Chapter 74 The Missing Girl

In front of the flower garden.

The door of the wooden house is closed, the windows are covered, and there is silence.

Surrounded by flowers and green leaves.

Can't see anything out of the ordinary.

But at this moment, Luo Qingfeng's heart seemed to be awakened to the day when she went to Linshan Village to pick up her bride, and her face suddenly became ugly.

"Hey, what about you?"

"If you don't say anything, we will call the guards!"

Two maids walked out of the flower garden carrying flower baskets, holding small flower hoes in their hands, looking fierce.

Luo Qingfeng then withdrew his eyes from the wooden house in front, glanced at them and said, "I was just endorsing my book, so I came here in a daze. I'm sorry if I disturbed the two girls."

One of the maids snorted: "Didn't you lie and say that a girl just brought you here?"

Luo Qingfeng said: "I saw it wrong just now. It's not one person, but two people."

The other maid immediately raised the flower hoe in her hand slightly, as if she wanted to hit someone, and said with a straight face: "You're lying again! You just came here because of someone else!"

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands and said: "When I was reciting the book, I accidentally entered the bamboo forest, and then smelled a charming fragrance of flowers. Then I came here unconsciously, and then I saw two girls picking flowers in the flower garden. I thought The flowers in the flower garden were in brilliant purples and reds, vying for beauty. Unexpectedly, the two girls were squatting among the flowers, with black hair like clouds and dresses like flowers. Their appearance was even more delicate and charming. They were hundreds of times more beautiful than the flowers around them. . In my daze, I thought it was the two fairies who came down to earth to pick flowers again, so I couldn’t help but walked over. So, weren’t they brought down by the two girls? "

As soon as these words came out, the two little maids, who had just looked fierce, suddenly laughed, their cheeks turned pink, and they spat: "Smooth talk, so unserious!"

Luo Qingfeng said: "Everything I say is true. If there is any deception, you will be burned by fire!"

The two maids saw that he was good-looking, elegant and dressed like a scholar, and they were already curious and happy. They just wanted to scare him, but now they saw that he was gentle, respectful and polite, and he praised them so much. , I couldn't help but feel happy, and my attitude immediately became better.

"Are you really the new teacher recruited by the housekeeper?"

"We remember that the teachers we originally recruited were all old gentlemen?"

"You are so young, are you really capable?"

"How did you convince the butler to let you stay?"

"Master, what's your name?"

The two little maids were only in their teens, and it was the time of innocence. They had never left the mansion, or even been to the front yard. At this moment, they saw a handsome, well-spoken young man of the opposite sex. Naturally, my heart was beating wildly, my heart was happy, and I wanted to talk to him for a while.

But Luo Qingfeng didn't have much time or mood.

He answered some questions as patiently as possible, then suddenly looked at the cabin in front and asked: "By the way, girls, that cabin in front looks so elegant. Is anyone living in it?"

The taller maid on the left smiled and said: "No one lives there. It's just the place where we usually rest. There's nothing in the house."

Luo Qingfeng said: "Can I go over and have a look?"

The shorter maid on the right smiled and said: "Of course, we will take you there!"

Luo Qingfeng said quickly: "Thank you two flower fairies."

The two maids immediately covered their mouths and smiled, and one of them said: "Young lady Flower Fairy, my name is Xiaoduo, and her name is Xiaomei."

Luo Qingfeng took a look and remembered it.

The tall and flat-chested one is called Xiaoduo, and the petite and tall one is called Xiaomei.

"By the way, Miss Xiaoduo, Miss Xiaomei, apart from you coming here to pick flowers, will anyone else come here to pick flowers?"

Luo Qingfeng asked again pretending to be casual.

"Of course there are. Many maids and servants will come here. But there are also flower gardens in other parts of the house. There are not many people here on weekdays, but there will be many people during the holidays."

"So when you usually come to pick flowers, do you usually come in the morning or afternoon, or when the sun sets?"

"Mostly in the morning."

While the three of them were chatting, they had already arrived in front of the cabin.

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly took a step forward and said, "You two girls, go and do your work. I'll just go in and take a look."

The two little maids were reluctant to leave and still followed him, saying: "We have already picked the flowers."

Luo Qingfeng didn't speak anymore, his whole body tensed up, and he stepped forward and slowly opened the wooden door.

"Squeak..."

The door opened, and the room was narrow and empty, with nothing in it.

The sun shines in through the window, and all you can see is the dusty floor and a few petals blown in by the wind.

Luo Qingfeng entered the hut and still found nothing.

Xiaoduo and Xiaomei also followed in carrying flower baskets, looking at him happily.

"Sir, can we play in the house for a while?"

"Can you tell us what's going on outside?"

The three of them stood in the room, which was a bit crowded.

Two baskets of flowers came in, and the house was immediately filled with the fragrance of flowers. These two girls were cute, innocent, and did not know how to avoid taboos, so they actually wanted to listen to stories in this room.

Luo Qingfeng said quickly: "Go out, I still have something to do. I will talk to the two girls when I have time."

With that said, he squeezed away the two people and went out from the door.

Xiaomei immediately exclaimed, "Oh!", covered her plump chest and blushed, saying, "Sir, you've squeezed into someone else's house!"

Luo Qingfeng quickly apologized outside the house, but did not relax his vigilance.

Two little maids came out of the room, both blushing and glaring at him.

"lecher!"

"It was on purpose!"

"Hmph! Let's go and ignore him!"

The two maids pouted, carried the flower baskets, and left.

Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to apologize again and leave.

He looked back at the wooden house behind him and looked around again, secretly wondering in his heart: If someone really went in and disappeared suddenly, there must be something weird about this wooden house.The maid named Lian'er brought him here. What did she mean?Is it an illusion created by demons, or what?
He is now a cultivator in the five-star realm of the Open Sky. If it were an ordinary illusion, it shouldn't confuse him.

If it was really an illusion, then this demon would be even more terrifying.

Thinking like this, he quickly followed the two little maids out of the flower garden and walked into the bamboo forest.

"Sir, do you want to go through the back door?"

The two little maids were only angry for a moment, and now they couldn't bear to be separated from him.

Luo Qingfeng said: "Yes, can you two girls help lead the way?"

Aduojiao smiled and said: "It's okay, but what benefits can you give us sisters?"

Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "When I come back, I will bring candied haws to the two girls."

"Candied haws?"

When the two little maids heard this, their faces were full of confusion, as if they didn't know what candied haws was.

Luo Qingfeng asked strangely: "Have you never eaten it?"

Both of them shook their heads.

Ah Mei swallowed and said, "Is it delicious?"

Luo Qingfeng secretly thought: Poor.

It's probably because the government doesn't allow sneaking in such things, and the two maids have never been out, so until now, they haven't eaten or seen them.

Luo Qingfeng said: "It's very delicious. Don't tell others. When I come back, I will bring it to you to eat."

When the two of them heard this, their faces were filled with joy. "Sir, don't lie to anyone!"

"If you lie to us, huh, we'll tell the butler that you're scornful of us!"

Luo Qingfeng nodded solemnly.

The two of them were filled with joy and took him to the back door.

Luo Qingfeng followed behind, silently memorizing the road again, secretly wondering: I shouldn't have forgotten this road just now, why did I end up in the bamboo forest while walking?

If it were caused by monsters, it would be even more terrifying.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the lunch he had before?Otherwise, with his physique and spirit as a cultivator, it would be impossible for him to be affected so easily and forget the path.

"Sir, we're here! Just go through the front garden. We can't go there. There are guards there."

The two maids stopped in front of the garden gate.

Luo Qingfeng thanked him and prepared to leave.

Amei quickly reminded: "Master, don't forget the candied haws!"

Luo Qingfeng nodded, and just after taking a few steps, A'duo suddenly said: "By the way, sir, which courtyard do you live in? We will look for you then, otherwise you can't find us."

Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: Are you afraid that I will lie to others and even remember the address?

"Green Bamboo Garden."

He answered and left quickly.

I don’t know if Sister Nightingale and the others have entered the house at this time.

When he reached the back door, the guard stopped him and asked a few questions before letting him out. He must have received the order.

Luo Qingfeng went out of the alley, made a long circle, and came to the street leading to the front door.

Walking to the corner, you can vaguely see something under the front door steps.

After waiting for a long time, when no one showed up, he didn't waste any more time and left directly towards the Demon Suppressing Academy.

Judging from the current situation, he will definitely not be able to go back in a short time, so he needs to leave a note for Senior Bai to avoid making the other party anxious and in trouble.

think carefully.

The treatment in Ningguo Mansion seems to be much better than that in Demon Suppressing Academy.

An independent courtyard, with maids to serve, meat every day, only four days of teaching a month, 20 taels of silver, and occasionally large rewards, and there is no one to disturb you, so you can practice with peace of mind.

If it weren't for the advanced Demon Suppressing Academy, he would really be tempted.

However, he has not yet participated in the new disciple ceremony of the Demon Suppressing Academy, and has not yet signed the contract, so he can go back on his word at any time.

However, Ningguo Mansion is too weird now.

If it weren't for the fear of Sister Nightingale's safety, he would definitely not dare to go in.

Thinking about things all the way, he quickly returned to the North Courtyard.

When they arrived at the Library Pavilion, the door was still locked. Apparently, Senior Bai and Granny Ning had not returned yet.

He took pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the storage bag, left a note, and stuck it in the crack of the door before leaving.

After leaving the North Courtyard, he first went to several butcher shops, spent four taels of silver to buy a lot of cooked meat and put it in storage bags, then went to the grocery store to buy a large bag of lime powder, and then went to the bookstore to buy some. Several books were held in his arms, and then he walked towards Ningguo Mansion.

As soon as I walked to the street leading to the front door, I suddenly saw a group of escorts, maids and servants, surrounded by a sedan, walking towards the alley in front.

Then, he stopped at the door of Ningguo Mansion.

While Luo Qingfeng was watching carefully, he suddenly found that the tall figure standing on the right side of the sedan looked familiar.

The figure was wearing a white shirt and a red skirt. She was dressed the same as the other female figures holding weapons next to her, but her tall and graceful figure was particularly eye-catching.

"Sister Nightingale!"

It seems that she has infiltrated into the female escorts!
When Luo Qingfeng was about to get closer to check, the guards behind him suddenly turned around and looked this way warily.

Luo Qingfeng quickly hugged the book and turned to leave.

He did not dare to delay any longer and immediately walked towards the back alley of Ningguo Mansion.

Judging from the pomp and splendor of the sedan chair just now, it should be a noble person in the palace, and a very expensive person at that. It is probably a certain lady.

I don’t know if other people from the Demon Suppressing Academy have entered except Sister Nightingale.

Thinking about things while walking forward.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had forgotten to buy candied haws for the two little maids, and he wanted to inquire about something from them then.

Everyone in the house is suspect and has a use.

He immediately turned back to the street, searched for a while, and finally found a candied haws seller.

After thinking about it, he bought five skewers directly, wrapped them in oil paper, and threw them into the storage bag.

Then he returned to Ningguo Mansion.

When he entered through the back door, the guard asked him seriously again, opened every book in his arms and checked, and prepared to search his body again.

At this time, a clear voice sounded in the garden in front: "That's my young master! The butler asked his servant to wait for him here!"

After the guard saw her, he waved and said, "Let's go."

He added: "In the future, you can only enter and leave with an identity plate or someone from the mansion leading you. This is the rule of the mansion."

Luo Qingfeng agreed, took the book, and left.

Xiao Tao trotted over, helped him take the books in his arms, and gasped: "Master, I'm sorry, slave... I was cleaning the yard just now, I came late..."

Luo Qingfeng said: "It's okay, I just arrived."

When the two of them walked through the garden and reached a deserted place, Luo Qingfeng pretended to be casual and asked: "By the way, Xiao Tao, have you ever heard of a maid named Alian?"

Hearing this, Xiao Tao was surprised and said: "Sister Alian? She is serving the fourth lady, but I heard that she has left some time ago. Does the young master know her?"

Luo Qingfeng secretly thought: Sure enough, there is such a person.

He added: "Aren't you pretty, with a beauty mark on the corner of your mouth?"

Xiao Tao nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Alian is a very nice person. Do you really know her?"

Luo Qingfeng did not answer and asked again: "What do you mean she left? Was she sold?"

Xiaotao thought for a moment and said: "I don't know, the slave girl. The maid on the Fourth Madam's side said that Sister Alian left very suddenly. She was playing and joking with everyone the day before, but she left the next day. Everyone said, It’s probably because Sister Alian’s family suddenly became rich and they came to redeem her. However, she didn’t say anything to everyone, which was a bit strange.”

Luo Qingfeng's heart moved and she asked, "Has any maid seen her leaving the house?"

Xiaotao shook her head and said: "How could I know this? But those maids who are close friends with Sister Alian probably don't know about it, otherwise they wouldn't privately complain about Sister Alian's lack of loyalty and leave without saying a word. "

Luo Qingfeng said no more.

Obviously, the maid named Alian did not leave the mansion. Something must have happened, and the mansion deliberately concealed it.

It seemed that he had to go to the cabin to check again tonight.

The other party suddenly appeared and lured him over. He didn't seem to mean any harm, and nothing terrible happened.

Maybe it's not a demon, but something else.

One master and one servant soon returned to Qingzhu Garden.

Xiao Tao directly carried the books into the room and carefully placed them on the bookshelf next to them.

When Luo Qingfeng entered the room, he found that there was no quilt on the small bed outside. Instead, there were two pillows, one big and one small, on the big bed in the back room.

When Xiao Tao saw him looking at the big bed inside, her face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head without daring to speak.
