The people outside heard the maid's cry, and Zhu's mother didn't know what was going on in Yulan Curie, she just thought it was the maid and didn't want to do anything, so she didn't pay attention to her.

The other maids ran faster, for fear that there would be some demons and monsters inside, what if they went back and ate them all, so several people completely abandoned Yulanju and Yulanju's two people behind them.

It was getting late, but there was still the residual sun that could illuminate, and Tong Xinlan didn't care about the crying maid who fainted on the ground, and walked into the house by herself.

Tong Xinlan also did a task in ancient times, found candles and fire folds in the drawer next to the guest room, and Tong Xinlan lit candles one by one to illuminate the house, and then looked at the boudoir carefully.

The room should be furnished is also very delicate, Nanmu tables and chairs, gilded beds, splendid bed, open jewelry cabinets, inside the step, hairpins, bracelets and other jewelry are also exquisite and gorgeous, has exceeded the configuration of the general boudoir lady, it can be seen that the client should still be favored.

There are also hard-to-find orchid varieties in the yard outside, and they are not something that one person can take care of.

But why, by his side, there is only one maid waiting by his side now?

Tong Xinlan looked at the maid who was pretending to be dead by the door, sighed, walked to the lanterns that had been extinguished just now, took down the two lanterns, and took them to the house to look at.

This is also Tong Xinlan's question, since there is no other person in the courtyard except for her and the maid who came in just now, then who lit this lantern? And it was extinguished just after she returned.

Tong Xinlan has traveled to so many worlds and has become an expert in conspiracy theories. She didn't believe that any ghost would target a deep girl like this, even if there was really a ghost who wanted to kill someone, it should directly kill the client, instead of scaring the people around the client, obviously it was a means to make the client be feared and finally disliked and abandoned.

Thinking of this, sitting down at the table by the candle, Tong Xinlan opened a papier-mâché lantern cover, and saw that there was no special device in it, only a shelf supporting the candle, and a candle that had been extinguished.

There is a large breathable hole on the top and bottom of the lampshade. There is also no shortage of oxygen.

So. The only thing that went wrong was the candle.

Tong Xinlan pulled out the candle, looked horizontally and vertically, and didn't see the reason.

In order to verify whether the candle was tampered with, Tong Xinlan brought the candle taken out of the lampshade to the flame of the candle she had just lit. Trying to ignite.

Tried several times. The candle in the second lantern was replaced. It's a pity that the candle just can't be lit.

If it can't be lit, it will be tampered with, and Tong Xinlan will bring the candle to the flame and smoke it.

The maid who pretended to be dead outside trembled into the lighted guest room. Seeing Tong Xinlan who was trying to light the candle, she trembled with tears and said, "Miss, that candle has been soaked in yin qi, and it is impossible to be lit, so you can throw it away." ”

Tong Xinlan turned her head to look at the maid and asked, "How do you know that it will not burn?"

The maid leaned closer to the light, and felt that this was a little safer, although there was an eldest lady in the house, but it was better than the yard in the black hole.

Swallowing her saliva, the maid said, "Miss, hasn't it been verified two days ago? It really can't be lit, and the Taoist priest who came that day also said that the candle is infected by yin qi and cannot be lit by the open flame of the yang." ”

Tong Xinlan removed the candle that had melted a lot, and looked at the candle tears that dripped on the table.

The melted candle tears have not yet re-condensed into white greasy circles, but there are dense white dots in the candle tears that should be transparent, Tong Xinlan wiped her fingers, stuck the candle tears to her hands, rubbed them, and Tong Xinlan laughed.

Sure enough, it was the candle that was tampered with.

In the past middle school chemistry class, the teacher said that there is a white powder that can be used as a flame retardant, that is, magnesium oxide (MgO), and the chemistry teacher also took the students to do this experiment, which shocked the children who had just come into contact with chemistry, and had curiosity and interest in the magic of chemistry.

Although Tong Xinlan does not dare to guarantee that the white powder that is mixed in the candle and wrapped in the wick is magnesium oxide, but the most easily available raw material of magnesium oxide flame retardant, it is difficult to achieve the conditions for the synthesis of other flame retardants in ancient times, but magnesium oxide is naturally formed, that is, natural chlorite, which can be used as a powder, and does not need developed chemical means to synthesize.

Therefore, this is someone deliberately adding flame retardant under the candle, so that when the candle burns to the second half, it will suddenly go out, which will scare a group of people.

It's really a good calculation, making people more and more afraid of her as the client, and the rumors that the client is a disaster star are spreading more and more, I don't know what the other party is planning?

"Miss, what are you laughing at, throw away the candles. The maid suddenly laughed when she saw the eldest lady who had been frowning recently, and combined with the rumors of the past two days and the supernatural events that happened at home, the maid felt more and more weird, and the two trembled.

Tong Xinlan saw the scared look of the maid, and originally wanted to explain it to her, so that she should not be afraid, but she remembered that she didn't know who her friends and enemies were now.

Lowering her head, Tong Xinlan said, "It's too late today, throw it tomorrow, you also go to rest early, and I will go to sleep too." ”

Two days ago, the eldest lady was crying every night and was so scared that she couldn't sleep!

Maybe I haven't slept for two days, and today I knelt in the Buddha hall for another day, so I'm tired.

The maid nodded randomly, carried Tong Xinlan to re-light the lantern made of candles, and went to help her fetch water and serve Tong Xinlan to sleep.

Although there is only cold water, Tong Xinlan is also content, there is only one maid in the yard, she is still a superstitious ancient, she is so afraid of ghosts and gods, she dares to go to the well to fetch water.

When the maid went to fetch water, she was afraid that something would happen at night, so Tong Xinlan took out all the candles in the drawer and melted them one by one and tried them, and put all the white powder in the candle tears aside, and put the candles back in the cabinet.

After waiting for Tong Xinlan to fall asleep, the maid didn't dare to blow out the candles, and even lit several candles, but she didn't dare to blow them out, so she wrapped the quilt on the pedal next to the bed and pretended to sleep.

Seeing that the maid was also lying down, Tong Xinlan sighed, and then closed her eyes.

After falling asleep, it was a dream-like dream, and it seemed that she really couldn't see the client, and what she saw was directly the client's life. (To be continued.) )
