Chapter 5 Ancient Mansions
Song Yu hung up the phone, shook his head, took out his mobile phone and searched the situation of the Du family's ancient mansion first. But he was surprised to find that the Du family's old mansion was actually in this world of information explosion, and there were only two short sentences: 'Located in X City, S Province, covering an area of more than 100 acres, it was built about 200 years ago. Song Yu felt a moment in his heart, and he felt that things had become complicated.
Taking advantage of the boss's efforts to serve the food, Song Yu smiled and said to the boss: "Brother, will this be busy?
When the boss heard this, he wiped his hand on the apron around his waist: "What's the matter, brother." ”
"I want to ask about the house across from us, I have a good big brother who wants to take down the entire tourist attraction. We've been searching for a long time and haven't been able to find out who the owner is, so let me come here today to see for myself. I've been here for a long time, and I can't find out who the owner is if I don't open this door, so I'll ask you about it. ”
"You said this old house, this is the property of the Du family, it is the Du family that is particularly powerful in our S Province now, what kind of light brain is my daughter using now, the flat plate is all made by this Du family. After the boss wiped his hands, he sat opposite Song Yu.
"Then do they usually go back here?" Song Yu picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for the boss, then asked a question.
"The Du family is still very nostalgic, and the big family will come back every year for the New Year, and at that time, the car in front of this big house is all kinds of things, and we may not have seen it in our lifetime. And then it's usually Qingming, and someone will come back to burn incense to the ancestral tomb on the Winter Clothes Festival or something. The boss said as he gestured to Song Yu.
"Then when was this big mansion built? Was it built by the Du family in the past?"
"Yo, then I don't know, anyway, I was born to be the Du family's house. ”
Just when Song Yu wanted to continue asking, there was a shout from the back kitchen: "Lao Wang, you go there and serve the dishes to the guests." ”
The boss embarrassedly wiped his hands with his apron and said to Song Yu: "Brother, I have to go first, and I'll talk about it when I'm done." ”
Unexpectedly, when Song Yu finished eating, the boss was not busy anymore. Song Yu had no choice but to settle the bill and leave, and by the way, he gave the boss an extra fifty as information fees.
Leaving the restaurant and finding the car, I drove around the house. When he drove to the door, Song Yu stopped and took a look, the quaint three-open gate, a plaque was hung on the gate, and two big characters were written on the door; there were two lanterns hanging next to the plaque, although the lantern was not a candle, but the yellow bulb reflected the red lampshade of the lantern and the dark red light shone on the plaque, the gate, and the reliefs on both sides of the gate, which seemed to be treacherous everywhere at the door of the Du Mansion.
After thinking about it at the door for five minutes, Song Yu gave up the idea of getting out of the car to look at the relief and knocking on the door from the main door to enter, drove to the side of the ancient house, found a place to hide the car, and got out of the car.
After finding a brightly lit place, Song Yu took out a few strange-looking parts from his clothes and combined them with the light, and after the combination, Song Yu shook his hand, threw out the hook and hooked it on the wall, pulled it and tried to hang it tightly, and then took two steps back; After making sure that there was no broken glass on the wall, he pulled his hands and sat down on the wall. With the help of the street lamp outside the wall, he disassembled the short stick in his hand and reassembled it. Then press the buttons on some of the handles, and a beam of light shoots out from the top of the stick's head, and the stick turns into a flashlight again.
Following the light in his hand, Song Yu glanced down. Hey, sure enough, there is no humanity in the trench, behind the wall he climbed into is actually a pond, and the lotus flowers raised in the pond are now withered and dilapidated, but if he is not cautious enough to turn into it directly, it will not only become a soup chicken, but also step on a foot of silt.
After Song Yu finished looking at the pond, he sat on the wall and looked at the house, this pond should be in the middle of the house, and now there are lights in the front and back yards of the house. After thinking about it, Song Yu stood up from the wall and headed towards the backyard.
As mentioned earlier, Song Yu's thinking and practices are very different from ordinary people, it stands to reason that such a big house, staying here alone late at night, even if he has amazing courage and a clear heart, he should not go to the backyard. If something happens to people in the backyard, it takes half an hour to run to the front yard. But Song Yu thought about it, a normal person who let his wife guard the empty room in the middle of the night and ran to this old mansion by himself, there must be something strange in it. And this backyard light, that is the strangeness of the strange, so if you want to find Du Zhiyuan, it is right to run to the backyard.
Walking across the pond and finding a vacant lot, Song Yu easily jumped off the wall. At this time, some people asked, why don't you go directly to the backyard at the head of the wall and then jump down? First, it is unsafe to walk on the wall; second, there are still people walking outside the wall, in case you look up and see someone doing Peter Pan, it will be difficult to call the police directly to arrest Song Yu.
After identifying the direction, Song Yu continued to walk to the backyard, and only found it halfway through. Damn, although the Du family has maintained the old structure of the ancient house in terms of structure, they have made changes in many details, they actually bulldozed a lot of vegetation and porch steps from the front yard to the back yard. The previous trail was expanded and a two-lane lane was built.
Song Yu complained about the inhumanity of the trench as he walked down the road to the backyard. After walking for about five minutes, Song Yu saw an arch leading to the backyard. Next to the arch is also like the gate, there are two lanterns hung, and unlike the door, these two lanterns are really lit candles, Song Yu took a photo and sent it to Qiao Shiyu, and without waiting for Qiao Shiyu to reply, he walked into the arch. The moment he entered the door, there was a sudden gust of wind, the candles flickered a few times, the lights flickered on and off, Song Yu lifted the short stick and put it on his chest, then turned around and leaned against the wall and looked around vigilantly. After a few moments, the candle returned to light and there was silence.
After Song Yu was on guard for a while, he found that he seemed to be fighting wits and courage with the air, and after calming down for a while, he observed the backyard, where the houses on both sides of the road were neatly arranged on both sides of the road, and the end of the road was the source of the backyard lights, the main building in the backyard, a two-story building. A total of six lanterns were hung on the three doors.
Song Yu opened his phone and took a look, but Qiao Shiyu still didn't reply, he took another photo and sent it over. Then, under the eaves of the house on the side of the road, try to hide your figure as much as possible, and approach the backyard light.
When I got closer, the windows and doors of the main building were wide open, as if I was inviting you into the urn, and the silence around me did not seem like a human being. At this time, Song Yucai felt that he might have guessed the wrong direction, but he thought to himself, it's all here, so it's better to go in and have a look. So he stepped out of the shadows and walked straight towards the main building.
At the moment when Song Yu stepped into the main building, he suddenly felt a black shadow flashing behind him, turned his head to look, suddenly the wind blew fiercely, the lanterns went out four times, and the bright main building instantly became as treacherous as in front of the gate. And the black shadow seems to be Song Yu's illusion. Song Yu waited for a while and found that there was no other abnormality, so he slowly retreated backwards and retreated into the main building. When he entered the main building, a strange syllable sounded in his head, and although he had never heard similar language before, he understood the meaning of the sentence in an instant.
