3 After Xiao Nan came out of Xiao Tianyou's house, he just turned an alley and was stopped by a woman. That person was none other than Xiao Tianyou's nanny.

She didn't leave, she waited for herself here.

"May I ask if you are the friend of Young Master Tianyou who met on the Internet?" The babysitter asked.

Xiao Nan nodded: "My name is Xiao Nan and I am an archaeology teacher. Xiao Tianyou said that he would tell me about the local folk customs. ”

"Teacher, I hope you don't have any more dealings with Young Master Tianyou. He is a very strange person, and his mother asked me that the young master is a bit scary. The nanny looked a little uneasy when she said this.

"Terrible?" Xiao Nan leaned his back against the wall, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

"He was a child prodigy, he didn't go to school for a day, but when he was nine years old, he didn't know how to get the qualification for the college entrance examination, and he ended up being the first in the city, and then he ...... He turned down the invitations of the prestigious universities and stayed in the house wholeheartedly, I don't know what to say...... He never goes out, but he seems to know everything...... His mother, who is my employer, told me that if anyone came to Tianyou, they must tell the guests, and what Master Tianyou said could not be trusted. I think you'd better get out of here! ”

"Okay, I got it." Xiao Nan said quietly.

"Also, no matter what he says, you must not go to the Xiao family's old mansion." The babysitter reminded, "There...... Haunted. Whoever goes in is either dead or missing. ”

Without waiting for Xiao Nan to ask anything more, she left in a hurry.

The location of the Xiao family's ancient house is very peculiar, in the southwest of this town, is the undulating hills, although these hills are not high, the trees are lush, the scenery should be good, but no one develops, there is a valley that is said to be blessed with excellent scenery in the cluster of hills, the Xiao family's mansion is in this valley, and there is a only uphill road leading to the small valley in the town, which is less than a kilometer long.

Although the kilometre is flanked by flat wasteland, the crowded town has never expanded there, resulting in a clear "blank space" between the town and the valley. The wasteland, which is divided in two by the road, still maintains the appearance of being half-developed by the developer, overgrown with weeds, and some construction waste can be seen piled up from time to time.

Before the liberation, it was once a bustling city, one of the first areas in the country to have electricity and a railway station, and the city is full of new-style small western-style buildings, and rows of classical neighborhoods are full of interest.

The valley where the Xiao family's mansion is located is known as the local "dragon's nest", which is said to be a rich and noble place to gather wealth, and the stone road leading to the valley is often full of traffic, and there are rich and noble people who come and go.

Now this road has become a wide cement road, but it is called Huangquan Road by the locals, and no one dares to step over the two crooked barricades at the entrance of the town.

Xiao Nan came to the barricade, looked at the straight road leading to the valley in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

Of course, he didn't believe in any superstitions, but the locals were really afraid of the Xiao family's mansion, and if he wanted to go to the ancient mansion, he must have committed a taboo by the people, so he could only go quietly at night.

It stands to reason that he should come again tomorrow, but he looked around and found that there was almost no one on the street tonight, and on the way back, he heard the owner of a street stall chattering that today was a local "ghost festival", which was the day when the eldest man of the Xiao family was mourned for the first seven days, and he didn't know how to form a tradition, and no one dared to go out on this night every year.

The old houses on both sides of the road near the entrance of the town have long been abandoned, and no one dares to rent them.

This place was once rich because of the Xiao family, but because of the Xiao family, it has become a mysterious place full of taboos and fears.

Four years ago, there was a group of young people playing adventure games, about 30 people, into the Xiao family's ancient house to explore and find excitement, but after they entered the ancient house at night, they never came out, becoming an unsolved case, since then, the road at the entrance of the town has been placed barricades.

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment in front of the barricade.

Finally took a step forward. The more taboos there were, the more he wanted to see what was going on in that ancient mansion.

The street lights on both sides of the road were still on, and he just walked over to take a look, and there should be no problem.

Before coming here, he had read a lot of information about the local area and knew that the road was less than a kilometer or so, which was not very long for him.

The road was extremely quiet, and after walking for a while, he felt that his surroundings were a little too quiet, and he could only hear the sound of his crutches landing and footsteps, not even the sound of insects.

I don't know if it's his delusion, but he feels that this road is far longer than 800 meters, plus it is a slightly inclined uphill road, which makes him breathless.

He couldn't help but stop to rest under a street lamp, and looked back at the town behind him, probably because he was under the light, and when he looked back, all he saw was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The air seemed to get colder, and he tightened his coat and decided to move on.

He's almost there, and he's about to reach Taniguchi!

He could even see the shadowy cornices of the mansion in the night!

It turns out that the valley is a smaller town, in addition to the Xiao family's mansion, there are other ancient buildings separated by the street!

Xiao Nan stood at the mouth of the valley and saw the perfectly preserved ancient buildings not far in front of him by the light of the street lamp, and his heart was excited at this time.

However, just as he was about to reach out of his crutches, he suddenly stopped and fixed his gaze on the street lamp above his head.

He remembered that the street lamps on both sides of the road were the simplest styles, and now the lamp above his head is clearly a classic European crystal lamp shape at the end of the 19th century, retro and luxurious, with several moths flickering around the lamp.

He wanted to look back again to make sure he had misremembered the style of the lamp, but when he turned around, he was dizzy for some reason and staggered to the ground.

He prostrate on the ground, closed his eyes and waited for a while, until the sudden dizziness had subsided, and then he tried to get up—it was very difficult to get up on one leg, and after walking so much that his only remaining right leg was already shivering, and he couldn't get up after several attempts.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that there was a pair of feet of a woman wearing red high heels stopped in front of him!!
