C460 There Are Dead People There
Lo Zhu felt dizzy and walked aimlessly to the back garden. During the two days she stayed here, she had already explored the big courtyard of Nangong family. She knew where this place led to.
She sat down in the dimly lit corridor. The servants had gone to the hall to serve the guests. There was no one there. There was a fake mountain not far in front of her. There was water flowing on the fake mountain. At this moment, she could only hear the sound of flowing water.
But there seemed to be another sound in the sound of water. If one did not listen carefully, or if one did not have sharp hearing, one would not be able to hear the difference.
She instantly narrowed her eyes and fixed her gaze on the fake mountain.
There was no one around. The night was quiet, and only the bright lights in the hall of the courtyard could be heard. The laughter of the crowd and the sound of cups being exchanged could be heard.
Lo Zhu was very sure that there was something strange in the fake mountain with flowing water. She slowed her footsteps and approached the fake mountain at an undetectable speed.
The closer she got to the rockery, the louder the sound of flowing water was. It even concealed the strange sound. But to Lo Zhu who had received training since she was young, she only heard the strange sound and the sound of flowing water was automatically blocked by her.
She was surprised because she could hear that the strange sounds in the fake mountain were human voices. They were intermittent and not talking. It was very strange.
She frowned. Could it be that someone had entered the fake mountain for fun and encountered danger? She was not a kind person. If a cold-blooded killer had good intentions, wouldn't that be a joke? So it was not strange that she did not save the people inside.
It was just that when she turned around, she suddenly thought of what would happen to the child inside the fake mountain? Tonight, many guests brought the child over.
When she thought of this, there was suddenly a cry from inside, "Ah!" Lo Zhu did not think about anything else. She prepared to enter the fake mountain to take a look. If the child was really in danger, she would send out a kind heart to save him once.
After that cry, those strange sounds clearly became weaker. She quietly walked into the fake mountain. Other than the sound of flowing water, there was no obvious panting sound. She was suspicious. Could it be that she was really in danger?
Lo Zhu quickened her steps and carefully identified the source of the sound before walking over. But when she approached the source of the sound, her footsteps suddenly stopped and she could not continue forward.
Separated by a protruding fake mountain cliff, she could clearly hear what was going on over there. From a small gap, she also saw the scene over there and the people over there could not see her.
She also knew that there was a man and a woman over there. Their clothes were untidy and the panting came from the woman's lips.
Lo Zhu's back was leaning against the rockery and she cursed secretly, Damn it!
She lifted her foot and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. It was really disgusting. The Wealthy Class mansion was really not a clean place. However, just as she took a step forward, the man on the rockery's side suddenly opened his mouth and said, "My good sister, how do you feel?" His question was vulgar and heavy.
Sister? Lo Zhu's entire body was covered with chicken skin. She did not want to hear it anymore and took another step forward. However, the woman's voice sounded again, "Third brother-in-law, you are too awesome. I wonder if Third Elder Sister also praised you like this?"
The man let out a wicked laugh, "Your Third Sister is not as sweet as your bewitching mouth. Come, call a few more times for me to hear..."
"Ah, you are too bad..."
Immediately following was a sound that made one's appetite go down. Lo Zhu was shocked and could not bear it anymore. She was even suddenly told the truth and felt that this place was really dirty.
Who would have thought that Nangong Mo's fourth sister and third brother-in-law were together? When she thought about how his father, who was already so old, married a woman who could be his daughter, she suddenly felt that Nangong Mo grew up in this kind of environment was really pitiful.
She walked out of the fake mountain with extreme disgust and thought that she was unlucky enough to swallow a fly tonight. She no longer had the mood to stay outside and just wanted to find a quiet place to get some fresh air.
Not long after she walked out, she was suddenly attracted by a sneaky figure that flashed by. She suddenly turned her eyes in the direction that the figure had disappeared in.
That figure hid in the fake mountain that she had just walked out of. This person was...
Lo Zhu frowned. When she thought about what was happening inside the fake mountain, she felt that it was dirty. So she did not want to care who walked into the fake mountain. If those two were to be discovered by someone else, it would not have anything to do with her.
She quickly left this place but she did not walk far before she heard a scream from the fake mountain. It was the scream of a woman. This scream was even louder than before and it had already attracted the attention of the people chatting in the garden not far away.
She turned around and looked in the direction of the fake mountain. This pair of men and women was really enough. They were so rude and actually dared to shout so loudly!
She did not stay for long. She left first when the guests walked over.
However, what people did not expect was that the woman's scream just now was not ordinary. Because of this scream, the guests who came over curiously walked into the fake mountain. They even loudly asked who was inside and no one responded.
After a moment, a sharp scream came from the fake mountain and broke the silence of the night. Then, the guest who walked into the fake mountain stumbled out as if he had seen a ghost. There were several times when he couldn't stand properly and fell to the ground.2
Someone came up to support him and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
He pointed in the direction of the fake mountain and his face was still full of fear. He said intermittently, "There... there..." From the looks of it, he was so frightened that he could not even speak smoothly.
"What happened there? Isn't it just a fake mountain?"
"There are dead people there, dead people!"
It was like a bomb suddenly exploded. This guest's words shocked everyone until their hearts couldn't help but tremble. The others all thought that he was joking. They followed someone into the fake mountain to find out what was going on. This time, the entire courtyard of Nangong family was no longer calm, because someone had indeed died in the fake mountain!
In just a moment, the outside of the fake mountain was filled with people. When everyone heard that someone had died in the fake mountain, their faces were filled with panic. Some of the bolder people had already walked in with the people of Nangong family.
Although the fake mountain was huge, there weren't many people that could be accommodated. Besides the people of Nangong family, there weren't many guests that came in. After all, everyone was more or less worried about this unlucky matter.
Nangong Xi walked into the fake mountain with the help of his young wife. Nangong Yuan was walking with him, followed by a few daughters and their husbands.
The one leading the way was Old Zhang. He held a flashlight in his hand and lit up the road under his feet. Not long after, they arrived at the place where the accident happened. The first person who found the body pointed to a nearby person who was scared and said, "It's right there. You can go in and take a look." He did not want to go in anymore. It was too scary.
Nangong Xi's face turned cold. A murder had taken place in Nangong family during his birthday banquet. How unlucky was that?
Old Zhang frowned. He had a lot on his mind. He didn't dare to guess who had caused the accident, but he never thought that the person who had caused the accident would be...
