Chapter 98: Liu Mansion Steward
The evil spirits were gradually approaching, and the sudden appearance of twenty-one living people was their best midnight snack.
Ordinary tourists picked up whatever they could as weapons, while the families were all ready to use the props for worshipping the gods that they brought through the constant position.
It seemed as if everyone was in a desperate situation.
But that's it.
A lantern lit up in the darkness.
"My dear creditors, these are all guests of the Liu Mansion. Please give the Liu Mansion some face and make things convenient for us tonight."
With the sound and the light of the lantern, the things in the darkness gradually hid and the crisis was temporarily resolved.
Wu Xian saw the appearance of the person who came clearly.
This was a man wearing a melon-shaped hat and a short satin coat. He had two wisps of beard and looked a little wretched. When he came over, he didn't say a word. He first held a lantern and looked at everyone's face one by one.
"One bald man, two strong men, three beautiful ladies..."
Although everyone was puzzled, no one disturbed him. Even the most lively Aunt He in plaid clothes held back and just waited for him to finish what he was supposed to do.
Wu Xian looked at Liang Fang.
What this female tour guide did really helped a lot.
If she hadn't driven these ordinary tourists back, allowing these newcomers to appear in the car instantly, and were frightened out of their wits and confirmed the existence of the blessed land, these newcomers would inevitably regard the lantern man as their savior.
Now everyone thinks that there might be something wrong with the man holding the lantern, so a lot of trouble is saved.
The lantern bearer looked at them one by one, and it was Du E and Wu Xianshi's turn to make such comments.
"Seventeen lilacs, eighteen handsome men..."
The man holding the lantern seemed to be confirming the identity of the person coming based on their features, and he counted as he looked. When he had looked at all the people, there were only 21, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly.
"My last name is Hu. I am the chief steward of the Liu Mansion. You can call me Steward Hu. It is getting late now. Please follow me. I will take you to a place to rest."
Butler Hu turned around, holding the lantern, and without giving anyone time to think, he walked straight into the depths of the jungle.
Everyone could clearly see that behind Butler Hu, there was a fluffy red tail, swinging back and forth flexibly!
No wonder this guy looks so weird, no wonder the evil spirits in this forest give him face!
This Butler Hu is a fox demon!
What will happen if they follow the fox demon? Will they be possessed or eaten? Everyone looked at each other, and many people didn't know what to do.
"interesting."
Wei Dian chuckled and followed first.
This is the situation.
Butler Hu is indeed not a human being and is quite suspicious. He is very likely to lead everyone to death.
But staying where you are means certain death.
Without Butler Hu, the countless evil spirits outside would rush over all at once, so following Butler Hu was the only option to survive.
This multiple-choice question is very simple.
But not everyone can make judgment and take action at this moment.
Seeing that someone had taken the lead, Wu Xian became the second one to go out, followed closely by Du E and Guan Daorong. All four of them belonged to the first batch.
Soon after, Sister Qing, Liang Fang, and Xu Fenglan also figured it out. Su Mi, Qi Peiye, and the driver Lao Zhao all jogged a few steps and caught up with the pace in front. These six people belonged to the second batch.
Hu Yunkuan was the last one to take action among the family members.
But it's not that he didn't react.
He briefly explained the current situation to the remaining ordinary people, then ran quickly to catch up with the team.
Hu Yunkuan was the most trusted by the newcomers. With him leading the way, the newcomers, regardless of whether they understood or not, all followed him and gathered together with the main force. They belonged to the third batch...
Wu Xian had been paying attention to the order in which everyone followed up. He was watching the performance of the twenty-two people, including himself.
The first four people may not have the highest IQ, but they can make judgments and take actions quickly, which may be the most important quality for survival in the blessed land.
Wei Dian's reaction was even a little faster than Wu Xian's. I don't know if he really reacted that quickly or was simply too bold.
For some unknown reason, Du E has been following Wu Xian, on the bus, when he climbed out of the bus, and now she is still by Wu Xian's side.
As for Guan Daorong, he was able to remain calm when entering the blessed land for the first time. He must not be a simple character in reality.
The second batch of six people reacted a little slower, but it was not too bad.
In addition to Hu Yunkuan's third batch...
Wu Xian shook his head.
He decided to stay away from these people. He would not cheat others without reason, but he also did not want to be implicated by others, especially the last one. Now was not the time to discuss him.
As for Hu Yunkuan.
His style is completely different from Qi Zhiyong's. If it were Qi Zhiyong, he would have given up the ten people behind him at the first opportunity, but Hu Yunkuan would rather go slower and take these ten people away with him.
"Is this also the Creed's style? Well... please respect it."
……
The group walked along the path in the jungle.
Everyone could feel the aggressive, prying eyes; it was obvious that many things were watching them, so no one dared to fall behind.
Aunt He and a middle-aged man squeezed to the front and stopped behind Wu Xian and Du E. Obviously, this position made them feel more secure.
soon.
Everyone saw a mansion.
This house looks quite historical, with green bricks and tiles, flying eaves and steep cliffs, and covers a large area. It looks like a wealthy family in ancient times. Red lanterns are hung everywhere in the courtyard, which looks a bit creepy.
On the main entrance hangs a plaque with the characters "Liu Mansion" inscribed on it.
There are couplets on both sides.
A long-lived house with many children and grandchildren;
A kind person who loves to do good and give charity.
Butler Hu did not let everyone enter through the main door, but opened a small door from the side.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Wu Xian smelled a fragrance. This family must have the habit of burning incense, but in addition to the fragrance, there was also a strange burnt smell.
Soon, Butler Hu led everyone to where they would be staying tonight.
It was a large room, but also very empty. There were twenty-four beds arranged in three rows with no shelter between the beds. There was a screen in the corner with several chamber pots inside, and some small tables with oil lamps. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the room, which was extremely simple.
Butler Hu bowed to everyone and said, "You have come from far away to celebrate the birthday of my grandmother from the Liu family. It is a bit rude to let you stay in a place like this, but there are too many guests visiting this time, and the guest rooms are all used up. I can only inconvenience you for a while."
Hu Yunkuan waved his hands quickly.
"I don't feel wronged, not at all, this is good."
Wu Xian nodded.
When everyone lives together, security is greatly improved, and there can be someone to keep watch at night.
If each person had a room, everyone would be uncomfortable because there would definitely be deaths every night.
"It's getting late now, please go to bed early. My master will come to visit you personally tomorrow."
