The strange sound was not loud, but full of pain, like an animal's cry, and also like a person moaning.

  Hua Rou's heart was racing and she hastily ran away with her bundle, afterwards she found a good place - the janitor's closet.

  This is a small dark room, filled with brooms and buckets for sweeping. Huajun wrapped the waistband and pearl flowers in an old dress and stuffed them into the dusty corner, covering them with a pile of miscellaneous objects before retreating.

  She carried her bundle and prepared to return to the front yard, but on the way she heard that strange sound again, and the sound was more urgent and frequent than before, almost one after another.

  Hua Ruo walked a few steps, unable to suppress her curiosity, and followed the sound in the courtyard, finally turning to the deepest corner of the poisonous house courtyard, standing in front of a black lacquered door.

  Painful moans came out of the room intermittently, and Hua Rou tiptoed up to the door and peered inside through the gap, but she never expected that the door wasn't closed tightly!

  As soon as she leaned in, the door swung open inwardly, and she fell directly inside, landing awkwardly on her stomach on the ground.

  Hua Ruo quickly scrambled up, and what she saw left her speechless.

  The house is not small, with many wooden shelves, they are neatly arranged in rows, and on the shelves are all kinds of strange insects, snakes and ants; between the shelves, on the ground, are wooden cages of various sizes.

  As she stepped inside, she found the wooden cage was filled with corpses of various animals. As she went deeper, the old bloodstains on the ground became more and more visible, and that strange moaning sound grew clearer.

  Hua Rou's heart was filled with anger.

  She thought she should leave quickly, but the pain mixed in that voice hooked her, and she stepped inside step by step until she saw a sheep.

  The sheep's head was not small, it fell to the ground, twitching and groaning, its body covered with festering sores, emitting a nauseating stench.

  Ugh...

  Huā Róu felt nauseous, but compared to nausea, there was an unspeakable terror that was quietly rising up behind her back...

  Without hesitation, she turned around and ran back, wanting to leave this place. However, just as she was about a zhang away from the door, someone suddenly appeared at the entrance.

  This was a man, tall and large in stature. Because he was backlit, Hua Rong couldn't see his face at all, but... she saw the short knife in his hand, and also saw the eye-catching red on his clothes.

  Blood!

  Hua Rong's heart skipped a beat and she opened her mouth to scream: "Ah......"

  However, she had only called out half a sound when the black shadow rushed up to her and covered her mouth with one hand.

  "Shut up!"

  The low rebuke was filled with tension and unease, Hua Rou's eyes widened as she stared at the man in front of her with thick eyebrows and big eyes, thinking to herself that she wouldn't be in another life-or-death situation again, would she?

  "If you don't want to die, then don't shout, got it?"

  Hua Rou nodded hastily, and the man slowly released his hand.

  Hua Rou didn't call out, she was very clear that keeping quiet at this moment was the safest move, while the man looked at her suspiciously: "Who are you?"

  "Hua... Hua Rou." Hua Rou didn't want to answer, but she saw the clothes and belt of her opponent, and already understood that this person was from the Tang Gate, however his belt pattern was neither a red droplet nor a white flower vine, but a flying needle.

  She answered honestly because they all belonged to the same school of thought.

  The man looked her up and down, and when his eyes fell on Hua Rou's waistband, his eyebrows were raised high, and his voice was tinged with excitement: "You're the one who just entered the poisonous room yesterday?"

  Hua Rou's face showed a hint of fear as she nodded slightly.

  A flicker of intimacy crossed the man's face for an instant, but his expression immediately turned solemn: "Listen carefully, you've never been here and haven't seen me, got it?"

  This is a warning, Hua Rou isn't stupid, and naturally nodded obediently.

  "This is a secret between you and me, remember that if this secret is known by a third person... you will die."

  What a straightforward threat in the last sentence!

  Hua Rou nodded vigorously, expressing her genuine understanding.

  "Go quickly!" The man stepped aside and revealed the door.

  Hua Rou immediately took off running.

  "Wait!"

  As soon as she reached the door, she heard those two words behind her. Although Hua Rou was eager to rush out of the door, she thought of the short knife in that person's hand and stood still obediently.

  However, her heart felt as if it was crawling with spiders... This fear made her involuntarily shrink her shoulders and tremble slightly, her eyes tightly closed together, not even daring to look back.

  The man took out a handkerchief from his pocket and walked to Hua Rou's face, handing it to her. Just as he was about to speak, he saw her closing her eyes in fear. He was taken aback for a moment, but his gaze immediately fell on the bloodstains on her cheek, and he directly raised his hand to wipe away the blood from her face.
