They all want to rent me

"I'm sorry, I'm not free." Miss Baqian resolutely refused, and finally came out with Chang Le once, how could she leave so easily?Not to mention going to the dangerous place of Togami's house.

"Miss Baqian, the master said, it won't be too long. After that, he will send you and Mr. Chang Le back."

Naturally, the invitation from the great clan could not be easily rejected, and the special invitation was from the great clan in the southern area—the Dongshen family.

Yaqian Yinghua glanced at Chang Le, then at the bodyguard, her face was a little ugly.

"Does my father know?"

"It was precisely because of Mr. Yaqian Ruhuo's advance notice that we knew that you were also coming to participate in the East God Festival, so the master sent someone to invite you."

Damn old stuff.

Hearing what he said, Yaqian Yinghua couldn't help but gritted her teeth, and Chang Le's expression on the side was also a little weird.

Yaqian Liuhuo should have known in advance that Changle was going to participate in the Dongshen Festival with Yaqian Yinghua. If the family helps, at least in front of the big family, the two of them will not do other things.

Knowing that there was father's interference in this, and it would be a little shameless to refuse, Yaqian Yinghua was a little unwilling.

"how much time is required?"

"About an hour or so."

"Ah? Doesn't that mean you can't watch the fireworks?" She was very dissatisfied.

"Miss Baqian, the fireworks are put on until ten o'clock. After the guest visit, you still have one hour to enjoy the fireworks." The bodyguard said helplessly.

"Go, classmate Baqian, I'll go there with you." Chang Le said at this moment.

"Miss, Mr. Chang Le also said the same thing, you see..." the bodyguard said quickly.

"I know, I know..." Yaqian Yinghua waved her hands impatiently, and she looked at Chang Le, apologetic.

"Do you really want to go with me? Obviously you don't like to be close to big families."

Chang Le smiled.

"I can't help it. I'm your rented boyfriend now. Naturally, I will go wherever you go."

Hearing what Chang Le said, Yaqian Yinghua blushed a little, and she took a serious look at Chang Le.

Then she stepped forward suddenly, and under Chang Le's somewhat surprised eyes, hugged him hard, then she lowered her head and quickly left.

Seeing Chang Le in a daze, she said "don't care".

"Then let's go!"

Chapter 62 Exploration (the plot of the previous chapter has been modified)

Different from the noisy main road, the Dongshen’s home is very quiet. The Dongshen’s house is very large and the architectural style is relatively old. It is said that it used to be a general’s mansion in the southern district in ancient times. After being bought by the Dongshen’s family, it became a The residence of the Togami family.

The inside of the mansion is very complicated, surrounded by intricate ring corridors, surrounded by rockery and pools.

The mansion is deep, but it is not completely dark. On both sides of the walking corridor, there will be a lantern emitting yellow light hanging at intervals. The lantern emits a dense light, illuminating everything in the surrounding area.

Chang Le and Yaqian Yinghua walked side by side, followed the bodyguard of the East God's family, and walked towards the depths of the mansion.

The two seemed to be attracted by the scenery around Dongshen's house. They didn't talk while walking, but kept looking around. Chang Le frowned slightly. He was remembering the way.

"It may take some time for the master and the eldest lady to come over. Before that, I will take the two of you to the living room." At this moment, the bodyguard walking in front suddenly spoke, and after finishing speaking, he added another sentence.

"If you two need anything, please tell me, we will try our best to solve it for you."

Yaqian Yinghua looked at him.

"I need to speak to my father."

"Mr. Baqian Liuhuo has explained that if Miss Baqian has anything to say to him, you can call him directly." After speaking, the bodyguard looked at Chang Le.

"Does Mr. Chang Le have any requests?"

Chang Le thought about it.

"This place is very big. I would like to take a stroll around the neighborhood alone when Classmate Yaqian is on the phone with her father, and see the beautiful environment of Togami's house, if possible, and if it is not offensive."

It's really big here, so he has to try to remember the way back.

"This is no problem. Dongshen never refuses the request of guests." The bodyguard is quite free and easy, and from his words, Chang Le also sensed the confidence of Dongshen's family in its own strength.

Guests can rest assured to visit the main house of Toshin, and Toshin will not be wary of this.

This is a very dangerous family.

Chang Le remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he put an inaccessible label on this family.

The place where the three of them went was the living room of Togami's family, a building located in the central area of ​​the mansion.

The building area is large, surrounded by some rockery and vegetation, and there is a small pond with flowing water that makes pleasant sounds.

"Please come in!" Opening the door, the bodyguard bowed to the two of them.

Chang Le and Yaqian Yinghua walked into the room.

Unlike the somewhat dark environment outside, the light inside the house is much brighter. The floor inside the house is completely paved with brown wooden floors, a dark red square carpet is placed in the center, and some low tables are placed on both sides.

"Please sit down, both of you." Chang Le and Yaqian Yinghua were welcomed to a low table and sat down, and the bodyguard clapped his hands.

Accompanied by his applause, two maids in yellow bathrobes came out from one side carrying trays.

This is... a maid?

As if seeing Chang Le's doubts, the bodyguard smiled and said.

"They are orphans adopted by Dongshen's family since they were young. They have worked in Dongshen's family since they were young, serving the people of their own family. They are similar to the maids and waiters and housekeepers of major families."

so...

The maid came to Chang Le and placed the tea cups on the plate in front of Chang Le.

This is a cup of hot tea, exuding water vapor, accompanied by a strong tea fragrance.

"It's cold, please invite two guests to drink tea to warm up."

Yaqian Yinghua didn't intend to drink tea, she glanced at the bodyguard.

"When will Patriarch Dongshen come over?"

"Of course the master will come over after telling everyone about this year's harvest." The bodyguard smiled.

"Then Miss Togami will come with you?" Yaqian Yinghua continued to ask.

"Missy is a little tired because of the praying dance tonight. After returning to the home, she will go back to rest directly and will not meet the guests."

"Is that so..." Yaqian Yinghua seemed to be a little regretful. She originally had the idea that since she was here, she would have a real meeting with the young lady of the Togami family—Maki Togami, but now it seems that This is impossible.

"In that case, I'll call my father before Patriarch Dongshen comes over."

"You're welcome."

Chang Le looked at the bodyguard at this moment.

"Then can I go out for a walk?"

"This can be done at any time. After all, it will take some time for the Patriarch to come over. This is my contact information. If you get lost, you can send me a message. I will pick you up then."

"Don't worry, go as soon as you want to go. I will send you a message to inform you when Patriarch Dongshen comes over." Yaqian Yinghua also spoke, and she has been with Changle for a certain amount of time. She naturally knows that Changle is at this moment. thoughts.

"En." Chang Le nodded to her, got up, opened the door under the smiling eyes of the bodyguard, and walked out.

...

Dongshen's family is very big, so big that Chang Le wondered if he was visiting an ancient city. In a real sense, Dongshen's family was the first big family he came into contact with.

There are many corridors in the mansion. It seems that the Togami family prefers this classical style, so most of the corridors are wrapped with wooden materials. Of course, with so many wooden materials, fire prevention measures are naturally the top priority. Therefore, every From a distance, Chang Le can see a fire extinguisher placed in a conspicuous corner, or a water valve.

And because of the wooden floor, every time Chang Le took a step, there would be a muffled bang, which was a bit inexplicably abrupt on a quiet night.

He was a little embarrassed, and even wondered if he would disturb others' rest by walking like this.

But the inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart did not stop him. Time passed slowly, and he also walked through buildings that were extremely strange to him.

At this point, Chang Le knew why Dongshen's family was so relieved that he wandered around here.

Because they don't worry about what route Chang Le will remember at all, just like Chang Le now.

Although he is still confident in his memory, but the layout of Dongshen's house is too complicated, so he lost his way embarrassingly.

Recalling the smile on the bodyguard's face when he left the living room, Chang Le was a little ashamed.

Feeling his vigilance alone, the other party didn't take it to heart at all.

The big family is worthy of being a big family, and no place will be negligent.

Since the purpose of recording the road cannot be achieved, let's wander around according to the intention of visiting, at most, let the bodyguard come over at the end and take him back.

Thinking of this, his heart relaxed slightly.

After all, he is just an insignificant little character in Dongshen's eyes, and they don't need to have any bad intentions against him.

The more he thought about it, the more Chang Le felt unnecessary to be vigilant just now.

He looked around.

Unknowingly, the surrounding vegetation became denser and the number of buildings decreased a lot. If it weren't for the lanterns hanging at a fixed distance in sight, Chang Le even wondered if he had walked out of Dongshen's house.

Chapter 63 Meet

The reduction of surrounding buildings means that the dark atmosphere is getting stronger. Chang Le is not a timid person, but this does not affect his fear of the surrounding darkness.

He quickened his pace and followed closely the lanterns on both sides of the corridor.

In this dark night, only the warm light from the lanterns hanging on both sides of the corridor made him feel at ease.

People are usually afraid of the dark from the bottom of their hearts, and Changle is no exception.

Looking at the surrounding buildings that occasionally came into sight, Chang Le couldn't help thinking secretly.

Who would live in such an unpopular place?

He feels sincere admiration for people who can live in such an environment.

Just as I thought about it, a small courtyard appeared not far from my line of sight.

The wooden corridor leading to the front is also divided into two, one leads to the courtyard, and the other leads to the darkness. The one leading to the darkness no longer has any lanterns hanging, as if the courtyard is the end of the corridor.

He took a step forward.

jingle!

There seemed to be something under his feet, and there was a crisp sound. He froze for a moment, lowered his head, and with the light of the lantern, he saw a golden bell lying on the ground.

Picking up the bell and observing it carefully, Chang Le was a little confused.

Why does he feel like he has seen this bell somewhere before...

It feels so familiar, but I can't remember it.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember where he had seen the bell, so Chang Le had to put it away.

He glanced at the buildings in the yard again.

It is a small and not too big ancient building.

There seemed to be faint lights flickering by the windows.

Does anyone really live here?

He was a little surprised.

After a glance, two rows of lanterns were hung orderly on both sides. A gust of cold wind blew, and the lanterns swayed slightly, exuding an inexplicable and terrifying atmosphere.

Chang Le's heart twitched slightly.

Before I knew it, I had come so far...

He took out his phone and glanced at the time.

We walked around for about half an hour.

It's almost nine o'clock now.

Yaqian Yinghua didn't send him a message, which means that Patriarch Dongshen hasn't come back yet.

So... do you want to continue shopping...
