Chapter 78: The Gloomy Old Mansion

Jiang Huan unconsciously let out an "ah" when he heard Xiao Er's words, and Ah Xiu was also very puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Then what happened later?"

Xiao Er said in a low voice: "As a result, the next day, the old housekeeper of the Du family came back and looked for someone to show the house, but you think, if something happens, no matter how much money is given, no one will go." After that, the news spread, and now everyone is afraid when it comes to the old house of the Du family on Xiaoyang Street, and some people say that it may be haunted there. ”

Jiang Huan asked thoughtfully: "If such a big thing happens, won't the government send someone to investigate?"

"Of course, I checked, the county sent people to check several times, and I also examined the body, but nothing was found, and finally it was gone. Xiao Er replied.

Ah Xiu nodded, and just as he was about to ask again, the innkeeper walked out of the back hall and shouted to Xiao Er: "Hey, third son, don't be lazy, come and help me do some work." ”

Xiao Er agreed, smiled at a few people and went over, Jiang Huan glanced at Ah Xiu and asked, "Lin Xiu, do you say that there are really ghosts in this world?"

Ah Xiu shook his head: "I don't know, but if everyone dies and becomes a ghost, how many people have died over the years, then there are more ghosts than people." ”

After Meng Xiyao ate this meal, Jiang Huan took her back to the room to rest, Ah Xiu lay on the bed alone, tossing and turning, his mind was full of the words that Xiao Er said tonight, seeing that it had passed the third watch, Ah Xiu had no sleep, so he simply got up and put on his clothes, pushed open the window and jumped out, planning to go to the Du family's old mansion to have a look. Although he doesn't want to do much, he really can't control his curiosity, and he always itches in his heart if he doesn't find out.

Ah Xiu didn't know the location of the exclusive old house, and wanted this person to ask, who expected that there was no one on the street at this time, at this time, there was a sound of beating people in the distance, he was happy, and ran over with the sound, and saw a man in cloth holding a gong in his hand walking towards him. Ah Xiu stepped forward a few steps forward to stop the man and asked, "This big brother, let me ask you something." ”

The husband was startled by Ah Xiu who suddenly appeared, and almost threw away the guy in his hand, and when he saw Ah Xiu's face clearly, he patted his chest and said, "Oh, I said, you scared me to death, why are you still on the street at such a late hour?"

Ah Xiu clenched his fists and smiled, and said, "Big brother, I want to ask you about a place." ”

"Yes, you ask. The husband replied.

"This, how to get to the old house of the Du family on Xiaoyang Street. ”

"What? where are you going?" The husband's body was obviously shocked when he heard the words of the exclusive old mansion, he stared at Ah Xiu with wide eyes, and said, "I said that you are not crazy, no one else can hide in that place, and you are still in a hurry to go?"

Seeing that the husband said this, Ah Xiu's curiosity was even greater, so he hurriedly took out a small ingot of silver in his arms and stuffed it into the husband's hand, and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid, just tell me." ”

When the husband saw the money, his expression was obviously happy, and he said to Ah Xiu with great concern: "This brother, I see that you are also a warm-hearted person, I can tell you the place, but you must be careful, there is evil, I don't dare to go from there at night." At that moment, he told the address of Xiaoyang Street, and looking at Ah Xiu's figure running away, he sighed and said to himself: "Hey, I can't figure it out and have something happen again tonight." ”

Ah Xiu followed the direction pointed by the husband, and sure enough, he quickly found Xiaoyang Street, in the middle of Xiaoyang Street, there was obviously a big house, the door looked a little old, and there was not even a sign, but it was still a few grades higher than the surrounding buildings.

It must be this, Ah Xiu said secretly, he didn't hesitate, he flew over the courtyard wall, and saw that there was a two-story courtyard inside, and there were more than a dozen large and small rooms, all of which were dark.

He moved along the corner of the wall, found the largest room in the middle, stepped forward and pushed the door, the door "creaked" open, Ah Xiu slowed down and leaned in, he didn't know if there was someone in the old mansion, he didn't dare to light the fire, but called the nightmare, hugged it with his sleeve, and only exposed a little for lighting.

Ah Xiu took advantage of the faint light to check around the room, and saw that there was not much furniture in this room, just some tables and chairs, only a Taishi chair was placed against the wall in the middle, which was blown by the light wind blowing in from outside the door and shook slightly.

There was a lot of dust in the room, and it was clear that no one had cleaned it for a while. Ah Xiu walked out of this room, gently closed the door, and went around into the backyard, this backyard is relatively small, the root of the wall is already overgrown with weeds, the moonlight shines, the door of the middle room is black and hollow, indescribably weird, Ah Xiu frowned slightly, and he couldn't say why, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

Ah Xiu hesitated, but still stepped into this room, which was even more dilapidated, there were a lot of cobwebs woven on the beams and corners, and there were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls, some of which were already broken, these were nothing, what made Ah Xiu feel unbelievable was that there was a coffin in the corner of the room.

Why did you put a coffin here? I don't know if there is no one in this house anymore? Ah Xiu was puzzled, and when he walked to the side of the coffin, he saw that there was only a thin layer of dust on the cold coffin, which had obviously only been placed here for a short time.

At this time, another gust of wind blew in, and a painting that was still hanging on the wall with only one corner left fell to the ground with a "bang". But Ah Xiu always felt that something was wrong, as if someone was secretly watching him, and with a murderous intention.

Ah Xiu waited for a long time and didn't see any movement, then he breathed a sigh of relief, he recalled the nightmare, and then looked around, and saw a few small plates on the table against the wall, with pastries and fruits on them, Ah Xiu gently picked up a fruit, put it under his nose and smelled it, it was still fresh. It seems that someone must have been in this room recently, and there is a good chance that it is the old housekeeper.

There was nothing left and right to find, Ah Xiu walked to the coffin again, thinking about whether to open the coffin to see, just as he hesitated, the afterglow swept to the window not far away, and saw a figure clearly printed on the window paper.

Ah Xiu was shocked, sure enough, someone was peeping at him, he didn't hesitate, tiptoed, and rushed to the window, intending to subdue this person. The man outside the window sensed Ah Xiu's murderous aura and knew that he was exposed, so he turned around and ran. When Ah Xiu broke out of the window, he saw a figure heading towards the west, Ah Xiu snorted coldly, accelerated under his feet, and chased all the way.

Because it was dark and the man was far away from him, it was difficult for Ah Xiu to see this person even though he had excellent eyesight, so he could only chase after him with all his heart, but to see who this person was and what his purpose was.

To Ah Xiu's surprise, that person's light skills were also extremely high, and Ah Xiu tried his best to chase after more than ten miles, but he could only get a little closer to this person.

Now, the two of them have left Lanjiang Town and come to a small forest, in a relatively empty place in the forest, the man stopped, as if waiting for Ah Xiu, and when Ah Xiu arrived, he took a closer look, only to find that the person in front of him was actually a monk.
