Chapter 453: The Ancient Mansion
Speaking of this, Situ Cao took a deep breath with some sighs, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but it was more bitter and helpless.
The other of us looked at each other and guessed something.
I always thought that Situ Cao looked so gentle and elegant, generous and decent, and she should not have experienced any twists and turns since she was a child, but now it sounds like she must have a bitter past that we don't know in the past.
However, when Situ Cao said this, he did not continue to speak.
She looked at me and quietly glanced at the driver in the cab in front of her, who was always staring at me.
I nodded knowingly, and turned my head to look at the others: "We have already learned about their family's affairs, as for other things, let's go back and talk about it later!" ”
The rest of the people nodded in rare tacit agreement, but they didn't say anything.
Because, I can feel it, they have all discovered a secret.
Or rather, a law.
Whether it is from the family relationship or the fate of the characters, Situ Cao's experience is very similar to Mina.
And that's not all.
In my mind, I suddenly thought that when the horror game of "Escape from the Welfare Home" was about to end, Situ Cao's behavior was also very strange.
If the worried and sad look she showed was because of Situ Shanping, then why did she stay in that room until later when the game was about to end?
She......
I glanced at Situ Cao with a faint glance, and I always felt that there was some kind of secret hidden in her that we didn't know yet.
Fragments of memories in the brain keep emerging, from Situ Cao, to Mina, to Du Deming, to other people, does all this have anything to do with the "True Demon"?
Bang.
The bodies of several of us jerked into the air as the road bumped, and the next second our buttocks slammed into the stool.
The flesh on his buttocks was smashed painfully, and Zhang Qiang couldn't help screaming in an instant.
"I'll go, isn't this cheat?! The people of the Situ family are too unkind to see us, right? Zhang Qiang rubbed his buttocks and turned his head to look at Situ Cao: "By the way, how long will it take to get to your ancestral house?" ”
"yes, we should have been driving this car for more than an hour or two, right?" I also looked at Situ Cao.
Situ Cao opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Du Deming patted my arm.
"Hey, Gao Wei! Look ahead, isn't there some light not far from there? The sharp-eyed Du Deming pointed to a place in front of him and shouted excitedly.
When everyone heard this, they quickly looked over there.
Sure enough, as Du Deming said, there is indeed a light over there, not only that, but there are quite a few!
I squinted and looked closely, and after two seconds, I suddenly realized something.
"It looks like a small town up ahead!! You see, there is a huge plaque in the front right, is the ancestral house of the Situ family in the town? Recalling the story Situ Cao just told, I couldn't help but make bold guesses.
Situ Cao also looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally she nodded: "It should be, although I only came here once when I was a teenager, but this place is very similar to what I remember, it should be the town where the ancestral home of the Situ family is located!" ”
Knowing that we were almost at our destination, we all started to get a little nervous at the beginning of our lives.
While our thoughts were flying, the Situ family's motorcade had already turned to the right along the somewhat potholed road.
Half a minute later, we had already passed the huge plaque and followed the car into the town that made us a little curious.
However, not long after I entered, my face changed and I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
There are many new two- and three-story buildings in the town, as well as dilapidated houses in the past, and of course one or two apartment buildings with more than ten storeys high.
But these are not the most important things, what is important is ...... Whether it's an old-fashioned self-built house in the past, or a newly renovated house now.
Each of them has a white flag hanging in the window or at the door!!
His pupils shrank suddenly, and his memory suddenly returned to the time before he entered the "horror reality show" game.
At that time, we also inadvertently broke into a weird town that was almost deserted and met the eccentric old man.
Although later, we have learned that the real identity of the old man is the player Li Maocai.
And the only difference between this town and the previous town is that there are still faint lights in the windows of some people's houses.
Is there any connection between this?
The others were visibly reminded of the white flags that made their scalps tingle.
Just when the six of us were restless, the Situ family's motorcade had almost crossed the streets of the entire town.
We are wondering, do we have to go forward?
But at this moment, the convoy turned neatly on a small path to the left, quickly drove over the slope in front of the trees, and drove a distance of about a few hundred meters, and an old mansion that looked very old appeared in front of us.
Squeak~~
The cars in front of us stopped one after another, and finally, our car finally stopped.
We followed with the body and sent forward.
"It's here!"
The driver in the cab finally spoke.
Is this the ancestral home of the Situ family?
I thought to myself.
It was very dark, and there was no light source nearby except for the Situ family's convoy.
In other words, there is only one Situ household nearby.
However, in the past, it was understandable that large families like them distanced themselves from other residents.
I stared at the driver's side face for two seconds and suddenly felt a little scared.
The backlight hits his stereotypical and serious face, which makes people inexplicably think of something ominous.
I couldn't help but shudder, turned my face away, and didn't dare to look at the driver again.
At this time, the others had already started to get out of the car in twos and threes or carry the mourning and sacrificial things off the truck, ready to put them into the ancestral house of the Situ family.
The car carrying Situ Shanping's body suddenly drove forward a little further, and finally stopped at the door of the ancestral house.
After seeing the black, ominous vehicle, I suddenly remembered that we had come tonight to keep a wake for Situ Cao's grandfather, Situ Shanping.
After Situ Cao saw the corpse car, his face, which had recovered a lot, turned pale again.
There are so many stories about the past that we almost forgot about it.
Now that someone had begun to move the old man's body, her mind was completely pulled back to reality.
We got out of the pickup truck and stood a short distance behind the crowd and watched, as if we were bystanders.
Only Situ Cao, tears oozed from her eyes again.
I walked up to her and patted her on the back as if I were reassuring.
"Don't cry. Your grandfather doesn't want to see you like this either. Looking at the crowd that had already entered, I sighed slightly: "Go in first, no matter what, we will accompany you." ”
