Chapter 027: The Old Mansion
She had been wearing a wooden pendant for as long as she could remember, and Grandma Jo told her that it was an amulet handed down from her ancestors, and that she had never taken it off when she slept.
But...... Last month, the pendant rope suddenly broke, and she casually put the pendant in the drawer, ready to go back and replace it with a red rope, but then she couldn't find it.
"Grandma, the pendant...... Lost. She remembered putting the pendant in a drawer and not knowing where it had gone.
"What!" On the phone, Grandma Qiao's thunderous voice came. "Dead girl, did you lose the pendant?"
"The rope broke, so I put the pendant in the drawer, and it turned out to be ...... I can't find it. Qiao Keer replied weakly.
"The rope is broken...... "Grandma Qiao muttered as if talking to herself, was silent for a long time, sighed heavily and said, "Alas~ It seems to be providence."
"Grandma, why are you talking weird?" Qiao Ke'er frowned, not knowing why she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Ke'er, you come back before dark tomorrow, you have something very important!"
"Grandma, I'm ......"
"Toot toot-" Before Qiao Ke'er could finish the words, there was a busy tone on the phone.
……
With doubts and uneasiness, Qiao Keer immediately booked the earliest long-distance bus ticket online, and simply packed two clothes and rushed to the station.
The address of Laohuai Village is very remote, take a few hours of long-distance bus to the county seat, and have to transfer two more times, and walk a small road to the village entrance.
The long-distance bus for several hours was very difficult, most of the passengers on the bus slept on the seats, and the three people sitting in the back row of Qiao Keer were fighting the landlord, and their voices were a little noisy.
Qiao Keer put on headphones, played a soft music, and leaned back in his seat to close his eyes and recuperate.
It may be that I didn't have a good rest last night, and I was swept away by a strong sleepiness after a while.
I don't know how long it took, but it was dark all around.
Qiao Keer faintly heard footsteps behind him, getting closer and closer......
She was startled, and her whole heart went to her throat. The footsteps grew clearer and clearer, and almost everything around them melted into the darkness, and nothing could be seen.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared not far away!
I didn't have time to think in my head, and almost instinctively raised my legs and ran in the direction of the light. The surrounding scenery gradually became clearer, and an old red-walled mansion appeared in front of me, with dark red walls and moss-covered tiles...... It's weird everywhere.
Qiao Ke'er swallowed, her eyes fixed on the slowly opening red door. Her instincts told her that there must be something terrible hiding behind the door, and that she should get out of here immediately!
However, there seemed to be something in the old mansion that attracted her, and her legs moved forward uncontrollably, and she stiffly raised her legs to step into the threshold......
By the time she reacted, she was already standing in the courtyard of the old house.
The surrounding pillars were covered with white strips, and a black lacquered coffin was placed in the center of the courtyard. At this moment, Qiao Keer seemed to be fascinated by something, and walked towards the coffin in a daze.
In the coffin lay a beautiful woman in a bright red wedding dress, with fair skin and rosy cheeks, as if she had fallen asleep.
A few red plums fluttered down and fell into the coffin.
Qiao Keer looked at the woman lying in the coffin, and froze in place like a lightning strike for a moment, shocked, frightened, and panicked......
That face actually looks exactly like her!
"How could it be ......" Qiao Ke'er staggered back a few steps.
