Chapter 497: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest
The fat man's voice was very loud, and there were a few echoes in this empty room, and after shouting, he waited there with Wu Yi, but until the echo disappeared, all corners of this house did not give the slightest response, and it was still quiet, as if there were only two of them here!
The fat man didn't believe in evil, and whispered to Wu Yi,
"In this room, there is a secret door in eighty percent, and that person hid in the secret door before we entered the house, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find him!"
Wu Yi looked around this room, this is an ordinary earthen house, the walls are all dirt lumps, Wu Yi really can't connect this room with the secret door, and he can't see where there is a secret door after a few glances.
At this time, the fat man walked to the low wooden table in front of the windowsill, and suddenly smiled and beckoned to Wu Yi,
"I'll just say there's a big living person in this room, look at this table!"
Wu Yi walked over and saw that there was a burning oil lamp on the wooden table, this oil lamp was burning the kind of grease of animals and beasts, and a small piece of grease had just been burned, and it seemed that this oil lamp had just been lit not long ago.
Next to the oil lamp, there was also a large blue and white bowl, and there was a cup of tea in the bowl, and a trace of heat came out of the bowl.
"The water in this bowl is still hot, which means that there is indeed a person standing here just now!"
Wu Yi also touched the bowl of water, indeed, the water is not yet cold, it should not have been poured for a long time, as if the people in this room had just poured water and were about to drink it, and they hurriedly hid when they heard the movement, but why did he hide? He couldn't move at all just now, no matter how he called him.
The fat man also frowned and thought about it, and then said in surprise,
"Could it be that the figure we saw, he is also a tomb robber here, he doesn't want to be discovered by us, so he hides it first?"
"It's possible, but it's not big."
Wu Yi said,
"If it's really a tomb robber, there's no reason why he would boil water here to drink, it's too blatant, and didn't you find that this house is very clean, it means that there have always been people living in it, unless the tomb robber has a habit of cleanliness, and he will help people clean up before coming here to rob the tomb."
The fat man nodded,
"That makes sense, well, let's go to other houses and have a look, nine out of ten here are lit up, I don't believe we can't find a living person! Damn, what's going on, we were worried that we would be found out by the people in this village at first, but now it's good, I wish I could come out and ask him what is going on in this village, it's like a ghost village! ”
Hearing that the fat man always put the word 'ghost' on his lips, Wu Yi said angrily,
"Don't be a ghost all the time, didn't you just say it, since there is a shadow, it means that it is not a ghost but a person, but he is hiding, let's go out quickly, since people don't want to come out to see us, there must be someone else's idea, let's go to other houses to see."
After saying that, he glanced here a few more times, lifted the curtain and walked out with the fat man.
The blind man also heard the conversation between Wu Yi and the fat man outside, and knew that the two did not find the person in the house without them explaining, and said,
"Master Wu, fat master, the atmosphere here is so ominous, the old man always feels like playing a drum in his heart, such a big village, we have been in for a long time without any sound, if it weren't for the two of you saying that the lights are bright here, the old man will definitely think that he has come to a deserted village that no one has lived in for a long time.
Let's just get out the same way first, and when it dawns tomorrow, it's not too late for us to come in and find out. ”
The fat man waved his hand and said,
"They are hiding and refusing to come out when they should sleep at night, and it is even more impossible to meet them during the day, if we don't understand this matter today, even if we go out, we won't be able to sleep well, so let's check him out in one go, otherwise I won't dare to come in a second time!"
Wu Yi also nodded and said to the blind man,
"It's a bit quiet here, but fortunately, there hasn't been any danger so far, well, let's find a few more, I don't believe everyone is hiding and refusing to show up!"
The blind man opened his mouth and held back for a long time before saying,
"Master Wu, the old man also knows that what you two said is right, but the old man has been holding back a sentence for a long time, and he hasn't said it, and I don't know if it's appropriate to say it at this time, you see ......"
While walking out, Wu Yi said,
"If there's anything you can't say, let's just say it."
The blind man swallowed his saliva, and hesitated for a moment before he slowly spoke,
"Master Wu, we said before that the residents of this village didn't move out to protect a certain secret, don't forget, this is purely our speculation.
And if our guess is wrong, if this village is really as rumored, the residents in it have already moved away, then have you ever wondered who is living in this village now......
The blind man's words were very awkward, Wu Yi and the fat man didn't understand, the fat man said,
"Who? Are you saying that someone moved in later? ”
The blind man shook his head, and said,
"Have you two forgotten why the people of the village moved away? According to rumors, the reason why they made up their minds to move away was...... It's because you hear the whispering sound coming from the village, and you can only hear it, but you can't see where the person who made the sound is!
And now, we can only see the lights here, but we can't see anyone in the village, this, this situation is not very similar to the villagers at that time, they can't see people! ”
Wu Yi was suddenly terrified by the blind man's words, and only felt a cool breath from the soles of his feet to his head, since he saw the lights in this village, he seemed to have subconsciously decided in his heart that the villagers in this village had not moved away, and those supernatural events were all rumors that they deliberately fabricated in order to scare off outsiders!
At this time, listening to the blind man say that if the people inside had already moved away, and also mentioned the terrible thing in it, Wu Yi felt uneasy in his heart, and compared the situation of several people at this time, and the rumored things encountered by the villagers, there is indeed a great similarity between the two, they are the people who can't find the people who can not speak when they hear the voice, and the few of them can only see the lights and can't find the people who live here......
"Blind, what do you mean...... Now living in this village is not the same group of villagers from the original village, but ...... But the invisible beings who scared the villagers away? ”
