Chapter 238: The Empty House (Asking for Votes)

This time, Su Yixin took Gu Qingjue to be killed, as well as his brother Li Zhengzhen and Gao Ge.

The four of them set off in the morning until the sun was about to set, and then they fell next to a meadow ten miles outside Shuozhou City.

Then walk into the city.

By the time they entered the city, the sun had completely set.

The four of them first found an inn to stay.

On the second day, I went to Futing Street, which Yang Junsheng had found before.

Futing Street is the street of the Fan family.

After fifteen or sixteen years of changes, the families who were close to Fan's house have moved away one after another, not only Fan's house is overgrown with wild grass, but also several families next to it are full of weeds.

"Let's go to a nearby house to find out the news."

The family next to what Gu Qingjue said was about three families away from Fan's house.

In front of the house sat a seventy-year-old woman.

On such a cold day, she was not in the house, but lit a fire at the door, and there was a rocking chair wrapped in worn-out cotton wool next to her, and after the fire was lit, she lay on the rocking chair.

"Old man."

Su Yixin shouted.

The old woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at Su Yixin.

The whites of her eyes have become cloudy, and her voice is more like a broken gong, very hoarse: "Little girl, who are you looking for?" ”

"The old man, my surname is Su, I want to find my relative, she used to live in that family's house."

The old woman followed Su Yixin's finger and saw Fan Zhai.

"Oh, you're looking for that family. Then don't look for it, that family is long gone. ”

"Old man, I am a distant cousin of the Fan family, and I am here to join them."

The old woman looked at Su Yixin again, as well as Gu Qingjue and the others.

Seeing that they were all dressed well, he laughed: "Little girl, you didn't tell the truth." ”

"You see what you're wearing, it's not an ordinary child. This family, there was no one as early as sixteen years ago, you are here to look for it, where is the defection, obviously you want to ask the whereabouts of the Fan family. ”

Su Yixin: "......"

You really can't fool the old man.

The family is not old-hearted, and their minds are clear.

Gu Qingjue took a step forward at this time and said, "Don't blame the old man, he is really old and has scruples, so he will say so." My name is Gu Qingjue, my mother's surname is Fan, and the kid found this place after many inquiries, wondering if my mother was born in this family. ”

The old man sighed.

After a long time, he said loudly: "The old woman has lived here all her life, tell me, what is your mother's name?" ”

"Fan Chengfang."

The old woman's eyes were wide open.

Sit up, look at Gu Qingjue, and look up and down carefully.

Then nodded: "Look at it so closely, you do have some resemblance to Fang Yatou, but her name is Fan Huifang, not Fan Chengfang." ”

Fan Huifang, Fan Chengfang.

It is highly likely that after Fan left Shuozhou, he changed his name.

"Hey!"

The old woman sighed: "This Fan family is already beautiful." ”

The old woman spoke, looking into the distance, and her voice began to become ethereal, telling her what she knew.

The Fan family is prosperous, but Fan Huifang is the only girl in the Fan family.

Fan's family is extremely favored in the Fan family, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, riding and shooting, everything, let alone a woman, there are very few men in the entire Shuozhou who can rival her.

It is said that the Fan clan was guarding Shuozhou, but they were ordered by their ancestors to guard a secret.

What this secret is no one knows.

Sixteen years ago, a large number of outsiders suddenly came to Shuozhou, which had always been peaceful, and they all stayed outside Fan's house to find out what was going on inside.

But Fan's master is like a cloud, guarding Fan's house like an iron bucket.

I can't easily find out any news.

But I don't know what's going on, suddenly one night, the people who stayed outside Fan's house disappeared overnight, and the next morning, the neighbors who came and went found that Fan's house was quiet, like an empty house.

Even the guards who usually stood guard at the door were gone.

The neighbor was suspicious, so he knocked at the door.

After knocking for a long time, no one came, so I pushed hard, but I didn't expect to push the door open.

The huge Fan Mansion disappeared without a trace overnight, and there was no one.

The things inside, except for the flowers and plants, were taken away.

Speaking of this, the old woman's empty focus was retracted, and she said to Gu Qingjue: "It's really strange, I've been guarding the door, but I haven't seen how the Fan family disappeared." ”

After hearing this, Su Yixin also felt incredible.

If you want to say that it was wiped out, how long will the entire Fan family, hundreds of people, have to be killed?

Drugged?

Those people have been wandering outside the Fan Mansion for so long, and the Fan Mansion has long been on guard, even if some people are unprepared, it is impossible for so many people to be poisoned at the same time.

A few hundred people evaporated out of thin air overnight?

After thanking the old woman, Su Yixin quietly put some broken silver under the old woman's rocking chair.

It's not that Su Yixin doesn't want to give more.

In the case of the old woman, too large denominations of silver would only bring disaster to her, and some broken silver would be more practical for her.

"I'd like to go in and have a look."

"Okay."

Time has passed, and the uninhabited Fan Mansion fifteen years ago is full of weeds, and the trees planted back then are unscrupulous.

A few people pulled the weeds forward.

Fortunately, it is winter, and the grass and trees have withered and yellowed, so there is no need to work so hard.

"This is the main hall, right?"

Good fellow, there is nothing in the main hall, not only no tables, not even a chair in sight.

I don't know if it was the people of the Fan family who took it away back then, or if they saw that the Fan house was empty, someone came in and took these things away.

Going out from the main hall, I walked to the left, and I found nothing but the abandoned garden and the collapsed courtyard wall.

They returned to the main hall, and from the right, there were rows of side rooms, some of the door frames had fallen off, and when they looked inside, there was nothing.

All in all, it's all clean.

All that's clean is this empty shell.

Li Zhengzhen looked at Gu Qingjue and said, "Ziyuan, why don't we go back to the inn first?" ”

"Let's take a look!"

Gu Qingjue said: "If they weren't wiped out overnight, then there should be a tunnel in the house, only in this way can it be explained, the old lady at the door didn't see people come out, but all the people disappeared overnight." ”

Li Zhengzhen scratched his head: "If it's really authentic, it's not easy to find." ”

It is related to the fate of a family, it must be set up very secretively, if the Fan Mansion is normal, it is possible to find it, but now there are weeds everywhere, and any clues have been covered up by weeds, it is too difficult to find.

Su Yixin looked at the weeds that had withered and yellowed all over the yard and said, "Brother, I will set up a formation now, and you are responsible for burning all these weeds." ”
