Chapter 192: The Old Mansion of the Watchmaker

The brother just wanted to tidy it up, something strange happened, the third child was caught by the door first, half of the palm was caught in the crack of the door, and he went to the hospital to take a film, so he had several fractures. Then there is the second child, who directly smashed his head in a small wooden box on the cabinet when he moved things, and now he is wrapped in facial features. Lao Tan pondered, don't move yet, and take the two brothers to the hospital quickly.

I thought it was an accident, but I waited for the injury to heal, and my brother came again, this time with workers, and I planned to move all the things out of the house first, and then deal with it, divide it, and empty the house and wait for demolition.

But this time it was the unlucky workers, there were two people who carried the box and smashed their feet, some went down the stairs and ended up stepping on the air, and one unlucky egg actually let the wild dog bite him.

This is a bit mysterious, anyway, the notice of demolition has not come down yet, the brother first accepted the idea of moving things, and Lao Tan found that there is no accident anywhere in the house, as long as you enter that room, it will be haunted. The three brothers thought that the old man had a spirit in the sky, so they were angry that they moved his studio, and specially invited the god card to pay tribute to the melon, fruit, pear and peach to explain the demolition.

After finishing this, Lao Tan entered the room by himself, he didn't dare to move, he just took a small pair of tweezers, just walked to the door, the door slammed shut, he flashed, his hand still let the door slam down, and the tweezers pierced his legs. He screamed in pain, and was scared in his heart, so he quickly pulled out the tweezers and put them back on the table, and then limped out.

It sounded like that, and Lao Tan continued: "Later, I didn't move that room for now, and the two brothers were still injured, so I thought about finding out if there was a master who could exorcise ghosts." ”

I pretended to be relaxed and said, "Old Tan, this... It doesn't have to be a ghost, maybe it's just a coincidence?"

He waved his hand, "It's hard to say, whether it's a coincidence or not, no one dares to try again." ”

"And, there's a very paradoxical thing, I heard them say that before they were injured, they all saw a big dog pounce on them, just like those two workers, who had been carrying the box well, and one of them saw this, and was startled before letting go. Another worker also said that he saw a fierce big dog, so he stumbled and fell down the stairs, and even my brother said that he had seen it, but I didn't see it. ”

Dog, big dog, fierce big dog, such a figurative thing, if you really want something, I'm afraid it's a dog demon. I thought about it, we should be able to deal with this, dealing with monsters is much easier than dealing with people, if it's a dog demon, ask what it wants to do, and negotiate to deal with it. I nodded slightly, "Okay, then it's okay, I'll take the time to go to your old mansion with Qingxuan." ”

"That's for the best, but be careful, I've found out that as long as you don't bring things out of your room, you'll be fine. ”

"Okay, got it, when is it convenient for you?"

"Why don't you do it in the afternoon, I'll give you an address, and I'll wait for you there in the afternoon?"

"Okay, you can rest assured, anyway, the demolition is not in a hurry, let's help you take a look first. ”

"Well, then please. ”

After a few more greetings with Lao Tan, he wanted to go back to the company for a meeting first, wait for us at the old mansion in the afternoon, and send Lao Tan away and I will transfer back to the company, "Sister, you are wondering, is it possible that this matter in Lao Tan's house is a dog demon doing evil?"

Su Er wasn't sure, "It stands to reason that there are definitely no ghosts, but if it's a dog demon, there should be an entity, there's no reason why so many people only see illusions and don't see entities." ”

"No matter, let's go see first, I'll know if there are any monsters, I can't take the second master with me, its nose is much more smart than mine." ”

At lunchtime, I told them about this, anyway, I went to explore first, Xi Fan and Ziqin were still looking after the house, and Su Er and I took Lin Qingxuan and the second uncle to take a look.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, our group drove to the Tan family's old house, which is a particularly old urban area, all alleys, old shops, etc., we parked the car outside the alley, and bought a few buns at the bun shop on the side, while eating and walking inside, the Tan family's old house is more inside, when we walked, we saw the old Tan standing at the door with a mobile phone, and waved after seeing us.

I walked up to him and looked up, "It's been a long year." ”

"It's not, the people who live here are all authentic people in the city, to say that this street used to be quite lively, outside is the old street, and then it was developed, the center of gravity of the city has been changing, for decades, this side has become the old city on the edge. ”

I nodded, and he pulled out the key to open the padlock, and the wooden door creaked open.

But it was true that no one lived for too long, the door shaft was sealed, and it was opened by a small half, and Lao Tan pushed the door open with all his strength, and a large piece of dust fell. I stretched out my hand and waved, "Good fellow, how many years has no one lived?"

"After the old man left, no one lived there, and several of our brothers' houses were bought in the city center, and no one thought of coming back here to see. ”

There is a small courtyard at the entrance, and on the left are many large and small flower pots, which were planted in pots before, but now they are all dead. The basin and the ground are overgrown with weeds, and there is a Yamaha 100 parked on the right, this car is old enough, and now it is also rusty, it can only be regarded as a pile of scrap metal, it is estimated that it used to be the old man's car.

There is also a door inside, which is opened with a key, and it is very common to enter in the old-fashioned pattern, with a very old pattern floor tiles on the floor, some old furniture scattered around, and a lot of broken cobwebs hanging in the corners. Lao Tan said: "In fact, everything inside and outside the house is basically emptied, and some worthless small items are left to be lost, and someone will naturally deal with the demolition when the time comes." ”

I looked everywhere, and there were still some old calendars on the walls, the doors of several rooms were open, and even the kitchen was empty. I scratched my head, "What's inside, where's the old man's studio?"

Lao Tan pointed upstairs, "On the second floor, my brothers used to live in the upstairs room, and one room was the old man's studio. ”

He led us to the staircase, "Be careful, wooden staircase, it's too old to be afraid of decay, you pay attention." With that, he took the lead and went up to the second floor.

Upstairs is very simple, there is a door on the left, a corridor on the right, there are two or three rooms in the past, there is a clothes pole on the top of the corridor, and there are a few iron hangers with plastic skin hanging here and there.

He pointed to his right, "These three are the houses of the three of us, the houses I built when I was a child, and they have been counting for decades." The one on the left is the studio. ”

He took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, found one and inserted it, turned it twice without responding, and then changed another one, and the door lock moved. But instead of opening the door, he looked at us and said, "Let's take a look?"

I knew that he was a little weak in his heart, and said with a smile: "The room is not big, Lao Tan, you just put it at the door and introduce it to us, and I will go in with Qingxuan to take a look." ”

Lao Tan had no opinion, turned the lock cylinder and heard a click, and then gently pushed the door open. The room was dark, he reached out and touched the wall again, found a lanyard and pulled it, and the room suddenly brightened up.

"He's afraid of dust, he doesn't have windows, but the light bulbs are all high wattage, and there is a very bright lamp, on the workbench, because many of the things here are delicate small parts, so we were not allowed to enter when we were children. ”

I walked into the room with Lin Qingxuan, turned my head to Su Er, and said, "You also wait outside for a while." Su Er nodded and put down the second master in his arms.

Although Lao Tan wondered why we brought a black cat over, when he thought that it was a ghost exorcism, the black cat at least had a little mysterious color, so he didn't ask. There is a bookshelf in the room, which is filled with all kinds of books and drawings, basically technical books, such as "Precision Timing Instruments" and so on. The other shelf was full of tools, tweezers, hammers, etc., and tools that I can't name.

In the middle was a large workbench, about the size of the executive desk in the boss's office now, with a piece of felt on it, and then a lamp, and a few other gadgets, and a small plastic box, divided into many compartments, each of which contained a part.

Lao Tan said again: "When the old man was leaving, he was actually here, and the nanny found it, and he seemed to be making a watch before leaving." ”

Speaking of this, he was also a little gloomy, "Our three brothers, none of whom inherited the old man's craftsmanship, he didn't say it, he actually had some pimples in his heart, but these days, making watches can't support his family, let alone making watches, even the stalls that repair watches are now difficult to see." Some of his old buddies before him went to watch stores to help people repair watches for commissions, and the old people could, but they really wanted to change to young people, alas. ”

"In fact, to talk of, but my daughter is very fond of these, since she was a child with her grandfather to play, to say the craft of making watches, I am afraid that she learned a few points, and then she applied for the precision instrument major, but now the precision instruments are different from the past, they are now engaged in optoelectronic products, I can't understand, but it can be regarded as the old man's wish. ”

Lao Tan sighed again, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, Su Er handed him a piece of paper, he took it and wiped it, "Oh, there is also a watch, I didn't understand it at that time, so I put all the things on the table into boxes for him and put them in the middle drawer." ”

I opened the drawer, and saw some notebooks inside, and a plastic box with a movement in it, which looked like a semi-finished product, and a small box similar to the one on the table, but with more and smaller compartments, and many layers, and a part in each compartment.

There is no mistake
