"House?" Bai Che was the first to ask, "Is there anyone living here?"

Bai Xiu shook his head lightly: "No, it's an empty house." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Fang Jin made up his mind: "Let's go over and have a look first." ”

He took the lead in the lead, and soon a path barely accessible to people was carved out with his marrow blade, and a small two-story building appeared not far away.

I don't know if it was left unused for too long, or if the house was built among many trees, and there was almost no gap between it and the woods, as if a big mushroom had grown in the woods.

Fang Jin found the entrance to the building, cut open the thorny bushes nearby, and finally saw a rusty door, he pushed it with the help of the pith blade sword, but he didn't expect it to creak a few times to really open.

Bai Che proposed: "Go in and have a look?"

Fang Ling glanced at everyone and nodded: "Let's go in, I don't know when I will be able to go out, it won't be long before it gets dark, this house is a little broken, it's better to sleep in the mountains, let's just spend the night here." ”

She motioned to Fang Jin, who took out a flashlight from his backpack and turned it on, and then walked in—I don't know if it was because the light in the mountains was too dark, or if the living room was not open and the windows were not opened, and it was dark inside.

When he took a flashlight like this, he was stunned at first, and the others didn't know why, Bai Liang kept urging him: "What's the matter?

At this time, Fang Jin's expression was even more strange than Bai Xiu's just now, he pushed open the door and let the others to the door: "It's so new here......"

The others followed the light of his flashlight, and they were all stunned, only to see that the floor was shiny, the walls were white, and the furniture was not only complete, but also new, as if this was a newly renovated villa that had welcomed its first residents.

Bai Che's eyes were the sharpest, and he immediately found that there was a light switch at the entrance, and he pressed it lightly, and the snow-white fluorescent lamp light was sprinkled like this, illuminating the huge living room.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look, there's still food on the table!"

Fang Jin and Fang Ling glanced at each other, and the two said in unison, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

A group of mermaids rushed in, and it was strange to say that the house looked small from the outside, but it didn't feel crowded when it went inside.

Bai Che walked to the dining table and took a deep breath: "Yo, the food that has just been cooked is still steaming...... It smells so good!"

He looked around again, and suddenly sighed, "Brother, do you remember the story of the candy house I told you when I was a child?"

Bai Xiu was stunned, Fang Xin had already reacted, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes: "Is there really a candy house in the world?!"

Seeing the others, she told the story that many children were familiar with: "Legend has it that someone got lost in the forest, and finally came to a candy cake hut, which was full of delicacies, and he couldn't wait to eat it when he was so hungry that he couldn't wait to eat it."

But they didn't know that the owner of the candy house was a man-eating witch, and she made the candy house trap in order to fatten the people in the candy house so that they could eat him......"

Bai Che smiled: "Is it the same as our current situation?"

"Funny, it's just a fairy tale......" Bai Liang couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Besides, this place is not far from the wine brewing well, maybe someone lives there, and these meals are left by them when they go out temporarily." ”

"Unlikely. Fang Jin frowned, "The mud at the door is very deep, no one has been out here for at least one or two decades, if there are always people living inside, they can only enter and exit through the window." ”

A few people were pondering, but unexpectedly, one of the people in the team was trembling and holding on to the dining table and vomiting, it was the young man named Lao Song, An Yun hurriedly supported him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lao Song pointed to one of the dishes on the table, and hissed: "Hands, fingers, Wei Bing's fingers!"

They were taken aback by him, and hurriedly looked in the direction he was pointing, and the next moment even the most tenacious Fang Ling began to retch, not to mention the already timid Fang Xin.

Bai Xiu's expression froze, and when she walked over to take a look, her heart couldn't help jumping.

There was a plate of braised phoenix feet on the table, and among the red and shiny chicken feet, a blackened finger became more and more dazzling, and there was a ring on that finger, and Lao Song probably recognized it as Wei Bing's finger.

He stared at this steaming "delicacy", and his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately took the chopsticks on the side of the plate and rummaged through the plate next door, and there was indeed a layer of something very similar to a dry roasted eel under the thick green and red peppers.

"Damn, who the made all the corpse worms into dishes!" Bai Che couldn't help but feel a wave of discomfort rolling in his stomach.

Fang Jin understood: "It seems that this is not a fairy tale, but someone deliberately put these 'dishes' here to scare us, and he was even in the house when we came in." ”

Fang Ling's face was extremely ugly, and he said astringently: "We didn't provoke anyone in Jiuzhujing Village, could it be that someone from another family sect did it?"

Bai Xiu's first thought was Fang Xuanjian, this person loves to play pranks, even if the matter of human life is just a joke in her opinion.

But the next second he denied this speculation.

Not to mention their grievances, she and the people of the Fang family had only shared hardships not long ago, and she also loved Fang Ling's juniors, even if she was determined to succeed in the robbery, she would not play Fang Ling and them like this.

Fang Jin looked at the fainter and fainter light outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who is doing ghosts, as long as his goal is not achieved, he will definitely come back, and we will keep a night here tonight." ”

"No!" Bai Liang hurriedly objected, "This place is too weird, I can't stay for a minute, no matter what you plan, I will never stay!"

He turned around and was about to walk out, Bai Che folded his arms and smiled: "Lao Tie, if you want to die, no one will stop you." ”

Bai Liang glared back at him: "What do you mean?!"

The bright smile on Bai Che's face did not decrease, and his next words were not only to Bai Liang, but also to everyone: "You haven't read detective novels? One of the most classic modes in detective novels is the Blizzard Mountain Villa mode.

A group of people gathered in a relatively closed environment, and due to special circumstances, they could not get in touch with the outside world, and everyone could not leave this environment for the time being...... Do you think it's like what we're in now?

And as the story continues, some of these people will surely die, and the first to die is someone like him who recklessly breaks away from the team. ”

"Hmph, nonsense, how can the logic of ordinary people be applied to cultivators!" Bai Liang scoffed, "Even if I really lose my life, it is my own choice, no one else's fault." ”

Seeing that he was determined to leave, Bai Che spread his hands regretfully towards Bai Xiu.

"The murderer may be hiding outside, and since he can do it all quietly in front of us, then his strength should not be underestimated. ”

Bai Xiu had to persuade Bai Liang personally, "We still have a chance to expose him when we are in a group, once we act separately, the strength of the team will be reduced, and in the end we can only be 'divided and broken' by him." ”

I don't know if Bai Xiu's attitude gave him the stairs, or if he really had this concern, Bai Liang suddenly slowed down.

An Yun is also a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and also said: "In this way, let's go upstairs first, and the others will rest in place, if there is anything else to discover, it will not be too late for us to make plans." ”

The others naturally had no opinion, and a few people were led by Fang Jin and went up to the second floor carefully.

The second floor of the building consists of five rooms, one on the left, three in the middle, and one on the right, connected by a corridor.

Because the rooms were large enough, they didn't check them separately, but got into the leftmost one together.

However, to everyone's surprise, there was nothing inside.

That's right, in a place of dozens of square meters, not to mention that the furniture doesn't even have a lamp, a window opens in the center of the innermost wall, as if a huge mouth spits out a faint sunset and illuminates the whole room.

An Yun raised his eyes and made an instant discovery, he pointed to the location by the window: "There seem to be footprints there!"

Bai Xiu's mind changed, he leaned against the wall and went around to the window, only glanced at it, he was stunned, Bai Che knew him best, and couldn't help but be curious: "What is it, why are you scared?"

He followed Bai Xiu and walked over to take a look, his expression also changed, he finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly turned around and shouted at Fang Ling and the others: "Am I mistaken, this, this seems to be the footprints of pine needles!"

Before Fang Jin and An Yun could react, a trace of horror flashed on Fang Ling and Fang Xin's faces, but Bai Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said the impossible possibility: "It turned out that this kid did the ghost, we misunderstood Bai Xiu!"

They were instantly appeased by his words, but Fang Jin noticed their abnormality and asked, "Didn't the pine needles go home, did you guys hide something from us?"

Seeing that the matter could no longer be hidden, Fang Ling told the previous story one by one, and finally snorted a little angrily: "We were deceived by him, and he didn't die at all." ”

Fang Jin couldn't help but look at Bai Xiu: "He really committed suicide at that time?"

Bai Xiu nodded, and was very sure of this answer in his heart, the pine needle not only committed suicide, but also died thoroughly, and there was no possibility of resurrection.

But what's going on with this step?

He looked again at the footprints under the window, which were not large, even smaller than the female ones, indicating that their owner was a half-grown child.

These footprints were stepped on barefoot, and the hind foot was left with dense and slight marks from the bloody scabs on the soles of the feet—all the details suggest that they were left by pine needles.

Bai Xiu speculated about many possibilities, whether the pine needle was cheating on death, or if he really deceived the corpse, or if someone had forged these footprints in an attempt to lead their suspicions to the child?

There are no answers to all the questions, and it is only up to us to see if we can lure out the perpetrators of this prank tonight.

They went to check the other rooms, but unfortunately there were no other clues.

After discussing matters related to pacifying the other members of the team, they went downstairs, and finally Fang Ling announced her plan: "Ah Jin and I have found a way to get out of this forest, let's rest here for one night today and set off tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone rejoiced, and each found a place to set up a tent, and they did not move the things on the table, nor did they use the kitchen on the first floor, but buried the pot in the living room to cook.

Night is falling.

Before going to bed, Fang Ling specially instructed several disciples to check whether the doors and windows were closed, and after receiving a positive answer, she breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and smiled at Bai Xiu and the others: "Three, go and rest first, just leave the vigil to us." ”

Bai Xiu nodded and got into his tent, Bai Che followed him and complained: "This Nizi really treats us as guests, what about the good cooperation?"

Bai Xiu persuaded: "Anyway, we are not interested in the things in the post-calamity world, so let's ask them to fight." ”

Bai Che shook his head when he heard this, and said: "You're right, just as the so-called sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, we will hide behind them and catch a handful in a hurry!"

Bai Xiu knew that his second brother had such a temper and liked to talk about it, so he stopped talking.

As a result, as soon as he got into the sleeping bag, Bai Che muttered mysteriously: "Today's events are so weird, do you think there will be a ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night or something? Whether it's a novel or a movie, isn't it all this routine?"

"Sleep, I don't know when I'll be able to rest tomorrow. Bai Xiu urged, as soon as he heard this kind of crazy flag, he had a little headache, and as a result, after tossing and turning for an hour or two, he found that he had insomnia.
