Anecdotes about ghosts

When Yan Lei accompanied Lu Xiuyuan a few times, he had never been to the Xu family's main house, so the current situation is obviously too different from his original plan.

But because of Lu Xiuyuan's illness, Yan Lei couldn't say much, he could only honestly follow the Xu family's wishes.

After a short silence, Yan Lei nodded: "Then I will trouble you."

Xu Lan giggled and said, "Uncle Yan, you're being polite." Then, he summoned a servant, "Go, take the guests to the room to rest, don't neglect."

The servant bowed slightly, his movements seemed a little stiff: "Yes."

There was no sound of men and women.

For some reason, Yan Lei always felt that the servants in Xu Zhai were weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird, he just said that this was the special atmosphere of a metaphysics family, and ordinary people like them could not understand it.

Yan Lei followed the servant, while Lu Ke just vomited and was squatting on the ground with his waist curled up, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The off-road vehicle that sent them up the mountain could only be parked at the foot of the stone pillar gate, but the real Xu's house still needs to go up the corridor.

Although there are houses along the way, you can find a room to rest at will, but those houses are actually arranged in order of status.

Naturally, Xu Lan would not let Lu Ke live in an inferior person's house, so she ordered the servant to bring a sedan chair over.

After being helped onto the sedan chair, Lu Ke waved his hands weakly twice, and asked Xu Lan, "Where is my friend, how is he doing now?"

Xu Lan immediately stepped forward and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, Brother Lu, I've already started arranging someone to take care of him."

After finishing speaking, Xu Lan turned her head, glanced blankly at Jiang Mingming, who was lying on the ground, and ordered in a low voice, "Come on, and get ready to get the sedan chair over here."

The leading servant was stunned for a moment, but didn't move immediately, and looked at Xu Lan blankly.

Xu Lan glared at him, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up?!"

The servant still didn't move, bit his lower lip hard, and protested in a low voice: "But, but it's a monster! How could... how could we let us serve it?"

"You guys?" Xu Lan sneered, "You people who are neither human nor monsters, when did you claim to be nobler than the monster race? Hurry up and let me go!"

The servant was stunned for a moment, but finally bowed slightly and took the order to leave.

Lu Ke was quickly carried away and disappeared into the winding corridor.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a navy blue gown came from the dark.

The man was straight and looked to be in his fifties, with a long beard on his chin. Although there were a few fine lines carved on his forehead and cheeks, his facial features were very regular.

This person is Xu Ruohua's second uncle and also the head of the Xu family, Xu Rong.

When Xu Lan saw his father, he immediately bowed to him, "Lan'er has seen my father."

Xu Rong glanced at the half-dead Jiang Mingming, and asked her calmly: "Is this the little fox who has been following Lu Ke?"

"That's right." Xu Lan nodded, "Should we do it now?"

Xu Rong asked: "Is everything fed?"

Xu Lan subconsciously touched the small bottle on her waist: "Father, I'm about to feed it."

Jiang Mingming vomited so faintly that he almost spit out gallbladder. At this moment, he didn't have any strength at all, so he couldn't hear the conversation between the father and daughter clearly.

In a trance, he only felt that someone pinched his chin, and then something was stuffed into his mouth, and then his throat was cold, and the thing gurgled down.

After being sent to the room, Lu Ke rested for about half an hour before getting better.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Lu Ke felt a faint scent of sandalwood in the air, but the surrounding lights were dim, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

After his eyes finally got used to it, Lu Ke could barely see the current situation clearly.

The first thing that catches the eye is the carved pear wood canopy bed under him, the brocade quilt is soft, and there is a screen beside the bed, the light that allows him to see is the candlelight that comes in from outside the screen.

"I... where is this?"

Lu Ke rubbed his temples vigorously, put on his clothes, and carefully got out of bed. However, when he went outside and took a look, it almost made him wonder if he had accidentally traveled to ancient times.

The room is divided into two rooms, an inner room and an outer hall, completely in an ancient style.The display is simple everywhere, there is an Eight Immortals table in the outer hall, and on it is an exquisite jade candlestick, which is the source of light for the whole room.

Lu Ke had only seen some photos of ancient buildings in his history textbooks, but now that he saw Xu Zhai with his own eyes, which can be called a historical relic, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, really amazed.

After being amazed, Lu Ke was surprised to find that there was actually a copper pot next to the candlestick!

Perhaps out of curiosity, Lu Ke couldn't help but squeeze the handle of the pot and weigh it twice, and then touched the body of the pot a little - not only did it find that there was water in it, but it was still warm.

Well, it just so happens that he's a little thirsty too.

Lu Ke thought about it for two seconds, but finally couldn't hold back, took out the teacup and poured some to drink, but there is not much difference between the water in the copper pot and the water in the glass.

It's just that just after drinking warm water, it seems that the switch called "hunger" has been activated, and the stomach immediately let out a "cuckoo" to protest the master's abuse.

Lu Ke: "..."

Calculating the time, they arrived in Jiangling around 4:11 p.m., and then bumped on the mountain road for nearly six hours. Counting the time, it should be around [-]:[-] p.m.

Although it was not good to go out and wander around at this hour, Lu Ke hadn't eaten for ten hours and vomited in the dark, so he should really be hungry at this time.

For the sake of his health, Lu Ke still planned to go out to find something to fill his stomach. By the way, he also asked someone about Jiang Mingming's situation. After all, he remembered that when he just got out of the car, Jiang Mingming seemed to be dying.

As soon as Lu Ke opened the door, a servant on duty immediately came up to him and asked, "Is the guest hungry?"

Apparently he didn't expect there to be guarding in front of his door. Lu Ke was stunned, but the servant immediately said, "The master ordered me to guard here, and said that if the guest wakes up, he will take you to eat."

Lu Kefang understood and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

The servant has probably never heard the word "thank you" from anyone so far, so he was stunned for half a second and said: "...This is what we are supposed to do."

The servant is in front and Lu Ke is behind.

The corridor and stairs are covered with palace lanterns for lighting, and Lu Ke's room is in a high position. From here, you can have a panoramic view of the outline of Xu's house.

I have to say that Xu's house at night is quite beautiful, especially the artistic conception created by the fusion of bright lights and mist in the mountains, which makes this place look like a fairyland isolated from the world.

But soon, Lu Ke discovered another thing hidden under the light, which made him feel horrified—the servant has no shadow!
