The night devoured everything like a beast, and the old houses around it disappeared, leaving only the courtyard in front of us.

It's sad to say, after encountering too many gods and ghosts, I also have a certain feeling for this so-called "evil spirit", such as the courtyard we are heading to, the closer I get to it, the more I feel a trace of evil energy surrounding me.

"Wait." I shouted to stop Xiao Cheng, and Chen Yong also stopped to look at me, and signaled with his eyes that he had something to say quickly.

I had a showdown: "There's something weird about this yard." ”

"What's weird?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"It's my feeling that isn't quite right, you can choose to believe it or not, it's this courtyard, I always feel that there is something evil in it."

"Huh?" Chen Yong looked at Xiao Cheng: "It can't be that your friend is practicing some witchcraft inside, right?" ”

Xiao Cheng immediately denied: "Impossible, Liu Dao is very bold, he will not take the initiative to do these things, unless he ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless someone persecutes him, if that's the case, then we'll go in and find out what happened to him." After Xiao Cheng finished speaking, he was about to enter the courtyard.

I hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't worry! What if the persecutors are inside, what if he threatens us with Liu Dao as a hostage? ”

Chen Yong agreed: "What Zhengxin said makes sense, Lao Xiao, don't be too anxious." ”

"Okay." Xiao Cheng took the initiative to stand behind us and let me explore the way first.

I cautiously walked to the gate of the yard, the probe looked inside, there was a small dilvetable lamp hanging above the right side of the courtyard gate, the bulb inside seemed to have not been changed for several years, the light was dim yellow, and the contact was not very sensitive, flickering from time to time, it turned out that the light we saw outside before was this lamp, but, why only hung a lamp at the gate of the yard, but the yard, but it was still dim, is there someone in it or no one?

"Old Xiao," I looked at Xiao Cheng behind me, "Are you sure Liu Dao is here?" This courtyard doesn't look like it's inhabited. ”

"Pretty sure, you still don't believe in my abilities?" Xiao Cheng was unimpressed by my suspicions, and remained confident.

"Okay," I turned on the flashlight on my phone, "let's go in and have a look, remember to take a light step." ”

The three of us formed a column, with me at the head, Chen Yong in the middle, and Xiao Cheng behind. When I climbed the stairs, the whole courtyard was completely visible to me.

The design of this courtyard is really strange, the area is very large, but there is no room, at least I can't see it with the faint light of my mobile phone, under the reflection of the subtle light, I see that there seem to be a lot of thin and tall monsters in the depths of the yard, and when I look at it, my body twitches unconsciously.

"What's wrong, Zhengxin?" Chen Yong, who was following me, sensed my abnormality and hurriedly asked.

"It's okay," I shook my head, calming down, "just some weeds." "At first glance, it does look like a monster, but I just took a closer look at it, and it's really just some weeds.

"Oh—that's good." Chen Yong was also relieved, he stretched his phone into the distance and circled around the yard, "Wait! He suddenly exclaimed, "You call this 'some'?" ”

Following the light of his phone, we looked around, and sure enough, it really couldn't be said to be "some".

Patches of weeds almost taller than a person are piled up, and the number is comparable to the barren grassland in the suburbs, but this is a yard, at least once inhabited, how can there be so many weeds? 1800 Literature

I began to doubt again: "Old Xiao, you ......"

"I'm sure!"

This time, before I could finish speaking, Xiao Cheng retorted.

"I'm pretty sure he's in this yard."

Seeing that he was so confident, I had no choice but to continue exploring deeper into the courtyard.

The deeper I went, the more clearly I could feel the dilapidated nature of the courtyard, the wooden planks that had fallen from the ground somewhere, and the sound of a lot of noise would be made when I accidentally stepped on them, and the windows that could not be broken were blown by the night wind, and the terrible creaking sound was incessant.

Fortunately, the three of us are all bold, if we were to change to a timid person, we would never dare to stay here for even a minute.

Then the question comes again, didn't Xiao Cheng say that Liu Dao was very bold? If he was really here, what was the reason for him to know that the faintest man would be willing to live in such an eerie place?

We walked slowly and finally found a closed room around the corner. What does it mean to be closed? It's that we can't see its entrance from the outside, in other words, we can't find the door, and that's when I hear a faint human voice.

"Someone's in there!" I whispered to Xiao Cheng and Chen Yong.

"It must be Liu Dao!" Xiao Cheng was very excited: "But how do we get in?" ”

"Don't worry," Chen Yong said, "Let's take a look around first and see where the entrance to this room is." So saying, he got up and looked around, looking east and west, but he could not find the door.

"Chen Yong, don't look for it," I called to him, "the door shouldn't be here, you see." I pointed to a faint light in the distance, we had been at the front of the room before, and had not gone around the back, but I had just walked to the back of the room out of curiosity, and I had discovered the mystery.

"This room is a fake, it's used to hide people's eyes. Real room, at the back of it. ”

This makes me even more curious, what is this Liu Dao doing, is it worth him spending so much effort to cover up his whereabouts?

We cautiously approached the crack in the light, and when we got closer, we found that it was the light that came out of a door, and the sound of speech came from there, but because of the door, we were far away, and we didn't really hear what the people in the room were saying, but it didn't matter, the people had already found it, and it was only a matter of time before the truth was discovered.

Chen Yong called the two of us aside: "Let's not go in, just listen at the door, I see that the crack in the door is quite big, let's grit our teeth and rush closer, maybe we can see inside." ”

"Okay, I'll go forward, you two keep an eye on the movement in the back." I'm the lightest of the three of us, and I'm more agile and not easy to spot.

In order not to alarm the people in the room, I was almost moving slowly, and the effort paid off, and I really didn't make any sound in this short distance, so I found a good angle and quietly looked inside through the crack in the door.

The situation inside the house was more than I expected.

The furnishings in the room were simple, a bed, a cupboard and a small chair next to the bed.

There was an old man lying on the bed, it seemed that he was in a very bad state, his lips were white, his cheeks were purple, and the whole person was thin and skinny, I don't know who this was, but the person sitting in front of the bed, compared with the photo that Xiao Cheng showed us before, should be Liu Dao.

I lowered my head and was about to use my mobile phone to tell Xiao Cheng about the situation in the house, but Liu Dao suddenly raised his head and looked at me.
