What a tiring day. The night was as thick as water, cold and dark, and my little third son and I carried Zhang Wenyi on our backs, and dragged Zhang Xueyun's corpse back to the hotel with difficulty.

Zhang Xueyun's body was burned badly, and only charred and dry bones were left in many places, which undoubtedly made the already decomposed corpse even more ugly.

I settled myself and returned to my room, where I slumped heavily on the soft bed, almost screaming in comfort. Suddenly I heard someone banging on the door, and I reluctantly got up and opened the door.

"Who?" The door was empty, and there was no one there. I stretched out my head and looked left and right, only to see that the dim orange light in the corridor had become even dimer, and there was a cold mist all around, constantly lingering and churning, indescribably eerie.

"Who knocked the dry ice down? But is there dry ice in this hotel? I ******** wanted to get out of the room, but I immediately dismissed the idea. It's cold! The fog was like life, constantly emitting a large amount of cold breath, and the skin exposed to the clothes began to numb and dry as soon as it came into contact, as if all the moisture was greedily absorbed.

I shuddered, quickly closed the door, turned off the light and went back to bed. Suddenly, I heard the window rattle again. A crack slowly opened in the window of the guest room, and there seemed to be a bloated dark shadow desperately trying to break in. Make no mistake, this is the second floor. It's not very high, but it's nearly eight meters above the ground, so who went to the trouble of getting a long ladder to get into my room?

My instinct told me I had to let that thing in, or I'd die. So I grabbed the folding stool beside me, forced my fear and walked over, pulled the window open with all my might, and slammed it into the head-like place of the thing.

He let out a cry of pain and fell off the window.

"Die early, dare to disturb my sleep!" I looked down demonstratively, and my whole body chilled with surprise.

My room is still on the second floor, and although it is dark outside the window, I can still tell that it is definitely not such a lovely short distance from the ground as eight meters. Under the window was a black hole, seemingly infinitely deep, and the monster that was desperately trying to crawl into my room was still falling downward, falling and falling......

Suddenly, someone began to bang on the door hard, and an inexplicable fear crept into my heart. I stared at the door, and suddenly I felt that the door was close at hand, and there was an indescribable strangeness. This weirdness with a strong allure swept over me and controlled myself, and I reached out and slowly reached for the doorknob......

"Ahh It turned out to be a dream, and it was a real frightening nightmare, why do you often have this kind of dream during this time? Is it because of the last three meals that have been out of balance, and there is a problem with the stomach?

Look out the window, it's so bright! It turned out to be early in the morning, hey, no, when did the window open a crack? I remember going to bed with it turned off!

I was shaken, rolled over and jumped out of bed to the window. My eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of something, and I began to tremble with surprise. Wrong! Last night's events may not have been a ridiculous nightmare. Because there are a pair of black footprints clearly printed on the window edge, a pair of footprints that I don't know what they belong to......

At this moment, there was an impatient knock at the door. I turned my head sharply to look at the doorknob, and when I was hesitating to open the door, I heard the little third son shout in a loud voice: "The night is silent, Qi Shimu is dead." Someone just found his body in the river! ”

Restlessly waiting, I finally stayed up until dark, and after eleven o'clock at night, I couldn't wait to pull the little third son out.

"What's the matter, I've been working with you almost every night lately, and I've stayed up all night, I thought Wenyi had found it, and Sister Xue Yun's body had also been found, and this matter could come to an end, I was finally able to sleep well, and you went crazy again and asked me to come out!" The little third son yawned and complained.

"Idiot, don't you think the cause of Qi Shimu's death is suspicious?" I glared at him fiercely.

"What about being suspicious? His death was simply a blessing for the town of Montenegro. Their family is going to die, and they are all happy! The little third son said nonchalantly: "And don't forget, he wanted to burn us with gasoline last night!" ”

I ignored him and said to myself, "That's even weirder." According to the fisherman, he went to the river to fish at half past five today, but he didn't expect to catch the big guy when he cast a net, and when he mentioned it, he found that it was the corpse of Qi Shimu.

"When I went to inquire about him in the morning, the fisherman had mentioned that corpse spots had appeared on the back of the strange stone wood, and that the color of those corpse spots would not fade even if they were pressed with their fingers, and that it was obvious that they had developed from the accumulation stage to the spreading stage, and that he should have been dead for at least ten hours! In other words, he died before five o'clock yesterday afternoon, do you remember what time it was in the evening when we found that secret passage? ”

"It's probably early in the morning." The little third son also began to feel strange.

"That's right, a person who died more than five hours ago can't set fire to us, there must be someone else who set the fire!" I patted him on the shoulder.

"At that time, we obviously heard the sound of strange stones and wood in the dark cave!" The little third son began to drill the tip of the horns again.

"Stupid, can't the voice be disguised?" I felt the urge to kick him.

Xiao Sanzi slapped his left palm with his fist, and suddenly said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" Silent in the night, can you guess who the murderer was last night? ”

"I don't know, that's why I want to go to the ancestral hall to see the bodies of those two people." I said the purpose.

Xiao Sanzi suddenly opened his mouth in surprise: "No! Absolutely not! It's too much of a rebellion! The third son waved his hand again and again, and then turned around and wanted to slip away: "I don't want to cut off my children and grandchildren in the future!" ”

"Don't worry, absolutely not. If it really doesn't work, I reluctantly ask my future wife to have more children, and then send one to you for adoption. I grabbed him and pulled him forward.

"No, I'm still young and an only son, and our family is still counting on me to inherit the lineage!" The third son resisted desperately.

"What about Zhang Wenyi? Do you like her, do you really want to marry her? I stared at him with my eyes and began to torture his will in a righteous and awe-inspiring tone, "Obviously, there is a huge force behind this matter, and this force is definitely inextricably linked with Zhang Wenyi, or it is possible that she has been used.

"That force is definitely not simple, if it thinks that Zhang Wenyi is no longer useful, it may kill people!" Although there is really no basis for these words, I don't bother to care so much, so I will bluff him first.

"So serious? Wouldn't it be too alarmist, would it? The little third son began to break out in a cold sweat.

I squeezed out a sincere smile on my face: "Do you have the courage to gamble with Zhang Wenyi's life?" Give you three minutes to think about whether to find out the truth and save the lover of your dreams, or to be swayed by the old ideas in your head and regret it for the rest of your life. ”

The little third son held his head and smiled bitterly, looking like a rooster who had lost the battle and was unlucky enough to fall into the water. "I'll take you." Soon, he raised his head and said resolutely.

Ancestral halls are temples that worship ancestors or sages, and no matter where in China, ancestral halls are all over the city and countryside.

A place, the ancestral hall is the largest ancestral hall, as an important local public building, generally placed at both ends of the village and town, near the mountain or there is a slope of the place, the scale is mostly not too small, less than two in, more than four or five in, the building gradually rises according to the terrain, the main building is generally placed behind the hall, quite varied. The single side is the central axis of the line two or more triple courtyards set together, with the archway, and the plane of the branch temple is mostly quadrangle courtyard type.

The place where the bodies of the local bigwigs such as the strange old man and the strange stone wood are placed is, of course, the general shrine of the town.

It is said that the cause of death of Qi Shimu is exactly the same as that of the old man Qi, his neck was strangled with a rope, and after his death, the murderer cut his throat with a knife and bled out, and he didn't know what the local police station was eating, such a big case was not carefully investigated, and his body was hastily placed in the ancestral hall, there is definitely a problem!

The main shrine in this town is a four-way pattern in the middle of the rules.
