Chapter 31
The lights in the room were turned off, Ning Xingruan lay down obediently, crossed his hands neatly on his chest, listening to the sounds around him, he knew that Mr. Yu had already laid down.
The two were next to each other with two layers of quilt, Ning Xingruan's heartbeat accelerated, and a slight heat slowly spread across his body.
This was the first time he slept on the same bed as Mr. Yu in a waking state, and he was still a little nervous.
When he was about to go to bed at night, Uncle Liu told him mysteriously that there was something wrong with the bathroom in the guest room, and the bedding was all wet. Aunt Lin put away the bedding and could only dry it tomorrow.
So he can only sleep in the same bed with Mr. Yu tonight.
Ning Xingruan looked at the restrained smile on Uncle Liu's face, and felt that this was definitely not an accident, Uncle Liu did it on purpose!
How could the water in the bathroom wet the bedding, are you kidding me?
However, whether it was accidental or intentional, it is a fact that the bedding was wet, so he is now lying on Mr. Yu's bed.
"Go to sleep." The person beside him leaned over, kissed his forehead lightly, and said in a low voice.
Ning Xingruan stretched his toes nervously, and then realized that after Mr. Yu lay down, there was no other movement.
He slowly raised his hand to touch his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief. Although...although he had had very intimate contact, he still didn't know how to face such a thing when he was awake.
The room became quiet, and he turned slightly sideways, looking at the people around him by the faint moonlight, holding the jade medal that Mr. Bai Tianyu personally wore around his neck, and his heart was full of sweetness.
Ning Xingruan originally thought that he would be too nervous to fall asleep, but lying next to Mr. Yu, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he felt drowsy. Soon his eyelids became heavy and his consciousness became blurred.
Half asleep and half awake, he felt a noise around him, and then a cold wind poured into the bed, and soon disappeared, and he was gently held in his arms.
Unconsciously muttering a few words, turning over, he lightly rubbed the person beside him, and fell into a deeper sleep.
Ning Xingruan woke up from the cold.
When he opened his eyes, his hands and feet were cold, he was shivering, and he touched his side subconsciously. The seat next to him was empty, and Mr. Yu was not there.
He got up in a daze, and it was pitch black inside and outside the house, and he could hardly see his fingers.
Groping sleepily, he pulled the quilt and called Mr. Yu in a low voice, but no one responded.
There was a whistling wind outside, and the wind was so strong that he felt even colder when he heard it.
There was a loud noise, followed by a dazzling light flashing outside the window, Ning Xingruan had to close his eyes, and it took him a long time to recover, and when he looked outside again, it was pitch black again.
He was completely awake, pulled the quilt and waited worriedly, where is Mr. Yu going, this weather...
After a long time and still no one came back, Ning Xingruan felt uneasy, waited for a while, finally couldn't help but put on his clothes and got out of bed, groping to turn on the light.
However, he followed the memory to the wall, but he couldn't find the switch. He obviously remembered that it was here.His eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he could gradually see the outline of the furniture in the room. He couldn't find the switch, so he walked to the hanger and took out the mobile phone from his pocket.
Turning on the flashlight of his mobile phone, he was about to walk towards the door when he noticed the furnishings in the room and was stunned for a moment.
The layout of Mr. Yu's room is very simple. There is a bed against the wall, a small bed next to the window, an ebony table next to the door, and another set of cabinets and a hanger.
Although Ning Xingruan only came in three or four times, he remembered the furnishings here very clearly, but at this time there were still these things in the room, but it was completely different from what he remembered.
The bed was covered with a black embroidered curtain, the bedside table was thick and imposing, and on it was an emerald jade mountain stone ornament, and the wardrobe was carved with patterns and inlaid with jade, which was extraordinarily luxurious.
The whole room has become very... very expensive.
It's just that all the furniture, except the bed, was covered with a thick layer of dust, including the floor.
His mind went blank, he took a step back in horror, opened the door and ran out staggeringly.
The light source of the mobile phone swept across the main hall, Ning Xingruan's feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground. The originally clean and tidy living room was now in a mess. There are cobwebs wrapped around it.
This, where is this?
Ning Xingruan was terrified, he felt that the blood in his veins was frozen to the point of stopping, he held his breath, and walked out stepping on the dust all over the floor.
Mr. Yu... Where is Mr. Yu?
How could I be here, what kind of place is this, so dark...
...Can I still go out?
The whole body was trembling, the extreme fear made Ning Xingruan almost lose his strength, the body temperature gradually lost, his ears were buzzing, and even the sound of the wind could not be heard clearly.
The yard is still the same yard, but like the living room, it is dilapidated everywhere, the pillars of the verandah collapsed, the bricks and stones are broken, the courtyard wall is covered with cracks, and the wind blows through the holes in the wall, making a piercing whistling sound.
Unable to support himself, he fell to the ground, and the crushed stones made his palms tingle.
There seemed to be unspeakable things hidden everywhere in the darkness around him. He looked around in panic, feeling like a prey being teased by something hidden in the darkness, and there was nowhere to escape.
Suddenly there was a dull humming full of pain in front of him, Ning Xingruan's heart skipped a beat, he stood up with his last breath, staggered towards the direction of the sound.
It was Mr. Yu's voice.
His heart beat faster, courage was born in his body, Mr. Yu was right ahead, as long as he was found... as long as he was found, everything would be fine.
He staggered and pushed open the door blocking the way, and with a creak, the wooden door fell to the ground along with his force, splashing a cloud of dust.
The light was shining in front of it, and it was a black stone road. Ning Xingruan walked along the road, turned two turns, and finally saw a house with lights on.
The black ancestral hall seemed to be integrated with the night, only a little light leaked from the cracks in the doors and windows to remind it of its existence.
Ning Xingruan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar house in front of her, and subconsciously wanted to escape.
He remembered this ancestral hall, he had seen it in his dream, it was behind the cliff behind Mr. Yu's yard.
He remembered... There seems to be a chair in the ancestral hall, and his tablet is placed on the chair.
The bone-chilling coldness went straight from the soles of his feet to the bones. He stood still and couldn't move. His consciousness was light, as if floating in the air. He watched "myself" walk to the door of the ancestral hall, and his hand hadn't touched the door yet. , then heard a squeak, and the black door opened.
The candlelight poured out and shone on him, his consciousness came back, and he saw the... people in the ancestral hall.
The long black hair was wet into locks, and dark red blood dripped down the hair continuously.He sat on a chair with his back to the door, four thin chains hanging from the beams and sinking into his limbs.
Blood stains covered the entire floor, and the newly dripped blood from under the chair continued to spread out along the cracks between the bricks and stones.
He hung his head, not a trace of anger.
Ning Xingruan was trembling, his heart suddenly felt a sharp colic, which made him have to squat down and grab the clothes on his chest tightly, breathing heavily trying to relieve the feeling of almost suffocation.
As if the person on the chair was disturbed, he suddenly moved, and the sound of the metal chain dragging sounded, and he slowly turned back, revealing half of his face.
Black lines spread from the forehead to the cheeks covered by the long hair, densely packed, and the originally delicate and beautiful face was unusually eerie and gloomy at this moment.
His eyes did not fall on Ning Xingruan, but looked straight out of the door.
The sound of footsteps came from behind, Ning Xingruan was terrified, suddenly felt his chest was hot, suddenly pressed the stinging place, he felt the thumb-sized sign.
Before he could react, everything in front of him began to collapse and dissipate.
The blood quickly dried and darkened, the beams and columns were mottled, and the people on the chair disappeared in the dust, leaving only an empty chair in the room.
Layers of yellow talismans were wrapped around the chain, and it was still tied to the chair, while a tablet appeared out of thin air and stood quietly among the pile of yellow talismans.
He saw the words on the tablet.
Ning Xingruan, Yu... Su.
Yu Su.
Is it Mr. Yu's name?
His chest was getting hotter and hotter, and the severe pain finally broke his tense nerves.
Before he lost consciousness, he remembered like waking up from a big dream that he had never known Mr. Yu's name.
I don't know his name, like being deceived, and I never realized it.
It turns out his name is Yu Su...
A deep sense of powerlessness engulfed him, and Ning Xingruan allowed himself to fall into the darkness outside the ancestral hall.
