Chapter 171 The Cursed Home

"Yes, he's told me several times that it's just him and his grandmother now."

"Okay, I see, I will go to his hometown to investigate the matter." Simon agreed.

"Can I go with you?"

"Of course." Simon smiled.

Simon didn't lie, he really took Cang Ling to his hometown in Lyon on the weekend.

"I sent a telegram to Petrov's quartermaster, and he said that Leon's house is at No. 129, Changping Street, Tachibana City, behind the clock tower." Simon said in the carriage.

Soon, Leon's house arrived.

This is a rather old villa. There is a piece of dead grass in the garden at the entrance, and the walls are covered with vines. It looks like a haunted house.

"We can't go wrong, right?" Cang Ling hurriedly turned his head to look at the house number, only to see "Scott House" written on it.

That's right, this is Lyon's home!
Simon reached out and knocked on the door politely, but no one answered for a long time.

"Shall we go straight in?"

"It's not very polite, just wait a little longer." Simon continued to knock a few times patiently.

After a long time, an old man walked out of the house.

She walked slowly to the door, looked at Simon and Cang Ling warily and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I'm Simon, the captain of the Blue Shield Knights Hua Fei team. Are you Scott's grandma?" Simon asked while saluting.

"Scott's team leader? Why did you come here?" The old lady hurriedly opened the door and welcomed them in.

"Sorry for the sudden interruption. I'm here to inform you about something," Simon said.

"Please sit down! I'm sorry that the house is not cleaned up, it's a bit messy." The old lady hurriedly put the cushions on the sofa aside to make room for them.

Cang Ling looked around the room, and found that the floor and walls were all covered with dust, the sofa and coffee table were also covered with a layer of dust, and the portrait hanging on the fireplace was too thick to be seen.

"Tea, please." The old woman poured the tea upside down.

Cang Ling looked down and saw that the teapot and teacup were still stained, and the tea inside was also old tea.

"Mrs. Scott, I'm here this time..."

"No, no, I'm not Mrs. Scott, I'm their servant. The old lady is upstairs." The old lady pointed to it.

"Oh, can I go up and see her?"

"Uh...Of course. But she is old and a little confused."

"It's okay, I'll go and have a look."

The servant hurriedly took Simon and Cang Ling upstairs to the master bedroom.

After opening the bedroom door, Cang Ling saw an old man with gray hair lying on the bed. The thick mattress gave off a musty smell, mixed with a smell of urine.

"Since the accident at home, her old man has lost her mind. She is a little crazy." The servant explained.

Simon stepped forward and glanced at Grandma Leon, only to see that she was skinny, her eyes were dull, and she didn't respond when she saw someone coming.

"What do you mean when you said something happened at home? Can you explain in detail?" Cang Ling asked.

"Hey, don't you all know?"

"I'm sorry, I just took office, and I don't know much about Scott's situation." Simon turned and replied.

"Oh, no wonder..." The servant sighed, took Simon and Cang Ling back to the living room, and then told them what happened at Leon's house.

"I have been working as a maid in this house since I was 20 years old, and I have been doing it for almost 40 years. When I first came here, it was very different from now, and it was very lively. Later, since Master Leon came, This home is not normal."

Speaking of this, the servant showed a look of disgust on his face: "Master Leon killed his sister Leiya just two years after he came here. In the second year after that, the master also had an accident. I remember it was a rainy day , the master was delivering the goods in a carriage, but encountered a flash flood halfway, and fell to the bottom of the cliff with the car and died on the spot."

"After the master died, the lady went crazy. She just lost her daughter, and now she has no husband, and she has a complete mental breakdown. Since then, she has been like a ghost, walking around the house with kitchen knives and scissors all day long. Seeing Master Leon, she jumped at him, bit him, beat him, and wanted to fight him to death. She also set fire to the master's bedroom, but luckily the master jumped from upstairs, so he was not burned to death."

"In order to avoid her, the young master ran to Canton, and this family has been completely neglected since then. The servants and business partners also ran away, and all the money was taken away. Only the wife, The old lady and I."

"After the young master graduated, he came back once. When the lady saw him, she picked up a knife and wanted to kill him. The young master hid aside, but the lady smashed the glass window and fell out, breaking her neck and dying."

"After that, only me and the old lady were left at home. I wanted to leave the house several times, because I didn't have much affection for the old lady... She was brought here by the master. She has a bad temper and a confused mind, but Leon The young master begged me to stay and take care of her, and even offered me a salary increase. I hesitated again and again, and finally stayed. After all, I have stayed in this family for more than 30 years, and I have feelings for her."

"That's why. I would like to ask, who is responsible for the daily expenses of the family at present?"

"It's Master Lyon. He sold some of his wife's jewelry and antiques to treat the old lady's illness. He usually sends money back every month."

"oh, I see."

"By the way, what are you here to report? Did Master Leon commit any crime?" the servant asked nervously.

"I don't know how to say it." Simon said awkwardly, "Seeing the state of this family, I'm afraid the news I bring will make you unbearable."

"What's going on..." The servant showed a disturbed expression.

"...Scott, sacrificed." Simon hesitated, but said it out.

"what?!"

"I'm sorry. Scott died in the battle a month ago. His ashes have been buried in the Huafei Knight Cemetery. If you want, I can take you to worship him."

"Master Leon is dead?" The servant stood up in surprise.

"Yes."

"How, how? How did he die?" The servant still couldn't believe it.

"I'm very sorry."

The servant stood there for a while, and then tears welled up in his eyes, but they didn't fall.

"How did he die... Could it be that this family is really cursed?" the servant murmured.

"Please don't tell the old lady this news, she is getting old, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it." Simon warned.

"Hahaha... She won't!" The servant laughed loudly, "She has always hated Master Leon so much, and even beat him with a poker... How could she be sad for Master Leon?"

The servant laughed and laughed, and suddenly burst into tears again.

"Master Leon is finally dead, hehe, ma'am...Master Leon is finally dead...Your wish has been fulfilled, all of you have been granted the wish..."

The servant fell to the ground in pain while crying.
