First of all, Cha Wenbin must inspect the room, the room where Lao Xu slept all night. It was a three-bay adobe house in an inverted "L" shape, and the one protruding was a kitchen with two earthen stoves, a water tank, and a suggested table that had been restored. Walking into the main entrance is a hall, which is stacked with their instruments and equipment and a simple altar, and there are many bowls and chopsticks used for memorial purposes in front of the altar.

Wang Liang said that the offerings here need to be changed every three days, and if it is more than three days, the old man sitting on the beam of the house will definitely appear in their dreams. There is no attic, on the left hand side is the room where Wang Liang and the others live, which is the floor shop, and the room on the right hand is closed, and they have never entered the room since Lao Xu left.

There are two windows in the room on the right, one in front and one behind, the windows are pasted with a thick layer of newspaper, the glass here has long been broken, and the wind is strong in the mountains at night, so Lao Xu was pasted on the first day of coming. From the outside, it was impossible to see the inside, there was a lock on the door but it was broken, they stuck a few pieces of sawdust in the crack of the door, and the fat man gently pushed the door open, and all his face was flying ashes.

There was a pungent musty smell, the house seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, and there was a simple table by the window, on which were placed some ashes-covered supplies, presumably left by the previous owner. In the middle of the place was a bed made of improvised wooden planks, covered with a layer of moldy straw, and several rats had escaped from it because of the disturbance.

The dim light and the uncirculated air made people not want to stay here for a moment, and there was a wooden box in the west corner that was turned open, and the fat man went to check it, and there were a few old clothes that were no longer recognizable, and a large number of rats made it smell, but there was something at the head of the bed that caught his attention.

It was a candlestick, so entangled in cobwebs that it was impossible to see what it was, but the outline was strange, as if a man was kneeling there dragging a plate with a slender pointed end on it. The fat man felt curious, so he picked it up and wiped it gently, and when he stroked the layer of ash on the surface, the metal surface with green spots below was exposed, and the shape of the character was a manservant, which made the fat man a little overjoyed and said: "Cha Ye, come and take a look, this thing has a bit of a origin." ”

"Bronze Servant Lamp?"

"That's right," the fat man carefully wiped and said, "A lamp that is very similar to this shape is now lying in the National Museum, it was unearthed in a large tomb in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but this shape is a little more exquisite, I estimate that there may be some big tombs in this generation, so the group tossed here." ”

An old man's former residence guarding the forest farm found a bronze candlestick thousands of years ago, not to mention that this thing was handed down by his ancestors, and it was not noticed after his death, combined with the bronze Ge in the hands of the grandson of Lao Xie under the mountain, it can be basically concluded that the original owner here picked it up from this neighborhood.

This unexpected receipt was a bit of a surprise, but Cha Wenbin's eyes fell on a mirror on the table. The mirror had eight corners, and it was also covered with ashes, and judging by his intuition, it should be a gossip mirror. Gently picked it up and wiped it, as he expected, this is really a gossip mirror, but judging from the shape, it is a modern product, and the gossip direction on the wood is even very rough, he is very strange, why would an old man who lives alone buy such a mirror as a daily necessities.

The ash on the glass was gradually wiped off, and inadvertently Cha Wenbin picked up the mirror and looked at himself, and suddenly there was a trance, Cha Wenbin's eyes were blurred, and an old man appeared in the mirror, smiling at himself......

Immediately reacting, he immediately bit the tip of his tongue and squirted a mouthful of blood foam towards the mirror, and shouted: "Bah! ”

The others didn't know what was going on, and after hearing the voice, they all gathered their eyes, and at this moment, the mirror in Cha Wenbin's hand suddenly "clicked" and shattered.

Where have several young people seen this kind of posture, Wang Liang whispered to Chen Zhen: "This gentleman is really powerful, he actually shattered the mirror with a loud shout......

Cha Wenbin looked down at the pile of debris on the ground and said with a wry smile: "It's not that you were shattered by the sound, it's that there are unclean things here, you are lucky not to provoke the lord here, and you are very respectful to him, otherwise I estimate that you will definitely not be able to live now, and you would have been scared away a long time ago." ”

Are there ghosts in this world? People who have seen it say yes, people who haven't seen it or don't believe it think it's nonsense, in addition to the atmosphere in the empty room is a little dull and depressing, is there really a pair of eyes watching themselves all the time?

The night was destined to be terrifying, especially in the depths of the mountain, when the boiler was steaming hot, and the fat man said he wanted to show off his cooking skills. When Lao Xu came, he brought a few bottles of wine, and the children didn't dare to touch the dead man's things, but the fat man didn't care about them, so he and Li Chenggong took a few sips of the steaming meal.

"At night you sleep yours, and we sleep in that room." Cha Wenbin said: "Don't drink too much wine, it's very likely that we will have something to do at night." ”

Chen Zhen's eyes were a little melancholy, Wang Liang and Yang Feng were a little overwhelmed with the food in their hands, they looked at each other, and they were very expecting their companions to be the first to express their worries. Although the three of them are all about twenty years old, they are really afraid of enough in this mountain, especially after the gentleman himself said that there are indeed ghosts in this house tonight, and their legs are trembling until now, and I don't know how the heartless fat brother still eats and drinks with relish.

After a long time, Chen Zhen finally couldn't hold it back, and he whispered to Cha Wenbin: "Brother Cha, can we huddle together at night, we don't sleep and promise not to disturb you, I'm afraid that if we put you in that room, even if we offend that ghost, will it come to retaliate against us at night?" ”

"How dare it?" The fat man said: "When you meet us, it is its creation, if you don't kneel down and bow in gratitude, we will find out what kind of character it is, which little ghost must not kneel and kowtow and beg for mercy when he sees him, rest assured, you just have to sleep with yours." ”

Cha Wenbin took out his pen and ink, dipped in cinnabar water, drew two talismans on the spot and handed them to Chen Zhendao: "You stick these two talismans, one on the door, and the other on the head of the bed where you sleep, as long as the talisman is there, you can sleep boldly, and nothing will happen." An old man who has been dead for many years, even if I spend it too much at night, I believe it is not a big villain. ”

It was already past eight o'clock after dinner, and the fat man made a fire outside the courtyard, and several young people obviously didn't want to go in so early, and they were looking for topics all the time, but there was not much time left for them.

"Let's go and rest early." Cha Wenbin likes Chen Zhen's kid a little, although this kid looks weak but has spirituality, he pestered Cha Wenbin to talk to him about the Taoist, probably because he lived at the foot of Wudang Mountain since he was a child, and he has a natural worship for Taoist priests.

Seeing that there was still hesitation on the faces of the three people, Cha Wenbin got up and said, "I'm going to go to sleep in a while, if you really want to stay, then do it yourself, just remember to put the talisman on it." After that, he got up and prepared to enter the house with the fat man, seeing that they were leaving, Wang Liang and the others naturally had no intention of continuing to stay, although they didn't dare, they could only bite the bullet.

The room that I had slept in for a few months felt very cold tonight, Chen Zhen pasted the talisman with rice grains, and the three of them curled up together and snuggled up to each other, if it wasn't for life, who would want to work in such a deep mountain and old forest? They begin to miss their families, their school, their classmates, their teachers and friends.

"It's the last night, and we'll be able to go back after tonight." Wang Liang cheered up the other two companions, believing that the note given to him by the fat brother in the afternoon would change their fate. Yang Feng is a year younger than them, and he is already sobbing at this time, whose child is willing to come to this crime? Wang Liang also held back his tears and held his companion's hands tightly, he told himself that as long as he persisted, the result would be bright.

Naturally, no one wanted to sleep on that bed, but Cha Wenbin wanted the fat man to sleep, and the fat man was also a little resistant, lying on the bed and muttering: "Cha Ye, you are too inauthentic, there have been two people dead in this bed, you still want me to sleep, can I sleep?" ”

Cha Wenbin lay on the ground and said, "Aren't you the incense that you can sleep on the coffin board before?" Are you starting to get less and less daring? ”

"This has nothing to do with guts, this bed is too dirty, there is a thick layer of rat feces on it, and there are rats crawling on my trouser legs just now, I'm afraid that I will wait to get into my crotch, and I haven't married a daughter-in-law and has cubs yet!"

Cha Wenbin didn't bother to talk to him, so he turned over after saying a word: "Don't talk nonsense, you can do what you are told to do, and sleep with you." ”

He didn't make any superfluous arrangements in this room, what he wanted was to restore what happened to Lao Xu that night? So the fat man is the best bait, this kind of thing ordinary people can't do, you have to find a hard figure, even if there is something he can resist, rough skin and thick meat is able to toss.

But complaining is complaining, the fat man really snored not long after he got to bed, Li Chenggong couldn't sleep a little, looking at the faint slapping of branches on the window, he always felt like a hand dancing outside. This man has experienced the flames of war, and he has also seen those bloody corpses that have been beaten, and all kinds of rotting and stinky corpses are commonplace for criminal police. Cha Wenbin knew that it was actually difficult for the three of them to dare to get close to each other, but why did the mirror appear abnormal in the evening?
