The years of reselling the haunted house

Xu Ruoxi asked timidly, "What... what happened?"

"How the hell do I know?" After comforting Xu Ruoxi, I cursed, and was going to ask my third uncle what to do next.

The third uncle was squatting aside, frowning and thinking about something.

I walked over and asked, "Third Uncle, we..."

I just said a few words when I suddenly felt hurried footsteps behind me, and at the same time a figure rushed towards the door.

Chapter 60

The third uncle reacted first, pointed at the door and shouted: "Quickly stop this stupid woman."

I turned my head and found that Xu Ruoxi ran to the door quickly, holding the doorknob with her hand, and was about to run out.

Fuck.I cursed, and hurriedly chased after her, trying to stop her.

It must be the few harsh words I just said that frightened Xu Ruoxi, thinking that my third uncle and I were villains who took her hostage to this house with evil intentions.That's why I want to escape from here.

Moreover, Xu Ruoxi should have planned this series of actions in advance, so her actions are very quick and coherent. When we reacted, she was ready to open the door.

By the time I chased after her, she had already opened the door a crack.

As soon as the gap opened, I heard a shrill cat howling from outside.

We have all heard cat meowing, the meowing sound made by pet cats, which makes people listen to it cutely.

But cat howling, have you heard it?

Cat howls, heartbreaking cat howls.

Perhaps the ancestors of domestic cats in this city are wild cats and bobcats, and they also have bobcat blood in their bones.The howling sound that came out at this time was really like a wild beast.

I don't know which cat made this noise.Immediately afterwards, cat howls from all directions poured down like huge waves.The sound wave rushed in through the open door.

It was a terrifying howl.

Xu Ruoxi heard the bursts of howling, and she knew it was not good, so she hurriedly wanted to close the door.

But it was already late at this time, several black shadows rushed in from the outside along the crack of the door.

I rushed over, grabbed Xu Ruoxi's arm, pushed her away, and closed the door forcefully.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang on the door.

As if something had hit the door, I blocked the door desperately to prevent the door from opening wider.

But the power of those cats outside, gathered together, made me a little powerless.One after another, many cats squeezed in through the crack of the door.

The cat that came in divided into three groups and attacked the three people in the house at the same time.

I had two or three cats hanging on me, and I was scratched and scratched by them in several places.

Strangely, the two cats that were attacking Xu Ruoxi stopped attacking when they got in front of her, and turned to attack third uncle.

The third uncle held a mahogany sword and dealt with the cats, but he was not injured yet.

I know that if the door is not closed, more cats will rush in, and it seems that these cats can tear us apart.

I saw Xu Ruoxi completely stupefied in place, staring at her at a loss, and hurriedly shouted at her: "Xu Ruoxi, why don't you come and help?"

Xu Ruoxi was woken up by my yell, oh, and rushed over to help me push the door together.

Although her power is limited, with my joint efforts, she finally closed the door.As soon as the door was locked, I took out the mahogany sword in my hand and drove the two cats hanging on my body out.

Enduring the pain, I rushed over to fight side by side with my third uncle.

Now the cats in the house surrounded my third uncle and me, their eyes gleaming like a thief, and their mouths grinning.They who have already devoured human blood appear even crazier.It's just that they haven't launched an attack for the time being, and they should be accumulating power.

"Yangzi, hold on for a while." The third uncle yelled and hid behind me.

"Damn it. Third Uncle, you are really righteous." I cursed, untied the black tiger knot, and waved it desperately at the cats.

The third uncle hid behind me, not knowing what he was doing.

The cats were bluffed by me for a while, and finally they all started at the same time and rushed towards me.

"Ah..." I screamed, and saw those cats dodging the black tiger knots, and they jumped right in front of me.

At this time, suddenly a mass of black things was thrown out from behind me.

It turned out to be a net, and the net spread out in the air, covering all the cats at once.

The third uncle rushed out from behind and shouted anxiously: "Yangzi, hurry up, help me."

My third uncle and I worked together to tighten the net, and the cats in the net howled in pain.

"This cat can't be kept." As he said, the third uncle held the mahogany sword in his hand, stepped forward and stabbed the cats to death one by one.

Cat blood spurted out and spread all over the place.

I trembled in my heart, and said that although they were just a few cats, the third uncle's hands were really dark, and he was ruthless enough.

While we were busy in the house, more and more banging sounds came from the door.

The door was knocked and shook slightly, and the ash on the door was knocked down.The cat outside still had no intention of retreating, and was still banging on the door frantically.

The third uncle tidied up the rope net, handed it to me, and shouted: "Quickly, cover the door."

My third uncle and I each held a corner, stretched out the net, and covered it towards the door.

I recognized it, it was the kind of net that my third uncle threw out when he was on the second floor.

As soon as we put the net over the door, the banging stopped abruptly.

I felt relieved, it seems that this net is really effective.

Who knew that just after I settled down for a while, I heard Xu Ruoxi scream, as if I was frightened by something.

I scolded, "What are you shouting for?"

Xu Ruoxi pointed at the window, stuttering and unable to speak.

My third uncle and I looked at it in a blink of an eye, and our scalps became numb.

I saw no less than a dozen weird cat faces printed on the window.Those cats, seeing that they couldn't get in through the door, even thought of opening the window.

The third uncle cursed, pulled out another net from the bag like a trick, and we covered the window again while the cats were not attacking the window.

Through the meshes of the rope net, I could see the cats outside the window, backing away in horror.

It wasn't until he retreated two or three meters away that he yelled in a low voice towards the window.

I took a deep breath: "Third uncle, where do these cats come from outside? Are they coming for us?"

The third uncle replied angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense, we are the only ones in this room, who is it not for us? Yangzi, are you hurt?"

The few wounds on my body, where I was scratched and bitten by the cat, were bleeding, and it hurt so badly, but I could bear it.

I shook my head and said it was fine.

The third uncle nodded: "Hold on, this cat is not poisonous, it's just trauma. I'll bandage it up for you later."

This little injury is nothing to me.I waved my hand: "Small injury, it's okay. These cats came to attack us because of that cat's skin? When you were upstairs, did you realize something, I see you are so nervous?"

The third uncle nodded and said: "I don't know the exact reason here, but it's more complicated than I imagined. I thought it was just the ghosts of people here. Even if it is a ghost that has been around for hundreds of years, I am prepared. But looking at it now, Not only human ghosts, but also cat grievances. Human souls are easy to settle, but cat grievances are hard to get rid of. Sure enough, we were a step too late. The cats outside should come here in response to cat grievances. Now we guard the doors and windows, and we can survive until By dawn, they should have receded."

Chapter 61

"Cat complaint? What is cat complaint?" I asked puzzled.

"The cat's grievance, as the name suggests, is a cat's resentment. When this resentment is attached to the cat's soul, it will form a special kind of spirit. This kind of spirit may be attached to the entity, or it may be attached to some old objects. On it, it is indestructible and indestructible, and it can last for more than a thousand years."

"Then... the one in Xu Ruoxi's body just now..."

The third uncle nodded and said, "It should be the cat's complaint."

Xu Ruoxi was ignorant and asked, "What happened in my body? What happened just now?"

I gave her a blank look: "There are some things, it's better that you don't know."

Xu Ruoxi was robbed, and now she lost her old temper, and didn't dare to speak back, she just stared at me and said nothing.But seeing that my body was bleeding, she silently tore off a few rags from the cheongsam on her body, and came over to bandage my wound.

This moved me a little bit, at this moment I suddenly remembered something, and asked Xu Ruoxi, "Why didn't that cat bite you just now?"

Xu Ruoxi was also puzzled, and the third uncle explained: "I guess it's because the cat complained on her body just now, those cats came here in response to the cat complain, maybe they felt the smell of Xu Ruoxi's body."

"So that's the case. It seems that it's a good thing to be caught." I smiled bitterly, and continued to ask my third uncle: "Your net works quite well. What's the reason for this?"

Uncle San is not in good shape on weekdays.But when it comes to serious things, especially in his old profession, he is still very good.Some special instruments taken from him can often have very good results.And it still gives you the feeling that there are endless things, his bag is like a treasure bag.For these, I am very interested in learning, so every time he comes up with a new gadget, I will ask about its origin and function.

The third uncle was also very happy to tell me that on the one hand, he showed his ability, and on the other hand, he really wanted to teach me something.

At this time, the situation outside stabilized for the time being, and the cats were quite afraid of the two nets, so they retreated far away, and did not do anything special.

As for our strategy, we can only hold on for now and wait until dawn.

The third uncle also had time to let me take a closer look at the net that sealed the doors and windows. I found that the net wires on it were very thin, as if they were stained with a layer of black paint.And this net is similar to the black tiger knot, the small knot at the junction of the thread and the thread is tied in a different way.

From this point of view, forming such a net requires more work than that of the black tiger knot. It seems that the third uncle has done a lot of preparation work.

"Have you heard of the heaven and earth net?" Third Uncle asked suddenly.

I nodded, this is an idiom, of course I have heard it before.

The third uncle went on to say: "This kind of net is called an earth net. The so-called sky net and earth net are divided into sky net and earth net. The knotting method is very complicated. It should be based on the four pillars of fate, and the heavenly stems, earthly branches, yin and yang, and five elements must be included. Each knot represents a kind of fate. There are 360 ​​knots in this kind of net. , will eventually return to its place, if the soul falls into the net, the soul is invisible..."

After listening to Uncle San's introduction, I was greatly amazed.I have also seen it just now, those cats can only avoid them because of the existence of the ground net.

"So powerful? Can these cats break through this trap?"

The third uncle nodded: "It should be no problem. Although the net here is mainly used to hunt ghosts, the cat's grievance is also a kind of spirit body, and these cats come here in response to the cat's grievance, and they are also fascinated by the cat's grievance. So this net is still effective for them."

I asked the third uncle: "This is also what you learned from that book?"

The third uncle chuckled: "Learn now and sell now. The Haunted House Transcript introduced how to tie the net here, but I used ink fountain thread instead of the red string in the book. This way, the effect is doubled. How about it? Is your third uncle a genius?"

I'm used to hearing third uncle brag about himself.What shocked me was the "Haunted House Transcript". I didn't pay attention to this book at first, but now it seems that it is really a treasure.Especially for those of us who often come and go in and out of haunted houses, no wonder the third uncle said that it can be worth 50 in cash.

With the ground net, our hearts are much more at ease.While paying attention to the movement outside, I hope that the time will go faster and the dawn will be earlier.

There was no light in the house at all, it was all illuminated by the dropped flashlight and the moonlight outside the window.

Since there was no time to wait, Uncle San went over and turned off the light, and lit a few candles on the floor of the house.

I glanced at the time. After such a toss, it was midnight at this time, and there were still a few hours before dawn.

I glanced out the window, and the eyes of those cats, like will-o'-the-wisps, flickered, emitting flickering and dark green light.Not only did they not disperse, but it seemed that there were many more cats.

I couldn't stop complaining, and it was probably the hardest hours of my life.

The three of us sat on the ground, relatively speechless.At this time, I really don't know what to say.

And at this moment, there was a sudden clicking sound.

At the beginning of the sound, there was little or no sound, but the sound became louder and louder, as if it came from the bottom of the house.

At this time, our nerves were all extremely sensitive. When we heard this sound, we were shocked at the same time and jumped up from the ground.

My third uncle and I took a flashlight and took pictures around, and there was nothing unusual.

"Below. The voice is below." Xu Ruoxi suddenly called out.

I turned around and saw Xu Ruoxi laying on her stomach with her ears pressed to the floor.What she meant was that the clicking sound came from under the floor.

"Not good. They probably want to go through the underground cave, chew on the floor, and rush in." The third uncle shouted.

"This... they are not so smart, right? Besides, they are cats, not mice."

"You know what a fart. That cat's grievance has been in the world for at least a hundred years, and it has been cultivated long ago. At least it is smarter than you. That cat is the natural enemy of mice. It is very possible that the cat's grievance drives the mice to break through the ground. No way. , we can't sit still and wait for them to rush in, it will be bad."

"Then what should we do? How about rushing out?"

The third uncle shook his head: "No, there are too many cats outside. This won't work."

As soon as I heard it, I was discouraged, so can't we just sit and wait?

At this time, voices came from more and more places on the ground.I don't know if Uncle San's deduction is accurate.

Whether it's accurate or not, the sound doesn't sound right, and it's destined to be bad for us.
