Chapter 5: The Brown and Red Coffin

These buildings on the East Mountain, in Chinese style, have a gorgeous and retro appearance.

Not only that, but the housekeeper Hu who came to open the door was also dressed in the Republic of China. I saw that he didn't look like a man of his age, either in his movements or in his appearance.

After saying hello, Tang Muzhou and I followed this Hu steward who seemed to have crossed over from the Republic of China, and walked all the way forward.

He took us down the avenue.

The first time I set foot in such a good house, I kept looking left and right, only to see pavilions and small bridges on both sides of the avenue.

There are a lot of expensive koi fish in the pond, with different colors and tails swinging around, like gauze skirts.

The pavement is paved with expensive cobblestones, and the shape is very meaningful. There are green spaces around the road, and looking at the furnishings and styles of those plants, I also know that it should be expensive.

As I walked, I sighed in my heart that it was good to have money.

As I went, I didn't see anyone but the retro and ornate houses.

The sun was as strong as outside, but the farther you went inside, the chill worsened.

Looking at everything around me, I slowed down and asked my cousin next to me softly, "What about my aunt's family, why can't I see any of them?" ”

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "Tang Xiaofan, it's not that you can't see people, it's that this house is too big." ”

I sighed, and I was about to say something, but then Steward Hu, who was walking in front, looked back at us: "Young Master Nephew, Miss Nephew, please go faster." ”

To tell you from the heart, this young lady or something, I'm really not used to hearing it. It even feels like goosebumps. My Tang Xiaofan looks poor and sour, and the clothes and shoes on my body together are less than two hundred dollars, what kind of young lady is it.

It seems that this feudal society is really not suitable for selling chicken noodles in my new society.

Seeing that Steward Hu was urging, Tang Muzhou and I hurriedly followed.

Steward Hu led us through the hall, through a long corridor, and after entering a hall and coming out, I suddenly saw a tall tower.

The tower was more than ten meters high, the top was sharp, and at this moment, a black cloud was shrouded in it at the top.

This scene made my heart tremble.

When I entered this villa, the sun was still shining, and at this moment, the black clouds in the sky that came from nowhere, covered the whole sky with a layer of gloomy atmosphere.

Looking at the top of the tower, I froze.

When Tang Muzhou saw me stop, he asked me to follow, I waved at him, pointed to the tower and asked, "What is this?" ”

The cousin shook his head, and at this time, Steward Hu also turned around.

Seeing me staring at the tower, his face changed.

After quickly regaining his composure, Steward Hu walked towards me, and he also looked at the minaret and said to me, "Miss nephew, this is just a water tower." ”

"Water tower?"

Hearing this, I frowned:

"How can there be a water tower here, and how can the water tower be built in the middle of the villa, and the shape of this water tower looks like it was built many years ago, not like it was built with this house."

I crackled and asked a bunch of questions, but I still haven't said a word.

In recent years, tap water has been used in households, and facilities such as water towers are still needed.

Besides, this is another mountain forest, and the stream flowing down from the top of the mountain is very sufficient, and there is no need to make a water tower to store water, the key is that it is still built in the middle of the villa, and from the outside, it is quite a bad scenery.

The architecture that follows the ancient style is completely out of place.

"This water tower was here before the house was built, as if it can't be demolished casually, and there should be something connected underneath." Speaking of this, Steward Hu may have felt that he had said too much, so he said again:

"I don't know why."

I nodded, and was about to leave with Steward Hu, when I heard a sharp scream.

The sound was very familiar, just like the cave bat cries I heard in my dreams!

When I looked up again, I broke out in a cold sweat, and I saw a black shadow flashing towards me with a "hula".

Although it was fast, I could still see its appearance clearly, with a face the size of a mouse, a pair of black bean eyes, and a tingling scalp in shock.

I screamed, and then Tang Muzhou beside me quickly pulled me behind me.

The shadow scurried around us a few times, and then flew towards the spire again.

After circling around the spire a few times, the thing flew in.

The thing was huge, with wings spread out a full meter long.

I poked my head out from behind Tang Muzhou and probably knew what it was.

That's clearly a cave bat.

I think it's strange that this thing shouldn't live in a cave, how can it live on top of this tower?

Moreover, this thing is poisonous, and my aunt's family must know about it. Why let it live here, what if it hurts someone?

When Steward Hu saw that Tom and I were staring at the top of the tower, he hurriedly said:

"Don't be afraid, this thing usually doesn't come out during the day, and it will run out if the temperature contrast is too big, and it usually doesn't bite, it just shakes around and flies away, you don't have to worry."

This Hu steward used two "general" in a row, and I was terrified when I heard it.

The more Steward Hu said it, the more I felt that there must be something big wrong here.

What's more, you said that it is "general" that will not bite people and will not come out, so what if it is a "second-class" situation, do you deserve to be unlucky?

I whispered to Tang Muzhou if he had seen the bat a few days ago.

Tang Muzhou shook his head and said, he said that today was really the first time he had seen it, he had passed under this water tower several times before, and once he had never seen this thing even at night.

It seems that Steward Hu is right.

This thing is really "average" and won't come out, because my luck today is too "good".

After looking at the water tower for a while, I followed Steward Hu and left.

This villa is really big, and I haven't reached the end after walking for more than ten minutes. I asked Tang Muzhou where Aunt Tang Muzhou was, and Tang Muzhou whispered to me:

"Right ahead, the innermost part of this club is my aunt's mourning hall."

I hummed and didn't ask any more questions, and walked down the corridor for a few minutes, and at last it dawned on me, and I saw a room that had just been the size of all the halls, with white cloth hanging from the eaves.

In the middle of the room was a large brown-red coffin.

The coffin is carved with various patterns, and the craftsmanship is refined, so it is not magnificent.

A gust of wind came out, and the white ethereal air in the room fluttered in the wind, and I was covered in a cold sweat when I saw this scene!
