Cheng Dexuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yes, after that incident, Old Man Zhen was angry and afraid, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and soon he died." One of the family disappeared and one died, and the people in the Zhen house panicked, and many family members were scared and left the Zhen house for various reasons. Originally, there were not many people in Zhen's house, and this time, there was no one left. Gradually, they were all gone, and only an old man who was a janitor remained. Unexpectedly, after two years, this old man went crazy inexplicably. In this way, no one dares to live there anymore. The Zhen family wanted to sell this house, and the bid was already very low, but no one bought it. And so, the whole house was deserted. However, there are some bold children who often climb over the wall to play, saying that it is very cool on a hot day inside, especially the house where the old lady disappeared, which is steaming outside and windy inside. Shen Lun also said: "Yes, I heard that the children who secretly went in to play fell ill when they came back." Got a chill! - On a hot day, it's cold, and you think, how cold it must be in there. So, old Lu, if you're greedy for coolness, go there. It's cold to keep you! Lu Duosun also drank too much, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but stare at him: 'Scare me? What the hell is there? Lao Tzu doesn't believe it,—— dare? Guys, let's go there and cool off! Chen Congxin also drank a lot, and said happily: "What don't you dare!" If you dare, I will dare! The blue sky is white, there is a reason to be afraid of ghosts! Let's go! As soon as Lu Duosun heard that people agreed, he suddenly became even more energetic, pointing at Zhao Puhe and Xiang Gong and said: "You two old guys, you will definitely not dare, those who are about to die are the most afraid of ghosts!" Xiang Gong was famously lustful, and his eyes had never left the beautiful maid who was waiting beside him since he had eaten and drunk, and when he heard this, he glared at him and said, 'What do you say?' You! Who's going to die? It's about yourself! Lao Tzu is far from living enough! There are so many beauties in the world, Lao Tzu hasn't enjoyed enough. How to die? Lu Duosun laughed: "It's you who are reluctant to be beautiful, so you are even more afraid of death, anyway, if you are afraid of ghosts, don't go, it's good to be here alone and sweat and fan to see women!" Xiang Gong was actually very afraid of ghosts, but he wouldn't admit it at this time, wiped a handful of sweat, and glanced at Zhao Pu: "I'll go if he goes!" Who's afraid of whom? Zhao Pu smiled and said, "I'm thin, I'm not afraid of the heat, it's good here, I don't need to go to a haunted house to cool off." Chen Congxin said: "For Lu Duoxun, he is going to enjoy the coolness, and for us, it is more daring than anyone!" Nothing to do, take a look at this famous haunted house and see what the hell is going on. Go, go, go! Everybody, go! - Old Zhao, don't spoil everyone's interest! Let's go together! Zhao Pu twisted his beard and said: "If you want to say that it is for the coolness, I am not interested, but if you want to say that it is to explore the secret, it is not bad." He slowly turned his head to look at Leng Yi next to him, and said, "Brother Leng, what do you say?" To go or not to go? Leng Yi shrugged: "I don't care, but it's rare for everyone to get together, organize some activities, and connect with each other's feelings, that's very good." What's more, haunted house adventures like this one are even more exciting. Lu Duosun was even more interested, and said: "That's right, Zhao Pu and Xiang Gong, you two old ghosts, you don't have to say anything now, do you?" Let's go! Xiang Gong looked at Zhao Pu. Zhao Pudao: 'What are you afraid of? In broad daylight, what is there to be afraid of? Just go! Shen Lun laughed and instructed the servants to go and tell those ladies and ladies that they were going to move to the ghost house to eat and drink. This time, Shen Lun invited husband and wife, and the female dependents were all concentrated in the inner house.

When the servants heard that they were going to the haunted house, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale, but they didn't dare to say no, so they could only pick up wine and eat with their heads, and were about to go out.

Cheng Luojie was originally eating and talking with the wives and concubines of those ministers, but when she heard that Leng Yi and they were going to the haunted house, she immediately rushed over.

Leng Yi smiled: "Why are you here?" ”

Cheng Luoyan said with a smile: "I heard that the ghost house is very cool, I am panicking hot, so I will go with you." ”

Xiang Gongdao: "Won't it?" That's a haunted house, your official face is already white, you go too, aren't you afraid? ”

Cheng Luoyan looked at him with a smile: "If you want to talk about guts, I don't know anything else, I don't dare to talk nonsense, our family officials are very bold." Back then, how many murders did he investigate and deal with in Yinling County, and which of those was not bloody dead people? If you want to scare my officials in this way, it is useless. It's you, Lord Xiang, I heard that ghosts like to eat fat people the most, and if a fat person like you goes, I'm afraid it will take several ghosts to eat it all! ”

For a while, Xiang Gong's face changed a little, Leng Yi patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'm joking, besides, didn't you say it, Qingtian Bai, don't be afraid, even if there are ghosts, don't dare to come out!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiang Gong nodded, and didn't dare to argue with Cheng Luoyan anymore, for fear that she would come up with more scary words.

This Zhen house is located at the foot of the remote city wall, generally speaking, close to the city wall, are the common people live, because the city wall blocks the sun in winter and the wind in summer, and the light is not good, once the war is fought, the first rocket shot by the enemy outside the city is the house near the city wall, and the officers and soldiers defending the city need to demolish the house to resist the enemy, using rolling wood or something, the first to requisition is also the house near the city wall, so the houses in this area are generally only lived by poor people, and the rich people are looking for a good location, close to the palace lot. This old man Zhen has only been a Hanlin for five generations, he is a poor official, he has worked all his life, and he has not earned much money. Unexpectedly, it was a haunted house.

They rode in a carriage until they reached the Zhen house by the city wall.

On the edge of the high city wall, the high courtyard wall, the city wall is built of green bricks, the courtyard wall is also green bricks, and the same is covered with moss, on the top of the courtyard wall, there is green grass, gently swaying in the breeze from time to time.

The old man who guarded the ghost house had gone crazy, and the child who climbed over the wall to go in was also sick, and no one dared to enter it, so there was no one to guard the ghost house, and the local people came to look outside the gate from time to time.

After the group arrived, Lu Duosun was the most anxious, and ran up the steps first, and saw a copper lock hanging on the door, which was already rusty. He put his ear to the wooden door and peeked in, but no sound came out. However, there is a slight cool breeze coming from the crack of the door, which makes people feel refreshed.

It was this chilly cold wind that made Lu Duoxun, who was so hot that he stuck out his tongue, suddenly saw hope, and said to Shen Lun anxiously: "How do you get in?" Smashed the door lock, right? ”

Shen Lun smiled and said, "Although this is a ghost mansion, it also has an owner in the end." How can you break into the door by the way? ”

"Does the Zhen family still have relatives here?"

Song Qi said: "No, they all moved to their hometown in the south." Here, I entrusted the street to help take care of the sale, but it has not been sold. If we want to go in and enjoy the coolness, we have to talk to the chief first. ”

Shen Lun said: "I have already sent someone to call it." ”

Lu Duosun shook his fan very anxiously, kept looking at the entrance of the alley on the high platform, and muttered: "Why haven't you come yet?" What the hell, why haven't you come yet! ”

Finally, the servant came running with an old man out of breath. The old man was sweating hotly, and when he suddenly saw so many high-ranking officials, he was even more frightened, and he was busy kneeling down and kowtowing.

Shen Lun's official family helped him up and said, "The weather is too hot, the old man heard that the Zhen house you are taking care of is very cool, so I want to go in to enjoy the coolness, anyway, the master is not there, and the house is empty, so it will not disturb the master." Do you think it's okay? ”

In the face of so many high-ranking officials, there is no reason to say a word, and he quickly nodded as if pounding garlic, but after nodding, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had just reacted, these adults were going to this ghost mansion, his face suddenly turned a lot whiter, and he shook his head like a rattle.

Lu Duoxun's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "What? Can't we go in? ”

Seeing Lu Duosun like this, he was so frightened that Lao Li hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The little ones don't dare to stop your lords, it's just that this is a haunted mansion, and it's haunted inside, and the dead are dead, and the dead are dead." It's really evil. Ladies and gentlemen, don't go in, otherwise, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, in case there is a good one, the little one can't afford it! ”

"You don't need to bear it! All you need to do is open the courtyard door! Hurry up! ”

Lao Lizheng didn't seem to react at once, just kowtowed with a bitter face, saying that it was very evil inside, and for the safety of all of you, don't go in.

Ludosun couldn't do anything about him for a while.

Leng Yi stepped forward, held a folding fan, squatted down, and fanned Lao Lizheng who was kneeling on the ground: "Old man, you said that the people in Zhen's house, the dead, the dead, the dead, the dead you said, you mean the disappearance, right?" ”

"yes, yes! The good ones suddenly disappeared, don't you say the evil door? And it's not just one person! In this way, who would dare to live in such a place. - Ouch, the little one doesn't dare to let the big man fan the wind, thank you so much! The little ones don't dare. Lao Li was waving his hands.

Leng Yi ignored him and continued to fan. Said: "I only heard that the people in this Zhen house just disappeared mysteriously, but I haven't heard that there are still people who died inside, except for the old lady who died of illness, this is not counted, the old man died at home, this is called the end of life, it is a happy funeral, it is not a haunting." ”

"Not really!" Lao Lizheng showed a terrifying look in his eyes, "I have lived here for most of my life, watching this Zhen mansion be built, listening to him haunted, still ......, and seeing it with my own eyes, it is really terrifying!" ”

Xiang Gong shuddered for a moment, and said reluctantly: "You old man, what nonsense? Did you see the haunting with your own eyes? ”

"Yes, sir!" Lao Li was turning his head and kowtowing to him, "The little one doesn't dare to lie!" ”

"Get up and speak!" Leng Yi helped him stand up, "What the hell is going on?" You talk about it, let's hear it. ”

"Okay," the old man stared at the mottled door in front of him with round eyes, and slowly recalled: "That was more than 20 years ago, when I was still young, and the aunt in Zhen's house suddenly fell ill and died. In my sleep, I suddenly heard someone screaming, which woke me up, I looked up, I don't know what happened, the lights in the mourning hall had all been extinguished, and the white cloth hanging on the beams of the house fell off somehow and fell on the black coffin. The dead aunt is lying in the coffin! At this time, I heard the screams and did not stop, so I looked over, and saw a little maid in charge of the Zhen family's guard, standing there wearing linen and filial piety, probably scared stupid, fingering forward, kept screaming, there were two maids lying on the ground, and later I learned that they were scared to death,—— I remember the older one, the name seems to be ......, called Chun Tao ......, and it looks like that water spirit......"

"Let you talk about haunted things, what are you talking about Chun Tao!" Chen Congxin interrupted him.

"Yes, yes!" Lao Li was scratching his head, hehe laughed dryly, and then he was about to speak, but when Chen Congxin interrupted him like this, he forgot where he was talking about, looked at them in a daze, and stammered: "I ......, where did I go?" ”

"That maid screamed and woke you up." Leng Yi reminded.

"Yes, yes!" Lao Li Zheng gave Leng Yi a grateful look, and then said: "I saw her frightened look, so I looked in the direction of her finger. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look almost scared me out. Oh my mother! I've never seen anything so scary, I know why Chun Tao was scared crazy, because I was almost scared crazy......"

Lu Duosun stomped his feet and said, "You're not crazy, we're going to be driven crazy by you!" - You're in a hurry to talk about hauntings, and keep talking about what you're doing! ”

"Yes, yes!" Lao Li was wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead, staring at them with his mouth open and not speaking, it was obvious that he had forgotten where he had said again.

Leng Yi said on the side: "The Chun Tao you said, has she been scared crazy?" ”

"Yes! Not to mention her, I was also scared to lie in bed for a whole month after that day, and then I got better. Chun Tao is not so lucky! Alas! Lao Li Zheng looked sorry, "She died until the next day before she woke up, and after waking up, she went crazy, hiding in the quilt and not daring to come out, as long as she showed her head, she said that there was a young grandmother in the house, and it was the dead aunt." I didn't dare to go out, I even pulled and urine on the bed, and after a year, I was scared to death like this! ”
