Chapter 374: The Gambler (20)

Bai Xuanzhi glanced at us, sighed, and said, "If he pawned that jade, it is estimated that we will see his skeleton now." Fortunately, he still understands some crooked ways to save his life. The more I heard this, the more confused I became, and I didn't understand it anymore, "How do you say it?"

"No, I mean the jade on his chest, that's a priceless treasure, you may not understand the jade, rich blue, and so shiny, the jade on Wu Yi's chest is also called lapis lazuli, also known as lapis lazuli, is one of the ancient jade, that is one of the gems that emperors can have, legend has it that in ancient Egypt, this gemstone is comparable to the price of gold, maybe it will be higher than the value of gold, it is called' Holy stone', and this gemstone has a certain improvement in the health of the human body, more importantly, this jade can drive away evil spirits, any ghost can not be close to the person who carries it, so this jade also has a name, the third eye of the Buddha, the positive energy it contains is unpredictable, in short, its priceless title is well-deserved. ”

I was very surprised by what Bai Xuanzhi said, because no one would have expected that a homeless man sleeping under the bridge would carry a priceless jade. When this is said, others probably think that what the speaker said is just a boring joke.

"Then we're going to Silly Qiang's hometown now?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Of course to go, such an important clue. Brother Yang added a sentence back.

"However, after many years, it is a problem whether the house is not there. I said worriedly. The two people next to him nodded repeatedly.

"So we're going to have to take a look. Bai Xuanzhi made a decisive decision.

The three of us walked and talked for a while, until we got into a taxi, and then stopped the conversation. When the driver heard Brother Yang's address, the fear on his face obviously concealed his shock. He refused to drive to the destination we were going to reach, even if Brother Yang paid twice the price, the taxi driver refused our request. In the end, we had no choice but to give in and let him go to another place two alleys away from Silly Qiang's house, and he reluctantly agreed this time.

Actually, what I really cared about was the attitude of the taxi driver, why he was so frightened, as if there was something terrible in that place, we asked him several times, he avoided talking about it, but changed the subject and casually perfunctory us, the more he did this, the more I thought he was suspicious. I looked at the two people next to me, their expressions at the moment were not necessarily good, and they were sad, especially Bai Xuanzhi, who seemed to be in some kind of thinking. The closer he got to his destination, the more frightened the driver's expression became, so much so that layers of delicate cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the sweat slid down his cheeks, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took out a piece of tissue paper from my backpack and handed it over, asking the driver to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He thanked me shyly. A taxi drove along the street, unconsciously driving through a winding and narrow alley, turning a few corners and turning a few more intersections.

Finally shut down the engine in front of a street sign. The car stopped on the left side of the street, we gave the money, got out of the car, maybe I just treated him politely, at this moment the driver felt guilty, just as we turned around, the driver poked his head out and called out to us, "You be careful, although I don't know what you are going to do in that place, but I still remind you to leave before dark, so as not to have an accident." It's a very evil place, be careful!" In our surprised expressions, the taxi turned on the engine, started slowly, and disappeared from our sight in a few moments.

"The driver...... He seems to be very scared, what is he afraid of?" I looked at Bai Xuanzhi, since I was in the car, I had been suppressing my doubts, and now I vomited happily, and my heart was really much smoother.

"I guess there's something wrong with that house, or something in it that is terrifying. Bai Xuanzhi answered my question without thinking.

"I don't believe it, but it may be that some people are pretending to be ghosts, and these unsubstantiated rumors can be heard! Or some people deliberately spread these frightening rumors in order to scare away those with bad intentions. Brother Yang was not afraid at all, but doubled his motivation to go to the house to explore. The way he looks reminds me of someone, and Uncle Zhang seems to be like this at first. I shook my head helplessly, hoping that Brother Yang would stop howling like a pig later.

"Brother Yang, maybe those rumors are not rumors to confuse the public. I tried to change his mind and added. He didn't argue with me, just smiled at me.

"Let's go! Bai Xuanzhi said a word, and walked ahead to lead the way. There was an indescribable sense of suffocation in this place, there was not a single house nearby, only a few moss-covered and dilapidated tiled houses, each of which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, uncared for, and a mess underground.

Our figures disappeared into the streets, like disoriented ships drifting erratically in the fog. What is the secret of that house? Why did the driver look like that? Is it really just gossip? Or is there something terrible in that house? My thoughts are like marquees, hitting bricks in the same place, and I can't make any further progress.

I don't know what will happen in the next second, people are always confused by the unknown, but I can't stop digging into the truth, and I can't predict what will happen to me in the future. That's why fear left my mind blank.

"Bai Xuanzhi, you...... I don't think this place is very wrong, we have walked for so long, and there is not a single pedestrian passing by. This...... It's too weird!" I was a little scared inside, and I had a worried look on my face.

"Don't be afraid, follow me!" Before I could react, Bai Xuanzhi had already held my little hand. The fear I had just stirred up was overshadowed by the blazing heat of his palm. For some reason, Bai Xuanzhi seems to have a very magical power, no matter how uneasy I am, any subtle reassurance from him can calm my nervousness. However, every time I touched him, my heart beat faster and my breath became short. I haven't really understood why I'm in this situation.
