Chapter 112
The teacher asked Leyuan many questions.
Leyuan shook his head and refused immediately. He said to the teacher with an apologetic and anxious look on his face, "I'm sorry, teacher, I can't sit here any longer. If I continue to sit here like this, I will feel like I am completely useless and of no use at all. I really want to see him, but I don't know where he is. This is very worrying."
I can't help but imagine that he might be in danger. I really need to see him right now. If he can appear in front of me right now, then this problem will be solved and I can slow down. But now he doesn't appear, I can't sit here, please forgive me, teacher."
The teacher smiled, waved his hand and said, "Okay. You speak so sincerely and you have a point. Just go out. Anyway, you have already attended class today. As for the homework, I will give it to you tomorrow or next time when you have time and are not in a hurry. You can deal with it according to your time and hand it in to me. Do you understand?"
Rakuen nodded.
The teacher said, "Okay, go ahead."
Leyuan stepped over the threshold and walked out. The teacher looked at his back, shook his head, and murmured, "I don't know why he is so impatient. He is just a servant. What's the big deal? He doesn't look poor or miserable. It's a bit too much for him to care about a servant."
Leyuan didn't care about what was said behind him. After he walked out, he looked around and thought that he had already looked in the direction of his teacher's residence before. Instead of going there again, he might as well change direction. He walked towards his own residence, opened the door, and looked around. He didn't find Sick Aga, nor did he see any note he left for him. He met other servants on the way.
Leyuan walked over and asked, "Excuse me, have you seen my servant?"
The servant who passed by shook his head: "We don't know, we didn't come out before, we were working in the kitchen."
Leyuan nodded: "Oh."
The servant left. Leyuan thought that maybe Sick Aga was hungry, so she went to the kitchen to eat in advance. Leyuan walked into the kitchen, but Sick Aga was not there. Leyuan asked other people in the kitchen, and they all shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Le Yuan sighed inwardly and walked out. Without noticing, he was bumped into by a servant who was holding something and lowering his head to cover his eyes. The man's things were all over the floor. Le Yuan apologized while squatting on the floor to pick up the things.
The man shook his head: "I don't know, but you can go look for it in the yard. Maybe he forgot to come back because he was having too much fun."
Leyuan stood up hesitantly and walked out.
When he walked into the courtyard, he did not see Bing Ajia, but saw some other people, none of whom he recognized. Leyuan hesitated for a moment, walked over and asked: "Have you seen Bing Ajia? He is my servant."
Those people shook their heads and said, "I don't know."
Leyuan nodded and was about to leave. Suddenly, someone called out to him from the corner, "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Don't you want to find someone? Why are you walking so fast? It's so annoying. If you don't know, you'd think you were in a hurry to be reincarnated. It was too late for me to say anything."
The man appeared in front of Leyuan, panting. Leyuan slowly turned around and saw that it was a child. He was immediately disappointed, but he was unwilling to give up the clues that might appear in front of him, so he asked with a glimmer of hope: "Do you know the sick Aga?"
The child shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I called you because I knew there was a dog hole. Some skinny people could get in and out through that hole. Originally, the hole was left so that they could secretly give the excess kitchen garbage to stray cats and dogs for disposal. Who would have known that now there are fewer and fewer stray cats and dogs, and they eat more and more, and they grow bigger and fatter, making it impossible for them to get in and out.
Gradually, there was nothing in the hole and it was noticed by other people. They started to discuss that maybe the hole could be used for entry and exit. Some people tried to go out from there. They didn't need to go through the gatehouse, open and close doors, be questioned, or comply with the access control. For most people who like to play, it was a good intersection. If they happened to be thin, the passage was not narrow.
You know what I mean, right?"
The child looked at the park and raised an eyebrow at him.
Leyuan hesitated and took out some money from his sleeve and gave it to him.
The child rushed over, tried it out, and felt that it was real. He smiled enthusiastically at the amusement park and said, "Hey, just go and see it. If you can't see it, come back and find me."
Leyuan thought, if I fail to find you by now, it will be dark already. If I come to look for you again, I won't know where you are. I'm afraid you will ask me for money again, and I won't be able to tell you anything useful, so I'd rather not mention it.
He forced a smile and nodded, and the child ran away. Before leaving, he turned sideways and waved goodbye to him. Leyuan turned around and walked away slowly.
He thought about it and went to the dog hole the child mentioned. He squatted there for a while. He didn't see anyone passing by and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a rustling sound. Leyuan quickly moved his hands and feet to prevent himself from being unable to catch the person who appeared because of numbness in his body.
Maybe it can be used as a clue?
Paradise took a deep breath and waited quietly.
The sound gradually disappeared, and Leyuan waited for a while, until he thought that the people outside had left and were not going to come in. He wanted to leave in disappointment, but then he thought that if he left now, he might have wasted the waiting time, so he might as well wait a little longer. Leyuan waited here for a while, until the surroundings were very quiet and the sky had completely darkened. Leyuan was disappointed.
He didn't want to leave now, maybe because he still had some fantasies in his heart.
He just sat there, looking at the hole, tilting his head, thinking about something. He wondered where Bing Ajia was now. Maybe he had returned to his residence and was waiting for someone.
A person suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, with only his head showing. He stretched his neck hard, trying to get in. Leyuan blinked his eyes and suddenly became alert. He rushed over and waited for the person to squirm in the cave for half a day without coming out completely. Leyuan lost his patience, crawled over suddenly, held the person down, and pressed him to the ground.
"Tell me! Who are you? How dare you come here at night and break in? Do you admit your crime?"
Paradise questioned.
"I, I just sneaked out to eat some roast chicken. I didn't do anything against the law! Please don't misunderstand me! Don't send me to the government! I really don't dare to do it again! I will never dare to sneak out to eat meat again! Please, forgive me this time. Just this time? I won't dare to do it next time. Wuwuwu——"
This seemed to be a servant living in the house.
Leyuan hesitated for a moment, and the man wanted to run away, so he immediately got up and twisted his waist, trying to push Leyuan off him. Leyuan immediately grabbed his clothes tightly, and his nails dug into his skin without hesitation. Blood came out from the gaps between his nails. After being hit, the man screamed, staggered, and waved his arms wildly, trying to pull Leyuan off.
The paradise was scratched by his nails. He seemed to realize that this could hurt the person who wanted to subdue himself. He suddenly became happy, sneered, and slammed his slap of the park. The paradise punching on the neck of this person could only hear it. I didn't know if the neck was broken or the bones were cracking.
Like a seagull with its wings spread out, feathers disheveled after a failed landing.
Leyuan sneered, raised his fist and pinned the man to the ground, questioning: "Why are you running? You just said you went out to cheat, but there must be more to it! Otherwise, are you so guilty?"
The servant began to cry bitterly, trying to get Leyuan to soften her heart and let him go quickly. He sobbed and said incoherently, "You don't know, you don't know! I am in so much pain, I am dying."
After searching for a man in the park for most of the day without success, he was already very annoyed. After hearing him crying like that, he was immediately furious. He grabbed his clothes, pulled him up, and punched him to the ground. The soil on the ground was very soft, and the man's chin was half stuck in the soil. Although he was still sobbing, he no longer dared to change the topic as he did before.
Leyuan asked, "Do you want to die or live? If you want to die, I will grant your wish! Do you think I am afraid of you and therefore dare not do anything to you? You have wasted so much of my time, and before I could settle the score with you, you wanted to run away first. Do you think I am so easy to fool? Your grandpa is not a coward!"
The servant cried.
Leyuan grabbed him and punched him again. There was a clicking sound and his jaw seemed to be out of place. He could not cry any louder. He just twisted his expression and looked even more aggrieved. However, Leyuan could see clearly that his eyes were flashing with ferocity. He was intentionally using his crying to attract other people to come and disrupt Leyuan's affairs.
He just didn't want to tell Le Yuan about it. Le Yuan sneered in his heart but looked too lazy to bother with him any more. Instead of wasting time here, he might as well leave and continue looking for someone.
Even if I have to look for someone by myself, it is better than mobilizing a large number of people, being restricted in movement, and not being able to find the person.
Leyuan thought about it and said to the servant, "I see that you are a person who wants to die. Although I don't like to kill innocent sinners, I am determined to help you. I remember there is a cellar nearby. Just let me throw you in. After three or five days, you will die in it. You don't have to dirty my hands, and you don't have to ruin my business. What do you think?"
The servant's eyes widened, and he realized that Paradise really wanted to do this. He burst into tears, but when he realized that crying was useless, he sobbed and begged for mercy, saliva dripping from his mouth, and he was extremely disgusted.
Leyuan picked him up and walked halfway, but it was too much trouble to drag him. She threw him on the ground, stepped on him with one foot, bent down and asked, "You want to talk this time? It's too late! I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Who knows what you want to say? If it's useless, it will just waste my time. I'm not such a leisurely person. I advise you to save your energy now, so that you can be better off later."
The servant hugged Le Yuan's legs and cried, defending himself by saying, "I didn't mean to hurt you, sir! Please forgive me this time! I won't dare to do it again."
Leyuan said, "When you said you would never do it again, you immediately got up and ran away and tried to hit me. How can I believe you when you say this this time?"
The servant looked embarrassed and lowered his head. Soon, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "What does the lord want to ask me? I will tell you everything I know!"
Leyuan said, "It's not that I don't want to ask you, but you didn't give me a chance to ask you before. Since you ask now, I will tell you. I want to find someone, my servant. Have you seen him?"
The servant thought for a moment, then said to Le Yuan with difficulty, "I know a little bit. I saw your servant outside. It seems that he was caught and taken away while doing his work in the mansion. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."
Le Yuan's face changed, and he grabbed the servant by the collar and asked, "Are you telling the truth?!"
The servant nodded cautiously, shrank his neck, held his chin, covered half of his face, blinked his eyes, looked at the amusement park and said: "Yes, I am not lying, I was outside, I really saw the master's servant, the man was tied up, a group of people locked him in a cage, and made fun of him. When I passed by, I didn't dare to look closely, but I heard them talking."
Leyuan frowned: "What did they say?!"
The servant lowered his eyes. "They said that if we can't catch the master, it's the same to catch the servant. What things can't be used? What people are not human? Just catch them and don't talk about it later! Who is afraid of whom? If a young master was missing in such a big mansion, they would be anxious and angry, but only a servant is missing. There is no reason for them to trace us. We can sit back and have fun without any worries!
Hahaha."
The servant looked carefully at the paradise and continued to imitate what he remembered hearing: "Those people laughed and covered the cage with a black cloth. There was a person inside the black cloth. I glanced over and found that he looked familiar. I didn't recognize him at first, but then I remembered that I had met that person before when I was walking on the road. That person was the master's personal servant.
The reason we have met before is because last night, when we were walking on the road, he seemed to be talking to someone. I don't know where that person was standing. Anyway, I didn't see him when I passed by. I just heard him talking. It was a back and forth conversation, but I didn't see the person or the figure, the face, clothes, shoes or anything like that. As soon as I got closer, he noticed me.
When he noticed me, he turned around and looked like he was threatening me. He was very ferocious and I didn't dare to look at him any longer. I just wanted to hide away. However, he saw me and I couldn't hide away either. I could only lower my head, as if I heard and saw nothing.
Moreover, I indeed did not see any other people, I only heard some strange noises. Judging from his reaction and attitude, there should have been someone opposite him. However, he was not sure whether I had seen that person, so he told me that I could leave.
I'm not sure if he meant that I shouldn't tell it later, but I didn't dare to tell it, for fear that I would be caught and killed. He looked really fierce at the time, and I didn't expect that he would be like this in the daytime. I was even more afraid to tell it, so when I was caught by the adults, I tried desperately to escape. If I could get rid of the adults, I would be fine. After all, my face was pressed against the dirt.
I thought, the adults probably didn’t see me, and didn’t see my face clearly. I thought it was my good fortune that I could run away tonight. After that, as long as I didn’t remember what happened tonight and didn’t mention anything related to these things, I thought I would be safe. Who knew that I couldn’t run away tonight? ! Please don’t blame me, adults. I still want to live.
Please, sir, don’t kill me! Wuwuwu——I’m just a coward. I haven’t done anything against the law! I don’t deserve to die! Wuwuwu——Please, sir, I promise, this is the last time, I really won’t tell anyone what happened tonight.
Le Yuan sneered, "No? Didn't you say you didn't want to talk about what happened yesterday, but you said you didn't want to talk about what happened today, but you did. Now you tell me you won't tell anyone about what happened tonight. How can I believe you? You are such a liar. Even though you said these things to me, how can I believe that what you said is true?
God knows that these words are not made up by you to deceive me into going out late at night and causing trouble? Tell me!"
The servant was depressed. Indeed, he could not prove that he would not let the cat out of the bag later, nor could he prove that he really did not say anything, because he had no evidence. He could only lower his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, sir, it's all my fault. I lied, it's my fault. I sneaked out, it's my fault. I resisted your arrest, it's my fault. I wanted to attack you, it's still my fault..."
Wuwuwuwu——I really didn’t mean it! Sir, please, believe me this time! It’s really not a lie! What’s true can’t be false, and what’s false can’t be true. If you believe me this time, you won’t suffer a loss or be deceived. You didn’t give me a penny! Wuwuwuwu——I really lost a lot. If you believe me, how dare I gamble with my life? "
Leyuan said noncommittally, "That's not necessarily true. Some people like to gamble their lives with others. Who knows if you are that kind of person? Moreover, even if you say you are not, your repeated attempts to cover up and lie to me have proven that you cannot be trusted. Of course, you cannot believe everything you say. If someone completely believes it, I don't know how he will die."
The servant cried, "How can you say that to me? I am serious! I am not lying. I dare not die. Please forgive me this time."
Leyuan said, "If I forgive someone like you once, you will suffer endless troubles. Why should I forgive you?"
The servant said, "Because I can help, I can show the way, I can lead you out and cover up for you, I can show you where I saw those people during the day, where I saw the cage covered with black cloth, and where I heard those people talking! I can help! I am very useful, sir!"
Leyuan was doubtful: "Well, I'll let you go this time. Since you said you are so useful, you have to take me out. You are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Do you understand?"
The servant nodded repeatedly.
Paradise said: "Then let's go now!"
He originally wanted to make his servant swear an oath, but then he thought that swearing would be useless because some people would break their promise even if they swore.
What's more, the servant was full of lies. It would be better to believe that he could take her to the place where Bing Aga was last seen before he disappeared than to believe his oath.
The servant groaned and wanted to refuse, but seeing Leyuan's expression, he knew that this matter could not be delayed. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded very reluctantly and agreed, saying, "Okay, we will leave now. Then, sir, can you let me go? I won't run away."
After hearing what he said, Leyuan half-believingly let go of his hand. As expected, as soon as Leyuan let go, the servant jumped up and wanted to run. It was hard for him to still have so much energy to be so lively. Leyuan snorted coldly and immediately reached out to grab the man. The servant fell to the ground with a thud, this time facing down with his back to Leyuan. Leyuan walked to his side.
The servant tried to get up, but Leyuan stepped on his arched back and asked, "Do you like running away so much? Haven't you lied enough? You think I trust you too much and I will definitely not do anything to you, right? Are you so sure that I will show you mercy? You are incredible.
What do you think I am? A ball in a stone lion's mouth? A ball of yarn in a cat's hand? For you to kick around?
Le Yuan sneered and said to him, "Look, how should I deal with you? Regardless of whether you can lead me to find the person, or whether the things you said to me that you might find the person are true or false, I just want to ask you, how are you going to deal with the several times you lied to me? You think this matter can be discussed later, so it doesn't matter how many times it happens, right? I demand that you give me an answer right now!"
Leyuan's expression darkened, and he looked like a judge who had crawled out of Hell, with a dark face and the dim and cold moonlight behind him. The servant shuddered deeply, feeling that if he could not answer now, it would be more painful than death. He was seized by an indescribable fear, and he felt that he was captured as a prey. He suddenly picked up a stone.
Leyuan thought he was going to attack him and stepped back a little, but then he thought that even if the other party wanted to attack him, he must have the courage and ability to do so, so he stopped. He saw the servant hit one of his legs at the knee with the stone, and his face immediately turned pale and his expression was distorted. He opened his mouth and a crackling sound came from his throat, and he was in great pain.
The servant cried out: "Ah——"
But he did not dare to shout out loud, so he quickly threw away the stone, covered his mouth, lowered his head, and fell to the ground on all fours. With a sincere look, he kowtowed to Le Yuan and said, "This is my sincerity. Please don't punish me anymore. I already know I was wrong. I won't run away anymore. I can't run away without a leg."
Leyuan reluctantly believed him and frowned as she said, "If that's the case, how can you go out with me when you're like this? You're not going to tell me that you can't ask me to go out with you anymore because you broke your own leg, right? You did it yourself, you said it yourself, you're not going to deny it, are you?"
The servant smiled weakly, "How could that be? Since I have heard you say you were going out, I can't forget it now. I will go out with you." Then you told the doorman that I accidentally fell down and hit a stone nearby at night, breaking half of my leg. You are kind-hearted and want to take me out for treatment. You don't want to disturb others, so don't make it public.
Even if the concierge doesn't allow me to go out, he will open the door and let us go for the sake of adults."
Leyuan said, "You've killed three birds with one stone. If you cut off your leg, you can avoid my punishment, and you can go out and get treatment. If you can get well, you'll just be in pain for a while. Compared to your own life, this is still a good thing. Maybe you can even continue to lie. What a good plan."
The servant smiled weakly. "How dare I plot against you, my Lord? You are willing to spare my life, and I am grateful to you. My Lord, instead of continuing to suspect me here, why don't we go to the door and try this road now?"
Leyuan asked: "So, do you want to walk by yourself, or do you want me to help you walk?"
The servant looked at his legs, which were covered in sweat, and then looked at the mud on his clothes from crawling on the ground. He smiled helplessly and said, "I definitely can't walk out by myself in this state. I can only ask you to help me out. Although it's painful, there's nothing we can do."
Leyuan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll help you then."
The servant had an instinctive intention to pick up a stone and smash it on Leyuan's head, but he stretched out his hand, and Leyuan saw it. He put his hand away embarrassedly and curled up his fingers. There were many sweat stains on his palms. Maybe he thought it would be difficult to do it in front of others, or maybe he didn't mean to do it that way, he just thought it was easy to do.
If it's not dry, it's not dry.
Leyuan retracted her gaze and said to him, "You show the way. When we get outside, you lead the way. If we can't find anything, I will make trouble for you. You know what I mean, right?"
The servant nodded.
The concierge saw them and asked in confusion, "Why are you out at this time? Are you going out? But didn't the master tell me that he would open the door for you today?"
The servant said angrily, "Do you think everyone is like you? Do you have to wait for the adults to tell you to do something? If you do it well, you may not get a reward, but if you do it badly, you will be kicked out!"
The concierge was horrified and asked, "Is it really that serious?"
The servant said in a threatening tone, "Of course! Do you think so? Look at me, and then look at the young master. We are in such a state now, how could we still have the energy to make up a lie to deceive you?"
Paradise smiled.
It looks quite subtle.
The doorman asked doubtfully, "So you're leaving now?"
The servant nodded and said, "Yes."
The concierge asked, "What are you doing out here?"
The servant said, "What else can we do? We went out to get treatment!"
When the concierge heard the word "cure illness", he frowned and said, "But, hasn't the master already found a second teacher for the young master to teach him medicine? If the young master learns medicine, curing illnesses should be common for him, right? Besides, a doctor's medical skills are not acquired in vain, he must have some connections, right? If he doesn't have any connections, how can he have good medical skills?"
The servant shouted, "What do you know? How long has it been since the second teacher came? Even if a student learns quickly, he must progress step by step! How can one learn to the point of becoming a master in just one day? If we don't become a master, we can treat others casually, just because we are from a small family and have thick skin and flesh, so it's not easy for us to get into trouble. But if we treat high-ranking officials one day, will we be able to do that casually?"
Do you think those rich people are like us, who can do whatever they want and be grateful if they are given some medicine? But they have to ask before prescribing the medicine whether the herbs are very expensive and whether a lot of things are needed. We are very poor people, but those people are different. Not only are they not poor, they are also very idle. They want the most expensive, best and most herbs. If they don’t eat well, they will ask someone for help. If they feel uncomfortable after eating, they will ask someone again.
Do you think those things are so easy? "
After hearing this, the doorman frowned, feeling that there was nothing he could do. He wanted to let the person go, but he also felt that if he just let the person go, he would have responsibilities if someone asked about it. He couldn't just send the person out with a few words. If things got out of hand, he would not only be responsible for letting the person go, but also for anything that might happen to the person outside.
He was hesitant in his heart, and it showed on his face. The servant opposite him felt that the matter was about to be accomplished, so he smiled amiably and said, "Don't worry, it may be my own business for me to go out alone, but don't I have a young master with me? Can the young master deceive you? Even if the young master deceived you, if the young master asked you to open the door, can you say I didn't open it?
I advise you to listen to me. Open the door now and let us go out, otherwise we will be caught here and thought we are arguing. If we are really misunderstood, it will not be clear in just a few words. If the time comes, others will secretly complain about you. Our business will be ruined, and how can you get away with it?
Don't think that the master doesn't know about this. What doesn't the master know? The master knows everything that happens in this room. Not only is the master very good at hearing and seeing, but the people around him are all very well-informed in the mansion. They know what we do downstairs, and the master must know it. The master knows it but doesn't stop us. Doesn't this prove that we are doing the right thing?
The master didn't stop us, so who are you to stop us? Do you think you can beat the master? The master is still the master in charge of this mansion. Don't go too far. We have already said this, so I'll say a few more words to you. Let's be frank. Don't disbelieve me. How is the master usually? How is he now? You should know in your heart.
We didn’t make this up.
We are going to leave secretly, and try not to be seen, but why do you think the adults don't stop us?"
The concierge asked in confusion: "Why?"
This question is a trap.
The servant clapped his hands and asked him to lean against him. He managed to steady himself and walked to the side of the gatehouse. He said with a smile, "That's the right question! Others may not know, but I do. I tell you the truth, the master wants to see us go out. We are going out for something that no one else knows. If this thing succeeds, the master will be happy and we will be better off.
If this thing doesn't work out, the adults won't know about it. On the surface, we haven't suffered any loss. This is also the result of a tacit understanding between the adults and us. If you go to their house and ask them openly, then it will definitely not work. Don't disbelieve it. If you dare to ask the adults in person, you will see whether the adults will be angry or not! When adults are angry, they are not easy to deal with. We will just let it go.
Do you think that if you don't even leave the house, what will the master think of you after knowing it? Even if the master doesn't deliberately deal with you, the master will not do anything to deliberately target a servant, but do you think others will let you off easily? There won't be many twists and turns between servants. There is no need for that.
Adults are broad-minded and don't care about your mistakes, but we may not be so.
Adults may not do anything to you, but when we do something, we are much more ruthless. Do you know why? Stealing someone's money is like killing their parents. This is an irreconcilable hatred! If you don't let us go, you have to think it through. I have explained the matter so clearly. Even if you don't understand, you have to choose the path you want and walk it yourself. "
Although it is said like this, it really sounds like it is saying that if you want to go to your own death, we can't do anything about it. There is really nothing we can do. Just do whatever you want.
The concierge was frightened by all these words, choked up, and asked with a tearful face, "Then if I let you out, is it really okay?"
The servant smiled and said, "Don't worry. If there is any problem, you won't be asked. We two went out on our own. The young master is more noble than you. If you want to stop him, you have to be able to stop him, right? If you are blamed, at most he will be angry and it will be over soon. If you don't let him go out and get seen by others, you will be the first to bear the brunt of the blame. You don't want things to turn out like that, right? That would be terrible."
The doorman nodded repeatedly, having been convinced. He thought, I just let them out, I didn't run away with them, what should I be afraid of? Even if they want to blame me, they shouldn't blame me, this is not my fault. There are two of them, and I am alone. If I try to stop them, I may not be able to do it. It's better to let them go. It's a good thing if they come back as soon as possible.
If things are done, I have a share in it. If things are not done well, it has nothing to do with me. If someone asks me, and says it has something to do with me, I will just say I don't know. If others ask me, I will also just say I don't know. Your Excellency is indeed a magnanimous person. I think he won't care too much about me when he hears me say I don't know.
If they sneaked out and the adults didn't know anything about it, even if they asked me, I wouldn't be able to tell them. The adults would definitely be extremely worried and would have to find the people who ran away first. The focus would not be on me. Since the focus is not on me, I would not be tortured. I have nothing to be afraid of. Even if someone does something to me, it would be in private.
Personal intentions don't mean anything. As long as the adults don't want to kill me, there is still room for maneuver.
Now that we've come to this point, it's not impossible to open the door and let them out. If they could get out of here, they would have done so long ago and wouldn't have wasted their words with me here.
The concierge smiled and said, "Okay. I'll open the door for you. You go out quietly. Don't be noisy and don't alarm other people. Otherwise, I won't be able to do anything. Even if I want to cover it up for you, I really can't say anything else. Please forgive me."
The servant nodded repeatedly: "I see, no matter how you think about it, it's not your fault. Don't worry, even if we met other people on the road outside and were brought back by them, they would not say you were wrong."
With this assurance, the doorman smiled and quickly opened the door. The door was only a crack open. The doorman looked around, waved to the two people in front of him and said, "This is it. You can get out quickly. Remember to come back quickly. Also, try not to make any noise when you come back. I will secretly watch you through the crack in the door. Just wait for me to open the door. Don't be nervous."
The servant nodded and squeezed out through the gap, followed closely by Le Yuan. The doorman quickly closed the door, locked it, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if this matter has passed here at the concierge, it would be best if these two people could come back as soon as possible and nothing happened. But if they can't come back for a while and the matter is exposed and discovered, he will just be clueless.
The concierge comforted his nervously beating heart, turned around, and was about to sit down when he suddenly saw a black shadow appear beside him. He was startled and jumped up and asked, "Who is it!?"
The man walked out slowly and said with a smile: "So you don't even recognize me?"
The concierge took a closer look, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down again, smiling, "So it's you. Didn't you say you wouldn't come tonight? Have you finished your business?"
"It's done, so I want to come here quickly. If no one passes by, it will be the two of us on duty tonight, and I can rest for a while afterwards. Playing is always more fun than working. Isn't it?"
The porter's companion walked over to the porter, took out a small stool hidden in the corner, sat down, and smiled next to the porter.
The concierge gradually relaxed his vigilance, nodded and said, "Since you think so, it's not impossible. Tonight, let's just take turns on duty. If anything happens, you have to wait for it."
He thought, if the matter is exposed, I will bear the responsibility alone, wouldn't it be too painful? If there are two of us together, I will be much more relaxed and not so nervous. After all, if one person is arrested, he may be beheaded, but if a group of people are arrested, they may not all die.
Haha, I'm so smart.
The concierge nodded and asked with a smile, "Hey, come to think of it, why is there a bit of mud here? Whose shoes stepped on it when they passed by here?"
The doorman's heart suddenly shrank. He almost thought he was having a heart attack. He lowered his head and trembled as he looked at the ground. His fellow doorman held his shoulders and laughed, "I'm kidding you. Do you think there's really dirt here? Usually no one wants to go out. Even if someone wants to go out, they won't go through this door. This is the quietest place in the doorhouse. How could there be other people here?"
These words somehow sounded like a probing question.
The concierge glanced at his companion, who had a sweaty forehead, and thought to himself, whenever I have free time, I must find an opportunity to have a good rest for a while. He raised his hand and wiped his forehead, and the sweat immediately wet the back of his hand. He looked at the sweat beads on the back of his hand, stood up, and smiled at his companion: "Indeed, no, I thought I accidentally got it dirty when I walked over."
My companion laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if the ground is dirty. No one comes here usually. We just clean it up when no one comes. Even if it's not clean, it's clean. There's nothing to be afraid of. After all, if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. We haven't seen ghosts, and we haven't killed anyone. What is there to be afraid of?"
The doorman didn't know whether his companion really knew about his affairs, but he was tired of the feeling of being repeatedly tested.
He felt as if he had been stabbed with a knife. He was furious and sneered, "You also know that you didn't kill anyone. Why did you ask for leave when you didn't have anything to do? Why did you ask me to take your place when you didn't have anything to do? Why were you in such a hurry to leave every time when you didn't have anything to do? I see that you really have nothing to do, but you were in a hurry and drank and made mistakes!
If you don't have a brain, I advise you to eat some pig's brain to make up for the loss!
If you don't have a tongue, I advise you to eat a piece of beef tongue, which is also a way to make up for the shape!
If you can't do manly things, then go eat bullwhips and pig whips. Why bother with me? I've heard enough of your sour words! Is it my fault that I do a good job? Did you arrange for me to work here? Is it my fault that I'm doing your job? I shouldn't have agreed to your request. I shouldn't have done the work of two people by myself, right?
Stop pretending to be stupid in front of me. You are taking advantage of me and still acting like a good kid. There is no one as shameless as you in the world!"
The companion was stunned for a moment, not daring to say those nasty words anymore, and smiled at the doorman: "Oh, sorry, I was drunk and talked nonsense, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, I will buy you a bottle of wine to make amends someday, please don't take it to heart, let's just forget about it. I won't tell anyone else. You don't tell anyone else either.
We are still getting along fine, what's wrong with that?"
The concierge rubbed his nose, snorted coldly, and turned his head away: "What should I be ashamed of? It's not me who is late. Why can't I live in peace? I promised you something and did it for you. You were obviously late, but you still want to ask me for help. I am not someone who can be easily bullied. Don't think I am such a casual person! Besides, do I really want your pot of wine?
Even if you kneel down and beg me, I don't want anything from someone like you.
What you said is an insult to me. You don't shut up your stinky mouth and keep talking nonsense here. It's really annoying. A tiger doesn't show its power. Do you think I'm a sick cat? You can torture me as you like? Humph, if something like this happens again next time, don't blame me. I will kill you with a knife! No one in your family can escape!
I didn’t kill you because I’m kindhearted, not because you can push your luck! Don’t act like a young master in front of me.”
The companion nodded repeatedly in a perfunctory and impatient tone: "I know. I know."
The concierge snorted coldly, "You know? You know shit! What do you know? If you knew, you wouldn't say these things. You know nothing, and yet you're here pretending to know everything. Bah. People who don't know think I'm your son. I'm not that bad. I advise you to keep your mind clear. Don't throw dirty things on others when you see them.
Bullshit, who are you? I'm not a garbage collector, nor a sewage pool. Do you think I can just do whatever you want? You really don't have the guts to do that."
My companion had a pretty good temper. After being scolded for so long, he just nodded and didn't say anything else. After a while, the doorman finally vented all his resentment, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt much more relaxed. He managed to put on a smile. He felt good, so he started to take things out of his pocket.
He took out a pot of wine and looked at his companion, who came over with a smile, as if nothing had happened before. The two brothers drank the same pot of wine and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the weather today is really good, isn't it? Isn't it? Very good! Hahaha! Hahaha!"
After Leyuan and the servant walked out of the door, they walked for a while and finally arrived at the destination. Suddenly, the servant looked confused and said to Leyuan, "Oh no, it's not bright enough. It's not the same as during the day. I feel a little lost now."
Leyuan frowned and asked, "You mean you don't recognize the road?"
He looked around, sneered in his heart, and said, "Forget it, I'll just remember how to get back, you just look for it outside, if you can find it, it's our good fortune, if not, you and I will die together."
The servant looked pale and asked, "Although we may not be able to find it, it shouldn't be that bad, right?"
Le Yuan smiled and said, "Ah, you don't think so? Let me ask you, what is the crime of leaving the mansion without permission? What is the crime of concealing something? What is the crime of being discovered walking on the road at night? I don't know if there is a curfew here, but the road is so deserted. If an official walks by, you and I will inevitably embarrass the master. If you want to embarrass the master, it is better to end it yourself.
Even if you don't want to die, there is nothing wrong here. During the day, someone can forcefully take my servants away from the house. At night, such things will only increase, not decrease. Do you think it is so easy to solve? Ha, if you believe that nonsense that the country is peaceful and the people are safe so you can go out at night, I tell you, either your brain is broken, or the world is broken.
You pick one.”
The servant smiled awkwardly, turned his head and whispered, "It can't be that bad, can it? If everything was broken, how could we still be alive today?"
Leyuan walked behind him, and her voice went forward faintly: "Yes, everything has been broken long ago, but we are still alive today, why is that? Because you and I are not human, we should have died long ago, and the reason we are still alive today is not entirely because of the great kindness of the adults? This should not be said outside, because some people are jealous, and some people are sneaky.
If they heard us, they would kill us. But I think that now that we are all out, it doesn't matter if we just say a few words. Even if someone hears us, that's it. Anyway, we are walking out of a dead end. I won't be polite to you. If you can't find anyone, we can die together. It's still clean."
The servant cried and asked, "Why should I die with you for such a strange reason?"
The park director sighed and said, "Because we don't have much time to live anyway."
The servant said, "The problem is, I am not a sickly person, nor am I short-lived, so why can't I live? I think I can live a hundred years, because the rest of my family members are alive. They are all older than me, but they are still alive. I am younger than them, so how could I possibly die before them? Please don't say anything, or else I will die in a pothole on the road before I can find anyone!"
Leyuan said, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. It's up to you. But if you can't find it, you can't not go back while you're still alive. You lied to the concierge, don't you think it's hard to explain why you went back?"
The servant smiled and said, "What's so hard to explain? Just tell us the truth, and the master won't blame us. Although we can't avoid being blamed, it's reasonable for the master to be a little angry because we ran out so rashly. We will be punished. After all, we won't die because of an accident on the road."
Le Yuan sneered, "That may not be the case. Since you said so, I have to believe you. Just look for it. Maybe you won't die."
The servant said, "You are really good at saying unlucky things."
Leyuan replied: "I am like this. You can listen to it or not. You can do it or not."
That being said, if the servant really dared to quit, Leyuan would be the first to kill him and send him to the government.
"Don't you think there's something wrong?"
The servant walked on the road, searched for a long time, and suddenly turned around and asked about the paradise.
He looked a little confused.
Leyuan didn't know what he was wondering about, so he asked, "Why?"
The servant replied, "We have been walking for so long and there is no one around. Isn't that unusual?"
Leyuan said: "The sky is like this now. It's not normal, but it's normal. Anything that happens at night is normal."
The servant was skeptical: "But it feels too quiet, and there seems to be no one around. Don't you think so? Ever since we walked out of that door, the outside world has been different."
"It's normal for the inside to be a little different from the outside," said Rakuen.
The servant shook his head: "No, no, I mean, we have come to another world."
Leyuan was silent for a while, then reached out and touched his forehead, muttering in confusion: "Strange, he doesn't have a fever, why did he start talking nonsense?"
The servant was at a loss for words: "Thank you so much for caring about my health, but we are not on the same page!"
Leyuan said: "Don't worry about that. Just tell me where I can get out."
The servant squinted his eyes and asked, "Do you mean that you have already believed that this is another world? I thought I needed a more detailed explanation before you could believe me."
He lowered his head and muttered a little embarrassedly: "After all, I have had so many previous convictions. It's really unexpected that you can trust me."
Le Yuan frowned and asked, "You mean, are you still lying to me now?"
The servant raised his head quickly, waved his hand to deny it, and smiled awkwardly: "No, no!"
He looked around and said to the park, "We've walked for a while and haven't seen anyone. Why don't we knock on a random door? To be honest, I don't think everyone should be asleep at this time."
Leyuan was skeptical: "So do you go knock on the door or should I?"
The servant laughed and said, "Of course we go together. How can it be convenient for me with only one leg?"
Leyuan helped him walk to the door of someone else's house, and while listening to the knock on the door, she said, "You are amazing. I didn't tell you before that you are the one who can take me with you even if someone knocks on your leg."
The servant smiled and did not answer. After waiting for a while, there was no sound from inside the door, so they went to another house in case the lack of answer meant that no one lived there.
However, after repeating this many times, they confirmed that there was indeed no one inside the door.
The servant and Paradise looked at each other, preparing to open a door to confirm whether there was really no one inside.
After all, the results of guesses cannot be considered as evidence most of the time. Even if you can believe it, it is difficult for others to believe it. Although there is no one else here, it is better to have an extra layer of confirmation than to guess wrong.
A door was opened, and there was no one inside, it was pitch black. The servant felt his way out of the candle hidden in the cupboard and lit it. He looked around and suddenly, in the darkness, he saw countless eyes that were still open. Those eyes all came from the corpses hanging in the house, human corpses.
The servant was startled and his hand trembled, and the flame of the candle began to shake. He hurried to steady it, but accidentally, the hot wax of the candle fell from the top of the candle little by little, and was immediately landed in the palm of his hand. He was burned and cried out, trying to shake his hand off to get rid of the pain, but he was not paying attention and the candle was thrown out.
There was a bang, and the servant's hand hit something beside him. He uttered a cry again, frowned in pain and covered his hand. He squatted down, and the candle hit something and fell to the ground, rolling around for a while, and almost disappeared. Leyuan asked darkly, "How are you?"
The servant came back and said, "It's okay, I was just burned."
Leyuan said, "Then shall I go find another candle?"
The servant said, "Okay, let's search the same place as before. If it works, we can use the lit one. If not, we can find a new one and try to light it."
After hearing this, Le Yuan said, "I understand."
When they were talking, the room was empty and there was an inexplicable illusion of an echo. If you listened carefully, you couldn't make any sound. But when they were talking, I could feel the urge to turn around as if something was following me. The ground was pitch black and I couldn't see anyone's shadow.
It was clearly bright outside the window, not as dark as inside the house, but no light from outside could penetrate through the various gaps. The open door was not closed, but the light outside was like a ball that was sealed by some force and could not roll into the house no matter how hard it tried. Therefore, the house was always pitch black, and it seemed that it could only be pitch black.
Leyuan didn't like this atmosphere. He frowned, carefully touched the cabinet next to him, and was about to squat down to open the cabinet door. Suddenly, the cabinet shook in an unidentified direction, either front or back or left to right. Leyuan took half a step back, but then the cabinet remained motionless, as if the shaking was just Leyuan's illusion.
Leyuan thought about it and thought that maybe there was a mouse hiding in the cabinet. When it heard the footsteps and felt that someone was going to open the door, it ran away. It was not careful while running and its tail was caught by something. When it was pulled out, it caused the cabinet to shake abnormally so violently. After figuring out the reason, Leyuan reached out again to open the cabinet door.
This time, the cabinet did not move at all. However, before Leyuan could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a pair of eyes from the dark gap in the cabinet door. The eyes were bright, like a fleeting light. Leyuan blinked, and the thing disappeared. Leyuan grabbed the door handle and opened the door. However, it was pitch black inside, with things piled up, and no one was there.
Of course, after entering the paradise, I didn't see the pair of eyes I had just seen among the pile of things.
For some reason, he felt a little disappointed, as if he wanted to take another look.
He shook his head, thinking that this idea was wrong, so he calmed down, reached out his hand, and began to grope among the pile of miscellaneous items, trying to find the candle. He touched a soft cylindrical object with a slippery surface, like a layer of grease. Leyuan was a little confused. Although he felt that this thing did not look like a candle, he also felt that the touch was a bit similar to a candle.
He wanted to grab the thing out, but because it was buried among a lot of debris, he couldn't get it out for a while. Leyuan moved his fingers to grab the thing and tried to get his hand back, but who knew that the thing in his palm suddenly bent.
