Chapter 1451 Steak
Of the four players, the other two were unwilling to go up, and the wooden wall was a bit high, so they might not be able to climb it.
After Chen Mu's strength was suppressed, he didn't train much on weekdays, making it difficult for him to climb in without making a sound.
If we're really talking about who's the strongest right now, it should be Xiaoye.
Only Xiaoye was able to climb the wooden wall silently and pull them inside.
Chen Mu patted him on the shoulder, "You've worked hard, be careful. After you go up, pull us in, but don't get caught."
Xiaoye nodded. As a silent executor, he was always very efficient and fast.
He found a foothold on the plank, stepped through two broken holes, and quickly climbed onto the roof of the wooden house.
After getting onto the roof, Xiaoye looked into the yard and saw that there was no one there.
Only in the kitchen was there a faint yellow candlelight.
"Boss, I'll pull you up!"
Xiaoye said softly, while reaching down.
Chen Mu was the second to go up. He stepped on a small hole in the old wooden wall, and with Xiao Ye's help, he easily climbed onto the roof.
Next up are Lin Shanshan and Hong Wenli.
Once we got on the roof, the aroma from the kitchen in the yard became immediately noticeable.
Hong Wenli sniffed, and he could also smell the aroma of meat. "It smells so good, especially in the middle of the night."
Lin Shanshan sniffed it and couldn't help but wrinkle her nose. "Why does it still smell of blood?"
Chen Mu had already noticed the detail, but it was only after the two people went up to the roof and it became very obvious that he realized it.
This is the difference between pro players and ordinary players, which is extremely obvious in various details.
Chen Mu observed that the entrance to the basement was inside the house.
This means that if people want to go into the basement to deliver the letter, they must go into the wooden house.
Fortunately, candlelight was only present in the kitchen of the cabin. The other areas, such as the living room and bathroom, were completely dark.
Players can enter from the living room and then find an opportunity to slip down the stairs into the basement.
In any case, the staircase leading to the basement can't possibly be located in the kitchen.
The risk is low, you can give it a try!
After determining their course of action, Chen Mu and the others carefully jumped down from the roof one by one.
There was a pile of straw in the yard. Falling onto the straw only made a soft rustling sound. Hopefully, the people in the kitchen wouldn't hear it through the wooden door.
Soon, all four of them jumped down.
They tiptoed closer to the living room, glancing towards the kitchen every now and then.
In the kitchen, the dim candlelight flickered, making it impossible to tell whether anyone was inside.
However, based on common sense, the owner of the house most likely cooks in the kitchen.
The four of them tiptoed to the wooden door of the living room.
The wooden door to the living room was closed, and it was unclear whether it was locked or not.
Chen Mu stepped forward, intending to test the waters.
Even if it's locked, it's still easy for Chen Mu—the Key to Hell can open any lock in the world.
As for why we climbed over the wall instead of using the Hell Key to open the courtyard gate, the reason is actually quite simple.
Because the gate to the yard didn't have a lock at all! It only had an inside latch, which was just a piece of wood blocking it!
How do you open a door that isn't locked?
Forcibly breaking the door latch would definitely make noise and attract the attention of the people inside.
Sometimes, traditional door bolts do have their advantages.
Chen Mu arrived at the wooden door to the living room. He was about to reach out and try to see if the door was locked.
Suddenly, the sound of a wooden door creaking open could be heard.
Chen Mu was startled, as were the three players behind him.
Lin Shanshan, who was walking at the very back, stared wide-eyed at Chen Mu.
She really wanted to ask Chen Mu why he pushed the door open so rashly and made such a loud noise.
But when she looked towards the door, her eyes instantly filled with terror, and she was speechless.
The wooden door to the living room could be seen to be opened from the inside.
Inside the door stood a bald man in his forties or fifties with a fleshy face, wearing a vest.
What's even more terrifying is that the man was also carrying a knife!
Before Chen Mu and the others could come up with an excuse, the bald man spoke first.
He neither asked where the people came from nor reprimanded them for trespassing into his home.
All that could be heard was his sinister laugh, and his hoarse voice saying:
"I thought there were mice in the yard, but it turns out we have guests."
You've come at the perfect time! I just made a pot of steak. Would you like to try some?
The red wine steak is made with red wine from grapes grown on my own farm.
As the bald man spoke, he turned to the side, one hand on the door, while the other hand, holding a knife, gestured for him to come in.
In this situation, who would dare not enter?
The players had no choice but to grit their teeth and enter the living room one by one.
As Lin Shanshan passed the man, she used a pre-prepared excuse, pointing to the letter in her hand, and said, "Um...we're postmen, we're here to deliver mail..."
Lin Shanshan originally wanted to explain that she and her group were not robbers or anything like that, and at least had a legitimate identity.
But she never considered why Chen Mu hadn't said anything.
Because it's really unreasonable to break into someone's yard in the middle of the night to deliver a message!
Saying that out loud will only make me more worthy of suspicion.
Lin Shanshan was just too inexperienced; she only thought of the first level and didn't expect this one.
Fortunately, the bald man didn't dwell on it. He just smiled and said, "Oh, delivering a letter? It's nothing. It's late at night. Let's eat first. Work isn't urgent."
Once all four of them had entered the living room, the bald man slammed the wooden door shut.
Suddenly, the living room was plunged into darkness. Only the dim light from the burning candles in the adjacent kitchen shone faintly through the gaps in the wooden planks.
In the darkness, Chen Mu and the others smelled a rich aroma of meat coming from the room.
The aroma of the meat was so strong that Hong Wenli couldn't help but swallow.
Chen Mu could smell it; amidst the rich aroma of meat, there was indeed a hint of red wine.
The bald man didn't seem to be lying; he really did use red wine to stew a lot of meat.
Chen Mu saw that a table had been set up in the very center of the living room. On the table was a ceramic pot, from which steam was still rising.
The rich aroma of meat emanates from the earthenware pot.
Next to the earthenware pot was a white plate. On the plate was a steak, with a knife and fork on either side.
On the side of the plate, there was a wine glass with half a glass of red wine inside.
Hong Wenli muttered to himself, "Red wine stewed steak, paired with red wine, this bald guy is quite the connoisseur."
To be honest, Hong Wenli was a little hungry.
