Chapter 998 He's Dead?
"Looks like I guessed right, the old man is already on guard and knows why we're here." Ma Chengfeng poured out the fire and said that now he could only find a breakthrough according to Xiao Man's proposal.
The old house of the Zhu family is not too far from the ancient ferry port of the old village, and after turning a few quiet alleys, the majestic old mansion in front of it appears in front of them. The door of the old house was half open, which made the three of them a little uncomfortable, poked their heads into it for a long time, and saw that there was indeed no movement, so they were relieved to enter.
The ancient mansion was gloomy, and there was a strange atmosphere everywhere, and the three of them stopped and stopped, looking left and right. The moonlight overhead shone down, reflecting the mythical beasts on the roof of the old house on the ground, like ghosts.
The three of them were empty, the old mansion was too big, and the three of them shuttled through the corridor of the old mansion, always feeling that someone was spying on their whereabouts on the left and right. But on closer inspection, there is nothing in the darkness.
"It's so cold!" Xiao Man wrapped his clothes tightly.
Ma Chengfeng knew that what she felt at the moment was not that the temperature was low, but that the yin qi in the old mansion was too heavy.
"How do I get there now?" The three of them walked to the courtyard in the middle of the old mansion and had no idea, and further went should be the east courtyard, the two-story building where the rich man lived before his death. And to the west is the house where the mysterious old man lives.
"I wonder if we should go see that old thing first? If he is really a ghost who has been wronged, he will surely appear in his original form after nightfall! The reason why those zongzi chased us last night must have been instructed by him! Na Xi suggested.
Recently, the West Courtyard turned a corner, and I saw the Moon Gate of the West Courtyard in front of me, and the West Courtyard may have been owned by the Zhu family before, so it was not as spacious as the East Courtyard. The two rows of small rooms are scattered, and it is easy to touch the room where the mysterious old man lives.
"Shhhh Shhhh Ma Chengfeng gave Na Xi a look.
"Wipe ...... Me again? Na Xiao whispered.
"Isn't it who you are? Isn't that what you proposed? Go, go see! Ma Chengfeng pushed him forward and slapped him.
"Hemp eggs! Careless dating! The man muttered and walked over with his hands and feet.
If the old man was really suspicious of their identities during the day, it is estimated that the door bar must be inserted in the sleeping room at night. There was a window in the old house, but there were old curtains hanging in the window, and it was impossible to see the inside from the outside. When he walked to the door, he didn't dare to push the door, but put his head on the door and listened.
It was very quiet in the ancient village, and there was not even a trace of wind tonight. It's so quiet that you can almost hear your own heartbeat. He leaned on the door and listened for a minute, but there was no movement in it.
"Huh?" He whispered to Ma Chengfeng and the others to come over. "He may have fallen asleep, and there was no movement inside."
"No movement? Shouldn't it? Do you remember? He said during the day that he snored when he fell asleep! ”
"That might have gotten up late, right?" Na Xiu said.
Ma Chengfeng happened to be standing behind him at this time, he didn't speak, he thought about it. Suddenly, he saw that Leng Zi reached out and pushed Na Xi's back. The body that was pushed by him lost its balance and fell out towards the door in front of him.
With a thud, he pressed his weight against the door panel and pushed the door open!
"Oops! Ma Chengfeng, your uncle!!! You don't have to die well!! He cursed and got up from the ground.
But the moment he got up from the ground, the scolding stopped. The door opened, and the white moonlight shone in right inside. In front of him was a table with an incense burner on it, and when he looked up, he saw a mirror frame, and inside the frame was an old black-and-white photograph with yellowed color.
That photo turned out to be the mysterious old man they met in Zhujia Village in the past two days! The old man was full of white hair, and his face was expressionless, so he looked at Na Xiu directly!
"I ...... Nima !! The frightened screamed, stumbled to his feet, and ran backwards.
Behind him, Ma Chengfeng had already walked in and was bumped into his arms.
"Look at your little bit of interest! What's wrong? ”
"Ghost ...... Ghost...... Hell ......," he stammered.
Xiao Man turned on the flashlight and shook it at the one on the table, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Huh? How so? It's him? ”
Ma Chengfeng frowned, walked to the offering table, and rubbed it, there was a layer of dust piled up on the offering table, and it seemed that no one had come in for a long time. He picked up the posthumous photo and pulled the yellowed black-and-white photo out of the frame.
That's right, it's the old man. How can this be explained? Is he dead? If he died, who were they in the village these two days? Did you read it wrong? Is he a dead man? How could a dead man walk in direct sunlight? He has a pair of ghost pupils, but the ghost pupils don't recognize the old man as a dead man?
He slowly turned his head and called out to the two friends, but Na Xi and Xiao Man, like him, were also dazed and frightened.
"I ...... I really want to go home!! No wonder the villagers on the other side of the Yellow River didn't let us come, no wonder they had to kneel down for us before crossing the river! Dare to love this is really a ghost village! The frightened face turned pale and pale.
These three people have experienced a lot of strange things, but they have never encountered such strange things. For a while, I really didn't know what to do. Do you want to keep looking? What are they looking for? What happens when you find it?
The three of them stood still, all dumb, and no one wanted to speak first. Ma Chengfeng trembled his hands, lit a cigarette, and took a hard puff. Only then did it gradually calm down.
Call...... Call...... Call...... He gasped.
"Let's go! Let's go to the East Courtyard and take a look again! ”
"To ...... What if there is no harvest yet? The trembling asked him.
"If not, then let's give up for now. Go back and call more brothers, gather your men, and be ready to come back! "The three of them are already masters of the masters, who else do they need to call? In fact, I just want more people to be able to strengthen each other.
Don't look at this strange ancient village, there is no real threat to them for the time being, but the deterrence to their hearts is indescribable. Even Ma Chengfeng is now ready to withdraw from Zhujia Village. I really don't want to stay in this place for a minute.
The East Courtyard was once lived by the rich man Zhu decades ago, and although it is a little dilapidated now, it can still be seen that the luxury of the year.
There are too many mysteries left in the ancient village, and it is obviously unrealistic for the three of them to uncover these mysteries at once. They had only one thought in their minds, and that was to find another Eye of Amira as soon as possible, and then leave!
