Chapter 161: The Zheng Family's Haunted Mansion
When I came back again, the sky was two colors, one side was still bright, blue mixed with orange and red, and the other side was gray, and a few long strips of clouds were pressing down on the roof.
"Let's take off the sign."
"I'll come."
Sun Da took a ladder and went to pick up the plaque that was still hanging in front of the house, and with two "clicks", the sign of "Zheng Zhai" fell to the ground.
"What about this?"
"Burn it." Crossing the threshold, she entered through the main entrance.
Fangcao followed aside and whispered, "Let's sell it for a few dollars, can't we?" If you can't do it again, chop it as firewood? β
The sky was not completely dark, she asked Fangcao to take her around the house, the others helped prepare dinner, and Sun Er asked people to bring some more dishes.
Sun Xiaohou has not come back yet.
Fangcao said: "Leave him alone, his nose is sharp!" As soon as the dish was served, he returned! β
I walked around the house roughly.
Fangcao pointed to a fenced clearing, turned her face to her, and said with a boo: "That's it, there are several corpses underneath, all white bones, I don't know how long people have been dead." β
"What did the government say?"
"I can't find out who the deceased is, and I haven't found the mother-in-law."
Fangcao took her to the back of the yard again.
The gate of the house was open in the alley, and there were not many people passing by, and there was a row of trees on one side of the backyard, which was separated from the noise from the street.
Sun Er said that the tree is called ghost clapping, and when there is wind at night, there will be a sound of clapping, I heard that ...... If you listen too much, your soul will be taken away and you will become a walking corpse! β
"Why don't you cut it?"
"It's the street outside. Sun Er cut down two trees, and did not continue to cut them. β
She walked around the neighborhood and wanted to take a closer look, but the night had already begun, so she had to give up for now.
Early the next morning.
She ran to the backyard alone, sat on the ground, and stared at the woods.
"Auntie, it's cold here, you, you...... What are you doing here? β
"Why didn't you cut down those trees?"
Sun Er squatted down next to him: "It's good, it's good, it's been a few years, look at it...... Like an ordinary poplar tree, I want to wait for you to come back and see if there is a ...... He is useful. β
"Can poplars hit furniture?"
"I asked someone, it's not very good, the poplar trees are soft, not enough...... Enough...... It's easy to deform, and if you just burn it, you feel ...... It's a pity. β
The backyard is indeed spacious, open space + forest, which is the area of more than 14 of the whole house, and the two yards nearby belong to the kind that is in disrepair and no one lives all year round.
Then again, the back is not very good, the front is still well maintained, and the furniture can be looked at.
"Auntie!"
Sun Xiaohou jumped out.
"Second brother, the stove is smoking, what are you cooking?"
"Huh?" Sun Er ran quickly.
Sun Xiaohou held his stomach and laughed: "He was deceived by me." β
"Why are you kidding him? Turn around and beat you up. β
Sun Xiaohou smiled, and said mysteriously: "Auntie, I'll take you somewhere." β
"Where?"
"One of the places I found! Just come with me! β
There are seven large and small courtyards in the house, and when you walk into the gate and pass through the shadow wall, it is the "living room", the left is the flower hall that receives female guests, and the right side is the study room that receives male guests.
Behind the living room is the courtyard of the main house, three living rooms, with a courtyard on each side of the horizontal side, and the layout is similar.
After that, it can be regarded as entering the "back garden".
On one side there are two adjacent courtyards, and in the corner of the other side, there is a single two-storey attic, in between, there are rockeries, ponds, and more than a dozen or twenty poplars.
The place where Sun Xiaohou took her was near the corner attic.
He lay in front of a circular pool and stretched out his finger to poke the surface of the pool: "Auntie, look, there is ice here!" β
This winter has been colder than usual.
Until now it is close to March, the cold air is still hanging over Huai'an, and an invisible big cover covers the whole city.
Despite this, the surface of the river near Huai'an, where there is little ice, has melted, but the river is colder than before.
She also lay down: "Indeed." β
After poking a few times, I feel that the ice surface should be two or three centimeters later.
At this time, I realized that it seemed to be a little cold.
"Do you feel like it's cold here?"
"I find it colder here than anywhere else!" Love Book House
Sun Xiaohou said, beckoning her to go to a gazebo next to her.
"Look here."
There is a well in the middle of the gazebo.
"Well?"
"Follow me!"
As soon as the words fell, Sun Xiaohou actually jumped into the well all of a sudden!
Suddenly a shudder!
Is Sun Xiaohou possessed by something?!
I'm rushing overβ
Suddenly!
A hand sticks out from the edge of the well!
That hand was swinging at her!
"Auntie, come on!"
"Sun Xiaohou, what are you doing?!!!
My heart is going to beat out!
I walked to the edge of the well and looked inside, and it turned out that the whole well was only more than a head taller than Sun Xiaohou.
There is indeed water underneath.
Just above his knees.
"Auntie...... There's a good place here. β
Lying on the side and watching, I saw that Sun Xiaohou disappeared as soon as he bent over, and after a few seconds, he appeared again.
Hold up a bag.
"You hold it."
She caught the bag of the wet ice hand, and as soon as she put it on the ground, Sun Xiaohou had already crawled out of the well.
"You ......"
Before he could say the words in his mouth, Sun Xiaohou looked at her with a look of excitement.
"Open it up."
There was a smug look in his tone, as if he knew what was inside.
The cloth bag opened.
Inside were pieces of black and swarthy stuff.
"What is this?"
Sun Xiaohou picked up a piece and picked it with his hands.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
"You got it?"
"Wash your hands in a moment."
The weight of the cloth bag is not light, about eight or nine catties.
Inside were chunks of black, swarthy metal - what the hell?
Silver ingots.
"It's worth some money!" Sun Xiaohou smiled, looking like he was begging for praise: "I took a piece of this and exchanged it for three roast chickens!" β
But she couldn't hold back her laughter: "So powerful, three chickens? β
"The shopkeeper said, once raw and twice cooked, next time I go, he can give three and a half roast chickens!"
Holding back a laugh, he continued to ask, "Where are the things hidden?" How did you find out? Didn't tell you Sister Fang? β
Sun Xiaohou touched the back of his head: "She...... The guts are a little bigger than the rats......"
In this kind of place, only a bold and curious child like Sun Xiaohou who has a certain amount of physical strength and spirit can find that no one can change the rest of them.
Who knew the well water was only that shallow?
Who knew there was a passage hidden in the wall of the well?
And there is a space as high as Sun Xiaomonkey in the passage?
There were some belongings inside, a few cloth bags, and a few boxes, but according to Sun Xiaohou's description, most of them were damp, moldy, and rusty bronze ware, and there was also a box of gold and silver jewelry.
Sun Xiaohou can be regarded as a great contribution.
He said triumphantly: "At least enough to buy a hundred roast chickens!" β
She thinks that "gong" is not in this, but in ......
Sun Xiaohou suddenly jumped up: "Oh no, they're here again!" β
