Someone is watching me in the dark.

I don't know how I reacted, so I immediately looked above the ancestral hall on the side, just this random governor, or saw the window of the black hole ~ hole, a pair of bright eyes flashed, and the speed was very fast. In this case, there is a good chance that the other party has been in the ancestral hall and knows that we are coming.

I leaned on Qin Chuyi's ear and said softly: "Someone is watching us from the window on the second floor of the ancestral hall. ”

His body trembled slightly, and he whispered to me, "Leave him alone." ”

I was stunned, what the hell, leave him alone? You told me to leave him alone, who was watching us in the middle of the night? But then I thought about it, Qiulan asked us to come over, this person is eighty percent aware, and now he is secretly observing us, it is very likely that it has started at the gate before, so this person should be an "insider", but for some reason can not meet, even if he is really Song Qiulan, then she is also waiting for me to find the location of Xu Jingchuan's statue, she has reason to suspect that a person who inexplicably ran to the back garden is not me.

To be honest, I can't figure it out more and more now, how did Song Qiulan, who was straight to the point, suddenly become so suspicious, and it seems that she is tabooing many things and many people, even those of us who are the only few people in the world who know her details, she has begun to take precautions, what is going on?

Thinking about this, we are almost deep in the garden. At first, it was just a knee-length weed, but now it's really half a human height, and some of them are even taller than me, and if you don't follow it closely, you might get lost. Fortunately, with the living map of Qin Chuyi, nothing will happen to us.

The blades of grass are stained with night dew, dotted with stars, and under the illumination of the moonlight, they seem to be inlaid with broken diamonds on the top. But when the man looked at it, a lot of sweat suddenly oozed from his palms. Wet and a little nervous.

I was still thinking about this in my heart, but I didn't feel that Qin Chuyi, who was walking in front, had stopped, and the whole person threw himself forward, and he fell into Qin Chuyi's arms. He was also a little surprised. But soon his face turned cheap. "Well, now is not the time."

"What do you think I want to do?" I was not angry, and poked my head out of the creaking nest beside him, and in front of me was a mass of black weeds, which was haphazardly climbing up another tree. The climbs are intricately intertwined, not like they can be guò.

"Haven't you passed?"

"Of course you have to go."

I bypassed Qin Chuyi and walked towards the weeds in front of me. When I walked in, I found that the intricate thing in front of me was a vine and other plant, which was wrapped around another tree left and right, forming a natural net bag, firmly blocking the way of people. But the branch in Qin Chu's hand was obviously pointing forward, which was the place blocked by this vine, and it was impossible to make a mistake.

I casually pulled the vine in front of me, and the long, slender vine looked difficult to pull. It's very tough and hard to pull, and I feel that the strength under it has become smaller, and the soft is not loosened, and there is a kind of meaning of overcoming rigidity with softness. This kind of vine is strong and soft, and it has become a natural fence, blocking Qin Chuyi and me from the outside at once.

I looked at him face to face, this is not easy to pass, and there is no sharp weapon in his hand, what should I do?

"Or ...... Burn it? Qin Chuyi asked me tentatively.

"No, this one burns. We'll have to burn down most of the garden, so let's see if there's any sharp rocks or something. ”

Qin Chuyi was a little helpless, but he still followed me to find the so-called stone.

It was pitch black in the middle of the night, and there were half-human-high weeds underneath. At first, it was okay, but after staying in it for a long time, the clothes on my body were a little damp ~ wet ~ . Touching it, I thought it was touching ~ When it was sharp, who knew that when I took it out, it turned out to be half a piece of glass, and it scratched my finger with a bang.

As soon as Qin Chu heard that I was bored~ snorted, he immediately ran over to take a look. I pinched my finger scratched by the glass and looked at it for a while as if it were a blood test, and suddenly said, "Do you want to try to put blood on it?" ”

When he said this, I suddenly felt a little reasonable. After all, this is the territory of the Xu family, especially the plants in the back garden, which have been planted here since ancient times, and so are the vines in front of them. The ancients said that the perennial plant will have spirituality, maybe it will recognize the blood of the Xu family.

But after all, I don't have the surname Xu, and there are not many cautious characters of the Xu family, but the Wu family has more of a big grin and rampage in case of trouble. Suspiciously, I reached over and gently tugged at the rattan.

After about a minute, except for the occasional quacking of birds flying by, or the cooing accompaniment of insects in the haystack like mockery, nothing else happened, but I stood in place like a stupid~, and Qin Chuyi next to me also began to laugh, because he was looking at a stupid~.

"Shut up...... I retracted my hand as if I had been electrocuted, took a napkin from my pocket, and hatefully wiped away the blood that had been left in between.

QIN CHUYI WAS STILL SMIRKING, BUT WITH A SMILE AND A SMILE, THE EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE SUDDENLY CHANGED, THE CORNERS OF HIS MOUTH DROOPED ~ DOWN, AND HIS CHIN BEGAN TO MOVE DOWNWARD, KNOWING THAT HE SHOWED AN EXPRESSION OF AMAZEMENT IN HIS CLOTHES, LIKE EMOJI.

"Hey, what are you doing, trying to tease me again?"

"No, no, look." He patted me on the shoulder and pointed behind me.

I turned around suspiciously, my eyes wide open. The vines that were still tangled just now seemed to suddenly come to life, twisting their snake-like flexible bodies and shrinking back little by little. The rattan on the side also seemed to have inspired something, and followed the vine in front of it to retreat little by little, until the original criss-crossing reticulated vine branches all shrunk into a ball and writhed in the weeds on the side.

Qin Chuyi's words were right, this vine could really distinguish the blood of the Xu family. This made me even more convinced of the purpose of this trip, there must be something waiting for me in front of me.

Without saying a word, I immediately walked forward, for fear that the vines that had just bent into a ball would pounce on us with their teeth and claws.

Maybe I was too confident, and before I could react when I walked to the front, a hard ~ Bang ~ Bang thing suddenly hit my head, or I was too reckless, and I didn't look at the thing in front of me and hit it directly.

It's a slate. I touched my reddened head and looked at the slate in front of me little by little.

Qin Chuyi followed and came over to help me light the light, and the words engraved on it came into my eyes. I recognized it right away. This is where the statue of Xu Jingchuan is placed, and most of the words engraved on this tablet are the life of Xu Jingchuan.

"What about the small part?" Qin Chu asked.

"The remaining small part is unintelligible, and it is said that it was engraved according to what Xu Jingchuan wrote himself. Everyone said that it was ciphertext, but it was engraved in honor of him. I said as I flipped over the stele.

According to the position placed in memory, the statue of Xu Jingchuan should be at the back of the monument. We are now standing behind the monument, but the vegetation beneath our feet is even more lush. The amount of weeds was several times that of before, and he couldn't see the road under his feet at all, and even Qin Chuyi poked it with a branch, and the feedback was all soft touches - all weeds. You can imagine how compact the grass grows underground.

Seeing this step, I can't stop there. But when I think of the person who watched us from the ancestral hall just now, I can't help but feel a little stunned. Looking down from the second floor of the ancestral hall, it should be close to the blind spot, but I still don't feel at ease, and I wait until the vine just now is completely stretched out like a dragon. Gradually weaving into a web of entanglements, erasing all traces of our path, I began the next action.

Since it is no longer effective to see with your eyes and touch with branches, you can only use the ancestral training of the Xu family to find it bit by bit.

I bowed down~ rolled up my sleeves and returned to my original posture, but as soon as I lowered my head, I didn't see the situation clearly, and a strange voice suddenly came from my ears.

"The ...... of the Principal"

The sound passed all at once. There is hardly any aftermath left. I was stunned for a moment, and when I looked back at Qin Chuyi behind me, he looked at the situation in all directions with a nervous expression as if he hadn't heard anything. Holding the backlight of his mobile phone high in his hand, he is a competent "lighter".

I closed my eyes and listened carefully a few more times, except for the birds that occasionally flew in the air and stayed on the trees and made a "cooing" sound, there were also insects scattered among the weeds, and from time to time they made a few sarcastic sounds, and then the wind suddenly rose. The whirring of churning branches and vines, and nothing else could be heard. I pricked up my ears, almost to the limit of human beings, and if I listened to it any longer, I would have auditory hallucinations.

Shaking my head, I lowered my head and continued with the work in hand. But at this moment, the dreamlike voice came up again.

"The ...... of the Principal"

The voice was faint, like a pair of hands, gradually climbing up to my ears, and unhurriedly went in and scratched my cranial nerves. All of a sudden, it was as if I had been struck by lightning, and I stood up with a "Teng" heartbeat, and my heart was almost jumping out of my throat.

Qin Chuyi was taken aback by my reaction, and the lamp in his hand almost didn't hold it steady.

"What's wrong with you?"

I swallowed my saliva and relieved the stunned expression on my face before I said faintly, "I think Uncle Yan is nearby......

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Chuyi's face also changed, red and white for a while, and finally laughed haha. "Did you hear me wrong......"

After saying that, seeing that I didn't answer, I suddenly felt that what I said seemed to make a lot of sense, and continued to make additions while nodding.

"Look, this month is dark and windy, and there are insects and birds chirping around, it is easy to make people sound the plot of a horror novel, and ah, we haven't had a good rest for a long time, it is inevitable to be suspicious, don't be afraid, I'm here."

It's not that I don't know this truth in my heart, if there is a sound I can understand, but at the same time there are two sounds, I can't stand it, I can be 100% sure that it's not my own auditory hallucination.

"Then you say, apart from Uncle Yan, who else will call me the master?"

Qin Chuyi lowered his head and thought about it, and finally shook his head.

"I don't think anyone but him would call him that. The other Xu family members are scattered far away, and there are no descendants of the dream master, so they don't know what to do for a long time, how can they come back to this troubled water. That...... Could it be him? Qin Chu raised a hand and popped out a finger pointing into the air.

What he meant was that it was possible that the person upstairs was pretending to be a ghost.

"No, that voice sounds like it came from the old man, there are few old people in the village, it's all like this, how can it be that he hasn't slept yet, besides, when I looked at him just now, I immediately avoided it as far as I could see, I don't believe that people over half a hundred years old still have such acuity."

"That'...... Could it be that the person recorded Yan Bo's voice and deliberately played it to you in the middle of the night to scare you? Qin Chu racked his brains and said this guess that he thought was unscored.

The question was getting farther and farther away, and I had doubted the man upstairs, but the vines were now formed, and the sound was clear from below, almost touching the ground and into my ears.

Qin Chu saw that I didn't take his thoughts at all, and followed me up and down~ to hear where the voice came from.

The two of us held our breath, neither of us daring to gasp, for fear that the sound would be scared away by our snort. After about five or six minutes on the ground, there was still no sound coming from me. Qin Chuyi was a little impatient, and the words "You must have been hallucinating" were written on his face and he was about to stand up. I panicked and pushed his head back to the ground, forcing him to continue listening.

It was then that the voice reappeared. Not near, not far, not too big, not too small, just the tone that the man lying on the ground could hear, and the faint and long vine swam towards us at a glance.

"The ...... of the Principal"

My back was hairy, and cold sweat broke out all over my body, and Qin Chuyi broke free of my hand on his head and jumped into the air.

"It's Uncle Yan! It's Yan Bo! His voice was like a thunderbolt that split the night, and the panicked look made me laugh.

Qin Chu felt out of his temper, coughed several times, and said sternly: "Is it possible that Yan Bo left any wishes after his death, didn't the person named Xu Wei mention it to you, all he shouted before he died." In the middle of the night, the most suitable for ghosts to wander, he came to you to catch up. ”

I ignored him, I heard the sound too much but was not so afraid, little by little crawling on the ground looking for the source of the sound, and before I knew it, I had stepped into the grass and stretched out.

Just as I was looking down to continue my search, a white hand suddenly reached out of the grass and clasped it on my arm...... (To be continued.) )
