The footsteps were getting closer, and the thin wooden ladder seemed crumbling and creaking under the trample.

The carpenter's hoarse murmur sounded outside the door——

"The little mouse outside always comes to steal things when no one is around... I'm going to nail it into a wooden board, smash those nasty claws one by one, crush its teeth, and fill its mouth with rotten intestines. The poison of..."

The eerie voice drew on leisurely, and the carpenter went up the last flight of stairs.

"Can I go out?" Yu Ran asked.

"not now."

Yan Shiche glanced at the window that was sealed by wooden boards. The carpenter's footsteps stopped at the door, and it was too late to escape.

The man embraced Yu Ran, and the two quickly rolled under the bed.

Click, the door opened.

under the bed.

Yu Ran was not used to the feeling of being touched, he pursed his lips, his muscles tensed unnaturally, trying to ignore the heat source next to him, and he didn't relax until Yan Shiche moved his arm away from his waist.

What is this?

Yu Ran sighed in his heart, raised his eyes to observe the carpenter from the gap.

Their current position is really not safe, the distance between the bottom of the bed and the ground is very large, as long as the other party squats down, they can be found.

The carpenter walked in a strange posture, as if his heels would never leave the ground, and he was wearing a pair of old black cloth shoes, which made a sticky sound of water when they rubbed against each other.

The soles of his shoes were stained with some liquid, and he dragged them into the room, leaving dark water stains on the concrete floor with his heels.

Those feet turned around on the narrow ground, and as Yu Ran expected, they slowly approached the small bed.

【Mom, I'm so nervous! ! ! 】

【Me too!Don't be found out!The two most handsome brothers in the live broadcast room! 】

[Hiding under the bed?My God, what a mentally handicapped operation!The NPC with such a big slit is not blind, it is an idiot in the live broadcast room, and walked 886]

[I like to walk around in front of me, why are you so aggressive, speechless]

[There is really no way, it is impossible not to search for such an important clue point, I can only say that they are unlucky...]

At this time, the popularity of the live broadcast room was rising rapidly, and nearly 5000 people watched it. They all held their breath and stared intently at the frightening picture on the screen——

"Rats like to hide in dark places, let me see if there is any—"

The pair of cloth shoes were facing the bottom of the bed and stopped in front of the two of them.

Yu Ran held his breath.

Da, da, da, da... da.

Suddenly, a crisp sound sounded outside the house, and it bounced slowly along the steep wooden ladder, fell, bounced, and fell again, trembling and making non-stop bouncing movements.

After a long time, the sound finally disappeared in the small hall on the first floor, leaving behind a vague echo in the silence.

Yu Ran pinched the glass marbles from the wooden box and stared at the movement outside.

Those feet paused, and turned slowly towards the door.

"Ah, it turned out to be outside, so I found it, little mice..."

At this moment, a fiery breath suddenly approached Yu Ran's ear.

Yan Shiche whispered: "I'll count to three, let's go out together."

"three."

Those feet took a step toward the door.

"two."

It steps over raised thresholds.

"one."

The two rolled out of the bed in an instant.

Before the carpenter could react, Yu Ran quickly closed the door of the room, Yan Shiche followed his actions, dragged the table in front of the window with one hand and slammed it against the door.

Yu Ran watched helplessly as the solid wood long table of at least two hundred kilograms was thrown to the door quickly, making a loud bang.

His perception of the strength of this Mr. Bodyguard jumped from the paper contract to reality.

Yan Shiche came to the window again, lifted his foot without hesitation, and kicked off a thick wooden board nailed to the window coffin. Iron nails and sawdust were splashed, and dazzling light instantly fell into the dark room.

But this alone is not enough, the gaps in the planks simply cannot accommodate a grown man to pass through.

The carpenter behind the door seemed to finally realize that he had been played by the "rat", and let out a hoarse growl from his throat.

A loud bang followed.

"Oops." Yu Ran scolded in a low voice.

The fragile wooden door was instantly split open a crack, and half of the ax face was embedded in the wood, revealing a sharp edge.

At the same time, Yan Shiche brute force removed the second board, and the sunlight illuminated the room.

The dust dancing in the sky scattered into countless messy lines, like the black, white and gray in the sketch, cutting the inside and outside of the house clearly.

A blood-red eyeball emerged from the broken doorway, slowly looking up, down, left, and right.

The carpenter seemed to laugh twice, and the sharp ax struck again.

The wooden door let out a whine of death, and larger cracks quickly climbed around the previous hole like a spider's web.

"Hurry up." Yu Ran urged.

Yan Shiche felt that his young employer was standing and talking without pain in his back, so he turned his ankles hissingly, and kicked the wooden plank and the rusty window coffin away with his last kick.

"Little mouse—" At this time, a terrifying and distorted face appeared behind the door, raising the ax again.

Yan Shiche broke off a long nail that was left behind, and jumped down from the second floor.

The height of more than five meters made Yu Ran frown. There are no windowsills for the houses in the village, and ordinary people would sprain their feet if they jumped directly from this height.

"Jump, I'll follow you."

Yan Shiche saw through Yu Ran's hesitation, and shouted again, "Jump."

Yu Ran took a last look outside the door, the wooden door was completely split open, the carpenter's distorted face was no longer human, he raised his ax high and roared towards Yu Ran.

He didn't hesitate anymore, and jumped out of the window.

Yan Shiche caught him firmly.

The discomfort of being surrounded by people struck again, and Yu Ran's brows never relaxed. He patted Yan Shiche, motioning for him to let go.

When Yan Shiche let him go, the corners of his lips curled up, "Why are you nervous, I said I will catch you, boss."

Yu Ran didn't know how to answer, he turned his head to look at the second floor, there was still darkness behind the broken window, a figure with distorted face stood in front of the window, staring at the two escaped.

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room flew up colorfully.

【Family, I didn't expect...】

[Haha, I'm also stunned, handsome guys are so fierce, breaking the board with bare feet]

【This is called breaking out of the window 2333333】

[Just now I didn’t even dare to post barrage, this is the first time I encountered such a reckless person in a live broadcast]

[The first time I met +1, I saw a cardiac arrest, these two rookies are so brave! 】

[Those who called me mentally handicapped before can apologize, but in front of real strength, NPCs are rubbish hahahaha]

***

It was already past noon when we returned to the small courtyard, and the other three people came out of the room. Although they were resting to catch up on sleep, except for Shen Tongyu, Cheng Xiyou and Qu Rui, they never closed their eyes. After all, the psychological shadow of witnessing death in person is very short. Difficult to eliminate.

Yu Ran suggested that he and Yan Shiche go to guard the ancestral hall tonight, but was unexpectedly rejected by Cheng Xiyou.

"Forget it, brother, I'll go, anyway, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight." Cheng Xiyou's eyes were black and blue, and the usual bluff was gone, "It's good to stay up for 24 hours, I used to stay up all night. "

Yu Ran didn't force it.

"By the way, did you go to the carpenter's shop? Did you find any clues?" Shen Tongyu asked about the business.

"Yes." Yu Ran took out half a torn notebook from his backpack, "It was found in the bride's room."

He stuffed almost everything in the wooden box into the system backpack and walked away.

When everyone heard the words, they immediately surrounded him.

It is said to be a notebook, but it is actually a stack of straw paper stitched with white thread. Many pages are missing, and the rough edges inside are rough, as if they were torn off hastily.

Opening the note, it was blank, nothing was recorded, not even the indentation of writing.

Shen Tongyu frowned, "There is nothing, how to solve this clue?"

Yu Ran said: "I didn't say that this must be a clue, but I just slipped it out."

"However," he paused, "this note may be a hint that the clue we're looking for is in those few pages of notes that were lost."

"You're right." Shen Tongyu pondered for a moment and made up his mind, "Then let's search for the remaining pages of the notes in the afternoon. Since there are hints, we will definitely be able to find them."

Yu Ran casually echoed: "Yes."

The young man was a little absent-minded, his eyes kept hanging on the ground, thinking about some new discoveries.

His white jade-colored skin was shining brightly under the sunlight, even if he lowered his head, it was difficult to hide his noble temperament.

It looked very cold.

Shen Tongyu: ...

Although he didn't say a word, he always felt that he was mocking me.

He cleared his throat again, and called out: "Since the villagers are wary of us, they may not be able to find anything outside, and it is easy to scare the snake away. Let's search the wing room again. Now that we have an idea, maybe there will be something new. Discover."

Under Shen Tongyu's guidance, everyone went back to their rooms to conduct a new round of searches.

In the east wing.

"I saw that you took more than that notebook." Yan Shiche said bluntly.

"Well, good observation."

Yu Ran praised without hesitation, and took out a few pieces of straw paper from the backpack, judging from the debris on the edge, it was just torn from the notebook not long ago.

"I didn't have time to read it. Now I can only judge that the information is not coherent. Before I tore it off, there were traces of being torn in the middle of the page."

Here are a few diaries.

Although it is said that reading people's diary is like thunder, but when it comes to deciphering, Yu Ran has no morals at all. He spread the paper on the bed and studied it carefully with Yan Shiche.

[Jiwei Year, the tenth day of October]

[This day is getting worse and worse, the only happy thing is that Auntie made skirts for me and Twenty-san, indigo blue, with fine velvet lace (the fine velvet is cut from my father's torn old clothes). 】

【Twenty-Three likes skirts very much, she laughed and giggled all night, I really hope she can be so happy forever. 】

……

[Jiwei Year, October [-]th]

【Today I took Ersan to the field to pull wild vegetables, but the ground was all dry and I didn't find anything. 】

[The son of Uncle Wu’s family kept staring at us, as if we were going to steal his grass, I grabbed Twenty-San and hurried away, these guys are not good people! 】

……

[Jiwei Year, the first day of the winter month]

[Twenty-Three is very bad today, she cut my skirt to shreds.Dad was very angry, and cried before the stick touched Twenty-Three, so Dad got even angrier and beat her up. 】

[Forget it, I don’t like that skirt anyway, so I don’t care about it with the little boy. 】

……

[Jiwei Year, the fifth day of the winter month]

【The weather is getting worse, those people look down on Twenty-Three, their vicious faces are distorted like hot smoke from a boiler. 】

……

[Jiwei Year, the eighth day of the winter month]

【Father has also changed, he is always downstairs alone, beating on something quietly. 】

【He shut Twenty-San in the room, nailed the windows with wooden boards, it was pitch black, and Twenty-San was crying all the time. 】

[Auntie doesn't speak, I plead with dad.But he just stared at the work in his hands, his face was twisted like he wanted to eat people! 】

There are five entries in the diary, and some important information is vague.

"Twenty-three? Little brat?" Yan Shiche paused after reading, then hesitated, "That crazy girl?"

"Maybe." Yu Ran pulled out a yellowed black and white photo from the bottom of the page, "And this one, it turned out to be in the book."

The photo technology of this era is backward, and the photos are only as big as the palm of your hand, and the picture is blurry.

This is a bust. The girl in the picture is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with shiny black braids, which hang around her shoulders and hang on her chest.

Her face could not be seen clearly, but her delicate features could be seen from a vague angle.

Before being interrupted in the carpenter's shop, it was also the first time for Yu Ran to take a closer look at this photo.

The young girl in the photo seems to have a hazy temperament, which makes people unable to resist to explore how tender the eyes that are blurred by the photo paper are.

Her eyelashes should be fine and restrained, hidden under the narrow eyelids, she should have a pair of round almond eyes, her eyebrows should be Mianshan flavor, her lips should be light bean paste color, with a soft southern accent It's so soft, it flows into people's hearts like running water...

Yu Ran saw a similar figure through the thin photo paper, and slowly followed his forehead hair, calling him softly.

"Smoldering."

"Smoldering."

With a cold face, Yan Shiche grabbed the young man's chin with his hands, forcing him to look at him.

Yu Ran's black eyes flickered, and the long memories of the past were still in his mind, and his eyes swept around the beautiful and fierce face in front of him.

Yan Shiche.

A cheap Mr. Bodyguard for 80 yuan a day.

Yan Shiche waited quietly until Yu Ran slowly realized something was wrong, frowned and looked at the photo in his hand again.

The facial features of the person in the film are smudged by the old inferior ink, only a part of the lower lip that is too dark is exposed, and it bends a strange arc towards the person outside the camera.

The author has something to say:
