The old servant brought Zhang Chun and the other three to the guest room.
The old servant turned away and closed the door.
Moreover, there were two additional servants who had come to 'serve' everyone. From the looks of it, the family's master hoped to be able to control the movements of Zhang Chun and the other three.
However, this guest room was quite large and was not as small as the villa. He would not feel bored even if he stayed here for a day.
The guest room was not as eerie as it had been outside. The burning fireplace provided enough heat.
And in this guest room, there was even a portrait of the master of the family. These family figures hung high up on either side of the corridor, wearing different styles of clothing.
Bu Ping seemed to have asked the owner of the house these questions before, and was introducing the place to Zhang Chun.
"These are the successive Patriarchs of the Xinyuanjian Family." Bu Ping started to point at the portraits and introduced them one by one. "The one at the top of this list is the New Valley Sword Son, he founded this family during the war era of the Japan, and the book on ninja arts that we are looking for is also rumored to be written by him."
Zhang Chun carefully sized up the person in the portrait. The ancient man looked like a farmer, small and wrinkled. The only thing that caught Zhang Chun's attention was that his eyes were actually a pair of brown eyes!
He was someone from Japan during the time of war, and should only have black pupils.
It seems that the Xinyuanjian Family is not a purebred of the Japan!
The Xinyuanjian Family had already lived in this desolate land for more than five hundred years. He possessed a powerful cultivation technique, but was willing to be a hermit's family that never appeared in any kind of news media.
But now, they were not even pure Japan people!
The higher the latitude, the faster the sky darkened. Around five o'clock, the sky had already begun to darken.
The servants in the castle had already begun to liven up, running back and forth in preparation for a sumptuous dinner.
It seemed that it was exactly as the old servant had said. There were many servants in the castle, and even the prepared food could be described as mountainous.
However, Zhang Chun was very curious to know where these servants came from. After all, even staying here for half a day, Zhang Chun felt a little uncomfortable.
The last time Bu Ping came here, he had already understood the situation here. This time, he was naturally sent as a commentator: "Speaking of which, it is also weird, many of these servants are of second and even third generations. They have served this Xinyuanjian Family for generations to come."
That is to say, these people could all be considered as the trusted aides of the new village.
"But even so, the Xinyuanjian Family is still looking for servants from the outside at a high price. Every year, all sorts of strange things happen here, and a lot of people get lost. For example, not long after I came last time, an accident occurred. The snow on the roof of the pagoda outside fell and directly crushed a servant to death. "
Bu Ping continued to talk about the strangeness of this place, "It's such a pity, I got a lot of information from that servant last time.
Zhang Chun frowned, wasn't this method of killing them to silence them? But why did Bu Ping not suspect anything, now that he was in front of everyone, he could not ask, and could only temporarily ignore the questions.
The dining room was on the third floor of the castle, decorated like a Russian court, with expensive velvet carpets.
The one who supported the banquet this time was New Gu Jian's daughter. By the time everyone had arrived, she had already settled into her seat.
However, instead of greeting her guests according to traditional etiquette, she ate alone.
Zhang Chun and the others were all seated under the lead of the servants, they politely raised their cups to thank the hosts for their hospitality, but they never thought that there would be no reaction at all.
After the girl finished eating, she left alone!
Zhang Chun watched as his master left with his mouth agape. Only Bu Ping was not surprised.
"The last time I came here, that young lady was already like this," Bu Ping explained with a smile after seeing everyone's joke, "In my impression, that person was only a deaf mute. "Oh, by the way, her name is Anna."
"Anna," Zhang Chun repeated the name. "It sounds more like a Russian name."
"Moreover, according to what others said, this young master's mind isn't very normal, and he's a bit crazy. According to the dead servant, this young master would occasionally shout out loud, occasionally letting out frightened laughter, and then crying, looking like he's a bit schizophrenic. "
Zhang Chun did not expect this place to be so complicated. Could it be that the ninja arts manual was so profound that even the books related to it were unusual?
Zhang Chun stopped thinking about these things for the time being and went to sleep in peace. In any case, he would find a way to resolve the issue when the New Valley Patriarch returned tomorrow.
It was really dark to the north and dawn to the early morning. It was barely five o'clock, and the sky was already almost bright.
Zhang Chun then stood up, and before breakfast, he received a piece of news – the new Gu Jianlian had returned.
Liao Tai Lang was already waiting for them in the living room on the second floor.
This Liao Tai Lang was a middle-aged man who was not even fifty years old, he was tall and sturdy, even at this early of a time he was still in high spirits.
"Lord Octavio has told me." Liao Tai Lang did not retract his business smile, and this made Zhang Chun feel a little disgusted, "To tell you guys the truth, I actually do not have any leads on this matter. The only clue is that we found it in a small village near here. "
Is this considered a kickball? Zhang Chun was a little depressed, it seemed like the new Gu Jian Family Head was preparing to chase him and his men away.
and the Patriarch were the only ones who had interacted with each other before. In order to prevent the atmosphere from turning awkward, Bu Ping could only chat with the Patriarch casually, as the topic of their conversation was all about the history of the Xinyuanjian Family.
He was, after all, a noble. When it came to the glory of the Patriarch, this guy could finally answer any questions he wanted to.
However, as everyone was' happily 'chatting, the door was pushed open impolitely, and a white ghost-like figure' floated 'into the room.
And this spirit was Anna, whom he had seen last night.
The young lady still sat beside her father, looking down on him, and started to eat. When she heard Zhang Chun and the others inquiring about the village, this young lady finally said her first sentence.
"Ignorant person, since you wish to search for the truth of this world."
