I could hear the neighing of horses in the trees on the left, and I knew that the dozen or so horsemen were there. Xiao Yu'er thought to herself: "I don't know what the origin of this group of people is. But if he wanted to join forces with Xiao Yazi, there were dozens of ordinary martial artists who didn't care about it, and they tread water to find a way, and walked towards the forest with one foot high and one foot low.
As soon as I arrived in the forest, it was even darker, and I could only hear a knock on the door in front of me, and sure enough, there was a house. Then they heard a knock on the door, but when they didn't open it, the three of them came near, and saw a large dark room.
The horsemen shouted, "Open the door, open the door!" Take shelter from the rain! "I screamed for a while, but there was no movement in the house.
One said: "No one lives!" ”
Another said: "Li Laosan said it was a haunted house, who would dare to come and live there?" Jump into the wall! The white light flickered, and the two men drew their blades, jumped into the wall, opened the gate, and the crowd rushed in.
Xiao Yu'er thought to herself: "These people are in the martial arts, and it seems that their martial arts are not very high." The three followed.
Inside the gate is a large patio, and then there is a hall. Someone took out the oil bag from his side, untied it, took out the fire knife and flint, lit the fire, and when he saw that there was a candle on the table in the hall, he went to light it. The light suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and they were all relieved, seeing that the tables and chairs with rosewood on the hall were actually the style of the households.
Xiao Yu'er muttered in her heart: "There is no ash on the tables and chairs, and the underground is so clean, how can there be no one in the house?" ”
I only heard a man say: "This hall is clean, and there are people living in the house." ”
Another shouted, "Hey, hey, is there anyone in the house?" Is there anyone in the house? The hall was tall and large, and he shouted so loudly that there was a faint echo.
As soon as the echo stopped, there was no sound except the sound of heavy rain. Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt quite strange.
A white man asked Xiao Yu'er, "Are you all friends in the rivers and lakes?" ”
Xiao Yu'er said: "My surname is Zhang." These two are my friends, and I was supposed to go to Duanzhou and didn't want to encounter this heavy rain. What is the surname of the official? ”
The old man nodded, and when he saw the three of them, he was not suspicious, but he did not answer his question, and said, "This house is a bit strange. ”
Another man shouted, "Is there anyone in the house?" Are they all dead? "There was a pause. Still no one answered.
The old man sat on a chair and pointed to the six men, "You six go to the back and take a look!" The six men drew their swords and walked backwards. The six of them bowed slightly, walked very slowly, and looked quite frightened. I could hear the sound of kicking the door, and the sound of shouting and questioning kept coming. There was nothing out of the ordinary, the sound was getting farther and farther away, and the room was so large that there was no end to it.
The old man pointed to the other four and said, "Get some firewood and light some torches, and go and see." The four men were ordered to go.
The three of them sat on the threshold of the long window in the hall, and no one spoke. He saw ten of the group coming to the rear, and eight of them in the hall. Wearing cloth robes, they look like gangs of gangs, and they seem to be darts in the dart game, but they don't bet on darts, and they can't figure out their way for a while.
Listening only to the sound of footsteps, the six men who had gone to the back to inspect first returned to the hall, their faces were very strange, and they said nonchalantly: "There is no one." But everywhere is cleaned. "There are futons □ on the bed, and there are shoes under the bed, all of which are girls'."
"The closet is full of women's clothes, but there are no men's clothes!"
Hou Ying shouted loudly: "Female ghost! A room full of female ghosts! ”
Everyone turned their heads to look at him, and for a moment, no one was silent.
Suddenly, the four people behind him screamed, and the old man jumped up. Just as they were about to rush to the back to answer, the four men had already rushed into the hall, and the torches in their hands were extinguished, and they cried, "Dead man." There are so many dead people! There was a look of horror on his face.
The old man said with a calm face: "What a fuss, I still said that I met an enemy." What's so terrible about a dead man? ”
A man said, "It's not terrible, it's ...... It's weird. ”
The old man said, "What is strange? ”
Another man said, "There is a room on the east side that is ...... They are all dead people's mourning halls, and I don't know how many there are. ”
The old man muttered, "Are there dead people and coffins?" ”
The two men glanced at each other and said in unison: "No...... I didn't see it clearly, it doesn't seem to be. ”
The old man said, "Order a few more torches, and everyone will see." Maybe it's an ancestral hall, and that hole is very usual. Although he said it lightly, there was also a great hesitation in his tone, as if he knew that the ancestral hall was not like this.
His men dismantled the tables and chairs in the hall, lit torches, and rushed to the backyard.
Xiao Yu'er said: "I'll go and see, you stay here." He followed the crowd and walked in.
Hou Ying asked, "Little Yazi, what kind of road are these people?" ”
Xiao Yazi shook his head and said: "I can't see it, listening to the accent, it seems to be a person from the southern part of Guangdong, not like a person from the imperial court." Could it be a private tyrant? But I didn't see the goods. ”
After a long while, footsteps were heard, and the group returned to the hall. Hou Ying let out a long breath, and her heart was slightly wider. Xiao Yu'er said in a low voice: "In seven or eight rooms, there are a total of about thirty mourning halls, and each mourning hall has five or six for it. Seven or eight tablets, it seems that each mourning hall is dedicated to a dead person. ”
One of them said, "Hehe, aren't there hundreds of evil spirits in this room?" Xiao Yu'er shook his head, he was well-informed, but he had never heard such a strange thing, and after a while, he said slowly: "The strangest thing is that candles are lit in front of the mourning hall. Hou Ying exclaimed.
One of the men said, "When we went in earlier, the candles were obviously not lit. ”
The old man said, "Are you not mistaken? "Four men, look at me, I look at you, they all shook their heads.
The old man said, "It's not that there are ghosts, we met a master." In an instant, the candles in more than 30 mourning halls were lit, and this skill was really agile. Old man Xu, do you say that? The last sentence is addressed to the little fish. Xiao Yu'er pretended to be demented and said, "I'm afraid we've collided with the owner of the house, don't ...... You might as well go to the mourning hall and kowtow...... Kowtow a few times. ”
In the midst of the rain, a few women's cries suddenly came from the east house, and the sound was very poignant, although the rain was gradually draining, these cries were heard clearly. Hou Ying only opened his tongue in fright, and his face changed greatly.
Everyone looked at each other, all of them in horror. After a while, the voice of a woman crying was heard again in the west room. Liu Yizhou, Ao Biao and the two men shouted in unison: "Ghost cry! ”
The old man snorted, and suddenly said loudly: "We passed by your place, came here to shelter from the rain, trespassed into the treasure house, I hereby thank you, can you give it to you?" These words were full of air and sent out far away. After a long time, there was no movement.
The old man shook his head and said loudly, "Since the master here is unwilling to receive the laity, we can't disturb the fleas without permission. took shelter from the rain in the hall, and when the rain stopped, everyone did their best. He made a gesture and ordered the people not to speak, but listened attentively, and after a long time they heard no more weeping.
A man said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhao, whether he is a human or a ghost, wait for the dawn and a fire, and burn this haunted house into a white ground for a good mother." ”
The old man shook his hand and said, "We haven't done anything important yet, so we can't make another difference." Sit back and relax! And when they were all drenched, they kindled a fire in the hall. Someone took out a wine gourd, unplugged it, and handed it to the old man to drink.
The old man drank a few sips of wine, squinted at Xiao Yu'er for a long time, and said, "Brother Xiao Zhang, do you sound like a person from the capital?" ”
Xiao Yu'er smiled: "The old man has a good ear, and it is really the old rivers and lakes." I am indeed from Beijing. It's here to do business. Said and pointed to Xiao Yazi: "They are locals." I made a deal of business with them, but I encountered this heavy rain. Then he said to the two of them: "I told you a long time ago, you must say goodbye to the king, you two are enthusiastic, ten miles long pavilion after pavilion, and the result is heavy rain." Now the two of them have a home and can't go back. ”
"yes, yes." Hou Ying and Xiao Yazi couldn't stop nodding.
