"You..."

"She was taken away by them."

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaolong rushed towards me, then knelt on the ground, hugged my thighs with both hands, and then said with tears in his eyes, "Save her..."

"Who is it——"

I asked.

"She——"

Zhang Xiaolong seemed to be thinking about something at this time, but he only uttered one word.

Obviously, I have guessed it almost right. When they were preparing to get married, the bride didn't know what happened and was taken away by someone, and it seemed that he almost collapsed completely.

"Can you help me find her?"

At this time, he seemed to be very serious, as if begging me.

"She... was taken away by someone."

I asked seriously.

At this time, I saw Zhang Xiaolong's tears flow, but he just shook his head. Obviously, he didn't know, and he didn't even know who took away the bride who was supposed to belong to him.

So, obviously, he felt that he was the most failed person in the world.

Every day he started to drink to drown his sorrows.

"Let's go - I'll take you to find her." At this time, I found that Zhang Xiaolong seemed to be a little drowsy, so I dragged him and left here first.

After asking around, it seemed that everyone around knew him. It turned out that Zhang Xiaolong was actually a well-known biological researcher. He had been studying a topic for a year and had made some achievements, but he didn't know that it was this blow that put all his work on hold.

I sent him back home at dusk.

It turned out that his home was not too far from the school. The surroundings were very green and quiet, like a place isolated from the city. There was also a small courtyard and a three-story building.

But there were some unknown plants planted in the yard, and I didn't recognize any of them.

Maybe it was some new variety he cultivated.

"Sorry, I'm bothering you. He has been like this recently, so... we have been looking for him for most of the day before we found him. Thank you for bringing him back."

When I walked to the door, I saw a smiling man talking to me.

"When did he... start to become like this."

I asked.

The man was in his forties. He sighed and said, "It was probably not long after the invitations were sent out."

"The bride... was taken away?"

I said something.

"Who knows?" The man spread his hands and supported Zhang Xiaolong. Later, he told me that the bride was with Zhang Xiaolong all day and almost never left his sight, so outsiders would never know about their relationship.

It was just that when everyone knew about it, Zhang Xiaolong became what he is now.

"Ah!"

The man sighed, "Maybe this is fate."

So, he supported Zhang Xiaolong in. Seeing that it was dark, he asked me to stay in the yard first.

"Then...is it convenient?"

I said lightly.

"What's inconvenient? Alas, there is no one left. They all left. Only I am left." The man sighed. He was originally Zhang Xiaolong's housekeeper, responsible for taking care of his daily life and diet.

Who would have expected such a thing to happen? It was also unexpected.

The house is spacious, with modern furniture and machines, and a three-story courtyard, which is well-organized. It is obvious that Zhang Xiaolong has spent a lot of effort. The surrounding area is a good place with good wind and water. The housekeeper said that Zhang Xiaolong has also studied this aspect, so he is a little particular, but who knows that this kind of thing will happen.

Every time he mentions Zhang Xiaolong, he will feel very sorry.

I was arranged to the back of the garden on the first floor. The garden behind is planted with some unknown flowers and plants, all cultivated by Zhang Xiaolong. Zhang Xiaolong slept all day, and after waking up, he didn't say anything else, but just kept his stomach in the room.

At night.

Some insects and birds are chirping outside. It seems that it is almost difficult to hear such pleasant sounds in the city, but at this time I can hear them clearly.

Here, it is completely like a fairyland in the city. I don’t know why, I can’t sleep. A very strange feeling permeates my heart, as if I am a little blocked.

"Hey!"

I sighed.

Then I simply got up.

"Pop——"

I turned on the lights in the house, and the pale light was scattered outside, which was particularly creepy and deadly quiet.

"Why is it so quiet?"

There was no one around, and the surrounding courtyards were connected together, but I felt that there seemed to be no one living in all directions, and there was even no human breath.

I couldn't feel it at all.

Strange...

I pushed open the door, and for some reason, there was still a street lamp in the courtyard. Under the dim street lamp, it was particularly deserted. I walked over and found that the flowers and plants were actually blooming.

Epiphyllum?

I thought subconsciously.

But when I walked in, it was not the case. Those flowers were all pale, and... some looked like skulls.

"Ah——"

My heart was half cold.

When I looked over again, not only that, I also saw that there was a trace of blood in the flower. I didn't know where it came from, and the strong smell of blood was almost nauseating, as if I was in a slaughterhouse at the moment, and the smell didn't dissipate at all, but became stronger and stronger.

"What's going on?"

I was getting more and more confused, the blood seemed to come from underground.

"What kind of flower is this?"

I said to myself.

I was about to observe carefully, when suddenly I found that the ground under my feet was a little soft, as if the traces of the soil being turned over had not been completely covered up, and it was a little fluffy.

Could it be...

Thinking of this, I shuddered and became restless.

"Dongdong--"

I was about to dig it up to see what was under the soil, and at this moment, I suddenly heard a knocking sound, as if an axe was chopping something.

The sound was particularly sharp.

And the sound came from Zhang Xiaolong's only room. The housekeeper repeatedly told me not to knock on that door, that it was Zhang Xiaolong's room alone, and no one had ever entered it.

"Why can't you go in?"

I asked him.

He just told me lightly, "It's haunted..."
