At dusk that day, the neighbors in the alley all gathered in front of He Jiu's house, and some even sent candles, flashlights and other things, because Prince Zheng's mansion had not yet been connected to the electric light because it was deserted and unoccupied.

He Jiu's wife Qian Ying originally refused to agree to him, but because his father Qian Lao, who supported He Jiu's move, agreed, and the neighbors treated her husband as a hero, so they agreed.

"He Jiu, if there is really a ghost inside, you will use this axe to chop him!" Someone raised his axe and raised it.

Some neighbors also cared: "He Jiu, although it is said that drinking alcohol can strengthen your courage, but you don't want to get drunk and make a mistake." ”

"You went in and lit these candles, but be careful, your eyes should be wide open, don't fall asleep."

Kind neighbors have come to the fore.

He Jiu agreed very boldly, and then staggered towards Prince Zhengzheng's mansion with a vegetable basket containing food and a bottle of two pots.

The neighbors insisted on sending He Jiu on the road, so He Jiu always felt that someone was following him, he turned his head and found that his wife Qian Ying and his father-in-law Qian Lao Ye were also among them, and beckoned: "Go back, you can't die!" ”

"You have to be careful!" Qian Ying worried.

"If something terrible happens, you can call out loudly, and the villagers will help you at any time." Mr. Qian said.

"Don't worry!" He Jiu waved his hand.

So, Qian Ying and her father went back, but several neighbors still followed him.

He Jiu came to the gate in front of the Prince's Mansion, hesitated for a moment, he tried to push the door, but since the murder of the Prince's Mansion, the gate has been locked and cannot be opened at all, so he put down the basket and struggled to climb a brick wall more than one person high.

"You give me my things." He shouted.

A neighbor came over and lifted the bamboo basket containing the food and handed it to him, and He Jiu jumped into the garden of the Prince's Mansion with the basket.

In front of his eyes, there is a ghostly rockery, and next to the rockery are connected houses, which are beautifully carved and built, and it can be seen that they were made by craftsmen during the Qing Dynasty.

Since no one has lived in it for a long time, the garden is overgrown with thorns, disorganized, and somewhat desolate.

But judging from the overall layout, even in the twilight, He Jiu could vaguely feel the former prosperity and glory of Prince Zheng's Mansion.

At this time, a group of crows, who didn't know where they came from, were hovering up and down on the roof, bringing up bursts of black shadows under the twilight, and from time to time they let out a miserable cry, this kind of creepy situation made He Jiu couldn't help but shiver.

He stood at the door of the house for a moment, and such a terrifying scene had already made him start to speculate wildly.

"I don't know what's going on inside, will a scary ghost suddenly appear?"

Thinking about it, He Jiu actually felt a little nervous and panicked, should he stay in the garden for the night or enter the room? At this moment, he imagined this gloomy room, where there were many dead people who had been killed, and now it was such a dark night, it was the moment when the murdered souls haunted - naturally, He Jiu became more and more timid.

There was a stone table on the edge of the lawn in the garden, and next to the stone table were four stone benches, and he chose one at random to sit down, and then stared blankly at the rooms that were as quiet as death.

Thinking of being drunk and strong, He Jiu opened the wine bottle and drank a few sips of Erguotou, at this moment, because his heart was too nervous, he even forgot a little bit about the pungency of the liquor, until he felt that his head was a little dizzy, so he hurriedly opened the bamboo basket and took out a few mouthfuls to eat.

"I can't get drunk!" He Jiu thought of the reminders of the villagers, and hurriedly said to himself.

He took a few more sips of wine, and felt that the paralysis of alcohol had made his nerves infinitely thicker, and then he held his mind and walked towards the dead house.

Prince Zheng's mansion is huge, and there are even more houses than can be counted, drunk and strong, and He Jiu at this moment is becoming more and more bold.

One by one, he kicked open the dead doors, until there was a clang in the silent night.

"Ghosts."

"Ghosts?"

"Where are the ghosts? Where are the ghosts? ”

He Jiu smiled and shouted loudly, using his voice to embolden himself, but as he walked, He Jiu encountered a strange room door, and he couldn't open it.

But by this time he seemed to have forgotten his fear, and without any scruples, he used the axe he had been holding in his right hand to split the lock of the door of the house in three or two strokes.

But when he shone the flashlight into this room, he couldn't help but be stunned......"

At this point, the old man's voice stopped abruptly.

Han Xinzheng listened attentively, and subconsciously urged: "Uncle, what then?" ”

Group ...... Husband, let's not listen to these horror stories! I might not be able to sleep at night. ”

He Juan tugged at Han Xin's sleeve, and her eyes had already expressed her heart: This old man is telling nonsense to scare people at first glance, what's the use of listening to this?

Han Xin smiled and shook He Juan's slightly dodgy hand, and said, "Wife, don't worry!" Now that you've heard the beginning of the story, you have to finish the ending! ”

"Hehe, Lao Li is scaring the strangers again!"

At this time, a passing villager joked with a smile.

He Juan rolled her eyelids, the meaning was self-evident, thinking that Han Xin was wasting time.

Han Xin didn't quibble, but he pestered the old man and said, "Uncle, tell me again, what happened to this result?" ”

"Hehe, but some people don't believe it, and think I'm telling jokes!" The old man laughed at himself.

Han Xin shook his head, "No, uncle, I believe what you said is true." ”

"Well, since you trust the old man and me so much, then I'll finish telling you the story.

Later, no one knew what He Jiu had experienced in this prince's mansion, but the next morning, his father-in-law, his wife and more than a dozen neighbors were waiting for He Jiu to come out at the gate of the prince's mansion, but they found that it was quiet inside, without a sound.

He Jiu's wife, Qian Ying, called He Jiu to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, but the entire Prince's Mansion was as silent as death, and there was no response, and the neighbors helped shout, but it had no effect.

In the end, it was He Jiu's father-in-law, Master Qian, and the surrounding neighbors who decided to enter the prince's mansion together.

Everyone smashed open the lock of the prince's mansion and walked in together, after entering the prince's mansion, the scene everyone saw was the same as the scene He Jiu saw when he jumped into the garden, and even a few attentive neighbors found the peanut shell that He Jiu threw away.

However, only He Jiu was not seen, and everyone opened the room one by one to search, but still did not find any clues.

In addition to those peanut shells, even He Jiu's vegetable basket disappeared together. ”
