Section 85 - Old houses in mountain villages
It must be admitted that in the modern society of information explosion, people's brains are so big.
Before Li Bai could find an excuse to fool his spell, Guo Wenkai actually made up for his brain with practical actions, and he could only say that people in the city really know how to play now.
Relatively speaking, Boss Deng, who opened a farmhouse in a mountain village, is more simple, but after Li Bai and Guo Wenkai stirred up, the mysterious haunted house no longer seems to be terrifying, but makes people look forward to it.
Many of the so-called haunted houses are mostly caused by some strange phenomena for unknown reasons, and once the truth is revealed, there is only a smile left after a sudden realization.
Seeing that Lao Guo and his two friends insisted repeatedly, Boss Deng had no choice but to call his buddy Xiao Sizi again and take the three of them to the deepest part of the village.
The mountain is characterized by looking at the mountain and running dead horses, sometimes it seems that it is very close, but in fact, there are more roads than imagined.
Liu Baoquan's home was on the edge of the village, which was more remote, and the four of them walked for more than ten minutes before they saw a dimly lit stone-walled courtyard on the hillside.
Along the way, Boss Deng chattered a lot about Liu Baoquan, he didn't learn well since he was a child, repeating grades, fighting, stealing things, originally the Liu family was able to live very well, because he always cleaned up the mess for this kid's trouble, and it was not enough to compensate others for a year's thrift, Liu Baoquan's wife died early, and his father became ill from hard work, and he worked hard all his life but was harmed by this unfortunate son, and finally was so angry that he left.
Daddy Liu's funeral was still handled by the village, but this unfilial son was imprisoned in the detention center by the Public Security Bureau because of the crowd gambling.
After being released from the detention center, under the supervision of the village party secretary, Liu Baoquan, who had been in charge for a period of time, saved a little money by helping the villagers, and got a support loan, ready to learn from others to run a homestay and make a lot of money.
Everyone thought that this scoundrel bastard should always repent and be a new man, no one thought that this product could not stand the temptation of having a large amount of money in his hand, and soon his true form was revealed, just like a cold bird, today to drag tomorrow, tomorrow the day after tomorrow, eat and drink all day long, until there is not much money left in his hand, then he remembers that he wants to engage in a homestay.
The village party secretary, who was angry with this unsupportable Adou, was not as good at talking as Daddy Liu, and personally warned Liu Baoquan that if he dared to harm the rest of the money, he would be driven out of the village and sent to a labor camp to be forced to work for the rest of his life, and he would not even think of dying.
At first, the bragged new homestay would definitely not be completed, and Liu Baoquan was forced to have no choice, so he had to get the old house and reluctantly build two rooms as a homestay.
In this way, in the end, he still owed a little money, but the debt fell into the hands of the village party secretary, and Liu Baoquan's good days were over.
Although the village rules and regulations are not as big as the law, the creditor's rights are protected by the law, and Liu Baoquan was forcibly pulled onto the list of the county government's old men, which is all in the hands of the village party secretary.
With the suppression of the village party secretary, the unfilial son should always learn well, but no one thought that the newly renovated old house was inexplicably haunted.
At night, there are not only strange sounds, the lights sometimes flicker on and off, and when the people who sleep in the house wake up in the morning, they will find a small drop of dried blood left at the corner of their mouth or on the pillow, and after living for several days in a row, Liu Baoquan's face is pale and in a trance, as if he has been sucked away by a vampire.
At first, I thought it was the pollution beam caused by the environmental protection grade of the decoration materials, so the village party secretary took people to almost beat the owner of the decoration company, but found people from the Environmental Protection Bureau and the construction supervisor to inspect the site together, although it was found that some materials cut corners and reduced the environmental protection level, but on the whole it was still within the qualified range, and the formaldehyde index did not exceed the standard.
As a result, Liu Baoquan's haunted house is famous in the village, not only did no tourists come to stay, but even he himself had to build a new shack nearby and no longer live in the old house.
There are countless legends of ghosts and monsters in the countryside, most of them are false, Guo Wenkai and Li Bai listened to it with relish, but they didn't take the haunting to heart at all, but it was Officer Xiao Wang, who was extremely sleepy, stumbling behind, like a walking corpse.
After professional design and decoration, the old house of the Liu family has adopted a large number of log styles, and the original ancient village house features are inside and out, and it seems to have returned to more than 100 years ago.
The air is filled with the unique fragrance of wood and the lingering smell of wood wax oil, and a few freshly lit moxa ropes are pressed with stones on the low courtyard wall, and the faint fragrance of mugwort disperses the mosquitoes and flies in early spring, and it seems that there is no eerie existence at all.
Although Liu Baoquan, the owner of the old house, is just a guy who eats, drinks and has fun, the decoration company that designed farmhouses and homestays for the whole village still put a lot of thought into it.
As soon as a thin middle-aged man in the courtyard saw Boss Deng, Guo Wenkai and others, he hurriedly greeted him and smoked.
"Hey, Alai, I've got everything packed up here, and I'm sure it's clean. ”
Finally, a guest came to the door, which means that he can earn money, Liu Baoquan's obscene face, the mouse whiskers are almost trembling and flying, he is rare to be diligent once.
"It's not necessarily that we can't live it, let's see first. ”
For this unfilial son in the same village, Boss Deng did not have a good face.
"Okay, let's take a look. ”
Perhaps forced by the village party secretary, Liu Baoquan was extremely enthusiastic, nodded and opened the door, and introduced his old house to Guo Wenkai and others.
Like most of the old houses in the village, the house is heirloom real estate, the quality is absolutely nothing to say, the ancestors used tung oil mixed with loess to tamp the earth wall without a single brick, without a single steel bar, even after decades of wind and rain, most of the wall is still intact, not even a single weed has grown.
However, the beams and roof were all stripped off, and the beams were all replaced, a large number of new tiles were paved, and the rammed earth walls were repaired, so that the old house was reborn again.
"It's all new and hasn't been occupied. ”
Liu Baoquan opened the door attentively.
The beds, tables and cabinets in the house are all fresh, and modern bathrooms are built, and the solar water heater can supply hot water at any time, and from the inside, it looks like a combination of classic and modern rooms.
"Oh, that's good, it's finally time to lie down. ”
Officer Wang finally couldn't hold it anymore, let go of the suitcase, threw himself on the nearest bed, and snored loudly.
As for whether it's a haunted house? It doesn't matter, let's have a female ghost to sleep with!
Guo Wenkai glanced at the room, knocked east and west, examined it with the eyes of an old criminal detective, and turned around and said, "Doctor Li, what do you think?"
Liu Baoquan didn't dare to squeak, mentioning the haunted house at this time is not to find a guest for himself, and he can't be scared away anymore.
"No problem, here it is!"
Since there are ready-made clean and empty guest rooms, Li Bai is not picky, he directly put his travel backpack on the chair, unzipped it, and a green shadow burst out.
"Snakes?"
Boss Deng and Liu Baoquan were startled when they saw that thing clearly.
A green snake scurried onto the TV cabinet and was about to roll out the remote control, so the demon girl didn't care if there were mortals present, and it was a big deal to erase their memories.
"It's okay, Dr. Lee's pet snake!"
It is not the first time that Guo Wenkai has seen Li Bai's green snake.
Some people like to raise cats and dogs, lizards and spiders, and even scorpions, snakes are even more common, like ball pythons, which look very big, but in fact, they are just a coward, and they are basically not very dangerous if they can be kept by people's side.
"You city people really know how to play!"
Boss Deng put his mind at ease and stopped making a fuss.
However, Liu Baoquan took a second look, the people in the city were really full, and they would actually treat it as a plaything, and he would have already given it to the stew pot, and the snake meat was extremely delicious.
"You and Xiao Wang should rest first, and if there is anything, call me. ”
Guo Wenkai made a phone call gesture and walked out the door.
"This is my business card, you can call me!"
Boss Deng left a business card for Li Bai, but he was not worried, and turned back in five steps.
"You rest first, if something is wrong, shout a line, and I will live not far from the slope. ”
Liu Baoquan happily and worriedly followed Boss Deng and Guo Wenkai out of the courtyard, leaving the old house to Li Bai and Officer Xiao Wang.
Back in front of his tin house, he looked back at the old house until all the lights were out, and after a while, he patted his trouser leg and went back to his room.
In the dead of night, insects chirped outside the house, and the lights in the hall of the old house suddenly turned on......
