Chapter 287: The Room That Will Change (12)
Soon the ceiling came down, and a completely different room appeared in front of Nie Xiaohu, with a red bed, red sheets, and a 'ghost' wearing red clothes and a white tongue standing in the center of the room!
When the ceiling completely fell to the ground, Nie Xiaohu shouted again: "Close the intake gate!" ”
Shi Ruining immediately pulled down the sluice, and calm returned to the corridor.
"Brother Tiger, a small boat has been pulled up by the chain!" , Cao Xiaohui over there couldn't help but exclaim.
"Boat?" , Nie Xiaohu's brows furrowed slightly, and he walked over quickly.
I saw a tight iron chain pulling a small boat to a level of the floor, and there was a large stone in the small boat, which seemed to be used for heavy weight.
Nie Xiaohu thought about it, walked closer and reached out to touch the bottom of the boat, only to hear the sound of "whooshing" water, Nie Xiaohu couldn't help laughing.
"What the hell is this? It looks scary! Cao Xiaohui asked with a surprised expression.
"That's the secret of the room that transforms!" , Nie Xiaohu shook his wet hand and turned his head to look at Yu Feihong who was leaning against the wall.
"You... How did you find out about this secret? ”
Yu Feihong's expression was gloomy, and he sighed softly and said, "Except for me and Feiyan, there should be no third person who knows this secret." ”
"The design of this mechanism of the predecessors is indeed exquisite, and it can be said that there is no one before or since!"
Nie Xiaohu shook his head and said, "At first, when Yu Huaitian told me that this room would become haunted, I didn't believe it, I just thought it was just a picture imagined by a child, but when I found this in Yu Feiyan's hands, I had to start reconsidering its authenticity. ”
As Nie Xiaohu spoke, he took out a small piece of red cloth from his arms and shook it in front of Feihong's eyes.
Yu Feihong glanced at the red cloth and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"At first, I couldn't figure out how the room could change, until yesterday when I went back and saw that the workers were repairing a small building, they were erecting a high shelf, and then using a rope through the pulley on the shelf to pull the tools and materials needed to pull it down, and that scene inspired me and reminded me of this room that can change.
But I couldn't think of how to make a huge room move up and down, until I heard a conversation between two officials about the grounding of a passenger ship, and it dawned on me how the room could move up and down.
I still remember when I first came here, Yu Feiyan once said to me, she said that your father often lies in bed, looking at the waterfall outside the window, and sighs that his life is like the waterfall, passing rapidly, which pointed out a very clear direction for me. ”
"What's wrong with that? I don't think there's a problem, huh? Cao Xiaohui asked puzzledly.
Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly and asked, "Where is Senior Yu's bedroom?" ”
"At the staircase on the east side of the second floor, is there anything wrong with that?" , Cao Xiaohui thought about it and said.
"Can you see the waterfall in that room?" , Nie Xiaohu smiled.
"That's right!" , Cao Xiaohui couldn't help but exclaim, "You can only see the woods over there, and you can't see the waterfall at all!" ”
"So I concluded that Senior Yu wasn't lying in his bedroom at all!"
Nie Xiaohu stomped two steps back and forth, and then said: "And Senior Yu can only lie down, he can't even sit up, he can't lie in the bedroom forever, he always has to go out to bask in the sun and breathe fresh air, so how did he go downstairs?" Yu Feiyan was the only one in this building to take care of him, and it was obviously impossible to take the stairs.
Then I thought of the pool under the building, and the two sluices in the kitchen, and then the two officials who talked about the running aground of the passenger ship, and the mystery was solved!
When the sluice gate is closed, the water in the pool under the house rises, and the boat rises and the room it pulls down to the bottom; To raise it, simply open the sluice gate, drain the water in the pool, sink the boat, and the room will be pulled up! ”
The more Nie Xiaohu spoke, the more excited he became, and after clearing his throat, he said, "Now, I'll talk about the situation at the time of the crime!" Just the night before yesterday, you! ”
Nie Xiaohu pointed at Yu Feihong: "You first set up the puppet in the room, and set up the mechanism on the puppet's body, and then sneaked out of Lingshui Village, and hurried here, you are Yu Feiyan's sister, although it is the middle of the night, she naturally opened the door for you."
Then the two of you sisters started talking, but soon you got into an argument, and then for some reason you put down the room with the 'ghost', and you know about it.
In this room, you took advantage of Yu Feiyan's unpreparedness and stabbed her to death with a dagger, but you didn't notice that Yu Feiyan tore off a small piece of cloth from this ghost when she fell to the ground! ”
As he spoke, Nie Xiaohu stepped into the room and lifted the hem of the ghost's clothes, where a small piece was obviously torn off, Nie Xiaohu took the piece of cloth in his hand and compared it, and the tear was tightly sealed.
Nie Xiaohu smiled and continued: "At this moment, Yu Huaitian, who was sleeping upstairs, was awakened by the sound of iron chains, and came downstairs to look for his aunt.
When Yu Huaitian found out that his aunt had been killed, and ran out screaming, you dragged Feiyan's body from the house to the corridor, then raised the room again, and then rode back to your home in Lingshui Village. ”
After Nie Xiaohu finished speaking, he squatted down and touched a few blackened places on the carpet, which were already coagulated blood, extending from the center of the room to the door.
"Is there something wrong with what I said?" , Nie Xiaohu stared at Yu Feihong, who had almost collapsed, and asked coldly.
"Again, I had been smoking silk at home at the time, and I didn't go anywhere, as for the puppet, I made it to play when I was bored", Yu Feihong seemed to be making a final resistance.
"Humph!"
Nie Xiaohu smiled coldly: "After you returned home the night before yesterday, because you were afraid that someone would see the shadows of two people on the window, you blew out the lights as soon as you entered the house, and took the puppet under the bed in the dark, and it was precisely because of this that you didn't notice that you had left incriminating evidence on the puppet!" ”
After Nie Xiaohu finished speaking, he picked up the puppet and turned it over, everyone's eyes instantly focused on it, and they saw that on the back of the puppet, there was an obvious bloody handprint.
"You patronized and washed the blood off your hands, but forgot about it, right?"
Nie Xiaohu asked with a smile: "Do you want to compare and see if you left it?" ”
Yu Feihong finally couldn't hold on, and sat on the carpet against the wall, his eyes were dim, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "This is the retribution that Yu Feiyan deserves!" ”
"Retribution?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned.
"Yes, retribution!"
Yu Feihong nodded and said, "Do you think that she is not married, is it really just to take care of her father who is paralyzed in bed?" My father was a skilled man, and there were so many people who came to him to make blades and hidden weapons, and those people didn't care about money at all, because my father's wealth could be said to be rich! Yu Feiyan, a slut, is nothing more than finding these treasures, so that she can live a luxurious life!
Of course, she didn't find it, and when she saw Huaitian, she felt threatened, because her father had left an iron box with Huaitian in front of the head of Tianquan Village and several old people. This slut didn't dare to kill Huaitian, so she came up with a poisonous plan to decorate the room as it is now.
My father designed the room to be able to easily transport larger and heavier materials and utensils, but I don't know how the room could move up and down, and my father never mentioned it to me.
Yu Feiyan, a slut, used this room to scare my son, trying to scare him out of his mind, or to scare him insane, so that she could remove the threat.
Huaitian had mentioned the haunted room to me more than once, and at first I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was his own imagination, but every year after Huaitian returned from here, he would mention it to me, and I became suspicious.
Finally, the night before yesterday, I suddenly thought of this room that could move up and down, and understood her plot, and I hurried over. Under my questioning, this slut not only confessed, but also laughed at me for breaking my original oath, and I killed her in a fit of rage! ”
After speaking, Yu Feihong seemed to have put down a thousand catties of burden, and covered his face with his hands and cried.
After hearing this, Nie Xiaohu also kept shaking his head, walking back and forth in the corridor, Cao Xiaohui and the others also sighed, and they couldn't tell what it was like in their hearts.
When Nie Xiaohu walked to the side of the boat, he stopped, staring at the boat and the large stone in the boat.
"Above the water, under the water", Nie Xiaohu kept repeating this sentence in his heart, and finally, he slapped his forehead with his hand and shouted: "I understand!" ”
This sudden cry startled everyone, including Yu Feihong, everyone looked at Nie Xiaohu with shocked eyes, not knowing what he understood.
"Bring a hammer and a chisel!" , Nie Xiaohu stared at the stone in the boat and said.
Soon, a small hammer and a small chisel were handed to Nie Xiaohu, and Nie Xiaohu leaned in and carefully chiseled on the stone.
Strange to say, the surface of the seemingly hard stone seemed to be pasted with a layer of green ash, Nie Xiaohu hammered down, and a large piece fell off, Nie Xiaohu wiped it with his hand, and under the illumination of the torch, the yellow light reflected inside.
"It's gold!" , Cao Xiaohui couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh my God! It's such a big piece, it won't take a few lifetimes, right? Mao Guangjian smacked his lips and said.
"Brother Tiger, how did you see that?" , Cao Xiaohui asked in surprise.
"First of all, I wonder that this small boat, combined with the weight of this stone, can't pull a house at all, so what's the problem? It can only be this stone.
Secondly, there is this sentence in the Tibetan poem written by Yu Senior: 'Above the water, under the water', above the water, referring to this small boat, and under the water......"
Nie Xiaohu deliberately sold Guanzi, and after seeing Cao Xiaohui's gradually changing face, he hurriedly said: "How do you say an idiom? Call the water to fall ......"
"It's out!" Cao Xiaohui said in surprise, "Under the water, it means that the water falls out of the stone, and it refers to this stone!" ”
"Exactly!" , Nie Xiaohu snapped his fingers.
"You're getting smarter!" , Nie Xiaohu laughed.
"You're ......!" , Cao Xiaohui immediately raised her willow eyebrows.
Before Cao Xiaohui could continue, Nie Xiaohu had already rushed out like a frightened rabbit......
