again.

Yu Jun said helplessly: "There is such a thing. There was such a rumor on the Internet for a while a few years ago. At that time, many people came here to hunt for treasures, but then everyone found nothing, and gradually the rumors faded away. Mr. Xiao I know it very clearly."

"If you want to inspect a scenic spot, of course you have to pay attention to everything." Xiao Yu said lightly: "Then now I can reasonably suspect that the uninvited guest who broke into the villa came for the relics of the previous dynasty."

After he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Is it really possible that there is a treasure?" Zhu Ming couldn't help asking.

"Not sure." Xiao Yu said: "What is certain is that if there is a treasure, even if it is not worth an incomparably rich country, it will at least be worth tens of millions. After all, those are at least the relics of the previous dynasty and will only increase in value. "

After saying these words, Xiao Yu could feel that everyone present was breathing rapidly, and some uncontrollable excitement flashed in their eyes.He pretended not to see it, stood up and said, "But even if there is a treasure, it's not so easy to find. After all, Boss Yu has been here for so many years, and there have been people who came to search for it before. Didn't they all find nothing?"

However, no one could listen to his words, and the huge benefits that everyone didn't put in front of them were fascinated.

Seeing the commotion he had caused, Xiao Yu got up and left, and went upstairs without saying hello to anyone.

When he reached the door of his room, he stopped suddenly.

"Who!?"

No one answered him, only the shadows of the trees blown by the wind and rain outside the window, rustling like a demon dancing.

After a while, seeing that no one answered, he said to himself again: "Illusion?"

Then, push the door open and enter the house, locking the door tightly.

And not long after he entered the house, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the corridor.The black shadow stared at his door for a long time before gradually receding like a puff of smoke.

Inside the room, Xiao Yu leaned his back against the door and smiled lightly.

"The pool water is messed up."
