Chapter 477 The Wu Family's Old House
"I want you to leave immediately, without delay. Cao Cao said.
Just when we thought that the matter had been discussed, two soldiers ran from outside the courtyard, sweating profusely, and said: "Cao Gong, there are bandits slaughtering the village, let's leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late." ”
Cao Cao quickly left with two people, and as he was leaving, he looked back at me a few times.
I found that in his eyes, there was an indescribable gloom and treachery.
Ah Cai said: "Let's hurry up, otherwise we will inevitably experience a fierce battle." ”
"Let's go, go straight to the Wu family cemetery. I said.
But it backfired, when we went out of the village, we were blocked by those bandits, but fortunately, our tactics were fast, Liu Laosi just transformed, and those bandits fled in a hurry.
In order not to encounter more bandits, we still chose to leave quickly, but unfortunately the village has become a dead village.
After a few days of traveling, we inquired and walked, and on the way we met a mountain hunter.
"Ah Cai went to ask for directions, and I felt like I was almost there. I said.
"It's me every time, let Brother Wu Shu go this time. Acai said.
Liu Laosi patted his chest and said: "Let's go, speaking of this Wu family cemetery, I may still have some fate with him." ”
"Why?" I said.
"Back then, my father and I used to pass by the hill known as the Wu family cemetery, but after so many years, I don't know if there has been any change. Liu Lao Si said.
I said, "It won't change, so since you know the road, we don't need to ask, right?"
Liu Laosi scratched his head and said: "I was too young at the time, I'm afraid I can only remember some outlines, so it's better to inquire." ”
While talking, Liu Laosi ran to the hunter to ask for directions, and the hunter didn't know why, so he directly threw down the two rabbits in his hand and ran, looking extremely panicked.
"What's going on?" I shouted.
Liu Laosi said: "I don't know, I just said the Wu family cemetery, he seems to have changed as a person, didn't he just run away." ”
"Strange thing, is there something strange in the Wu family cemetery?" I thought about it for a while, and felt that it was wrong, and immediately said: "Hurry up and follow the hunter, maybe there is really something." ”
The four of us pursued the hunter as fast as we could through the valley, and when we reached the depths we saw a long-dilapidated mansion.
Liu Laosi seemed to be desperately reminiscing, and said for a long time: "It seems that I have been here at the beginning, but I always feel that something is not right." ”
Wu Shu said: "Who will live here in this old dilapidated house, is that the hunter a wild household?"
"Let's go and see it first, and help Liu Laosi recall. I said.
Liu Laosi walked ahead and led us into the courtyard of the house, he looked up at the big tree in the courtyard for a long time before saying, "By the way, this tree seems to be wrong." ”
"Hey, you were so little back then, this tree must have grown, a little change is nothing. Wu Shudao.
"No, this is an iron tree, it can only grow one meter in our north for a few decades, and the changes over the years should not be visible. I said.
Liu Laosi said: "Yes, there seem to be some red ropes on the tree, and there are some cards under the ropes." ”
"Can you see what's written on it?" I asked.
Wu Shu had already climbed the tree when he heard this, looked through them one by one, and ran down for a long time and said, "The ones on it are all names, but they are all surnamed Wu." ”
"You see, the signs on the top don't seem to be in the same position. Liu Lao Si said.
We were guessing the origin of the cards when we felt a dark shadow appear behind us, followed by several arrows falling from the sky and shooting at us.
"Get out of the way. I stretched out my hand and pulled Ah Cai and Liu Laosi apart, and Wu Shu quickly lay on the ground, dodging the hidden arrow.
"Who is it?" Wu Shu asked, drawing his sword and rushing out of the courtyard, the black shadow quickly disappearing.
Ah Cai said: "Isn't it the hunter just now?"
"Go and find it. I said.
The four of us went our separate ways to search the entire valley, but we couldn't find even a single human hair, except for a few footprints on the ground outside the courtyard.
At this time, I had already gathered with Liu Laosi and said, "It looks like there are at least three people." ”
"There are so many people, what's going on?" Liu Laosi was a little surprised.
"Go find them quickly, I'm afraid they're playing with us. ”
When we found Wushu in Taniguchi, we found that Acai's arm had been shot by a crossbow arrow, so we took off the arrow and bandaged it with a shirt.
"What about people?" asked Liu Laosi.
Ah Cai endured the pain and said: "Run, we didn't dare to chase, it should be three figures." ”
Liu Laosi said: "I remember, my father was shot here at that time, is it still those people that day?"
"Tell me what's going on?" I said.
According to Liu Laosi, his father was also besieged by three young people in order to enter the mansion, but fortunately, there were more than a dozen of us at the time, and the three ran away after the scuffle.
The mansion was in tatters, and it was said that there were only some spiritual seats enshrined in it, and nothing else.
"That's not going to work, we have to go in and have a look, maybe we can find something about the Wu family. I said.
Liu Laosi said: "I remember that my father said that this may not be the old mansion of the Wu family, he thinks it is an ancestral hall. ”
I didn't pay attention to Liu Laosi's explanation, and went directly to the mansion, and after entering the house, I found that there was only a copper basin in the house, and there were some freshly burned paper ashes in it.
"Is it really an ancestral hall?" I whispered.
Wu Shu was knocking around the room, and Ah Cai was looking for what she wanted.
In a moment, someone in the courtyard spoke: "A few masters, this is a place for the dead, what are you doing here?"
I heard the voice of crying, and there was also a woman's voice.
When we went out, we found that the hunter who started was carrying an old man and a middle-aged woman.
"How many of you are here?" I said.
"We're the caretakers here, what are you guys doing here?" asked the hunter.
I said, "We just want to find the old house of the Wu family and pay homage to the deceased." ”
"We don't have the surname Wu here, what are you doing here?" asked the hunter.
Wu Shu said: "You don't have the surname Wu, how to explain the cards on the tree, and the name of Wu. ”
The hunter smiled: "This is a private matter of our family, you don't need to know, so I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise we will not be welcome." ”
At this time, I found that there was something strange about these people, and I couldn't tell what was wrong.
Wu Shu covered his eyes with his hands and looked at the few people opposite: "Don't talk so rampantly, Lao Tzu has never met an opponent when he is so old." ”
I laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"I'm telling them, today we have to explore here, and if we don't find what we're looking for, we're not going to go. Wu Shudao.
"You don't want to get an inch, we're not to be messed with. The hunter said, not seeing him move, and out of nowhere, three crossbow bolts flew towards us.
Ah Cai shouted: "You shot and injured me just now, how can this account be calculated?"
"Wait!" I said, and Wu Shu whispered, "There is no shadow of the three of them. ”
"Huh, aren't they human?" Wu Shu exclaimed.
Liu Laosi said: "I'm afraid it's really not people, you see their feet, all floating in the air." ”
I looked intently and found that what Liu Laosi said was true, and immediately asked a few people to retreat into the room.
As soon as I entered the room, I closed the door and heard an unknown number of crossbow arrows coming from the door.
"Come with me, little one. Wu Shudao.
Wu Shu led us to the corner, where he used a shovel to dig out the bricks and pull out a handle.
I only heard a loud noise in the room, and a door appeared on the wall near the mountain, and we followed Wu Shu in.
As soon as I entered the door, the luxury and wealth inside made Ah Cai's saliva flow.
"Oh my God, so much treasure?" said Azer.
Wu Shu shut down the trap and installed his unique trap at the entrance.
We walked the path of the darkroom inward, and found a portrait of a person placed in front of the offering table.
"Wu Qi's spiritual position?" Liu Lao said.
I felt that things were not so simple, and said softly: "No, this tablet was set up by a descendant." ”
Ah Cai was groping around in the dark room, eager to take everything out, and suddenly she ran to the offering table.
"These three things are covered with red cloths, they should be more valuable things, let's take them away, little brother." Acai said.
"Let's see if there are any mechanisms here, Wu Shu said it's okay and then study if I can bring something out. I said.
I waved my fist: "No problem, take it!"
Ah Cai was so crazy that he uncovered a few red cloths, and was about to reach out to get them, when the whole person jumped back as if he had stepped on a spring.
"Skeletons!" called Acai.
I looked closely this time and saw three skeletons facing us, each with unrotten hair.
Judging by the shape of their heads, these three people are the ones who threatened us outside just now.
"There's a problem with this, you can't stay long, get out of the valley quickly. I said.
Wu Shu said: "Xiao Yan, do you think this can be the entrance to the cemetery?"
"No, look at this posture, this should be the descendants of the Wu family to take revenge, or for other reasons, they killed those three people and put them here to worship Wu Qi. I continued, "Go away, don't linger." ”
"What about the three ghosts outside?" Wu Shu said.
"Get the talismans ready and rush out. ”
Ah Cai took a few things from the dark room, put them in a cloth bag, and followed us out of the mechanism, and after standing in the courtyard, he found that the ghosts were gone.
"Strange, where did you go?" Wu Shu said.
"It's not good not to be there, run and be careful of hidden arrows hurting people, run. I said.
Actually, it's not that I'm afraid to fight them, and besides, it's daytime, so it's nothing.
However, if there is a ghost who can communicate with us in human words, it must be anything but ordinary, and in order to avoid more consumption, I still choose to leave.
"We really don't look anymore, and if this is the cemetery, we're missing it. ”
"Far from it, definitely not here, that's my gut feeling. I said.
As soon as we came out of the valley, Ah Caitong fell, and it seemed very difficult to get up, and when she opened the cloth bag, the whole person shrunk into a ball.
