Chapter Ninety-Two: The Theater
The old man took a sip of the soup. He sighed and said, "I don't know the specifics. After so many years, I don't know how many people have walked into that alley. Everyone has more or less seen ghosts inside, and the legends of who and whose are are not quite the same, but everyone basically thinks that the female ghost in it is Hongxi. "
I nodded: "So, why do you say it's not Hongxi?" "
The old man thought for a moment and said, "This alley is a bit strange, some people walked in and saw nothing, and some people walked in and saw something and came out again." But there are also people who lose their souls in it and are a little stupid when they come home. Then I heard that a girl had lost her soul there. Their family went in to look for him, but they didn't find Hongxi, but they found that his daughter had become a ghost. "
I scratched my head: "What do you mean?" Hongxi is gone? That girl turned into a ghost? "
The old man nodded: "According to the description of the family, it is indeed so. Later, they went in several more times, each time trying to get their daughter back, but to no avail. And, according to them, they gradually found that their daughter was becoming more and more like Hongxi. By the time it was the end, it was exactly the same as Hongxi. "
The old man's words made us a little dazed: "So, this ghost can still eat other people's souls?" "
The old man continued: "This incident happened not once or twice, and then everyone spread the legend that the girl could not enter this alley, otherwise she would be captured by Hongxi and become her puppet, and slowly, she would become Hongxi." In short, this matter is very evil. People who have lived here for a few years know that no one dares to enter this alley. "
Wushuang scratched his head puzzled: "I also went in last night, why didn't I have anything to do?" "
I couldn't help but be happy: "Maybe that ghost saw that you were fierce and evil, and didn't dare to approach you." "
The thin man asked the old man worriedly: "The girl will become Hongxi when she walks in, but what about the man?" What will happen? To tell you the truth, my junior brother seems to have lost his soul there. "
The old man nodded: "I was about to say this. After the man walks in, the female ghost will seduce the man and marry him. Some people stayed, never came back. Some people fled back and spread the word. So everyone also speculated that Hongxi's suicide back then may have something to do with who she married, but we don't know what the specific reason is. "
At this point, the old man had finished his steamed buns, and he wiped his mouth and said to us, "I think you seem to have friends who have also fallen into that opera garden, so I kindly remind you a few words." If you want to get him back, it's better to be careful. "
When the old man said this, he shook his hand: "Boss, give you money." "
The boss hurriedly waved his hand: "What kind of money do you want, come often, come often." "
I thought to myself, this boss has a good heart, respects the old and loves the young.
The three of us ate slowly at the dinner table, discussing as we ate.
I asked Wushuang: "Have you ever seen this kind of ghost in the coffin shop for so many years?" "
Wushuang shook his head: "I haven't seen it." "
I asked the thin man, "What are we going to do?" "
The thin man looked at the sky: "It's not noon yet, it's blue and white, I feel quite safe, why don't we go in again?" "
I have a headache when I think about that little alley, I've been in it twice, and each time I didn't get anything good. I was so frightened that I almost got planted inside. There is a saying that there are no more than three things, and I am really worried that I will not really be entangled by ghosts when I tease me again and again.
However, what the thin man said also has a point. Now that the sky is blue, it should be safe. What's more, if you can't find the fat man, you can't know the whereabouts of the Dow Wizard.
Thinking of this, I scolded the fat man a thousand times in my heart. You have such an important task on you, why don't you go to this little alley? Isn't that a delay?
The thin man asked, "Have you eaten well?" "
I nodded, "Alright, let's go." "
The three of us got up to leave, but the boss stopped us: "Huh? You three haven't paid yet. "
I spread my hands: "What money?" The old man gave you money just now, didn't you want money? "
The boss was furious: "Fart, it was my second uncle just now, can I ask him for money?" You three, hurry up and give the money, or don't want to leave today. "
The boss shouted at this, and in an instant, a large circle of people gathered from around us and surrounded us.
Wushuang's face turned blue with anger. But the thin man stopped her and took out thirty dollars from his pocket: "Okay, I'll give the money." "
The boss took the money: "Not enough. "
The thin man was also angry, pointed to his sign and said, "Isn't it written?" Ten dollars for a bowl. I'll give you thirty, how is it not enough? "
The boss said slowly: "There is also a bowl from the old man just now." "
The three of us were immediately furious: "Are you still unreasonable? Want to fight? We're not afraid of you. "
The boss sneered: "Fight? We open our doors to do business and never fight. "
Then, he took out the phone and dialed a number: "Cousin, someone is making trouble with me, you can bring a few brothers from your office to the town." No, it's not slanderous, it's just ten yuan, these boys don't open their eyes, it's good, the last time. "
The boss made a call in a low voice, and then looked at the three of us with a proud expression: "You wait." "
Five minutes later, a police car roared in. really responded to that sentence, if there was a difficulty, find the police, and arrive at the scene in five minutes.
After the police car stopped, a few police officers walked down from it with a sliding door. The leader asked the boss, "What about people?" "
The boss pointed at the three of us: "That's them." Cousin, you need to teach them a good lesson. "
The policeman looked at us, suddenly turned around, raised his hand and slapped the boss: "You dare to lie to these good people?" In the future, I will not have you as a brother. "
The boss was stunned by this big slap, looked at the police squarely, and said with a crying voice: "Cousin." "
The policeman didn't pay any attention to him, turned around, and said with a smile on his face, "Two masters, why did you come here?" "
Who is this officer? It was Xiao Wang who worked with us before. Xiao Wang has seen my and Wushuang's skills with his own eyes, so he naturally respects and fears us.
When we first met him, he was a small police officer, and now he is leading the team.
I looked at him happily: "Rising? "
Xiao Wang's face was full of spring breeze: "It's up, expose the old director's merit, Ha Luha." "
We said a few polite words, and Xiao Wang invited us to sit at home, but we refused, said a few words, and sent them away.
The boss looked at the three of us in a daze, and still hadn't recovered yet. We ignored him and walked slowly down the alley.
After the boss's toss, my previous fear of the alley is gone.
The three of us walked in slowly. In broad daylight, it doesn't feel like much. I just think this wall is surprisingly high. People walk underneath and feel very oppressive.
We walked for a while, and finally came to the place where the fat man had walked through the wall last night.
The thin man raised his hand slightly, pointed to a place on the wall and said, "This is it." That's where the fat man came through. "
Wushuang and I looked incredulous, and fumbled around the wall for a while, but found no mechanism.
The thin man waved his hand and said, "Don't look for it, it's useless." I searched for more than ten minutes last night. Let's honestly flip through it. "
I pinched my arms and legs, still a little sore, and couldn't help muttering, "Why is this wall so high?" "
The thin man said casually: "Maybe it's to prevent others from lying on the wall to watch the play." Then he took a few steps back, ran for a while, then kicked his feet against the wall twice, reached out and grabbed the wall, and the whole person fell to the wall, and then lifted his body up with the strength of his arms.
Wushuang learned the same way, and he also turned it up.
I scratched my head embarrassedly: "I have injuries on my body, I can't go up." "
Wushuang sighed: "I really don't know why my father accepted you as an apprentice." Come on, we both pull you up. "
I stood on tiptoe at the base of the wall, trying to reach out my hand. Then, he was pulled to the wall by Wushuang and the thin man.
When I sat on the wall, I realized that the foundation inside the yard was much higher than the outside. In the alley, this wall is two or three meters high, but in the yard, it is only one person high.
The three of us jumped down. I started looking slowly in this yard.
I don't know how many years no one has been here. Waist-deep weeds. My feet are soft on the ground, and I don't know what the road is. Every two steps you take, you either startle the bird or scare away some animal.
In short, the heart was pounding along the way. But he didn't go far.
The thin man began to shout the fat man. However, he shouted more than a dozen times in a row, but there was no response.
We looked around here for a while, and found a row of dilapidated houses in the middle of the courtyard.
The three of us looked at each other, pointed to the house, and said, "It's possible that the fat man is there." "
We all nodded and started walking towards the house.
We only found out when we came to the dilapidated house. At first glance, the house may look dilapidated, but it still gives the impression that it has a beautiful layout, and it must have been a luxurious building a few decades ago.
The three of us pushed the door and walked in slowly.
There are weeds growing on the ground inside, too. However, it is much less than the outside.
We walked around the house and found it empty. And the house is very small, not like a resident.
I scratched my head: "There's nothing here." Where did the fat man go? "
Wushuang casually pushed the window in the room open.
As soon as these windows were opened, we found that almost the entire wall was full of windows. This design gives the impression that it is designed to make it easier for others to look out of this window.
The three of us stood in front of the window and looked outside.
Wushuang suddenly pointed to a place facing the window and said, "Look, does it look like there's a stage there?" "
