Chapter 55: The Strange House
"We have to listen to them, I think they are like savages. There are also demons who remind us that the ghost is in this direction, and I don't know if he is here? ”
Zhu Wen looked around, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be here, he probably won't come to such a terrible place." Yixin, do you think the demon feels wrong? ”
Li Yixin glared and said, "I'm not it, how can I know?"
As soon as Li Yixin finished speaking, the demon who had been hiding in her hat and had not made a sound "meowed" softly, Li Yixin listened and then said: "It is very likely that the ghost is here, so let's take a look around."
Gu Yan nodded and said, "I hope nothing happens to him."
Sister Yang walked over and straightened Li Yixin's hat, hid the demon inside, and whispered: "Demon demon, you just hide inside and don't move, they may be bad people."
The demon screamed again, and Sister Yang turned her head and said to them seriously: "Look, the demon understands people's words, you still don't believe it, let's all look around, maybe the ghost is really here."
The man still walked over from a distance alone, and when they saw it, they didn't speak again.
"I thought it was their patriarch who came to pick us up in person, it seems that the patriarch's qualifications are quite old."
Zhu Wen whispered, Li Yixin pulled the corner of his clothes, Zhu Wen smiled at her with a side face, and did not speak again.
Zhu Wen's smile made Li Yixin blush with laughter so suddenly, fortunately they all went to see that person and didn't notice Li Yixin, otherwise she would be teased by them again.
When did they get so good? Who knows.
The man walked up to Gu Yan and said to Sister Yang, "The patriarch let you in, we have already prepared food for you."
Come with me, and I will take you in. Hurry up, it's dark, wait for the dark, I'm afraid that there will be a ghost baby coming out, go quickly"
After the man finished speaking, he walked forward again, and his heart palpitated.
They didn't understand the man's words very much, but they understood that they could eat, and they told them to go until the patriarch agreed to let them go.
I was tired and hungry after a day of driving, and I didn't care about waiting for Yang Damei to translate, and I followed the man to the village one by one, and I didn't care about what the hell it was, let's talk about it after eating.
Yang Damei stood at the end and shook her head helplessly, and Sun Da, who was the least courageous, actually ran to the front when she heard that there was something to eat.
The group was silent, followed the man, and at first saw some clearing, clumps of weeds, some of which were below their knees, and where there was no grass, there were some stones.
Slowly walked into the village, saw some houses, only the outline can be seen, it looks quite dilapidated.
There were no lights everywhere they walked, and the man didn't even beat a torch, and everyone followed in the dark.
It was getting dark, and I walked past some houses surrounded by trees, and there was no smoke or lights floating out of the houses.
"Is there no one here?" Everyone thought so in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask.
Everyone has seen a more remote place than Yang Damei and them, they have always thought that they will not encounter people, thinking that they will only walk through some deserted places.
Is it sad or happy? Is it worried or afraid? I can't tell.
They didn't dare to speak lightly, they quietly followed behind the man, and when it was dawn tomorrow, they would see what kind of place this was, and they would finish tonight in peace.
After about another five or six minutes, the road was not very clear, and the man stopped in front of a house that looked relatively large with an ancient saying.
As you can see, there are two lanterns hanging in front of the door of the house, which only illuminate the stone steps in front of the door, and the door is vermilion, just like the ancient door, with two large copper rings on it.
Before he could take a closer look at the man, he opened his mouth and said, "The patriarch's house is here, you can follow me in."
When the man had finished speaking, he went up the stone steps, one, two, three, and four, and then pushed open the door with the brass ring, and turned back and said, "It's dark outside, come in quickly."
Sister Yang took the lead to the front, and Gu Yan and they followed behind one after another, and Zhu Wen, who was walking at the back, glanced outside and then closed the door.
"Squeak-" turned off the darkness outside, and opened the door to the unknown.
I saw that the house was arranged in a rectangular shape, and inside the gate were two huge plane trees, and on both sides were houses, which were neatly repaired, and they were all two floors of the building plus an uninhabited roof.
The houses on either side have rooms of the same size, each of which is door-to-door, with a hall in front and some fire inside.
The hall was lined with two more plane trees, but much smaller than the one at the entrance. When you look up, you can see the leaves on the plane tree, growing densely, covering the sky.
As the old saying goes, they follow the man, and Zhu Wen walks last, I feel that this house is quite weird, how can there be such an arrangement to repair the house?
Zhu Wen pulled Yang Erwa, who was side by side with him, and whispered to him: "Erwa, do you say that this patriarch has obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
"What is OCD?"
Yang Erwa asked in a low voice, not quite understanding.
Zhu Wen helplessly pointed to those door-to-door rooms, and Yang Erwa said, "I don't know what obsessive-compulsive disorder is."
After finishing speaking, he went to the front, Zhu Wen pulled his lips helplessly, glanced behind him and walked forward.
Someone came, and the doors of the hall were all open, and in the middle was the gate, and on either side of the gate were two separate small doors, both of which were open at the moment.
The candlelight in the room illuminated the stone steps outside the hall, the first, second, third, fourth, and the same four stone steps as the main entrance.
"This patriarch's obsessive-compulsive disorder is too strict!" Zhu Wen sighed in his heart, seeing that they were all going up the stone steps, he also went there.
Gu Yan They all followed the man to the door, and Zhu Wen and Yang Erwa went to the door next to them.
I thought there would be something strange in the hall, but when they walked in, they found that there were a lot of people inside, six tables.
The door of the hall faces two tables, the small doors on both sides face each other, there is a table in the right corner, and there is a table in the middle of the hall.
The five tables were full of locals, and there was only one middle-aged man sitting there at the middle table, waiting for Gu Yan to them, Gu Yan They hadn't seen so many people for a long time, and everyone was dizzy when they suddenly saw so many people today.
The man who had led them the way sat down at the table at the very entrance, with his back to the patriarch.
"Take them to put their things on the table and come to dinner." The patriarch commanded, and after a while, a girl stood up from the table at the door, black, about sixteen or seventeen years old, obediently to the ancient sayings.
Gu Yan They didn't even have time to see the appearance of the patriarch clearly, and they couldn't afford to offend, so they had to follow the girl and go outside.
