Chapter 279 Can You Come to Me?
The whole room was silent for a moment.
Jian Yue stood at the door of the room. He was still in a daze at first, but when he heard the sound of chasing behind him, he immediately closed the door behind him.
"Bang!"
A loud, clear sound of a door closing was heard behind him.
Jian Yue panted and said, "Your Highness..."
Chris put down his clothes in a panic. He instantly forgot to scold how a servant dared to enter the master's bedroom without knocking. He just put the clothes behind him and said, "What, what's the matter?"
Jian Yue said: "I, I suddenly remembered that I didn't take anything."
Chris asked, "What?"
In fact, Jian Yue didn't have anything left untaken. He was just trying to hide. It was not clear why those things found him and why they were entangled with him. It would be best to hide, but there was no way without a reason. His eyes fell on the bed.
"Clothes." Jian Yue said, "I forgot to take my coat."
Chris: “…”
In silence.
Jian Yue said, "I think if my clothes fall here, other servants will say I have no manners if they see it. I don't want to cause trouble for His Highness, so I want to take it back. Do you know where it is?"
Chris: “…”
Another brief silence.
It was a quiet night, with only the moonlight shining through the curtains outside the window. The red-haired prince sitting on the bed was tall and handsome. His quilt was snow-white, and there was a robe in front of him. Jian Yue walked over and stood in front of him, looking at him and said, "This is my clothes. Did you remember it too, so you took it and prepared to return it to me?"
Chris was racking his brains, but he didn't expect Jian Yue to hand him a ready-made excuse!
This can be said to be very timely.
Chris nodded quickly and said, "Yes, that's right."
Jian Yue walked closer, and in the dim moonlight, he saw Chris's red hair and his ruby-red eyes. He must have been very excited. If he knew that his eyes were such a fiery red at the moment, he would not have thought that he had disguised himself very well. When Jian Yue bent down to pick up his clothes, he saw that his cheeks were also a little red.
"You seem to be feeling a little unwell." Jian Yue said, "Do you need my help?"
Chris said directly: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable."
Jian Yue said: "Really? But your breathing is very rapid."
Chris felt a little guilty after being poked. He was very glad that he was on the bed so that his legs could be covered. He was also glad that he did not directly hold Jian Yue's clothes and do anything because of the damn royal reserve. Otherwise, if he was caught directly, he would not know what to do when facing his little servant.
"It's nothing." Chris tried to remain calm. He said, "Maybe it's a little too hot."
Jian Yue: “…”
The nights in this castle are so cold that people want to wear cotton jackets.
However, he couldn't refute what the prince said, so he just said, "Can I open the window for you a little?"
Chris nodded, and Jian Yue turned around to open the window slightly. When he walked to the window and looked down, he saw many sticky, blood-red lumps of flesh climbing up the wall. Some of them were dripping with blood, and outside the city not far away, there were many people who looked like stones, some seemed to have several arms, and some had horns on their bodies, looming in the fog.
demon.
These two words emerged in Jian Yue's mind.
There are real demons in this copy of the world, and they are all surrounding the castle.
Jian Yue closed the window again.
Chris looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's a little cold outside because of the fog." Jian Yue said, "Your wound hasn't healed yet. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold. Let me fan you for a while. It will make you feel cooler."
Chris shook his head and said, "No, maybe it will be fine in a while."
Of course, there must be another reason why he is so hot.
Jian Yue didn't dare to go out at this moment, fearing that the group of people outside were still waiting for him, so he said: "It's okay, it's my duty to take good care of you, please wait."
He walked to the cabinet and took out the fan. The fans used by the nobles were decorated with very beautiful feathers. At first glance, they were very gorgeous. The fans were also inlaid with tassels and beautiful gems. These were the prince's personal belongings. Some of the luggage was lost, which was enough to show that the prince's life was very rich.
Jian Yue walked back to the bed, sat on the chair beside him and fanned him gently.
Chris looked at him and said, "Aren't you going back to rest?"
Jian Yue said: "Your health is more important."
Chris fell silent. He looked at the person in front of him. Jian Yue was only wearing a very thin white shirt, which was a uniform. He was always very neat, with his cuffs and tie so neatly arranged. He sat beside him and gently fanned himself. His eyes were clean and clear, without any resentment.
Once upon a time, he remembered, someone had been so nice to him.
His valet was very nice to him, and he thought he was really treating him well, and he was happy about it.
Until he turned a corner, he heard the butler complaining, "That gentleman is really too scary. Oh, every time I see his red hair, I feel panic and fear. If it weren't for this salary, I wouldn't serve him even if he gave me more money. You know, he actually thought I really wanted to serve him. I bet there is no one in the world who would do that."
Later, the servant left.
Chris remembered him saying, "Since you don't want to stay with me, I don't like to force you, you can leave."
The male servant who left the royal city was ostracized by all the nobles. No one was willing to use such a servant who was abandoned by his master. When he was the prince's personal servant, he was very glorious and could almost be said to be able to call the wind and rain, and was very respectable. But after leaving the prince, he couldn't even afford a full meal. All his capital for pride was only obtained because he had been with Chris.
On another rainy day, the servant came to the royal city again and knelt before him begging for his forgiveness.
The prince who always listened to him in the past just said to him condescendingly: "Since you have served me since you were a child, I can introduce you to a job with a good salary, and then disappear from my sight forever."
The butler's face was pale and he kept shaking his head. Chris never saw him again.
That was a long time ago.
It was so long ago that Chris hadn't thought about the servant for a long time.
Chris looked at Jian Yue, and he inevitably thought of the servant's words, so he asked Jian Yue: "Is the Duke good to you?"
Jian Yue was fanning himself and wondering if the monsters outside had left. Suddenly, after hearing this, he said, "I have never served a duke. I am just a low-ranking male servant. I am not at the level to serve nobles. I can come to your side because you gave me this opportunity."
Chris's red eyes darkened, and he said, "You came to take care of me that day only because of the Duke's order."
He knew that no one would take the initiative to approach him.
Jian Yue said: "In fact, it's not just that, I am willing to do it myself."
Chris was a little unconvinced, his red eyes narrowed: "Why? You obviously didn't recognize me at that time, because of my identity?"
Jian Yue said, "When you first came to the manor, the groom and I saw you not far from the door. At that time, you came to the manor with your sister. Miss Lida said something that made you unhappy, and at that time, you left without hesitation to protect your sister. I think you are kind and responsible, so I am willing to take care of you because you are a very noble person."
Chris was a little stunned.
In fact, he already had a vague idea of what happened that day.
Chris suddenly lowered his eyes to look at Jian Yue's hand, and saw the wound on his hand that had just healed. He remembered that he was the one who pushed him away. This thought made Lord Wangjue feel a little guilty: "I didn't think I would hurt you at the time."
Jian Yue said: "I know you didn't mean to let the servants around you push me. I didn't blame you. This is not your fault. It wasn't you who made me go forward."
Chris didn't expect him to be so reasonable. He looked at the person in front of him and couldn't control the heat in his heart. He said directly: "Can you come over to me?"
Jian Yue was slightly stunned.
"I can ask you to come here." Chris said, "Blake will not refuse my request. I want you to come to my side and be my servant. Are you willing?"
Jian Yue didn't expect him to say that, but he raised his eyes and looked at Chris. The boy's love was very ardent, the fire in his eyes was so bright, and those ruby-like eyes were full of expectation and joy. He was a noble prince, he was even the master of the entire royal city in the future, but for such a person, he carefully asked his little servant if he was willing to come to his side.
He could have just given the order.
It was as if he knew that Duke Black would never refuse his order. He could obviously give the order directly to himself, but he didn't. He just asked carefully.
Jian Yue met his gaze. At the young man's uneasy look, he smiled gently and said, "I think I'm very willing, Your Highness."
The night passed peacefully.
Jian Yue sat on the bed and talked a lot with Chris. They talked about the always cold weather in the small town, and how he met a lot of people outside the town today. They talked about some boring topics, and Chris always listened to him patiently. The noble prince was not very interested in these things in the small town, but he would still wait until Jian Yue finished speaking before telling him about his own knowledge.
He told Jian Yue some things about the royal city.
The most fashionable places there, the pastimes that the nobles often do, and the weather in the royal city.
While chatting, Jian Yue fell asleep.
He was sleeping on the sofa. The master's room would have a small sofa for the servants to sleep on. When Jian Yue woke up, it was still dark and he woke up naturally.
Rich and clear
Chris is still resting. He was seriously injured and needs more recuperation.
Jian Yue got up and put on his clothes. He walked to Chris's bed and looked at the red-haired boy. His brows were slightly wrinkled when he slept. Jian Yue reached out and gently stroked his frowning brows. After smoothing his brows, he stood up and walked outside, taking his coat with him.
It was just getting light in the sky and the corridor was completely silent and deserted.
Jian Yue walked outside, and in the thin morning mist, he saw Ji Xingle's figure.
Ji Xingle was obviously a very thin and weak person, but he could still stay outside. Jian Yue asked him, "Why didn't you sleep?"
"I...I really found something near the bed." Ji Xingle's face turned pale and he said, "It's this piece of cloth. I remember you also found this kind of cloth on the first day you came."
Jian Yue took the cloth and smelled it, then said, "It smells like flowers."
Suddenly, Jian Yue remembered that when he went out last night, he seemed to be chased by a monster. Could it be because of the fragrance of this flower? He also remembered that this kind of nectar was sold everywhere in the town. Is there any connection between the two?
Jian Yue felt something was a little strange, but he had more important things to do today.
"I have to go out for a while." Jian Yue said, "I have to go to church in the afternoon. In the morning, I have to go to Martha's house to get a mirror from the attic. Maria told me that there is a mirror in their attic. There is something wrong with that mirror. It can reflect the appearance of the devil. I want to go and take a look."
Ji Xingle said quickly: "Take me with you."
Jian Yue glanced at him.
Ji Xingle was really scared. He said, "I can help. It's dangerous for you to go alone. Qiyaya and I might be able to help."
Jian Yue thought about it and realized that it was indeed a bit dangerous to go to a stranger's home this time, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
However, servants must obtain the housekeeper's consent before going out.
Ji Xingle went to the maid to ask for leave to go out. The maid initially refused. Ji Xingle said, "I am too sick. I need to go to the town's bishop to listen to his teachings."
The maid agreed. For them, going to see the bishop was something that could not be stopped in any way.
So Jian Yue just took him with him and set off.
Jane Yue was able to find Maria's house. Martha had told him the exact location last night. Having been to the small town once, Jane Yue was quite familiar with this kind of thing.
After driving for about half an hour, the carriage stopped at a somewhat dilapidated street. The houses nearby were all made of wood. There were stairs and places outside where some women were sitting and drying clothes. Most of them were wearing white gauze skirts made of coarse cloth, and their hair was tied up behind their heads. The men were wearing coarse clothes and were doing farm work.
The carriage finally stopped at the door of a house.
Jian Yue got out of the car, walked to the door and knocked, but no one came in for a long time.
Ji Xingle was coughing quietly in the back. The cool air of the morning mist made him cough continuously. Qiyaya put a coat on him beside him. Ji Xingle asked, "Maybe no one is home?"
Jian Yue said: "That's impossible. Martha said her mother must be at home."
Just saying.
The door opened and a woman came out. She was wearing a gauze scarf on her head. She looked a little old. She looked at the two people at the door with a wary look and asked, "What do you want?"
Jian Yue replied, "Hello, ma'am. We are friends of Martha and Maria. They are in church and can't come back, so we came to visit you."
When the woman heard her daughter's name, her face relaxed a little. She said, "So that's how it is. Come in."
Two people came in.
The room was also very dark, with the windows sealed with wooden boards.
Jian Yue said: "Your family..."
The woman said, "Oh, my husband is working away from home, and I am really scared to live alone at night, so I nailed these wooden boards."
It sounds reasonable.
"Please sit down," the woman said, "I'll make you some tea."
Jian Yue and the other person sat down. He thought about it and decided to state his purpose directly: "I came here this time for one thing. Do you have an attic at home? Maria asked me to go to the attic to find a mirror for her. If it is convenient, can you allow me to go up and look for it?"
I originally thought it was a simple matter.
Unexpectedly, the woman's face changed when she heard this.
"Oh... my God." The woman said, "That's unfortunate. Maybe that silly child remembered it wrongly. We don't have an attic. You know, that child has been talking nonsense since he got sick..."
She cried and wiped the tears from her face with the apron on her skirt.
Jian Yue and Ji Xingle looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect their mother to give this answer.
The woman said, "Don't disbelieve me. You can go upstairs and see for yourself. Apart from the second floor, there is really no attic!"
Jian Yue smiled and said, “Of course we believe in your lady.”
He and Ji Xingle looked at each other.
Ji Xingle was a little dazed at first.
Jian Yue kicked him under the table, and Ji Xingle started coughing. The woman was frightened and asked, "Poor child, what's wrong with you?"
"I... I'm a little out of breath." Ji Xingle's face was pale. Although he was in poor health, he was very smart. He said while panting: "I need to lie down every time I get sick. I wonder if it's convenient for you..."
The woman said quickly, "Oh, poor child, of course I am willing, otherwise the Lord God will not forgive me. Come upstairs quickly, there is a vacant room upstairs."
Jian Yue helped him up: "I'll take him up."
The two men looked at each other, one continued to breathe heavily, and the other took him upstairs.
The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned when they saw this scene, and then they all burst into laughter:
"?"
"no?"
"Many players left after being rejected and couldn't find a reason."
"Because if you don't trust her, she will immediately go berserk and won't give you a chance to search!"
"That's so smart, why didn't I think of that?"
Jian Yue brought people upstairs. The upstairs was really simple. There were four rooms, which should be for the two daughters and the couple, and one was a guest room.
The woman said, "You guys can rest here, but the house is a bit messy. I'll go make you some hot tea. Don't go anywhere else except here."
She said this sincerely, like the simplest advice, but if you looked closely, you would see her threatening, dark eyes.
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry."
The woman then turned and left. Her footsteps made a thudding sound on the stairs and then slowly disappeared.
After he left, Ji Xingle hurriedly said, "Find the attic."
Jian Yue had been looking for it without him even saying anything. Their purpose was to get the mirror. The mirror must be a very crucial prop in the copy. As long as they found the mirror, perhaps many mysteries could be solved.
The two of them walked around upstairs but couldn't find it.
Jian Yue said: "There is nothing outside, unless you go into the bedroom..."
You should know that it is very impolite to break into other people's bedroom, especially since it is a girl's room.
Ji Xingle said quickly: "Then let Qiyaya go. She will go in and take a look and come back. Qiyaya is my card spirit. She can travel through space at will and will not be discovered."
Jian Yue said: "Let her go."
Originally I brought Ji Xingle along just for fun, but I didn't expect him to be such a huge help.
Ji Xingle said to Qiyaya, "Go and look for the attic. If you can't find it, come back immediately. If you see any danger, run away."
Qiyaya was wearing a pink dress and a ponytail. Today, the beauty-loving Xiaopailing also had a new look. She nodded and said, "Okay."
The card spirit is gone.
Jian Yue and Ji Xingle were waiting anxiously.
After a while, Chiaya appeared and said, "There is an attic. It's next to the closet in Maria's room. There is a small door. You can go up the stairs from inside."
Jian Yue and Ji Xingle looked at each other. Their mother had concealed the attic, which just proved that there was really something in the attic. Ji Xingle was a little hesitant as he was very timid.
"Let's go and have a look." Jian Yue made a prompt decision: "If we wait until she comes back from boiling water, we won't have another chance."
Ji Xingle looked at Jian Yue in shock.
Jian Yue glanced at him and said, "You mentioned my old tasker, so I can teach you something. Any opportunity in a dungeon is fleeting. Once you miss it, you will pay a heavy price. But you don't have to go this time. If she comes back, you hold her here while I go get the mirror."
Ji Xingle coughed a little, and he quickly said, "Then let Qiyaya go with you. Yaya, you have to protect him."
Chiaya was a little worried about her master, but she still nodded obediently and said, "Okay!"
Jian Yue walked out the door without hesitation and went straight to Maria's room.
Qiyaya followed Jian Yue and led the way. The door of the attic was locked. Time was urgent and Jian Yue could not care less. He did not know how to open the lock, so he simply took out a stone from his pocket and pried it open. Fortunately, the sound was not loud and he moved quickly enough.
The two of them climbed up the stairs.
There was a mess of miscellaneous items and cabinets in the attic, and it was impossible to find the mirror. Jian Yue said to Qi Yaya, "Search separately."
It was difficult to find a mirror among a pile of debris, but Jian Yue was very quick. The two of them searched for the mirror separately. Suddenly, Qiyaya, who was not far away, exclaimed, "Here it is!"
Jian Yue turned around and saw a mirror covered with cloth on a shelf. Two people took down the cloth and Jian Yue said, "This is it!"
Just about to go out.
Suddenly I heard footsteps on the stairs, the sound of "dong dong dong" was very clear.
Just as Qiyaya was about to speak, Jian Yue stopped her and said, "It's not Ji Xingle's footsteps."
The sound of the person climbing the stairs was heavy. She was climbing the attic stairs, and the sound was getting more and more wrong. The woman whispered, "Who's upstairs?"
"Oh, that evil little mouse."
"I told you not to run around."
"If I find you, I'm going to eat you!"
"Who's in there?"
The voice was hoarse and echoed softly, like the whisper of a nightmare, accompanied by the sound of a huge machete slashing across the stairs. This woman came with great force, and going up to the attic triggered her killing condition. Moreover, if she really came, Jian Yue and Qiyaya might not be able to deal with her.
Jian Yue understood the urgency of the situation and said to Qiyaya directly: "Just go, don't you have the ability of space?"
Qiyaya said anxiously: "What are you going to do? The master asked me to protect you."
Jian Yue replied, "I will act according to circumstances. What do you usually do when you encounter this kind of danger?"
As a card spirit, Qiyaya had a very simple mind. She quickly replied, "I have the ability of space and can take my master through space, but you are not my master, so I cannot take you through space, unless..."
She hasn't finished her words yet.
The attic door was kicked open and the woman came in.
Before Jian Yue could say anything, just when the woman was about to see the two of them, Qiyaya felt the great danger from the woman. Almost instantly, she grabbed Jian Yue's hand. Jian Yue felt dazed and heard the woman's voice in his ear: "Come out! Where are you!"
