In order to verify her guess, Ye Xi turned back to the blue brick, then she stretched out one foot, stepped on the blue brick, and stepped on the toe part of the pit. At this moment, she seemed to be struck by lightning. This familiar feeling, can it be? Is it here? She was not sure, and stepped on the blue brick from a few more angles, and the feeling was very familiar.

She remembered that every time she was taken to the noble mansion, Liusu would support her blindfolded face on her left side when she went there, and would stand on her left side when she left. So when she went to the room, she walked on the right side of the blue brick road, and many times she would step on the pit. When she came back, she walked on the left side of the road. She remembered that at some point, her cheek would be brushed by the low bamboo leaves on the left side.

She looked around and found that there was indeed a low bamboo leaf far away from her. She stopped just as she was about to walk over. She remembered that there seemed to be a turn not far away after stepping on the blue brick pit. After the turn, there would be a stone step, and not far after the stone step was the wing room. She looked along the blue brick road and found that there was indeed a turn. At this time, her face was already very bad, and a chill climbed up from her spine to the back of her head. She swallowed hard and moved her heavy legs to walk towards the turn.

When she turned the corner, she could hardly breathe, because she saw the stone steps and the wing room not far away. All the memories matched. It was not winter, but she felt cold all over. Ye Xi forced herself to calm down. She needed to confirm some things in person. These alone were not enough to explain the problem.

At this moment, she was like a secret peeping Tom, afraid that someone would suddenly appear beside her, so she tiptoed to the side room in her memory. She first observed the door and found that it was not transparent inside. Nowadays, doors and windows of poor families are mostly pasted with silk, because it is cheap and durable. Rich families mostly use oil paper to paste doors and windows, which can not only prevent rain and snow from getting wet and broken, but also increase light transmittance. When she got close to the doors and windows, Ye Xi found that they were indeed covered with oil paper, but she could not see what was inside, not even a vague shadow. It seemed that thick cloth was used to cover it. This was the second coincidence.

Now that we are here, how can we stop without a thorough look? This room is not locked. In ancient times, doors were either locked from the inside with bolts or from the outside with chains or locks. Now Ye Xi saw that there was no padlock on the door. She covered her pounding heart, as if she was worried that her heart would jump out of her chest because of fear.

She gently pushed the door, and it creaked. She immediately looked around. The sound was actually very small, but to her who was nervous at the moment, it was like the sound of a drum. She felt as if everyone in the yard had heard it. Seeing that it was very quiet, she thought that no one heard it, so she pushed the door open with all her strength, stepped in quickly, and turned around to close the door. It was obviously a simple action, but she broke out in a sweat. She raised her hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead and face with her wide sleeves, then looked around.

The room was dark, but there was still light. She looked up and saw that there were several places on the roof that were made of glazed tiles. Glazed tiles are highly translucent, so even if the doors and windows were closed, there was still light in the room without a candle. When she saw this, she felt that her guess was almost right. This familiar feeling could not deceive herself.
