Lan Xu casually put down the ointment, turned around and wrapped his arms around Chu Chen’an’s waist.
Chu Chen’an quickly clutched Lan Xu’s restless hand, his earlobes were red as he moved to the other side, “I don’t want three people to sleep together, I want to sleep on my own.”
After he finished speaking, Lan Xu’s powerful arm like a giant chain wrench held Chu Chen’an, he was like a prey caught by a giant beast, he struggled a few times, but when he found that the other party didn’t move at all, he gave up.
He clenched his fists and punched Lan Xu’s shoulders, pouted, and turned his back to Lan Xu.
Sleeping was just sleeping.
Anyway, it wasn’t him who was squeezing in.
He tightly grasped Lan Xu’s unruly hand, his face flushed red, and of course, his red lips, shining with water, looked even more tempting.
Lan Huai laid on the other side of Chu Chen’an, with a slight reluctance and unwillingness in his eyes. If Chu Chen’an was unwilling, he might have had a reason to make Lan Xu give up Chu Chen’an, but now that Chu Chen’an had already started to accept Lan Xu, he could only acquiesce.
A long time ago, he’d already lost his chance for exclusivity.
Chu Chen’an closed his eyes, his beautiful eyes staring at something unknown, as if he was lost in thought or secretly struggling with Lan Xu’s restless hand.
“Mmm.” The sweet and delicate voice that was being held back couldn’t help but spill out.
He didn’t keep a tight rein, and actually allowed Lan Xu to take advantage of him.
Chu Chen’an’s face was red and hot, and he was held tightly by Lan Xu, making him look petite and thin.
Lan Huai helplessly lowered his head and kissed his slightly opened lips, also blocking Chu Chen’an’s cat-like voice.
Before he had time to react, he felt a subtle pain on his back shoulder. Lan Xu but him, and then he kissed his jaw.
There was literally nowhere for him to hide at this moment, his hands clambering helplessly onto Lan Huai’s shoulders, the hot air around him haunting him, their embrace was so tight that there wasn’t a single gap.
The atmosphere continued to heat up, becoming more and more uncontrollable, he was immersed in Lan Huai’s deep and gentle eyes, Lan Xu called his name in a low voice, his voice was mixed with paranoid love and possessiveness.
It was as if he was about to be engulfed by the overwhelming kisses and affection.
“Thump, thump, thump, thump!”
A sharp, violent knock on the door broke the atmosphere and rescued Chu Chen’an from his fiery vortex.
But Lan Huai didn’t care about anyone and continued to devote himself to kissing Chu Chen’an.
“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”
A few seconds later, there was another sharp knock on the door, and Chu Chen’an seemed to have felt the vibrations coming up from downstairs.
“Okay,” Chu Chen’an advised as he dodged a kiss on the side of his face, “someone’s knocking on the door.”
His dodging instead slightly angered Lan Huai, who pinched his chin and lightly bit the corner of his lips, then intensified his kiss. Lan Huai’s tongue invaded his mouth and entwined with his little tongue, passionately claiming him.
“Chen’an! Lan Xu! Are you guys in there!?”
“Quickly open the door! Something’s happened to Old Liang and the others!!!” He Xuesheng’s shouts came from downstairs, followed by several bursts of violent and urgent knocking on the door.
“Quickly open the door!”
He Xuesheng shouted, blo-od spilling from one side of the wound on his neck, his hand covering his neck was already drenched in bloo-d, his face full of anxiety and helplessness.
“Tsk.” Lan Xu, who was buried in Chu Chen’an’s back shoulder, frowned slightly in annoyance. Closing his eyes and wrapping his arms around Chu Chen’an without letting go, he complained to him, “He’s so noisy, An An.”
Chu Chen’an’s lips were swollen from kissing. Looking pitiful, he cautiously looked at Lan Huai and whispered, “It seems like something has happened …… Let’s go down and take a look, right?”
Lan Huai never refused Chu Chen’an’s request, but he was now slightly insatiable as he got up to give Chu Chen’an a good set of clothes.
The night wind in the fall was very cold, so Chu Chen’an wore a black brocade jacket, the material plush and soft.
Downstairs, the knocking on the door didn’t stop.
Lan Xu squatted down to put on Chu Chen’an’s shoes and muttered, “It’s a big night, yet he still wants you to collect the corpses.”
“What did you say?” Chu Chenan lowered his head; he didn’t hear the last two words that Lan Xu said.
Collect what?
“Nothing,” Lan Xu tilted his head and smiled harmlessly. “Let’s go.”
Chu Chen’an ran ahead and went downstairs, shouting to the floor, “Coming, coming, coming.”
Chu Chen’an opened the door and saw He Xuesheng with bloo-d dripping from his neck. His expression was greatly surprised. “What’s wrong, He Xuesheng? Did the wound open? Come in first!”
He Xuesheng covered his neck, “I’m fine, don’t worry about me first, let’s quickly go look for Old Liang and the others! They’ve all disappeared!”
Lan Xu folded his arms, his expression calm, “Don’t be anxious first, tell me what’s going on.”
He Xuesheng looked at Lan Huai who was holding Chu Chen’an in his arms, and then looked at Lan Xu who was holding his hand, and froze slightly, they looked exactly the same, making He Xuesheng momentarily unable to tell which one was Lan Xu. But he didn’t have time to take this into account.
“Just …… just now …… they had just finished applying the medicine not long ago, when Chen Han suddenly got upset, he said that the house smelled like bloo-d and he wanted to go outside the corridor to get some air.” He Xuesheng was sweating profusely.
Chen Han was Old Liang’s assistant.
He Xuesheng paused for a few seconds, his eyes filled with shock and uncertainty. He looked at Chu Chen’an and said, “Then he lost one leg. From his feet to his thighs, all I could see were some bone fragments.”
Chu Chen’an was terrified, “…… How did this happen?”
Lan Huai rubbed his shoulder, signaling for him not to be afraid.
“He said himself that a ghost gave him a bite,” He Xuesheng frowned, “but at the time, I didn’t even hear a bird call, and he also deemed a bit crazy. After I called the shopkeeper to drag him back upstairs with me, I realized that Old Liang and the others had all disappeared as well! I searched both the inner and outer courtyards and didn’t find half a soul.”
Chu Chen’an raised his eyes to look up at Lan Xu and frowned.
“What is An An looking at me for?” Lan Xu innocently said, “I’ve been with you.”
Chu Chen’an thought about it, Lan Xu didn’t seem to have left the house, so who could it be?
“Didn’t you guys plan to leave tonight, why haven’t you left?” Lan Xu asked.
He Xuesheng said, “I don’t know what went wrong, that good car also suddenly broke down today.”
The more Chu Chen’an thought about it, the more suspicious it became. He felt a chill in his heart as Lan Xu carefully rubbed his swollen wrist.
Where could a good few living people have gone?
Chu Chen’an asked, “Did you look at the inner courtyard as well?”
“I looked.” He Xuesheng nodded and got up, “I couldn’t find anything, so I had to come and bother you guys.”
“It’s fine, don’t be anxious for now, I’ll look with you to find them.” Chu Chen’an got up to comfort him.
He left the house, and naturally Lan Huai and Lan Xu followed closely behind him.
They arrived at the entrance of the B&B, the shopkeeper walked beside them, explaining attentively to Lan Huai and Lan Xu, leading them to the upper floors, before they got to the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard was eerie, and the walls around it were all very worn out, transmitting a chilly atmosphere.
Chu Chen’an stood in place, “Have you searched inside that house?”
He Xuesheng’s neck was covered with the herbal medicine given by Lan Xu, it had recovered a lot, “I looked, I didn’t understand, as soon as I came here, my neck oozed bloo-d, it seemed especially evil.”
The shopkeeper said, “There are all kinds of miscellaneous items piled up here; it’s very dirty. Should we… not go in anymore?”
Chu Chen’an turned a deaf ear; the more the shopkeeper spoke, the more he felt there was something wrong. He then took a few steps forward with He Xuesheng.
Lan Xu said to the shopkeeper, “Go ahead and get busy. Keeping those junks was useless, and they should be thrown away.”
The shopkeeper looked at the door of the house, his face slightly blank; he was reluctant but still respectfully said, “Yes.”
After saying that, he left.
Chu Chen’an looked back at Lan Huai behind him before he gathered the courage to push the door open. He took out a small torch to illuminate the room, which was filled with cluttered tables, chairs, plaques, and some odd decorative ornaments and was so quiet that he couldn’t hear a single sound.
He Xuesheng walked ahead and anxiously looked around. “No, I came here to look for them just now.”
So, they retreated and searched for the next room. This inner courtyard was enclosed by four sides; the first floor totaled more than twenty rooms, which were tightly distributed.
They could only search them one by one.
On the thirteenth room, Lan Xu yawned, helped Chu Chen’an hold the flashlight, his chin leaned on Chu Chen’an’s shoulder as he whispered in his ear, “Quickly find them baby, find them so we can go back to sleep.”
Lan Xu’s voice was so nice that it seemed to be prompting him, and the hot air caused a tingle as it spilled over his ears.
Chu Chen’an straightened his body, red-faced and walking forward, he didn’t even need to think about it.
What Lan Xu said about sleeping was undoubtedly a verb.
Chu Chen’an searched this room very carefully, even looking for the gaps in the corners of the wall, but still couldn’t find any trace.
Impossible ah.
He Xuesheng took two steps on the floor and it suddenly made a short creaking sound. He looked down and found that the floor had raised another edge.
He then remembered that he had come to this room during the day and was later called away by the shopkeeper.
He Xuesheng’s heart flashed with a glimmer of hope, he squatted down and tried to pull the wide floor, he pulled several times before the wooden floor began to show signs of loosening.
The shopkeeper said there was a vegetable cellar inside, and this was the only spot he had forgotten to look.
“Chen’an, come and look.” He Xuesheng wrenched this floor up with all his strength, propping it up with one hand and signaling for Chu Chen’an to shine his light inside.
Chu Chen’an quickly snatched the flashlight from Lan Xu’s hand and focused it on the 1.5 meter wide floor. He saw a stone ladder hidden in the dark gap between the floor and the ground, and the light shone down, revealing a deep cellar inside!
“Let’s …… go down and take a look?” Chu Chen’an whispered.
Lan Xu nodded, “Uh, let me hold you.”
Chu Chen’an’s hand was held tightly by Lan Huai’s, he shook his head and followed He Xuesheng down after the floor was completely wrenched open.
“Watch your feet.” Lan Huai reminded him.
Chu Chen’an let out an “Oh” and followed He Xuesheng as he quickened his pace, the light extending all the way down as they arrived in front of a stone door.
He Xuesheng tried to push the door a few times, then the stone door opened with a “rumble”.
There was also light inside the stone door, but it was minimal.
Chu Chen’an held up a flashlight and shone inside. When he saw the stone door clearly, his eyes were slightly stunned and filled with fear and shock.
This stone cellar was exceptionally large, as big as half an athletic field.
There was a pit in the center of the stone cellar, and inside the pit there were a dozen or so bloo-died dry corpses, densely crawling in the hole like maggots.
And above the pit, three unconscious people were hanging, with hideous bite wounds on their necks and bodies.
Those dry corpses were scrambling and hissing for the food that was close at hand.
Chu Chen’an looked physically uncomfortable as he took a few steps back.
Lan Huai stood behind Chu Chen’an, raised his hand to cover Chu Chen’an’s eyes, and wrapped one hand around his waist. “Don’t be afraid.”
