Chapter 312: Ancient Mansion (2)

The hand quickly landed on top of me, and in that moment, all three of us stopped. An icy chill rose from the back of the spine, and the tingling sensation of the scalp spread throughout the body. We were all stunned for a second or two, it turned out that the person behind us not only put his hand on my shoulder, but also on Jiang Jun's shoulder!

The next moment, we jerked around, and just as we were moving, the hand that was on us reached back, and a large figure imprinted into our pupils. He had short hair, the skin on his face was rough and dark, and his eyes were glazed out, even though his eyes were on us. But I always felt like he was looking somewhere else.

His eyes were cold, and goosebumps all over our bodies rose when we saw it, this person was Da Zhuang who entered the Xiao family's compound with food. It's just that at this moment, the food he was holding in his hand no longer knew where to go, and standing face to face with Da Zhuang, we finally saw his appearance clearly.

His hands drooped, his face expressionless, and he looked at each other for a long time, and Da Zhuang didn't say a word.

Jiang Jun squinted his eyes and licked his lips: "Are you Da Zhuang?" ”

Although it has been confirmed, Jiang Jun still asked. Finally, Da Zhuang moved, and he did not answer Jiang Jun's words. Instead, he turned around in a daze, and walked out the door like a walking corpse, Da Zhuang was so weird that the three of us looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then prepared to go out.

Before leaving the room, I took the genealogy in front of the tablet, but by the time we crossed the threshold, Da Zhuang was gone!

The sky was getting darker and darker, and there was hardly any light in the long corridors, and the ends of the corridors were pitch black, but there was no longer a big figure in sight.

"Where did you go?" Jiang Jun asked in confusion.

"It's weird. The compound is too big. He knows this place well, and if he wants to hide, we won't be able to find it for a while. I replied.

Jiang Jun nodded: "No wonder the villagers are afraid of him, he walks without making a sound at all." ”

Indeed, Da Zhuang's appearance is too terrifying, if it were someone else, I am afraid that he would have been scared a long time ago. We were so nervous just now that we didn't take a closer look at what shoes Da Zhuang was wearing, and we didn't know if the sound of walking that had just brought us here was from Da Zhuang.

It's just that Jiang Jun's hearing and alertness are very good, and ordinary people have already discovered it when they get so close. But just now, not only Shen Nuo and I didn't notice it. Even Jiang Jun was startled by the sudden hand. As I was thinking, there was another sound of shredded footsteps behind us.

We immediately turned around, and behind us was the little house we had just entered. After the door was opened, we looked into the room, and the first thing that came into our sight was a dense cabinet of tablets and large and small urns behind the tablets. After a few quick glances, the names recorded on the tablet are all members of the Xiao family, looking at the time of death, these people should be the last few generations of the Xiao family.

I had the Xiao family tree in my hand, but I didn't have time to look through it.

Because the moment we turned around, the footsteps stopped, but I'm sure that the sound came from the house, that is, the person, right in the house! We looked around, and we realized that the room wasn't as small as it seemed at first glance.

There is no light on the sides of the room, which can easily make people feel like the end, and there is also a large space behind the cabinet full of signs. The mobile phones in Jiang Jun and Shen Nuo's hands emitted a faint blue light, and the faint light failed to illuminate the room, but it made their faces weird.

We walked around the cabinet and slowly walked towards the space behind the cabinet. There was nothing left in this room except the cupboard, not even a spare table or stool, and this room seemed to be dedicated to the dead who were recorded on the tablets.

We all held our breath, the room was quiet and scary, our shoes on the ground, and the sound of footsteps echoed through the room for a long time. Jiang Jun stretched out his hand to stand in front of us, he motioned for us to be quiet, and then he closed his eyes and listened to the movement in the room.

We didn't dare to disturb Jiang Jun, it was hard to imagine that we had to go to such trouble finding someone in an empty room. It's just that the room is so dark that if it weren't for the blue light of our mobile phones, we might not be able to see our fingers when we reach out.

Finally, Jiang Jun opened his eyes, he held his phone in front of him, and strode in one direction. It was the corner of the room, and as Jiang Jun approached, the corner was lit up little by little, and the first thing we saw was a human head that was reflected in the light of the mobile phone.

Shen Nuo covered his mouth and almost screamed.

The human head, hanging in mid-air, kept his head down, but as we approached, he slowly raised his head. My heart sank suddenly, and Jiang Jun's hand holding the mobile phone trembled, but immediately, I calmed myself down again, I took the mobile phone in Jiang Jun's hand, and continued to take a step forward, and now, the person's body was finally illuminated.

Because the light was too dim, the blue light of the phone only hit the person's head, which made us have a visual bias and mistakenly think that we only saw a human head.

The man was full of white hair, squatting in the corner, and when we looked up, we saw his wrinkled face. This man is so old, I have never seen an old man so old. Just like the feeling of seeing Da Zhuang, the feeling that the old man gives us is also gloomy.

He didn't look like a human being, because I couldn't see any life in him, his eyes were cloudy, he had no brilliance at all, he was more of a soulless skin than a human being. When the coolness in my heart rose, I immediately guessed who this person was: Xiao Lao.

Xiao Lao's appearance is exactly the same as the camel's description.

"You are Xiao Lao." I said to him.

Xiao Lao slowly raised his hand, and we took a step back vigilantly. Xiao Lao's hand was suspended, and when he didn't understand what Xiao Lao meant, Xiao Lao stretched out his finger again, and looked down to see that Xiao Lao's finger was pointing at my hand, to be precise, pointing to the Xiao family tree in my hand.

I was slightly stunned and handed the genealogy in my hand to Xiao Lao. After Xiao Lao took the genealogy, he slowly stuffed the genealogy into his clothes. He stood up against the wall and walked slowly and leisurely outside, his posture was similar to that of Da Zhuang, but much slower than Da Zhuang.

Originally, I thought that Xiao Lao would not say a word like Da Zhuang, but after crossing the threshold, Xiao Lao held on to the wooden door and said quietly: "Leave the Xiao family." ”

"Elder Xiao, I want to borrow your genealogy to take a look." I pleaded to Xiao Lao's emaciated back.

But Xiao Lao didn't answer me anymore, he continued to walk out slowly and leisurely, and by the time we reacted and chased out, Xiao Lao, like Da Zhuang, had disappeared into the dark corridor aisle. I sighed, and sure enough, the investigation wouldn't go so well.

We walked out the same way, and at this time, we had to ask the villagers about the situation.

"Professor Li, I knew that I would go through the genealogy first." Jiang Jun lamented.

I smiled with relief: "Entering the Xiao family's compound without consent is already our fault, and the genealogy is also someone else's thing, they want to go back, we can't steal or rob it." I paused: "Xiao Yingfeng should be the Xiao family, there won't be so many coincidental things, go ask the villagers, I hope there are people in the know." "Irony is long dead.

Jiang Jun nodded: "However, this Da Zhuang and Xiao Lao are really strange, no wonder the villagers think they are dead." ”

I smiled, didn't answer, and before leaving the house, I subconsciously glanced at the strange well and the cement powder piled up next to the wall.

Walking out of the Xiao family's compound, we stood at the gate, discussing which way to go. Inadvertently turning around, I saw Xiao Lao standing by the well in front of the house from a distance, leaning down and looking at something.

Jiang Jun and Shen Nuo also noticed Xiao Lao's actions, and after a while, Xiao Lao slowly walked back to the house. The moment I closed the door of the house, Xiao Lao's eyes swept over me.
