Chapter 78: The Old House
After night we arrived at the village, and strangely enough, the house was closed, and no one answered the knock on the door, and then we met a strange young man, who had taken us to an old house and left.
In the words of the young man, this old mansion is very magnificent, it is said that it was the home of the former village chief, because his son developed in the city, and the whole family entered the city, so the old mansion was empty and no one lived in it.
Compared with other earthen houses, this old mansion is indeed quite magnificent, with a tiled roof gatehouse and high courtyard walls made of all blue stone blocks, especially those blue stones, which are all regular and long, and the same size, which seems to be extremely discordant with the architectural style of the whole village. However, what surprised me even more was that Yang Lao actually said that those blue stones were tomb bricks!
For Yang Lao, I have always been skeptical, after all, I don't know his details, and I can't completely trust him just because he showed me a part of Guo Gong's ciphertext. However, Yang Lao should be regarded as an old man in the tomb robbery industry, since he said that this is a tomb brick, it should not be wrong.
"That's even weirder." I said, "How did this family build a house out of tomb bricks?" Don't you want to find bad luck for yourself? ”
Lao Fan said: "Old man, this place is evil, I'll go and bring that kid back and ask for clarification." ”
Mr. Yang waved his hand, called us to the tiled eaves of the gatehouse, and asked us to turn off the flashlight. I saw that he was mysterious, so I turned off the flashlight to see what he wanted to do.
As soon as the flashlight went out, the surroundings suddenly became dark, and then I heard Yang Lao lower his voice and say: "That young man is not a good stubble, he should be a murderer." ”
I was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Do you feel that he is not wearing his own belt?" ”
The light was too dim, I couldn't see Yang Lao's expression, looked at his silhouette, seemed to nod, and then listened to him say in a deep voice: "His hat and shoes are one of my students, it seems that my student was poisoned by him." ”
Lao Fan suddenly exclaimed: "What? Old man, are you saying that the fourth child didn't come back and died in the hands of this guy? ”
Yang Lao snorted: "Look at his shoes and hat are the same as the ones the fourth child wore when he left, I don't dare to judge this alone, but the zippo limited edition lighter, I remember very clearly in my mind, that lighter is limited to ten in China, and I rewarded it to the fourth, I don't believe that this poor and remote boy can afford it, and the fourth child must have been killed by him for money." ”
I heard it in a fog, why did a fourth child suddenly come again? Listening to his words, it seems that the fourth child has been here before, and was killed by that young man for money, what the hell is going on? I looked at Yang Lao suspiciously, and asked, "Old man, I didn't understand what you said, did you hide something from me?" This seems to be very bad for our cooperation, right? ”
Yang Lao coughed dryly and said: "Don't think about it, I came to this operation according to the old rules of the inverted bucket, in order to determine the location of the ancient tomb more accurately, I photographed a student in advance to step on the plate, that is, the fourth." He had a satellite phone and would report back to me every day. He told me that he had arrived at a village not far from Jiajiaogou, and that it was a very strange village, and that it was about the same as here, and I guess it was this village. Later, he saw the old mansion and found that there was something wrong with it, and all the building stones were made of tomb bricks. After inquiry, I learned a secret, twenty years ago, a cliff collapsed in the sandwich ditch, collapsed these tomb bricks, and also collapsed a cave. When the village chief here heard the news, he hired someone to transport the tomb bricks out and build his own house, but of course, the village chief did not know that these were tomb bricks. Later, when the villagers saw that these stones were of good quality, they poured into the sandwich ditch to collect this kind of stone, and the strange thing is that none of the people who entered the sandwich ditch came back, and even the body was not found. The fourth heard the news, concluded that these tomb bricks and the tomb of Emperor Mu must have something to do with it, but unfortunately, after a few days could not contact him, I called him several times, no one answered, the last time I called, it was a stranger to answer, only to hear me say a word he did not make a sound, and then there was some noise on the other side of the phone, I guess the person who answered the phone will not operate the phone, and finally there was a crisp popping sound, the phone hung up completely, how to get through. ”
Listening to Elder Yang say so many things, I finally sorted out what was going on. It turned out that before we came, Yang Lao also sent a student called Lao Si to step on the plate, but unfortunately the fourth disappeared later, today we met the young man, Yang Lao was sure that his clothes and lighters were the fourth, that is to say, the fourth was killed by this person for money!
Damn, this is too dramatic, isn't this a bridge in some suspense novels? But looking at the tone of Yang Lao's speech, with a lot of regret and disgust, he shouldn't be making up a story, unless he has a split personality and likes to imagine himself as a variety of characters.
Lao Fan shouted, "Then what are we waiting for? I'm going to get that kid out and kill him with a fire to avenge the fourth. ”
Yang Lao beckoned, so that Lao Fan could not move, and then said: "We don't know if that young man has accomplices, so if we rush to find him, if we break into the thief's den, I'm afraid we will suffer." Besides, this is someone's territory, kill him in broad daylight, and the villagers in this village must not fight with us? ”
Lao Fan hurriedly said: "Then what do you say?" Could it be that you really spend the night here, and then kill the tomorrow in the mountains? I've seen enough, there are strange things in this yard, and people have set them up, and before we can enter the mountain, we have to be killed by others, and when I see the fourth child, I don't have the face to talk to him. ”
Li Guodong glared at Lao Fan fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Fan, how can you talk to the old man?" ”
Lao Fan didn't know what to mutter, sighed and said, "I'm not rushing to the old man, I'm feeling guilty." ”
Yang Lao waved his hand to let them not quarrel, and then glanced at me and said: "Let's plan it, just wait for him in this old house, if he dares to calculate us, it must be when we fall asleep before we can do it, then let's wait for the rabbit, with the skills of a few of us, it is not a problem to deal with a few mountain thieves." But we can't rush into this courtyard, I care about my brother, I heard that you have served in the reconnaissance company of the army, so how about you go in to find out the situation? ”
I was stunned, and my heart said why me? Isn't this a sign that I should go to the mines? was about to push it away, but I heard Lao Fan say: "Brother Guan, don't shirk, we will definitely be the one who goes to the ancient tomb when it comes to falling to the ground, but this reconnaissance, it's not me who pats you on the back, the three of us are really inferior to you." ”
I pouted and scolded you, something without conscience, if I hadn't carried you off the car at that time, Yang Lao would have left you there and left you alone, so you repay me?
Thinking about it, I looked at Li Guodong, but I didn't expect this guy to look at me very seriously and nodded! What do you mean by this? Aren't you sent by my father to protect me? Can you bear to watch me jump into the fire pit? What I didn't expect was that Li Guodong actually handed me the fire gun and said - be careful!
I secretly scolded the three of them, and when I saw that this was a three-to-one situation, I could only bite the bullet. So he pinned the fire gun to the waistband of his trousers, crept over to the black lacquered door, and pushed it hard, and the old wooden board made an uncomfortable creak, but it was not pushed open, and it seemed that there was a gate inside.
I took a few steps back and looked at the courtyard walls on both sides, which were almost more than two meters high.
Lao Fan and Li Guodong knew what I meant, so they stood under the wall and set up a ladder.
I stepped on the shoulders of the two of them, grabbed the wall with both hands, and slowly moved my body up, and just as I was climbing up the wall and about to look into the courtyard, I suddenly saw a head in front of me turn its head and come directly to me. Then a particularly strange round face appeared in front of my eyes, I suddenly felt a cool breath coming out of my back, the whole scalp exploded, my feet were weak, and I almost fell down, fortunately, I had too many face-to-face experiences with terrible things before, and my mental quality was already quite powerful, so I didn't scream, but that strange face was too scary, especially at night, my heart directly mentioned my throat and eyes.
Along the way, I imagined that I might see a lot of terrible things in the ancient tombs, but I never imagined that in the civilized world, on the courtyard wall of an old mansion where human beings lived, such terrible things would be seen!
I can't describe how terrifying that face is, I just remember that the face was very round, and it was so white that people felt that it was not a human face at first glance. Especially the two eyes on that face, faintly glowing green, deep and weird.
I stood there motionless and stared at the strange face, which tilted its head and stared at me with its eyes.
Li Guodong saw me squatting on the wall and didn't move, and hurriedly asked me what was going on, but when he made a sound, he immediately alarmed the strange face, only to hear the strange face make a series of cooing sounds, suddenly flew up, and then disappeared.
I was so nervous that I instantly pulled out the firecracker, and I thought it had launched an attack, but it took me a long time to react,, isn't that an owl? If I think about the features of that strange face, yes, it was indeed an owl, and there was a fruit tree on the inside of the courtyard wall in front of me, and it turned out that the owl was standing on the branches of the fruit tree, which was exactly the same height as me.
I wiped a cold sweat and understood what was going on, so I let out a long breath and couldn't help but laugh to myself, I was really scared of myself, maybe I was too nervous just now, so I thought the owl's face was a grimace. But I'm already good enough, if you change to someone else, climb someone else's wall in the middle of the night, just climb up and suddenly on the opposite side of the wall, a strange face appears and you look at each other, what kind of feeling is that, ordinary people have long stopped eating.
I exhaled and took a closer look at the courtyard, which was very large, with a bluestone paved walkway in the middle, and at the end of the walkway was a four-room stone brick house, which was dark inside, and there were many lattices on the windows, probably still the old-fashioned paper windows. There is a small windmill behind the house, which is estimated to be used to generate electricity, but the blades of the windmill have been broken and should be scrapped.
There was nothing in the yard empty, and on both sides of the walkway were vegetable gardens, overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that it had really been abandoned for a long time.
I climbed along the fruit tree to the vegetable garden, and as soon as my feet touched the ground, I suddenly heard a thorn in the grass, and then a layer of green light suddenly appeared in the whole vegetable garden. Standing in the grass and seeing the magical flames in front of me, I felt like I was in a fantasy world, and I was stunned all of a sudden.
This sluggishness only lasted for a second, and I immediately reacted, damn this green light is not the green light in Stefanie Sun's lyrics, this is phosphorus fire! With so much phosphorus fire, how many dead people are buried under this grass?! Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of my feet and rush to the top of my head! The whole person was completely frozen there.
