Chapter 19: The Origin of Enron
The second grandmother glanced at Li Dian. After a moment's hesitation, he told a story from the past.
Three years ago, my lord once went to the provincial capital to deal with my family's newly opened silk business, and the group went smoothly along the way, but when they returned, they encountered a terrible thing.
I heard someone say that the old man had just left the provincial capital that day.
The sun should have been scorching at noon, but since the provincial city has been beaten, I always feel that the wind is gusting, and the sky suddenly becomes gloomy, and a strange wind somehow rises along the way, the dust is flying, and the loess is blown all over the sky, so that no one in the group can see the road ahead.
Everyone struggled against the wind, covered their mouths and noses with strips of cloth, squinted their eyes and continued to walk against the wind. Walk to the southern suburbs of the provincial capital about a dozen miles of mountain turns.
A two-story small building appeared in the distance, this place has just come out of the provincial capital, the foot is only a few hours, no one will open a shop here to rest, I haven't seen it when I came, this is only two days into the city, how can there be a two-story small building, the wind and sand in the sky make a group of people decide to go to the small building to avoid the wind first, and then go on the road when the wind stops.
From a distance, there was a faint light in the building, and the group walked cautiously towards the light, and they couldn't see anything clearly. From time to time, fist-sized stones fell from the col on the side of the road with the blowing of the strange wind, and everyone thought that they had encountered a mountain collapse at first, so they ran desperately towards the light.
The lightning kept flashing, and it was good that I wasn't there, otherwise I would have been scared to death, but the strange thing was that the weather was weird, but there was not a drop of rain in the sky.
When the group arrived at the door of the house, the root of a mulberry locust tree in front of the door floated a miasma, the smell was extremely unpleasant, and the smoky perspective that was not clear became more bizarre with this sudden miasma, and we didn't know how many times we walked back and forth on weekdays. Since leaving the city today, strange things have been happening. Everyone's hearts have already risen to their throats.
suddenly
"Woo woo"
Behind him, there was another ghostly sound.
Everyone ran into the house in a panic, but the door could not be opened, and the whining came closer and closer.
Everyone looked back but couldn't see anything, only felt that their scalps were numb and shivering.
The old man ordered someone to smash the door with stones, but the wooden door was so strong that it could not be smashed open.
Bang bang,
A sound came from one of the windows, and he fell to the ground, and he boldly walked to the window and looked inside, and the faint light was in the corner of the second floor. There was no danger in sight, and everyone went in through the window one by one, and the group was stunned.
The room was cluttered and empty, with square tables long covered in dust, cobwebs covering all corners, and the sound of cicadas eating.
Everyone was terrified, no one knew where the house came from and what was going on outside. Look at the corner of the second floor, the light is still there, but no one wants to go to the second floor to see what is going on at the moment.
Everyone sat in the room in horror, staring nervously around. No one knows what will happen next.
"Daughter Lang, falling branches, new likes, relatives crying". A mournful singing voice came faintly from the room in the light on the second floor.
Everyone couldn't help but look to the second floor when they heard this mournful singing, and the bright light disappeared with everyone's eyes, followed by the figure of a woman in red appearing from time to time, getting closer and closer, closer and closer.
"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock"
There was a knock at the door, which drowned out the sound of lightning outside, the wind and the rockfall.
The figure of the woman in red disappeared as she reached the top of the stairs, a sense of fear gripped everyone in the room. All that was left was the sound of wheezing.
"Knock, knock,"
"Knock, knock, knock"
The old man said tremblingly:
"Which of you goes and sees, there's something knocking on the door. ”
Everyone is scared to death at the moment, no one dares to go, and no one knows their voice.
"Knock, knock, knock"
The knocking on the door continued.
Some of the people in the room covered their ears and closed their eyes, some of them had their eyes wide open, staring at the door, and some of them had fainted with fright.
Master An has traveled with his father since he was a child, and he has seen everything in big and small scenes, and when he was young, he also relied on his own lonely courage to fight for such a family business now, but what happened now makes Master An also frightened.
Time passed minute by minute, and one of the family members in the line was frightened by death.
"Ah......h
With a loud scream, he collapsed in fright, got up and rushed to the door, opening the door.
Suddenly, a thick yin wind blew into the house, and everyone stared at the door.
At the door appeared an old man who was almost gray, with a white beard hanging low, bent over, standing in the doorway, while on his shoulders against a young girl, blood dripping down his arm.
Ah, the people in the room were all frightened when they saw this, and the screams boiled, followed by a group of people kneeling towards the door.
"Spare your life, spare your life"
Keep kowtowing,
The old man at the door raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of white eyes, and the rest of his face was temporarily covered by the white beard. I can't see clearly.
There is only a pair of white eyes, revealing a sinister gaze. Keep an eye on the people in the room.
