Chapter 46(1/2)
In the perception of this world, she has disappeared for fifteen years, so all this in Yue Linze’s mansion was not for her. Yue Linze had said before that these were done to help his wife extend her life. She was curious about what kind of people would need to use the soul-suppressing talisman to extend their lifespan.
Tao Yu knew very well that there could be no ghosts and gods in the setting of this world, but since Yue Linze did this now, it means that he believed in these things in his heart. Who are these things going for?
Tao Yu looked at Yue Linze's back as she walked farther and pursed her lips. She didn't want to take this risk, but she always felt that Yue Linze's biggest secret was hidden in that attic. If she wanted to continue to guide her sub-personality, she had to know what was in that attic.
Through these days of getting along, Tao Yu could see that Yue Linze's life was very regular. Every evening, when the bell rang, he went to the attic, and went out from the inside early the next morning, and came back to have dinner with her until noon.
During the day, because Yue Linze didn't like his servants to walk around, there would be no people in the entire mansion. In other words, during the period when Yue Linze went out in the morning, she didn't have to worry about being discovered and could search boldly. Of course, the premise is that there are no guards there.
But if there were guards there and she was accidentally caught...
Tao Yu took a deep breath, and went to the bedroom while thinking. As soon as he entered the room, he lay down and rested. If he wanted to find out tomorrow, he would have to force himself to have a good sleep today so that he would not make any mistakes due to mental illness.
However, she couldn't sleep as soon as she wanted to. After closing her eyes, she first kept circulating in her mind with the strange things she had experienced over the past few days, and then she couldn't help thinking about the things in the attic.
This situation lasted for a long time, and finally fell asleep easily. In the dream, a mysterious woman in red clothes could not see clearly appeared and ran after her. After running for the middle of the night, Tao Yu finally woke up. When she saw that the sunlight outside had already come out, she instantly felt that it was better to sleep than not, and she was so exhausted.
Tao Yu sighed and got up from the bed, walked to the window and listened silently to the movement outside. At first it was still quiet, and soon the neighing of a horse came faintly. Tao Yu was very satisfied. Although the people here were very quiet, little animals did not. She relied on the sound of the horse pulling a cart in the morning to determine when Yue Linze would leave.
Calculated that the time was almost over, she cleaned up her own hands, opened the window and flipped out, and walked around the corner of the wall into the locust trees, without choosing to walk the road left in the middle.
She stared at the attic not far away and walked forward. The more she walked, she felt like she had entered a forest. The distance between the trees was getting closer and closer. The dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground were thicker, and she felt a soft and unreality when she stepped on it.
After struggling through the woods, Tao Yu stepped onto the solid bluestone floor, he looked at the attic in front of him completely speechless.
Because she could only see a corner of the top floor of the attic before, she did not think that this independent house was different, but now when she saw the front, Tao Yu felt that there would be no stranger in the world than here. A thick layer of runes was posted on the walls of this attic, and copper coins were tied around it. In front of the gate was a burning incense. Next to the attic, there was a bell ringing, and it was the one that rang every day.
Tao Yu looked around and seemed to be no one there. She breathed a sigh of relief and then rushed out towards the attic.
The door of the attic was not locked, and she quickly broke in and started to breathe the moment she closed the door, and her heart almost jumped out of her mouth.
She relaxed a little and looked at the surrounding environment. The surroundings were still covered with talisman paper as if they were outside. However, slightly different from the outside, there were blood on the talisman paper. Although there were not many blood on it, only the size of mung beans, each one had it, and some were fresh, while others were black. It was obvious that it had been a long time.
Tao Yu took a piece of talisman paper from the wall, looked at it for a long time and then posted it back. She turned around, and the more she looked, the more she felt depressed. Everything here exuded a moldy smell, and some inexplicable decorations made people feel a little breathless after staying for a long time. It is hard to imagine how Yue Linze, who comes here every day.
She searched around but couldn't find anything useful, so she rushed to other places, but after walking several times, she didn't find any other space, and there was no secret passage to lead to other places. Her brows gradually frowned. From the outside, she saw that there were at least three floors here. How could there be no road if there was only one floor?
She observed the surroundings carefully and saw that she finally saw a picture of calligraphy hanging on the wall behind several chairs. Her brows immediately moved.
Although she has never been interested in Feng Shui, she still has simple common sense. In the superstitious home, she always hangs paintings and characters on the wall behind the place where she sits, so as not to have an unlucky sign of "traveling the words and characters". Since Yue Linze is so faithful, why did he hang a calligraphy here?
She strode forward, gently lifted up a corner of her calligraphy, and indeed saw the staircase going upstairs.
Tao Yu took a breath and walked up with small steps. After a few steps, she found that the top was sealed, and she had no way to go up. At this time, she was a little anxious. She had been spending too long here, but she didn't even get in the serious place.
Although Yue Linze will not come back for a while, no one can guarantee that there will be no in case.
Tao Yuxin made a move and simply pushed it with brute force, but the thing above her head that looked like a wall was pushed away by her slight push.
Looking at the room with a corner on her head, she licked her dry lips and walked up the stairs with her hands and feet.
The moment her feet stepped on the attic, Tao Yu looked at everything in front of her and was stunned in place.
There are two adjacent rooms above, and she is standing in the middle of the two rooms. The doors of the two rooms are very vulgar wooden doors, which look a bit old. Unlike everything below, there is no mess on the walls here. The door is an ordinary door, and the wall is an ordinary wall.
Everything was so ordinary, but Tao Yu felt that it made her feel uncomfortable than facing everything before. She took a deep breath and took a long time to go to the room on the left.
The door was not locked and opened as soon as it was pushed. This was a very simple bedroom. There was only a table, a wardrobe and a bed in the room. The quilts on the bed were neatly folded and looked neat, just like that person. There were several books on the table, one of which was in a state of being flipped open. The blank space on it said in small calligraphy, "Today's birthday, Tao Yu did not come to deliver food, so he should be punished."
Tao Yu looked at these, and her heart sank again and again. She had no idea about fifteen years because she popped up before, but now she looked at this small word full of anger and sadness and suddenly became sad-
The underage wolf cub she raised was gone.
After a moment of sadness, Tao Yu calmed down and bit her lip toward another room. When she returned to her town home, she was too scared at that time, so she just looked at her room. So she didn't know that the things in the room were substitutes, and all the things they had used were put here.
Yes, he moved everything from the two rooms, including the dust on the ground. The old decorations and every brick here could not have been imitated later. I am afraid that the two rooms in his home had been rebuilt later.
Tao Yu pinched his palm to his door, and was about to reach out to open the door, but her whole body began to tremble. Now she can't understand that there is no bad wife here, only their memories from fifteen years ago.
Yue Linze didn't know what those Taoist priests said, thinking that if she disappeared, she would die, so he did all this to keep her soul.
When he thought of her disappearing for years, he completely imprisoned the young man at that time. Once imprisoned for fifteen years, Tao Yu's heart felt like a stone was pressed down, making her unable to breathe.
As long as you push open this door and as long as there is no woman inside, all her guesses will be correct. Yue Linze's heart knot will be her disappearance, and everything will have a direction.
Tao Yu gradually became serious and finally pushed the door open.
To be expected, was her room.
Tao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The moment he walked in, his eyes were attracted by the quilt and pillows on the ground. She didn't expect Yue Linze to put a floor shop here. It seemed that the time he was working on the floor shop in her room was a time that he couldn't forget.
She sat by the bed in distractedly and watched everything here. Now the mystery has been solved, but she didn't feel relaxed in her heart, and she just felt that she was too guilty.
Tao Yu's face became more and more bitter, and he felt that no matter how he made up for it, it would be difficult to relieve the pain in Yue Linze's heart.
She sighed in sorrow, and supported her hands on the bed casually. She accidentally encountered something cold. Tao Yu paused for a moment, turned her head slowly, then widened her eyes and threw it to the ground. She covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from screaming.
There was a silence around her, her eardrum was filled with her heartbeat. After sitting on the ground for a long time, Tao Yu stood up with a trembling legs, desperately calming her voice: "Who are you?"
She stared at the bed, and her attention was attracted by the floor before. After sitting down, she didn't look on the bed. Only then did she find that the quilt on the bed was a red dragon and phoenix quilt, not the one she had covered before, but there was a bulging under the quilt. If she was not wrong, it should be someone.
Thinking of the cold touch on her fingers just now, Tao Yu was a little doubtful about whether this person was still alive.
"Don't you talk? That's offensive." Tao Yu's eyes were staring at the quilt, enduring the fear in his heart, and walked towards the bed step by step. After a while, two fingers pinched a corner of the quilt side by side, trembled and lifted the quilt, and then jumped backwards with a big step.
She is wearing wedding clothes...
The fear in Tao Yu's eyes was temporarily replaced by shock, and after a while, doubled fear surged out again.
This is actually her! It is her! She has the same face as her...Ceramic? Tao Yu went over and touched it, and after confirming that this was not a real person, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then got a little crazy.
How perverted is Yue Linze now? He actually made her come out and placed it in the room she lived in! A quarter of an hour ago she thought he came to the attic every day just to be alone with her teenager. Now it seems that he is more like he wants to get along with this ceramic doll!
Tao Yu was unprecedentedly anxious. Yue Linze's paranoia has now reached an extremely strange point, which is not something she can understand. If he completely regards the doll as her, what is he now? A doll that can be broken at any time?
When she thought of this possibility, her heart began to feel cold again, and the touch that had just arisen before was completely knocked away by fear.
She immediately stopped hesitating, restored the quilt to its original state and walked outwards, and soon walked down the stairs. After just two steps, the sound of the door moving came from outside, and the figure of a person could be seen through the blocked calligraphy.
Why is Yue Linze back at this time?!
Tao Yu's heart skipped a beat and hurriedly walked upstairs. After going up, she did not forget to restore the board to its original state. She turned around anxiously and suddenly began to annoyed that she had run up.
If she hadn't come up, when Yue Linze found her, she could pretend that she was about to come up, but now it won't work. Even if she wants to act, Yue Linze probably won't cooperate anymore.
The sound of calligraphy being lifted came from below. Tao Yu looked around anxiously, and then moved his eyes to the door panel and quickly moved away. After a while, she looked at the window in front of her, gritted her teeth and rushed over and climbed up, sat on the edge of the wall outside the window and closed the window with her backhand.
Below is a three-story high distance. As long as she moves a little, she will fall from here. During this process, if Yue Linze pushes open the window, she will be knocked down. Similarly, if any servant comes out today, she will find her existence.
Thinking of this, this place was the worst place to hide. But Tao Yu had no choice. Before she knew which substitute for her and the porcelain doll, she could not let Yue Linze find out that she had already known his secret, and she could not let him block her here. Otherwise, the initiative that she had worked hard to get was gone, and she would have to let Yue Linze slaughter it later.
And this is obviously not a good idea.
Tao Yu looked at the bottom of his feet, and clenched his body with a weak body beside the wall, closed his eyes and pressed his ears against the window.
I heard the sound of the board at the stairs, and then the sound of footsteps came, which seemed to be coming towards the window. Tao Yu was tense, afraid that Yue Linze would knock her down on impulse, and that she would have to die even if she was not dead.
However, Yue Linze just walked two steps towards this side, then opened the door of the room on the left and went in. Tao Yu breathed out, wanting to take the opportunity to open the window and escape, but he was afraid of hitting Yue Linze head-on.
While hesitating, she opened her eyes slightly and looked at the whole picture of the house, feeling that she had been refreshed again - she had thought that the house was square before, but she never thought that it would look like a tomb from above.
Tao Yu's heart kept beating wildly, and he felt that this place was beyond her ability to bear.
There was another noise from the door of the room, and Yue Linze actually came out. Tao Yu's nerves were tense. When he heard him walking to the stairs and the board was closed, she finally relaxed a little. He calculated that Yue Linze should go downstairs, so she hurriedly opened the window and jumped in, in case Yue Linze would see her after leaving the attic.
The moment he stepped on the floor, Tao Yu felt like he was alive, and then he lay on the windowsill and looked down, wanting to wait for Yue Linze to leave before leaving.
But when I waited around, I never saw anyone coming out of the attic. Tao Yu's palms began to sweat and gradually felt something was wrong.
She was still lying on the windowsill without moving, but her whole body was as stiff as a stone. I wonder if it was because the attic was decorated with yin energy, she began to sweat coldly now.
Until a cold voice came from behind: "What are you looking at?"
His voice was very close to him, obviously not far from her. A trace of despair flashed in Tao Yu's eyes. After a while, he turned around and sat on the ground against the wall, looking pitifully at the Yinglang man in official uniform in front of him.
"I'm looking at you..." she told the truth.
Yue Linze's lips curled slightly, and he looked like he was smiling, but his expression was a little sinister: "Why do you have to look at me?"
"Because I don't want to be caught by you." Tao Yu's eyes turned red with fear. This psychological torture made her wish she could die on the spot and give up this world.
However, Yue Linze did not give her such a chance, so he slowly walked up to her and squatted down, grabbed her jaw with his fingers and said gently: "Since I'm afraid I'll catch it, don't hide it in that kind of place that is easy to be discovered, do you know?"
If he hadn't restrained himself and didn't rush to catch someone just now, she would have been crushed to pieces because she fell down.
Tao Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when he discovered Yue Linze, he was writing through the calligraphy that blocked the stairs. It was dark inside and outside, and his figure could easily penetrate - this is the same principle as a window!
When she thought that she was hiding in secret, there was actually a very obvious shadow. Tao Yu was afraid and wanted to slap herself twice.
Just as she was lost, Yue Linze stroked her neck and called back her attention. He saw him seriously looking at her and asked in a low voice: "Did you see her?"
"Who?" Tao Yu asked subconsciously.
Yue Linze chuckled: "My wife."
"What you are talking about is the woman in the room who has the same face as me?" Tao Yu stared at him tightly.
Yue Linze curled his lips and said, "That's how you look like you."
"...Who looks like her? That thing is imitating my face." Tao Yu felt offended by his statement.
"Yeah?"
Tao Yu originally thought that after she finished saying that, Yue Linze would be angry, but Yue Linze just said the word "yes?" lightly, as if she would not annoy him anything she did.
To be continued...
