Soon, Ji Mingzhao and his party arrived at the gate of the side courtyard again. Xu Guangbai was still the first to push open the nightmarish door.

Arriving at the door of the attic of the side courtyard again, Ji Mingzhao was still in a very uneasy mood: "Go and have a look."

Xu Guangbai received the order, carefully bypassed the relief on the steps, and led Agu to the gate in three steps and two steps at a time.

After standing still in front of the door, one foot in front and one foot behind, making enough gestures to retreat at any time, he put his eyes towards the small gap between the two doors.

To Xu Guangbai's surprise, he could still peek through the small cracks, but now the attic was completely dark and he couldn't see clearly at all.

"F*ck..." Xu Guangbai was immediately furious. The same was true for the firewood shed, and the same was true for this side courtyard. Do you know if these two people are causing more trouble to others, couldn't they be lit in this room? A light? !

"...Can't see it," Xu Guangbai still reported the situation to his external 'brain' truthfully, but his report was 100% mixed with personal emotions, "Let's smash it open."

……

But smashing it open was a bit rough: "Let Agu knock it away."

Agu, who was standing by, heard this and slapped the door with his palm.

The moment the door opened, a strong wind blew violently from inside the door to the outside. Xu Guangbai quickly pulled Agu and hid towards the side of the attic. Xue Wen also took Ji Mingzhao and took two steps back to hide in the side. Behind the walls outside the courtyard, people clung to the bunkers and barely escaped the hurricane.

After the gust of wind blew by, Xu Guangbai took Agu out of the side wall.

After the door opened, I finally saw the scene in the attic clearly.

The good news is that there is no actor inside. The bad news is that not only are there no actors, there are also no tables, chairs or benches that should be there. The attic is as empty as if it had been raided.

But when you think about it, it doesn’t seem unreasonable. After the actors have finished the play, of course they have to take away the ones who eat with them. However, this troupe may be more particular. Even the tables and chairs cannot fit in the host’s house. Everyone has to bring their own. Now After the troupe has finished its play, it is natural that they all have to be taken away, leaving nothing behind.

After all, Agu was still young and could not understand their current situation at all. Seeing that the attic door was open, he raised his foot to enter. Xu Guangbai quickly grabbed Agu and said, "Wait a moment."

"Ah!" You said.

Xu Guangbai was almost angry at Agu. When Ji Mingzhao and Xue Wen walked out of their hiding place, he immediately pushed Agu to Xue Wen: "Watch her, don't let her run around."

Xue Wen took Agu into his arms and told her not to move.

"Go in and take a look?" Ji Mingzhao stood at the door, looking around, and said to Xu Guangbai.

Xu Guangbai stepped into the door tentatively without stepping firmly. After waiting for a long time and nothing seemed to come out, he finally felt relieved and stepped into the attic with both feet.

This loft is very quiet. It has three floors. It is similar to the design of an ordinary teahouse. This loft also has a patio in the middle. The second and third floors are surrounded by a circle. Looking up from the first floor, the second and third floors are It can also be seen at a glance.

These actors had collected their things very cleanly. Not only the first floor, but also the second and third floors seemed to be empty. Not a single clue was left, leaving only a few pillars and four load-bearing walls for Ji Mingzhao and his party.

"There really is no one."

Ji Mingzhao finally felt relieved and followed Xu Guangbai's footsteps into the attic.

"Xu Guangbai and I are on the first floor. Xue Wen, you take Agu around on the second and third floors."

"Okay." Xue Wen readily agreed and took Agu up the stairs to the second floor.

The two men quickly started searching the attic carefully, so meticulously that they had to pry open every seam on the floor to take a look, for fear of missing any clues.

The more Ji Mingzhao searched, the colder and colder he became, and the more he searched, the more sad he became. Half an hour had passed, and Xue Wen's voice suddenly came from the third floor: "You all come up here." "Any clues?" Ji Mingzhao led. Xu Guangbai asked as he ran upwards.

"I found a pile of waste paper in the trash can." Xue Wen slowly opened the balled up paper in front of Ji Mingzhao.

The above pictures only record the daily expenses of the troupe and some random drawings, until I turned to the last one, an IOU appeared.

I saw that the IOU said:

The theater troupe owes the maid three taels of spring peach and gold in March, and it must be paid back before January of the next year.

In March of the Qingfu year.

Now that IOU is circled in gold, I think the loan has been repaid.

"In addition," Xue Wen pointed to the direction where the two of them were facing away, "there are some promotions for the troupe's performances over there."

"Go and have a look."

Xue Wen then took Ji Mingzhao to the other side, where there were sheets of promotional paper for the opera troupe, layer after layer of paste: "They are going to the Yao family in the north of the city to sing opera next."

Xue Wen paused for a moment with a strange look on his face: "Look carefully, it is written here that only when the troupe starts to perform on stage will the Yao family be allowed to die."

"What a strange rule..." Ji Mingzhao murmured, "Isn't that the birthday banquet we are attending? Which day we start singing is the old lady's birthday?"

Xue Wen nodded: "It's not impossible."

Ji Mingzhao threw away the rest of the waste paper and only held the IOU: "What do you think?"

Xue Wen said: "I want to take this IOU to find the maid to pay back the money."

Paying back the money was just an excuse to see the maid, and now they could only use this excuse to see the elusive maid.

Ji Mingzhao nodded: "Heroes see the same thing."

"But the problem is how to see the maidservant." The maidservant goddess is haunted, and I don't know if the number of light balls at this time is appropriate and whether she can be found.

Xu Guangbai also came forward at this time: "Who do you want to pay back?"

"This troupe once owed the maid three taels of gold. Although it has been returned, we can still use this excuse to find her."

"Isn't everything returned?" Xu Guangbai was a little confused. Even as a ghost, he couldn't touch things that don't exist now. "It's not what we owe."

Ji Mingzhao touched Xu Guangbai's empty head lovingly, but he only dared to touch it gently and did not dare to use any force. He was afraid that if he used a little more force, the water inside would be poured out and sprinkled all over the floor: "You just need to follow, and the rest will be fine." You don’t need to worry about it.”

Xu Guangbai didn't hear the deep meaning of Ji Mingzhao's words at all, and just nodded slowly.

At that moment, Ji Mingzhao felt a rare feeling of guilt for deceiving a stupid child, and he couldn't help but worry about Xu Guangbai's future. With such an IQ, what would he do after she left...

As the only kind person here, Xue Wen changed the subject very considerately at this time: "When will we try?"

The longer the delay, the greater the changes, so Ji Mingzhao made a decisive decision: "" (End of this chapter)
