Qi Rui and Tong Xi hid in a no-man's place and talked all night, until it was almost dawn, and Tong Xi fell asleep sleepily leaning on Qi Rui.

Qi Rui didn't dare to sleep, he kept staring at the adobe house until dawn, Qi Rui took off his coat and spread it on the ground, let Tong Xi lie on it to sleep, and he also lay down to prevent being discovered.

But to Qi Rui's surprise, he waited until almost noon, and he didn't see the man go out, just when he was wondering, he found that an Eighth Route Army from the village slowly walked to the adobe house and stopped, it seemed that he was sneaky, he saw that there was no one around to the door of the adobe house.

Qi Rui was stunned when he saw this person, because he looked very much like the person last night, but when did he go out!

The man stood at the door, took off his military hat, looked around again, and then slapped the dust of his military uniform a few times with his military hat, and found nothing before entering the adobe house.

Qi Rui's judgment is still very strong, how do he look at the one who entered the house just now is the one who followed him last night, but when did he leave! How did you not find out yourself!

The more Qi Rui thought about it, the more wrong it became, because according to his inference, it was right for this spy to give the plan to whom, that is to say, the spy who entered the adobe house yesterday should hand over the plan to, unless he was the leader of the Baqi spy team! It shouldn't be!

At this moment, Qi Rui suddenly felt a flower in front of him, because he felt the adobe house tremble slightly, he thought it was an earthquake, but he didn't feel anything under his feet, could it be that he didn't sleep all night.

Qi Rui continued to stare at the adobe house for more than an hour, and Tong Xi had already woken up, her stomach rumbling from hunger.

"Brother Qi! I'm going to buy something to eat! ”

"I'll go! You're staring here! "The more Qi Rui thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes! He was going to go to Chen Maohuan and ask who lived in this adobe house.

"Good!" Tong Xi rubbed his stomach and said,

When he walked to the village, Qi Rui found that the adobe house was not far from Chen Maohuan's security department, and it was only a five-minute walk away.

It happened that Chen Maohuan was in the office, and Qi Rui found him and asked directly: "Why are there soldiers of the Eighth Route Army living in the adobe house in front!" And what does he do? I'm going to know soon! ”

Chen Maohuan listened to Qi Rui's description and looked confused, and asked, "Comrade Ghost Shuai, is the adobe house you mentioned on the north edge of the village?" ”

"Yes!"

"But there's no way there's anyone there!"

"Why?"

"I'll take you to see it!!" Chen Maohuan called a few fighters as he spoke,

On the way, Chen Maohuan said to Qi Rui: "Comrade Ghost Shuai, there are only four coffins in that adobe house, but don't worry, there are no dead people in the coffins." ”

"You mean, there's no one living in the adobe house?" Qi Rui asked even more strangely,

"Yes!"

"But I clearly saw an Eighth Route Army enter it! There were lights inside last night! ”

"Lights!? It's even more impossible! That adobe house has no electrical wiring at all! Chen Maohuan said, pointing to the wire above his head.

Qi Rui looked in the direction of the adobe house, it was strange that he couldn't see it from his position, and only then did he pay attention to the surrounding terrain, it turned out that the adobe house was in a dead corner on the north edge of the village.

"Let's go check it out!" Qi Rui admired the chief of the public security section a little at the moment, there was a house under his nose, and it was obvious that the lights were on last night, and he actually said that there was no electricity! The brightness of the oil lamp and the light bulb can still be distinguished.

When he arrived at the adobe house, Chen Maohuan went directly over and pushed the door open, he was worried that he would destroy the traces after entering, but asked Qi Rui to look inside.

Qi Rui was still very vigilant, worried that the spies would suddenly attack from inside, but he looked inside through the sunlight and was also flustered, because there were really four thin wooden coffins inside, and the coffin lids were covered.

There was no one in the adobe house, Qi Rui didn't let Chen Maohuan and them in, he stood at the door and observed, it was strange that there was a layer of dust on the ground, and there was not a single footprint!

Qi Rui raised his nose and sniffed, there was a musty smell in the house, he went into the house and walked around, and then opened the lid of the coffin, it was quite clean and there was nothing.

"Why are there four coffins here?" Qi Rui asked,

"These four coffins have a long story!" Chen Maohuan said,

"Tell me about it!" Qi Rui is now puzzled, how can he be in the mood to listen to him tell stories,

"The owner of this adobe house is a rich peasant, originally several houses around here belonged to him, he has four sons and two daughters, after our Eighth Route Army came, his four sons all joined the Eighth Route Army with rich peasants on their backs, but the rich peasants were very angry after knowing it, he found the troops to make trouble, but his four sons were very resolute, so the very annoyed rich peasants customized four coffins, saying that his four sons would be used in less than a year!"

"And then?"

"As a result, it didn't take long for him to be!"

"Just because all four of his sons joined the Eighth Route Army?" Qi Rui asked,

"That's right! This rich peasant doesn't want his children to be soldiers, especially since all four of them are soldiers! At that time, the leaders of the army also wanted to do his ideological work, but as soon as this work began to be a rich peasant, he died! ”

"When did this happen?"

"It's been more than two years!"

"What about his wife and daughter?"

"My wife died a long time ago, my daughters married into other villages, and all these houses of the rich peasants were sold by his daughter, leaving only this adobe house with four coffins that no one bought, so I left it."

"But legend has it that this adobe house is haunted!" A soldier from the Public Security Section said,

"Haunted! Have you checked? ”

"Checked! What we see is what you see, there's nothing in it! Chen Maohuan said,

"But I saw someone come in!" Qi Rui said strangely,

"Why don't we find someone to tear this house down!"

"Go back first! I don't need you here! Qi Rui saw that they couldn't help much here, and said,

"Then let's go!" Chen Maohuan believed that Qi Rui was not mistaken, but now it is indeed clear that there is nothing in this house, so it is possible that the house was demolished as the soldier said.

Qi Rui returned to the door, and then looked at everything in the house, he couldn't let go of any details inch by inch, he watched people enter with his own eyes, Tong Xi also saw it, but why did people disappear when they entered here! There's only one possibility! That's what this adobe house has a mechanism in!

Qi Rui is a modern person who definitely doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, so there is only one possibility that he can explain the current situation, that is, there is a mechanism in this house! He had seen the adobe house shake slightly, and he thought he was dazzled.
