Chapter 3: Ancient Mansions, Ancient Mansions
The old man walked slowly and said, "Forget what's wrong? Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
However, at this time, Zou Kun was in a hurry to go to the house to see it, and he did not hear what the old man said, he quickly ran into a path, which became narrower and narrower, and finally saw an ancient house by the river.
When Zou Kun stood in front of the gate of this mansion that seemed a little too old, the first word that came to mind was that the ancient mansion was panicked, and this mansion was definitely more than enough to make horror movies from the outside.
Its exterior glows a little cyan in the moonlight, and it is roughly one meter eight meters high. The gate is two meters wide and three meters high. Isn't it built such a tall gatehouse? Zou Kun thought to himself.
The plaque on the gatehouse was empty, Zou Kun looked at it carefully, it should have been no words at the beginning, not polished out later.
The biggest difference between this and the house I just saw is that the gate is open, a pair of vermilion gates are opened, and in front of it is a gable wall blocking the view from behind.
Zou Kun excitedly crossed the threshold and walked towards the gable.
On the gable wall is painted the appearance of a castle, which seems to be very old, and it is not clear which dynasty building it is. There is a moat outside the castle, and above the river is a golden water bridge.
There are three words written on the plaque in the city, but it is just an ancient seal, and Zou Kun didn't recognize it after looking at it for a long time.
From the gable, there is a large courtyard in front of me, and on either side are two rows of low huts, probably for the people to live in ancient times. The ground is very clean, clean makes Zou Kun feel weird, isn't this place uninhabited? How could it be cleaned so clean.
Towards the front, there is a circular doorway, and when you walk in, there is a small two-story building arranged in the shape of a curved ruler.
Although these two small buildings are very beautifully built, why use such a tall gatehouse in such a large place? The entire area here is only three or four hundred square meters, right?
Zou Kun was very interested in this miniature version of the ancient mansion and looked around.
Most of the walls are made of stone, and some of the beams are made of stone. There was no furniture left in the room on the first floor, just an empty three-piece house.
Zou Kun went upstairs and opened the door of the middle room, stunned.
There is a bed inside the door, and it is a very beautiful ancient box bed, this bed he has seen in the antique market, at least more than 100,000 yuan, and now Zou Kun feels like he is standing in front of more than 100,000 yuan.
Why is there only one bed in the whole house? And the family didn't move the bed when they moved out? Zou Kun really couldn't figure it out.
There was a window on the wall next to the bed, and from the window you could faintly see some mountains and a river.
Zou Kun admired the bed again, the bed was blocked by carved wooden planks all around, and there were three small partitions in front of it, the first partition was for shoes, and the second partition had two small tables on both sides, which could be used to put tea.
Zou Kun liked this bed very much, and hurriedly laid out the sleeping bag and began to sleep contentedly, and when he lowered his head, he frowned: "Why is it so clean? ”
Although Zou Kun is the apprentice of Dr. Huang, who is called a charlatan by his girlfriend, and Dr. Huang likes the Five Elements Feng Shui, Zou Kun really doesn't believe in evil, and he fell asleep happily without thinking too much.
At night, red tulle began to slowly grow on the walls of Zhou Kun's house, and soon the room was filled with ancient furniture, as if traveling to the boudoir of an ancient lady.
A woman walked in from outside the door, wearing a small belly pocket with a peony flower embroidered on it. Her beautiful hair was spread out and draped over her back, covering almost her entire back.
The flawless long legs, wrapped in a translucent gauze scarf, slowly walked in.
When she saw Zou Kun on the bed, she showed a small tiger tooth: "Hehe, there is something delicious again." ”
At this time, a little girl appeared in the window: "Forget it, you can't move him." He ate the hand of the Lady of the Underworld. ”
The woman who walked in from outside the door opened her mouth wide: "What? How could he afford to buy Granny Hades's hand?"
The little girl nodded: "Although I don't know what he gave to Granny Hades, it's enough for him to eat a bowl of shoushou anyway." ”
The woman stomped her foot, turned her head and walked out, and the room was instantly restored to its original state.
The little girl looked at Zou Kun who was shrunk in his sleeping bag: "Since you want to go to Luolong Village so much, then I will help you." ”
With that, the little girl jumped in through the window, and landed on the ground without any sound, and her whole body was covered in a mist of water, which never left her body, like armor to protect her.
The girl came to Zou Kun and drew a circle on his head: "Last night's rain, tonight's wind, wake up one day and be empty." Dream tapir goes, dream tapir goes, and you remember in your sleep. ”
I saw that the mist on the girl's body began to disperse a layer and shone on Zou Kun's face. The girl smiled: "Tomorrow, you will know where to go." With that, the mist began to swell into a circle, wrapped the child, and floated out the window.
At this time, Zou Kun was in a dream and saw that Zou Qian, who looked very similar to himself in the photo, and his name was only one word apart, got on a boat. Zou Qian stood at the stern of the boat, and an old man held his hand: "Zou Gan, you have to study hard." ”
"Got it, grandma. ”
The two didn't say much, and the boat began to swim upstream.
Zou Qian sat in the cabin, there were already nine children in it, and those children didn't seem to know Zou Gan, and they were chatting with each other. Zou Qian didn't pay much attention to it, and found a place to sit down alone and look at the scenery outside.
Outside the boat are two rows of apricot trees, the flowers are very beautiful, and it takes more than ten minutes to complete this apricot forest. But when the apricot grove was opened, suddenly a strong wind blew on the water, and the words sounded in my ears: "You can't leave here, no one can leave here, and those who leave die." ”
Then the boat capsized, and the man named Zou Gan struggled desperately in the water, and was about to sink, when suddenly a person like Zou Qian swam over and said to Zou Gan: "Remember to help me see the moon in Chang'an." ”
After finishing speaking, the man who looked exactly like Zou Qian stabbed a fierce man and swam into the water.
Just after he went into the water, the wind and waves suddenly began to calm down, Zou Qian hugged a plank and went down the river, and was soon rescued by a boat.
After the boss of the boat gave Zou Qian a clean set of clothes to change into, he sent him to a dock, and there was a man standing on the pier, and after the man saw Zou Gan, he saw him and said, "You are Zou Kun, I'll pick you up." Zou Qian nodded silently. When the man reached out to pull him, a whistle sounded behind him.
At this moment, Zou Kun suddenly woke up, because there was a whistle sound outside the window that was exactly the same as in his dream.
He hurried out the window, which was facing a pier where several stone boats were blowing their whistles. The dock looked unusually familiar, just like the scene in the dream.
Zou Kun stood by the window and looked at the dock, thinking about the plot in the dream; when he was thinking, he turned his head to look at the bed he slept on last night, and couldn't help frowning, how could the bed be made of stone?
The shape of the bed hadn't changed at all, but I vaguely remembered that it was made of wood last night, but now it looks like it's made of stone.
Zou Kun scratched his head, could it be that he was too excited last night and read the wrong material? No wonder he didn't move it, how could such a large stone bed be moved.
Zou Kun didn't think too much, but put away the sleeping bag, walked out with a backpack, and after taking a wild shot of the entire courtyard, he took pictures of the patterns on the gable and left the ancient house.
The sky outside was already bright, and there was a path next to the old house, and Zou Kun went down the path to a flat dam where only a few boatmen and workers were working.
Zou Kun was stunned, he seemed to vaguely remember that he was taken away from here, the familiar whistle, and the wet street next to him, as if he had been here before.
He looked closely and saw that the water was running through the pier in a U-shape. So he came to a sailor: "Master, let me ask, is there a place called Luolong in the upper reaches of here?"
The sailor didn't look at him, shook his head and continued smoking: "No." ”
"Is there a place where there are several miles of apricot trees?" asked Zou Kun without giving up.
The sailor raised his head and looked at Zou Kun: "You baby is really weird, we have never produced apricots here, where did the apricot grove come from?"
After Zou Kun saw that he didn't ask anything, he remembered the old woman's words and wanted to go back, but after coming to this point, he really didn't want to give up like this.
"Master, is there a boat here to go upstream?"
The sailor shook his head: "The people upstream have all moved away, and there is no boat to go." ”
Originally, I wanted to spend money to hire a boatman to go, but in the current situation, it seems that there is no private ferry here at all, and Zou Kun looked at the water with a headache and didn't know what to do.
Just when he was at a loss, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "Little brother, are you going upstream?"
Zou Kun looked back, and the thin man was standing behind him, the man was really as thin as a horse pole, tall and tall, and his eyes were as bright as an eagle.
Behind him stood two people, a man and a woman. The man's figure is unusually burly, and he is also wearing a sports vest made of tight material, which outlines his strong chest muscles. The biceps femoris muscles are held in front of the chest as if carved out of marble. Wearing a pair of sunglasses, his face is expressionless.
The female is a lot more eye-catching, about 1.7 meters tall, and her long hair is tied up in a shawl. It seems that he has a charming smile on his face all the time.
Although the clothes on the body are very loose, it is easy to see that the figure must be very material. A pair of hiking boots on a slender beautiful leg stands with his legs crossed.
A beautiful woman with two strange men? What kind of plot is this? Zou Kun thought to himself.
Listening to the accent, I knew that this person was not a local, and suddenly remembered, the fat driver said that seven or eight people had chartered a car to come to this place, could it be that these people were going upstream?
But if you think about it, there have been a lot of coincidences recently.
Zou Kun smiled: "Yes, big brother is going too, but there seems to be no transportation." ”
The man on the pole smiled: "We have a boat, you can come to the dock to find us this evening." We'll drop by and take you there. ”
Take me there? Zhou Kun thought about it and felt strange, do you know where I'm going? Besides, I don't know where you're going? Haven't all the people in the upper reaches moved away?
However, according to the current situation, there is indeed no better way, it is better to go with them and see what the upstream looks like.
"Evening, why do you want to leave in the evening?" Zou Kun asked casually.
The man was stunned for a moment: "Oh, we still have things to do during the day, and we are in a hurry, so we can only leave in the evening." If you want to go, come to the dock in the evening to find our boat, which is called the Death Number.
Zou Kun nodded dumbly, how can there be a ship with only one word in its name? It's so strange. If it weren't for the fact that there were no borders here, I would have thought they were smuggling and selling drugs.
After the horse pole man turned his head and joined the muscular man, he walked up the stone steps together. The woman looked back at Zou Kun and showed a seductive smile: "Little brother, remember to come at night." ”
After saying that, he held hands with the horse pole man and left.
Zou Kun really had some doubts that this woman was an escort?
Now that the main problem has been solved, Zou Kun put down a big stone in his heart. So I started looking for a place to eat. On the dock, there is such a small restaurant, and the sanitary conditions are really not complimentary. There was a large room with the smell of sweat, and there were a few tables and benches in the room.
Zou Kun thought to himself, now is not the time to be picky, so he entered the store and ordered two or three dishes.
At this time, it was the time to go to work, and this was not a tourist area, so Zou Kun was the only one to eat in the Nuoda restaurant. Looking at the river and fishing boats outside, he didn't know why the dream scene kept popping up in his mind.
Could it be that Zou Gan really has something to do with him? Could it be that he really left from here? Who is picking him up?
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so I ate peacefully. I didn't expect that the environment of this small shop was not very good, but this dish was fried very well, especially this cold noodles tasted smooth and delicious.
After eating, I went back the way I came, trying to go around the old houses with closed doors. But I never thought that those houses were like that very beautiful bed, and they had completely changed.
The house is still there, but the stones have begun to loosen and look like they are about to collapse. The paint on the iron door was rusty, the wood had rotted away, it was a dilapidated house, and only the grandeur of the past could be felt from the slightly majestic gate, and the rest was only desolate.
Zou Kun couldn't believe all this, and wanted to go back to the house where he stayed last night, but he couldn't find the path.
