The objects in the room were covered with a thick layer of dust, and every touch left clear fingerprints on them.

But Lianwu felt it was a good thing. The dust was thick enough, which meant that no one had touched anything here for a long time, and even other players had never come in to search.

No one has been here for a long time, so even if you leave fingerprints, you don't have to worry about being discovered. Now you can explore with confidence.

At this time, long hair has a disadvantage. The Lingyun bun on Lianwu's head can easily touch the spider webs around it.

It's not dangerous, but when you think about the spider webs wrapped around your head, with dead insects and spider feces on the webs, and the possibility of spiders crawling on them, even someone without mysophobia might collapse.

Lian Wu picked up a broken-end broom from the side, removed the spider webs around him one by one, and kicked the fat spider on the ground with an expressionless face.

He always felt that he could feel the spider exploding under his feet.

The carved bed looked very delicate and was obviously not for use by an ordinary youngster.

Lian Wu looked around but didn't find the same secret compartment as the one in the bridal chamber.

Come to think of it, why would they hide the clues in the same place?

However, when he walked around the back of the carved bed, Lian Wu found an equally exquisite small wooden box in the corner.

Fortunately, this wooden box did not disappoint him. Apart from the trouble in unlocking it and Lian Wu almost destroying the entire box in his frustration, there was no danger.

He took off the entire lock with his sword.

There were many small items placed in the box, and Lianwu prioritized looking for things with red plums.

A pair of red plum blossom earrings were carefully wrapped in cloth. The red gems were fixed with gold wire woven into a net. The back of the gems was wrapped in the net, and a small plum blossom was pinched on the front with gold wire.

It's obvious that this pair of earrings is very valuable, and they probably belonged to my grandmother.

But how could such a valuable thing appear in the utility room?

Lian Wu frowned, unable to think of the reason for a moment, so she simply took the earrings and the cloth away.

The letter was not found, but a faded red bellyband was found at the bottom.

Looking at the bellyband with the mandarin ducks playing in the water, Lian Wu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and a feeling of embarrassment came over him.

He never thought that one day he would face someone else's bellyband like this...

It was a bit too impolite to stuff the bellyband directly into the cloth bag, so Lian Wu rummaged around and found a smaller wooden box that could fit the bellyband in.

If the grandmother knew that her old bellyband had been seen by others, she would probably mobilize the entire Tao family to kill him.

As soon as I packed up the box and went out, Feng Ling was already standing at the door holding the letter, waiting for praise.

Xie Ning didn't expect that this old friend could be so childish after getting a partner. He should have just stuffed the red candle into his hand and acted like a peacock in front of his partner all day long.

But when he turned around, he found that Hua Meng was the same, and Xie Ning didn't know what to say for a moment.

Does falling in love also affect IQ?

The most important clue for tonight had been found, and they didn't want to be outside in the cold wind, so they turned around and gathered in Xie Ning's room again.

It’s not that we are not allowed to enter other people’s rooms, but the rooms on the second floor are obviously bigger than those on the third floor, so five people standing in the room will not seem too crowded.

"When something happened to the Li family, my brother kept asking about their well-being, leaving all the affairs of the tulou to others. But I didn't get a single cent. I originally thought I would be the person he trusted the most, and would let me take charge of the tulou on his behalf. But when Li was able to freely browse the account books and thus control the Tao family, I finally understood.

My brother is no longer the same brother he once was. The most important woman in his heart is now Li. Why doesn't he manage the household? Because if something happens to the Li family, who will manage the household? Naturally, it's the wife of the head of the household.

My brother once said I was his favorite little sister and that he would spoil me forever. Now it seems that was all a lie.

Li had already falsely accused me once, and now the housekeeper will naturally not let me go. She gave me pickled vegetables and porridge, the food only for servants, and insulted me.

Feng Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes when she read this. Judging from the past two days, the grandmother was not targeting her at all, but all the younger generations.

However, it is normal for Tao Yuwan to feel dissatisfied. She was originally the most favored lady, but now the food is so different. It is normal that she cannot accept it for a while.

"She confined me to the tulou, but I wouldn't give in. When the fog thickened during the day, I could sneak out. But the outside world only disgusted me. To satisfy Li's preferences, my brother even planted so many red plums outside the tulou.

Every time I see red plum blossoms, I think of her, and I stopped going out during the day. At night, when the wind and snow stop and the clouds and mist dissipate, I can enjoy my freedom outside the earthen building. The pitch-black world hides the annoying red plum blossoms from my sight.

"You didn't even mention ghost marriage."

Hua Meng was a little bit incredulous, but then she thought, the wedding hadn't started yet, and they had few clues to begin with, so it was normal that there was no mention of ghost marriage.

"Look at this, it was left by a guest."

Zhou Yixi took out a handwritten letter from her great-grandmother.

"Respectfully, Master Duanmu, I write this letter with earnest words. Your family has been troubled by an unusual disturbance, plagued by an evil spirit. Several lives have been lost in your family, and until the evil spirit is eradicated, you fear your family will never find peace again.

Five days ago, on a cold night, my brother tragically fell into a icy pond and passed away. The next day, his frozen remains were found in a red plum forest. The coffin was sealed that same day, with the intention of keeping it for seven days before burial. However, strange events have occurred over the past few days. First, a servant woke up in the middle of the night, and upon waking the next morning, he was insane, behaving frantically and mumbling incoherently. Later, anyone outside during the night fog had their bodies hollowed out and their eyes gouged out. Their deaths were truly gruesome.

With all these incidents unfolding one after another, my family is in a state of constant anxiety, fearing that we may be in danger. I urgently hope that you will use your magical powers to dispel these evil spirits and restore peace and tranquility to our home. If you can help me, I will be deeply grateful.

The signature below is Li’s eldest daughter, but no specific name is given.”

Feng Ling said: "Tsk, this grandmother is obviously more educated than Tao Yuwan. She has obviously been educated."

Xie Ning spread his hands and said, "Okay, now there is another protagonist in the story, Master Duanmu, whom I have never met."

"The good news is that the exploration level is about to reach halfway. I estimate that after the wedding tomorrow morning, the exploration level will increase to over 55%."

Hua Meng is very satisfied with the current progress. The higher the degree of exploration in the early stage, the more beneficial it will be in the later stage, and it will be easier to find ways to deal with the dungeon boss.

Xie Ning said, "It seems that this Master Duanmu is a celestial master? But seeing as there are still monsters appearing, he seems more like a charlatan."

"Another point, why did Grandma write this letter?"

This was the point that puzzled Lian Wu the most. Judging from the grandmother's age at the time, her parents should still be alive. Logically speaking, when such a big thing happened in the family, it should be them who wrote the letter for help, not a married daughter.

Could it be that none of them could read? It was obviously unlikely that the Li family could become wealthy.
