Chapter 69: On the Beams
It seems that the masters are not much better than us. (.com) Bai Kai followed and instructed me, Xiao Qian, don't run around after dark. The house is haunted!
I said, but I didn't answer. I'm curious about the environment inside the house now. Take two quick steps to pass Bai Kai and advance to the main house.
The main room was unusually dim, dusty everywhere, not a single piece of furniture was missing. Even a lot of the wood trim on the wall has been deducted, leaving only a few white marks. The whole room is very high, and when you look up, you can see the main beam of the house, which is very thick, which shows that you have worked hard when you built the house.
Nothing to see, rest first and talk about it in the evening. Markham sat down proudly. Kick up a lot of dust.
I said, is there any origin of this house? It's been a long time.
Damn, this ash is really not eaten for nothing. Bai Kai coughed twice, don't you feel panicked?
Bai Kai easily pushed open several windows, but there was no light outside, and the room was still dark and dark.
No way? Cloudy? Bai Kai poked his head out and came back, this design is very good, and the light can't shine in on a sunny day outside.
I followed to see, and the sun had not yet set, although it was not as bright as noon, but the sun was still abundant. When I looked up, I didn't see anything to cover it.
What's going on? Why is there no light in the house? I poked Bai Kai strangely.
Quite simply, light-absorbing materials are added to the walls. Markham Rong replied without pain.
I sighed, and in that case, I had to turn on the light on my phone. Although there is nothing in the house, the corners and corners cannot be ignored. Looking around, the walls were intact, and the bricks shouldn't have been dug out of this room. I went back to discuss with Bai Kai.
Alas, what can be done with light-absorbing materials in this house? Will the water be used to hide filth?
Bai Kai shook his head, pointed at Markham Rong and said, I have to ask the master, we don't dare to get an axe. However, there is a saying that the legend says that this monster that has become a spirit, even if it turns into a human form and integrates into human society, it will still retain some of its preferences when being an animal. When they build houses, they add things to the building materials that are not known to outsiders. Let the house be dull all year round, the same feeling as living in a cave.
I said, I rely on this house left by the monsters? Our brothers are here to save Elder Tang for a long time?
As soon as I finished speaking, Markham suddenly stood up. Surprised me and Bai Kai.
You two stand here, Markham pointed to the wall, I'm going to go up and have a look.
I stood still with Bai Kai puzzled, and Markham Rong stepped onto the shoulders of me and Bai Kai in one step, followed by a force on his feet, and a mountain rope was thrown out of his hand, and the rope circled around the beam. Markham tied the rope at both ends, followed the rope a few times without saying a word, and climbed onto the main beam.
I was dumbfounded, this man had such skills. Damn, he's helping us now, if he wants to do something to harm us, he doesn't have to play yin, and we won't be able to deal with it.
I saw Markham Wing standing firm on the beam of the house and groping left and right. Get a lot of dust down. I was looking up with my neck up, but I was confused, so I had to change positions. As soon as he stood still, Markham Wing had already come down the rope again.
Looks like we're going to have to live on the beams. Markham Wing spread out his hand, and inside his hand was a wrapper of a brand of biscuits that is commonly found in the market.
I thought he would take down some feng shui object, but I was quite surprised to see this. After thinking about it for a while, I understood, this is someone eating on the beam of the house before. I thought to myself, could it be Qin Yiheng? If only ordinary people didn't need to get these moths.
Markham didn't say much, pointing to the rope and pushing Bai Kai over. Bai Kai didn't hesitate, and climbed up with a few strokes along the rope. I didn't expect Bai Kai to have two hits, and I couldn't help but start worrying about myself. Damn, the beams are a few meters high, and I really don't have much confidence to climb up.
Markham Rong is quite reliable, let me climb first, others stand under the don't care if it's for me to break off, at least I fall down and have a back. I'm a little more relieved. Climbing ropes must be very new to people nowadays, and in my uncle's generation, it was still part of the physical education curriculum. Fortunately, when I was young, my uncle would occasionally take me to play, and the rope would climb over. I jumped so hard that I grabbed the rope and hung it. Only then did I feel that the strength on my arm was still much worse, so I had to clamp the rope with my leg and reluctantly move it up little by little. The process was extremely difficult, and knowing that I had caught Bai Kai's outstretched hand, I finally relayed and climbed up.
There was a lot of ash on the beams, and it was slippery. It took me a long time to maintain my balance. After looking around, I saw that there were many similar wrappers on the beams, including beef jerky, chocolate, and even bags of milk. Each wrapper was carefully glued to the beams with transparent glue. It depends, this man has been on the beam for a long time.
I said, what next? This sensei said that he was sleeping, and he couldn't bear it if he stayed dry.
Bai Kai took off his coat and found a place on the roof that could barely hang it, and tied it with a belt. I made a simple hammock-like facility and lay down with a big grin. I wanted to follow suit, but I didn't have the ability to do it, so I had to continue to hold on and endure it.
Don't worry, we won't have to wait too long. Markham sat down steadily, and soon it was dark.
I lit a cigarette and waited in peace. Luckily, it got dark sooner than I expected. Or maybe it's not dark outside, it's just that there is no light in the room. I looked at my watch, and it was seven o'clock. I endured it for a while before I confirmed that it was really dark.
At night, the room was barely visible. I didn't expect it to be so dark, and I didn't dare to move, for fear of accidentally falling off the beams.
Bai Kai was no longer lying down at this time, and was close to me. I could feel his breathing getting smaller and smaller.
Shiro whispered in my ear that someone had come in. As soon as he finished speaking, he really heard a few footsteps, and walked from the courtyard towards the house.
I didn't dare to breathe anymore, and the footsteps sounded very leisurely. But I didn't hear anyone talking. It is obviously not a person who came, but they did not talk to each other, which is obviously unreasonable.
I listened to the footsteps and slowly entered the house, stopping in the middle of the room. Even though they were directly below me, I couldn't tell who they were.
I'm a little nervous, I haven't been so nervous in a long time. Suddenly, the person below turned on two flashlights. The light of the flashlight flickered around the room.
It's certainly not filth, and I wonder if I'm going to scare them to death by shouting from above. Then I saw the beam of light of the flashlight shining upwards.
I didn't even have time to dodge when the pillar of light hit me in the face. I heard the screams of the people below, and I hurried out, and then I heard someone in the courtyard shouting, what's wrong? What to run!?
A trembling voice replied, this house is haunted! There are four ghosts on the beams!!
Then there were more people screaming and running out.
I couldn't laugh or cry, and I co-authored a few cowards who came to the adventure to seek excitement. What a false alarm.
No, why are there four? Bai Kai sighed, turned his head and said to me, Xiao Que, see if there are others over there?
When I heard this, my hair stood on end, but when I turned my head and went to the black hole, how could I see a human figure? I had to reach out and touch it slowly, it didn't matter, my fingertips actually touched something, and I immediately withdrew my hand. What a damn thing!
I panicked and wanted to find my phone to take a photo, but I heard Markham Wing shouting, don't move, don't mess up!
I stopped, feeling the sweat on my forehead. I was in such a hurry just now that I couldn't tell what I was touching. I just feel soft, it's definitely not the wall.
I moved to Bai Kai's side. Bai Kaidao, I rely on Xiao Lack, don't squeeze it, damn it's every inch of land here!
I said, you quickly change positions with me, damn it, I don't know the bottom of my heart.
At this time, I heard Markham Rong shuo, and I suddenly felt that the temperature in this room had dropped sharply.
