Chapter Twenty-Three: Strange Totems

Dong Jing looked at me, and her eyes told me that she probably knew that I had been led into a fantasy by the filthy thing again.

She said with a little disgust: "What kind of physique are you?" At every turn, he is led astray by filthy things. ”

I took a sip and didn't answer her words.

I don't want my constitution to be like this, if it weren't for my special constitution, my cousin wouldn't be able to work with me.

I'm speechless!

But I didn't say anything more to her, and turned and went to the room at the back of the hallway on the third floor.

I heard a woman's voice from that side just now, and I must find that woman tonight.

As soon as I walked into the tail room, I started to have ringing in my ears.

My whole brain was buzzing, and I couldn't even hear what Dong Jing was saying in my ear.

"Are you alright? Wen Jie? ”

Dong Jing lit a talisman, and I watched the fire burn in front of me, and my ears were a little better.

I was a little sluggish, perhaps because the old house was very dark, and I couldn't see the road clearly, and my ears couldn't hear, which made me feel panicked.

"How's it going?"

Her tone seemed a little worried, but it was not as arrogant as just now.

Actually, I know, we have been working together for a long time, and she slowly knows that she cares about me.

It's just that she is always very strong, like a strong woman, so her attitude and tone of speech are not very comfortable.

"It seems to be fine, I didn't hear you say anything when I had tinnitus just now." I shook my head and motioned to reassure her.

She didn't say anything when she saw that I wasn't pretending.

The two of us looked for clues in the room, and this house had a lot of hidden compartments.

I suspect Uncle Wu lied to me, this place must have been inhabited a long time ago.

"But what did he tell you?" Dong Jing asked me.

He said that this old house has not been lived in for at least thirty or forty years. Since his parents died, he went to work in the city alone. He was just an adult. ”

As far as I can remember, that's exactly what he said.

According to the inference of the timeline, Uncle Wu does not live in this old mansion, and no one has entered the old mansion in the later period.

Although the rear room on the third floor is not clean, it is different from the other rooms, and I always have the feeling that someone once lived here.

And this person should have been away from here for less than half a year.

After that, the homeless man entered the old house and nailed planks to the top floor.

"Is there a possibility that even Uncle Wu didn't know that this old mansion was once inhabited?"

Dong Jing's words gave me a new way of thinking, and there is also this possibility.

But logically speaking, as long as someone enters the Wu family's old house, the village chief will definitely call and tell Uncle Wu.

But Uncle Wu didn't know it all along, which means that the village chief didn't explain it to him.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, the person who entered the old mansion is known in the village, and he is related to Uncle Wu.

"Your reasoning makes sense. When we get out of here, let's ask Sun Ming again. He lives near the old mansion, so he should know something. "The first time Dong Jing recognized me, it made me a little fluttery.

I'll admit that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death sometimes, but I'm actually quite smart.

Besides, it is normal for people to be greedy for life and afraid of death.

Inside the room, by the window, there is a large curtain. Behind the curtain, there was a small wooden box.

The wooden chest was locked with locks, and it was an old lock.

"My key can only be opened, this ancient lock is very guarded. And according to the current technology, it is basically impossible to let him open it intact. Besides, we don't have the tools on hand right now. ”

Dong Jing didn't want me to use violence to solve this matter, and I could understand that, after all, we didn't know what was inside this wooden box.

In the unlikely event that the wooden box is damaged in the process of violence, the contents may also be damaged.

Since the owner was able to put the wooden box here, the key was probably in this room.

We began a carpet search, and sure enough, we found a key nearby.

When I opened the wooden box, I was stunned.

Inside is a mirror, but the mirror is broken.

I can't tell if I was moving too much and exerting too much force to break the mirror. Or this mirror, which was originally broken.

Under the mirror, there is a letter.

There was a very strange totem drawn on the envelope, which didn't look like it was from China, but more like a foreign country or a Southeast Asian country.

The letter was opened, and the words were written crookedly like bugs, but at the end of the letter there was a phone number.

Strange to say, this phone number has an area code, but it doesn't add up to ten digits even with the area code.

This made me even more sure that this letter did not come from China.

"The envelope has a return address on it, but it also says that country, and I can't read it at all."

Dong Jing sighed a little discouraged.

"Don't worry, we've found a lot of clues now, and we can take our time when we get out. I guess we won't be able to accomplish these things tonight, so we'll try to find as much information as possible in this old mansion. This helped my cousin a lot. ”

Before I put the letter in my pocket, I took a picture of the strange totem with my phone.

We can't take the mirror away, after all, it's broken, and it's dangerous to carry on the body.

Walking around the house again, we found some other knick-knacks.

A red string, some ancient coins, a few more replies and a few bracelets that looked useless, but were made of silver.

These things, but anything that is linked to money and placed in the old house, we are not allowed to touch it.

Because that's the owner's stuff, it's also a taboo for us to sweep the house.

But I had to take it, and it was an important clue for us.

My pockets were already full, and I handed over some of the remaining silver jewelry to Dong Jing.

Getting to the stairs, we either went up or down.

"It's all here, so let's go up. By the way, see if the homeless man is telling the truth, he is very likely to lie to us. Dong Jing reminded me: "After all, there are a lot of valuable things in this old mansion, maybe he said that he came to collect money." ”

I shook my head and wanted to refute, after all, Sun Ming also said that everyone knows the homeless in these villages.

He never asked for money from others, he only begged for a meal.

But there is one sentence that I agree with Dongjing, anyway, they are all here, and we haven't searched carefully on the rooftop, so it doesn't hurt to go.

I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the rooftop, I would be stupid.

There was yellow and white paper money floating all over the sky, and there was a coffin next to it.
