I have the ability to speak and follow the system

After arriving at the house, Lin Wu found that the room was pitch black, the door was ajar, and there was a thick layer of dust in front of the door, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.

Seeing this, Lin Wu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, it seems that the heroine hasn't come yet."

No. [-] was a little puzzled, and asked, "What is the heroine doing now?"

Lin Wu opened his mouth and said: "I probably live in the city, but I have nightmares every night. In my dream, I saw a woman in a red wedding dress hanging from a wooden frame. The wedding dress was made of paper. At first, Tao Mengyan was far away from the woman, but when she walked in, she realized that the woman was herself. Then she woke up with fright. At first she didn't pay attention to it, but as the number of nightmares increased, she I also slowly noticed, so this time she will make a special trip here to start her own story line."

After finishing speaking, Lin Wu used his spiritual power to blow away the dust on the steps in front of the door, then sat down on the steps and began to wait quietly.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps not far from the house.

The footsteps were very light, and it seemed to be a girl.

Lin Wu opened his eyes, stood up all of a sudden, looked up at the house, and pretended to be thoughtful.

Not long after, a girl came to the front of the room.

This girl's face is very delicate, with a standard oval face and big eyes, she looks like a classic oriental beauty.

A ponytail is tied on the head, which makes the whole person look a little more playful.

Wearing a white coat, a gray turtleneck sweater inside, a blue skirt on the lower body, and a black backpack on the back, he looks like he is on a trip.

The girl was a little surprised when she saw Lin Wu, and said, "Excuse me, who are you? Why are you standing at the door of my old house?"

Lin Wu looked back at the woman, frowned slightly, and said, "Are you the owner of this house?"

The girl nodded, pointed to the door, and said, "Also, why did the door open? Did you do it?"

Lin Wu shook his head solemnly, and said: "No, I just came here too, but I found this house seems very special, it gives me a strange feeling."

The girl smiled and said, "You don't mean to say that this house is haunted?"

Lin Wu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, maybe it's troublesome, maybe it's not, but since your master is back, can I go in and have a look?"

Hearing this, the girl looked Lin Wu up and down, with a hesitant expression.

Lin Wu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, I'm just interested in your house."

The girl nodded, turned around and walked towards the door, but there was an extra small white bottle in her hand.

Lin Wu also noticed this, and couldn't help feeling a little helpless, but he could also understand that after all, a girl ran into the deep mountains and old forests in the middle of the night, and in the end, she met someone who said she wanted to come into her house, let alone a girl. Even the elders will secretly guard against this situation.

After entering the room, the girl shouted: "Is anyone there?"

However, at this time, a person suddenly walked outside the door.

This man was wearing an old-fashioned black Chinese tunic suit, and he looked like a middle-aged man. He looked a little wretched, with no hair on his head, and he looked even less like a good person.

The middle-aged man came to the door and said, "You are Meng Yan from the Tao family, right? You have finally returned to the village, but this little brother is..."

Lin Wu smiled slightly and said, "This must be the village chief, right? It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Lin Wu, and I'm just a passing traveler."

The middle-aged man nodded suspiciously.

The girl on the side also looked suspicious, thinking: What's the situation, I moved out very early, how could I be recognized?Also, what happened to the man in black?How did he know that this person was the village chief?

At this time, the middle-aged man's expression changed, and he said with a smile: "You two must not have dinner yet, right? I'll go and make dinner for you."

Hearing this, Lin Wu smiled slightly. He already knew what the middle-aged man wanted to do next, but he didn't intend to stop him.

The middle-aged man rushed out with a stride, then locked the door and put the latch on it.

Then I heard the middle-aged man shouting while running: "The paper bride is back, hurry up and prepare the wedding banquet. Keep the door and don't let her run away!"

The girl was taken aback for a moment, but when she realized it, she shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Why did you lock the door? Open the door!"

But Lin Wu shook his head and said: "It's useless, the plug is outside, it feels like it was done deliberately, just to imprison someone."

Hearing this, the girl also noticed this, turned her head to look at Lin Wu, and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Lin Wu said: "Let's turn on the light first, since it is your old house, you should know the switch of the light?"

The girl nodded, walked to a wall in the dark, and stretched out her hand to pull the light cord.

The overhead chandelier flickered a few times and turned on.

With the light, the girl secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Wu glanced around and found that although the furniture in the room was old, it was spotless, as if someone often came to clean it.

There is an iron door in the corner of the room, there is a broom next to the door, and there is a hanging rack next to the broom with a bamboo basket and an old-fashioned kettle hanging on it.

Pasted on the shelf was a picture of a woman in ancient costume pointing at the moon in the sky.

On the other side of the door is an old TV, covered with a red cloth.

Below the TV was a cabinet with three drawers, the top drawer was missing, leaving only a square hole.

And a lock is hung on the second drawer, and there are four patterns on the lock, namely: telescope, women's shoes, butterfly, and umbrella.

There are also four knobs under the four patterns, which seem to correspond to secrets.

And there was nothing on the bottom drawer of the cabinet, not even a handle.

Next to the TV was a dressing table with a mirror on it, but it was covered by a red cloth.

On the countertop, there are some large and small bottles and cans, a kettle on the left, and a white ceramic teacup on the right.

The cabinets on both sides of the dressing table are also locked by two big locks, and there is a graffiti on the left cabinet door, which roughly means: a woman in red is hanging on a wooden shelf next to a big tree, at the foot of the big tree There is a statue with a crescent moon above the tree.

However, numbers are marked next to these graffiti. The woman in red is 1, the big tree is 2, the crescent moon is 3, and the statue is 4.

There is also a large lock hanging on the cabinet, with some patterns on it, which seem to correspond to the patterns on the graffiti.

Seeing the graffiti, the girl was a little surprised, and murmured: "Why is this graffiti exactly like in my dream? Did I draw it when I was a child? It doesn't look like it at all."

There are only a few pieces of paper waiting for me on the right cabinet door, it seems that the original pattern has been torn off.

Behind the dressing table is a window, and people's figures flash past the window from time to time.

Opposite the dressing-table was a table, covered with a white cloth, with a candle on it, and benches on each side of the table.

There is also a wooden door on the wall next to the iron door, and there is also a light inside.

Lin Wu stepped into the door.

Behind the door is a room similar to a kitchen. Opposite the wooden door is a stove. Next to the stove is another broom. In front of the broom is a small bench with an iron basin filled with water. A book is soaked in the water.

There is a picture on the wall behind the stove, which shows two kitchen gods, a man and a woman.

There are four sentences written below the picture: Grandpa the Kitchen God likes candied melons, and Grandma the Kitchen God likes jujube cakes.If you forget to worship the gods, the fire will go out and there will be no smoke.

There is also a small altar under the picture, on which there are two incense burners, but no incense is inserted inside.

There is a plate in front of each incense burner, which seems to be used to hold offerings.

A small piece of red cloth was spread in the middle of the altar, and on the red cloth was a thing wrapped in oiled paper.

Next to the stove is a large cupboard, on which are various bottles and jars of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

There are two drawers under the cupboard. The left drawer is normal, but there are four slide rails on the right drawer, and there are four round sliders on the slide rails. The sliders are painted with more abstract patterns.

There is also a cabinet door under the drawer, but the cabinet door is covered with newspapers, and a piece of talisman paper is pasted in the center.

In front of the cupboard is a wooden ladder covered with a white cloth, and a bamboo basket is placed on the top.

Lin Wu directly took down the bamboo basket on the ladder, which was full of coal.

So, Lin Wu silently picked up a piece, and shouted to the girl in the living room: "Do you have any other exits from your house?"

The girl walked into the kitchen and said, "My memory of the old house is very vague. If you ask me now, I don't know."

Lin Wu sighed and said, "Well, we are in trouble together, right? Don't you know the girl's name?"

The girl snorted and said, "Slick tongue, before asking someone else's name, shouldn't you give your name first?"

Hearing this, Lin Wu scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Hehehe, I forgot, let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Wu, and I am a passing traveler."

The girl smiled slightly and said, "Tao Mengyan."

Lin Wu nodded and said, "Miss Mengyan, I have a bold idea now, I wonder if you dare?"

Tao Mengyan was a little surprised and said, "What idea? How bold is it?"

Lin Wu said: "I think the layout of your old house should have a basement, otherwise such a layout cannot be established, so I want to go to the basement to see where the door of the basement is?"

Hearing this, Tao Mengyan walked to the side of the ladder with some suspicion, stretched out her hand to move the ladder away, and said, "There is another door here?"

Lin Wu took two steps forward, pretending to be surprised and said, "Where does this door lead to?"

Tao Mengyan shook the big lock on the door, and said: "As far as I remember, this door has never been opened, so I don't know what's inside. And I can't get in without a key."

Lin Wu shook his head helplessly, and said: "Just now I saw that there are locks in several places. According to the reaction of the village chief, he should be waiting for you, but judging from the layout of this room, now I Two possibilities came to mind: Either someone is helping you secretly, and the clues that are useful to you are locked, and the password should be in the room, or the village chief locked those things up to cover up something. But No matter which possibility it is now, it is certain that the village head will be against you."

Tao Mengyan nodded, and said: "I heard you say that, I also think so, but the village chief seems to have mentioned paper brides, this word is very familiar to me, I feel like I have heard it somewhere, but I don't seem to remember the details Where have you heard it?"

Lin Wu took out the soaked book from the water basin, and said: "Maybe all the puzzles will be solved in the basement, but now I think I should look at what is recorded in this notebook. Tsk tsk, it's all soaked, no You can’t even watch it if you bake it.”

After speaking, Lin Wu put the coal in his hand in the stove.

Tao Mengyan turned around and returned to the living room very cooperatively, ready to take off the candles on the table.

But she found that the candle seemed to be firmly fixed on the table, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't take it off.

So, Tao Mengyan said: "Lin Wu, come and help me."

Lin Wu sighed, he could guess what Tao Mengyan was doing in the living room.

Stepping into the living room, Lin Wu said helplessly: "If you can't take it off, don't take it off. Maybe you can find other firelighters."

With that said, Lin Wu walked to the dressing table, knelt down and looked at the graffiti on the cabinet door.
