The house is an ordinary small courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, Gu Chong smelled a faint smell of blood.

It seems that it has been cleaned, but after cleaning, there is still such a heavy smell. When Gu Chong and the fourth brother entered the courtyard, they closed the door.

The loess ground, with some stone slabs in front of the house. There was a faint pink mark on a place, and Gu Chong stepped forward to look at it, as if blood had soaked into the soil.

The fourth brother cautiously followed behind Gu Chong, watching Gu Chong staring at the blood stains on the ground in front of him in a daze, a little scared, so he spun around the courtyard at will.

Hey?

In front of the door, there was a large earthen jar, which was also sealed, and it was surrounded by white powder.

The fourth brother curiously leaned up and opened the seal, intending to open the lid to take a look.

"Huh!"

Gu Chong's voice came from behind the fourth brother, but the fourth brother had already opened the jar.

I only heard the sound of "woo-", and a puff of black smoke rushed out of the can, and the fourth brother couldn't dodge, and was directly covered by the black smoke on his face.

"Fourth brother!"

Gu Chong shouted, only to see the black smoke circling around the fourth brother's head, fluttering, fluttering and dissipating directly.

Leaving the fourth brother in place with a blank face.

"Fourth brother?! How are you? ”

Gu Chong hurriedly stepped forward, looked around, and found that there were no wounds on the fourth brother's body, and there was no change.

"Huh? Ah......h

"I, I don't feel anything, I just feel like it's dark in front of my eyes......"

The fourth brother turned his head left and right, and he didn't know what was going on.

Gu Chong frowned and looked at the big earthen jar that had been opened.

Looking in from Gu Chong's angle, he could only see something black.

"What's inside?"

When the fourth brother heard this, he took a look at it, and it seemed to be some pickled vegetables, but I don't know why it became black and swarthy, and there was a very strange smell.

"It's like a vegetable jar, nothing special,"

Gu Chong was about to lean in to take a look, when suddenly, there was a "bang" knock on the door of the confined room beside him.

Coming from within.

Gu Chong and the fourth brother were startled and instinctively stayed away from the door.

"Bang bang bang-"

"Bang bang bang-"

It was only slight, but then it became heavier and more intense, and you could even see the dust on the door fluttering up.

"Damn, what the is this?!"

The fourth brother held Gu Chong's hand, Gu Chong's eyes stopped at the door, gritted his teeth, whispered "go", and ran out of the yard without looking back.

The moment the two doors were closed, Gu Chong saw the door open with his own eyes.

"Smack!"

The door closed.

Gu Chong and the fourth brother were standing outside the courtyard, their hearts still pounding.

Not daring to delay in place, Gu Chong pasted the seal back, and the two left in a hurry.

Without saying much,

In the blink of an eye, it was dusk again, and the people who had been "kicked out" from the house returned to the house one after another.

"Where's Bai Zimo?"

Someone said something, and everyone turned their heads to look, and found that there was really no Bai Zimo among the people who came back.

"He wouldn't have come out, would he?"

The fourth brother whispered to Gu Chong.

"It shouldn't be, but it's just a few sentences, it's impossible for him to ignore the rules, right?"

As he was talking, he heard a "rattle" and two small doors opened.

The old butler wore the same clothes as yesterday and walked out slowly.

"Yes, very punctual,"

The old butler pointed to the door and motioned for them to enter. The crowd obediently walked up the steps, and as soon as they entered the small door, the door was slammed shut.

There was a sound of chains clattering outside, and someone was startled and rushed over to bang on the door.

"What?! What are you doing?! ”

The old butler's voice came faintly from outside,

"Lock the door."

After speaking, I heard the sound of the lock slamming on the door, and the slow footsteps of the old man, gradually moving away.

Leave everyone looking at each other.

The thirteen-entry large courtyard, in the blood-colored twilight, seems to be isolated by the world, it stands to reason that this is not yet the time to close the stalls, and there is a night market, and the surroundings should not be so quiet.

But in this house, I can't hear the slightest noise outside.

Only the cool breeze blew, and the fallen leaves in the rolled yard ran everywhere, making a rustling sound.

Gu Chong shuddered.

"Let's go back quickly,"

The others didn't care about locking the door or not, and hurried towards the courtyard where they lived.

Push open the door of the first courtyard,

"Crunch—"

The scene that appeared in front of everyone was terrifying.

I saw an old tree sitting alone in the corner of the yard, and a man was hanging from it.

With the wind, it sways slightly.

"Shhhh

I don't know who gasped, and a sense of unease began to spread through the crowd.

"That, that, that, isn't that Bai Zimo......"

That's right, the person who was hung on the tree was Bai Zimo. He was wearing an off-white cotton jacket and a cotton hat on his head.

He turned his back to the crowd, his toes rushing to the ground, shaking from time to time.

How did he die here?!

Gu Chong was also scared in his heart, especially now, the sun was about to set. However, he still made up his mind and walked towards Bai Zimo's corpse.

Bai Zimo hung very high, and it was impossible to step on it without a stool. But in his vicinity, there was no such thing.

Gu Chong slowly came to the bottom of Bai Zimo's corpse, and the position of his toes was just enough to fall to the height of ordinary people's shoulders, of course, for Gu Chong, it was a little lower.

Gu Chong raised his head and looked at him.

A pair of eyes were bloodshot and bulging, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets. Two streaks of blood flowed from the nostrils, and his lips and face had turned purple. From Gu Chong's point of view, it was as if Bai Zimo was staring at Gu Chong.

Gu Chong took a cursory look at his face, and then circled around Bai Zimo, but found no other scars and wounds. It looks like he's hanged,

But how did he hang himself up such a tall tree?

"Don't look at it! Weird! Let's go back! ”

Someone shouted in the back, it was the girl who spoke to Bai Zimo this morning.

She looked at Bai Zimo's corpse with horror on her face.

"What about corpses? Put him down? ”

Gu Chong waved his hand,

"No, I think it's better for us not to move."

"Then let him hang like that?"

Gu Chong nodded,

"If you move it at will, I'm afraid there will be something."

Of course, no one would want to put down a hanged ghost, and it wasn't the yard where they lived anyway.

Everyone hurriedly walked past Bai Zimo's corpse and entered the courtyard of the third entrance.

"Smack."

It is the sound of the door lock being closed.
