Chapter Seventy-Seven: Scared to Death
After Du Ruo heard this, he looked frightened and did not speak.
Seeing this, Boss Tong didn't feel strange, and hurriedly persuaded her: "So, the two of you are curious about the murderous house, listen to me here, just listen to a story, forget it!"
That house is really fierce, and the two of you can't go!
Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you why those of us in the neighborhood moved away if we could, because the house was so evil.
We used to live around, but because we were afraid, we didn't dare to go out casually at night, let alone go out of the gate, and even in the yard we couldn't go.
I'm not afraid of the two jokes, we were at that time, even if we wanted convenience at night, we all took the toilet and put it in the house, and after getting up in the morning, we dared to take it to the thatched house to pour it out at dawn.
I'd rather do this than go out into the courtyard at night.
It's not that we are suspicious and startled, but someone passed by the street at night and passed by the courtyard wall of the Zong's mansion, and we heard the sound of someone muttering in the courtyard.
The man was also bold, and he leaned on the wall to see what was going on, but he saw nothing, but heard the cry of a baby and the sound of a woman crying.
This frightened the man, and he fell off the wall, and ran home with a roll on the ground, and then fell ill! ”
"There is such a thing!" Du Ruo looked surprised, but quickly added, "But could it be that I heard it wrong?" When people have clumsy ears, the cats in the spring like to call at night, and the sound sounds like a baby crying, and it is indeed strange and scary to hear it! ”
"Nope! No, no, no! Boss Tong waved his hand hurriedly, "It's not a cat in the spring!" If it were a few kittens, there really would be nothing to fear.
But that's really not the case with that family's house!
When the man heard the voice, he went back and became sick with fright, and the news was spread, and some people did not believe in evil, and happened to drink wine, which made people fearful, so they had to make a bet with someone, saying that he dared to go to the house and stay overnight, and if he came out well the next day, the person with whom he bet would have to give him a piece of silver.
That day, this person was watched by his fox friends and dog friends, and opened the back door of the sect family and swaggered in.
Early the next morning, he ran to the door of the Zong's mansion to guard, and waited for the drunk to come out, and he couldn't wait, and everyone said that the drunk was too scared at night, so he secretly ran home and went to the house to find someone.
As a result, he couldn't be found at home, so he went around in a big circle, and finally took advantage of the daytime when a group of people entered the Zong's mansion tremblingly, only to find that the drunk had died in the courtyard.
When he died, the man's eyes were wide open, and his face was hideous, as if he had been scared to death by something!
After that, no one dared to venture into the Zong family's mansion, and the neighbors were also so scared that they all moved away.
Our family moved relatively late, and I can't help but feel scared when I think about it now!
So don't take the risk! ”
"The drunkard that Boss Tong said was later inspected by the yamen?" Ye Yuanzhou asked.
Boss Tong recalled for a moment and nodded: "Naturally, I have seen it, and I said that I was either killed or scared to death." ”
"In this way, we really can't go to this murderous mansion!" Du Ruo listened and sighed with a little regret.
Ye Yuanzhou also echoed her and nodded.
"So good! So much better! If you inquire about me for a long time, and then run to the murderous house, something really happens, then I can't care about it! Boss Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, he warmly greeted the two of them, left them to eat at home, and asked Du Ruo to help him inscribe a piece of writing with a smile.
Although Du Ruo couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't have the face of Boss Tong, and the two of them stayed at Tong's house until they had lunch and drank tea, and then continued to set off.
Of course, for Boss Tong, these two distinguished guests were ready to go back to Duanshan, but in fact, Du Ruo and the others continued to rush to the county seat of Tonghe County, and entered the city before the city gate was closed, and found a restaurant to eat.
"Brother Ye, do you believe that the lack of grass on the graves of a few people in that sect family is caused by deep resentment?" The meal was almost finished, and his stomach was not so hungry, Du Ruo opened his mouth and asked Ye Yuanzhou.
Ye Yuanzhou smiled: "Ye is not talented, but he has also killed the enemy in front of the battle."
The heads of the enemy that I had cut off rolled far out of the ankle-deep grass.
If you talk about grievances, can a mere house still be able to fight in front of the battle between the two armies?
If this is the case, all the places where there have been battles should be barren and yellow sand! ”
Du Ruo nodded: "What Brother Ye said is extremely true!" I think it's better to find a place to rest tonight, and tomorrow we will also enjoy the scenery and people of Tonghe County.
Wait until it is repaired in a few days, and then go to see how powerful this mansion is? ”
"That's very good." Ye Yuanzhou also had this intention, and the two coincided.
After eating, several people found an inn in the county to live in, Ye Yuanzhou and Du Ruo each lived in one room, and Ye Long, Ye Hu and Du Zhi lived in one room.
In the evening, when they were about to go back to their rooms to rest, Du Ruo called Du Zhi over, and after muttering some advice, he took out a small money bag containing broken silver and copper coins from his sleeve and stuffed it for him.
Du straightened his eyebrows and smiled, carefully put away the money bag, and staggered back to the room to rest.
The next day, Du Zhi disappeared early in the morning, and he didn't come back for breakfast.
Ye Long said that the two of them had just changed their clothes and went out in the morning, and the two brothers thought that he was going to serve Du Ruo, but they didn't expect to leave.
Ye Yuanzhou looked at Du Ruo, and saw that Du Ruo was just concentrating on drinking porridge with a smile, so he didn't ask about it again, and the four of them went out after breakfast, and they didn't do anything serious, just to play around in the county, look here, and go there.
On the third day, it was still the same, Xiao Du Zhi went out early and returned late, and there was no trace of him during the day, and Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou still visited all kinds of shops in Tonghe County, regardless of whether they were selling fabrics and satin, or bookstores, or dim sum shops or antique jade.
Even the pawn shop, the two of them went in and looked at it with great interest, as if there was no place in this Tonghe County that they were not interested in.
