Chapter 57: A Strange Rattle in the Middle of the Night

After tidying up at home for a while and getting dressed, the master and I officially went out, originally the master wanted to go directly to the highway, but I forcibly asked the master to go to Chu's house first, because I wanted to take Chu Mengxi to play together, hehe!

The master had to turn a corner and drive towards Chu's house, and after a while, our car stopped at the gate of Chu's house, and I saw Chu Mengxi, a little girl, standing at the door with a suitcase, because when I came, I had already sent her a message in advance.

I got out of the car, stuffed her suitcase into the trunk, opened the door for her gentlemanly, and after getting in the car, Chu Mengxi called the master sweetly, and the master nodded with a smile and asked, "What about your father, girl."

"My dad! My dad doesn't know where he went, it seems that he talked to someone about the project, and I don't know." Chu Mengxi opened his mouth and said.

The master nodded, started the car, on the way I will go to the destination to Chu Mengxi told again, this girl directly happily narrowed her big eyes into a slit, I also smiled, the car gradually got on the highway, I don't know how long it took, I woke up from the seat, at this time the sky has been from morning to afternoon, and it is still raining, my heart is not only sinking, I damn it, it rains and plays with a hammer!!

Soon, the car slowly drove into the ancient city of Phoenix, the ancient city of Phoenix, one of the famous scenic spots in Xiangxi, is one of the top ten cultural heritage in Hunan, and also comparable to the ancient city of Lijiang in Yunnan, the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi, enjoy the name of Pingyao in the north and the south of the phoenix, the scenery here is particularly good-looking, there are hundreds of characteristic houses in the Ming and Qing dynasties, dozens of temples and pavilions, and there are hundreds of antique slate streets in the city, don't ask me why I know, because on the road I have read the information and characteristics of the ancient city of Phoenix, haha.

After the master parked the car, we got out of the car and moved the suitcase, the primary purpose was to find a hotel, because the sky was raining lightly at this time, we ran to a wider eaves, and there was an old man sitting under the eaves, looking at the rain outside, Chu Mengxi shook his hair and said to me: "Lin Xuan, don't you look at the weather forecast when you go out, how can you go around this rain."

After speaking, I was about to speak, but I heard the old man sitting next to me say, "Hey, little girl, it's raining, why can't you go shopping?"

Our group all looked at this old man suspiciously, but heard him smile and say, "It's the first time you have come to Phoenix Ancient City."

We nodded.

"No wonder! Don't look at the rain, there are actually a lot of things to play, do you want me to take you to take a look?" The old man continued.

The master looked at the gradually heavier rain, and thought that it was the first time to come here, and he really needed a person to guide the way, and he agreed, and the old man took out four umbrellas from the door under the eaves, one for each of us, and they were all paper, just like oil-paper umbrellas, and we followed behind the old man, and the old man held the umbrella in one hand, and the other hand behind his back, and led us to a very spacious downstairs.

We were all stunned, what kind of fun is this, only to hear the old man say: "Let's go, let's go in."

Our eyes were attracted back by the old man's words, followed him, and walked into the building, the environment in this building is like traveling to ancient times, in the middle is a staircase leading to the second floor, there are many wine jars under the stairs, we followed the old man to the second floor, into a room, the old man directly opened the balcony door of the room, and said: "You see, you can see the fun on a rainy day, isn't it."

After speaking, the old man stepped aside, and we all looked at the past in confusion, but we didn't see anything, only a row of houses and a long Tuojiang River, the master looked at the old man suspiciously, and said: "Old man, what kind of fun are you, can't you see a row of houses."

The old man put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Hey, where is this row of houses, you look at the environment around this room, it is very good, each room has a balcony, you can see the foggy in the distance, the antique scenery, so ah, don't look at the rainy day, but the rainy day also has a different flavor, and this house is not expensive."

After speaking, the old man smiled and narrowed his eyes, we were all stunned, dare to love this old man is a solicitor, I thought it was really an elderly tour guide.

The master smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, you dare to show us the house."

"Hehe, yes or no, I also see that it is raining outside, I am afraid that you will not be able to find a hostel for a while, so I kindly brought it to you, and it is really not expensive here, look at the clothes of a few people and the car parked outside, a few people don't look like they are short of money." The old man said.

I also smiled bitterly, and glanced at Chu Mengxi speechlessly, this girl also looked like she couldn't help it, and the master continued: "Forget it, I'm here, I'll live, is there three rooms that are close together, don't be that kind of far apart."

"Then there must be ah, a few guest officers are here." The old man took us to the other two rooms, after a while, Chu Mengxi and I stayed upstairs to clean up, the master and the old man went to the first floor to register their identities alone, after a busy while, we sorted out the three rooms, the three rooms are not much different, all the items are ancient, even the washbasin is the ancient kind of shelf, and there is a basin on it to hang a towel.

After Chu Mengxi and I cleaned up, we sat on the table on the side and drank tea, listening to the sound of the rain outside, and there was a sense of comfort, after a while, the master walked in and sat next to us, Chu Mengxi poured a cup of tea for the master very well-behaved, the master smiled and took a sip, and said: "The formalities have been completed, and I have also ordered it at the school, you two little guys will make trouble, if you don't study well, you have to ask for more leave to play for a few days, if you don't meet me with a good temper, you still want to ask for leave"?

"Hey, master, you're the best". I smiled and said to the master.

The master gave me a blank look, Chu Mengxi repeated my words again, and said to the master: "Uncle Tan, you are the best, hehe."

But the master seemed to love Chu Mengxi very much, and smiled at her, on the other hand, the master gave me a white look with disgust, this..? Is this still a pro-master and pro-apprentice?

We were in the room, drinking tea and chatting again, when suddenly I heard footsteps, and then there was a knock on the door, and the master took the teacup and said, "Please come in."

When the words fell, the old man pushed open the door, sat down beside us with a smile and said, "How about it, you are still used to it."

We all nodded, and the old man continued, "It's good to get used to it, it's good to get used to it, but there are some things I have to remind you of."

We all looked at the old man suspiciously, the old man nodded, and said: "It's best not to go out at night, I don't know what's going on recently, this ancient city is a little uneven, most of the night can often hear bells ringing outside, jingle bells, jingle bells, we have also checked, but there is no result, all after twelve o'clock in the evening for your safety, or try not to go out, rest early, and no matter what you see at night, what you hear, don't pay attention."

After the old man finished speaking, the master continued: "No matter what you see, what you hear? I still understand the latter one, but I can't understand the previous one, what is what you see, make it clear."

The master asked the old man to make it clear, but the old man squirmed and didn't speak, and after a while he stood up and said, "I won't disturb you to rest, I still have something to do, so I'll go down first."

Without waiting for us to speak, the old man walked out of the room by himself, and the master recalled the old man's words and his various performances just now, and suddenly felt that something bad would happen, and said directly to us: "Don't go out at night, stay in the room, I always feel that something is wrong here."

"What's wrong, master". I asked, puzzled.

The master glanced out the window and said, "Think about it, is the Phoenix Ancient City very famous."

Chu Mengxi and I nodded, and the master continued: "Then since you are so famous, why did you only see very few people walking around when you came just now, even when you stood under the eaves to hide from the rain?"

Speaking of this, I was also stunned, but I still said: "Master, it's normal to not see other tourists on the road, who will come out to hang out in the rain on this rainy day, they must be nested in the house, are you thinking too much."

But as soon as I finished speaking, the master shook his head and retorted to me: "That's right, but I just heard the old man say that there will be a bell ringing outside in the middle of the night, and don't care about anything you see, there are many weird things in this kind of ancient city, yes!" The excitement is indeed the excitement, but behind the excitement there are strange and mysterious phenomena everywhere, and where is this place?"

The master said at the end, pointed to the table and continued: "This is Xiangxi!! Xiangxi rumors I think you must have heard of it, what kind of corpse chasing, Gu art is a household name, women and children know things, so be careful, don't go out at night, keep the phone on, call or shout immediately if there is something, we are close, we can hear it."

After the master's analysis, I also slowly felt that something was wrong, yes, it was indeed raining outside, even if there were tourists, they would never be idle and have nothing to do to go out, but the master said in the end, emphasizing the geographical location here, I also thought about it carefully, although there are many scenery in Xiangxi, but there are also many strange things, what is the corpse expulsion technique is indeed a household name, even ordinary people know this, which inevitably makes us a little suspicious of people in the supernatural circle.
