Chapter 102: The Top of the Inn

Hearing Xiao Cui say this, my grandfather held her in one hand and a sword in the other, and scanned the room again--because Xiao Cui has been saying that something follows her these days, and she is very timid at night, and the oil lamp in the room is never extinguished when she sleeps.

After scanning the room again, my grandfather made a new discovery, and saw that the back window of the room was actually open, and the weather at this time and it rained a little, and the temperature was very low, so it was impossible to sleep at night with the window open.

My grandfather asked Xiaocui, "Did you open the window?" ”

Cui turned her head in my grandfather's arms, glanced at the window, and quickly turned her head back again. At this time, Xiaocui still looked very scared, and said in a trembling voice, "No, it's not ......"

My grandfather touched the top of Xiaocui's head and comforted her, "It's okay to have a brother here, don't be afraid." With that, my grandfather let go of Xiaocui and walked to the window, stood by the window and looked outside.

My grandfather and Xiaocui's guest room is on the second floor, and there is a street under the back window, and at this time the rain has stopped, and there is not even a single figure on the street, and my grandfather has not seen anything in the window.

But just as he was about to close the window, he suddenly found that the window paper on the two window sashes had two large holes that seemed to be scratched out by human fingers, as if someone had grabbed the lattice on the window sash from the outside and pulled the window open.

When I looked down again, the lower edge of the window was wet, as if something had stepped on it, and these were signs that something had opened the window from the outside and entered the room. My grandfather frowned suddenly.

In the folk buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the back windows were generally "dead fans", and the "dead fans" could not be opened, and most of them were round, and these windows were only used for lighting the room.

In the building, the window behind the room on the second floor is generally "single fan", and the single fan can be opened outward and upward. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a certain reform in the private housing architecture, especially the commercial buildings such as restaurants and inns, and there were many double windows that opened outwards and left and right, just like this inn, guests could open the back windows to see the beautiful scenery on the street.

After my grandfather closed the window, he turned around and asked Xiaocui, "Did you see that ghost?" ”

Xiao Cui nodded quickly, her heart palpitated, and replied in a trembling voice: "I was sleeping soundly just now, and suddenly I heard a pop, and I woke up, and I saw a ...... standing there at the window. Standing a ......"

"Standing on what?" My grandfather came to Xiaocui's bed again, sat on the edge of the bed, Xiaocui hurriedly hugged my grandfather, and put her head into my grandfather's arms, and whispered: "Stand ...... A hairy ghost, with a face like a dog and a monkey, and red eyes, so scary...... As soon as I screamed, it jumped out of the window. ”

Monkey? Red-eyed?

Hearing Xiao Cui say this, a feeling of déjà vu immediately flashed in my grandfather's mind, and then he suddenly thought that when he was in that small village before, he encountered three ghost monkeys, and the "ghost" that Xiao Cui said was very similar to those ghost monkeys.

My grandfather immediately pondered: I killed two big ones in the village, and the smaller one escaped in the end, will it return to the village later? Well, there is a great possibility of returning to the village, if it is really the ghost monkey, it must be when he went back to the village to get the baggage, he found it for the little ghost monkey, and tracked it all the way here, the two big ghost monkeys are the parents of the little ghost monkey, and the little ghost monkey wants to avenge its parents, probably because he is afraid of himself, he does not dare to make a move on himself, so he wants to attack Xiao Cui, no wonder Xiao Cui is arguing along the way that there is something to follow, it should be this ghost monkey.

As soon as my grandfather thought of this, at this moment, he heard a strange noise from the next room, that is, a strange noise from my grandfather's room, like the sound of a cloth tearing, sizzling very harshly.

My grandfather secretly screamed in his heart, no, this is the ghost monkey's tune tiger leaving the mountain.

Xiao Cui became more and more frightened when she heard the voice, and stuck her head tighter into my grandfather's arms. My grandfather tried to push her away, stuffed the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword into her hand, and told her, "Don't be afraid, brother will come back when he goes back to the room." ”

After speaking, my grandfather got up from the side of the bed, left Xiaocui's room in a few steps, and returned to his room.

The lights in my grandfather's room were out at this time, and it was pitch black, and my grandfather didn't find anything unusual when I walked into the room.

Then he touched the oil lamp, took out the fire sickle from his body and lit the oil lamp, raised it in his hand to look, and found that the back window of his room was also opened, and he walked to the window and looked out, but there was still nothing, but the window paper on the window fan also appeared holes, and there were wet marks on the lower edge of the window, exactly the same as in Xiaocui's room.

What's going on with the tearing sound just now? My grandfather subconsciously turned his head and glanced at his bed, and when he looked at it, he suddenly became angry, and saw that his clothes and pants on the bed were torn into a strip by something, and he couldn't wear it.

My grandfather hurriedly turned his gaze to the wardrobe next to the bed, and saw that the big burden that had been placed on the wardrobe was gone.

It's okay to say that the clothes are torn, the burden is gone, then it's troublesome, my grandfather is in a hurry, there are still two hundred taels of silver tickets in the baggage, it's okay if you lose other things, the silver tickets are lost, and you and Xiaocui can't even afford to pay for the room.

My grandfather walked to the window again, holding the oil lamp, holding the flames, and shining outside, and saw that there was no place to settle and start under the window, this ghost monkey, if he could enter the room from the outside, there was only one possibility, this ghost thing, hit the roof to come in.

My grandfather hurriedly stretched half of his body out of the window, got up sideways and looked up at the window, about three feet from the top of the window was the eaves, and there was a hanging beam under the eaves, and the ghost monkey could hang the hanging beam upside down with his hind limbs, and then use the son to open the window and jump into the room.

At this time, my grandfather saw that there seemed to be an extra thing on the eaves, and raised the oil lamp a little higher to take a closer look, it was his own big burden, and he put it on the eaves of the roof.

However, the ghost monkey can enter the room through the window with a hanging beam upside down, and it is difficult for a person to hang upside down to get in, even if he picks up the hanging beam from the window, and it is impossible to climb to the top with the help of the hanging beam.

My grandfather decided to go to the roof to have a look, but he didn't have the dexterous hands and feet of a ghost monkey, and it was impossible to climb from the window to the top, so my grandfather wanted to ask the guy in the inn to see if there was any place to get to the top.

At this moment, I happened to hear someone knocking on Xiaocui's door, Xiaocui answered, and the person asked Xiaocui what happened just now.

Listening to the voice, it seems to be the guy in the inn, Xiao Cui just screamed quite loudly, and it must have alarmed the guy who kept vigil in the inn.

My grandfather hurriedly went out to take a look, and sure enough, it was a guy in the inn. My grandfather asked the guy if there was a place to go to the top, and the guy was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't know what my grandfather wanted to do. My grandfather explained that the snitch came to his room, and he gave him the burden and took it away, suspecting that the snitch had gone to the top, and wanted to take a look at the top.

When the man heard this, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained that there had never been a snitch in the store, and my grandfather didn't have the heart to be hypocritical with him at this time, so he told him to hurry up and find a way.

Then, the man brought a ladder and took my grandfather to a place like a patio, surrounded by eaves, and there was a square hole more than two feet wide in the middle.

In ancient times, the roofs were all in the shape of "people", just like the book that was opened upside down on the desktop from the middle, the middle was high, the two sides were sloped downward, and the whole roof was paved layer by layer with tiles from bottom to top.

Because it has just rained, the roof is wet and slippery, and some tiles on it are also moss, and they are drenched by the rain, like green frost, and if they are not careful, they will slip and tumble on it, and fall directly from the top to the downstairs.

This patio is still some distance from the highest point of the top, that is, the "dragon's back" in the middle of the top. At this time, my grandfather didn't care about anything else, so he used his hands and feet on the smooth tiles at the same time, climbed to the "dragon's back", and then, straddling the top "dragon's back", stepping on the tiles on the left and right sides of the "dragon's back" with both feet, and slowly stood up.

After stabilizing himself, he raised his eyes and glanced at the position of the window of his room, and saw that there was no burden of his own on the eaves, and then swept the roof of the entire inn, and under the dark night, my grandfather did not find anything, except for the cold wind passing by, the entire roof was empty.

My grandfather pondered in his heart, could it be that the ghost monkey ran down from the top with his baggage? Oh no, will this thing go to Xiaocui again?

My grandfather was in a hurry when he thought of this, and just as he was about to turn around and return to the patio, there was a sudden slight slippery sound of tiles behind him.

My grandfather hurriedly looked back and saw a teenage child-sized thing, standing straight behind him, covered in black.

My grandfather was taken aback, and then took a closer look and saw clearly, his guess was completely correct, it was the little ghost monkey who escaped, behind it, and carrying his own big baggage, all of this, it did it! 360mobe The Last Ghost Hunter

At this time, the little ghost monkey was a little taller than when my grandfather saw it in the village, and he also lost a little weight, and it is estimated that it followed my grandfather all the way, and he was scheming all day long, "lack of food and less clothing", and his life may not be easy.

When the ghost monkey saw my grandfather, he was a little bit of an enemy who was red-eyed when he saw him, and he didn't give my grandfather time to react at all.

At this time, my grandfather turned his back to the ghost monkey, coupled with the slippery top, the situation was very unfavorable, seeing the ghost monkey pounced, he was very embarrassed to pounce in front of him, and the whole person knelt on the dragon's back, at the same time, the ghost monkey brushed over his head, and then, "bang", the ghost monkey fell in front of my grandfather, probably because of the ground too strong, stepped on a few tiles, and those tiles slid down the slope from the roof all the way down and fell to the bottom.

At this time, my grandfather was lying on the dragon's spine and looked up at the ghost monkey again, looking at the big burden on its back, and suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, feeling that the ghost monkey was deliberately leading him to the roof, wanting to use the terrain of the roof to deal with him.

Thinking of this, my grandfather felt a chill in his heart, on the roof where he couldn't even stand steadily, how could he fight this ghost monkey?

The ghost monkey didn't give my grandfather time to think about it, and with another strange scream, he suddenly pounced on my grandfather again.

My grandfather was still half-lying and half-kneeling on the dragon's spine at this time, and it was too late to get up if he wanted to, and seeing that the ghost monkey was about to pounce on him, he was in a hurry, picked up a few tiles from under him, and threw them over-The Last Ghost Hunter-
