The house was in decay, and the large bronze double 'doors' had collapsed to the ground, crawling with patina and long stalks.

When you walk into the 'door' of the house, you will see a shadow wall. The so-called shadow wall, also known as the Zhaobi or Xiao wall, is a wall used in traditional Chinese architecture to block the view. But it's kind of interesting to fix it at the 'door' as soon as you enter it.

I 'touched' my chin and looked at the wall in front of me, which was more than two meters high and covered with moss and weeds, and I didn't move for a long time.

"There's something wrong with this thing?" The goose plucked the 'feathers' and came up to ask. Because of my eye-catching performance tonight, everyone turned their ears to hear what I had to explain.

I didn't disappoint them: "This is the shadow wall, you know." There is a particular focus on where it is repaired. If you see it as soon as you enter the 'door', it means that the location of the house was not very clean. In the old days, people thought that their homes were constantly visited by ghosts. If it is the soul of one's own ancestors, it is allowed to go home, but if it is a lonely ghost who sneaks into the house, it will bring disaster to oneself. Therefore, the shadow wall will be produced, and the ancients felt that if the shadow wall was repaired at the entrance of the big 'gate' of the unclean house, the ghost would be scared away when he saw his shadow. ”

"In other words, this mansion was once haunted?" The soft-voiced droplet, who had always been silent, actually spoke.

I shrugged: "Only the people of the time knew that I was just analyzing the function of the object. ”

"You're not a simple person, and you know a lot more than ordinary people." Qiu Mu was surprised while looking at the shadow wall: "I remember the first time I saw you, you stayed with Xia Xue who died in the sauna. I was a little shocked by your eloquence and reasoning skills. Today you surprised everyone again. Honestly, you're more than just a college student, right? ”

"I'm really just a kind poor student." I didn't intend to tell the truth at all: "But I have watched a lot of mystery movies since I was a child, and the knowledge involved is a little broader." ”

Believe it or not, no one asked any more questions. After all, it is imperative to find the source of the curse and confirm whether you are cursed.

Walking through the shadow wall, there is a large courtyard, and the empty yard is full of weeds and weeds, and the delicate artificial plants have long since died. On the right side of the courtyard is a lonely stone trough, which should be used to tie mules and horses.

In the depths of the mansion, under a certain drooping wallpaper, there is a hat that I don't know if it belongs to the mansion or not. His master must have been very embarrassed financially, and had washed the dark blue of his hat to the white, and not only in the brim, but also in the middle seam that was folded up on the brim, and he had sewn many stitches with thick needles. Judging by the craftsmanship, it seems that it was sewn by a big man, and it seems that he must not have a wife.

This hat that is completely inconsistent with the compound is the original of the house, and it is estimated that the owner belongs to the level of a servant or groom.

Throughout the night, we walked to many places with the mulberry forest, and most of the 'yin' mountain villages were visited. But except for the broken tiles and broken walls left, no clues were found.

One o'clock at midnight soon arrived, and after some discussion, it was decided to continue the search tomorrow morning.

After everyone slept in their tents that night, the village returned to its usual silence. No one can sleep soundly, but whether they want to or not, time still passes at their own pace.

Just when everyone was half-asleep, a scream pierced An Ming in the camp.

There are always unexpected things in the world that cannot be predicted, such as today, the early morning of November 22nd.

The screamer was a goose plucking its 'feathers', and her shrill voice woke everyone who was asleep. I immediately jumped up and got out of the tent. It was still dawning, about 5:45 a.m., and the sun was rising in the depths of the mountains. The sky was also dark, and a faint trace of clouds could be seen.

In the faint light, I saw geese plucking their feathers and pointing to the tents next to the mountains and flowing water, their faces full of panic.

The two Gao Shan brothers also walked out, and they 'rubbed' and 'rubbed' their eyes to look at the position of the 'female' fingers, and suddenly their faces changed greatly. For the convenience of hiking, everyone brought light double or single tents. The interior space was not enough to fit the supplies of two horses and camels. So after 'drawing' lots, everyone decided to let the geese pluck the 'feathers' and the Qingyin water droplets in a tent, and the extra tent was used to store food and photographic equipment.

It's been that way since hiking.

But now the tent 'door' where the supplies were stored was opened, and food was scattered all over the ground from the inside to the outside. Everything that everyone depends on for their livelihood is in it, and once something goes wrong, it is absolutely fatal to be at least 6 days away from the nearest civilized society in the 'Yin' mountain village, where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back.

Takayama reacted quickly, he quickly counted the contents of the tent, and then his face darkened, and his voice was as low as before the storm: "The camera equipment is fine, but the food has basically been stolen." There is only a little left on the ground, which is not enough for 10 people to eat for a day. , it's my fault! ”

"Don't say that, no one has ever thought about that." Although Qiu Mu's face was not good, he still reluctantly patted him on the shoulder and comforted him. Indeed, trekkers rarely pay attention to food insurance, because no one is bored to steal it.

"Did a nearby beast bite it off?" The photographer and gaffer checked their equipment and found no problem: "Why else would you be interested in food?" ”

Yan Guo plucked the 'feathers' and calmed down a little, and she smacked her tongue: "How many beasts will it take to remove all the food in the tent?" Could it be that there are wolves around! ”

I leaned over to the stolen tent and looked at it, then shook my head: "It's not a beast, it's a man." ”

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at me in surprise.

"You see the two zippers of the tent, it's unwound." I pointed to the outer and inner tents: "If it were a beast, it wouldn't have opened the zipper, but bitten it directly." Besides, the food we brought with us, apart from vegetables and a few pieces of bacon 'meat', was nothing left in vacuum-packed. Beasts are only interested in cured meat, and will not touch tasteless vacuum-packed food and canned food. But all the food in the tent was missing, including most of the cabbage. ”

"And the most important thing." I pointed to the two horses tied not far away: "If there were wild beasts, the horses would wake up and go crazy." But who heard the horse bark last night? ”

Qingyin water droplets suddenly said: "If you don't eat porridge, you don't come out." ”

"yes, everybody's together. He didn't eat porridge and didn't go out of the tent. Qiu Mu counted several people.

A bad premonition rose in everyone's heart.
