Chapter 184: Don't Laugh II
Huanpei City, but it is on the edge of Qingcha Town.... This made Lu Sheng's heart feel an inexplicable touch. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"This news was sent more than a month ago, that is, this happened, more than a month ago, or even earlier.
And at that time, I was still busy plotting against the owner of the Red Fang...."Lu Sheng tapped the table lightly, and he smelled an unusual smell.
It's rare for a helmsman like this to disappear, even if this world is rampant with demons and ghosts, but a master of the level of the helmsman, even if the general ghost wants to sneak attack, he may not be able to really leave him, and it is still okay to escape if he can't beat him.
Even if you can't escape, you can send a signal for a fireworks alarm. Strange places that are a little more dangerous are marked, and they don't break into them without a word.....
Lu Sheng quickly flipped forward again, and pulled out a piece of letter paper from some of Zhao Jiaojiao's urgent reports.
It is rumored that a mysterious mansion appeared in the mountains, and there were woodcutters and medicine pickers, and those who rumored to have entered did not see it and came out again. It is suspected that it is a new ghost haunt. Be prepared to be tempted. β
Lu Sheng closed his eyes slightly, he had an intuition, as if there was probably some kind of connection between the two.
**************************
Qingcha Town, Tea Gang.
Dong Qi, the leader of the gang, sat in the lobby and fidgeted, holding a cup of green tea in her hand, but she didn't drink a sip.
The urgent news that the deputy gang leader had just reported made her worry all the time.
"Recently, a large number of tea mountain tea trees have withered, and their growth is getting worse and worse, and I can't find any reason, and this year's harvest is afraid to be affected. β
But the specific situation, she also went to see it in person, and she really didn't know what the reason was.
Dong Qi stood up, put the teacup on the table, and in a depressed mood, he walked out of the lobby and went to the courtyard outside to relax and breathe.
"Helper, there is a person outside the door who says that he can help us solve the malaise of the tea tree!" At this time, a gang guard stepped forward and whispered.
Dong Qi was stunned.
This tea tree is sluggish, and she hasn't had time to release the news at all, how did the other party learn about it and find her?
Could it be that there is another mole in the gang?
She hesitated, then nodded.
"Ask him to stay in the living room, and I'll be there. β
"Yes. "The men left.
Dong Qi cleaned up his mood a little, took a few sips of tea, and walked towards the living room.
As soon as she entered, she was immediately attracted by the figure standing in the hall.
It was a slender young scribe with a handsome face, full of confidence and poise, holding a black umbrella in his hand, standing in the middle of the hall, admiring a picture of the sunset hanging on the wall.
"In the lower section of Xishen, I saw the Dong gang leader. The scribe clenched his fists and smiled at her, "I heard that the tea mountain was withering, and Xi Shen was confident, so he recommended himself to the door, hoping that Dong Gang Master would not be surprised." β
"Where, where!" Dong Qi smiled, "Mr. is as wise as a torch, if he really has the ability, the contempt will be rewarded." β
"You're gracious. Duan Xi said with a deep smile. Suddenly, he seemed to ask casually. "Speaking of which, this tea gang headquarters seems to be a little gloomy, I heard that it was haunted a while ago?"
Dong Qi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.
"Where there is any haunting, it is nothing more than some dirty affairs within the gang..."
"Really?" Duan Xishen showed a hint of curiosity. "Can you tell me about it? β
Dong Qi's eyes were reluctant to leave him, but he felt that listening to him, his heart was warm and comfortable, which made people inadvertently want to meet the other party's request.
"It's all in the past, but since you want to hear it, I'll tell you. β
...................
Remote mountains.
The rumbling thunder rolled, the rain poured down, and the black mountains and forests were swayed by the wind and rain.
Ouch... Ouch....!
Under a dark slope in the mountains, Zhang Wulang lay in a ravine and moaned, the rain mixed with muddy water soaking his lower body.
When his legs rolled down the slope, they were already covered with blood, and at this time, they were soaked in muddy water and sewage, and they were even more painful and swollen.
At this time, I reached out and touched it, and the skin of my legs and feet was a little numb.
"It's bad, you have to get up quickly, and if you lie here again, I'm afraid that even your life will not be guaranteed!" He struggled to get up, and he accidentally missed the best time to go back because he had hit the back of his head.
At this time, the rain was heavy and thundering, the mountains and forests were dark, and the road was almost invisible. Everywhere there were hand-cutting shrubs and thick trunks.
It's hard to find your way home.
"I can't stay here, I have shed so much blood before, it is inevitable that it will not attract wild beasts..."Zhang Wulang has been collecting medicine and hunting in the mountains all year round, and he is very experienced in this area.
He slowly got up, limped out of the slope ravine, and looked left and right, trying to see the way back by the electric light that crossed from time to time.
But he fell down the hill all at once, and he was no longer on the road he usually walked. Coupled with wind, rain, thunder and lightning, it is dark in the middle of the night, and in this harsh environment, it is difficult to find a way back.
But he knew that if he didn't persevere, in this deep mountain wilderness, he was afraid that he wouldn't survive one night, and he would be frozen to death tomorrow.
The temperature in the north is not high, and now it is autumn and winter, and the temperature is even lower, Zhang Wulang only woke up not long ago, and he felt cold and shivering, and some parts of the body, even as long as he stopped moving, he might cramp and stiffen.
"Anyone?" he tried to scream.
But the wind and rain were combined, and the strange whining sound was mixed with thunder, and his voice could not be heard far at all.
Zhang Wulang had no choice but to drag his tired body and try to find a place with more shade to hide, but he avoided the rain, and the cold wind blew on the wet body, and it was still freezing enough.
Walking in the forest, he suddenly looked up and saw a little white light in front of him.
"Light?," Zhang Wulang was overjoyed, and immediately hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed towards the place where the light came through.
Click.
Lightning streaked by, turning the heavens and the earth pale for a moment.
Zhang Wulang dragged his tired body with difficulty, and finally walked out of the sheltered forest and came to the bright front.
What appeared in front of him was a dilapidated mountain village. Stone houses sit on a black ground like old tree bark.
At a glance, the white light came out of a large stone house at the entrance of the mountain village.
The stone house was on a higher position, a cut above the others, and the entrance to the gate was connected by a sloping stone staircase to the left.
Zhang Wulang swallowed his saliva, and in the ecstasy in his heart, he accelerated his speed even more and walked towards the light.
In such a deep mountain, you can still encounter people, which is simply a great luck.
"Excuse me!? excuse me!!" he cried out, and soon walked to the stone steps of the stone house.
The stone houses in this village were all dark, but this one was lit up, and it happened to be close to the entrance of the village, so he simply went straight here.
"Excuse me! anyone??" didn't hear an answer, Zhang Wulang shouted again.
He climbed up the stone steps with difficulty, and finally came to the wooden door of the stone house.
Knock knock.
He knocked the door.
With a squeak, the wooden door was not closed, and he knocked it open.
Zhang Wulang sighed in his heart, in such a dangerous deep mountain, it is not normal to not close the door in the middle of the night!
You must know that there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, and if you don't close the door at night, if you attract jackals, tigers and leopards, it will be a life-threatening disaster.
But now that there is a thunderstorm and hunger and cold, he can't think too much.
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Wulang pushed the door and walked in.
Behind the gate is a spacious courtyard, and further inside, directly in front of the door, is a main hall with a white light. Through the window paper, you can see that there seems to be someone sitting there.
Zhang Wulang suddenly came to hope.
Maybe the host was careless and forgot to close the door. And my previous shouting may also be that the thunderstorm was too loud to be heard at all. β
He closed the door with his backhand and limped towards the main hall.
"Help!!, anyone??" He felt the pain in his body getting more and more, and quickly shouted.
But the rolling thunder rang out again just at this time, completely overpowering his shouts.
Zhang Wulang had no choice but to walk quickly towards the main hall.
Walking under the eaves in one breath, most of the wind and rain were blocked by the stone house, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My name is Zhang Wulang, I accidentally slipped and fell in the mountains at night, and I am in a coma until now, and I hope that the master's family can let me stay for one night, and I will definitely repay in the future!" he shouted loudly into the main hall.
Outside the white papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, you can clearly see a person sitting inside.
In the middle of the main hall, the man's shadow was reflected in the light of the window, and he sat motionless, as if asleep.
"Anyone? Help!"
"Help!!"
"Master, help!"
Zhang Wulang shouted again and again, banging on the door.
But there was no sound at all.
He suddenly became a little frightened.
"Is it difficult, is it possible, I have met a ghost!?" Zhang Wulang's face slowly turned pale and became a little uneasy.
That's when it happened.
Squeak...
The door opened.
Zhang Wulang was overjoyed, hurriedly walked over, and stepped into the door.
The inside of the main hall is brightly lit and warm like spring, and the interior of the house is also very exquisite, completely different from the rough stone house outside.
The wooden furniture, tables and chairs are also carved with patterns. There are some unknown strange ornaments hanging on the wall, and in the middle of the main hall, a middle-aged man sits at the end.
A chubby, expressionless middle-aged man.
"Tell a joke. The man spoke suddenly.
Zhang Wulang was stunned for a moment, standing at the door and not reacting.
"What....?" he looked at the other man, wondering if he had misheard. "My name is Zhang Wulang, and I am a medicine picker from a nearby house, because I accidentally fell down the slope and was in a coma until now, and I can't go home, so I have to come here for help. Hopefully...."
"Tell a joke. β
The middle-aged man said it again.
This time Zhang Wulang heard clearly, and he felt that something was wrong. Looking around, there was no one else in the main hall except this man.
In the middle of the night, this man sat alone in the main hall where he entertained guests, motionless, expressionless, and felt a little weird.
"I.... I.... Won't tell jokes .... I'm sorry...."Zhang Wulang felt a chill in his heart, and his legs and feet began to tremble faintly.
"Tell a joke. β
The third time, the man's eerie and calm voice sounded again.
Zhang Wulang was a little broken, and he fell backwards, trying to back out the door.
"I ..... I...."His sweat was oozing out in large drops, and his breathing began to be rapid and disordered.
Boom!!
Suddenly, the door slammed shut shut.
The lights in the main hall suddenly went out, and everything fell into darkness.
I don't know how long it took.
The dark hall was lit up again, and everything was calm again.
A figure sitting upright on the main seat, reflected by the light on the window paper, motionless.
Other than that, there was no second person in the house.
"Help.... Help!!" Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the stone house.
A victim covered in mud and water stumbled into the courtyard, and when he saw the main hall with the lights on, he was overjoyed and hurried over.
Squeak...
The wooden door opened and closed.
"Tell a joke. The voice came out the window again.
