Chapter 310 Footprints! The figure in the old house
A silent woman with her head lowered and her hands hanging down stood beside my bed...
I suddenly sat up from the bed, pulled the light cord with one hand, and quickly reached under the pillow with the other hand to grab the copper coins.
"Pap..."
The lights in the room were on, but the woman was missing...
My heart sank, and I subconsciously raised my two fingers and pointed them between my eyebrows, but after thinking about it, I put them down. I hurriedly got out of bed and looked down at the ground, and then my brows furrowed.
I saw a row of shallow black footprints on the thin red saltpeter powder on the ground, and wisps of black smoke were still rising from the footprints...
I bent down and took a closer look, only to feel my scalp tingling, because the footprints on the ground were all pointing in the same direction, which meant that the woman just now was not walking, but... jumping on one foot!
Jumping one by one, I imagined the scene in my mind. In the dark room, there was a woman with her head lowered. She jumped up to the bed and stared at me. It was like a vigil. I suddenly felt sick all over my body.
comfortable…
I calmed down a little and followed the footprints until I came to the door of the wing, where the footprints suddenly stopped.
"Coming in from outside?"
I gently pushed the door open, but unexpectedly, there was a person standing straight at the door!
Because I had been focusing on the footprints on the ground and not paying attention to the situation in front of me, I was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the person in front of me that I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Who asked you to sleep here?"
It was Wan Liang who spoke, and his voice was very gloomy. Although he was talking to me, his eyes kept glancing towards the head of the bed intentionally or unintentionally.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your house, so... do you need me to move out?" I said apologetically.
Wan Liang hesitated for a moment, then dragged me out of the door, then walked into the house and closed the door...
A few minutes later, he came out with a cloth bag and said to me solemnly:
"Don't touch things in the house! Otherwise..."
Wan Liang didn't finish what he said, but his tone was full of threats. I nodded secretly, pretending not to dare to speak anymore.
Seeing that I was so obedient, Wan Liang turned around and left.
"Brother Wanliang!"
I opened my mouth and called him.
Wan Liang turned around and looked at me suspiciously. I smiled at him and asked:
"Do you live alone in this house on weekdays? It's very clean."
Wan Liang's mouth trembled slightly, he glared at me, turned around and left without saying anything.
Watching his hurried departure, Wan Chen murmured in his heart. Wan Chen had said before that this brother from his uncle's family was a simple and honest man who didn't fight for anything and was very timid. But the man in front of him seemed to have nothing to do with his description.
I can't get it, what's going on?
I believe Wan Chen will not lie to me, and he has no reason to lie to me...
I took a deep breath, returned to the room and looked down at the ground again, but I was stunned when I saw it. There was another row of black footprints on the thin red saltpeter powder on the ground...
My heart sank, and a terrible thought came out of my heart!
I went back to the bed and opened the drawer and saw that the photo was gone. Thinking back to the girl with braids in the photo, I finally couldn't help but go out and go to the west wing.
Morning screamed.
"Brother Lin Yu, what's wrong with you in the middle of the night?" Wan Chen asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Let me ask you, besides your uncle's family, who else lives in this old house?"
Seeing the seriousness on my face, Wan Chen didn't dare to be vague anymore. He hurriedly wiped his face with his hands, tilted his head and thought for a while and said:
"Only my uncle's family lives there, no one else..."
I frowned slightly, thought for a while and asked again;
"When we first came back in the evening, I saw two cars parked outside the door? Do they both belong to your eldest brother?"
"I don't know about that. I don't come back often. I really don't know the specific situation..."
I was just about to ask something more when Wan Chen's expression suddenly changed, as if he thought of something.
"By the way, I remember that my uncle's family had a nanny before. Does this count..."
"Nanny? Male or female? How old is she?" I asked excitedly.
"Of course the nanny is a woman, well... she seems to be in her early thirties, a country girl, quite rustic."
"What are you wearing? Are you wearing a braid?"
Wan Chen was stunned,
"How do you know?"
I didn't bother to answer his question and asked again hurriedly:
"Where is this nanny now? Why haven't I seen her?"
Wan Chen let out a long sigh,
"Dead!"
"Dead? How did you die?"
"I don't know. Just a few days before my uncle passed away, the nanny went out to buy groceries in the morning, but she didn't come back at night. Later, the family went out to look for her, and she was found in the woods a few hundred meters away from the old house.
We found her body and reported the case at that time, but unfortunately we didn’t find out the reason..."
I nodded thoughtfully and asked:
"After the nanny died, how long did it take for your uncle to die? Was it more than seven days?"
"Passed!" Wan Chen said without thinking.
"How do you remember so clearly?" I looked at him suspiciously.
Wan Chen carefully looked outside the door, then leaned into my ear and whispered:
"Because my elder brother specially arranged the funeral for her, that's why I remember it so clearly."
After he finished speaking, Wan Chen even winked at me. I immediately understood what he meant. There must be something going on between Wan Liang and the nanny...
I pondered for a moment and said:
"Where is the nanny's body buried? Take me to see it."
"Now?"
"Now!"
Wan Chen shook his head helplessly, put on his clothes and took me out of the old house in the dark, walking along the path in front of the yard towards a forest not far ahead.
Ten minutes later, we came to a clearing in the woods. Wan Chen pointed to the clearing and said:
"The nanny's grave is right there, you see..."
Just in the middle of what he said, he suddenly covered his mouth. I was stunned for a moment, and then I looked in the direction of his finger. I saw that there was really a lonely grave in the open space, but the strange thing was that this
There was a person kneeling in front of Shi’s grave!
It was a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. Although it was from the back, I still recognized it. It was Wan Liang!
I dragged Wan Chen, who was stunned, to hide behind a big tree. Then I looked out and found a brazier in front of Wan Liang. Something was burning in the brazier. I couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:
"Shouldn't he be keeping watch over Wan Renxiao's body again? Why did he come to the nanny's grave?"
