Volume 1_Chapter 25 The King's Carpet (3)

Tao Xiaozhi and the others said goodbye to the funeral procession and headed towards the "strange house".
At this time, the sky is getting dark, the fog in the mountains is thick, all kinds of night birds and insects are calling in advance, and their strange songs echo in the mountains.
Darkness is also very popular!
They led their horses and climbed to the top of the mountain.
Since the mountain was low, and the road was not very rough, and there was no scenery to be nostalgic about, they walked in a hurry and soon reached the summit.
There is a big house not far away, very dilapidated, surrounded by a few trees and a few crop fields as decorations, which can be regarded as a not too bad landscape painting.
Is this the "weird house"? It's just a very shabby, ordinary house. If you really want to say "weird", then "weird" is so shabby that a breeze can blow it "creaking", and it is in danger of collapsing at any time!
"Is there really anyone living in such a dilapidated house?" asked Silly Xingxing, putting a finger to his mouth, very silly and innocent.
"Baa~" The big scalper who was tied to the old trunk in front of the house screamed, probably answering the question of the stupid star!
The group didn't say much, and ran straight to the big house.
How dilapidated the big house is, if you don't get closer, it really won't startle you (because it's getting late, the night is foggy, and what you see in the distance may be the perspective that Impressionists loved: hazy beauty)!
The paint on the wood of the house was peeling off like the bark of a pine tree, and the wood was gnawed by termites, and it was full of holes, and when the breeze blew, the powder was all over the sky, as if the house was on fire and smoking;
If you want to see how dilapidated this house is, you don't have to look anywhere else, just look at its door, just like looking at a person's face and looking at her face can basically draw conclusions. This door is very big, so big that several elephants can squeeze through it in parallel; the door is also very broken, not only the paint is gone, but also the door shaft has been gnawed off by termites, half of the door is resting diagonally, swaying in the breeze, like a guillotine knife; this door is also very strange, there is no lock, and there is a "Guan Second Uncle bathing picture" on the left façade (roughly looks like Guan Yu taking a bath with a towel in stripes, relatively simple, outlined in a few strokes, and the movements and expressions are very exaggerated)", and there is a picture on the right façade Zhang Sanye shaving his beard (roughly speaking, Zhang Fei shaved with a knife)", these two pictures are mostly from the hands of three-year-old children, because only children have such a rich and peculiar imagination. There is also a couplet on the left and right sides of the door, the upper one is "who has never done it to steal chickens and dogs", the lower one is "who has robbed the house and robbed the house", and the horizontal batch is "the thief please come in". It is worth noting that in front of the gate, on the eaves, a rope hangs down, and a small wooden board is hung.
Tao Xiaozhi tied the cow to the tree where the cow was, came to the gate, and then looked at it dumbfounded, unable to say a word for a long time.
"It's weird: there are no locks, these shameful paintings, and those couplets that make people cry and laugh!" "Huoxing touched the wooden rattan hoop on his head, and said with a bitter gourd face.
Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "If it's not 'weird', how can it be called 'weird house'! However, I personally think it's very interesting!"
Silly Star said: "We are not thieves, so should we go in?"
"Anyone?" Vulcan shouted into the house, "We're sending money into your pockets!"
When they heard the word "money", most people reacted in response. But there was no one in the house to answer at all, and such an abnormal result may indicate that there was no one in the house at all! No one, probably because they had gone to work and had not returned. In these years, under the system of the Demon Domain, those who don't go out early and return to the stars and the moon at night are no longer called farmers!
"Is there anyone? the living and the dead should be heard。。。。。。 Flaming Star shouted angrily.
Tao Xiaozhi said angrily: "What are you shouting, don't you see what is written here?"
"Here" refers to the small wooden board hanging from the rope, and there are some words on the small wooden board: except for cats, dogs, and night birds, it is not allowed to make loud noises, otherwise pull this rope hard, and you will naturally get the desired result!
"What is it written!!
Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "Of course, enter this room, and then sleep well, if you can, it is best to have a good dream of back pain!"
"What is 'a good dream of back pain'?" asked Silly Star.
Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "Adults talk, children don't interject!"
She has no opinion on saying that the stupid star is a child, but if she wants to tell her not to intervene, she can't do it if she doesn't get angry, which shows to a certain extent that stupid people can't be bullied! In her anger, she reached out and grabbed the small wooden plank, and pulled hard one by one, "click", and their center of gravity suddenly fell and kept falling!
It turned out that there was a large "mouth" open under their feet, and then they fell into this "mouth".
The three of them, plus a small pet, fell into a pile, screaming and screaming into the sky!
It's a trap, about three or four feet in radius and about ten feet high, and the mouth of the trap is made up of two "doors", and the switch is the rope!
Luckily, there were no deadly weapons such as bayonets and thistles in the trap, so they didn't suffer much damage, and instead of falling, they fell very comfortably, as if they had fallen into a pile of cotton, because there was indeed a thick sheet of cotton at the bottom of the well!
Although they were not injured, they were really frightened!
"Damn it, it's a black shop! When I go up, I'll have to burn it with a fire!" said Huoxing angrily.
Tao Xiaozhi said: "Although I don't know if it's a black shop, at least they don't have the evil intention to kill us, otherwise they wouldn't have put a quilt under our buttocks。。。。。。 ”
Huoxing said angrily: "How dare you play Lao Tzu, don't they know that the person who comes is Huoxing!!, who is not afraid of heaven and earth?!
"Ahh
Silly Star suddenly screamed, almost fainted, pointed to the wall of the trap and exclaimed, "Look at one by one"
There are six butt-sized pits on the wall of the pit, which just form a circle, and each pit has a skull on it!
Tao Xiaozhi said: "Sure enough, it's a black shop! It's just a very strange and cunning black shop!"
A faint light shone down from the mouth of the trap, and if you looked closely, you could see that each skull was biting a small note in its mouth!
Huoxing opened the first skull's note, which read: Congratulations! You have won the lottery!! please go to hell to claim the prize after winning, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact King Yama, thank you for your patronage!
Huoxing tore the note to shreds, smashed the skull with a punch, and said angrily: "Those who dare to play the most handsome Huoxing will end up like this!"
Tao Xiaozhi opened another note, which was written crookedly: Hinayana (good) multiply, who called you Wen (this) multiply? You Wen (this) multiply, tell me to dagger (can) not (put) you want to (play) like a seedling (cat) and a sheep (like)Miao (meow) Miao (meow) Miao (meow)~~ This note is written crookedly, full of typos, as if it was written by a child.
Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "This one is quite interesting!"
Silly Xingxing read another note (the handwriting is neatly written, very beautiful) and said: "If you are a beautiful girl, please don't call me handsome, let alone love me, because I don't like people who love my face, and I don't like people who don't! If you like my face, I'll buy one get one free, and give you my heart; if you like my heart, then you have to exchange your heart for my face, who told you that you are the beautiful girl I like?"
Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "It's really weird, what is written? It's his face when it's written and written, why is it so shameless!!"
Silly Star said: "Look at what the other notes have written!"
"Don't look at it!" "Fire Star smashed all the skulls with a wave of his fist, and tore the note off, "The more you look at it, the more angry it becomes, it's all a trick!"
"That's right!" Tao Xiaozhi said, "The most important thing for us now is not this, but to find a way to escape from this damn pit!"
At this time, suddenly this voice came from above the mouth of the trap: "Hey, little girl, three rabbits have fallen down, this is fun!"
