Sure enough, there is a kitchen, Xu Fenglin said that everyone just cooked and ate here, it is rare to enter this yard together, and the kitchen is next to the attic. Although it was still afternoon, they also drove to the bottom of the mountain early to buy it. An Yuxuan also said that she came to help Master Xu, obviously she was the eldest young master, but she still had to cook for us by herself. Xu Fenglin smiled and said to himself: "If this was before, I would have at least two maids!" ”

"Less, there are more than four around Jia Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions!" Tao Ran patted Xu Fenglin, "But you, the level of the landlord, it's good to have one." Have you ever gone to see the exhibition hall in the city, that is, the statue of your Xu family that used to oppress our poor people is still there! Hahaha! ”

Jian Jue came over and asked, "You mean, your grandmother's mother used to be the eldest lady of the Xu family?" Later married? ”

"Yes, but it's not to marry an outsider, it's also to marry into the family. So they are all members of the Xu family, that is, some live outside, and some live in the courtyard. Xu Fenglin explained, "But my grandmother left early, otherwise, I can still ask the Xu family what happened back then, haha." ”

Jian Jue asked An Yuxuan, can she see the layout of the house in her room? An Yuxuan said yes, and Jian decided to go to the balcony of her room to have a look. Jian Jue saw that there was a small courtyard in the square of the house, and he didn't know what it was used for.

However, Jian Jue still saw that looking at the structure of the eaves, there was a place similar to an ancestral hall.

"There, I'll have to take a good look there." Jian Du thought that the ancestral hall was an old building that was originally preserved, and there should be a lot of information, and about the Xu family's extermination case, Jian Du searched for the news of the year.

Some of them are stories from newspapers, told by local elders. The people of the Xu family basically didn't go out later, and those people from their own family gradually stopped intermingling, and later heard that bandits came to burn and loot. There is also a saying that the young grandmother of the Xu family colluded with bandits to plague the Xu family, and in that famine era, she even killed the servants of the Xu family and ate human flesh to survive.

At dusk, Xu Fenglin went into the kitchen alone with the vegetables. He first cleaned the desk, then the dishes, chopsticks and pots. Jane was funny, and one person still helped fill the water tank with water, which was indeed enough for a few days.

It's good to eat some stir-fried vegetables and stews in the evening, Xu Fenglin thought, and started to do it. He cut it over and over again, and couldn't help but think of the old man's words in the morning, in a trance, he stopped the kitchen knife and looked at the ordinary white bowl next to him suddenly became a carved white porcelain bowl, but Xu Fenglin laughed for a while. It turned out that the shadows of the flowers and trees outside were projected in, and it was a mistake.

He didn't feel anything about himself, but if he was really the eldest young master, he wouldn't have to cook by himself.

The caress of the leaves and the wind outside the window brought a soft and respectful salutation, "Yes, young master." "The voice is very ethereal, as if shyly hidden in the petals of a flower, only to come out when the wind blows, and then dissipate when the wind stops.

Xu Fenglin came back to his senses and his eyes widened.

He looked behind him, and could only laugh to himself that he had just fallen into a demon. However, he walked out of the window and frowned, "An Yuxuan? Still is... Tao Ran? He shouted inexplicably.

No one answered.

Then Tao Ran and Lu Qiancai came over, they went upstairs to charge their mobile phones, and saw what Xu Fenglin was looking at, thoughtfully.

An Yuxuan passed by the attic and saw Jian Jue coming out alone with a backpack.

At this time, An Yuxuan, although she promised to help Xu Fenglin, was attracted by Jian Jie. So she chose to follow Jian Decision.

Jane turned left and right, and came to the back of an empty room, behind which there was only a narrow corridor, and the corridor was still a gray black wooden floor. Underneath the hallway was a stagnant water, unwavering. Jian Du walked through the corridor, went down three or two stone steps, and pushed open a small wooden door. He sensed someone, turned around, and screamed.

"Don't be afraid," An Yuxuan was on the stone stairs, just high enough to cover his mouth, "It's me." ”

Jane was incredulous, "You're following me?" ”

An Yuxuan didn't care about him, pushed open the wooden door and looked at it, and suddenly realized, "It turns out that the innermost courtyard is to go in here!" ”

"Hey, there's nothing in here, what are you doing here?"

An Yuxuan looked at him, full of suspicion, and squinted, "Since there is nothing here, what are you here to see?"

"I... Can I do that person without looking at the house? Huh?"

"I'll go shopping too." After An Yuxuan finished speaking, she saw Jian Du looking embarrassed. She remembered Jian Jie's action of lifting his clothes before, and curiously pulled away his clothes, and at this look, An Yuxuan saw that the clothes were lined with yellow paper cinnabar charms.

Jian Jue never imagined that An Yuxuan would lift his clothes, and by the time he reacted, An Yuxuan had already finished reading.

"What are you doing? How can you lift my clothes and look at them? "Jian Jue is a little overwhelmed, what is this? Suddenly playing hooligan?

Unexpectedly, An Yuxuan lowered her head and whispered sorry. Then she looked up and put on a serious expression, "But, Jian Jue, why do you have so many town talismans on you?"

After thinking about it, An Yuxuan's eyes lit up, "Wow, Jian Decision, you don't take me with you when you act by yourself?" Isn't that interesting? ”

"Say it, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night." Jian Jue touched An Yuxuan's head, and when he touched it like this, An Yuxuan quickly dodged it, strange and uncomfortable.

"Why should I be afraid? Jian Jue, aren't you a Taoist priest? ”

Jian Jue nodded slowly, but he didn't say sure, "Wrong, I'm a ghost detective." ”

"Ghosts? Ghost Detective?" An Yuxuan had never heard of this, "Aren't you all dead on the dark web?" ”

"No," said Jane, "what am I doing with this?"

"So what are you doing? You're a detective, right? So are you out alone to catch ghosts? Don't take me with you yet? An Yuxuan asked a series of questions.

Jian Jue scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, he smiled embarrassedly, "How to say my daily work, well......, maybe it's to help other people solve some weird things, so I'm used to doing things alone." ”

"I knew that I was also a ghost detective, and I really couldn't do it at all as a psychic."

"Hey, you want to be a play, your psychic ability is pretty good. Study hard every day and think less about these feudal superstitions. Jane decided to take her out of here.

An Yuxuan was grabbed by Jian Jue's arm and walked outside.

She hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" It's all here? Why don't we go and see it together? ”

"Don't come, I think it's weird here." Jane wasn't joking, the deeper the courtyard went, the more weird it became.

"I've been in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, Jane, take me along, don't act alone. Lu Qian is still hired by me, and I have to help him solve this matter. An Yuxuan said a lot, she thought that she must have been killed by herself.

Jian Jue couldn't say anything about her, and walked towards Xu Fenglin and walked to the kitchen door, where there was already a burst of rice aroma.

"Xu Fenglin," Jian Jue shouted inside, "the two of us are here to help you." ”

Xu Fenglin walked out of it and asked An Yuxuan casually: "I said before that I would come to help, Xiaoxuan, you came to help eat ready-made?"

"No, cheer you up." An Yuxuan leaned forward and was pushed away by Xu Fenglin with a palm. Instead, she was aggrieved, "Wow, look at him, his temper is getting worse and worse." Tao Ran walked out of it and exhaled, "I haven't eaten steamed rice for a long time, you can set the table." I saw you two wandering again, and in the evening, if you are not afraid, go shopping! ”

In the evening, the five of them ate in the courtyard, and the warm yellow lamp in the attic illuminated the courtyard. The wires of the lamps are led down the mountain, and the cold pots and pans are all stored here, and they can be taken if they are used, so Xu Fenglin said that he also worked hard to not only carry water but also help with tableware.

"I chopped even the firewood! It's good for you to be the eldest young master!" Tao Ran counted Xu Fenglin while eating.

Xu Fenglin smiled lightly, "I didn't let you come, you came, just help do something, and make the best use of it." ”

"Hey," Jian Jue looked at An Yuxuan, "Then they work, Xu Fenglin cooks, will we just wash the dishes?" ”

"So what else can I do? Listen to the eldest young master!" An Yuxuan spoke in the tone of the two of them, "I was squeezed to wash the dishes at home, and it was not the same when I came out." An Yuxuan was already very open-minded in her heart.

Lu Qian glanced at An Yuxuan, and then laughed, An Yuxuan glanced at him with a puzzled expression. Jian Jue learned from their conversation that the four of them grew up on the street as childhood sweethearts, and it is difficult for those who live in buildings to see such a relationship now.

Lu Qian actually thought it was funny, "Young Master Xu Fenglin, will I call you that in the future?" ”

"Don't, don't, aren't you embarrassed?"

"Ouch, young master, I love to call you that, I call you like this, I feel comfortable! My face is bright!" Tao Ran immediately lengthened his tone and said in a sharp voice.

Xu Fenglin raised his eyes, trying to see the person in front of him thoroughly, "Your servility is deep enough, and you haven't changed it for thousands of years?" Xu Fenglin really didn't like this title, he felt that he shouldn't be called that here, and the other reasons were also unclear in the clouds, anyway, it sounded very uncomfortable.

Jian Jue noticed his discomfort and said, "Don't shout, this big yard, barren mountains and wild forests, strange and infiltrating." "Actually, if it weren't for some rumors of ghosts, this would be an elegant place in the mountains. I don't know if it's because of the psychological effect, but since I know something, I feel that the night here is gloomy.

After eating, Xu Fenglin accompanied An Yuxuan to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and he also praised An Yuxuan for washing well. An Yuxuan sighed, "You were held at home with a gun pointed at your head, and you were also clean." ”

Xu Fenglin burst out laughing, "Who pointed a gun at your head?"

"My mom - she didn't, but it gave me the feeling that she was pointing a gun at my head, otherwise how would I be willing to wash the dishes with my high level?" After speaking, An Yuxuan pretended to sigh helplessly.

In the evening, Lu Qian had already arranged to live in the attic together, and An Yuxuan lived upstairs alone. Lu Qian was going to stay, but he still received a call at the time of the time and had to go to the company, so he had to give up and drove away overnight. He said that if something happened in the house in the past few days, he would call him, and Lu Qianhao would come back in time.

An Yuxuan called her mother on her mobile phone and told her that she was with Tao Ran and Xu Fenglin. Her mother told her to listen to Xu Fenglin's words and not to run around. An Yuxuan replied: "I'm just running around, you don't know!"

"Then you can try." Mom hung up the phone after coldly speaking.

Then An Yuxuan said eloquently: "Look, she has an invisible pistol that is pointed at my head at any time." She nodded her head, indicating that she had been coerced into doing unfree things.

Xu Fenglin shook his head helplessly, and he even saw An Yuxuan whispering to the phone on the black screen: "Try it!"

"Listen to your mother, he's worried about you." Xu Fenglin sat on the side of An Yuxuan's bed and said, "Think about it, we used to go out to play behind our parents' backs when we were children, but fortunately nothing happened." ”

Xu Fenglin smiled: "Okay, Xiaoxuan, go to bed early."

"Where's Jian Jue?" An Yuxuan didn't want to sleep, she didn't see Jian Jue a little vigilant for a while.

"He? He's downstairs, what?"

An Yuxuan jumped over and got out of bed, and ran on the wooden floor with a clangling sound, "I'll go find Jian Du!" Look what the hell he's up to! She said and ran downstairs with a "knock knock".

Xu Fenglin grabbed her coat from the bed and chased it out: "Wait, it's cold outside, hey?" An Yuxuan? Wear some clothes!"

When An Yuxuan arrived, Jian Jue held his hands in his pockets, as if he was going out with something. Jian Jie's face was lost, Xu Fenglin came down and saw Jian Jie's mood change, so Xu Fenglin tilted his head and said to him with a smile: "You just take her to play, what can happen?"

"Damn, An Yuxuan, I'm really going to do the right thing!" Jian Du was still in a hurry.

An Yuxuan hurriedly patted Jian Jie's arm and comforted him: "I believe in you, Jian Jie!" Take me to see it! When I beg you. ”

"I'll take you next time."

"I'm calling you to save face!" An Yuxuan's eyes narrowed.

“...... That, Miss Ann, please. "Jane is determined to laugh at others for being a young master, and you are quite like a young lady.

As soon as Jian Jue gave up his hand, An Yuxuan shook his hand and swaggered out of the threshold. Jian Jue motioned to Xu Fenglin for them to go to the courtyard for a walk, and Xu Fenglin shrugged silently.

As Jian Jue left the courtyard with An Yuxuan, the surroundings suddenly fell into the silence of the night.

Xu Fenglin leaned against the pillars on both sides of the steps, remembering the first time he came. At that time, An Yuxuan was silent when she came over, let alone much; With his head down, he stretched out his slender finger to point to the courtyard, and his voice was so small that it seemed like the wind was crossing the water:

"There's something wrong with this house... I don't think something is right. ”

Although Lu Qian was puzzled, he never felt offended, but asked An Yuxuan very seriously, "Xiaoxuan, what do you mean?" I just bought this house. ”

"Your house..., there's a problem, there are a lot of people hidden in it, I feel very messy." An Yuxuan frowned, it was the first time she had such a feeling, she suddenly felt a lot of pain in her head, and it was very messy.

"Let's go out first, Xiaoxuan is uncomfortable."

"Don't..., give me saliva to drink first? I'm slow. An Yuxuan covered her head and said.

An Yuxuan later said that she came to be a psychic to help see what was wrong with the house, and Lu Qian also agreed according to her, who knows, An Yuxuan also invited a ghost detective to come over.

Actually..., Xu Fenglin doesn't completely think that Jian Jue and An Yuxuan are made by charlatans to make money, but if you believe An Yuxuan, it means that Xu Fenglin must also believe in strange forces outside the world.

Here, Jian Jue was asking An Yuxuan's date of birth, and after knowing it, Jian Jue took out a red thread and wrapped a knot on An Yuxuan's middle finger.

"I've soaked it in glutinous rice water for a long time, don't take it off, remember." Jian Jue pointed to the pair An Yuxuan and admonished.

An Yuxuan looked at her fingers and said, "Is it safe for me to have this?"

"How is that possible?" Jian Jue took out his pocket for a long time, took out a triangular talisman, and put it on An Yuxuan's neck. Then, he grabbed a handful of rice from his pocket and stuffed it to An Yuxuan, followed by a fruit bracelet with an unknown pattern.

When An Yuxuan was fully armed, he was relieved and took her into a small courtyard.

"What are you going to do if you gave me the amulet?"

"What do you say I'll do?"

"You're cold." An Yuxuan replied very casually.

Entering the inner courtyard, there is a very small broken wooden house inside, surrounded by layers of weeds and bamboos more than one person high, and outside the wall is a cluster of towering green bamboos, the branches are bent, more like the dry claws of the old man. Against the backdrop of all this, the night is like a deep sea that does not see through the light, quiet and deep.

Jian Jue squatted down at the door, took out a small porcelain vase, and inserted a wicker from nowhere. He put the porcelain vase on the ground and sat down cross-legged by himself, and An Yuxuan also learned from him to sit cross-legged. Jian Never quietly took out a talisman, lit a match, burned it, and immediately released it when the fire was about to arrive.

He looked in the direction of the ashes, his hands on his knees, his fingers beating the rhythm.

"Over there."

There is no wind, but the willow leaves and the ashes fall in the same direction.

Jian decided to speak, stood up, lifted his clothes, and pulled out a folding shovel from his belt, cutting through the weeds and branches in front of him. An Yuxuan also stood up and followed, she didn't want to disturb Jian Jue.

Jian Jue walked to the old house with the porcelain vase, squatted down, and shoveled it into the soil with a shovel.

He kept digging, once, twice... It was as if Jane wouldn't stop until she dug up something.

The damp mud was stained with Jian Jue's hands, and slowly, the sleeves and pants were also covered with wet mud, and he looked embarrassed. Later, the pit was dug deeper and deeper, only to hear the hard sound of the shovel, and Jian Jie's eyes lit up: "There is something!"

The flashlight and the moonlight were staggered, and the things in the soil were faintly reflected in the white light.

An Yuxuan squatted down in surprise and asked, "Jian Jue, is there a baby?"

But Jian's heavy expression told her that it wouldn't be that simple. He didn't speak, threw down the shovel and began to dig the soil with both hands, An Yuxuan couldn't stay idle, followed to help, this time, a miserable white woman's face was clearly dug out of the soil!

In the moonlight, his face was cold, but he seemed to come to life again, and his eyes were blank.

"Ahh The two men reacted for a moment before screaming.

If you look closely, you can see that it is the face of a statue of Guanyin.

Jian Jue found a problem, the eyes of this video were artificially destroyed, there were no eyeballs, or directly cleared the craftsman's finishing touch!

"Poisonous!" Jian Jue scolded.

An Yuxuan thought that this was the end, but she saw Jian Jue put her sleeves on her arms, took a deep breath, and began to dig endlessly.

His entire arm was smeared with a layer of wet mud, like a working miner. Jane was by no means crazy, he looked at everything in the soil steadily, occasionally digging the soil with a shovel around, and then using his mobile phone to illuminate the surrounding soil to observe. "The soil here doesn't look like the soil around it, and it looks like there's a lot of ground buried in front of this house."

"But... Aren't all these dirt the same?" An Yuxuan rubbed her eyes strangely.

"You see, there is a clear dividing line between these soils and the surrounding areas, although they are the same kind of backfill, but after all, they have been dug up and buried in them, and the color is not the same... Wait, this color. Jian Jue dug out a lump of soil from the dirt pit, put it under his nose and sniffed it, he shouted in shock: "It's Fangshu!"

Jian didn't dare to hesitate at this moment, he quickened the intensity and speed of his excavation, as if he had been determined to dig out something from just now.

The things in the soil slowly appeared, An Yuxuan leaned in, looked at it, was startled, and the cold hair behind her stood up. She had never seen such a scene: on the ground, there were all kinds of large and small, thousands of Buddha statues and Guanyin statues, and even fierce and evil statues. The excavated clay sculptures and porcelain statues have traces of destruction, especially the statues of the gods with their faces open and their fangs exposed, which were wrapped back and forth with red cloth strips and chains.

An Yuxuan looked at Jian Du for a while, and had a strange feeling in her heart.

She settled down, although her little heart was beating hard and fast, she still helped Jian to dig it.

When both of them were exhausted, Jian Jue raised his hand, "An Yuxuan, stop, there's no hope." The gods and Buddhas who keep the town safe... All of them were erased by magic and sealed in the ground. Even the eyes of the idol were destroyed, and it was impossible to see who was going to harm the people of this house. It's poisonous. ”

An Yuxuan held out a white porcelain statue of Guanyin more than ten centimeters high, and she said: "Don't be discouraged, you see, this one is fine."

Jian Jue smiled bitterly, but also nodded, "Okay, okay, you say...... An Yuxuan! Throw this away!"

"Smack!" Jian Jue almost reflexively knocked out the Guanyin statue.

With a crisp sound, the statue of Guanyin fell out.

When An Yuxuan reacted, she saw the peace charm in her palm, and she didn't know when it was blood-red. But his palms are clean.

Jane decided to take the talisman and light a fire.

"Fortunately, I also tied the Dao talisman to your hand, you look at that statue carefully, what has it become?" Jian Jue's mobile phone flashlight shone over, and the white porcelain statue of Guanyin was facing the night sky, smiling coldly. An Yuxuan thought that the Guanyin statue was soiled by the mud, but she didn't know that the Guanyin statue was drenched in black dog blood from head to toe!

Some of these idols that are still underground are buried face down, and they will never be able to turn over.

An Yuxuan sat on the ground, she couldn't imagine that such an antique house would be so terrifying behind it.

Jian Jue just wanted to comfort and comfort her not to be afraid, but suddenly, the wind began to blow in the yard, the weeds and sick trees swayed left and right, whining and sighing, and the bamboo rushing to the sky outside was also howling in the wind.

The secret of the house was finally discovered, and it endured all these hardships, carried the knife of the years, and opened the wounds, and it could not help but cry out in the wind.

"Ah--!h Jian Jue huddled beside An Yuxuan with his head in his arms, his whole body trembling.

An Yuxuan didn't care about being afraid, she frowned, gritted her teeth, and helped Jian Jue up, "Jian Jue, let's go out quickly!" ”

She shook Jian Jie's shoulder, Jian Jie's head fell on her shoulder, and An Yuxuan supported herself with one hand so that she didn't fall. But she noticed that Jian Jue was reading something with her eyes closed. The wind ruffled An Yuxuan's hair, and even blew Jian Jie's hair all over his face.

The wind had not stopped, nor did the noisy accusations around them, and they all had invisible hands, desperately crawling over.

Jian Jue was still muttering, "Don't make noise, don't make noise...... I know.... ”

An Yuxuan asked, "What's arguing?"

"Don't make any noise!" Jian Jue sat up abruptly and roared.

Wind stops.

Jian was sweating, he gasped and asked An Yuxuan, "Are you okay?" Were you scared?" After saying that, he stood up with difficulty and pulled An Yuxuan to his feet.

An Yuxuan didn't care, "It's okay, it's just that my legs are a little weak." However, it was not because of them, but that Jian Jue was indeed an extremely yin physique, and it was easy to disturb his mind if there was a little evil disturbance.

An Yuxuan shrank her head, not knowing if she said the wrong thing, "Just... Before... I don't know what to say. ”

"It's okay." Jian Jue tied another talisman to his palm, "After you go out, I'll clean up here, don't you come with me." ”

"Huh? What if you're in danger? ”

Jian never expected An Yuxuan to say this, he smiled, "It's safer for you to stay by Xu Fenglin's side than me." ”

They left the courtyard, and after Jian decided to leave, he threw a handful of rice behind him. It was like stopping something in the courtyard gate, because he smiled clearly.

"By the way, are we going to tell them?" An Yuxuan pulled the wrist of the simple decision.

"Tsk," Jian Jue also found it difficult, "I said it, but they didn't believe it." However, the old people all said that the old mansion still has spirituality, and Xu Fenglin is also a member of the Xu family, what if the old mansion will protect them? ”

"Damn~!" An Yuxuan opened her mouth exaggeratedly, "We are outsiders, isn't that dangerous?"

"What are you in danger, Miss?" Jian Du teased her, "Don't worry, I've given you all my own peace charms, and you'll be fine." ”

"Cool." An Yuxuan smiled at him.

"It's not cool. I didn't expect this to be the situation today, so I wouldn't have brought you here if I knew it wouldn't have come. Jian Jue showed a self-reproachful expression, he had no choice but to sigh and pat An Yuxuan's shoulder, "I'm sorry, let's go, let's go wash our hands." ”

They went to the kitchen, turned on the light, and were right outside the kitchen by the water tank, scooping water and washing their hands and faces.

Jian Jue looked at the clean water and thought for a moment.

He sent An Yuxuan back to the attic, Xu Fenglin was still reading downstairs, and when he saw them shaking their hands and throwing out water droplets, he asked with a smile: "Wow, two, this is going to the house to planing the baby."

An Yuxuan lowered her eyebrows and mouth, and sighed: "It's not just a baby, it's a big push!"

"Huh? What's wrong? Xu Fenglin asked with concern.

Jian Jue smiled and replied, "Nothing, nothing was found." We washed up and went upstairs to sleep, huh? You go to sleep, too. ”

"Okay, I'll finish what I've got in hand." Xu Fenglin sorted out the paper on the surface of the desk.

Jane decided to go back to his room.

And An Yuxuan had already found out that Xu Fenglin was on letterhead paper in her hand, so she was not busy going upstairs to see what Xu Fenglin was doing. Xu Fenglin didn't mind, and showed it to her generously, "This is what I found in the attic before, and I went to a friend to fix it." In the past, paper shattered at the touch of a button. It turned out that Xu Fenglin was also interested in the Xu family's previous affairs.

"Why are you looking at this? Could it be.... What happened before you investigated the Xu family? Wow, your style is really a bit like the last young master. An Yuxuan said half-jokingly.

Xu Fenglin was also very helpless, "You say every day that there is a problem with the house, I can't help it, let's understand the previous things of this house." ”

An Yuxuan asked, "So, you also believe in us?"

“... How so? Xu Fenglin slowly spoke, put down the letter, tilted his head to the side, and looked out the window, "I only believe that you won't lie to me, but I don't believe in those who are confused." His dark eyes mingled with the night, and he stared at it for a long time.

When she came back to her senses, An Yuxuan had already gone upstairs. Xu Fenglin also stumbled downstairs.

Only Jane put on his coat silently, and left the attic in the wind and night while everyone else had fallen asleep.
