Chen Congxin said: "After that, Lianzi's mother went back to her hometown in the countryside and left her behind. She didn't do the laundry anymore, she stayed with me in our accommodation every day, waiting for me to come back from school and cook for me. Accompany me to read a book. During this period, the old woman in the village once came to Fucheng to come and see me. Didn't say anything, just shook his head and sighed. I don't know why. And so I spent half a year with that girl. When it comes to the big competition, I have to go to Beijing to take the exam. She insisted on accompanying me, and we came to the capital together. As a result, I won the title of the gold list, and I am very happy. But I went back to the inn to tell her the good news. However, nowhere could I find her, so I asked the innkeeper and his fellows. They all looked at me with strange eyes. I couldn't find it, I was so anxious that I was going crazy. ”

Cheng Luoyan hurriedly said: "Lianzi must be because she is washing clothes, I am afraid that you will look down on her after the imperial examination." So I went back alone. ”

"Yes! That's what I thought at the time. I rushed back all night, and finally arrived at Fucheng and returned to the place where we lived. However, Lianzi is not at home, and no one seems to have lived in the house. I asked my neighbors, but they looked at me strangely. I went back inside to check and found that all of her clothes were missing except for my own. I was sure that she had gone back to her hometown with her clothes to find her mother. I hurried to her house. When her mother heard what I said, she cried. Dragged me to the entrance of the village. Let me see a mound. Her name is written on the humble tombstone! And the date of death written above turned out to be the day the lotus seed fell into the water! ”

All of them felt cold and swishing all over their bodies.

Cheng Luo's delicate body trembled, and she smiled reluctantly: "What the hell is going on?" The girl who has lived with you for half a year turned out to be a ghost? She was dead when you got her up? ”

Chen Congxin shook his head slowly: "I didn't save her." To be precise, it was the lotus seed that saved me! ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Chen Congxin continued: "What her mother told me is actually a good surname for Lianzishui. That day, she woke up after she fainted and fell into the water, and came out of another ice hole where she was washing clothes. But I knew that I had jumped into the river to save her. She jumped back in. rescued me from the ice hole, but she cramped and sank into the water because the river was too cold. When I was unconscious, someone fished her up and drowned. But no one told me. ”

Cheng Luoyan's eyes were red, and she snuggled up to Leng Yi. Choking.

Chen Congxin continued: "I wanted to know what was going on, so I went to find the old woman who could see ghosts with one eye. The old woman sighed and said, "The last time she went to Fucheng, she saw a drowned female ghost beside me. It's just because she can see that the female ghost is very good to me and won't harm me. So didn't tell me. She said that although the girl was dead, she was grateful to me. They like me, worry about me, and are reluctant to leave, so the ghost has always been with me. waited until I was named on the gold list, and she was relieved to go. ”

After listening to this sad ghost story, Cheng Luoyan cried even more sadly.

Leng Yi sighed: "Lord Chen, I don't know whether to say that you are lucky or unlucky. ”

Xiang Gong said: "Yes." I don't know if your ghost story is true or not. However, for the sake of what you say, you can stay and join us on tonight's haunted house adventure! Hey! ”

Chen Congxin smiled indifferently: "Then should I thank you, or should I hate you?" ”

"It doesn't matter, maybe you'll see your dead girl in this haunted house!"

Chen Congxin shook his head gloomily and did not speak.

Xiang Gong looked sideways at Zhao Pu: "You are old, whether you want to stay or not, you decide for yourself!" ”

Zhao Pu said: "Being able to see a ghost is a rare thing. It can also prove that there really is a netherworld in this world, so that I will know where I will go when I die. Perhaps, I can ask this ghost about the affairs of the underworld, and I have a good bottom in my heart. ”

Xiang Gong is naturally a good one for everyone to participate. Then he looked at Leng Yi again: "Lord Leng." We count you as the youngest here, and you are the judge of the trial court. You can't be absent, but your concubine can go back. lest you freak him out at any time. ”

Cheng Luoyan was going to say that she would not participate, but when she heard that she was going back alone, Leng Yi wanted to participate, so she immediately said: "This is not good!" To go together, to stay together! I don't worry about my family staying here alone! ”

Leng Yi said: "That's good! Let's stay together, I'm interested in seeing what ghosts look like! ”

Lu Duosun said: "Then it's decided!" The servants are all gone, and a few of us can do it, how about it? ”

Everyone said yes, and the servants were eager to say this, and hurriedly withdrew. According to Shen Lun's instructions, he sent people everywhere to report the situation, and he didn't dare to say that a few of them bet on living in a haunted house. I just said that I was happy to drink, and I didn't want to go back for a while, so I wanted to drink until dawn.

The servant went out and closed the courtyard door. Ludosun also ran to close the door. Come back and stand on the grassy stone path, spread your hands, and smile: "Okay, now, the game begins!" Make it clear who was captured tonight! Don't blame it! ”

Xiang Gong looked at the sun that was gradually slanting westward, and glared: "Less wordy, of course no one is to blame!" ”

Leng Yi stood up, carried a pot of wine, and said, "Otherwise, let's take a look around first, we want to live here today, and find a place to settle down." You can't just sleep under the porch, can you? ”

And everybody said yes. So, some held wine jugs, some held wine glasses, and some simply nibbled on chicken legs and duck feet, all of them drunkenly and staggered into the main hall with Leng Yi and Cheng Luo.

The main hall is very spacious, but it is very cold, and the windows around it are very high and small, which makes it seem that the light in this hall is very dim.

Cheng Luojie hugged Leng Yi's arm, and her voice trembled a little: "Official, is this the mourning hall where the young grandmother who stored the corpse was stored?" ”

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, whose mourning hall hasn't stored the dead? Whether it is the end of life or the accidental death, it must be placed in the mourning hall. Nothing to be afraid of. ”

Leng Yi looked around, and there was a door on the inside and on both sides. What is amazing is that the door in the back is actually two whole bluestone slabs! The door was covered with cobwebs, clinging to some dead leaves that had been blown in by the wind.

Leng Yi walked to the door. looked at Shen Lun: "Could this be the legendary house made of stone where the ancestral tablet of the Zhen family is placed?" ”

Shen Lun nodded: "It seems that it should be." ”

Cheng Luoyan cringed a little and said, "Then is there a tablet in this?" ”

Song Qi was good at wine, patted Shimen, and said, "Let's bet, whoever loses will drink a pot of wine, how about it?" ”

This time. These people are all drunk, and it is the stage of rhetoric. He patted his chest and said there was no problem.

Song Qi said: "Let me say first, there must be no tablet in it!" When the people of Zhen Zhai left the capital, they naturally brought all the tablets of their ancestors with them, and there was no reason to leave their ancestors here alone! So, there are no more tablets in it! ”

The rest agreed. In the end, only Leng Yi did not speak. All eyes were on him.

Leng Yi smiled. said: "Since you all bet that there is no one in it, I will say the opposite, otherwise there is no point in betting?" ”

Song Qi said happily: "So, do you bet that there is still a tablet of the ancestors of the Zhen family in it?" ”

"Yes."

"You're doomed! The Zhen family did not die, but moved south, and they left. How could you not take away the tablet of your ancestors? This is common sense! Haha...... it is said that you are like a god in solving cases, and you are good at solving cases from small clues. Drink bars! ”

Cheng Luoyan believed in Leng Yi the most, and glared: "The stone gate hasn't opened yet, how do you know that we have lost?" ”

Song Qi laughed: "Lord Leng." Do you have a miscalculation sometimes? Get ready for a drink! ”

After that, Song Qi pushed the stone door hard.

This stone door is open in the left and right, Song Qi pushed it, but did not push it open, sighed, and added force, but still did not push it open. Lu Duosun laughed: "You're too thin! I got it! He stepped forward with both hands, but Shimen still didn't move.

Everyone was very strange.

Leng Yi said: "You can't push it away like this." ”

"Why?" Song Qi asked.

"Because the stone door is locked!"

Everyone was surprised, looked down closely, and sure enough. There seems to be a lock in the middle door where the cobwebs are covered with dust and fallen leaves, but everyone is drunk and the light in the lobby is very dark. So I didn't notice it, but Leng Yi was very observant, and he saw it at a glance.

Ludosun picked up a dead branch from the ground, and opened the cobwebs on it, revealing the brass lock, which was locked, and looked at the ground, but there was no key.

Lu Duosun said, "I'll go find a stone and smash the lock open!" ”

Shen Lun hurriedly said: "Don't! This is someone's house, let's come in to enjoy the cool is already very disturbing, how can we smash the lock of someone's door! ”

Cheng Luoyan said: "If you don't smash it, how do you know if there is a tablet in it?" How do you know if you win or lose a bet? ”

"In order to know the victory or defeat, and smash other people's things, even if you win, there is no glory!"

Leng Yi smiled and said: "Although this house is made of stone, there must be a vent or something, otherwise, the people inside are afraid that they will suffocate to death!" Let's take a look at the vent and we'll know. ”

Everyone said that it was good to pay attention, so a group of people came out and went around to the back of the house, and sure enough, they saw a high ventilation opening, but it was only the size of a bowl. Moreover, it is high up near the roof, and people can't reach it.

Everyone looked around to see if there were any stools or anything like that, and they could step on the heights and look inside. Song Qi was still sharp with his hands and feet, moved a high coffee table out of the lobby, put it below, and said to Cheng Luoyan: "I don't know if this coffee table is strong or not, Mrs. Cheng, you are light and have martial arts, so you should go up and take a look." ”

Cheng Luoyan smiled and said, "If I go up, you won't be afraid that I will cheat and protect my family officials?" ”

Song Qi smiled: "Isn't it just a pot of wine, your family officials won't get drunk, and you don't need to protect it." Big deal, I'll just drink it! ”

Cheng Luoyan smiled and jumped on the coffee table lightly, just enough to reach the air port. Squinting and looking in: "I can't see it clearly, it seems to be something horizontal, a bit like a beam, but it looks like a stone." ”

Lu Duosun raised the fat head of the Quartet and said, "Let you look at the tablets, see what those do!" A woman's family is unreliable! ”

Cheng Luoyan snorted, raised her feet higher, and said, "It's very dark down there, it seems to be something, and I don't know if it's a tablet." ”

This is related to the matter of betting, Lu Duosun was very anxious, and said: "You come down, let me see!" ”

Cheng Luoyan muttered and jumped down: "You can take care of it yourself!" ”

"Give me a hand!" Lu Duoxun stretched out his hand to Cheng Dexuan. Cheng Dexuan supported him and got on the high coffee table.

The coffee table began to creak, and Lu Duosun staggered to his feet, and just as he was about to look in with both hands on the vent, the coffee table suddenly collapsed.

Lu Duosun screamed, his hands clasped the vent tightly, and his fat body hung in the air. Kicking and screaming.

Everyone was laughing. but did not go up to meet him. After only a few moments, Lu Duosun couldn't hold on, his hands were weak, and with a scream, he fell down and fell heavily to the ground. Kept rubbing his butt and screaming in pain.

Song Qi smiled and was about to move the coffee table again, Cheng Luoyan said: "No need, the walls of this stone house are too thick, and the ventilation hole can only see the stone beam opposite, and you can't see the things below, which is blocked by the thick wall." ”

Lu Duosun rubbed his ass and said, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Hurt me to fall! ”

Cheng Luoyan said: "I did it on purpose! Who made you say that we women are unreliable! Let you try it reliably! ”

Song Qi said: "Let's smash the door lock!" Isn't it just a lock, Ming said to give the old man a little money, let him buy a new lock and replace it! ”

Everyone said yes, but Shen Lun had no choice but to acquiesce. So, Song Qi picked a stone from the ground, and everyone returned to the house. Song Qi smashed the door lock in two clicks.

Pushing open the two heavy stone doors, Leng Yi walked in.

Although this stone house is made of stone, it is located on the ground, and it is exposed to the scorching sun, and it has not been open for a long time to ventilate, so it is very hot inside. It's even hotter than under the porch outside.

The room is not large, and there is a large vent with a bowl mouth directly above the stone wall opposite. A ray of light shone through the vent, projecting right onto the stacked tablets on the half-human-high table below.

Although the room was dimly lit, it was enough for them to see what was written on the carved tablets of mahogany.

There is a large tablet in the center, which reads: "The ancestor of the ancestors surnamed Zhen has been examined by the ancestors." The signs next to them are written such as "Great-Ancestor Kao XX's Divine Position" and so on. Sure enough, it is the ancestors of the Zhen family

Cheng Luoyan slapped her hands and said, "Great! See, there are so many tablets! What else do you have to say? Drink! A pot per person! ”
