Chapter 2 Tang-style Old Mansion Chapter 4 Backyard Well
Wang Daling glanced at Sister Li and younger brother beside him, he was indeed a little weird, but maybe it was because he broke his leg, so he was so autistic, right? It's understandable, who can still smile all day long after breaking their legs, so they don't care.
Suddenly! The old man stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Daling's arm, the old man's hand was unusually dry, like a dead branch, his palm was extremely cold, as if there was no body temperature, this could frighten Wang Daling, he didn't know what he wanted, so he didn't dare to breathe, sat motionless in his seat, and looked at the old man blankly, and at this time the old man was also staring at Wang Daling with his white eyes, and there was an inexplicable fear in the atmosphere.
Finally, the old man slowly spoke: "Master, there are very evil sects in this courtyard! Since that day, there has been movement in this field, although my eyes cannot see, but this ear does not back, it is the sound of thousands of troops, master, you should be careful! I... I still want to live in my old age! ”
These words instantly collapsed Wang Daling's nerves to the extreme, if he wanted to say that someone was making trouble, fighting or something, he had never been false, but as long as he was stained with this ghostly thing, he was like a different person, at this time, when the old man said this, he couldn't stop breaking out in cold sweat in his palms. Fortunately, the ghost Shuo on the side was relieved, and he hurriedly held the old man's hand and said with relief: "Uncle, don't worry, we have this matter!" ”
After hearing this, the old man slowly let go of the hand that was holding Wang Daling's arm. Wang Daling felt extremely embarrassed, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced out of the door, at this time it was dark outside the house, he quickly turned his head to Sister Li and said: "Sister Li, you see it's dark today, why don't you turn on the light, this black light is not comfortable staying blind!" ”
Sister Li was stunned, and her face was embarrassed: "Master, I'm really sorry, our yard is a single family, there is no electricity, and even drinking water is by the well in the backyard!" ”
"But... I saw an electricity meter outside the door just now? Wang Daling asked puzzled.
"Ah, that... It's new, and it's not officially powered yet, so the master has to grieve you for one night! Sister Li said.
Wang Daling gasped, remembering that he wanted to stay in this weird house in the dark for a night, he couldn't help but feel a chill, it seems that 20,000 yuan is really not so easy to earn, he secretly made up his mind, when he leaves here tomorrow morning, he must see a psychiatrist!
While a few people were talking, Sister Li's younger brother had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and walked out of the restaurant slowly, the whole process was like a walking corpse, without a trace of anger, seeing him go out, Sister Li sighed: "He wasn't the whole thing before, since that car accident... Forget it, let's not mention the past, let's eat some of the two masters. I'll take you back to your room in a moment, tonight... There are two masters, Lao. ”
The two of them didn't answer, just nodded quietly and continued to eat.
Half an hour later, the two were guided to a small room next door to the restaurant, which was very shabbyly furnished, with only a bunk for two and a table, which also had no electric lights and could only be lit by oil lamps. Sister Li moved the tools they wanted, and then said: "I can only grieve the two masters for one night, the two masters will rest for a while, I'll clean up, and then take the two masters to the backyard to have a look." Ghost Shuo nodded, and Sister Li closed the door and went out.
As soon as Sister Li left, Wang Daling came over and said in a low voice: "Ah ghost, I think we should go, I don't know why here, I feel too evil!" ”
Ghost Shuo looked at Wang Daling coldly, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, what kind of evil sect method?" ”
"No electricity! It's black, isn't it... Isn't that evil enough? Wang Daling responded.
Ghost Shuo shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "I often wonder, how did you get into the police academy in the first place?" ”
"What's wrong with my pig brain? I was the first in the whole police academy in the three events of physical fitness test, fighting, and shooting... Hey, no! Who do you say is Pig Brain? You make it clear! Wang Daling did not forgive.
But Ghost Shuo didn't entangle with him, and the conversation changed sharply, and he said in a low voice: "Don't you think it's strange? It is such a big Bai gathering village, why is there only this old house with a different style? Is it the old house that came first, or the Bai village that came first? ”
"What's wrong with that? Couldn't the owner of the house be a Bai and then like this style of house? Wang Daling answered.
Ghost Shuo didn't raise his head, and continued: "It's the same family in a village, but there is no one living in such a big distance around, this is a little weird, there are few such things in the countryside!" Wang Daling was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Ghost Shuo raising his hand, "Although she said that this is her family's land, it is difficult to make sense!" The architectural style of this house is very similar to the style of the Han and Tang dynasties, judging from the brick and tile materials, at least it was built in the Ming Dynasty, but at that time to build such a large house, how could it be built so simply, unless... ”
"Unless what?" Wang Daling hurriedly leaned forward with concern.
"Unless... It's not for people! Oni Shuo replied in a low voice.
"! Building a house is not for people to live in, can't it be for ghosts to live... Ghost!! Speaking of this, Wang Daling was a little scared in his own heart, so he said in a trembling voice: "Ah... Hell, this black light is blinding, and in this kind of hellish place, don't scare me! ”
Ghost Shuo glanced up at Wang Daling, and continued: "Let me ask you, there are only three people in the family, an old man is blind, a younger brother is lame, and he is not rich in money, why do you want to repair the old mansion?" Is this necessary? Besides, there are not a few rooms in this old mansion, even if it needs to be repaired, why go to the backyard to dig the ground, it doesn't make sense logically! ”
"Huh? After you reminded me of this, this is indeed a little strange, isn't it? Wang Daling said in a low voice.
Ghost Shuo raised his hand and pointed to the roof, and said, "Look closely, what is that?" ”
Wang Daling raised his head, looked at the top of his head for a while, and replied, "No... Nothing? Only the roof. ”
"Look closely, there's a cut light line on the roof!" Oni Shuo said.
"Yes, yes, yes! There is indeed a section of light line! If you don't talk about me, I really didn't pay attention! Wang Daling said happily.
"If you have an electric box, why not use electricity? Originally, there was a light line, why did it cut it again? There is only one possibility ... Ghost Shuo said slowly.
"To save money on electricity bills?" Wang Daling blurted out!
As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door "bang, bang, bang", interrupting the two of them, Ghost Shuo hurriedly gave Wang Daling a look, Wang Daling stepped forward and opened the door, and it was Sister Li standing outside the house, she glanced into the house and said, "Two masters, let's go, I'll take you to the backyard to have a look." Hearing that he was going to the backyard, Wang Daling's face changed in an instant, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the two of them towards the backyard.
Sister Li carried a white paper lantern to lead the way in front, the lights flickered on and off, the environment was indeed a little infiltrating, Wang Daling said in a low voice: "Sister Li, isn't this a flashlight?" Why do you still have a paper lantern? ”
"Huh? What's this? We're used to it. Sister Li's answer made Wang Daling a little speechless.
The three of them finally walked to the hall, the backyard must pass through the hall, Sister Li stretched out her hand and pushed open the door of the hall, there was a huge mural on the wall facing the door, the mural has been some years, the pigment is much darker, but you can still see the general content of the painting. I saw a human figure on the wall, his eyes closed, sitting on a well, there was no text on the mural, so he couldn't judge the identity of the person in the painting for a while, but the composition style of this Taoist priest sitting on the well is indeed rare, so Ghost Shuo also stood on the picture and looked at it carefully for a while.
In addition to this mural, there is nothing in the whole hall, it seems to be extremely empty, the back of the mural is the door to enter the backyard, Sister Li led the two people in, but this backyard is almost the same except that it is smaller than the front yard, the only difference is that the stone platform in the courtyard has been replaced by a well. Ghost Shuo approached the well, looked inside, and walked around the well again, before asking, "Sister Li, where is the place you dug?" ”
Sister Li stretched out her hand and pointed to a corner of the courtyard, Ghost Shuo walked over quickly, squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, there were indeed traces of the soil turned here, Ghost Shuo picked up the soil and looked at it carefully for a while, sighed meaningfully, and straightened up.
Sister Li hurriedly spoke: "That stone tablet is below here, and the place where the movement is made is in the front yard, I wonder if the two masters have found anything?" ”
Ghost Shuo didn't answer, but changed the conversation and asked, "Sister Li, was the ring you wearing on your hand left to you by the old man?" ”
Ghost Shuo's question was a little unexpected by Sister Li, she subconsciously withdrew her hand and said in a low voice: "This... This is what my mom left me before, just think! ”
"Can you lend me one night? Maybe... It works! Ghost Shuo asked in a low voice, while his eyes were firmly fixed on Sister Li.
Sister Li was a little embarrassed by what he said, and was stunned for a long time before muttering, "Can this ring be useful?" ”
"Maybe, I'll return it tomorrow morning, don't worry!" Onishuo continued.
Sister Li still looked a little embarrassed, but seeing that Guishuo was so persistent, she still reluctantly took off the ring from her finger and instructed: "Master, this is... My mom left it to me, you don't... ”
"It must be all over Zhao! Rest assured! Then it's okay now, let's go back to the room first, and wait for it to move! Oni Shuo answered.
Sister Li nodded lightly, and glanced at the ring in Ghost Shuo's hand again, looking a little apprehensive, but she still had to lead the two back to the guest room.
