This was a deserted yard, which didn't cover a large area. When he was on the wall, Maxim had observed the whole yard carefully.
No one had taken care of the yard for a long time. Most of the yard was covered with thatches of the same height of a person.
The small leaves of the grass were densely packed in the courtyard, making people unable to find a place to stand.
When he came down, there were several scratches on the bottom of his trousers. If he hadn't seen the blood on the leaf, he wouldn't have noticed it.
On the other side of the courtyard wall was a small courtyard. It was built in the style of the period of the Republic of China and was well maintained. There was no obvious exposed place, but also no traces of living.
Maxim pushed away the thatch carefully and walked towards the courtyard. It was not a long distance and he should have arrived soon.
He felt that he had walked a long distance, but there was no sign of the courtyard in front of him. Did he go in the wrong direction? He gasped for breath and tried to walk ahead after confirming the correct direction.
It was said that when ghosts stopped someone, the person would get lost and unable to find the right direction. Although he didn't believe it, it was mysterious at night.
He tried to comfort himself, but an idea came to his mind.
With a shudder, he suddenly felt a little palpitation and powerless panic.
A gust of cold wind blew from behind, as if someone was blowing towards his neck. He tried to turn his head, but found that his neck seemed to be a little stiff, and he could not turn his head at all.
The woman's sobs, sometimes high and sometimes low, floated in the air, sometimes far and sometimes close. He tried to catch the cry from the wind, but found that he seemed to be unable to hear any sound.
With all his strength, he suddenly turned his head. He was surprised to find that he had returned to the starting point, back to the place where he had just come down the wall of the courtyard.
What happened? He remembered that he had walked a long distance. Why did he come back? Did he really bump into a ghost? Suddenly he was frightened by himself.
He stared at the wall with his eyes wide open. Suddenly, he found a red shadow on the wall. A female ghost in red clothes was floating in the air. Under the dim red moonlight, there was no her shadow on the ground.
Seeing the female ghost stuck out her blood red tongue, which was getting longer and longer, and slowly reached in front of him, Maxim felt that his nerves were about to collapse.
On the second day, a piece of news was published on the front page of Dragon City morning newspaper. It said that Maxim was abandoned after he was killed.
The news release was also accompanied by a close photo of the scene. Maxim, with a pair of gold fish eyes, lay on a deserted land. From the expression on his face, it seemed that he had experienced a panic before his death.
No one in the Rong Mansion found this matter, and everything was handled silently.
The wedding of Fell and Alice was held on the charming private island of the Qin family.
Zac didn't show up, and Essie, came alone with the children.
Mili, Rabi and Dot served as flower children.
"Great! We can be flower kids many times," Rabi said happily.
"That's right. When Uncle Vinton gets married, we will be his flower kids; when sworn father and sworn mother get married, we will be their flower kids; and when daddy Hanson and aunt Ivy get married, we can also be their flower kids," Mili said with a smile, looking very excited.
Valery looked at Rabi not far away. She was very unhappy when she heard that he called Essie Mommy. He was her son.
After the wedding, she took the opportunity to approach Rabi.
"Baby, do you remember me?"
"Yes, bad aunt." Rabi stuck out his tongue at her. He didn't like her at all.
Valery was a little angry.
"I'm not a bad aunt. I'm your mother. You're my child, not Essie's. Essie is not your mother," she shouted.
Rabi was so frightened that he burst into tears.
The bodyguard pushed Valery away in a hurry.
