Chapter 17: The Murderous Mansion (1)

"The little girl just loves to be clean, this deserted house is definitely not as good as the Intercontinental Hotel, you can only go out for a while, it is estimated that there will be a little spider web at most, and then a little mouse, wild cat, weasel or something, it doesn't matter, the fat brother will help you clean up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Chubby laughed from the side.

I know Chubby is joking, he has always been the most generous, no matter what he encounters, he doesn't care, of course Chubby knows what Amei means by "unclean things", so he just comforts everyone to avoid everyone being nervous.

Uncle Hai heard Amei say that there were unclean things in the courtyard and refused to go in again, Lao Zhang also took the fart, saying that it was better to be careful, and to go in and let a few young people go in, and he accompanied Uncle Hai to find a place to spend the night.

Although I don't believe much in the fact that Amei can see unclean things, I have to be more careful everywhere when I go out, and I would rather believe it or not, although Zhang Meng didn't believe in evil before, but after experiencing the incident of Jinsong Vocational High School, I couldn't help but be a little "superstitious", so Zhang Meng and I also hesitated.

Seeing this, Xiaopang deliberately said: "I said all the old and young masters, just how dare you are so young and looking for the ancient city of the sun, a small house is scared like this, you really have to be scared to pee when you really go to the ancient city, the ancient city has gone through thousands of years, it must be full of lonely ghosts and wild ghosts, maybe there are thousands of years old demons, foxes, monsters and snake spirits, if you want me to say just go back to the house now." Uncle Hai, when you were young, you were also a powerful figure, an idol level, a five-body throw that our younger generations admire, and regard you as a benchmark and model, although you are a few years old now, but in my little fat mind, you are still young, and you are still majestic. Could it be that you are also frightened by this little house? I don't believe it. Even a junior like me Xiaopang doesn't care, do you still care about this? As the saying goes, the prince is here, the gods abdicate, just your old aura, go inside. Even if there's anything unclean, it's already been soft and slipped, don't you say?"

Xiaopang can really be white, a flattery and agitation, Uncle Hai really eats him, coughed dryly twice, and said with a white beard like a seal: "I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid to scare the child when I see Amei like this, the girl is timid, I'm afraid that she won't sleep well at night when she lives in it." Since everyone is willing to settle here, then the minority can only obey the majority. After speaking, he turned his head to Amei and said, "Amei, with Uncle Hai here, there's nothing to be afraid of, let's stay here for the night tonight." ”

I laughed in my heart, this Uncle Hai really wanted to save face, obviously he was afraid. also pushed it to the child, and Xiaopang also found the key point. can always make Uncle Hai comply.

Uncle Hai first asked Xiangzi to go in and check it out, and Xiangzi came back and said that the house was empty, there was nothing, and the house was still sturdy, and there was no problem with the residents.

Uncle Hai said "um" and asked Xiangzi to lead the way in front. Stepping into the house, although Amei was scared, she saw Uncle Hai entering, and followed Uncle Hai into the house. Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment and followed in.

Chubby grimaced at us. said "let's go" and took me and Zhang Meng into the house.

This house is really not small, the Islamic-style courtyard is different from the courtyard, there is no depth, just a large courtyard, the rooms are all around, and there are more than 30 rooms around the courtyard of this house. There is a well in the middle of the courtyard, the mouth of the well is very small, there is no edge of the well, but it is piled up with stones around, and there is a gap in the middle for entering and exiting, which is probably the famous karez well in Xinjiang, and the locals call it "karez".

We picked a room that was not very dilapidated, cleaned it up, and prepared to spend the night here tonight, to see that the sun was still early, and there was still a period of time before it got dark, and after a discussion, Zhang Meng and I went to the street to see if we could find someone who could speak Chinese, and by the way I bought something, Uncle Hai, Lao Zhang, Ah Mei stayed to rest, Xiangzi naturally had to stay by Uncle Hai's side to protect Uncle Hai, Xiao Pang was going to go to the street with us, but Uncle Hai had to leave him behind, saying that he was talking to Xiao Pang, and let him accompany him to chat, in fact, we all know that Uncle Hai pretended not to care on the surface, but actually said to Ah Mei that there are unclean things in this house or have lingering palpitations, he knows that among the few of us, Xiao Pang is the strongest in terms of experience and skills, leaving him plus Xiangzi, even if he encounters any situation, he can deal with it. Although Xiaopang was a little unhappy, he still stayed, after all, Uncle Hai was our "patron" of this trip.

Zhang Meng and I left the house and walked back to the village along the way we came.

Natenremu belongs to Ganzi County, because the traffic in this place is very inconvenient, and it is located on the edge of the desert, the products are not very rich, and it is a poor county, and the per capita annual income is very low.

We walked around the village, and the villagers saw that we were all far away, and some of the villagers who were chatting at the door saw us pointing and pointing, as if they were talking about something. We tried to go up and talk to some of the villagers, but before we could get close, the villagers avoided them, as if they were very repulsive to outsiders.

We finally found a place that looked like a commissary, and just wanted to go in to buy something, but the owner of the room quickly closed the door and turned us away. I knocked on the door, and the people inside ignored us.

"Come on, Dongzi, you see that this commissary is so broken, it is estimated that you can't buy anything, and if you go forward, go back. Fortunately, we can save some water and food and last for a day or two, and we can buy them when we return to Urumqi. People in this place are so shy, I don't think it's very difficult to talk to people who know Chinese, let's go back to Beijing first, think about it again, and make more preparations before coming. Zhang Meng said.

"That's all there is to it. I sighed helplessly.

Zhang Meng and I walked forward for a while, we were almost out of the village, and found that there was a relatively large house in the west of the village, and there was a plaque hanging outside the house, the words on the plaque were Xinjiang characters, I don't know what was written, but from the things placed outside the house, it should be a store, and this store is not like the commissary we saw before, the scale is much larger than the commissary, and it is not as tattered as the commissary, the most important thing is that there are a few boxes of mineral water outside the store. Beer or something, mineral water is actually Nongfu Spring, it is not easy to see these goods in such a closed place, it seems that this store is basically equivalent to the feeling of an outlet in Beijing in the local area.

Zhang Meng and I walked towards the store. I don't know if the owner of the shop didn't see us or didn't mean to turn us away, but we didn't close the door like the previous commissary when we passed, and we stepped into the store.

The inside of the store is relatively clean and tidy, and the shelves and counters are filled with a variety of goods, including daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar produced locally, as well as daily necessities such as brooms, soaps, and cigarettes. On the shelves on the right side of the store are some foreign goods, including mineral water, instant noodles, ham sausages, eight-treasure porridge, snacks and so on, which are already considered luxuries in such a poor place.

The salesman at the counter was an old man, about sixty or seventy years old, with a goatee and a very thin man, and he seemed to be a little surprised when he saw us, but he was not afraid.

Zhang Meng gestured at the old man and said, "Ours - I want to buy - something - yours." Is that okay?"

As soon as I heard it, damn, we have entered the village as devils, and Zhang Meng is funny enough.

The old man glanced at Zhang Meng coldly and did not speak.

Zhang Meng estimated that the old man didn't understand what he said, and continued: "Ours - we buy things - our big money - that - and that" said and pointed to mineral water and instant noodles, "Ours - all of them." ”

The old man still didn't speak, and Zhang Meng was a little anxious. With his hands, he was dumb and gestured for a long time.

"Nongfu Spring is a five-day bottle. Five pieces of instant noodles and six pieces of Master Kong. The old man said coldly.

Damn, it turns out that this old man can speak Chinese.

"Damn, it turns out that you know Chinese. Zhang Meng said in surprise.

Zhang Meng and I glanced at each other, and we were overjoyed to finally find someone who could speak Chinese.

"Uncle. Where are you from? Not a local, right? How many years have you been here? It's not easy to meet someone who can speak Chinese. Zhang Meng accosted and said.

"We're from out of town, we want to go into the desert, we plan to buy some supplies, and we finally met someone who can speak Chinese, can you do me a favor?" I said next to me.

But the old man had a cold attitude. He shook his head, as if he didn't want to say anything other than buy something from his store.

Since people are not willing to help, we can't help it, Zhang Meng and I were a little disappointed, bought some mineral water, instant noodles and the like, paid the money, and left the store stupidly.

We went back to the house where we were temporarily staying, saw Xiaopang and Uncle Hai, and told them about the meeting with the old man in the store. ”

I know that Xiaopang has the most ideas, and he can speak better than Zhang Meng, he went to tell the old man that maybe he could really succeed, so let Xiaopang go to discuss with the old man again, Lao Zhang is old, and he is quite able to be white, and he is good to talk to older people, and he also follows Xiaopang to go over, and the others are waiting to listen.

I told Fat and Zhang about the general location of the store, and Fat and Zhang went straight to the store, ready to persuade the old man to help us.

Chubby and Lao Zhang went for a longer time than me and Zhang Meng, and it took more than an hour to come back.

"How is it?, Fat Commander, is this trip done?" asked Zhang Meng.

"Grandma's—this old man's is not easy to deal with—Taijun's—it's really not broken—mine, and the old man's—the skin of his mouth is thin—and he still hasn't been convinced. ”

As soon as I heard it, this time it was really no fun, Xiaopang and Lao Zhang didn't say anything about moving the old man, I'm afraid no one in the world can say that it moves.

After this toss, it was completely dark, we cooked some instant noodles, on the ham sausage, Uncle Hai and Zhang Meng paid great attention to maintenance, did not eat instant noodles, ate some eight-treasure porridge and dry food, after dinner, chatted for a while, discussed what to do next, and discussed for a long time without a unified opinion.

Because of the trekking along the way, they were a little tired, everyone prepared their sleeping bags, Xiangzi and Amei helped Uncle Hai clean up, Uncle Hai has the habit of smoking hookah, Xiangzi and Amei served Uncle Hai to smoke a hookah for a while, after a while, Uncle Hai grunted up, and Amei went to sleep after packing up the hookah.

Lao Zhang and Xiaopang went outside to smoke a cigarette and came back to sleep. According to the agreement, Xiangzi, I, Xiaopang, and Zhang Meng took turns to be on duty at night, Xiangzi guarded the first shift first, and Zhang Meng and I also slept first in the sleeping bag, and I fell asleep as soon as I got into the sleeping bag.

It felt like it was just a kung fu with my eyes closed, I didn't even have a dream, someone shook me, I struggled to open my eyes, and it took me a long time to see clearly, it was Xiangzi, it turned out that I was on duty for the night, I looked at my watch, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
