Seventy-six. Mysterious place

Is that a place? I couldn't help but laugh. When we were studying, there was indeed a wave of investigation. But it was around that time that a map of the city's top 10 haunted ghosts was released. In addition to the mysterious bus, the most eye-catching thing is this famous "ghost building". It is said that someone once heard that it was bustling inside at night, but when he looked through the crack in the door, it was pitch black. It has been claimed that a woman was heard crying inside at night; Even cats, which often come and go, are called supernatural creatures...... For a while, it aroused countless curious people to go there to find out, and for a time it became a resort for curious people.

When Shao Yin and I went to visit, the craze was just emerging, but there were already people ahead of us. When we inquired about the nearby residents, we heard a completely different voice: one was the older aunts and uncles, who completely agreed with the outside statements, they almost didn't go out at night, and when they mentioned the building, their attitude was very cautious, as if they were afraid that if they said a few more words, they would offend the people there; Young people, on the other hand, tend not to believe the rumors, believing that it is nothing more than an abandoned mansion, and that it is precisely because so few people go there that it leads to so much nonsense.

"Remember the night we spent there in the terror? In addition to seeing wild cats coming and going, it really scared me enough. Shao Yin also remembered the situation at that time, and she smiled: "The person who came in over the wall was probably also frightened by us." ”

I vaguely remember the bold young man. He offered to accompany us into the building in the early hours of the morning to see if it was really haunted. So, after preparing candles and flashlights, we walked in through the gate at 11 and a half in the evening. It was a small three-story building, probably because of the spring, so there was always an indescribable smell of decay inside. The spaciousness of the building was beyond our imagination, and what surprised us even more was that the owner of the small building had obviously spent a lot of money on the decoration, the staircase handrails of Nanmu. It's still there. Chandelier in the hall. Although it is covered with cobwebs, it still reflects a little metallic light. As we suspected, the furniture inside had already been emptied, adding a bit of weirdness to the whole building.

All memories of those years seem to be gone. I only remember above the fireplace in the hall on the first floor. There is even a mural. In the painting, an oriental woman in a dress looks shyly into the distance, holding a handful of red roses in her hand; And another memorable picture. It was a man who was shaking, looking at us, who were also frightened, and asked who we were. It wasn't until he was sure of our identity that he exhaled and said, "Oh my God, it scared me to death, I thought this place was really haunted?" You don't know that the sudden appearance in the middle of the night, and wearing light-colored clothes, can be scary. ”

"We didn't see anything in there. And that building ......" I looked at Shao Yin hesitantly, the sparkle in her eyes obviously showed that she had not only been there, but also the latest news.

Sure enough, she nodded a few times and said, "There...... It is indeed the old property of the Ling Feng family, and I heard that the descendants of the Chen family went with the documents of the year and are negotiating. But conventionally, nine times out of ten it will fall into their hands. After all, everything is there, it's just a matter of changing the book. So I think we can go there and have a look before they have all the formalities. ”

"You're not really going to do 'teenage mania' again, are you?" Now it was my turn to become helpless, I glanced at her, trying to convince her to stop such crazy thoughts, "Even if it used to be their house, there may not be any secrets in it, right?" And does it have anything to do with that painting? ”

"How can it not matter? Do you think I'm going to do useless work? You know, my character is that I can't afford to be profitable, and I will never do anything that is not beneficial. Shao Yin deliberately lowered his voice and continued towards me: "I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, all problems are not problems. All you have to do is solve the mystery in the painting......"

"So tell me what you think is the secret? It can't really be the nonsense out there, right? I've ever heard of paintings like cornucopias...... But in my opinion, it's a story that grandmothers tell when they put their children to bed. I looked at her helplessly, vaguely worried in my heart, Shao Yin was completely confused by those rumors, so he would do those boring things.

Shao Yin paused, put a piece of dim sum on my plate, and said slowly, "Okay." I understand what you're worried about, and...... We're definitely not going there tonight, because we need a little bit of time to prepare. Of course, it will take a lot of time to convince you. Okay, after dinner, we'll go to your house, I think there are some things we can say slowly, you are the most reassuring place, who let you have such a good boyfriend. Other than that...... I also want to know if I can be completely relieved that the painting is handed over to you. ”

There was a quick silence between us. At this time, I looked at Shao Yin again with very curious eyes, she was indeed a person who put interests first, and she had said more than once that she had no friends except me. But this time, where did she come from? I knew her too well, so I knew better that she couldn't have gotten that painting anyway on her own. What I don't understand even more is that she actually stayed in a hotel instead of choosing to squeeze in with me? What the hell was she thinking?

"I didn't come back here on my own this time, so it's inconvenient for me to live with you." An embarrassed expression flashed across her face, and after a while she sighed again, "Well, I know that there are some things I am hiding from you, but I can't say anything yet, because I don't know how to tell you what happened to me, maybe there is a chance, you will know everything." ”

"And what about that painting? I think when you got the painting, it seems that the owner of the painting was not ready, right? I hesitated to explain it before I said it.

Sure enough, Shao Yin's face instantly became ugly, she glanced at me, and then sighed and said, "You know, you can't hide anything from your eyes, but this is not the place to speak." We'll talk about it when we get back. (To be continued.) )
