The old security guard's words stunned everyone present, and there was a gasp for a while, but no one dared to speak anymore. They all know that the Ren family has not been stolen for so many years, these things are very valuable, and it will be a big sin to steal even a small one.

I exhaled slowly, but luckily I got the bet right this time. Bao Ye gambled that the old security guard was afraid of the painful stump, but it seemed that he had not gambled enough time, and the old security guard had no meaning to say. I'm betting on the old security guard's fear of the old man and Uncle Wu's ghosts.

The old security guard would come to steal the brush, and that was because he had heard and even seen some special phenomena of Wu Guang. His psyche is convinced of these existences. I may not be useful to the young security guards, but it will certainly be useful to him.

I said, "Take me to find the brush?"

The security guard hurried out of the courtyard. This time, those onlookers didn't say anything more. I turned back to Yuan Xue, who was already stunned, and said, "Actually, I'm just Ren Qiancang's wife, and the wife of the Ren family is a big title for me. Yuan Xue, I have always regarded you as my only sister in the big yard. ”

Follow the old security guard to the courtyard where the security guard used to use it as a dormitory, followed by a bunch of family members. Yuan Xue didn't follow again, and after walking around the corner twice, Bao Ye and the five of them followed. Bao Ye squeezed to my side and whispered, "Mrs. is mighty, and the villain is willing to lose."

The old security guard took us to the security quarters. A courtyard at the back, a courtyard, is not big, only six small rooms, and there are several sets of security uniforms in the corridor. There are several large water tanks in the middle of the yard. This water tank is the same as the one in my small building, but it is not black water, but clear water with lotus flowers.

This kind of scenery is common in the large courtyard of the imitation Qing. There are also a few fish in the tank. But now, there are only lotus leaves in that jar that are growing well and are very messy. Dead leaves, young leaves, can cover the surface of the water tank.

The old security guard stood beside the water tank, bent down, and reached into the water tank to touch it. It's just that his expression is getting more and more wrong. It's been almost a minute, and I haven't touched anything yet.

I said, "The brush is in there?"

"Well, I wrapped it in a tarp, put it in an iron box, wrapped it in several layers of tarp, and put it down. How big is the package? He gestured. It could be the size of a big box with a pair of boots. Why can't you touch it when you put so many layers inside?

I said, "Look for something, smashed the cylinder."

As soon as I finished speaking, the old gentleman in the crowd, who usually wiped the table and swept the floor, shouted first. "Can't smash, can't smash! This jar is from the Qing Dynasty, wife, the value of this jar is not lower than the lost brush. ”

"Smash it, if Ren Qiancang is held accountable, I will be responsible."

For a while, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, but no one dared to really start. You must know that this kind of vat is very heavy, and there is water in it, which has the possibility of pushing down and pouring water out, which is almost zero. Even an empty cylinder may not be able to push. Not to mention the water inside. If you use a bucket to carry water, such a large tank, and the water cannot be poured directly into the yard, but also carried to the grass outside, so I don't know when it will be done.

A security guard said: "I remember that there was a pumping machine at home, and if you connected it to a pipe, you could pump water out." ”

For a while, everyone agreed. I also agreed to this approach. Wait for the pump to come and take over the pumping. By the time the water in the tank was emptied, it was almost evening. According to the usual work and rest habits, at this time, Ren Qiancang should be about to go home. I can't let others know the connection between losing the brush and not letting Ren Qiancang go home. So I excused myself from standing for hours and was tired, so I went into a security guard's dormitory next to me and found a stool to sit on and wait for the results.

Although they call me Mrs., they are not domestic servants after all, at most they are nannies and security guards and other employees. If you really want to talk about such a thing as a chair, I can ask them to help with it, and it's okay if they refuse me. So I looked for a stool in the dorm room myself and didn't attract the attention of others.

I whispered to Ren Qiancang about it with my mobile phone, and asked him not to come back yet. When it gets dark, you don't know what will happen. Because now Wu Guang's influence is no longer just one person.

When the pump pumped out such a large tank of water to the bottom, it was already more than five o'clock, and it was already dark at five o'clock in winter, and the aunts in the kitchen had left here and were busy cooking. And there was nothing in the jar except a little residual lotus leaf and silt.

But in the mud, I really saw a trace of something that had been spared.

"Where's the pen?" I looked at the old security guard, who had collapsed to the ground because of the image. He said distractedly, "I really, really put it in there." It's true! Madam, I'll just put it inside! Someone must have taken it! Definitely! Mrs., Mrs., I didn't lie to you. Don't let me spend the night in that room, don't leave me there. There are really ghosts in this big yard! ”

The old security guard's words made the onlookers gasp in surprise, and everyone was watching me, waiting to see what I did. Looking at the old security guard on the ground, I'm sure he doesn't know where the brush has gone.

Now it's all about finding the brush. I said to everyone, "Let's all disperse." The work of the old security guard will be suspended first. Coordinate with the security office and give him a week's leave. What I said: This old security guard is not allowed to step into the courtyard of the Ren family for a week. ”

"Madam, it's going to ...... Fire me? I ......" the old security guard trembled, but he didn't know what to say. He is a veteran employee who has worked in Renjia for many years, and if he suddenly resigns, he will definitely be unwilling, even if he steals the brush now.

After I had all the people disperse, I sent the old security guard out with me. Bao Ye also cautiously followed behind us. In that long hallway, I whispered a lot to the old security guard. I said I knew he didn't mean to steal the pen. When he was holding the brush, he didn't know what he was doing. And I also believe that he didn't lie to me. And I'm not giving him a week off now, it's not for his safety.

I finally said, "You're right, this big yard is haunted. ”

The old security guard cried, and he said, "Madam, it's really haunted." Uncle Wu came to me. He told me to take a brush and kill people. I asked him who he was killing, but he didn't say anything, so he asked me to get a brush. I just went to get it in such a daze. ”

Bao Ye said behind us, "Tell me more about how you met Uncle Wu." ”

The old security guard said that he was sitting in front of the courtyard gate of the study that day, and it was about five o'clock in the evening, when he was about to change shifts, he heard a voice in the study, and he was afraid that it was a thief or something, so he went in to see. But after entering, he didn't see anyone, just heard Uncle Wu's voice in a daze, and Uncle Wu asked him to pick up the brush in the old man's study. When he came to his senses, he thought he had just had auditory hallucinations. Once, twice, three times, he was really confused and got it at noon today. He knew that we were checking the pen, so he wrapped the pen in a panic and put it in the jar.

"Isn't it chaotic in the study these days? You're alone? I asked.

It wasn't the old security guard who answered me, but Bao Ye. "There are rules for making these antiques," he said. I have to leave the door at five o'clock. It's the same with the museum. No matter how big the matter, five o'clock must all leave. ”

"Yes, yes, when I heard the voice, it was around 5:20. They were all gone, and the doors were closed. Our security guard is on duty at 6 o'clock. ”

I sent the old security guard out of Ren's house and let him stay at home for a week. After looking at the time, it was already 5:40. I said casually, "Master Bao, let's go to the kitchen to eat." Ren Qiancang is not at home again. Alas~"Since moving here, the number of times Ren Qiancang has not come back at night, except for the last time he went to the capital on a business trip, that is what can be counted with a slap."

I really don't feel good about it. Bao Ye gave me a blank look and said, "What kind of kitchen are you going to, let's have supper, let's go!" Go to the study and look for ghosts. ”

"Huh?! Right now? ”

"Now, of course! You go too, you have a lot of yin on you, and it's easier for you to see her. ”

"Me? I ......"

"Don't me, mine! Let's go! ”

Bao Ye just dragged me to the study inside. I also shouted, "Aren't you supposed to go get your gear?" Don't you all carry a bag on your back? ”

"It's just to find a head, where do you use that? I found it, just use some vase in the study, box or something, and put it up. ”

"This ...... Hey......"

My protest was useless, and I was dragged all the way to the study.

In front of the courtyard of the study, a security guard was eating with a large bowl. When he saw us coming, he hurriedly said, "Yo, are you still coming here?"

"Come and have a look!" Bao Ye took out the key.

The security guard hurriedly said: "Master Bao, I can't control you if you are the supervisor, but you should also understand the rules in this study." It's past five o'clock. ”

"Alright. When I stayed up all night inside, why didn't I see you bring me supper? In this way, Bao Ye opened the door of the study, and the security guard retracted his neck without speaking.

When the door opened, a cold wind blew. I shivered even in my down jacket. Bao Ye took out a copper coin from his trouser pocket, sandwiched it between his hands, and then slowly stepped in.

Nothing out of the ordinary, not even the alarm in the study with a little red light in the dim light is not abnormal at all.
