Chapter 278 The Strange Heartbeat
"Grandpa, do you still have guests?" Zou Yuan asked curiously.

"Who else is there, isn't it Lao Xiao?" Grandpa Zou responded with a smile: "He just went to pick fruit in the backyard, and he should be back later."

While they were talking, footsteps came from the backyard. They went all the way to the front of the house and opened the door, but it was Xiao Bo, the housekeeper of the Zou family.

He held a large bowl of apples and pears in his hand, the red ones, the yellow ones, the juicy water was very attractive.

As soon as he saw the people in the room, Uncle Xiao smiled: "Miss Yao, Miss Yuan. Why are you here?"

Xiao Bo was only in his fifties, wearing a black jacket, not the man Tao Le had seen before.

And at this moment, there were no other sounds in the small courtyard, so the breathing sound Tao Le heard just now should be from Xiao Bo.

Could it be that she was too caring before?If that person just now was not Divine Doctor Wei, who would it be?

Tao Le fell into deep thought. Slowly, the surrounding sounds seemed to gradually fade away, leaving only the sound of her own heartbeat.

Plop, plop. The sound of the heart merged with the beating sounds of everyone in the room.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
There are eleven heartbeats in total.

Tao Le was terrified.Including her in the room, there are only six people in total. Whose are the extra five heartbeats?

Moreover, if she heard correctly, two of them have become very weak, and it seems that they will stop in a short time.

With a heartbeat, there must be a sound of breathing.

Tao Le sank his heart, listened carefully and distinguished, and indeed heard the very faint sound of breathing.

Like a hibernating bear, the breathing of these people became very slow.

Tao Le glanced calmly at the wing on the left, the door was ajar and not locked.

Now Zou Yuan and the others picked up pears and apples and ate them.

The two of them eat very little of this popular fruit on weekdays, but now they are thirsty and tired, but they also eat it sweetly.

Zou Yao also picked a particularly red apple and handed it to Tao Le:
"Try it, it's especially crunchy and sweet!"

Tao Le's heart skipped a beat, she didn't take it, but said weakly, "I'm not feeling well. I was motion sick just now, and now I'm very dizzy."

She has seen many patients, and she pretends to be sick.

"Then why don't you go into the house and rest for a while?" Zou Yao asked with concern.

"It's inconvenient here, isn't it?" Tao Le asked weakly, and leaned on Zou Yao's shoulder.

"Convenience, what's the inconvenience, right, Grandpa?" Zou Yao hurriedly said, "You, I didn't tell you about the motion sickness earlier, you've persisted for so long."

When she spoke, she didn't look at Grandpa Zou, and naturally she didn't see the hesitation in his eyes.

It was Zou Ai who asked, "Doctor Tao is a doctor himself, why can such a small ailment as motion sickness be cured?"

This time it was the turn of Xie Baoshu and Enemy Kai: "Doctors don't heal themselves! Xiaotao only managed to find your grandfather sooner, otherwise he wouldn't have to suffer this crime!"

His tone was not kind, and what he said made sense, so Zou Ai didn't say any more, but murmured to himself: "It would be great if Doctor Wei was still there, don't talk about Dr. Tao's little problem by then, I will Allergies can also be cured."

As she spoke, she sneezed three times in a row.

Tao Le said, "You don't need to treat your allergies."

When she entered the courtyard, she saw that beyond the fence, there were patches of ragweed all around.Although it is the end of the flowering season, there are still a lot of pollen flying.

The allergy caused by its pollen, although it looked serious at the time, did not cause substantial lesions in the body. As long as you stay away from the allergens, you will be cured soon.This is also the reason why Zou Ai is obviously stronger today than yesterday.

But she ran too fast just now, and obviously touched it again, so there was a repetition.

"It will be fine when you go back and rest for a few days."

"Okay, stop talking!" Zou Yao heard Tao Le's voice getting weaker and weaker, and couldn't help becoming anxious: "I'll help you into the room and lie down for a while!"

Seeing this, Grandpa Zou also said: "Okay, Yaoyao, quickly take your friend into the house to lie down for a while." Then he pointed to Zou Ai: "Go out with Grandpa."

In the east wing room, there is a huge mahogany carved babu bed, and the gauze curtains are exquisite, not like the things that should be in this mountain.

But compared to this, Tao Le is concerned that there is no one in the room.

Not only was there no one, there wasn't even a single fly.

This is really a ghost. Where did the heartbeat she heard just now come from?

Tao Le glanced again. Apart from the bed, there was also a long desk with pens, ink, papers and inkstones in the room, plus a big box.

Judging from the size of the box, even if it can hold one person, it is definitely impossible for five.

Zou Yao didn't notice anything strange about her.She helped Tao Le onto the bed, let her lie down, and called Xie Baoshu to pour water and bring it in.

Tao Le chased her away: "I'll just lie down for a while, you and Baoshu can also go to accompany grandpa, don't worry about me."

Zou Yao didn't want to agree at first, but she refused very resolutely, and found a reason that she couldn't sleep when someone was in front of her, and finally persuaded them to go out.

In fact, she was not too worried about Zou Ai, she always felt that there was something wrong with this 30-year-old man.

She can't tell Zou Yao and the others about these things, because people are close and distant, and trust is also layered.

Just casually rushing up to find out that your grandfather may be an old monster, there may be someone else in this yard, maybe it is your lost contact with the second uncle and third uncle family—who would believe it.

It is reasonable for her to guess so.Zou Yao's second uncle, third uncle, second aunt, third aunt, and an elder brother are exactly five people.What Grandpa Zou said just now, they happened to go down the mountain and didn't meet Yun Yun, which was really a bit of a coincidence.

Zou Yao and Xie Baoshu went out of the house and closed the door.Tao Le heard their footsteps coming out of the gate, so he concentrated and listened carefully.

This time, she easily noticed that the sound of heartbeat and breathing came from under the floor.Under this room, there is another space!
Tao Le jumped up from the bed and turned around in the room, looking for secret passages.

There was nothing under the bed, nothing.

A large piece of peony was carved on the head of the bed. She pressed and twisted one by one, but there was no response.

She picked up the things on the desk one by one to play with, even the desk was lifted up by her.That box was also full of calligraphy and painting scrolls. She searched inside and out, but found no mechanism.

Walls, lights, floors, doors.Nowhere in the house escaped Tao Le's murderous hands, but nothing happened.

Could it be that there is no secret passage in this room at all?

Tao Le was about to go out to have a look, when he suddenly stopped, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Because at this moment, she suddenly discovered that there were only four heartbeats under the room.

If only one was missing, she wouldn't be so frightened.

That heartbeat sound was right behind her right now, loud and powerful.

Tao Le turned his head stiffly, but saw nothing.But there was a low chuckle from behind his head.

Cold sweat flowed down her temples and into her neck.

 When the heat came on, Xiao Hai came back to life! ! !Xiaohai remembered the cutest monthly pass, and my dears!
