Chapter 181: Gelton Manor 31
Su Qingyun returned to Gelton Manor behind Jing Huan.
After the man and the ghost came back, Jing Huan thought about looking for his master Ye Jian.
Su Qingyun held him back, "You said you would protect me for four hours, and it's only been two hours and twenty-three minutes."
Su Qingyun even checked the time. In fact, excluding the time before she encountered the bear in the woods alone, Ye Jian's contracted god only protected her for more than an hour.
The duration is far from enough.
"What are you going to do?" Jing Huan looked at her warily.
"Nothing, I just want you to go somewhere with me."
Su Qingyun dragged Jing Huan and did not enter the manor but walked to the outskirts of the manor.
She prepared to enter the cellar from the outside.
The man was tall and strong, almost two meters tall. He was dragged by Su Qingyun, much like a shepherd boy pulling a cow.
Upstairs, Ye Jianyi was leaning against the window frame, peeling potatoes with a knife. He silently watched Su Qingyun and Jing Huan.
Yin Qi poked his head out again, eating a potato. Seeing Su Qingyun come back with Jing, he exclaimed, "She's pretty fast. She finished the task in less than four hours."
"But she completed her mission and didn't return to the manor. What was she planning to do with your Contracted God?"
"What else can she do to trigger a new plot?" Ye Jian cut off a piece of potato with a knife and put it into his mouth.
Yin Qi didn't know the secret under the cellar manhole cover. He asked in confusion, "Triggering a new plot, what new plot will this damn place have besides a dance party?"
"Who knows? There might be a beautiful princess hiding somewhere." Ye Jian walked away from the window and told Yin Qi to close it.
"It's freezing."
Yin Qi, "..." He was the one who opened the window, and he was also the one who shouted that he was freezing to death.
This young master from Shanghai is really hard to please.
Yin Qi closed the window, and outside the manor, the bright sky gradually darkened.
Su Qingyun brought Jing Huan to the crevice and asked him to dig open the hole.
"Scrape it open?" Jing Huan raised his steamed bun-sized fist and reminded Su Qingyun, "I can crush a person's head, but that doesn't mean my hand is a shovel."
He was very dissatisfied with Su Qingyun's order.
"Then hammer it open."
Jing Huan glanced at Su Qingyun sideways, then pushed her aside and swung his big fist, and the gap of several centimeters wide turned into a big hole.
Su Qingyun clicked her tongue in surprise, "How amazing! Your master is so amazing that he actually wants to exchange you for Ye Yi with me."
"When would it be your frail Contract God?"
"Are you angry?"
Jing Huan snorted coldly, "I'm not angry with the master. I'm just asking. It's useless for you to sow discord like this."
Jing Huan punched the hole again, and the hole became even bigger.
Su Qingyun asked Jing Huan to go down first, and Jing Huan did so.
Then she jumped onto Jing Huan, who was agile and caught her with his hands.
Su Qingyun went down to the cellar smoothly.
Because the power switch in the distribution room was turned on, the cellar was very bright at this time.
Su Qingyun became a little bolder. She walked to the manhole cover, bent down and lifted it up.
There was only one staircase at the bottom of the well, and there was light inside.
"Follow me." Su Qingyun waved to Jing Huan and went down the well first.
The stairs were made of wood. When Su Qingyun stepped on them, the wooden stairs made a creaking sound and seemed not very sturdy.
When the call came down, the stairs began to shake, as if they would fall apart in the next second.
Su Qingyun asked Jing Huan to be careful.
"What is this place?"
"have no idea."
He was called down the stairs, but because he was too tall, he couldn't stand up straight after coming down.
Su Qingyun realized that the space underground was a bit small.
The height should be around 1.8 meters, and you may have to bend down to cut the leaves.
As for the size, it’s less than ten square meters.
Su Qingyun began to scan the furnishings inside, which included a table, a bed, a sofa, and a simple wardrobe.
There is a carpet on the floor, a tablecloth on the table, and a beautiful colorful blanket on the sofa.
The room is small but warm, and there is a faint fragrance in the air, a fragrance belonging to a young girl.
Su Qingyun walked to the bed. The bed was made of rags and it felt like someone had been lying on it not long ago.
There was a book on the bedside table with a beautiful bookmark stuck in the middle of the page. Su Qingyun picked up the book and looked at the cover. There were four big words written on the cover: "Forbidden Love"
She turned the book to the place where the bookmark was inserted. The last words on the page were: The good girl invited Miss Yu Shan, the evil witch.
Next page, no text.
How come there is a plot about her?
Su Qingyun read a few more paragraphs and finally found that the book was about the common experience of the seven of them.
"Why does the plot end here? It's so strange."
Su Qingyun put the book back in its place.
She opened the wardrobe, and there were several skirts in the wardrobe. They were all very simple gauze skirts. The style looked very similar to the ones worn by Snow White in the fairy tale book, with a blue corset on top and a white skirt underneath.
She closed the wardrobe and looked at the table again. There was a plate of food on the table, a plate of boiled potatoes.
Su Qingyun touched the potatoes with her hand and found that they were already cold, apparently they had been left out for some time.
"Is there any strange aura?" Su Qingyun asked Jing Huan.
Jing Huan shook his head, "No, but there is a strange smell."
"Why is it strange?"
"I can't say."
Since Jing Huan couldn't explain it, Su Qingyun stopped asking. She looked around and saw that there was no other entrance or exit, so she decided to return the same way.
She returned to the cellar and asked Jinghuan to close the manhole cover. Her eyes stopped at the fifth box that had not been opened before.
Do you want to go over and try again?
Su Qingyun thought so and did so. She went over and tried to open it again, but unexpectedly it opened this time.
The fifth box contained a ten-inch jewelry box. The jewelry box was very retro and had some floral and bird patterns on it. It was very exquisite.
Su Qingyun opened the jewelry box, revealing a ruby necklace.
"Do you want it?" Jing Huan asked her.
Su Qingyun didn't say anything, she picked it up and looked at it.
Jing Huan added, "This should be very valuable if we can take it out of the manor."
Su Qingyun was thinking about another question: could this necklace be Ye Jian's mission?
But Ye Jian’s mission was to find Du Xiaoyue’s gem necklace, not a ruby necklace.
But whether it was true or not, she had to take the necklace.
Su Qingyun closed the jewelry box and handed it to Jing Huan, "Give it to your master later to see if it's what he wants."
She called out "Oh" and took the jewelry box in her hand.
Su Qingyun stood up and was about to leave when she noticed that the manhole cover that she had just closed moved.
Is there actually someone under the manhole cover?
Did she hide just now?
Su Qingyun walked to the manhole cover and gestured to Jing Huan.
After being called over, he squatted down and opened the manhole cover again, and a fat rat jumped out from inside.
Su Qingyun was horrified and quickly hid behind Jing Huan.
Jing Huan raised his foot and crushed the big rat into a meat patty.
The smell of blood filled the entire cellar.
