The casual life of the flat space

If what Mu Qingqiu said was true, his living standard should not be so simple. As a steward, he was the first name in the mansion. How could it have come to this?

Besides, the place where he lives is not right. Male stewards naturally deal with external affairs more often, so stewards of other families usually live in the back house. Bai Tieying knows this, so there is no reason why steward He, who was born and raised here, would not know it!

Manager He stood up and walked to the other side of the bed, his perspective also turned to the direction of the beam. After another subtle sound, Manager He stood up, as if he was holding something in his hand, but the two of them couldn't see it from their perspective.

Turn off the lights, open the door, close the door... Manager He walked to the south. Although the view was limited, Bai Tieying and the others felt something was strange. Although it was almost midnight, how could a person who could entertain guests with privately roasted tea lack the candlelight in the yard at night?

If no one lives in the front, it would be easier to manage without candles. But usually people in this kind of house would have some lights on at night to prevent getting up at night. Manager He couldn't be willing to do this just to save money for the new master, right?

Manager He rowed the boat to the main courtyard again. Bai Tieying thought that Manager He was going to the secret room, but he went to the main room of the main courtyard. Bai Tieying had a hunch that he was here just now!

Didn't the people from Beijing take away all the golden carp? If there were any valuables, they would definitely not keep them. Besides, haven't the refugees lived here? What could Manager He do here?

Oh my god, is he a psychopath? But County Magistrate Xiao has been exiled, and he is the most powerful here. If he wants to live in the main courtyard, can he just do it? Is it necessary to be so sneaky? Is he going to establish a personal image before the new master comes?

Bai Tieying was so distracted by his thoughts that he spat the chicken bones in his mouth onto the wall in the shape of an "iron palm lotus". Mu Qingqiu looked at him with amusement. Tieying had so many tricks up his sleeve. Was he trying to practice some kind of magic skill? He caught the bones in his mouth with a handkerchief and picked up the chicken rack that Bai Tieying didn't want to eat and started gnawing on it.

At this time, Manager He finally made a different move. After entering the main room, he turned left, that is, went to the west. So an empty lobby soon appeared behind him. Because Manager He's footsteps were faintly echoing, Bai Tieying felt that the atmosphere at this moment was very much like a horror movie.

Because "according to Aunt Wang", there are nine main rooms in the main courtyard, so when Bai Tieying followed Manager He inside, he subconsciously counted the number of rooms in order to guess what space was in the picture.

So when Manager He stopped at the third room, Bai Tieying felt a little strange. Sure enough, Manager He touched the wall to the right of the bed and opened a door!

Manager He closed the door as soon as he entered, so the darkness in the projection was really beyond the reach of high resolution. Fortunately, Manager He finally stopped searching, and blew a light-guiding slave, making the picture warmer and fuller than before. But Manager He's shadow kept swaying with the firelight, sometimes larger and sometimes smaller. Bai Tieying pursed her lips and spit out a chicken bone again. She could only blame herself for not explaining it clearly to Mu Qingqiu!

Manager He walked forward, passed a narrow passage, and entered a small room. There might be a suite in the south of the room, so this place is so small, after all, it is a "stolen" space. But after a long time of watching, Bai Tieying finally saw the wall of this room clearly under the pitiful firelight - no wonder Manager He's shadow looked so scary, it turned out that the wall was covered with some "ghostly" things painted with dark paint.

"Brother Mu, do you know what those things painted on the wall are?"

"I don't know. It looks like some kind of talisman. Don't you recognize it?"

"Haha, why would I ask you if I know you? Is this County Magistrate Xiao... a cultist?"

"Cult?"

"I don't know. It's just my guess. After all, even if a normal person builds a secret room, it should only be to hide some gold, silver and jewelry, right? Who would draw something like this on the wall? To prevent theft?"

"Pfft... Hahaha, Tieying is really humorous." Mu Qingqiu spat out a black beak bone from his mouth.

"Oh my god! I'm going to have a nightmare tonight!" Bai Tieying patted her chest and screamed.

Manager He didn't know what he was bending over for. As the perspective changed, Bai Tieying saw a huge eye on the ceiling.

"Oh, this is definitely a cult! No, we have to tell General Zhao right away. Xiao Dasha must not be let off easily."

"Xiao Dasha?"

"Oh, it's County Magistrate Xiao. I call Xiao Qian the second fool, so isn't he the big fool?"

"Haha, it's true," Mu Qingqiu gave Bai Tieying a thumbs up. Bai Tieying said that this meant approval, which is called "like."

"Eh? Did you hear that sound?" Bai Tieying said, putting one hand behind his ear.

"what sound?"

"Oh, Saury, I forgot you couldn't hear. I heard a clicking sound outside... I... Oh! The door of the secret room was closed!"

Bai Tieying immediately took Mu Qingqiu out of the space, and while groping towards the stairs based on her memory, she also blew up her own light-guiding slave.

"Brother Mu, you go out first. If I can't get out, go back to that little room and look for the switch!"

"it is good!"

Mu Qingqiu didn't waste any words. He exerted force with his feet and in just one or two breaths he rushed out of the rockery gate which was only one foot wide.

“Huh…Huh…Oh my god, I was careless!”

Bai Tieying sat on the stairs that he had just climbed less than a quarter of the way, panting and secretly cursing himself for being a fool.

But it can't be blamed entirely on her. The space was indeed opened by the two of them. Then, by coincidence, when they went outside for "field training", Manager He also happened to turn on the switch of the rockery in the small room, so Bai Tieying and the others thought it was them who turned it on, and they were still watching the "live broadcast" in the space without any care! They were almost wiped out!

This also explains why Manager He came to the rockery to check so quickly. He was right behind it, so it would be faster than coming from another yard! And it seems that his purpose was not to find the secret room in the rockery. The small house was his harvest tonight.

Eh? A fellow traveler? No, no, no, Manager He said, "It's hard to guard against a thief in your own home." Bai Tieying would never admit that she was tempted by money, even though she still didn't know what was in the secret room.

The things that Manager He went back to his bedroom to get just now should have contained Yin Guangnu's belongings. So why didn't he come to the secret room to confirm again, but instead closed the secret room?

I was wrong. He was not "stealing from the house". The noise just now alarmed him and he knew the existence of this secret room in the rockery. So what was he doing in the hut? Was County Magistrate Xiao really related to some "evil cult"?
