The man pushed Gu Chong into the alley, turning left and right. The two of them came to a large mansion.

This mansion is really amazing, wall to wall, courtyard to courtyard, full of thirteen into the big mansion. The emerald glazed tiles are vermilion lacquer, and the two ebony doors each have a small door, and the doors are nailed with copper nails shiny tiles.

It's not that Gu Chong hasn't visited ancient buildings, and when he looks at this place, he knows that it is not an ordinary person's yard.

When the two came, there were already many people at the door, and among them, Gu Chong saw the fourth brother.

The faces of the gathered people were either full of panic or indifference, and they should all be outsiders. Gu Chong was the last one to be brought in.

obediently mixed in and stood up, and the man who led Gu Chonglai stood in front of everyone.

"Listen, the lord invites you to come to the house at night, just look at it for seven days, and each person has two taels of silver. Work quickly, don't make trouble for other people's masters. ”

Looking at the house? Or watch it at night?

After the man finished speaking, he stepped up the steps with a few steps, stretched out his hand and grabbed the bronze ring of the beast's head on the door,

"Bang Bang!"

It wasn't the brass ring of the gate that knocked on it, but the small door next to it.

There was a muffled sound of metal and wood clashing.

After a short time, the door opened, and out of it came an old man, dressed in a gray-blue satin gown, holding a tube of cigarette pouches and pots made of white marble; The gray hair is meticulously combed, and although the body is a little rickety, it still looks extremely energetic.

"Yo, Ershan brought someone here?"

"Eh, here, hello to you."

As he spoke, the man saluted first, then straightened up and pointed to the crowd behind him.

"Honor, these people, have you seen enough?"

The old man took a puff of cigarette pouch and pot, spit out a puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes at these people, and nodded slowly.

"Yes, I should be able to get through it."

"They all came voluntarily, right?"

"Don't worry," Ershan rubbed his hands on his chest,

"They are all poor people, and they are absolutely voluntary in order to make ends meet."

After hearing this, fools know that there is definitely something wrong with this house. Gu Chong raised his eyes, but the people around him were all dressed similarly, tattered and dirty, and there were two or three girls with their necks stretched out in disgust, probably because they disliked the smell on their bodies.

"Brother Gu,"

At this time, the fourth brother had already wandered to Gu Chong's side and pulled his sleeve.

"This house looks scary."

Indeed, because it is now dusk, there were no street lamps on the street when it was dark, and at most every house hung lanterns at the door, but it was better not to have lanterns, and the flames illuminated by the white paper emitted a pale light source.

Green tiles, red walls, black gates,

It's really like a zombie movie......

"Hahaha-"

At this time, the old man suddenly laughed out loud on it, and he didn't know what Ershan said to make him happy. I saw the old man take out a palm-sized brocade belt from his arms and throw it into Ershan's hands.

Ershan hurriedly caught it, his hand sank down, the expression on his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed and thanked him again and again. The old man waved his hand, and Ershan ran down the steps again, driving Gu Chong and the "poor" people to the door of the house.

"Listen, it doesn't matter where you go during the day, you have to come back to see the house at night, and if you delay the affairs of your respect, the second master can't spare you."

After speaking, Ershan nodded at the old man again, and then disappeared into the alley.

The old man looked at the people in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, your job is to watch the house at night and no thieves come in, and I don't restrict you to go wherever you want during the day."

The old man knocked the cigarette pouch and pot and coughed a few more times before turning around and opening the door.

"Crunch—"

Despite the large number of people, the old man still did not open the two tall gates.

"This is the porter,"

Entering the courtyard, the old man pointed to both sides of the gate,

"Every day at dawn, you can come here and get your daily money to go out and spend it. But remember, when the sun is fully out, everyone must go out of the house, and at night when the sun is completely down, everyone must come back. ”

"If something happens to the rules, don't come to me."

Gu Chong silently wrote down these two points in time, and then looked at the layout of the courtyard.

Because it was only the first courtyard, there was no arrangement, except for the two gatehouses, only a row of tall trees lined up at the base of the wall, and the leaves had turned yellow and fallen a lot.

The old butler led everyone forward again, passing through the first and second entrances, but there was nothing special, and when they arrived at the courtyard of the third entrance, the old butler stopped again.

The courtyard of the third entrance is much more than the first two, and the greening is more fine, and the main room is arranged in it, but now it looks black and pressed from the outside, and nothing can be seen.

"This is the wing,"

The old butler pointed to the houses on either side.

"The five rooms here are the main rooms,"

"As for the main room, you can live in it, you can choose it yourself. You can use the hot water or something left inside, but don't break it. ”

"Especially the stuff in the main room."

"Don't break it."

The old butler stepped forward and pushed open a main room and a side room, which was smaller than the main room, and contained only a bed and a table; There are many main rooms, one room with two rooms, decorative screens, vases and everything, very elegant and generous.

"At night, you'll stay here."

"You can go to the courtyard where the first two enters the third entrance, but this one is the back,"

The old butler took a few more detours to a door, and tapped it with his hand.

There is a lock hanging from it.

"The courtyard that goes back is not something that you can enter casually. I advise you not to go inside. ”

"It's still a trivial matter to break the master's things, I'm afraid of you, something will happen in there."

When the old butler said this, he turned his back to the crowd, and carried a lantern in his left hand, and the yellow and white light sprinkled on his side, and his facial features were blurred as if they were pasted with paper.

Gu Chong peeked at the lock, a very small and simple lock, I am afraid that it can be torn off casually.

I also have a number in my heart.

After the explanation, the old man took the lantern and left slowly, leaving only the nine of them.

There are nine people, and there are eleven rooms that can be inhabited, five main rooms, six side rooms, three side rooms on each side, and exactly five rooms in the middle.

This makes it difficult to divide the room.

The bed in the wing room is small, and it is impossible to sleep two people; Although the bed in the main room can barely sleep two people, it is also crowded. One couple chose the main room, and most of the others who came alone chose the side room.

Gu Chong pondered the old man carefully, thought about it, and decided to let the fourth brother sleep in a small room, and he chose a main room to live in.

It's getting dark.

An owl, standing on a tree branch, with glowing green eyes,

Look at the busy people in the yard.
