I looked at Qin Yiheng, and suddenly came up with a thought, did he bring me here because he already knew that the ancestral hall of Wan Jinrong's family was here? In this way, did he bring me to find Wan Jinrong's "address book"? If my guess is right, then why does Qin Yiheng keep hiding the truth from me? And what information is in that "address book" that he must find it? And if my guess is wrong, it doesn't make any sense. This is not a profitable business, so why did he insist on bringing me here
There were too many doubts in my head, so I paused, trying to organize my words and ask Qin Yiheng what was going on. Before I could open my mouth, he said first, I know you are full of question marks now, but it is inconvenient for me to tell you here right now. After finishing speaking, he gestured with the flashlight and said, I noticed just now that there are still rooms inside, we should at least have seen them before making any plans.
After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the inner room. The room we are in now should be the center of the entire ancestral hall, because judging from its size, it should already occupy a large part of the entire building. I took a photo with my flashlight, and there was indeed a door by the wall. I thought about it in my mind. Anyway, there are not many places left to be explored. Let’s listen to Qin Yiheng first. It’s really not the time for me to get to the bottom of it. , just behind him.
Qin Yiheng was still very careful when opening the door this time, and I also had a long memory, so I paid special attention to my feet. The two entered the room, looked around with a flashlight, and found that it was a long and thin room. There is nothing in the room, it looks like a corridor at first glance, but when the light is shone in the distance, only the wall and three small round windows are left. Qin Yiheng looked around, but he didn't seem to find anything. I became more courageous, and went straight to the farthest wall, wondering what it was like outside the window. Because of the line of sight, I didn't notice it from a distance, but when I got closer, I realized that the opening of these three windows was a bit strange. First of all, the windows were opened very low, just at the position of my waist, and I wanted to look at Outside, people have to squat down; secondly, it is only after a closer look that there is no glass on the windows, and I don't know if they have not been installed in time or they are designed like this. Anyway, I was too lazy to study architectural aesthetics, so I squatted down and looked out curiously after thinking about it for a while, but the result was very disappointing, the outside was darker than the house. I took a flashlight and could barely see the tree trunks in the woods. This wall was already the outer wall of the whole building.
I stood up and thought what the hell is going on, there are three holes in here, and it's so low that if it rains, the rain will soak in. I used my body to draw the position again. Could it be that this is for people to defecate? Urinate directly from the house to the outside? But is it so troublesome to fix a toilet? Everyone in this family likes performance art? The more I thought about it, the more curious I became. Looking back, Qin Yiheng was still looking at the wall with a flashlight. I pondered for a while, then squatted down and wanted to poke my head out to have a look.
The size of the hole is no problem for people to climb out, so I squatted down and stuck my head out against the wall. It was still pitch black outside, I turned my head to see if there was anything special outside the wall, but when I turned my head, I saw someone crouching under the wall with his head up and his eyes staring Look at me. The four eyes met, and I was almost scared to death. I said "ah" and immediately wanted to pull my head back. It was a big hole, but I was so flustered that my head hit the edge of the hole instead. This knocked my eyes black for a while. Fortunately, Qin Yiheng heard my cry, grabbed my clothes from behind, and dragged me back. When I got back to the house, I was paralyzed on the ground and gasping for breath. I wanted to tell him that there was someone outside the wall, but I couldn't say anything after trembling for a long time, so I could only show him with my fingers.
Qin Yiheng couldn't explain it when he saw me. He probably thought I was bewitched by an evil spirit, so he quickly told me to take out a stick and stick himself. I waved my hand, and finally I was able to speak, there are people outside! He was also shocked when he heard it. He pulled me up with both hands, retreated to the door, and asked me, did you see what kind of person it was
At that time, I was so worried and scared, how could I remember what kind of person I was, so I could only shake my head and ask Qin Yiheng, what is this person doing lying there in the middle of the night? As soon as I asked the question, I realized it. Could it be that this person broke the situation of the town house? He came in first, and when he heard us, he got out of the hole and hid outside the wall? In this case, I was really lucky just now, I just stuck my head out and waited for someone to slaughter me. However, that person didn't attack me. Could it be that he didn't intend to harm us, or he didn't expect me to poke my head out just now, so he didn't prepare for it, so he didn't have time to attack me
Anyway, no matter what, it is already a big problem for this person to appear here at such a time.
Qin Yiheng shook his head when he heard what I said, made a "shh" gesture with his hand, and told me to try not to talk and turn off the light, otherwise it would be too easy for people outside to attack us. I had to do so, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness again. Qin Yiheng pulled the corner of my clothes a few times with his hands, which seemed to mean to signal me to follow him. Unfortunately, it was too dark, and I was afraid that I would get separated from him, so I had to grab his backpack strap with my hand, followed him slowly out the door, and returned to the ancestral hall.
When we walked to the corner, Qin Yiheng told me in a low voice that we can't turn on the flashlight yet, and we try not to reveal our location. I thought about it just now, those three holes should be venting eyes in Fengshui, which are used to vent the evil spirits of the three evil spirits of disaster, year and robbery. As for that person, no matter who it is, we have to be careful. On the wall of that room, I saw a lot of numbers written on the wall with a pen. The handwriting is very new, and it is very likely that it was left by that person. It seems that they are calculating some values. I have not figured out whether it is What's the meaning. There are too many weird places in this house, I will go to see other side houses. But the current situation can't take you there, you wait here, I will come back to you after I finish watching.
After speaking, he turned and left. At first I could feel him moving on tiptoe, but after a while I couldn't feel him at all. I leaned against the corner, and suddenly started to feel inexplicably afraid. After all, there are so many spirit tablets in this room, and Qin Yiheng is not around, this kind of atmosphere is indeed a bit scary. I tried to calm down as much as possible, comforting myself that the storm and the waves are over, it's nothing serious, but my heart still beats fast. I wanted to smoke a cigarette, but I was afraid of revealing my position, so I just endured it. After a while, I don't know exactly how long it took, but I heard a faint sound like metal rubbing coming from somewhere in the house, and it sounded like iron chains dragging. movement on the ground.
I pricked up my ears to figure out what was going on, but I couldn't hear it very clearly. However, even though the movement was very small, it still scared me enough under such circumstances, and my spine felt a little chilly. Fortunately, after a while, the voice disappeared, and then I felt that Qin Yiheng came back on tiptoe, slowly approached me, and patted me lightly.
Although I couldn't see it, I could still feel that he turned around and continued to tiptoe out after he finished taking pictures of me. When I saw this, I knew he was asking me to go out with him, so I followed carefully. This house has no windows at all, and it was too dark in the room. I was afraid that I would bump into the spirit position by mistake while walking, so I reached out and tried to grab his backpack strap. However, after I stretched out my hand, my scalp immediately felt numb, because I didn't touch the backpack strap I imagined, but directly touched the back of this person—this person is not Qin Yiheng!
At this moment, I was completely panicked, and I instinctively took two steps back, not caring about whether the movement made any noise, so I wanted to pick up the flashlight to defend myself. The flashlight we bought is more than 30 centimeters long, and it is quite heavy in the hand. Although it is not handy, it is still okay for a guy to use. I stepped back again, trying to keep a relatively safe distance between myself and the other party. Then, I directly turned on the flashlight and took a photo at that person, thinking to myself, fuck it, I have to show me who you are even if I hit it. However, after the light was turned on, I was stunned. This is obviously Qin Yiheng! But where is his bag
When Qin Yiheng saw that I turned on the flashlight, he immediately became nervous, and quickly told me to turn off the flashlight with gestures, saying that he had just discovered a room and had to take me to have a look. His voice was very soft, and I was a little dazed, and didn't react. Seeing this, he snatched the flashlight from my hand and turned it off, then grabbed my arm and told me to follow him.
We walked out of the ancestral hall and went straight back to the courtyard. The moonlight outside has been blocked, and the visibility is not good, but it is still much better than the dark lights in the house. Qin Yiheng led me to the left side of the yard, and then I saw that there was a small iron door with three finger-thick iron chains fastened on it, fastened together by a metal lock. Could it be that I heard it just now? Is the sound coming from here? I was in awe of Qin Yiheng immediately, I didn't expect him to have the ability to pick locks. Who knew that he turned over in three steps and two steps, and told me not to be dazed and follow quickly. I dare say that I overestimated him, so I also took off the bag, threw it over first, and then turned it over.
After going through this door, there should be a small corridor here, but it is not transparent. The corridor is sandwiched by a wall that is more than one person high, and walking in it is like walking indoors. I walked with Qin Yiheng for a while, and we had almost reached the back of the house, and Qin Yiheng stopped. At this time, another door appeared in front of us.
Is there another house here? Depending on the situation, it is not connected to the house inside. Qin Yiheng rummaged through his pocket for a while, stuffed something into my hand, told me to keep it in my mouth, then reminded me to hold the wooden stick, and walked in first. I opened my hand and looked at it, and I couldn't help but gag, it's still a fucking ball of sheep dung. To be honest, the taste was really unbearable, but Qin Yiheng was doing it for my own good, so I had no choice but to endure the nausea and put it in my mouth to follow.
At first, I thought the room should still be pitch black, but I didn’t expect Qin Yiheng to light three sticks of white wax on the ground when he came in before. The visibility in the room was okay, but when the two of us came in, the fire of the candle wick swayed a little because of the air flow. Down, it makes people a little uneasy. I put down my bag and took a brief look around. This house is not big, at least much smaller than the house we were in before. It is only about 30 square meters. The grinding disc, it looks like it should be a few years old. Along the bottom of the stone mill, there is a long conduit cut from bamboo for water diversion, and the walls inside are covered with rainproof cloth, which seems to be some big objects.
