Take the ghost monster to catch the monster

Chapter 166;

Seeing Jiang Qizhi's defense this time, Ye Zhu let go of the scumbag remarks he made to him earlier.

"By the way, brother, have you and Brother Qizhi been here for a long time?" Yi You took a breath, lying on the sofa, leaning against Ye Zhu.

for a long time?

Ye Zhu glanced at Jiang Qizhi, pointing at himself and Xiaojin Leopard respectively:

"It didn't take long, from the time we crossed here through the backtracking circle and opened our eyes to now, it's only three or four hours."

"Really?" Yi You sounded a little surprised.

"Brother, if I say, I have been here for nearly a month."

"One month!" Ye Zhu and Jiang Qizhi couldn't believe it.

"Brother, this is my reality." Yi You narrated his experience during this period of time to the two in detail.

A month ago ———————————————————

【Slums】

Crossing from the backtracking circle, when I opened my eyes, I was beside the road in the slums.

The surroundings looked like ruins, the dilapidated floors blocked the light, and the damp and dark enveloped the suffocating air. The houses behind them were all ruined and dilapidated.

I glanced at most of the children around my age, occasionally a few adults who were about to die, all dressed in rags, yellow and thin.

Just as I was hesitating in a daze, I heard a child calling out: "Everyone come out, the Duke and Duchess of Tovalia are here."

As soon as the children heard it, they flocked to it and surrounded it.

The first one who got off the carriage was the middle-aged duke in a luxurious dress, standing under the carriage with the gentleman's hand to welcome his beautiful wife. Inlaid with bright gemstones.

Such a luxurious decoration tone is in stark contrast to the dark environment of black and white.

The rich have expensive and luxurious clothes, but the poor have difficulty covering their bodies.

Immediately following him out of the car was a middle-aged man with a gray beard, a raised face, and a slightly longer chin, who looked a bit like a goat.

Judging from the clothes, he seems to be a priest of the church. He is wearing a long black gown that reaches to the ankle, with a white lining, and a black top hat on his head.Around his neck hangs a necklace of crosses.Holding a luxuriously bound book in his hand.

Looking from a distance through the crowd, the priest seemed to have said something to the Duke and Duchess.

The duke and duchess hesitated for a while with serious expressions, and then showed kind and warm smiles to the children.

The Duke and Duchess announced to the children: "My poor children, fate has destroyed you, and you have suffered so much with such a young body. Bread, milk, and flowers should belong to you, but——"

The Duchess spoke with tears on her face: "But it doesn't matter now, my poor children, come to my house, I will give you a bedroom with a stove, a quilt to lie down on, and bread to fill your stomach and milk, I will give flowers to your beautiful childhood."

The children in the slums laughed instantly at the Duchess' words.

The duke and duchess ordered servants to distribute bread, milk, and new clothes to the poor children.

I stood aside, watching these homeless children nibbling bread, I sighed in my heart, I was lucky to meet such kind-hearted people as the Duke and Duchess of Tovalia.

The children surrounded the duke and the duchess with laughing faces. I was a little fascinated watching this warm scene. If I and the children in misery could meet like the duke of Tovalia and the duchess How wonderful it would be for someone like the Duchess...

"My poor child, are you afraid?"

I came back to my senses and looked up when I heard the voice, Duchess!

She was very close to me at this time, and her eyes were full of love and affection when she looked at me. I didn't dare to speak, but just looked at the Duchess quietly, she was very beautiful, and continued to comfort me:

"Don't be afraid, my poor child, what kind of bread would you like?"

I didn't dare to speak, the Duchess wiped the dust off my face, called the servants behind me, and handed fresh milk and bread into my hands.

With the help of the kind-hearted Duke and Duchess, a group of children in the slums and I were taken to Tovalia Manor and taken in as servants, but they seemed to regard me as a little girl and took me My name is 'Kola', I'm in a strange situation, I don't want to cause trouble, so I just let it go.

"Xiao You, according to what you say, the Duke and Duchess are really compassionate people." Ye Zhu commented in Yi You's narration.

Yi You put his hands on the side of the sofa, shook his calf, and hesitated for a while: "Brother, it is indeed compassionate to think so, but since I came to this manor this month, I feel that this manor is completely full. Something is wrong."

Ye Zhu asked: "Xiao You, what do you think is wrong?"

"This—" Yi You recalled the strangeness of these days.

"For example, the children who entered the manor with me, I found that the faces I had seen before seemed to disappear out of thin air, and I could never find them again."

"And at night, I always feel that there is a dark atmosphere in this manor. I use my senses to analyze, and I can always hear someone chanting a mysterious spell on the top of the attic in the distance."

"However, due to my identity and ability, I have no way to further analyze it."

Yi You jumped off the sofa, held up the hem of the skirt, and showed Ye Zhu the small body of the little maid at this time.

Ye Zhu also stood up from the sofa, and raised his two arms to hug the little maid back to the sofa. Although the age difference between the little maid and the little marquis is not the same, the little maid grew up in a slum and grew up in a slum. Malnourished, born very thin, the little marquis was like holding a doll, he picked him up easily.

"Xiao You, don't worry, don't be in a hurry to take risks, your own safety is the most important. At night, my brother and Xiao You will go to investigate together."

Ye Zhu pampered the other party's little head.

"Well, by the way, have you seen Jack during the month you've been here?"

"Mr. Janke... Yes, but I have only seen him a few times from a distance. I heard from the housekeeper and maids that Janke is the only child of the Duke and Duchess of Tovalia. The duke and duchess had other children, but they all died young, and the only one who survived was Jenke."

"However, although Janke is the sole heir of the Duke of Tovalia's family, it seems that her health is very bad. She has been suffering from illness all year round, and it is difficult for her to even get out of bed and take a walk in the flower garden in front of the manor. I When I saw it, my face looked very pale from a distance, as if—"

Yi You suddenly turned around and faced Ye Zhu: "Just like my brother, you are now—"
