Chapter 650: The Old Yard
After the pregnant woman left, the boss of Tofu Brain sat down and said that the woman was not. said that he really believed the wrong person this time, and he would not be so kind to help people in the future.
I smiled. And did not echo it. In the evening, Xue Qian and Mr. Lu came out rubbing their sleepy eyes.
The two of them asked, "How?" Did you meet the guests? ”
I nodded and said, "It's pregnant." It is very likely that his husband was taken by a ghost. Then, he took the address out of his bosom and handed it to Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu took it, looked at it twice, nodded and said, "It's just a ghost, it's not a difficult thing for us." ”
At this time, the sun set, and the street lamp came on, shining on Mr. Lu's face. I saw that he had a flat face, and he did look very confident.
However, Xue Qian wanted to pour cold water on the side. He looked at me with a smile and said, "Old Zhao, do you remember?" The last time we went to help Sister Li, Mr. Lu said the same thing. ”
Then he learned Mr. Lu's voice and said very funny: "Hmm...... It's just a vixen, and it's not a difficult thing for us. After he learned this sentence, he showed a big expression: "What is the result? We arrived at the village of the third grandmother in a daze, and almost lost our lives there. ”
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat something, and after eating, you can go ghost hunting." ”
After the two of them finished eating. It was already completely dark. The three of us didn't take a taxi because the pregnant woman's address was indicated. She is also from Huaicheng, just in the suburbs.
Huaicheng has not been developed for a long time. Even in urban areas, there are many urban villages waiting to be demolished. And it's only a few miles from us to the suburbs.
The citizens of Huaicheng still retain the habits of rural people in the past, and as soon as it gets dark, they go home early to sleep. We walked down the road, and at first, there were one or two pedestrians, and then there were only three of us.
Sometimes. Beneath the streetlight, a shadow would scurry past. At first glance, it looks like a wild cat and a wild dog, but if you distinguish it carefully, it looks like a person. These are lonely ghosts that roam the night. Disturbed by the yang energy in our body, so we are dodging.
Ghosts are afraid of Taoist priests, just like people are afraid of ghosts.
The three of us walked out of the city. I followed the path to the pregnant woman's home. It's a somewhat old house. The black gate even has a knocker made of brass. I don't know how many years this knocker has been used. It's been polished to a shiny.
Mr. Lu did not knock on the door, but looked at the door by the moonlight. He reached out again and touched the wall.
Xue Qian and I looked at him inexplicably and asked, "Is there a problem with this household?" ”
The moonlight shone on Mr. Lu's face, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. When I saw this smile, my heart became more reassuring, and I knew that there was no danger for the time being.
After a while, Mr. Lu said: "This household is a scholarly family. He pointed to the brass ring on the door, to the bricks with the inscriptions on the eaves, and to the polished stone of the doorway. said: "These things are rare now. ”
I said, "During the day, the pregnant woman seemed to have said that her husband was not very educated. ”
Mr. Lu nodded and said, "It used to be a scholarly family, but now it has fallen. According to my estimate, their house is worth a little bit of money just this yard. ”
With that, he reached out and grabbed the knocker, snapped, and slammed it on the door three times.
The knock sounded far away in the night, and we began to wait quietly. After a while, the door opened, and a head poked out. This person was a pregnant woman during the day.
When she saw the three of us, her face lit up. Then he walked out and carefully closed the door.
I wondered in my heart: "When a guest comes, the host does not welcome people in, but walks out of the house, what kind of rule is this?" ”
As if she knew what I was thinking, the pregnant woman looked apologetic and said, "Blame me for not making it clear during the day." Three masters, you have come too early. My husband hasn't slept yet. ”
I grinned and said, "Sister, don't do this, make us look like we're going to cheat." ”
The pregnant woman laughed awkwardly and said, "I suspect that my husband has a ghost." But he didn't know it. And I don't want him to know. If you let the three of you in now, wouldn't it be revealing? ”
As we were talking, we heard a man in the courtyard shouting, "Who was knocking on the door?" ”
The pregnant woman said in a panic: "It's okay, I'll talk to my neighbor." ”
Mr. Lu thought for a while and said to the pregnant woman: "You go in first, how is it usually, what is it today, don't worry about the three of us." ”
The pregnant woman thanked her, turned and went in. In the end, don't forget to close the door again.
Xue Qian said a little unhappily: "Unexpectedly, our three masters, door-to-door service, actually ate a closed-door soup." ”
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Okay, now it's time to test your skills." ”
I asked, "What skills are you testing?" What do you mean? ”
Mr. Lu didn't say much, but ran around the courtyard wall. I saw his body hazy in the night, with a vague shadow trailing behind him. Running like a tiger, as if he was performing some kind of ritual.
Xue Qian and I glanced at each other, then quickened our pace and followed. Mr. Lu ran with the posture of a grandmaster. But his speed was not fast, and Xue Qian and I quickly followed him.
We've been running for a while, and we've circled the yard. Xue Qian shouted impatiently, "Mr. Lu, what do you want to do?" What are you doing in circles going back and forth here? ”
Mr. Lu didn't answer, but ran forward silently.
A sudden fear rose in my heart. Is this person in front of us really Mr. Lu? Are we going to follow a ghost in circles?
I've experienced this kind of thing, and it's left a lot of shadows in my heart. So at this time, I began to feel uneasy.
I was thinking wildly, and suddenly found that Mr. Lu in front of me had stopped, I hurriedly restrained my steps, and I was in a hurry, but fortunately I didn't bump into him.
Mr. Lu pointed to the courtyard wall and said, "It is safest to climb up from here, and no one will notice it." ”
After saying this, he jumped suddenly, then stretched out a hand, and with a touch of force on the wall, his whole body was lifted, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared on the other side of the wall. There was no more sound.
Xue Qian and I looked at each other twice, and then looked at the high wall and worried. At this time, Mr. Lu's head peeked out from the wall, and he stretched out a hand at us and said, "Come in, don't waste time." ”
I stepped back, ran for a while, and then jumped forward. I finally grabbed Mr. Lu's hand, and my feet kicked on the wall, kicking the courtyard wall with a muffled sound.
I was worried that the people in the room would hear it. Thankfully, no one seemed to notice me. I was pulled over the courtyard wall, and then slowly slid down into the courtyard.
Mr. Lu turned back to pull Xue Qian, while I squatted in the yard and quietly observed.
The yard is very clean, but it still retains some of the things from decades ago. I feel like it's a little old, and it's a little old. A strange feeling crept up on my heart, a lifeless feeling.!
At this time, Xue Qian had already turned over from the wall. He kept complaining in a whisper, and Mr. Lu told him to shut up. It's just that Mr. Lu's voice is louder than Xue Qian.
I hid in the darkness and waited for the two of them to be completely quiet. Then quietly walked towards the house.
I could hear the voices in the room. It was supposed to be a pregnant woman talking to her husband.
I leaned under the window and looked up cautiously. Glancing inside. I found that the furnishings in the house were even more excessive than in the courtyard. There are old-fashioned square tables with hoop chairs next to them. Old-fashioned clocks hang on the walls.
I couldn't help but be stunned: "Is this family a collector?" ”
Mr. Lu pointed in one of the directions and said, "Look at people, talent is the key, don't always stare at useless." ”
