"Strange..." The girl Limeng was awakened from her dream by a strange sound. She was lying on the bed in the bedroom on the third floor, listening carefully: "I heard this sound again." In the silent night, from the depth of the dark night

There was a strange sound coming from everywhere. Where did this sound come from? Is it in the old house or in the woods in the huge courtyard? Young Limeng is beautiful and strong, just like a rose with thorns.

Hua was not afraid of anything. She opened the blanket and climbed down from the bed gently. She quickly put on slippers on her two snow-white feet. She walked to the window lightly and opened the window carefully.

The bright moonlight outside the window shines on the desolate and vast courtyard. The courtyard is covered with knee-high weeds, collapsed stone walls, broken stone pillars and some Buddha statues with missing heads and hands, scattered among the weeds.

.Because this used to be an ancient mansion, but now it is no longer as spectacular as it used to be. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, the entire building has been covered with a layer of gray and black, and in the lonely moonlight

, like a crouching monster, gloomy and terrifying, Limeng couldn't help but shudder. At this time, the strange sound came again

"It's it again, coming from inside the house." Yes, the sound came from below, that is, from the living room on the west side of the second floor. Blood surged all over Limeng's body, and her heart beat rapidly, thinking: "This must be someone."

Sneaking to the second floor!" Limeng immediately felt the danger. Although she was usually very brave, now she was trembling with fear. In order to deal with the danger in front of her, she hurriedly grabbed a coat and put it on her pajamas, and then took out

He picked up the match and held it tightly in his hand.

At this moment, she heard someone shouting: "Limeng...Limeng." There was a hoarse cry of fear from the next room. It turned out to be Susan, a girl of the same age as her, calling her.

Susan opened the door and ran out in a panic, saying, "Limeng, you scared me to death!" After saying that, she hugged Limeng tightly and kept shaking in her arms.

"You also...you also...heard it?"

"Well, I heard it a long time ago. Aren't the dogs in the yard barking too?" Susan gasped and said, "What time is it now?"

"It's about four o'clock!"

"It's only four o'clock! It would be great if it gets up earlier! Someone is in the living room on the second floor." The two of them stopped talking. They hugged each other tightly, but they still kept shaking. Where are the other people at home?

No one was woken up? The servants were all sleeping on the fourth floor, so such a small sound should not have been heard. But Susan's father Su Jinmao and his adjutant Lu Hongmin were sleeping on the second floor, but they

Why didn't you hear it? Could it be that both of them were killed? When they thought of this, the faces of the two girls changed. They were afraid that shouting for help or waking up the servants would lead the robber upstairs, so they

No one dared to make a sound, and the two had no choice but to hug each other tightly.

Suddenly, they saw a person outside the window. Yes, there was a man carrying a large package running past the abandoned pool. He must have stolen something, but from such a distance, it was difficult to see what he had stolen.

, I could only see that the thing was very big, maybe very heavy, so that the man walked very slowly. The man slowly walked through the big hall in the courtyard and disappeared into a brick wall opposite the woods. Beside the wall was

It was a small door. Limeng and Susan didn't hear the sound of the door opening. Maybe the door had been opened long ago.

"He must have gone out from the living room on the second floor." Susan said fearfully.

"No, the stairs to the living room are on the left. If he goes down there, he should appear a little further to the left." Limeng said, leaning out and looking under the window, she was immediately startled. On the second floor

There was a ladder set up under the balcony. There was a man on the ladder, holding a big bag. He slipped down the ladder and ran towards the pool. We can't go on like this. We have to wake up the servants.

!Li Meng touched the vase by the window with one hand, raised her hands and threw it hard. There was an explosion, which woke up the servants on the fourth floor. Of course, the second floor downstairs also heard it.

At this moment, there was a violent fight on the second floor, the sound of heavy furniture falling to the ground, the impact of huge objects and harsh shouts, and then the sound of broken glass. This sudden change frightened Limeng.

, Susan was so frightened that she collapsed on the bed and screamed "Ah!", which echoed throughout the house.

Limeng's face turned pale. She mustered up her courage and rushed to the door. Susan grabbed her skirt tightly and shouted: "I'm scared to death. Wait for me, Limeng!" Limeng suddenly broke away.

She opened the door and ran to the door of the living room on the second floor in one breath. A fierce white light illuminated her eyes, making her eyes black. She screamed, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her face. She saw a man standing there.

A flashlight was shined directly into her eyes from the living room, making Limeng unable to see clearly for a long time.

At this moment, Susan also ran downstairs crying. The man quickly turned the flashlight to Susan. At this time, Limeng saw that it was a middle-aged man, tall and thin, with a strong body.

With piercing eyes and a sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth, he looked at Limeng and Susan like a cheetah looking at its food.

The two girls seemed to be stupid, standing there blankly, not even daring to move, for fear that the man would do something bad to them. The strange man suddenly laughed, and then calmly bent down to wipe

He walked past her and walked onto the balcony. At this moment, he suddenly turned around, bowed to the two ladies, smiled brightly, and slipped down the stairs.

At this time, the two girls still did not dare to move. It was not until the man walked away that they breathed a sigh of relief. Their bodies were so weak that they almost fell to the floor. "Father, father?" Susan walked in staggeringly.

Su Jinmao's bedroom.

Hearing her cry "Yeah", she froze again. There were two people lying upright on the floor in the room, their faces turned horribly blue under the moonlight! "Ah! Father..." Su

Susan cried and threw herself on one person. The two people were Su Jinmao and his adjutant Lu Hongmin. Susan shook her father's body desperately.

After a while, Su Jinmao slowly woke up. He glanced at his daughter, put a hand on her shoulder, struggled to stand up, and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm fine, but..." He turned his head and looked around.

After looking at it, he continued: "Where is Lu Hongmin? How is he? Is he still alive? That dagger... where is the dagger?" Su Jinmao was gasping for air as he spoke, still looking overly frightened.

Look.

Lu Hongmin was already being helped up by Limeng, but his face looked ugly. He was breathing hard at first, but then he took a deep breath, lowered his head, and died on Limeng's side.
