Chapter 64: Strange Sounds
After the autumn rains, the garden began to wither, yellow to yellow, defeated, and all the flowers seemed to soon perish, as if someone had destroyed them.
They weren't as healthy as they used to be, they seemed to be tired, they were going to rest, they were packing up and going home.
The big elm tree also sheds its leaves, and when they occasionally sit under the tree, the leaves fall on their faces, and the leaves fly all over the garden.
It didn't take long for the snow to fall again and the garden was buried.
The back door, which led to the garden, was also sealed with mud, and it was sealed so thickly that hoarfrost hung all winter.
There was nowhere to go, so Mei Yuzhang and Wu Yongchang were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house to play around.
Mei Renhou's study also has a delicate foreign clock, it is very surprising, painting a big girl in ancient costume, as if alive, whenever Wu Yongchang goes to his house, if there is no one in the room, she always stare at him with her eyes, he told Mei several times, Mei Renhou said: "That's a painting, she won't stare at people." ”
Wu Yongchang must have said that she would stare at people, because he could see that her eyes seemed to be rolling.
There are also all kinds of villains carved on Mrs. May's various boxes, all of whom are dressed in ancient costumes, with wide clothes and large sleeves, and also wear tops and feathers. There were about twenty or thirty people carved all over the box, and there were people drinking, eating, and making jokes, as if they were telling some kind of story.
Wu Yongchang always wanted to take a closer look, but Mrs. Mei didn't let her get involved, and she was still far away, so she said: "Don't touch it with your hands, your hands are dirty." ”
In Mrs. May's inner room, there is a very strange and strange wall clock hanging on the wall, and under the wall clock is two ears of iron-clad rice hanging with an iron pole. The iron-wrapped rice is much larger than the real rice, and it looks very heavy, as if it can kill a person. Looking further into the wall clock is even more strange, there is a little man, with blue eyes, the pendulum rings in a second, and when the pendulum rings, the eyes turn at the same time.
The villain had yellow hair and blue eyes, and Mei Renhou told him that it was a foreigner, just like a priest.
In addition to the four rooms and a kitchen, there are two small back rooms that are extremely small and extremely dark.
There were all sorts of things, jars, jars, chests, chests, baskets, baskets. In addition to their own things, there are also things that are stored by others.
It's dark, and you have to go in with a lamp to see it. There are a lot of rats in it, and there are a lot of cobwebs. The air was not very good, and there was a pungent smell of medicine.
They thought that this storage room was a new world, and when they opened the box, there were more interesting things there, copper rings, wooden knives, and bamboo rulers. He hadn't seen them anywhere else. And the drawer is never locked. So they often open it at random, and when they open it, they search everything out, seemingly indiscriminately, holding a wooden knife in their left hand and Guanyin powder in their right hand, cutting it here and drawing it there.
Then they found a small saw, and with this small saw, they began to destroy things, sawing on the legs of the chairs and sawing on the edges of the kang.
There was an endless world of everything, and there were treasures here that he couldn't imagine, making them feel how there were so many things in the world! And it's all fun, it's all new.
The storage room seemed to have become a place for their exploration. They often open the door and go in when the adults are not in the house. The pantry also had a back window, and there was a little light in the second half of the day, so I took advantage of this light to open the drawer, which had been almost turned over, and there was nothing new.
After flipping through it for a while, I didn't think it was interesting anymore, so I came out. Later, even a piece of water glue and a section of rope were taken out, and all five drawers were emptied.
There were no other drawers and baskets and cages, but they didn't dare to move them, as if everything was a black hole, and the dust was not thick, and there were no cobwebs and silk, so they didn't even want to touch it.
Once they went to the deepest part of the dark room, as if the world had disappeared, and today suddenly came before their eyes again, and the world was frightened and regained its memory.
They always hear the faint sound of nothingness. It seemed to come from the ground, intermittently, like a child crying, and then suddenly it became a continuous and high howl, a wail, a cry, half terror, half triumphant, and only the bitter screams of the souls who had fallen into hell were mixed with the shouts of the devil to resemble this sound.
