Before entering this forest, it was clear that a full moon was hanging high in the sky, but now there were countless dense rains falling from the sky, and in a short time, the road surface was completely soaked with special smoothness. The dirt road had become unusually muddy when it hit the water, and even though I had tried my best to hold on to the reins, I could still feel the wheels drifting.

"Stinky boy", the curtain behind him rolled, and Father Yan poked his head out of the carriage and said, "Do you want to stop for a while, wait for the rain to stop before leaving?" ”

I stopped the car and looked up, the sky was completely covered with thick clouds, there was not a single gap, there was no wind, this light rain had been falling for half a day, neither big nor small, but lingering on the ground. He said, "Yes, it's a bit dangerous to walk like this, but it's so wet now, and there's no dry place, so if we stop and wait, we'll have to spend the night in this carriage tonight." ”

"Ah," Rui Wei shouted from the side, "I want four people to spend the night in the car!" ”

"Then what do you say? It's okay, let's talk for a while, maybe the rain will stop! I laughed.

Rui Wei also knew that there was no other choice at this time, but he was obviously dissatisfied, pouting and muffled.

I was feeling helpless, but Wang Shaoting suddenly said: "Look, there seems to be a fire ahead!" ”

I looked back and saw that there was no fire in the endless woods. I couldn't help but wonder: "Where?" As soon as the words came out, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to really see a fire flickering dimly in the distance, and it seemed that it was not too far away.

"Could it be that there is someone who has passed through this woods?" Rui Wei said.

"But I remember walking a few miles through this forest to reach the village!" Daddy said.

"Just check it out." Wang Shaoting said.

In this situation, I also think it is better to take a look. If there is a village, our problem is solved. Even if it doesn't work, it's better than living in this damp and dark woods. So he told them to sit still. A pull on the reins. Continue to walk slowly and cautiously forward.

As we walked, the light of the fire really began to become clear, and after walking for less than ten minutes, I felt that we had slowly gone up a gentle slope, and after walking for a while, there was a sudden opening in front of us, a village, no. To be precise, a magnificent mansion built according to the topography has appeared in front of us from afar! It was surrounded by a large circle of walls, and beyond the wall, the rows of pavilions and pavilions could be faintly seen, from which the few lights just now emanated.

"How can a place like this be a mountain village? No, it's a haunted house, haha! I laughed.

Rui Wei, the female celestial master, stared at this suspicious mansion for a long time, but only said: "Go and see it!" ”

Father Yan didn't approve of it, and said: "With such a big house, it must be either rich or expensive, and we have a special status now." It's better not to alarm them. ”

"Daddy has a point," I said. "But anyway, we have to pass through here sooner or later, and it will definitely be more unassuming to pass at night, and this mansion in the dense forest is also rare, and it is good to pass by and take a look at it at the same time."

Dad thought about it, and probably felt that it was true, so he nodded.

Strange as we drove towards the mansion, the light rain that had been falling very hard just now suddenly stopped, and the moisture on the ground began to evaporate in the summer heat, and soon a thin layer of fog rose around us, and it was impossible to see the road ahead.

When visibility finally dropped to zero, I reluctantly stopped the carriage. I just wanted to turn around and discuss countermeasures with them, but I felt an invisible sense of oppression around me? On one side, a dark gate appeared to our left. Before I knew it, I had arrived at the gate of the mansion.

"This road is really impossible to walk, why don't you see if you can spend the night in this house!" I proposed.

The three of them poked their heads out, and when they saw the situation around them, they also felt that there was nothing they could do. We got out of the car, tied our horses to the boulders next to us, and went straight to the door of the mansion.

"This gate is so strange!" Wang Shaoting said.

When I got closer at this time, I was also very surprised, unlike the wooden gate of the traditional mansion of this era, the gate in front of me was actually made of iron! There was no knocker on the door, I looked around, found a rope next to the door, went up and pulled, heard a faint ding dong, it turned out to be a door clock!

In amazement, the door opened with a "clang", and the face of a young girl appeared inside.

When I looked at her, I was even more shocked, this girl had curly hair, a high nose and deep eyes, and she was actually a foreigner!

Looking back at Rui Wei and them in Hanfu behind them, there is really a strong sense of time and space confusion!

I was wondering whether to say "Hello" or "Howdoyoudo" to this girl, when I heard a "Who are you looking for?" ", the girl has already opened her mouth, and it is actually a mouthful of authentic Chinese.

"Hmm...... We are passing by, because the weather is too bad, there is no way to continue walking, I wonder if it is convenient for us to stay overnight? I said politely.

"Well, come in!" The girl didn't ask anything, and agreed very happily, looking at the location of this house, maybe she will encounter such a thing from time to time.

The four of us followed her into the house, and as soon as we entered, the black door behind us "snapped" and shut, which sounded particularly shocking in such a quiet night.

"My name is Tao Yong, this is Rui Wei, Uncle Yan, and Wang Shaoting. From Youzhou. Looks like you're not a local, right? I asked the girl. It's strange for an outsider to ask if someone is a local.

"Well, we're from the north." The girl said.

Taking advantage of her leading the way, Father Yan quietly explained to me: "I guess they are Hu people, living in the north of Mongolia. ”

To the north of Mongolia, that is close to Russia. I didn't expect to see another race in this era, and it was in such a remote place in the Great Central Plains, I have to say that it was an adventure.

What made me feel even more strange was that she took us for a long time, and we didn't mean to reach our destination. If I'm not mistaken. We have been taken three times to turn right between the courtyards. Didn't you go around in a circle and go back in the same direction?

"Senior brother, it's weird." Rui worried.

"Hmm." I answered. The four of us cheered up one hundred and twenty points to see what the hell this girl was trying to do.

As soon as she entered the state of imminent battle, the girl suddenly stopped and said, "It's here, please come in." ”

When I looked up, I saw a door with a unique shape. The girl stretched out her hand, and a large hall appeared before us, with a rectangular table in the center. There are chairs on both sides, some cups and bowls on the table, and several candlesticks, which seem to be a meeting room.

"Wait here, I'll call the master." The girl turned and walked away.

As an abundance of caution, while she was out, the four of us looked around the hall a little. It is about seventy or eighty square meters in size, and there is no entrance or exit except for a corridor on one side. After careful inspection, I didn't see anything unusual. We each sat down and waited for the girl to come over.

But this one. It took more than an hour, until I felt so dazed that I almost fell asleep, that the door opened again and an uncle walked up. Through the light, it can be seen that he has brown hair, also three-dimensional facial features, gray pupils, and is estimated to be a Hu person.

"I've kept you waiting, I'm the master here, my name is Helian Hezhe. It's been a long time since I've had a guest here, and I'm so glad to see you! He laughs.

We were a little noisy, but I whispered to Rui, "How is it?" Is it a human or a ghost? ”

She stared at the Helian with blazing eyes, but said quietly, "I don't know yet." ”

"I heard that you came all the way from Youzhou, I don't know if there are any interesting things to see along the way? We have lived in seclusion here for a long time, and we no longer know much about the things of the world. The man said.

"If you have chosen to live in seclusion, why should you care about mundane things? Those troubles in the world, it is better not to know. I laughed.

When he heard me say this, he laughed and said, "In this case, you must be tired too, now I will let Ye Lin take you to rest." I finally waited for him to come, for this is what he said, but he really said it so quickly, which made me feel a little surprised.

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl just now walked in from the door again, and it turned out that her name was "Ye Lin", which was very similar to a Han name.

This time, she led us into the hallway next to the hall, which was not too wide, with candles at intervals, a window on one side, and a door on the other.

After walking for a while, she pointed to a door and said, "This girl, please stay here." ”

Rui Wei was just about to walk over, but I grabbed her arm and whispered, "Be careful, call us at any time if you have something." ”

She smiled and said, "You can call me at any time if you have something." ”

Also, there is really some ghost in this mansion, I guess I am not one, and I will inevitably have to rely on her when the time comes.

But soon, I realized that I was thinking too simply. Ye Lin led us forward for a while, turned to the left, and walked a long way before pointing to a room door and saying, "This little boy, please stay here." Her hand referred to Wang Shaoting.

What a "little boy"! I burst out laughing. Wang Shaoting also had an angry expression on his face, but he still walked in obediently.

In this way, he turned left again and arranged a room for Father Yan; One last turn left, it was my turn.

I wondered: Could it be that this corridor is quadrangular, and each of the four of us lives on one side? At present, the room of the four people is so far away, it is impossible to help each other if there is anything, so we can only believe in everyone's respective strength, and wait until dawn tomorrow.

I walked into the room that Ye Lin pointed out to me, and found that the room was already lit. Looking around, I found that this was a very ordinary room, but there were decorative tapestries hanging on the walls, and there were some fur decorations everywhere, which was not Central Plains style at first glance.

I looked around again, but I didn't find anything suspicious, and I immediately relaxed a lot. Maybe it's really that I'm thinking too much, after all, the customs are different, so I think it's weird to look at everything. Tomorrow I will have a chance to have a good chat and get to know each other, and I won't feel so awkward anymore.

As soon as I thought of this, I fell asleep after a moment's pause. I don't know how long I slept, but I felt so bright around me, so I opened my eyes and woke up. The first thing I saw was the large tapestry on the opposite wall, and then I thought that I had spent the night in this wonderful mansion of the Hu people last night.

I got up from the bed and walked to the window, and found that this building is really foreign, and it is actually equipped with glass windows! Through the window, I could see a forest in the distance, the same one we had walked through last night, I guess. The rain was clear and the sun was shining, and it was really tempting to open the window for some fresh air, but when I reached out to pull it open, it was a "huh".

Because I had pushed the window forward with all my might, but there was still a layer of glass in front of me! Push it again, and this is still the case, this window sash is like a page, endlessly turning! When I gave up pushing the window and touched the glass with my hands, I felt that the tentacles were cold and bone-chilling, and it was obvious that something was in the way!

So it is impossible to pass through the window!

I was shocked, and my first reaction was: the same is true of the door! Quickly ran to the door, pulled the door open forcefully, and fortunately, I saw the corridor at once. When I walked into the hallway, I saw that it was still the same scene as last night, with windows on one side and doors on the other.

It's just that if I try the window in the hallway again, it's still an infinite flip window, and it can never be opened! It means that if I want to go out, I can only go back the way I came through this corridor!

An ominous premonition rushed over me, and I had to tell the three of them about this spectacle! I remember coming from the corridor on the right hand side yesterday, and it must have been the right way to go that way.

I quickened my pace, and when I reached the end of the corridor, I saw a huge pillar appear on my right, and around the pillar, another corridor appeared in front of me. I tried to open the window again, but it still wouldn't open.

However, at this point, I was worried: there were twenty or thirty doors in this corridor, and which one did my father enter yesterday? I was thinking about whether to shout twice, when I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

It couldn't be that they found out that something was wrong and came to greet me! I thought to myself, hurry on. Just after walking a few steps, the figure in front of me flashed, and several people appeared at the end of the corridor, all of them were tall and tall, and all of them were Westerners, all dressed in military uniforms, and holding spears in their hands!

As soon as he saw me, one of the people walking in front shouted, "There it is!" Get him! ”

Ah, what's going on??

"I am a guest of your master!" I shouted at them.

But I clearly felt that the team completely ignored my words and rushed over at an accelerated pace, followed by a murderous aura that could not be concealed! (To be continued.) )
