Chapter 92: The Old Mansion Sleepwalks
Hold a compass in your hand.
Zhu Xiaozhou walked around the house and probed every corner as much as he could.
Strangely, there was no abnormality on the compass.
“...... How long have you been moving here? Zhu Xiaozhou asked while calculating.
This old house is at least a hundred years old.
It's an old house.
Although this is an ancient city, the real thing has not been preserved much, and it has been updated again and again, and the old one has been demolished and covered with an imitation of the old, and the result is nondescript everywhere.
But this house is different...... In the middle of the city, there is the most lively night market.
During the special period, a large courtyard here was divided into several families, and it was built indiscriminately, so crowded that there was no extra foothold in the yard. Later, the property rights were not clear, but no one was willing to give in, even if it was inconvenient to live......
Your family and my family are all here to make do.
are waiting for the city to recycle the house and arrange a new building for them.
But what Zhu Xiaozhou didn't expect was-
There will be a family that buys the entire yard.
The yard was also demolished, and the original shack was restored to its original appearance. The green bricks on the wall are untouched, antique......
It really amazed Zhu Xiaozhou.
"I bought it the year before last, and it took a year and a half to clean it up, and it took less than two months to move in." It was the daughter-in-law of the family, Sun Xiaoying, who spoke. "My father-in-law writes calligraphy, and he writes and reads books on weekdays, and he has never provoked anything. I don't know how to ......."
Sun Xiaoying's father-in-law is a famous calligrapher.
Her husband is in the real estate business, but he is often away from home, and he also bought this old house.
Since the house was cleaned up, Sun Xiaoying's father-in-law has moved over, and she occasionally brings her son over for a day on weekends.
"You didn't live here with the old man?" Zhu Xiaozhou was curious, the old man looked like he was seventy or eighty, and no matter how hard his body was, he couldn't do without people around him.
"My child has to go to school, and I usually live here, it's too far away from the school." Sun Xiaoying explained that the child must arrive at school before 8 o'clock, and the traffic jam here is very inconvenient. "He doesn't usually like to be disturbed by people around him, and we live here and bother him. However, we hired a babysitter for him. ”
In order to take care of the old man's life, the couple invited an aunt to the old man.
Then, an older sister in her forties was called in from outside.
Sun Xiaoying said, "This is Sister Hao, she usually lives here and takes care of my father-in-law." ”
"yes, I've been here since they moved here, and I've been taking care of them." Sister Hao experienced what happened last night, and she was also scared. "Nothing happened a while ago, just from this month...... It's scared to death! ”
Last night, Sister Hao fell asleep in her room.
Suddenly, she heard movement in the yard, and she thought it was the old man who got up to write, but when she saw that the time was already half past one, she didn't move.
But after a while, I heard a conversation in the courtyard......
“...... I really heard their voices, the voices of two people. I felt that something was wrong, there was no one in this courtyard except me, who could he talk to! Sister Hao spread her hands and was extremely shocked. And it's so late, it's impossible for someone to come. ”
"So, you see them?" Zhu Xiaozhou asked tentatively.
On the way here, Aunt Li roughly described some situations to her, but she didn't make it clear.
After all, Aunt Li also listened to them.
Zhu Xiaozhou probably figured out that the old gentleman of this family is a cousin of Aunt Li, her cousin has been dead for more than ten years, and the two families have little contact on weekdays, that is, during the New Year's holidays, Sun Xiaoying and his wife will walk around and give gifts to relatives and friends.
Sun Xiaoying once heard Aunt Li say that there is a girl with "yin and yang eyes" next door who can see things.
So when the old gentleman had an accident, Sun Xiaoying thought of the "yin and yang-eyed" girl in Aunt Li's mouth and called Aunt Li. Aunt Li went to Qiyundang to find Zhu Xiaozhou......
But at that time, Zhu Xiaozhou was in the underworld.
Ran empty.
There was another accident last night, and Sister Hao was clamoring to resign, saying that she didn't dare to do anything in this house.
After listening to Sister Hao's words, Sun Xiaoying was also frightened, and found Aunt Li again-
So there was Aunt Li who came to look for Zhu Xiaozhou, and it happened that Zhu Xiaozhou followed Aunt Li here.
"What about them!" Sister Hao said, "When I opened the door, I saw the old gentleman standing alone in the courtyard. I asked him, why didn't he go back to sleep so late? Is someone coming......"
It's normal.
"But how did I think that the old gentleman stood there motionless, and his eyes were closed, so he ...... It's like sleepwalking! What's even more terrifying is that both voices came from him! I really heard two voices from his mouth, and they were talking! He didn't react at all! ”
So, Sister Hao was terrified.
Now I don't want to do anything here anyway.
"Xiao Zhu! You can show it, is there anything in this house that is not in a hurry? Aunt Li came to Zhu Xiaozhou and wanted to inquire about the result.
She felt that it must be a problem with this house.
It's been an old house for so many years...... How could there be nothing?
"The house is very clean." Zhu Xiaozhou said, "The feng shui pattern is also very good, not a problem of the house." ”
"How is that possible, take a closer look, this is an old mansion!" Aunt Li didn't believe it.
Zhu Xiaozhou found something, stepped aside, and touched the chair. "Did you bring the furniture in this house when you bought it?"
"It's not." Sun Xiaoying explained, "Some of them were collected by my father-in-law before, and some of them were collected by my husband outside during the construction here...... But it's all serious old things, not the old ones, and it's not a bargain in such a house. ”
"That's not what it meant."
Zhu Xiaozhou didn't suspect that things were fake.
She was just curious, the history of this house is one or two hundred years, and many things in the house are of different ages.
"Is there something wrong with this thing?" When Aunt Li heard this, she came to her again.
"I'm not sure, I'll take a look first, but I really don't see anything wrong."
Zhu Xiaozhou listened to their descriptions and felt that it was very problematic.
But she turned around here and outside several times, and she didn't see anything unclean.
Isn't that strange?
"Is there anything you can do to give it a try? What if the dirty stuff just hides during the day, but at night it comes out and harms people? Why don't you come back in the evening? They could definitely see something at night, and they saw it at night several times. ”
