Why is the NPC Frightened By Me Again [Infinite Stream]

The last letter is cut off here. Chu Tianshu folded the letter again and put it back into the box.

He put the box back under the mattress: "Go."

Together they left this main hall buried by time.

"The letters to and from each other stayed ten years ago, when the male master was in retreat, and the female mistress passed away ten years ago. After that, the male master made great achievements and became the number one sword in the world." Chu Tianshu sat on the steps Up, looking at the withered plum blossoms in the yard, "Severe love swordsmanship, cut off love and lust... Did you think of anything?"

"Killing his wife to testify?" Lin Huai tapped the ground with his finger, "This man is really mad... But considering his martial-art personality, it is reasonable for him to do such a thing."

"Therefore, the 'Plum' painting we are looking for should be one of the 'Plum' paintings that the hostess gave to the male host. Considering the nature of the mission, this 'Plum' painting should be quite memorable, therefore, it Most likely it is the last painting of 'Plum' mentioned in the letter."

Lin Huai was listening to Chu Tianshu's analysis, but the latter suddenly covered his stomach: "Fuck, I'm so hungry all of a sudden..."

He fumbled out a compressed biscuit from the package and swallowed it dryly: "When I asked the doctor this afternoon, I was entangled with the male host. You take the opportunity to go back and look at his paintings..."

"The word 'entangling' is used very well..." Lin Huaixu raised his eyebrows.

After Chu Tianshu finished eating this compressed biscuit, he took out a second one. Lin Huai asked in confusion, "Aren't you full yet?"

"I don't know why, it's easy to get hungry after arriving here..." Chu Tianshu chewed the second compressed biscuit, "Maybe it's because the weather here is too cold and the physical exertion is too high."

Lin Huai thought for a while and agreed with this answer. He doesn't need to consume physical strength to maintain his body temperature, so Chu Tianshu eats twice as much as him, which is reasonable.

"Let's go." Chu Tianshu chewed on the compressed biscuits, "Go and see if there is anything else in Meizhuang that we haven't found."

With that, he stood up from the ground, and Lin Huai also patted the snow on his knees and stood up with him.

Then, his pupils contracted sharply!

What appeared in front of him, illuminated by the sun, and at Chu Tianshu's feet, was not the shadow of a human being...

But a plum tree!

The shadow of a dead plum tree replaced the figure and appeared at Chu Tianshu's feet!

"Chu Tianshu!" Lin Huai called out his name eagerly, "You..."

"Ok?"

Chu Tianshu swallowed the last biscuit and turned around: "What's wrong?"

It seems that the moment he turned around, the plum tree that had grown under his feet and replaced the silhouette disappeared!

What reappeared on the snow was an ordinary figure again. Lin Huai stared at the piece of snow for a long time before slowly saying, "...Nothing."

"Nothing?" Chu Tianshu became serious, "It's really nothing?"

"It's nothing." Lin Huai continued, "Maybe I'm blinded."

The plum tree was fleeting, like a hallucination that quickly appeared and disappeared. Although Lin Huai did not explain this in detail, he had been staring at Chu Tianshu's shadow all morning, as if he planned to catch him at any time and anywhere.

... Dare to have a ghost move Chu Tianshu in front of him, unless she is tired of living. He thought blankly.

This morning, they walked around Meizhuang and reconfirmed the fact that the painting of "Mei" could only be in the study or in the main hall of Meiying Pavilion. At noon, they were invited back to Meiying Pavilion for dinner.

Lunch is still cold dumplings. This time Chu Tianshu tentatively picked one up and took a bite.

"What are you doing!"

Lin Huai's reaction was great, and he quickly knocked off Chu Tianshu's hand with chopsticks. Half of the dumpling fell into the bowl, Chu Tianshu scratched his hair and smiled embarrassedly: "It feels like... it's not as fishy as before?"

"Is it?"

Lin Huai picked up the half of the dumpling and took a tentative bite.

He can't quite taste the difference between this dumpling and yesterday's dumpling, so he can only warn the authentic: "Then you are still not allowed to eat it."

"Okay, listen to you."

Chu Tianshu is not dissatisfied with this, and he will not eat if he does not eat. He took out the compressed biscuits again and gave one to himself and Lin Huai.

Lin Huai stared at him while biting the compressed biscuit. Chu Tianshu's reaction was normal, and he ate the second piece before he could finish one. After eating the biscuits, he said again: "Let's go to see the thin man?"

As soon as the two went out, they saw the thin man come out with an empty bowl. Seeing the two coming, he didn't have a good face, and only said to the maid who was waiting at the door: "Are there any dumplings?"

The maid said slowly: "One person, only one bowl."

"...One bowl of dumplings for a meal. How can people eat these dumplings?" Shouzi complained.

The maid didn't speak, she packed up the unfinished lunch from Lin Chu's room. The thin man looked at the plate and his face brightened: "Hey, if they haven't finished eating, can you give it to me?"

The maid stopped, and after a while, nodded slowly.

The thin man was overjoyed. He took the dumplings and squatted on the steps to eat them without entering the house. At noon, the sun was overhead, and the sun shone straight down, illuminating the crystal beads of sweat on his forehead. As he devoured it, he sighed inarticulately: "Fragrant, really fragrant!"

He ate sweetly, and Chu Tianshu also lowered his head and sniffed his nose.

"Lin Huai," he said, "did you smell a scent..."

Lin Huai's back suddenly felt cold.

It is a cold that comes from the depths of the soul. Chu Tianshu was still talking: "I didn't expect this dumpling to be quite fragrant..."

"Stop talking." Lin Huai suddenly grabbed his hand, "Let's go."

"What, what's wrong?"

Chu Tianshu was inexplicable, and Lin Huai kept dragging him to the side of the yard before he felt relieved. Then, he said directly: "When you were standing over the steps in the morning, I saw a plum tree appear in your shadow..."

"Plum tree?"

Lin Huai described the matter completely. He was precise to every detail to avoid omissions that would affect Chu Tianshu's reasoning. After Chu Tianshu thought for a moment, "I should have been almost beaten by a ghost..."

"There's something wrong with this place." Lin Huai said in a low voice, "We have to find the painting quickly and get out of here—"

"Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?" Chu Tianshu patted his head, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He put his hand on Lin Huai's head, Lin Huai was silent for a while, and said, "It's because of you that I..."

Chu Tianshu:  …

"If only I was here, I wouldn't be afraid." Lin Huai emphasized, "If only I were here, any female ghost would dare to come on me, and I would strangle her to death and grind her bones into ashes and throw them into the well."

Chu Tianshu:  …

"Did you hear what I said?" Lin Huai was a little dissatisfied, "I said let's hurry up and find the painting..."

"I heard." Chu Tianshu grabbed his shoulder, "I just... I really want to kiss you and hug you."

Lin Huai:  …

Chu Tianshu: "Do something too much to you again."

"Do business!" Lin Huai was annoyed, "Do you know that you..."

"I'm not that vulnerable." Chu Tianshu said with relief, "Let's go to the painting in the afternoon, it's fine, don't worry, be good."

Lin Huai:  …

For some reason, he felt that he was being coaxed by Chu Tianshu as a child, and was extremely upset because of it. On the other side, the thin man finally finished his three bowls of dumplings and burped coldly.

They came to the master's study again under the guidance of the maid. Walking on the road this time, Lin Huai's aura was full, and he used his eyes to scan the surroundings at any time, not letting go of a trace of plum shadow. The thin man walked in front of them and hugged his shoulders: "I don't know what's going on, I always feel cold behind..."

The cold thin man, the cold Lin Huai, and the silly Chu Tianshu arrived in the study. The male host in white also sat on the couch.

Compared with yesterday's skinny, today's male host's face is much plumper and younger. His features gradually became more ice-carved and jade-like, making people think that when he met his mistress under the peach tree, he must have been a beautiful man of peerless elegance.

"Please take the pulse of the master."

The male host stretched out a right hand full of bones, Chu Tianshu took it as usual, and pretended to have a pulse.

The thin man is far away from the male master. Since he was bitten yesterday, he has always adopted a respectful attitude towards this white-clothed rabies. When Chu Tianshu was on the pulse, Lin Huai also took advantage of the inattentiveness of the housekeeper and others, and slipped into the study where the master was painting.

When he entered the study, the first thing that caught his eye was the huge plum tree on the screen. The plum tree was showing its teeth and claws, terrifying like a ghostly face.

However, Lin Huai approached the screen.

'I don't care how you died. ' he looked at it and thought blankly, 'but if you dare to take him away, I'll keep you forever. ’

After turning around, he looked at the painting spread out on the table by the host.

To his surprise, there was only a piece of pure white rice paper on the table.

'He didn't paint today? ’

However, the brush hanging beside it was still wet. Lin Huai didn't move those brushes. He left the desk, looked around, and when no one arrived, he unfolded the scrolls one by one very quickly.

If it was another player, he would definitely not dare to do such a thing. But he was self-righteous and acted rather mortally and wildly.

However, to his surprise, all the scrolls...

It's all blank!

He opened the scrolls roll by roll, only to see blank rolls. He thought it was because he couldn't complete all the searches, and rummaged through the boxes, but he didn't find even a single scroll with something painted on it!

How strange!

Surprise flooded Lin Huai's heart. He was holding the blank painting scroll, but at this moment, the sound of the table being knocked over came from outside.

"what--"

A scream rang out. Lin Huai's heart tightened and he rushed out.

When he went out, all he saw was Chu Tianshu pressing the male master to the ground. The hostess twisted and struggled, while the thin man stood aside in horror.

Seeing Lin Huai coming, he quickly explained: "I didn't do it! I just... got closer!"

"Meixiang! Meixiang!" The male protagonist seemed insane, "There is Meixiang!"

The thin man sniffed at himself inexplicably. Chu Tianshu pressed the male host's neck and pressed him, "Where is Mei Xiang?"

"Meixiang...Meixiang..."

The owner of Mei Zhuang showed an expression that was almost crying and almost laughing.

"Mei Xiang is in my body..." He scratched his arm, "My body... is Mei Xiang."

"In my body...in my blood...everywhere..."

"Meixiang!"
