Chapter 26: Sima's Mansion

The time of "group flower performance" is still long, there will be two or three days, these days in the city can not be spent in vain, Luo Gan, who returned to Han Xiaozhi's residence, looked at the roof, but still couldn't see through the road behind.

"Slap" slapped himself, the field of vision showed data, and the clue went forward to 10%, which is gratifying! Finally, it's not in the single digits, and it's time to have a swinging music to match your emotions.

However, the surroundings were empty, and there was not even anything to enjoy in suffering.

Han Xiaozhi picked up the lamp to study, and the carpentry knife was stroked one by one, which was quite ingenious. Luo Gan naturally thinks that a lazy person like himself doesn't like to do things, and believes that most of those people who get ahead are from good backgrounds or have good luck, seeing Han Xiaozhi so persistent, Luo Gan can't help but feel a little itchy and unbearable.

"Ash."

"Noisy until you rest? Arogo. ”

"I wonder what's the use of all this stuff you're doing every day?" Rogan picked up a small wooden cow that Ash had just made today, the horn arc was very beautiful, and it must be called a work of art.

"It's not bad to pass the time, thinking that you will do well in the future and sell it to make a little money."

"But this wood carving is at most a plaything in the hands of princes and nobles, and it has no effect on ordinary people."

Han Xiaozhi was silent, he knew in his heart that things like wood carvings were actually playthings.

"Sometimes I think that our life is really boring, working during the day and sleeping at night, the rich and noble will go to listen to the opera, visit the Qinglou, ordinary people go to the wine shop to drink, and the literati write poems to express themselves, but it can be counted, it seems like that."

It's amazing, such a small character will begin to feel that the entertainment method of society is too monotonous, does it mean that his inner spiritual world is richer, or is he idle and panicked? A shopkeeper thinks about how to entertain, and his identity is indeed a little ridiculous, I'm afraid he doesn't deserve it.

"When you have money, think about these problems again, and now Brother Luo advises you to focus on work."

"Brother Aluo, I know your hard work, I'm just afraid."

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that I'll just keep doing it, and if I can't do it, my life will pass."

"Isn't that bad? Brother Han Chong is a post officer, and Zhu Zizhang is a cook, isn't this how ordinary people's lives live? ”

"But I'm not willing to ...... During this time, I saw the scene in the city, and I realized that the world was so big, and I really wanted to see it again. ”

Han Xiaozhi's eyes had infinite longing, that kind of simple and beautiful reverie beating in his eyes, when he didn't use the utility knife again, he didn't know what to do in the Tiger Pavilion, maybe he could find his own world.

It's not so much that he doesn't understand, it's better to say that Luo Gan is very envious of Han Xiaozhi's state. It's like when I first joined that big company in this life, and when I walked with the goddess, I had infinite longing for the future, and I hoped that life would always be beautiful.

It's a pity that the story is short and life is long. This truth can only be understood by those who have experienced pain, and Rogan pouted and smiled, let Ash reverie about the future, no one can deprive him of the right to dream.

The next day, Rogan asked passers-by all the way, and found Sima's mansion, facing north, the vegetation was not growing, the cold wind in the city was cold, and the place was accidentally blown into an iceman, and the mansion was gloomy, except for the soldiers guarding the door, there was no one else.

The mansion is surrounded by small stone walls, although it is not high, but it is also over the human body, if you rashly climb over the wall, it should be easy to startle the snake, Luo Gan estimated his own body, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go up the wall, not to mention how not to let the guards notice him.

Not left or right, Luo Ganzai carefully circled the entire mansion, the house is still relatively damp, it seems that he can't attack but outwit.

The guard was a middle-aged man in his forties, his cotton clothes were tightly wrapped, his figure looked very bloated, with a knife and a water bag pinned to his waist, his body was trembling all the time, and he continued to tremble with a water bag and two sips from time to time.

Rogan looked around, pondered carefully, and had a plan in mind.

first went to the wine shop next to him to warm up a glass of wine, and then used some loose money to send Xiao Er to drink with a few guests present, and specially asked Xiao Er to send some wine to the guards to warm his body.

The guards were very happy to see the hot wine, and they picked it up and drank it and talked to Xiao Er, and Luo Gan waited patiently.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the guards to have a dry mouth, and they got up carelessly with the wine in their stomachs, and after a while they went to find a place to go conveniently.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Gan seized the opportunity to enter Sima's mansion.

The entrance to the door has been covered with cobwebs, a few layers of dust have accumulated on the ground, and the feet are very dirty when they stand up, and it seems that the trouble of slippers is avoided.

Luo Gan didn't dare to make a statement, and suddenly remembered that he was nameless, what should he do if he saw Sima County's order? I can't help but think about it.

When you go out, the hard work of coming in is wasted, and when you enter the door, you feel like you are a thief. Let's go see Sima Yilin first.

It was quiet in Sima's mansion, and Luo Gan whispered, "Is anyone there?" and stood on tiptoe cautiously to probe, worried about disturbing the Sima County Commander in the room and the guards outside the house.

Every house was searched, but it was empty.

This is strange, doesn't it mean that Sima County Ling is sick, and if he is sick, the family will not be here, right? The most important thing is, doesn't Wang Xianling know that this is an empty house, and what are people doing here?

I couldn't figure it out, and my thoughts were like being beaten with a big stick all of a sudden.

There is a study room in the southernmost part of the mansion, and there are various books on it. The whole mansion was dirty and messy, but the books in the study were clean and there were traces of flipping through them.

Luo Gan tried to flip through some of these books, which recorded the genealogy of Sima County, and looked up to see that it was related to the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty. A bookcase next to it displays the "Anping Local Chronicles", with all kinds of strange cases and investigations, including the rat monster that absorbs people's spirit.

According to the "Anping Local Chronicle", 20 years ago, adult men in the villages around Anping collectively experienced fatigue, exhausted and bedridden, weak and unable to work; Some are pale, and young and middle-aged men have no flesh and no longer have a married life.

Looking down, there are villagers who have witnessed the appearance of "rat monsters", with human heads and rat bodies, haunting in the moonlight, mostly in the homes of men living alone, and there are victims of all ages.

Further down, the pages of the Anping Local Chronicles are missing, apparently tears off.

It seems that this incident is not simple, it appeared 20 years ago, and it has harmed people's livelihood. It is not yet known whether the last few pages of the local chronicle were secretly protected or whether they were really taken by someone with a heart, and the information is incomplete and there are no more clues.

The previous clues suggested that in order to find out the truth of the rat monster incident, it is necessary to really see Sima County Order if you want to continue to follow this clue to find the answer in the future.
