There are many bamboos and thousands of sounds.

The whirling branches and leaves reflected on the window lattice, and under the dim yellow lamp, "Yu" was sitting alone, holding a piece of peach blossom paper with a gloomy expression, staring down at it.

The names were written on the peach blossom paper in small regular script, followed by a few words of annotation.

This was the clue he got from the guards during the day.

Now in this vast Xiao Mansion, the only real bloodline of the Xiao family is the Xiao family's master Xiao Shou, the Xiao family's miss Xiao Xiang'e, the young master Xiao Zheng, and his body, Xiao Meng.

There were originally some maids and servants in the mansion, but every once in a while, servants would disappear mysteriously and their whereabouts were unknown.

According to the guard, in order to protect his three children, Mr. Xiao specially hired people with strong martial arts skills from afar to serve as guards.

However, according to the rules set by Mr. Xiao, they only wander around the house during the day to protect the Xiao family bloodline.

As soon as the sun goes down, you must leave and you are not allowed to spend the night at Xiao's house.

In addition, there is no hierarchy between Xiao Meng, Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Xiang'e. The guards still don't know who is the eldest young master and who is the second young master...

Although all the circumstances were suspicious, because the wages paid by the Xiao family were extremely high, even though the guards found it strange, they never inquired about it and acted in accordance with Master Xiao's instructions.

On this peach blossom paper, the names of all the living people in Xiao Mansion are written.

There are only ten of these names in total.

The first four are Xiao Shou, Xiao Zheng, Xiao Xiang'e, Xiao Meng... and the next ones are all the names of the guards.

Looking at the list, "Yu" shook his head slightly.

"The sacrifice he wants must at least be a fresh living person."

"The Xiao family has posted notices recruiting maids, and has also organized a dental shop to quickly purchase poor girls who can serve as maids."

"But the ants are still greedy for a living. It's hard to say when they will be able to recruit a new maid."

"Now the sacrifices can only be selected from these guards or the Xiao family."

Thinking of this, "Yu" carefully put away the peach blossom paper and pondered slightly.

There are now four people in the Xiao family's bloodline, and his body is one of them.

Apart from him, Mr. Xiao must have arranged the arrangement for the "curse", and the remaining Xiao Xiang'e and Xiao Zheng are most likely the pink bride and the successor of the "curse".

As for the greedy slaves he brought, they should be ineligible...

"Squeak."

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

As the sound of bamboo came in, there was a faint sound of footsteps.

Soon, a girl dressed as a maid and wearing a mask as smooth as a mirror, holding a food box on her arm, turned around the screen and walked into the room.

After seeing "Yu", she immediately knelt down and saluted, and said respectfully: "Master, the kitchen has prepared supper, and the maid has brought it to you."

As she spoke, she walked to the round table not far away, placed the food box on the table, and carefully opened the lid.

An alluring fragrance suddenly spread out.

I saw the maid taking out the dishes one by one, including stir-fried gardenias, roasted pork with wild bamboo shoots, honey sauce, deer head soup, shredded chicken and white fungus, fried quail, grilled fish lips...

There is also a pot of warm osmanthus wine.

"Yu" sat motionless, silently watching this scene with a dark and gloomy expression.

The Xiao family should have no maids now! Gu

However, it is true that he has not eaten for a whole day, and the human body is very fragile. Now he can clearly feel that his body is starting to become sluggish.

If he doesn't eat anymore, he may not be able to prepare sacrifices at all.

Thinking of this, "Yu" said in a low voice: "Try all the wine and food."

The maid who was playing with the dishes and chopsticks paused slightly with her soft and slender hands, obviously feeling very surprised.

But considering that this was the young master's order, she didn't ask the reason and immediately said: "Yes!"

So, the maid picked up the toothbrush and quickly ate all the dishes. Then, under "Yu"'s gaze, she poured out a small cup of wine, covered her face with her sleeves, and drank it all in one gulp.

.

Then he put down the wine cup, looked at "Yu", and said hesitantly: "Master, is this okay?"

"Yu" nodded slightly.

The maid immediately felt blessed and respectfully stepped aside, waiting for the young master to finish eating and clean up.

However, "Yu" was still sitting where he was, not moving at all.

He waited quietly. After waiting for half an hour, he saw that the maid was fine. He then got up and stepped forward, picked up the toothbrush that the maid had just used, and started eating with the bowl and cup she used.

stand up.

As the food and wine entered my stomach, a sense of warmth suddenly rose up.

"Yu" clearly felt that his energy and physical strength began to increase rapidly.

As he ate, an extremely unfamiliar memory gradually emerged in his mind...

He glanced at a gilt and colorful vase of crocodile flowers not far away, took the cloth belt handed to him by a handsome maid, blindfolded his eyes, and took one out of the leather bag at his waist.

He picked up the arrows from the arrow clusters, weighed them, and threw them forward.

"Buzz."

Where the arrow landed, it was like gold and iron clashing, and the maid's joyful voice came: "It's a hit! Master, it's a hit!"

"Yu" suddenly came back to his senses and found that the cups and plates in front of him were in a mess. All the food and wine had been used up by him without knowing it, leaving only the bare dishes.

His brows gradually furrowed, and for a moment, he thought he had really turned into Xiao Meng!

Just as he was thinking about it, "Yu" suddenly discovered that he had regained the strength he had during his Qi training period!

Can these meals restore his body's strength?

Before "Yu" could figure out the problem, the maid suddenly said: "Master, can I take care of this for you?"

"Yu" put down his chopsticks, nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Send another meal that is exactly the same."

The maid bent her knees and said: "Yes!"

※※※

At the same time, on the other side of Xiao Mansion.

"Squeak."

The door opened, and Pei Ling had just stepped out. The yellow leaves were flying rapidly in the courtyard, and a gust of wind blew in his face amidst the rustling sound. He suddenly felt cold all over his body.

A strong coldness swept through the whole body and invaded the bone marrow. The original condition seemed to be a little more serious.

At this time, the system prompt sounded: "Ding dong! An external attack has been detected, and this practice is over. Thank you to the host for using the intelligent cultivation system, one-click hosting, and worry-free ascension! I look forward to your sharing of practice evaluations. If you are satisfied, please give

Five-star review…”

Pei Ling regained control of his body and couldn't help but cough violently: "Cough cough cough cough..."

He coughed until his face turned red and his whole body trembled, as if he was about to cough out his heart, liver, and lungs.
Chapter completed!
