It's just that when he was only a few steps away from the lighted room, Meng Fusheng accidentally stepped on a dead branch, and a crisp "pop" sound disturbed everyone, and the people inside looked at Meng Fusheng in panic and fear.

A dying old man stood up, pointed at Meng Fusheng, and asked in his cloudy eyes, "Who are you?" ”

Meng Fusheng swept inside, there were no middle-aged men, they were all some vulnerable groups with weak survival ability, such as the old, weak, sick and disabled, and everyone's faces were numb and vigilant, as if Meng Fusheng was an intruder who needed them to fight, although this was indeed the case.

He arched his hand towards the old man, his posture was elegant, and it was very good for people to relax their vigilance and unload their defenses, "I just accidentally broke in, and it was my fault to disturb you." ”

Meng Fusheng was very decent and made them no longer so vigilant, but it didn't get much better, the old man said unceremoniously: "In this case, the guests should go out early, our house here is surrounded by walls, and there is nothing to entertain you." ”

Meng Fusheng didn't want to come here, but now he couldn't leave. So he had to plead cheekily: "I have to wait for a friend here, I beg you to take me in for a night, and when the friend who is here later or tomorrow comes, we will definitely not stay." ”

The old man looked at the others with inquiring eyes, and after turning around without any objection, he said, "Okay, come in." ”

Meng Fusheng bowed his hand to them gratefully, and then walked in leisurely, he was long and jade, high-spirited, even if he walked in a ruin, he seemed to not lose his bearing, which caused many people to look sideways.

He didn't dislike the faint lingering musty smell inside, he found a place to directly lift the hem of his skirt and sit down, not disgusted at all, the child who had just filled his stomach and stopped crying poked his head out of his mother's arms, looking curiously at this good-looking stranger.

Meng Fusheng smiled kindly at him, and the child smiled too, squeaking, and the little face that had been wiped clean was red.

The child's laughter was like a clear spring, slightly diluting the solemnity of this chaotic small room, many people's expressions eased, looking at Meng Fusheng did not have the initial proposal, and after half an hour, they began to do what to do again, several old people gathered together to talk about something, with relish, several women were also talking about their topic, and Meng Fusheng was having a good time with the children, knowing that the child yawned, indicating that he was very sleepy, Meng Fusheng smiled and watched his mother hold him in her arms and gently lull him to sleep.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room was already very harmonious, and Meng Fusheng also talked to a few old men, and after chatting a few words, he couldn't help but ask them curiously, "I heard that this place is haunted?" ”

Several old fathers-in-law laughed, and the old father-in-law who first communicated with Meng Fusheng explained to him: "Actually, we pretended to be all here, but we didn't want people from outside to disturb us or kick us out." Let us poor people have a place to live. ”

Meng Fusheng nodded understandingly, and then continued to talk about some questions that the old man was interested in, and then Meng Fusheng turned the conversation here Except for him, an outsider, who came in, did anyone else break in, but they all got a negative answer.

An old man scratched his head honestly and was very embarrassed, and replied: "Most people don't dare to come in when they know that this place is haunted, that is, young man, you are bold and are not afraid of anything to break in." ”

Now it was Meng Fusheng's turn to wonder, he didn't think there was any need for these old men to deceive him, and asked again unwillingly: "Is there really not?" If you think about it, it's something you don't know. ”

The old man was not happy, "What did the young man say, although I am old, my brain is not so bad." I know all the people who live here, and I don't know which ones shouldn't come in, and I definitely say, no! ”

Meng Fusheng has no choice now, he just becomes more and more strange, if the person behind the scenes is not here, then what is he calling him over? It can't be a joke for him, right? It seems that if you want to know the reason, you have to wait until you meet someone.

But this wait is a night, in the second half of the night, people have fallen asleep one after another, Meng Fusheng can't bear the call of the sleepy insect, his eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and he falls asleep directly, until the dazzling sunlight shines on his eyelids the next day, and he tears are stimulated, he opens his eyes and wakes up.

It was quiet, and none of them had woken up, except for the little kid who was pouting and playing with dirt next to his mother, and he was having a good time. It was obviously late, but none of them woke up, which made Meng Fusheng a little curious. It's just that now is not the time to satisfy your curiosity, and the top priority is to find out if the person behind the scenes has ever appeared.

But Meng Fusheng searched around the entire mansion and didn't find any traces, which means that that person didn't come over at all yesterday or even this morning! Meng Fusheng's face became heavier and heavier, could it be that the person was lying to him, but what was the point of this!

As he pondered, he unconsciously returned to the room, and it was almost noon, and the men were waking up one after another, and several women were knitting something with a needle and thread, and the cloth in their hands did not look good, while the old men were walking out with bowls and crutches.

Meng Fusheng stepped forward to stop them and asked, "What are you guys going to do?" ”

An old man replied, "A few of us old bones go to the street to ask for something, or we will be hungry at night." ”

"Ugh." An old man sighed deeply, "We are all here, and it is not easy to work, and we can't find a job to attract dislike, so we have to beg for something to live." They can only earn a little money by sewing clothes for some busy workers who do not have daughters-in-law, and the famous cloth houses do not look for them. ”

Another old man smiled open-mindedly, "Fortunately, I got up late today, and my stomach is not hungry yet, so I just need to ask for something to fill my stomach at night." ”

Meng Fusheng was shocked in his heart, it turned out that they didn't wake up in the morning because they were afraid of waking up too early and starving, what a group of poor people. Meng Fusheng couldn't help but feel pity, thinking that he had brought a lot of money with him, so it was better to help them and be a good deed. But at this time, he didn't choose to say it first, thinking that he would wait until everything was arranged.

Then he watched those old men support each other, and walked out tremblingly, his heart sour.
