"Xiaolan's last reminder should not be false. She regarded me as her brother at that time."

Tongguan packed his equipment and said to Chang Nian beside him.

That reminder, accompanied by the blood in Xiaolan's neck, was still lingering between them.

"Don't drink the water in the house."

What does this mean? Others may not be able to hear it.

However, the clerk, who had been wandering between ghosts and death several times, realized it almost instantly.

Water seems to be a key piece of information in this mission.

And Tongguan immediately thought of the "dead end"!

Is it possible that the pattern of killing by ghosts is all living people who drink the water in the house?

In fact, Tongguan has always had doubts about this, because Fang Shenyan was attacked by a ghost at that time, but he did not drink water.

On the contrary, Tongguan, Chang Nian, Yu Guo and Tao Xiaoyi did drink tea from Fuzhong during their first meeting.

But they are still fine.

Only Fang Shenyan, who had never drank water, was tortured to death.

However, Tongguan still regarded this as a backup method.

He shook the portable kettle in his hand, and there was a clanking sound inside. There was half a bottle of water in it.

"I filled half a pot of tea prepared by Li Mansion.

When something really happens, I will let Chen Fu drink it and bring him to the same starting line as us.

If we cross a dead end and are attacked, he will not recover either.

Perhaps, this is how we get rid of constraints..."

This plan does sound good.

It's the best of both worlds, and you can determine the true meaning of Xiaolan's reminder.

However, after hearing this, Chang Nian put down the backpack in his hand, took the kettle worriedly, and asked tentatively:

"However, if you come into contact with water, it is not a dead end.

Moreover, Chen Fu didn’t know that there was a ghost in the house, and he didn’t know that the water source was an opportunity to attack, so wouldn’t our trouble have been in vain?”

Tongguan nodded, Chang Nian's worry was not unreasonable.

But he took the backpack in his hand and said softly:

"In fact, it may have been a mistake for us to take the initiative to face the conflict between red and white at the beginning.

Now being chased by ghosts and threatened by Chen Fu, all the initiative has been lost. You and I can only hope that the plan will work, that's all."

Yu Guo on the other side had already packed up his things and was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard of the North Courtyard.

He said softly to Fang Shenyan, who had gauze wrapped around his neck and looked pale:

"What do you think the old woman will do if she wants to find us?"

Fang Shenyan ignored him and couldn't. There was a burning pain in his neck.

Not only was he unable to speak, he was even very uncomfortable breathing.

He pushed up his new spare glasses and stared straight at the cigarette case in front of him, but he couldn't smoke a cigarette under any circumstances.

"Could it be lunch? What time of the day is it? I'm really hungry."

Tao Xiaoyi also heard Yu Guo's question and replied without interest.

When Yu Guo heard this, he knew it was a joke, but he smiled and said:

"I guess that's right. The Li family has a great business. Will there be some delicacies from the mountains and seas to keep us entertained?"

"The meal should have been prepared, but the reason for giving us a meal may be because we have to go out for a strenuous job next."

At this time, the Tongguan couple who had prepared in the bedroom walked out of the door and looked up at the gloomy weather.

There was an ominous omen in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart and just responded to Yu Guo's words softly.

He could roughly guess what the old woman wanted them to do, a funeral.

However, it is not clear whether this is a real funeral or a fake funeral.

So far, judging from Fang Shenyan's information, their funeral was to achieve a purpose similar to a sacrifice.

The object of sacrifice was a strange portrait.

Judging from Fang Shenyan's records, the female ghost in red they encountered before was probably the ghost bride in the portrait.

The act of performing a funeral should be the process of offering sacrifices.

It's just that Tongguan hasn't figured it out yet, what is their purpose of doing this?

Several people, following the maid who had been waiting for a long time, rushed towards the east hall.

On the way, I learned that the maid's name was Xiaozhu, which seemed to have some resonance with Xiaolan's name.

Yu Guo also asked tentatively: "Did your Li family gather the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums together? Where is Xiaoju?"

It's just that Xiaozhu's temperament was obviously much stiffer. He sneered with disgust on his face and ignored him.

The entire journey was spent laughing and joking, with no one showing enough worry on their faces.

Everyone knows it just from Fang Shenyan's records.

Chen Fu, I want them to die today.

As soon as they entered the lobby, Yu Guo's eyes lit up. In front of them was a long and wide solid wood table.

A total of five chairs were placed on both sides, and the dishes on the table were extremely rich.

Five people laid out at least fifteen dishes, which stretched from the head of the table to the end of the table.

"Li Mansion, you are really generous. As expected, you are so poor that you only have money."

Yu Guo walked down with a golden sword, picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, and shouted to Xiaozhu next to him: "Here comes a bowl of four taels of rice!"

Several other people also sat down respectively, but except for Yu Guo and Tao Xiaoyi, no one went to eat the rice bowl.

Tongguan and Chang Nian were afraid of Xiaolan's reminder before she died, while Fang Shenyan was worried about his own injuries, which would cause trouble.

"Madam said, you eat first and then talk about business after eating, please!"

Xiaozhu brought two more waiters to serve at the table, while he turned around and went to the back hall, leaving the clerks here.

Fang Shenyan turned to look at the two servants who were silent and had not said a word since they came in.

Almost all the servants and maids in the Li Mansion ran away or died, leaving only a few maids around the lady and the handymen at the stables.

And these two servants, with sweat on their faces and trembling hands holding rice, must still be the so-called "temporary workers" hired by this town.

While Yu Guo and others were feasting, a servant hurried over from outside.

Fang Shenyan stared and observed, this person was also a strange face.

The man whispered something into the ears of the two servants serving the rice, and then the man serving the rice showed shock in his eyes.

The porcelain bowl that Tao Xiaoyi filled with rice shattered when it hit the floor.

This made Tao Xiaoyi feel dissatisfied, but after looking at the man, he noticed something was wrong. He looked around and said nothing.

After a long pause, the handyman put down his rice spoon and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

I muttered a few words to the shop assistants: "Gentlemen, there is something urgent here, we can only go and get busy first."

After saying this, the three handymen quickly almost flew out of the lobby and ran in one direction.

Fang Shenyan kept watching all this, this direction was the backyard!

At this moment, Yu Guo picked up a chopstick, stuffed the dish into his mouth, and said vaguely:

"The visitor said something happened in the backyard, and the four people carrying the coffin bled to death from seven holes for no apparent reason.
Chapter completed!
