Chapter 4 The Old Mansion of the Di Family
My heart sank, and I silently stared at Cui Daoren, raising my vigilance.
At this moment, his sheep-eyed eyes were completely different from before. Although there is no obvious hostility, it is no longer friendly, but has a mocking and evil tone. So much so that it looks like a different person than before.
And after he turned his head, his eyes glanced at Di Jinlian from time to time, as long as a man knew the meaning of his gaze.
"What treasure?" Dou Dabao asked in amazement.
Cui Daoren stared at him for a while, then looked at me again, smiled, and said, "Don't tell me, I went to the Di family's old mansion just to visit." ”
Dou Dabao glanced at me, rolled his eyes, and said, "I saw that Cui Daochang is not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect your eyesight to be so good." ”
Cui Daoren waved his hand, and seemed to return to his previous casualness, "Gao Ming, the matter of the Di family's old mansion has long been no secret in the Outer Eight Elements, you have worked hard to come here, is it possible that you are here to travel?" ”
After saying that, he turned around and continued to walk forward like no one.
Seeing Dou Dabao looking at me again, I glanced at him and continued to walk forward.
The biggest advantage of this product is that it is thick and fine, and I know that the most important thing at the moment is to find the old house of the Di family, so I followed while chatting with Cui Daoren.
"I said Lao Cui, they all said that there is a treasure in the old house of the Di family, do you know what kind of treasure it is?" Dou Dabao asked.
Cui Daoren sneered, "Cut, what are you pretending to be with me, what are you doing here, you and I know it, if I have seen the treasure in the old house, what else can I do with you?" ”
"That's what I said, but I'm surprised, it's been so many years, why hasn't the treasure of the Di family's old mansion been dug up yet." Dou Dabao said.
Cui Daoren stuffed the hem of the Taoist robe tucked into his waist again, and subconsciously lowered his voice:
"If it was so easy to get it, I guess the two little Taoist friends wouldn't have come here. The house is very evil, I don't know how many people have the idea of beating the old house, but they only see it in, but they don't come out. ”
Dou Dabao took out a cigarette case, caught up with two steps and sent him one, "What kind of evil method is it, Brother Cui will tell us two juniors." ”
Cui Daoren lit a cigarette, took a greasy puff, spit out the cigarette and said:
"What the Di family did before, no one really knows, but there is no doubt that the Di family was on the rich side at that time. Later, I don't know why, overnight, the Di family, along with the cooks and servants, all dozens of people died violently. This was a sensational unsolved case at the time, and the National Police Agency sent special personnel to investigate it for three whole months, but there was no clue, and in the end it had to be closed. ”
Dou Dabao was surprised and said, "Dozens of people are all dead? How did he die? ”
"It's said that they were all poisoned." Cui Daoren sighed, very compassionate.
"Poisoned by the enemy?"
"Most likely, at that time, some people suspected that the Di family was doing murder and selling goods behind their backs, and it was not surprising that they were sought revenge by the enemy."
Cui Daoren said to himself that it was a turbulent time, and the Police Department didn't really bother to investigate, saying that it was an investigation, but it was better to say that it was a raid.
As long as it is valuable, it has been 'confiscated'. The rest of the matter was snuck in and taken by the nearby ruffians.
But it didn't take long for something strange to happen.
The sheriff in charge of investigating the murder of the Di family, that is, the person who was the most greedy for ink, was found hanged in the house of the fourth aunt.
Followed by one death after another, but all those who took things from the Di family, went up to the sheriff of the police station, and went down to the ruffians and lazy people on the ground, all of them were hanged.
Some people say that it was the ghosts of the Di family who took away the lives of these people.
Cui Daoren also said something particularly mysterious.
In the past, the mountains of Niluo Mountain were all pointed, and they looked like mud snails in the river.
But after the Di family died violently, it rained heavily for half a month, not only raining, but also thundering and lightning, and when the rain stopped, all the mountain peaks disappeared, becoming like a grave bag one by one.
This time, the old mansion of the Di family has become a well-known murderous mansion, and no one dares to approach that mansion anymore. Niluo Mountain has also become the dejected appearance it is today.
The people in the nearby villages, those who were able, all moved away, and the rest were either the old, weak, sick and disabled, or the lazy people who were so poor that they naturally became poorer and poorer.
Today, there is only one village left nearby.
"Such an evil house, it was not demolished after liberation?" Dou Dabao asked.
"Demolition?"
Cui Daoren turned his head, unconsciously glanced at Di Jinlian twice, glared at Dou Dabao with puffed eyes, and said:
"Do you think those grandsons who smashed and robbed in the name of breaking the four old ones didn't have the idea of beating the Di family's old house? As soon as the 'wind' blew here, dozens of people wearing red badges on their arms came, what happened? As soon as he rushed in, the porch collapsed, killing five of them on the spot. Later, I went a few more times, back to the dead! In the end, no matter how bold you are, you don't dare to go. ”
I looked at Di Jinlian, and it seemed that she had become a little gloomy since she entered the mountain, but she kept walking forward expressionlessly.
"The evil door of the Di family's old mansion is certain, and the key is that the real wealth of the Di family has not been exposed from beginning to end, but anyone who has a little Taoism can not worry about it."
Cui Daoren glanced at me as he spoke, turned around and continued to walk forward.
Dou Dabao retreated to my side and asked me in a low voice, "Do you guess what he said is true or false?" ”
I shook my head and motioned for him not to say anything more.
Turning over a mountain beam, I vaguely saw a deserted house in the mountain col.
When I got to the front, I saw that the porch of the gate had collapsed as Cui Daoren said.
As far as the eye can see, the grass is spreading, and even the roof of the house is overgrown with weeds and vines, which is very barren and dilapidated.
Cui Daoren turned his head, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I brought the place, and it is time to retire, good luck to the three of you." ”
"Aren't you going in along?" I was a little surprised.
Cui Daoren smiled and shook his head: "Although it is said that wealth is in danger, I still have an eighty-year-old mother, wife and children to support at home, but I can't fight like you young people." Bring you here, and I'll have to rush back to serve my mother." ”
As he spoke, he brought his right hand to the tip of his nose, as if touching his nose, but his thumb, index finger, and middle finger were pinched together and rubbed.
I nodded, took out my wallet, and pulled out two hundred dollars for him.
"Isn't it a little less?" Cui Daoren looked at me with a smile.
I smiled and slapped two hundred more in his hand.
Cui Daoren smiled, "Little Daoyou is really on the road, I hope you can find the treasure of the Di family, don't forget to carry me when the time comes." ”
After saying that, he walked straight to the way he came.
"Woe, don't you think this bull's nose is a little strange?" Dou Dabao rubbed his chin and asked me.
I glanced at Cui Daoren's tall back suspiciously, and subconsciously shook my head, "It's not just strange." I have a feeling that we will see him again. ”
When I turned around, I saw Di Jinlian looking at the dilapidated mansion in shock.
I said, "After all these years, the marriage certificate may not still be there." ”
Di Jinlian suddenly held her head in her hands and said bitterly: "I just want to know who he is, why can't I remember who he is?" ”
"Do you remember how you got to us?" Dou Dabao asked with a frown.
Dee Jinlian shook her head.
Dou Dabao pursed his lips, "I finally know what a fool is." ”
I looked at my watch, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and I said to hurry up and go in to find clues, and try to rush back before dark.
Skirting the collapsed masonry and into the courtyard, I walked forward for a while, and I couldn't help but frown secretly.
This mansion is not exquisite, but it covers a large area, with several entrances and exits, and dozens of rooms.
After so many years, the chances of finding a wedding letter are too slim.
I asked Dekkinlian if she remembered where her room was.
She said that she remembered the small building in the backyard.
I said let's go straight to the backyard first.
The three of them walked backwards on knee-high thatch.
Just past the front yard, the meat floss, which had been inseparable from me, suddenly barked wildly.
When it screamed, my heart fluttered.
Before, my mind was on Cui Daoren and Di Jinlian, and I didn't pay attention to the details.
Hearing the abrupt cry of the meat floss, I felt that something was very wrong with this house.
It's so quiet here.
We waded through the weeds all the way, and we didn't even see a single mosquito or fly in the grass.
Except for the rustle of weeds as the wind blew, the silence of the whole house was terrible.
Meat floss jumped into a corner and turned around to yell at me.
Dou Dabao and I glanced at each other and walked over.
Pushing aside the weeds and seeing inside the grass, my scalp exploded.
It was a large tank of water half-buried in the ground, filled with murky rainwater.
On the surface of the water tank, there is a large tuft of hair floating!
