At this time, the light rain outside the attic still kept falling, and the raindrops gently slapped the attic in the ancient mansion, blending with the sound of Lao Chen's dripping sweat. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Lao Ye on the side was taken aback when he saw Lao Chen's actions, and shouted loudly: "Lao Chen, what are you doing? Could it be that you have fallen into evil?"

Unexpectedly, this fast catcher Lao Ye turned out to be a muddy person, Xie Yixiang sighed secretly in her heart, but she couldn't help but be a little nervous. She immediately explained in a deep voice: "The attic we are in at the moment is divided into two floors, and we have just looked at it from the outside of this attic, and the total height is about three zhang. As for the downstairs floor, we can see clearly that it is about one zhang and five feet in height like an ordinary house, but the aisle outside the upper floor of this stairs is clearly less than the height of an ordinary person, and the houses on both sides of this aisle, although it is higher than the aisle outside, is actually less than a zhang, far less than the height of a normal house. In this way, if the height of the entire attic is estimated from the layout of the attic, it is clearly not enough to measure the number of three zhang from the outside. So where did the space that disappeared in this attic go?"

Xie Yixiang heard that old Ye was inexplicable, and before he could wake up for a while, he muttered to himself: "This...... According to Miss Xie San, where did the space that disappeared go?" Xie Yixiang said lightly: "Didn't you notice that this room is clearly a little short right now?"

The old man hurriedly looked up at the roof, and suddenly realized, and said: "What the third lady said is true, this house is really a little short, almost five or six feet shorter than ordinary houses. Well, the walkway outside this strange party was so short that I had to bend down to get through, so when I entered the room, I stood up straight, ignoring the dwarf of the room, and failed to notice such obvious things. ”

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but sneer, and said coldly: "This is the ability of the original designer of this attic. The ingenuity of this attic at the moment lies in the word 'drop' designed by the designer. The designer deliberately built the corridor outside the second floor extremely low, so that people can bend down to pass through, so that when visitors enter the rooms on both sides, because the room is much higher than the outside corridor, they will suddenly feel that the space is higher, resulting in a great sense of drop, and they will not notice that these rooms are actually shorter than normal rooms. ”

As he spoke, Xie Yixiang slowly pulled out the scabbard from his waist, turned his head to Lao Ye beside him and asked, "In this case, in your opinion, Lao Ye, where are the five or six feet missing in this attic?"

That old Ye was dazed for a while, and then he also made the same action as Lao Chen, first raised his foot and stepped on the floor a few times, and said: "The floor slab under this foot is not thick, listen to this sound, under the floor is the ground floor of the worship shrine, but there is no problem...... Speaking of this, he came to his senses and understood Lao Chen's series of actions at the moment, and in an instant, he also looked up at the roof in horror, and blurted out: "Third Miss is ...... Say there's a mezzanine on the roof of this room?"

Lao Chen next to him also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, took Lao Ye's words, and said: "If my guess is right, the mezzanine above this roof is only afraid that it is a tomb where the corpse is hidden." ”

When he said this, the three people present still gasped. You must know that the room in front of you is not high, and the dilapidated roof above you is even more within reach at this moment. Xie Yixiang was a woman after all, not tall, so she had to use the chaos in her hand to tap a few times on the roof with the tip of her knife, and muttered: "This roof is made of wooden planks, although it is a little rotten at the moment, it is still quite strong, we can start from the place where we are against the wall, and try to extract a few planks first......"

Who knew that Xie Yixiang's words had not finished speaking, when he heard a loud noise, the roof above everyone's heads suddenly cracked, and the rotten wooden planks mixed with black mud and unknown debris fell down with a "bang", smashing down the heads and faces of the three people in the house.

This change happened too suddenly, Xie Yixiang's reaction was extremely fast, and she hurriedly waved the chaos of the unsheath in her hand, and used a move of "Pingming Sending Guests" in the "Leaving the Knife", under the agitation of her knife intent, she immediately smashed the messy things on the top of her head to herself, and all of them "sent away" and stirred around, and her people also floated to the corner of the house with the momentum of Chaoli's move.

Looking at Ye Chen's two catchers, they didn't have the same kung fu as Xie Yixiang, and in the blink of an eye, they had almost been buried by a large pile of rotten wood and black mud that had collapsed, and only a small half of his body was still exposed. When all the debris above their heads was gone, both of them were full of dirty faces and looked extremely embarrassed.

However, this roof was not collapsed by Xie Yixiang's chaos, but it was the old leaf that caught fast. It turned out that just as Xie Yixiang was speaking, the old Ye couldn't help but raise his hands in horror and exert his strength to support the roof, wanting to test the hardness of these rotten wooden boards. Who knew that this attic had stood in the ancient mansion for hundreds of years, and although the stone and wood in it remained the same, it had long been decayed, how could it withstand such a force from the old leaves?

When the dust stirred up in the room finally settled, the old Ye hurriedly pulled out his feet from the rotten wood and black mud, and scolded: "It's really a hit...... Huh, what does this smell like, and how does it stink like this?"

As Lao Ye's voice fell, Xie Yixiang and Lao Chen suddenly smelled an extremely strong stench, almost stinking people to death. Fortunately, these three people are all on an errand in the public gate at the moment, and they are very familiar with this smell, so they suddenly came to their senses and said in unison: "This is clearly the smell of corpses emitted by corpses!"

Frightened, Xie Yixiang immediately made a decision, pulled himself up, jumped out of the attic from the window hole, and jumped straight into the courtyard of the ancient house. Lao Chen and Lao Ye, the two catchers, also followed, and jumped down from the attic through the window hole one after another.

Unexpectedly, there were corpses hidden in the mezzanine on the roof of this attic, and the smell of corpses was so strong that there was more than one corpse among them. At that moment, the three of them discussed in the courtyard for a while, but in a moment, their bodies were soaked with a drizzling rain, and they expected that the smell of corpses in the room had almost dissipated, Xie Yixiang even glanced at Ye and Chen, returned to the room, and carefully probed into the wreckage of the collapsed roof.
