Chapter Seventy-Five: Tengu Eclipse Day
"Why haven't I heard of this old mansion of the Huang family." The antique connoisseur asked Zhang Guozi.
Zhang Guozi shook his head, "I'm not familiar with Hankou!" ”
"The Huang family is a famous family in Hankou, and Zhang Zhidong gives the word scholarly family! When the first gunshot rang out in Wuchang, the revolutionary army went to Huang's house to raise military salaries. Mr. Huang was unwilling to pay for it, so he was shot by the revolutionary army as a Manchu lackey, and later the revolutionary army raided his home. At that time, more than 40 members of the family disappeared overnight. Some people say that it was the revolutionary party who beheaded them all over the house, and cruelly hid the corpses in the cracks of the wall of the Yellow House, and since then this old house has been deserted, and no one dares to live in it again! The driver gloomily told the story of the Huang family's old house.
One of Zhang's subordinates was a native of Hankow, he said. "That's right, I've heard people say that this house is very gloomy, and people who live nearby can always hear the cries of women and the screams of children at night! How did you know about this as a local? The subordinate asked the driver.
The driver said, "I heard from Brigade Commander Guo that he had participated in the revolution in Wuchang!" ”
The antique connoisseur pulled his beard and looked at Zhang Guozi, "Why did this group of people invite us to such a historical haunted house as the Huang family's old mansion?" ”
"It's all crooked, I'll put my words here, no matter who the opponent is, I will definitely break it into pieces!" Zhang Guozi hit the mirror with his fist, the mirror was torn apart, and the glass slag fell into the pool.
The old house of the Huang family is located at the end of Liuming East Road. This place was originally to be connected to Huaqiao South Road, but because the Huang family was powerful back then, the government couldn't demolish his house, so it was just changed to Liuming East Road to become a detour. More than ten years have passed, and the luxury of the old mansion has passed, and the dilapidated wall skin has circled around the creeper, sealing all the windows facing the street. The vegetation and flower beds in the yard are all deserted, and the leaves in the yard are scattered in the wind when you look through the iron gate.
Zhang Guozi took out a silver needle and stuffed it into the rusty copper keyhole on the door! He stabbed for a long time and shook his head, "The lock cylinders are all rusty!" Do you have a crowbar in your car, let's pry him open! ”
The antique connoisseur looked down at the lock cylinder, "This is a German lock, it is very strong, it is useless to hold a crowbar!" ”
The driver shook his head helplessly, "Both of them are elm heads!" The driver grabbed the railing on the iron gate and gently broke it to both sides, leaving a gap the size of a person. The driver whistled and got in, and a dozen of his men with ammunition boxes followed the driver in.
Zhang Guozi and the antique connoisseur looked at each other and smiled, and followed in.
The driver looked at the gate of the Yellow Mansion and sighed, "It's really a big family, this mansion is more magnificent than our General's Mansion!" The driver took out a box from his waist and gently pulled the bolt. What about machine guns? ”
One of his men rushed forward with a light machine gun with a crooked handle, the muzzle of which was pressed tightly at the driver's chest. The driver went up and slapped him, "Where the fuck are you meowing?" ”
The rest of the Northeast soldiers are holding the latest 38 covers issued by the Feng Army. One of his subordinates spat at the body of the gun and rubbed it with his clothes, "You see that this gun can be as tall as a man with a bayonet, but those little devils are not as tall as their own guns!" I don't know if I can use it! ”
The driver was a little angry, "Okay, don't fucking talk nonsense, as soon as the door opens in a while, the machine gunner doesn't say a word, and first sweeps a shuttle inside." The driver knocked on the door and saw no response. He fired several shots at the lock with his gun, and the door creaked open to the outside, and the room was pitch black, with nothing to be seen. The Heavy stepped forward and fired a shuttle of bullets. Unexpectedly, the sound of the bullet was muffled, and a lot of bullet casings bounced out of it. smashed the heads of several brothers. The driver groped his hand into the door, and he found himself plastering a wall. "Stop shooting, bring the flashlight!"
The driver took a photo with his mobile phone, and there were eight big characters written on the wall in red letters, "Welcome, enter the house at the back door", and there was a bunch of bloody handprints next to the words. The antique connoisseur looked at the bloody handprints on the wall and said, "It's all left hand, we have twelve soldiers here today, plus you, me and the second master, a total of fifteen people." And this wall just happens to have ... ”。
"Fifteen bloody handprints representing the man's left hand, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time." Zhang Guozi twisted his neck, "Dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of Lao Tzu, you say go through the back door, Lao Tzu prefers to go through the front door!" As he spoke, Zhang Guozi climbed along the door frame to the balcony on the second floor, and he tried his best to pull away all the creepers on the balcony and get into it alone.
"So what are we going to do?" The antique connoisseur asked, looking at the balcony.
"Go through the back door!" They walked around the courtyard towards the back door. When passing by the side courtyard, the driver saw that the two windows on the second floor of this wall suddenly had light flashing outward at the same time. The driver ordered the two brothers, one black and one white, to climb the wall to see the situation.
"Brother, the two of us don't have the ability to swim the wall of the gecko in the second master!" Brother Black complained.
Brother Bai was more clever, and he took out a half-cut wooden ladder from the storeroom in the courtyard and set it up on the wall. The remaining twelve continued to walk towards the back door. Because the ladder was only half left, the two of them had to break away from the ladder and get into the house when they were still more than a meter away from the second-floor window.
Brother Bai said, "You are following closely behind, and if you fall, you will not die and be seriously injured." Brother Bai said and jumped lightly, and climbed on the windowsill on the second floor with both hands. He pressed one foot against the wall and struggled upward, when the window suddenly opened. The windows are the kind that close up and down like those on trains. Brother Bai was a little scared in his heart, but he was already suspended in the air and could only climb up. His hand was getting closer and closer to the window. The Black Brother climbed under his feet, his feet off the ladder. He shouted at Brother Bai, "Why did the window open, did the second master go in?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Brother Bai being dragged in by a pair of hands, and then let out a miserable scream. The black brother was so frightened that his hat fell off, and he tried to go down to find the ladder, but he stepped on it a few times and failed, and when he looked down, the ladder leg was broken, and the whole ladder fell to the ground. The Black Brother looked up at the open window, and a bloody hand flew out of the window and smashed into his face, and he lost his balance and fell headfirst down from the second floor. The cervical vertebra was ruptured on the spot.
The courtyard of Huangfu was too big, so the drivers who walked to the back door did not hear the screams from the side courtyard. The backyard is a sunken patio. They had to go down to the patio, and then entered the yellow house through the gate in the patio, and just halfway through, the sky that had just been bright suddenly went dark. On the diagonal of the sun, a black shadow crossed from northeast to southwest, covering the entire sun, and the sky over Wuhan was dim.
