Hogg Manor!

Many years ago, Xia Yanxin came once and felt that the local culture was very rich. Mandala manor is modern, fashionable and elegant. While Hogg manor is ancient, solemn and full of historical massiness... Standing at this ancient gate, Xia Yanxin has an illusion, as if she has crossed time and space and returned to France in the 15th century

I don't know why. Standing at the door of the manor, she felt a kind of cold. In fact, when the car was crossing the road just now, she could still feel the bright sunshine and the clear sky in Paris. But when she stood in front of this door, she felt as if she had entered another world. Her sight slowly rose to the sky along the top of the ancient castle. A large dark cloud blocked the sky over Hogg manor, and the sun could not shine down at all. A dark crow circled around the low plate, flapped its wings and flew to the top of the castle, looking around coldly. A dark feeling rises from the soles of the feet and jumps straight into the pores.

Xia Yanxin was wearing a thickened wool skirt and boots. When she first got off the bus, she felt a little muggy. Now a gust of wind blew, and she was shivering with cold. She couldn't help wrapping her scarf again

"Madam, let's go in!"

Just when Xia Yanxin was stunned, the doorman had opened the door, and Lanxi dragged the suitcase to remind her.

Xia Yanxin nodded and followed the doorman to the main hall of the manor.

The whole garden is very quiet. Unlike Mandala manor, bodyguards and servants can be seen everywhere. Bodyguards are basically invisible here. A gust of wind blew and the surrounding woods rustled.

"Madam, we have arranged a room for you. Please take a break. We'll come and invite you at dinner time!" The doorman stood politely on the steps. After opening the door, he made an invitation to Xia Yanxin.

Xia Yanxin smiled and thanked and walked in gracefully.

It's time for winter. The weather in Paris is colder than that in Manhattan. It's just cold outside, but it's colder inside than outside. There's no fireplace to burn, and there's no heating. There's a deep chill in the darkness of the whole hall.

After entering the hall, a maid came out. Like the doorman just now, the maid was also dressed in a dark maid's dress, with her hair curled behind her head and no smile on her face. She looked old-fashioned and indifferent.

"Madam, this way, please! Your room is on the second floor! May I help you with your gift? "

"No, we'll just take it ourselves!" Lancey refused the maid's kindness.

The guest room is very large, with thick cashmere carpet on the ground. The big bed is also a luxurious palace type big bed, which is very retro decoration style, but the room is filled with a sense of cold.

When Lancey put down her suitcase, the first thing she did was light the fireplace. The warm fire added some warmth to the room.

By this time, it was close to dusk.

After Lanxi opened all the windows, she was busy tidying up Xia Yanxin's salute

Xia Yanxin stood in front of the window and held the curtain to look out. From here, you can see a lake not far away. The lake water is not frozen, but a layer of light water mist, which makes the vicinity of the lake look foggy. Through the foggy water, you can vaguely see a cold cross in a corner of the forest.

"Madam, I don't know why. I always think the manor is haunted. Our Mandala manor is much bigger than this, but no matter where we go, it makes people feel warm and bright, and a kind of home comfort. But it's cold here and everywhere. It's almost into the bone marrow. " Ramsey muttered.

Xia Yanxin smiled, "we're here as guests. Let's make do with it!"

After watching the scenery for a while, Xia Yanxin was preparing to close the window. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her sight. In the middle of the cross, there was a woman standing faintly. She was wearing a Black Hoodie and her whole face was covered in her hood. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Xia Yanxin could feel that she was looking this way, and her eyes were full of hostility.

Just at this time, there was a knock outside the door.

"Knock, knock..."

Lancey immediately came forward and opened the door. Standing outside the door was the maid just now.

"What's up?" Lancey asked.

"My wife said, you can have a good rest tonight and meet again tomorrow morning!" The maid said expressionless.

"This..."

Lancey was a little depressed. When she came in just now, she said it was time to have a good rest and meet at dinner. Now we have to put it off until tomorrow. What the hell is going on? As a hostess, how can you break an appointment with a guest again and again.

Xia Yanxin didn't care, but asked nervously, "is your wife sick? If so, I can go and have a look. She and I are good friends. We don't have to see each other. "

"No! Anyway, you have a good rest tonight! I'll arrange someone to deliver your dinner later! "

"OK, please!" Lanxi quickly closed the door and looked up at Xia Yanxin. "Madam, why don't I go and find out and see what's going on?"

Xia Yanxin shook her head gently. "Maybe Xiao Mo has other things to do. You know, she is no longer the little security guard of Datura manor. She is the head of the family now. She must be busy with a lot of things, or she has some important guests to see tonight. I came to help her solve the problem, not to make trouble. Tomorrow is tomorrow! Anyway, I'm going to stay a few more days this time... By the way, Lancey, come and see what's over there? "

Xia Yanxin casually pointed out. Lansi came over and looked out, "what?"

"That woman..." Xia Yanxin stopped at once halfway through her words, because when she looked over, there was nothing there. Let alone women, she couldn't even see the cement cross.

There was a light rain outside. The rain splashed on the lake, and the surrounding fog became heavier. A cold wind blew and cold rain came to my face

"Madam, I don't see anything!" Lancey looked at it carefully again, but there was still nothing.

"It's all right! Maybe I was dazzled just now! " Xia Yanxin finally took a look in that direction. A black crow stood on the dead branch, looking very strange. She hurried to close the window.

The dinner was authentic French food, very rich and delicious, but Xia Yanxin had no appetite and left it all to Lanxi alone

She took a hot bath and went to bed early. A long flight is very tiring. In fact, there seems to be nothing wrong with Xiao Mo's arrangement. It's not inappropriate to meet again after a good rest.

Looking at Lanxi's back, she was still busy eating and listening to the rain outside. Xia Yanxin fell asleep quietly... I don't know how long she slept. She was confused. She saw the window open. The mysterious black hooded woman got up from the window, and then came to her step by step. She opened her eyes and sat up from the bed

I was shocked in a cold sweat. When I looked at it, there was no one in front of the bed. Then I looked at the window, which was still tightly closed. It seemed that I had a nightmare just now.

Wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, opened the quilt and was ready to get up.

In the dim light, a figure was lying on the ground beside the bed. She was startled!

"Ah!!!"

He sat down on the bed and quickly turned on the light at the head of the bed. It was clear that there was no one else lying on the ground. It was Lancey. She was lying on the carpet with her clothes. The fire in the fireplace is still bright and the room is warm, but if you lie on the ground for a long time, you will get sick!

Xia Yanxin hurried forward and woke up Lansi. "Lansi, why are you lying on the ground?"

After Lanxi woke up, she was stunned for a while, with sleepy eyes on her face, "ah, why did I sleep here?"

She quickly got up from the ground and touched her head for a while. Then she remembered, "yes, it's like this. I heard a strange sound before, so I looked around for the source of the sound. Finally, lying on the floor, I heard a strange sound from below. "

"What strange sound?"

"It's just... It seems that someone is talking and talking a strange language. I laughed while talking. I thought I was hearing hallucinations, so I lay on the ground and listened for a long time. Later, I didn't know how to fall asleep."

"Talk? Are there any more? " Xia Yanxin asked suspiciously.

Lancey got down again and was going to listen to see if there were any more. Suddenly there was a rapid sound of knocking on the window, and the two men looked at the window together.

It's weird. It's still raining outside in the middle of the night. Someone is knocking on the window. It's very rhythmic, just like knocking on the door. Lanxi's face became ugly. She looked at Xia Yanxin and whispered tremblingly, "who can this be?"

Xia Yanxin took a few steps back and held a knife on the table in her hand. Then she went to the window and suddenly opened the window.

Accompanied by a burst of wet water vapor, a dark shadow swished in, and then jumped directly on the cabinet along the sofa.

"Madam, it's a black cat!" Lancey was relieved.

Xia Yanxin also sighed, reached out and closed the window. When she looked up again, it was indeed a black cat squatting on the top of the cabinet, because all the black cat's hair was wet and stuck together, which made it look very old, and the cat's eyes were also shining with strange light.

Lancey took a chicken feather marble and jumped to drive it out. It suddenly stretched out its claws and meowed at Lancey. It seemed to warn everyone that it was such a master.
