Chapter 132: The Strange Haunted House
Li Hao climbed up the window and drilled into the house, and said:
"My cousin is a very interesting person, he always likes to weave his case into some ghost and monster or something and tell it to me, and he always scares me.
So I don't really believe there's a ghost in this house. However, he said that this is an empty house, which should be true, and he will not lie so easily. ”
"Of course, there are no ghosts in this world at all, there must be someone pretending to be a ghost inside, the residents of this neighborhood are suspicious of dark ghosts, and the moon is chaotic and sees virtual flowers, hey, the ones behind you hurry up and keep up." Chen An said as he followed Li Hao's ass and climbed in.
Deng Jiawei said with interest: "I really hope that it is haunted, you think, how exciting it is to 'see ghosts'! ”
As he spoke, he pushed the least daring Du Kaiwen to climb in first, and then he followed, and he turned around and closed the window again.
"Don't brag just yet, don't be scared out of the urine for a while!" Du Kevin muttered.
All four entered the living room, and they stood for a moment, their eyesight gradually adjusting to the light inside.
The living room is not very big, in the middle of the room there is a set of rattan chairs around a rattan chair coffee table, and on the opposite side of the window against the wall, there is an antique dark brown log Bogu shelf, on which are placed seven or eight vases of various sizes, copper peacocks, white deer and other collectibles.
Also, there are no modern appliances like TVs, refrigerators, or stereos.
"Hey, where are the TVs and computers you said!" Deng Jiawei slapped Li Hao on the back.
"This is a two-story building, there are so many rooms, do people have to put these things in the living room?" Although Li Hao had a hard mouth, he also felt that the furnishings of this living room were too simple.
They turned around and found that there was only a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and a utility room on the first floor, they decided to go to the second floor to have a look after discussion, Deng Jiawei turned on the small flashlight and shone on the stairs, Li Hao and Du Kaiwen followed behind, and after Chen An broke off, the four of them cautiously went up to the second floor.
There are four rooms on the second floor, and the doors are all tightly closed.
Deng Jiawei casually pushed open the room opposite the stairs.
This room should be the largest on the second floor, and there is a door leading to the balcony, I don't know why the owner didn't use it as a bedroom, but arranged it into a large study.
The four walls of the study are filled with bookcases that reach up to the roof, all of which are full of books, and under the window is a large desk with some pen and ink and paper inkstones, a brush on the ink inkstone, and a piece of rice paper under the paperweight.
They looked over and saw that it was an unfinished painting, simply outlining the outline of a hibiscus tree, but they still saw that it was the one in the courtyard.
"Good drawing. Chen An had studied Gonghua and couldn't help but praise it when he saw it, and the rest were not interested in painting.
"Wow, I have a room full of books, is the owner of this house selling books?" Li Hao usually has a headache when he sees a book, and he sticks out his tongue at the bookcase.
"Look to see if there are any suspenseful fairy tales and martial arts novels, and it shouldn't be a crime to take a few books from the haunted house, right?" Deng Jiawei said, opened the cabinet door and began to rummage.
"Be careful that the ghost is looking for you to get the book back!" Du Kaiwen hit him, and he was a person who loved to read books, although he had different interests from Deng Jiawei.
So Du Kaiwen also used a flashlight to shine on the bookcase, looking at the books inside, although Chen An and Li Hao were not interested in books, but in order to wait for them, they also browsed casually.
"Youminglu"? Deng Jiawei looked at the thread-bound books that he had never heard of and muttered to himself.
"I don't even have a book by Jin Yong, what kind of book is it!" he muttered.
"There are also books with normal titles," Chen pointed to a book thicker than a brick, "Modern Medicine", "Anatomy", and "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Materia Medica", is the owner of this house a doctor?"
"It's really a wide range of interests, not only a lover of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also a doctor," Li Hao also found a few chess books, piano scores and some book stickers, and couldn't help but sigh, "The owner of this house is really elegant." ”
"He may be a Taoist priest," Du Kaiwen pulled out a copy of "Yin and Yang Bagua", and when he saw a copy of "I Ching" next to him, he said, "Otherwise, who would read this kind of book?"
"That's because you have a Taoist priest in your family, and everyone you see is a Taoist priest. Now, Taoist monks and monks are all working in the temple for salaries, so they don't have to look at this?"
"Can't there be a master outside the world?" The Du family believes in Taoism, so he was very unconvinced when he heard this.
"Big brother, this is the urban area of Lidan, and the 'world' is very good!"
"Small hidden in the wild, big hidden in the city"
"Don't talk to me about ancient texts, don't bully me for not understanding. ”
The two of you and I were angry, and seeing that the fight was about to start, Li Hao hurriedly came out of the round: "Okay, okay, the owner of the house is a doctor who likes Taoism and qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, so it's always okay, people have many hobbies and don't break the law, we are not here to discuss this, as for it, let's go to other houses!"
They came to the next room, which was the master's bedroom, and the bedroom, like the other rooms, was simply furnished.
There is a bed and a wardrobe against the wall, and there is a small table under the window, and a guqin is placed on it.
Du Kaiwen and Deng Jiawei quarreled again over whether this qin was a "guzheng" or a "yaoqin", Li Hao and Chen An had to round the field again, in fact, the two of them didn't know what this guqin should be called, they just liked to carry each other, and they just talked for a while.
They looked at the room casually, and Li Hao picked up a half-embroidered embroidery from the bed and said curiously: "Hand-embroidered, it's really rare." ”
The embroidery is only half embroidered, vaguely embroidered is a landscape, in the upper corner also embroidered verses, the craft is very exquisite, but these teenagers are not much interested in this kind of woman's things, casually praised a few words, and put it down casually.
They looked around the bedroom casually and found nothing that interested them.
The owner of this bedroom decorates the room too simply, and there are no cosmetics and daily household appliances commonly used by women.
"But......" Chen An suddenly remembered something, "Li Hao, when did your cousin talk about that case?"
"I don't know, but he's been telling me for more than a month. Li Hao hadn't reacted yet, he asked what he meant.
"Well, then, this house has been unoccupied for at least more than a month, but you can see ......" Chen An wiped his white handkerchief on the table and picked it up for everyone to see, "There is no dust at all, it looks like it has just been cleaned." ”
"Ahh......h......h There's that 'thing'......"
"You idiot!" Deng Jiawei punched him in the head, "Obviously, this is not an uninhabited haunted house. If the owner catches us, we're thieves!"
"Ah, let's go, let's leave quickly, if we are caught, it will be over," Chen An was very nervous when he heard this, "This can be regarded as trespassing on a private house, right? Li Hao, your cousin is a policeman, you said that if we are caught, we will be sentenced to a few years?"
"How many years will the sentence be, even if I don't get sentenced for a year, when I get home, if my father finds out about this, he will beat me to death! Hurry up! Don't rub it off!" Deng Jiawei was the first to rush towards the stairs.
The other three followed him in a panic, trying to get out of here before their master found out.
As soon as they reached the staircase, Du Kaiwen suddenly grabbed Deng Jiawei, who was walking in front of him, and put a finger to his mouth, signaling everyone to keep quiet.
"What's wrong?" Li Hao asked in a low voice.
Du Kaiwen pointed downstairs and replied softly, "Someone." ”
Everyone held their breath and pricked up their ears, and sure enough, there was a gentle footstep movement downstairs.
"It's over, it must be the owner of the house who is back, what should we do? We'll be caught!" Chen An was about to cry in a hurry, and couldn't help but make a sound, Deng Jiawei quickly covered his mouth.
The footsteps below seemed to be coming this way, as if they were going upstairs.
