Chapter 246 Lin Mansion 41
Chapter 246 Lin Mansion 41
Yun Chu did not help Yan Huanlei untie the rope immediately, but took her out of the secret room first.
What if Mr. Lin comes back and sees the door of the secret room open, and suspects there is someone inside and just closes the door?
Yan Huanlei was very obedient and did not resist at all. For her, being able to get out was the best thing. She also knew that Yun Chu would not believe her easily.
After leaving the secret room, the light suddenly became much brighter. When Yan Huanlei's eyes fell on Yun Chu's face, she seemed a little surprised.
"It turns out to be you."
Yun Chu closed the door of the secret room: "Do you know me?"
Yan Huanlei nodded heavily: "You brought me mung bean soup before, and I drank it, but not long after I finished drinking it, Master Lin locked me in a secret room."
After saying this, Yan Huanlei turned around in the study, looking somewhat resentful.
"How many days has it been now? Three days? Or four days?
I am so unlucky. I wasted so many days and didn't get any clues."
Yun Chu didn't respond. There was still some time left, so she could continue searching here.
Yan Huanlei also shut up. Now was the best time to look for clues, as it was not easy to enter the study room.
Yun Chu quickly noticed a wooden box in the corner and immediately went forward to open it.
There was no gold or silver in it, only a book.
The cover says [Strange Stories from Yongzhou]
Yun Chu opened it. It was a book that recorded strange stories and events that happened in Yongzhou, as well as some people with supernatural powers.
Yun Chu took a quick look and found that, for example, the grandson of old man Chen who lived in the north of the city could speak before he was one month old.
He could read at two months old, speak at three months old, walk at four months old, and write poems at five months old. Even the title of child prodigy does not suit him.
For example, one day, Aunt Li from the west of the city fell down and said that she remembered her past life.
She said that in her previous life, she was the favorite concubine of the previous emperor. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was criticized by the ministers as a concubine who brought disaster to the country.
Even though the emperor at the time tried his best to protect her, she eventually died a tragic death.
Aunt Li cried and made a fuss, wanting to go find the emperor, but that was the previous dynasty, and the emperor had died long ago. Even if he were still alive, Aunt Li couldn't go find him.
How could her children and husband let her run away from home just because of her words?
Yun Chu flipped through a few pages at random, and most of them were about strange things like this.
This book doesn't look very useful, so why would Mr. Lin put it alone in this wooden box?
Yun Chu continued to look down and soon came to the strange man.
The first strange person was a woman who lived in the western suburbs of Yongzhou. It was said that she was born on a sunny day.
But at the moment she was born, a strong wind suddenly blew up outside the house, the sun disappeared almost in an instant, and the sky outside suddenly became dark.
At the same time, a passing monk said that this woman died unjustly in her previous life and insulted public officials in the underworld.
She was reborn with resentment, so the celestial phenomena changed drastically when she was born, and it was predicted that this woman would be unlucky no matter what she did in the future.
The book recorded that the monk was right. The woman had a toothache when drinking water and would fall nine times out of ten when she walked.
When she grew up, her bad luck became even more obvious. When she was 18 years old, no man was willing to marry her.
Finally, she was so angry that she said she wanted to run away from home, but she accidentally stepped on a stone and fell into the pool. When she was rescued, she was already dead.
Yun Chu felt a little emotional. This was the first time he had seen such an unlucky physique.
I flipped through the pages and found that someone was born with supernatural powers and could kill a cow at the age of five.
For example, there is a miracle doctor somewhere who can revive a person as long as he is still breathing. It is written in the book that he can even heal eunuchs.
As long as he is paid enough, he can restore his masculinity and it would not be a problem for him to marry eighteen concubines on the same day.
Yun Chu was somewhat skeptical about the authenticity of this book. It was fine if it was set in modern times. As long as there was enough time, it could theoretically be connected.
But the medical conditions in ancient times were not good enough, and the sterile environment was not available, so it was a bit far-fetched to want to reconnect it.
Yun Chu flipped through the pages casually again. They were all about who could hold their breath in water for a quarter of an hour, who could touch fire without getting burned, and so on. It was just a mess, so he could only read it for fun.
However, Yun Chu found that the edges of this book were very rough, and it must have been read frequently.
But normally, such a book for relaxing should be placed where it can be easily reached. Why is it placed in a wooden box like a treasure?
Yun Chu thought for a while but still had no idea. Yan Huanlei was still waiting on the side.
"Let's go quickly. What if Master Lin suddenly comes back?"
She didn't want to be caught again, so she had to find a place to hide when she got out.
Yun Chu realized that a long time had passed. Just as she was about to pick up the soup, she heard footsteps outside.
Yun Chu and Yan Huanlei looked at each other and quickly looked for places around them where people could hide.
But the study is so small, they have nowhere to hide.
Yun Chu glanced at the screen beside him. Behind the screen should be the place where Master Lin occasionally rested. It was the only place he could hide at the moment.
Yun Chuyi gritted his teeth and took Yan Huanlei behind the screen, not forgetting to take the soup away with him.
Otherwise, Mr. Lin would know at a glance that someone had entered the study.
Yun Chu had just hidden when she heard the door open. Master Lin was still scolding while walking.
"I see you're used to a carefree life. Don't you know how to keep the study safe when I'm not around?"
Then the supermarket Fuquan said aggrievedly, "I don't know what happened, I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up I rushed here immediately, but I didn't expect to meet you on the way."
Master Lin snorted coldly and looked around the study. Everything was the same as when he left. Nothing was missing.
He dropped his guard and sat on the chair: "Step back."
Fuquan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would at least be beaten today, but he didn't expect that he would be raised high and then put down gently.
After Fuquan left, the room fell completely silent. Yunchu hid behind the screen and dared not make a sound, fearing that Master Lin would hear their voices.
At this moment, the sound of the secret room door moving was heard outside, followed by the sound of Master Lin's footsteps gradually fading away.
Yun Chu and Yan Huanlei looked at each other and knew that this was the best time for them to escape.
As soon as Yun Chu rushed out the door, he saw Fuquan's dejected look.
When Fuquan heard the door open, he thought it was Master Lin coming out, but he didn't expect to see Yun Chu's face.
Yun Chu secretly cried out that it was not good. She was actually exposed in front of Fu Quan. Even if she had no intention of killing Fu Quan, he would have to die in her hands today.
"you……"
Before Fuquan could finish his words, Yun Chu stabbed him in the chest. After struggling for a while, he gradually died.
Yun Chu pulled out the knife and fled from the study with Yan Huanlei.
Before leaving, he did not forget to serve the pigeon soup. If this thing had been left here, we would have known who it belonged to when asked.
