Chapter 352: Drunk and Haunted House
Song Qiwu didn't believe it: "It's impossible, how can anyone move his family out and not take away the ancestral tablet!" He stepped in, walked around the futon on the ground, walked to the table, and now he saw clearly, and there were indeed some tablets on it!
Song Qi turned around and muttered to Leng Yi with some frustration: "You won!" We drink! ”
Cheng Luo was overjoyed and ran to the porch to help them get the wine jug.
"Why didn't they take the ancestral tablet?" Xiang Gong muttered strangely: "The Zhen family moved south, and all the valuable things were taken away, and there was only an empty house left here." But the ancestral tablet was left, why is this? ”
Shen Lun laughed and said, "It can only show that the descendants of the Zhen family are not filial...... ”
As soon as he said this, it seemed that something in the empty lobby sounded, and it seemed that someone snorted heavily. For a moment, everyone's hair stood on end.
At this time, Cheng Luoyan ran in with a few pots of wine, and happily handed them to Zhao Pu: "Huh! Drink it! ”
Shen Lun's face was a little pale, and he asked in a low voice: "Miss Cheng, there is ...... in the lobby, is there no one?" ”
"People? Who is it? Aren't they all here? ”
"When you came in, you didn't see anyone else in the lobby, did you?"
"No one...... the smile on Cheng Luoyan's face disappeared, shrunk back, approached Leng Yi, and said, "Lord Shen, you ......, don't scare people!" ”
Zhao Pu at the door looked outside, and it was empty, changed the topic, and asked Leng Yi: "Lord Leng, can you tell me, how did you know that there was a tablet in the house?" ”
Leng Yi said: "It's very simple, that Lao Lizheng said that the Zhen family built this stone house because of the lack of soil in the five elements." It is specially used to store the tablet of the ancestors. In other words, there will be no other storage in this house except the ancestral tablets. They moved their family south, and if they took the tablet with them, then there was no need to lock the stone house. - What does it do with the empty stone house lock? Now it's locked. There is something else in the description. And there will be nothing but tablets. ”
Cheng Luoyan tilted his head and said, "Can't you store other sundries?" ”
Leng Yi said: "This is the thing that stores the tablet, and the other rooms of the Zhen Mansion are empty, so they can be stored, why should they be placed in the room where the ancestral tablet is stored?" Isn't that disrespectful? ”
"Will they be because this house is a stone house, which is relatively strong. So store everything valuable here and lock it up! ”
"Do you think this copper lock is strong? Can you keep thieves at bay? ”
"That's too!" Cheng Luochang said.
The locks in ancient times were all anti-gentleman and not villain, not to mention smashed with stones, it was unarmed, with great strength, and it could be unscrewed with a violent twist. So. But when you go out, you generally don't go out with your family. Keep someone to look after the house. If you have to go out with your family, you usually have someone to take care of you. Of course, if the Zhen family moves out of the country, the valuables will definitely have to be disposed of or placed in the homes of reliable relatives, not here.
Leng Yi walked in and looked up. Although this is a stone house made of bluestone slabs, the entire frame is still built according to the sample of an ordinary house, and there are several girders across it, but it is already covered with cobwebs. The futon on the ground was also covered with dust. In the corner next to the two stone doors, there was a long latch.
Leng Yi was very strange and said, "This is the place where the ancestral tablet is placed, and it doesn't live in." It makes sense to lock it from the outside, so why put a latch on the inside? It's weird! ”
"This haunted house is full of evil doors!" Xiang Gong smiled reluctantly.
Chen Congxin said mysteriously: "You don't know this, right?" The ancestral tablet is not only for worship, but sometimes it is also used for other purposes! ”
"What's the use? Catching ghosts? Ludosun scoffed.
"That's right!" Chen Congxin looked even more mysterious, "In our hometown." The ancestral hall where the ancestral tablet is enshrined is also the place where the fairy girl dances the great god psychic and talks to the ancestors! But whenever someone in the family falls ill inexplicably, and the treatment is ineffective, it is often necessary to ask the fairy girl to dance the great god, communicate with the ancestors, and ask the ancestors what is going on, whether they can bless and bless them. These things are all carried out in the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestral tablets. ”
Chen Congxin looked up at the tablet, and said: "This kind of psychic, others can't participate, otherwise, the ancestors will not show their spirits to the second, in case there is something dirty to borrow outsiders to enter the ancestral hall and defile the ancestral hall, the ancestors will be angry, and the descendants will be unlucky!" Therefore, when channeling, the door of the room should be closed from the inside. ”
Everyone nodded and said to Gong again: "Then why don't they take the tablet away?" Do you know? ”
Chen Congxin smiled and shook his head: "Everyone has their own **, many reasons can't be told to outsiders......"
Xiang Gong pouted and didn't say anything more.
Leng Yi has been carefully observing this stone house. He crouched down and examined it carefully, and suddenly, his body trembled, and his eyes fell on the faint footprints on the ground!
The footprints, although they had been covered by dust, could barely be seen that the earthy yellow color on them was in the middle of the room!
Leng Yi's stagnant gaze attracted the attention of Cheng Luoyan, who was standing behind him, and his gaze also fell on it, remembering the ghost story he had heard earlier about the young grandmother of the Zhen family who came out of the room after her death. couldn't help but be creepy, and screamed.
Her voice attracted several people to come, and she also found the footprints on the ground.
Could it be that the ghost story turned out to be true?
Leng Yi saw Cheng Luoyan's face pale with fright, and hurriedly got up and said, "There are no windows here, it's very stuffy, let's go out." Find a cool place to eat and drink. ”
Everyone said yes, come out quickly. After leaving the lobby and coming to the porch, I breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lu Duosun said: "It's too depressing inside, but it's still comfortable under this corridor!" Relaxed! Come on! Drink! ”
A few of them drank the pot of wine they had just lost in the bet, and they were already drunk, and after drinking this pot of wine, they staggered even more. Two even snoozed against the wall.
The head was slightly westward, and finally, the last rays of sunlight disappeared from the treetops. Only the sky is full of colorful clouds.
The courtyard suddenly darkened. Xiang Gong looked around, and his voice trembled a little: "Let's spend the night under this corridor tonight?" ”
Ludosun was sleeping against the wall under the porch when he heard this. He looked up and said, "How can I do that!" Let's go! Let's find a place to sleep! There are so many rooms, I have seen many rooms with beds, although there is no cover, but on this hot day, you can still sleep without a cover. ”
"How many people sleep in one room?" to the archway.
"How many people? One room per person, of course. - Such a large mansion is enough for one of us. Of course, if you're scared and want to sleep with someone else, that's fine. Anyway, I'm not used to sleeping with other people. ”
"Who said I was scared!" The last thing Xiang Gong wanted to hear was to ridicule him for being timid, "I naturally want to sleep alone." Walk around. Have enough food and drink, find a place to sleep!
Everyone said that it was reasonable, so they all stood up and searched for the backyard together, which was actually a small courtyard behind the lobby. It's about the same as all the houses of that era. The front is the living room, and the two compartments are the study bedroom. In the middle is the patio, and on both sides are the wings.
Xiang Gong said: "How do we sleep?" Who sleeps in the main room? ”
Lu Duosun sneered: "Listen to you, naturally you are asleep." If you want to sleep, you can sleep, no one will rob you! ”
Xiang Gong said: "I sleep more domineeringly, I often lie down with my head on this side, but when I wake up, my head is on the other side." Hehe, so, my bed in my house is very big, I think the bed in this main hall is good, big enough, or I'll sleep there. - Lord Leng, I see that there is a bed in the study, why don't you sleep there? ”
Lu Duosun said: "You want to sleep in a big bed again." I'm afraid of ghosts, so I want to find a companion, right? However, you said that in the study, the bed is too small to sleep with two couples. Otherwise, you can exchange with Lord Leng! ”
Xiang Gong was a little embarrassed and looked at Leng Yi.
Leng Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, I see that the bed in the study is big enough, and we can sleep as a couple." ”
Xiang Gong said a few more polite words, and he was not humble, and said: "I don't know if there are lanterns here?" Wait a while when it gets dark, and you can't see it in the dark! ”
"If you're afraid, just say it!" Lu Duosun sneered again: "I originally said that I would see who has the courage in this ghost, but you still want to light the lamp." It's better to go back to sleep! ”
Xiang Gong glared: "Who is afraid?" Isn't this for the sake of other people's concubines? We're not afraid of the dark, we have to think about others! ”
Cheng Luoyan smiled and said, "I'm with my officials, I'm not afraid." No lanterns. ”
Lu Duosun glanced at Gong with a sneer, and turned into his room.
Xiang Gong and Leng Yi slept in the master bedroom and study on both sides of the main hall. Ludosun and the others slept in the wings on either side.
The ancients all said that they came out and did it, and they said that they fell and rested. In addition, they are all drunk, and they say that they will not be allowed to light the lamp, so they will have nothing to do but go to bed.
Cheng Luoyan simply cleaned up the room and found a rag to sweep the dust off the bed and seats. Although the place where they lived was a study, there was not a single book left, and the heavy and tall bookshelves were empty with dust, and the desks were empty, but there was a stack of yellowed rice paper. On the pen holder, there are also a few brushes. On one side, the relatively rudimentary inkstone, the ink on it had already dried up and was full of dust.
Cheng Luoyan stood beside him, looked at all this, sighed, and said: "The master of the past doesn't know where he has gone now, and he still leaves the four treasures of the study room here, and you can imagine the prosperity of the day." ”
Leng Yi said: "It's not prosperous, after this Zhen house is repaired, it will be a haunted connection." The people of the Zhen family all ran away. ”
"Say, whose place is this?"
"This is the master bedroom of the main hall, which is naturally the residence of the master of the Zhen family."
Cheng Luoyan shuddered and said in a low voice: "Could it be the residence of the old lady who disappeared mysteriously in the end?" ”
"Yes, but the old lady was paralyzed in bed, so she couldn't sleep with us! Most likely, it is sleeping in the ......" Leng Yi is sleeping in the master bedroom Nunu mouth towards the arch.
Cheng Luoyan showed a smile on her face: "This person is the most annoying, so he will aim his eyes at people when he has nothing to do." It's the best, ...... tonight" Speaking of this, Cheng Luoyan covered her mouth, turned her head to look, and saw the closed door of the master bedroom on the other side of the main hall outside the door, and lowered her voice and said: "The missing old lady suddenly appeared tonight and scared him half to death!" That's funny! ”
Leng Yi said: "If the old lady suddenly appears and scares him, she won't have to come over to scare us?" When I woke up at night and suddenly saw an old lady standing by the bed, what should I do? ”
Cheng Luoyan threw himself into Leng Yi's arms, and then pushed him away again, smashing him with a pink fist: "I hate it!" Scare people! ”
Leng Yi said: "Just kidding, there are ghosts in this world, they are all made up by people to scare people." ”
"Who says there are no ghosts? If there are no ghosts, how can they say it vividly, especially that Chen Congxin Chen, who said something with a nose and eyes, just like the real thing! ”
"How do you know the ghost story he's telling isn't true?" Leng Yi smiled narrowly.
Cheng Luoyan screamed, grabbed him and beat him, but was hugged by Leng Yi and pressed to the bed.
All the bedding on the bed had been removed, and only the wooden planks remained. Getting to it is like lying on the ground. [***] is very uncomfortable.
Cheng Luoyan screamed.
Leng Yi hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Something seems to be pressed against my back!"
"I'll see!" Leng Yi hurriedly got up, asked Cheng Luoyan to get up, leaned in and looked down, but it was a small piece of hard things.
Leng Yi twisted it with his hand, looked at it carefully, and held it in the palm of his hand.
Cheng Luoyan was also very strange: "I obviously cleaned the bed just now?" There could be no such thing, and even more, something so big, where did this come from? - Let me see what! ”
"It's just a small stone," he said, casually throwing the thing under the bed, and said with a smile, "Maybe you didn't pay attention to it just now, and you didn't clean it." ”
The small piece that was thrown by Leng Yi under the dusty bed, lying quietly in the dust, was a small bone!
Cheng Luoyan opened her arms and blushed with shame: "Official! ”
Leng Yi went up, hugged her, and kissed. Then flip her over and let her lie on top of herself.
Cheng Luoyan was intoxicated by Leng Yi's deep kiss, closed her eyes tightly, and savored Leng Yi's kiss. Leng Yi's eyes slowly searched around the roof, but he didn't find anything unusual.
Cheng Luoyan finally panted and moved her mouth away from Leng Yi, lying in his arms with satisfaction, and said in a low voice: "If it was only the two of us, it would be great!" ”
Leng Yi smiled and said, "That's easy, when I'm free, I'll take you out to play alone." Luckily? ”
"Great!" Cheng Luoyan kissed Leng Yi's face, "Sleep like this, you won't catch a cold, right?" ”
Leng Yi wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead: "In such a hot weather, only those who suffer from heat stroke, how can they catch a cold!" ”
