Chapter 16: The Mysterious Old Man
The second floor was dim, especially the mysterious fourth room hidden behind the wall, which seemed to have an indescribable strange magic that attracted Ling Fan.
Ling Fan stepped on the steps of the stairs as in his dream, and then there was a sharp shaking around the steps, making a creaking sound, like a mouse biting something. Ling Fan's heart tightened for no reason, and he slowly lifted his feet and walked up step by step. With each step, the creaking sound became louder.
Bright light came in from the window next to the corridor on the second floor, Ling Fan was standing in front of the window at this time, the long shadow was cast on the corridor on the second floor, extending to the door of the third room, but the shadow of the head was suddenly cut off by a dark shadow, and that dark shadow extended all the way to the innermost fourth room. Faintly, several bright rays of light cast through the cracks in the locked fourth door, imprinted on the stairway.
Even though it was daytime, Ling Fan still felt a chill, because everything in front of him was exactly the same as what he saw in his dream, especially the few rays of light. Faintly, Ling Fan seemed to hear the familiar sound of 'pop papa', Ling Fan couldn't help but purse his lips and slowly walked towards the fourth room.
With every step he took, Ling Fan felt the hairs on his body stand up a little more, and his heart tightened.
Ling Fan stood in front of the door of the fourth room, his hand trembling on the doorknob, and then twisted slightly, only to find that the room was locked from the inside. Ling Fan squatted down and looked inside through the keyhole, but found that there was nothing inside, a small window on the wall let in a little sunlight, and other than that, there was nothing else in the room, let alone any computer desks.
"Ah......h
Chu Tianyu's frightened screams suddenly came from downstairs.
"Tianyu!!" Ling Fan's heart suddenly tightened, and then he rushed downstairs like the wind.
"Tianyu, what's wrong?" Ling Fan jumped directly down the stairs, blocking in front of Tianyu and said hurriedly.
"Snake!! Snake!! Chu Tianyu hid behind Ling Fan's back and pointed to a wriggling mass of things in the weeds in front of him.
"I'm ......" Ling Fan didn't expect that Chu Tianyu, who was usually extremely strong, would be afraid of snakes, so he wordlessly picked up a thin stick from the ground and drove the snake away.
"Shhhhh......h Scared the hell out of me!! ”
Ling Fan looked back at Chu Tianyu's face was red and kept patting his chest with his hand, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that the extremely strong Tianyu actually had such a weak and scared side, maybe she was even more cute now.
Suddenly, Ling Fan's eyes stared straight at Chu Tianyu's back, and the pupils of his eyes gradually narrowed slightly.
Chu Tianyu saw Ling Fan staring straight at him, his face immediately felt embarrassed, and he said angrily: "Dead thief!" What do you see?!! ”
A face! Ling Fan saw a face in the window behind Chu Tianyu! An extremely old face!!
"Who?! Who's where?! Ling Fan bypassed Chu Tianyu and rushed to the window with an arrow step, and the old face suddenly flashed and disappeared into the window.
"Ling Fan, what do you see?" Chu Tianyu saw Ling Fan's expression was different, and hurriedly asked.
Ling Fan didn't answer, just carefully inspected the weeds under the window, there were obvious traces of being stepped on, and this trace stretched forward, all the way around the back of the building. Ling Fan jumped out of the window, Chu Tianyu also jumped out, the two walked along the two footprints, and it didn't take long for these two footprints to disappear, Ling Fan looked up and saw that a simple small bungalow appeared in front of him.
The door to the small bungalow was tightly shut, as if no one was welcome to disturb it.
Ling Fan didn't care so much, he just wanted to know what was going on with the old man's face just now, why did he peep at himself and Tianyu.
"Is anyone there?" Ling Fan knocked lightly on the door and asked in a low voice.
"There's no one you're looking for! Get out of here! The old man's voice came from the little bungalow, and the tone was so cold and indifferent.
"Open the door! We are the police!! Chu Tianyu rushed forward, took out his police ID card from his arms, and shouted at the people inside.
"What's wrong with the police?! Can the police break into my old man's house?! The old voice inside was not weak at all.
"Humph! Do you dare to refuse the police?! Be careful I kick this broken door of yours out of the way! Chu Tianyu was even more annoyed when she heard the old man's words, no one had ever been so confronted with her, the arrogance in Chu Tianyu's heart was aroused, and Chu Tianyu did the same, her feet were already about to kick.
As soon as Ling Fan saw this posture, he hurriedly stepped forward to hug Chu Tianyu and persuaded: "Tianyu, calm down, trespassing on people's houses and destroying people's property will be punished a lot, and maybe the boss will also be punished for this." ”
"Hmph, this old man is so stubborn, do you have any other good way to knock on his door?!" Chu Tianyu looked at Ling Fan Dao coldly.
Ling Fan didn't answer Chu Tianyu's question, he just put a finger in front of his mouth, asking Chu Tianyu not to make a sound, and then turned around and came over with a bunch of grass not far away, put it under the window of the small bungalow, squatted down and lit it with fire, because it was half-green grass, the fire was not very big, but the thick smoke was very large, and it blew into the window.
Ling Fan jumped back to the front of the small bungalow, and then shouted loudly, "Oh no! Uncle! Your house is on fire! Tell me where the water is!! ”
The door of the small bungalow was slammed open, and I saw an old man in his sixties running out of the room with a bucket of water in his hand, and scolded and shouted: "Grandma, who dares to light a fire in front of the old man's house?!" The old man won't tear down his bones!! ”
The old man rushed out of the house, and looked around, where there was the slightest fire, only a pile of grass piled under the window, and thick green smoke kept pouring into the room. The old man turned his head and stared at Ling Fan fiercely, shouting, "Boy! Is this how you tricked my old man out of it?!! ”
Ling Fan walked to the pile of grass, kicked his foot and lifted a burst of soil, covering the grass, diluting the smoke, and then looked at the angry old man with a smile, and said, "Hehe, if this is not the case, I really can't do anything to trick the old man out of the house for a while!" ”
"Haha, Lao Tzu likes you, boy! I know why you're here! Come in and sit and talk!! The strange old man poured the water in his hand on the pile of grass, and then carried the empty bucket into the house, "If you want to come in, hurry up!" Otherwise, I'll have to lock the door!! ”
