Chapter 67: A Strange Mansion
"Where have they gone?" asked Erhei cautiously, staring around. After only a short period of effort, not only did the woman in red disappear and the figure of Yiyi, but even the shadow of 003 was no longer visible.
"I don't know. The little sister said, she looked back at him, and said, "Follow me." ”
Her tone and expression are irrefutable.
Erhei nodded hurriedly and followed behind her inch by inch. In such a strange place, without being reminded by my little sister, he also knew that he had to follow her.
The little sister dragged him tightly, and the two kept running forward, not knowing how far they had gone, until the black fog in front of them gradually dissipated, and some faint light began to appear in front of them.
The little sister pulled Erhei and stopped suddenly.
In front of them, the black fog had dissipated a lot, but the sky was still dead ash. Under this dead gray sky, a magnificent mansion appeared in front of the two of them at some point.
The gate of this house is made of fine logs, and the style is exquisite, the workmanship is excellent, and it looks thick and strong. The two sides of the door are not earthen walls or mud walls, but stone walls carved with intricate patterns.
There is a plaque above the gate, but this plaque seems to have been cut off by some sharp blade, and most of the part from the upper left to the lower right is gone, only a small "gold" character in the lower left corner still remains there.
On both sides of the plaque, two bright red lanterns are hung on the left and the right. Although it is festive, it is particularly infiltrating in this eerie environment.
This mansion looks very magnificent, and Erhei feels that it is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a mansion as a manor. Because this mansion occupies such a large area, it is simply the only one that Erhei has ever seen in his life.
Of course, Er Hei has never stepped out of Da Mizi Village since he was a child, and so far, the largest house he knows is the house of Sun Lao Liu's family, which is rigidly designated as a landlord bully in Da Mizi Village.
Helplessly, the entire village is full of poor peasants, and in order to make up the numbers, everyone has to sacrifice Sun Lao Liu. To tell the truth, Er Hei felt that the two big tiled houses of Sun Laoliu's family were not as proud as half of the village chief's family! With such a notoriety, he was really wronged.
Of course, in the seven years that Erhei disappeared, he happened to miss this historic moment, and there were some things he heard from Uncle Liu.
By the way, Uncle Liu?!
Erhei was shocked in his heart, many things have happened one after another during this period of time, and he has been exhausted in panic, for so long, he has completely forgotten Uncle Liu! Now that he thinks about it, I don't know what is going on with him now.
Erhei hurriedly asked Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, where is Uncle Liu?
Xiaomei looked at him strangely and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask about him?"
Erhei didn't answer her, he still kept asking, "How is Uncle Liu now?"
The little sister glanced at him with disdain, and said to him in an unhappy tone: "I promised other people's things, when have I not done it? Your Uncle Liu is now alive and sound." I've sent him back to your piggyback village. Can you rest assured now?"
Erhei's heart slowly relaxed, but ......
"Back to Da Mizi Village?" Erhei said, "But, there is ...... there now."
The little sister didn't wait for him to finish, and then said: "I know what you want to say, but how do you know that the chaos over there is still going on? There is no endless war in the world, and there is no prosperous era of eternal peace. ”
Perhaps, even this paradise, which is endlessly legendary by outsiders, is no exception.
She suddenly sighed softly and said, "Besides, it may not be a wise move not to send him back, but to stay here and run with us." ”
Erhei took a look at the environment around him, indeed, along the way, the things he had passed were more dangerous than the other, and his heart had always been hanging in his throat and had never let go.
Perhaps, sending him back is really the best choice. Even if the chaos over there still hasn't stopped, he can at least find a hidden place to live, which should be much happier than the days of running for his life like this.
The little sister saw that he had been bowing her head and pondering, so she said, "Have you thought about it?"
"Huh?" Erhei looked up and asked, "Let's go?"
The little sister's eyes looked at the strange house, and she said, "This house is full of strangeness. ”
"We, to...... Do you want to go in?" asked Erhei.
Xiaomei nodded quietly: "I'm going to go in and have a look." ”
Erhei reacted at this time, indeed, he didn't see the woman in red and the figure of Meaning and 003 all the way before, maybe, they really walked into this house.
The little sister was still looking at the house in front of her, and she said to Erhei: "Of course, you can also choose to stay here and wait for me." ”
Erhei was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "No! I'll go in with you!"
What are you kidding! Wouldn't it be more dangerous to stay here?
The little sister smiled lightly, and the two walked to the gate. The two stone lions at the door were mighty and domineering, one on the left and one on the right, looking at them angrily. Erhei shrunk his neck and carefully shrunk next to his little sister.
The little sister squinted at him, walked to the door, grabbed the gold-lacquered pepper door knocker and knocked lightly twice.
"Knock knock ......" for a long time, but no one answered in the door.
"Knock knock ......" The little sister knocked a few more times, but there was still no reaction in the door.
The little sister frowned, she didn't knock on the knocker, but reached out and gently pushed the door panel, and the heavy door embedded in the stone wall gently opened a crack. Erhei hurriedly went over to help, and the two pushed the gate open, and they were surprised to find that this gate was not locked!
The little sister walked in with her feet raised.
"Little sister...... "Erhei hesitated for a moment, and suddenly stopped her.
"What?" asked the little girl without replying.
"Thank you. Erhei looked at her back and said, "I promised you something, if I still have the life to get out of this place alive, I will definitely do it." ”
The little sister tugged at the corners of her mouth and didn't speak. She stepped lightly over the high threshold and into the house. Erhei immediately followed.
At this moment, the door behind the two of them slammed shut, and Erhei was so frightened that he trembled.
The eyes of the two stone lions outside the door suddenly flowed out of the corners of their eyes. Blood threads flow down the contours of their faces to the insteps of their feet, creating an eerie scene.
Of course, in this scene, Xiaomei and Erhei can no longer be seen. The two of them are standing inside this mansion at the moment.
