Chapter 24: "Ghost Hunting"
When he returned to the newly bought house, it was already dark, and Xiao Zhenlei originally planned to clean up the yard inside and out immediately after he came back, eradicate the wild artemisia that was tall in Qi people, and then clean up the western-style building, but because of the two Qing Gang members who were following him, it was delayed a lot, and now it was getting late, and it seemed that he had to wait until tomorrow to deal with it.
But decided to move in tonight, Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang roughly cleaned the house overnight, at least there was no dust, but there was still some mess in the house, Ma Xiaoshuang because he only slept for a few hours last night, and today he was busy during the day, and after cleaning the house, he yawned and wanted to sleep, Xiao Zhenlei said to him mysteriously: "Xiaoshuang, didn't you hear Fast say that this place has been haunted before?" Let's hunt ghosts tonight! ”
Ma Xiaoshuang's heart trembled when he heard this, and his face turned pale and said, "Brother, I'm cowardly, don't scare me, there are really ghosts here?" ”
"Follow me!" Xiao Zhenlei took the candlestick and turned around and walked out of the room on the second floor, Ma Xiaoshuang saw that the room was pitch black, and immediately followed. Because it has been uninhabited for a long time, there has been no water and electricity, and the two can only use the candles they find here for lighting, so tomorrow they have to go to the power supply department and the water plant to find someone to turn on the water and electricity.
Walked downstairs to the door of the utility room near the kitchen in the northwest corner of the first floor, Xiao Zhenlei put the candlestick on a broken table, stretched out his hand and pressed down to signal Ma Xiaoshuang to squat, Ma Xiaoshuang didn't know what Xiao Zhenlei was going to do, but he still did it, Xiao Zhenlei immediately blew out the candle, and the corridor suddenly fell into darkness.
For Ma Xiaoshuang, who has lived in the countryside since he was a child and was deeply poisoned by feudal superstition, it was really fatal to stay in a house with ghosts and no fingers, he was trembling all over, and his teeth kept chattering, "Brother, it's too dark, I ...... it"
Without waiting for Ma Xiaoshuang to finish speaking, Xiao Zhenlei, who stayed beside him, said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, the ghost is almost coming out!" ”
These words made Ma Xiaoshuang even more frightened, and leaned closely on Xiao Zhenlei's side, Xiao Zhenlei didn't care, he took a long wooden stick in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't make a noise no matter what happens, otherwise it will be difficult to scare the ghost back and catch him again, you know?" ”
"Know, know, brother!" Ma Xiaoshuang replied so much that even he felt a little lacking in confidence.
Xiao Zhenlei has a great addiction to smoking, but because he wants to catch ghosts, he is worried that smoking will scare the ghosts away, so he endured not smoking, and the two have been squatting without making a sound, and the door of the utility room is so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing can be heard.
I don't know how long it took, suddenly, the pile of firewood and grass in the corner of the utility room suddenly made a noise, and a bundle of firewood and grass was pushed down in the dark, Ma Xiaoshuang was frightened, and just about to shout, Xiao Zhenlei covered his mouth with one hand, and Ma Xiaoshuang stopped shouting.
I felt two people coming out of the pile of firewood and grass in the corner of the utility room, one after the other, and suddenly a dazzling beam of light shot out of the utility room and shone on the wall opposite the door of the utility room.
Immediately afterwards, a woman's complaining voice came from the utility room: "I said that the housekeeper, it really stinks to climb the sewer like this every day, why don't we just live in, how convenient is it to live here and find things?" ”
"Shut up!" A rough man's voice in front of him scolded angrily: "What do you know about this? Any idea what this place is? This is not your house, it's a foreigner! If you move in tomorrow, the owner of the house will know the day after tomorrow, and the trick of pretending to be a ghost will be revealed, understand? What's even more disadvantaged is that all the qiē we did before were in vain, or I couldn't find this batch of treasures, I really couldn't be reconciled, we have killed seventy people before and after, two of them were still scared to death by us, it took us three years before and after, these three years, what kind of life have we lived? ”
Saying that, the man walked out of the utility room, facing the end of the corridor - the direction of the hall, the woman behind didn't know what to follow out of the utility room, at this moment, Xiao Zhenlei raised the wooden stick and knocked down the wooden stick in front of the woman's back, after the top of the head was smashed, the woman immediately fainted, Xiao Zhenlei quickly stepped forward to support her body and let her lie flat on the floor, and then followed the man in front of her quickly and lightly.
The man in front felt that the woman behind him was not moving, so he said loudly: "Hurry up, let's start looking for it from the first floor today, I don't believe that I can't find the location of the treasure!" ”
"No need to look for it!" There was a sound from behind.
"Don't you look for us for what the hell to eat? I rub! The man scolded, but soon felt that something was wrong and immediately turned back, but before he could see what was behind him, he felt a heavy blow to his neck and fainted.
After getting rid of these two "ghosts", Xiao Zhenlei took out a cigarette, lit one, took two puffs, picked up the flashlight on the ground and shouted: "Xiaoshuang, bring the candlestick!" ”
After lighting the candles, the lights in the room turned on, Xiao Zhenlei asked Ma Xiaoshuang to tie the man and the woman with ropes, Ma Xiaoshuang did things very carefully, and he tied the man and woman strongly.
Xiao Zhenlei decided to separate the man and the woman for interrogation, so as to get more information, from some scattered words just heard, he could only know that there was a treasure in this house, but the specific information was not known.
After blocking the woman's mouth and throwing it into the next room, Xiao Zhenlei motioned to Ma Xiaoshuang to wake up the middle-aged man, Ma Xiaoshuang was not ambiguous, and slapped the middle-aged man awake a few times, but this guy didn't open his eyes.
Xiao Zhenlei raised his foot and kicked the middle-aged lewd man and said, "Don't pretend, open your eyes!" ”
The middle-aged man who was tied up obviously knew his situation, and he didn't open his eyes even if he was killed, he closed his eyes tightly and said with a frightened expression: "No, no, no, good man, the little one understands, really understands!" When he opened his eyes and saw the dignity of the good man, the villain was definitely dead, and the good man took a fancy to the villain, even if he took away what he wanted the little man to do, he wanted the little man to do whatever he commanded, as long as the little man could do it, it would be unambiguous to go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pot, as long as the good man didn't let the villain open his eyes.
Xiao Zhenlei was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then couldn't help but scold: "What's the matter, why are people so monkey spirits these days?" Well, if you don't want to open your eyes, don't open them, but if you don't answer my questions honestly, even if you don't open your eyes, you're going to die, you know? ”
The middle-aged lewd man hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I understand, I understand!" The villain understands, what does the good man want to know, just ask, the villain must know everything! ”
"Yo, I can't imagine that you lewd man is a bit literate!" Xiao Zhenlei laughed as he spoke, took a puff of cigarette and asked, "What are you doing in this deserted house?" ”
Although the middle-aged lewd man closed his eyes, he could still turn his eyes, and after hearing Xiao Zhenlei's question, his eyes quickly turned a few times and replied: "The villain saw that this house was built very atmospheric, and it was uninhabited for a long time, and it happened that his hands were a little tight these days, so he moved in and took the sheep."
"It seems that you lewd man is not honest!" Xiao Zhenlei said and took a puff of cigarette, shook his head at Ma Xiaoshuang and said, "Brother, give this guy a little color, otherwise, he won't answer my question honestly!" ”
"Gotcha! Brother, let's see! Ma Xiaoshuang agreed and began to greet the middle-aged lewd man, don't look at Ma Xiaoshuang's simple mind, no scheming, honest, and a little timid, but he is the kind of person who is jealous and hateful, and he is absolutely ruthless to the guy he thinks is a bad person.
"Ah-", "Ah--", "Ah-", "Ah-".
Four punches in a row hit the middle-aged lewd man's abdomen, and the middle-aged lewd man let out four screams, and the corners of his mouth began to bleed, obviously the force of these four punches was not light, and it seemed that the middle-aged lewd man suffered serious internal injuries.
"To say or not to say?" Xiao Zhenlei asked again.
Although the middle-aged lewd man was beaten a lot, he still said the same thing just now, he spent three years looking for treasures, and it was obviously impossible to tell the secret because he was beaten.
Xiao Zhenlei saw that this guy refused to let go, and knew that he had to change his strategy, so he turned his head and said, "Do you think we won't know if you don't say it?" Tell you the truth, before we greeted you, we had already greeted your wife, she couldn't stand it and already said, I ask you now just to see which of the two of you is more credible, since you don't say it, it's useless to keep you, double, put him in a sack and carry him to the river and throw it into the river, remember to tie a stone to the sack before throwing it, so that the sack does not float to the surface and be discovered! ”
Ma Xiaoshuang saw Xiao Zhenlei frowning, and immediately agreed: "Understood!" As he spoke, he really found a sack and put it on the middle-aged lewd man's body, put it in, and then tied the mouth of the sack tightly and carried it on his shoulders and walked out.
The middle-aged lewd man was frightened, although he loved money very much, but he was more desperate for his life, the treasure was good, but there was only one life, and there was no treasure without life, it was someone else's, he was put in a sack and immediately shouted: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, good man!" I say, I say, I say all! ”
After the middle-aged lewd man was released, the bamboo tube poured beans and generally said the secret again, it turned out that they did come to this house to find treasure, since it is a treasure, then there must be a lot of treasure, so the place required for treasure must not be small, and this yard covers an area of twenty-three acres, and the building area of the house is about 1,000 square meters, and a lot of things can be hidden here.
According to the middle-aged lewd man, the treasure is the property of the Little Knife Society, when the Little Knife will be trapped in Shanghai County, its leader transported a large amount of property to the concession through the secret channel to entrust a friend - a foreign monk to keep it, and then the foreign monk married a Qing woman in the concession and began to spread the branches, but this secret has not been leaked until half a century later, when the descendants of the leader who transported this treasure got the news that the treasure was hidden in this house, they are the middle-aged lewd man and his wife, they want to get the treasure, He did not hesitate to poison the descendants of the foreign monk and a family of sixty-eight people, and the house was later auctioned off by the concession authorities to another foreigner, so the couple dug a tunnel every night to come out and pretend to be a ghost, and once the second owner of the house was scared to death, and Mads's father, who later bought the third owner of the house, was also scared to death less than half a month after buying the house, and since then the rumor that the house is haunted has spread all over Shanghai.
The treasure was hidden on the twenty-three acres of land, but they had been searching for more than two years but could not find where it was hidden.
