Su Nan nodded.
Seeing this, the old man immediately opened the gate, saying, “Young Master, please come in. I will take you to meet my master.”
Su Nan followed the old man into the courtyard.
The mansion of Li Caizhu is large, but due to the lack of servants, it appears lifeless.
The old man led Su Nan to a lobby, saying, “Young Master, please wait here. I will go inform the master.”
Then he turned around and left, leaving Su Nan alone and waiting.
Soon, a slightly overweight man in his sixties came hurrying over. Upon seeing Su Nan, his eyes lit up with joy, “Young Master, are you going to help my Li Mansion get rid of the demon?”
Su Nan cut to the chase, “What exactly happened at your mansion?”
“The story begins three years ago,” Li Caizhu explained the situation from beginning to end.
What he said was not far from what the old tea-seller had told him. Su Nan silently listened and asked directly: “With these events happening, why haven’t you left?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to move, but I can’t. The nearest town to White Water Town is thirty li away. We older folks don’t have the energy to travel that far. If we encounter a demon on the way, we will certainly perish.” Li Caizhu sighed.
Su Nan nodded and continued, “Have there been any recent disappearances?”
Li Caizhu shook his head, “Not recently.”
“No?” Su Nan frowned.
The old woman had told him that several players had disappeared after entering Li Caizhu’s house over ten days ago. This was inconsistent with what Li Caizhu was saying.
Something was off.
Su Nan’s expression turned solemn, “Old Man Li, I heard before coming here that several young men around my age visited this place over ten days ago, and they disappeared afterwards.”
Li Caizhu was taken aback, then forced a bitter smile, “Young Master, you might not know, but indeed, five young men came ten days ago. However, they found nothing after searching my mansion, and then they left.”
“They left?” Su Nan was dubious.
Li Caizhu continued, “As you may have noticed, that demon is only interested in young people. There are no young people left in my mansion due to the torment of the demon. Even the youngest servant is already fifty-two.”
“The last person went missing a month ago.”
“A month ago, I took a concubine. But she went missing the very next morning.”
Su Nan asked, “Do you know where the concubine disappeared? Could you take me to see it?”
“Of course, please follow me.”
Li Caizhu led the way and soon arrived at a room in the back courtyard.
This was once Li Caizhu’s bridal chamber. It was very festively furnished, but since the disappearance of the concubine, he had not stayed here anymore.
