Hua Hu was standing in the hall at the moment, because the windows were sealed, so the light was dim, so I had to open the door, and then turn on the flashlight of my mobile phone, and the first thing that caught my eye was the shrine with the incense burner. She walked over to the shrine and looked at the four half-burned incense sticks inside, as if they didn't mean anything.

She raised her hand and pointed to the left and to the right, as if to ask me, "Which way are you going?"

I thought about it for a moment, and pointed to the house to the west—after all, I hadn't been to that room before, and I didn't know anything about it.

Unlike the side door leading to the east side of the house, which only has a felt curtain hanging on it, the side door leading to the west side of the hall is a thick old wood, the wooden door has become black over the years, and there is a very old-fashioned iron latch hanging from the iron nose. It was probably the wind blowing in after the main entrance was opened, and the iron latch was still fluttering.

I pushed open the wooden door, and suddenly I felt a cold, musty smell hit my face, and I choked several times in a row.

"It's alright, dear." Hua Hu hurriedly came over and helped me to ask.

"It's okay, it's okay." I put a flashlight on my mobile phone into the west side of the room, and found that the windows on this side were more tightly blocked than on the east side, and even the brick joints were completely blocked, which is probably the cause of the mold in the house.

I turned an angle to look at the room, and who knew that a bright light flashed back on the opposite side, and when I couldn't open my eyes, I noticed two figures in front of me.

"Ahh I was startled and shouted briefly, but then I realized that there was only a mirror in front of me, and the two figures were the figures of me and Hua Huan, but the mirror surface was probably not very smooth, so it looked like the characters were deformed.

Beneath the mirror was an old wooden dresser, covered in dust. There are several drawers on the dresser, and the traces of someone pulling on the handle of the drawer should be left by Xiao Yu and Shi Chong before. Directly above the dresser is a large glass mirror, and under the glass mirror is a photograph.

I held up my phone and approached to take a picture of two little girls in nice shirts, standing in front of the backdrop of a photo studio, holding each other's hands and smiling at the camera.

Kui Yanxiao once said that the owner of this old mansion, Kui Shengchuan, had two daughters back then, one of whom drowned when he was seven years old, and the remaining one grew up to go crazy and ran away, and this photo is probably a group photo of the Kui family's daughters back then.

Nothing was found in the drawer of the dresser, so we walked to the west door, lifted the curtain, and walked into the westernmost room. As soon as I stepped forward, I saw a shadow whizzing past me.

I was so frightened that I quickly ducked back, just in the arms of Hua Fei, who came with me, but the phone fell to the ground by mistake. Hua Hu was also stunned for a moment, she hurriedly helped me, picked up the mobile phone with one hand and shone it into the house, and the black shadow where the pillar of light swept past again.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," she said, patting me on the shoulder, "just a mouse." ”

At this time, the black shadow flashed again, and I finally saw its true face, which turned out to be just a bat.

I took my phone from Hua Hu and extinguished the flashlight, and the whole room suddenly went completely dark, as black as hell, and I couldn't see even a trace of light.

"What are you doing?" Hua Hu asked me.

"It's strange, there is no gap in the two rooms on the west side, how did the bats get in?" I muttered to myself and turned on my flashlight again.

Hua Fei sniffed hard, she looked up at the roof and said, "The rat's nest is on the purlin." ”

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw two bats flying down from the roof, flying around and dancing with the bat from before.

I wondered about the bat, and I held my phone up, trying to light up the whole Westinghouse.

Then I was amazed to find that the room was so messy. It should be the utility room of the whole house, with all kinds of shabby furniture and other things thrown around on the floor, as well as bottles and jars, pots and pans, clothes and bedding, and even shovels and pickaxes, which are almost indistinguishable from a garbage dump.

Seeing this, I can probably understand why there are fewer items in other rooms, and I dare to pile them all up in this room.

Hua Hu was obviously not interested in the dusty rags, and a few bats were flying around, making the house dusty, dirty, and messy, so she just glanced at it and withdrew.

"It's a boring room." She used an adjective that didn't quite fit, but it was apt to comment.

The two of us walked back to the hall and lifted the curtain on the east side of the room. I had already seen the first room at the time, so I walked straight to the easternmost room.

The windows of the two rooms on the east side have been stacked with bricks, but they are obviously not as tightly built as the West House. The sunlight peeks in through the cracks, and for some reason it reminds me of the hedgehogs I saw in the yard when I was a child.

Strangely, the easternmost room was the opposite of the westernmost room, empty, with not a single piece of furniture, not a single clutter, only dust all over the walls.

Since there was nothing, Hua and I had no choice but to retreat, and then I suddenly remembered the big wooden box in the wardrobe of the first room in the east.

"Fishlock wooden box?" Hua Hu was very interested.

"Yes, it's just that the wooden box was locked, I don't know if Lin Ying and they checked it later." I turned around and walked over to the big closet and opened the door.

But as soon as I opened the door, I was stunned, for the wooden box had indeed been opened, and as expected, it was empty, like the easternmost room.

I shone the mobile phone flashlight into the box, only to see a layer of smooth cowhide under the wooden box, I grabbed the corner of the cowhide, and pulled it hard, the cowhide turned up, and there was a woody fragrance under the box, which smelled like the smell of camphor wood.

There was nothing under the box, so I decided to ask Lin Ying tomorrow if they had opened the box and what was inside.

I stood up and found that Hua Fei was still standing aside, staring at something in a daze.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"That's it." She pointed to the corner of the closet and said, "The face I 'painted' is that." ”

I followed her fingers and saw nothing in the corner of the cabinet except for the fish lock that had been unscrewed.

I looked at Hua Hu, and then at the lock, and suddenly understood one thing—that is, the strange human face drawn by Hua Hu was very similar to the pattern of the lock!
