Chapter 230
Looking at the dilapidated state of Li's Mansion, Gu Nian thought to himself, maybe this place used to be a resting place with pleasant scenery and shaded by trees, full of the fragrance of trees, grass and flowers, accompanied by the soft and pleasant sound of water.

But now, what was presented before her eyes was only a strange, withered and gloomy feeling.

"I don't know where that masked Mr. Li is now, and which direction should we go to find him?" Gu Nian said.

Lin Chen thought for a while and said: "His legs and feet are not very good. If the person who came here is really him, there should be traces around. Let's look for it."

The two of them set their sights on the ground.

Sure enough, after some searching, the two found traces of someone trampling on the moss and dirt ground.

What remains are left and right deep footprints.

On the right side, next to the deeper row of footprints, there are still circles of circles.

One can tell at a glance that the traces come from walking aids, crutches.

The row of traces quickly stepped from the moss-covered mud floor to the bluestone brick floor in the yard, leaving muddy marks on it.

Gu Nian and Lin Chen followed such traces all the way to the vertical flower gate in the courtyard, but they were surprised to find that the footprints disappeared strangely at the vertical flower gate!

Looking at the disappeared footprints, the two could not help but look at each other.

After a while, Lin Chen pondered and said: "Since we can't find Mr. Li for the time being, why don't we check the situation here first and look for clues about the game."

"Then... Which direction should we go first?" Gu Nian asked while looking in all directions.

"Since the footprints disappeared on the side of the vertical flower gate, we might as well go into the yard on the side of the vertical flower gate first to see the situation."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Gu Nian.

Gu Nian nodded, stretched out her own hand, put it on his hand, let him support her, stepped over the high threshold, and walked into the vertical flower gate.

Inside the vertical flower gate is a square courtyard.

Walking through the vertical flower gate, you can see the houses around the yard, the flowerpots, plants and trees around the yard, and the screen wall in the center of the yard.

The two looked at each other, walked into the courtyard hand in hand, and walked straight to the shadow wall.

The reason why they will check the screen wall first is because that screen wall looks very different from the ordinary screen wall.

On the screen wall, there are no auspicious words such as Fu Lu Shou written on it, nor are there any auspicious patterns drawn, but a picture of... a tiger descending the mountain!

Who would draw such a pattern on the screen wall in someone's home?

It was an eye-catching tiger descending the mountain, painted with some unknown paint.

The courtyard has been left unattended for decades, making everything in the courtyard look desolate and decadent, only the tiger painted on the screen wall is still bright in color, mighty and lifelike.

"Why did the Li family...paint a tiger descending the mountain on the screen wall?" Gu Nian looked at the picture of a tiger descending the mountain on the screen wall in amazement, and asked in puzzlement.

"I've heard such a saying..." Lin Chen said: "Draw a tiger on the door, and ghosts dare not enter."

"so……"
