The years of reselling the haunted house

The old manager turned to be very happy: "Really? It would be great if it can be solved. This... This is also a great thing for the mine. You don't know, since that incident happened, this The situation in the mine is not good. At that time, the cars were one after another, but now, as you have seen, how could there be a car pulling the mine for such a long time? As a weigher, I It’s almost like watching the gate. If this matter can be resolved, the old and young in the mine will have to thank you.”

I hurried forward and said: "Uncle Guan, don't worry, we will do our best on this matter. But we haven't figured out the situation yet, so you can't tell us about this matter. Don't let others know that we are back. "

The old Guantou slapped his chest loudly, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, you don't dare to say anything else, but you are strict with your mouth. Things that come in through my ears are considered to be in the safe, and there is no need to come out again." I said it out of my mouth."

Xu Ruoxi hurriedly asked: "Then this key..."

The old manager waved his hand: "No problem, I'll get it for you right now, you follow me."

We also followed the old man to the front of the wall. I looked around and found that on the side of the hut near the window, there was an operating console with a display screen and some buttons, which looked very old.I think that should be used when weighing.

There is a single bed and a cabinet on the other side, and the facilities are very simple.There were quilts on the bed, but they were not folded properly, and they were scattered on top of them.There were several pairs of shoes under the bed, which gave off an unpleasant smell.

The old manager went directly to the cabinet, opened it, rummaged inside for a while, took out a bunch of keys, and brought them over with a clatter.

"Here, here are the keys to your five families...including the old Sun's house. I have put a label on it. Although the old Sun's house never moved in at that time, it has been kept for them. In fact, I and Sun Xingwang is still in the same group, I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

Xu Ruoxi took the key, and the old manager over there was still muttering: "It will be great if you come here this time. It would be great if you can solve that matter. Otherwise, there will be no future for this mine. It's going to be yellow, and then my old manager will really be laid off..."

I was amused, this old manager is still concerned about his own job.No wonder I heard that we are here to solve that matter, and he is fully cooperating here.

The old supervisor may also often stay here by himself, working as both a weigher and a shifter, and no one talks to him.It was not easy for someone to come, so he just kept talking about it.

Later, Xu Ruoxi had to interrupt him and told him that we had to advance to the mining area, and we would talk to him later when we had time.

The old pipe head nodded: "Okay, I will lift the pole for you. I have been in this mine for decades. If you have anything you want to know, feel free to ask me. Now there is no one in this mine who is older than me. By the way, there is one more thing...you have to register for me and write down your names, this is a rule..."

As he said that, the old manager took a notebook from the table, which was the visitor registration.

Xu Ruoxi took a pen and wrote our names on it. The old manager pointed to the car and said, "I won't count the people in the car, just list our names."

Xu Ruoxi also wrote the names of third uncle Fatty and Xu Zhe.

After all these were done, the old pipe head pressed a switch, and the pole blocking the road rose slowly.

The old manager enthusiastically pointed us to the way to the residential building. Xu Ruoxi and I got in the car and drove into the main entrance of the mining area.

I thought to myself, with someone like Lao Guantou around, it might really save a lot of trouble.He knows the mining area and everything that happened in the mine, and we may really have to ask him in the future.

We briefly told Uncle San and Pang Dahai about the situation, and now that it was getting late, Uncle San also decided to go to Xu's house to stay and talk about it first.

Xu Ruoxi drove the car into the mining area, followed the guidance of the old manager, turned a few turns, climbed a few broken roads, and a building appeared in front of him.

I don't know if it gets dark earlier in the mountains. After we arrived here, the sun had already started to set.The afterglow of the setting sun happened to cover that building.Among other things, the scenery alone is really good.The location of this building is also well chosen, surrounded by mountains and trees, the environment is quiet, and the terrain is flat.

We drove the car directly to the front of the building, got out of the car and stopped to watch.

The building has five floors and is divided into four units.

At this time, the sky was already dark, but there were hardly any lights in this building, only a few rooms showed some light.

It seems that there are very few residents living here now.It should be that with the depression of the mining area, fewer and fewer people make a living in the mine.Why live here if you don't work in the mines.Most of them must have moved away.The few people who are still working in the mine have to live here.

Xu Ruoxi stood in front of the building and looked at it for a while, then rummaged through the keys, and said, "I'm really sorry, I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know which building door it is."

Chapter 1177 Living in Xu Residence

At this time, Xu Zhe from behind came up and said, "I still have some impressions that our family lives here."

With that said, Xu Zhe took the lead and walked towards the second building door from the left.

When he arrived at the mining area, Xu Zhe seemed to be in a much better mood. He was no longer as silent as he was in the car, and his mood was much higher.I think maybe he also saw the hope of solving the problem.

We followed Xu Zhe, and my third uncle and I were at the end, looking around from time to time.It gives me the feeling that everything here is as usual, unlike when we broke down the haunted house before, every time we went to a haunted house, there would always be a strange feeling.

Not here, it seems that this is an ordinary residential building, but because there are few people living in it, it is a little deserted.

Think about it too, we are here to break the curse, not to break the house.You can't always set up the set of broken haunted houses.

After Xu Zhe led us through the door, he went straight up to the second floor.I saw that there are two households on the second floor, which are opposite to each other.

Xu Zhe pointed to the house in the west and said, "I remember, this is my house."

I looked back at Xu Ruoxi, Xu Ruoxi looked through the keys, came to open the door, and said at the same time: "I didn't expect Ah Zhe to have such a good memory. After so long, he still remembers it so clearly."

Xu Ruoxi opened the door with the key, and a dusty smell came from the door as soon as he opened it.That's because there was no ventilation for a long time.

So we went into the room and opened every window we could see.

The fresh air outside the window entered the room, and the dusty smell disappeared in an instant.I took a closer look at the house. It is not small, with three bedrooms, plus a living and dining room, a typical structure of three bedrooms and two living rooms.

Moreover, the sofa, dining table, bed and other large pieces of furniture in this room are still in the old style, which should have been left over from that year.It can be seen that the Xu family was in a hurry when they moved out, and there was no time to take the furniture with them.

I think not only the Xu family, but also the other families are similar.Because without exception, they were all forced to move, almost as if they were fleeing.

Although there is a dusty smell in this room, and no one has lived in it for more than ten years, there is not much dust on the furniture.It seems that what the old manager said is true, not only does he keep the key to the door, but he also comes to clean it regularly.In this way, the old Guantou is still a warm-hearted person.

Among us, only Xu Zhe stayed here the longest.He pointed to these rooms and said: "Grandpa has a room, parents have a room, and I also have a room, but I slept with my grandpa at that time. Every night, my grandpa would tell me stories about the mine. Grandpa Shi, so kind and warm..."

Xu Zhe walked back and forth a few times along the house, while recalling the past, the atmosphere suddenly became a little sad.

Xu Zhe, who was originally taciturn on the road, became excited when he entered this room, as if he was a different person in the car.He walked up and down the house, and he could tell every detail of what he used to live here, and he never got tired of it, and he talked endlessly.

In the end, it was Xu Ruoxi who stopped Xu Zhe and said, "Azhe, I know you have a lot of memories here. But these things are in the past, let's not think about it, okay?"

I know that Xu Ruoxi is afraid that Xu Zhe will think too much, so he will naturally think of that curse, which has no use except to make everyone more sad.

Xu Zhe listened to his aunt very much, and quickly calmed down.But his eyes were still looking all around.

Xu Ruoxi looked at these rooms, and said: "Uncle Guan really cleaned it. The environment here is better than I expected. I brought a few sets of bedding in the car, and they are all new. Go down to the sea and get them."

Pang Dahai went downstairs with the car keys, and I also went down to help, and brought up those quilts, all of which were lightweight eiderdown quilts.I also heard that it will be very cold in the mountains here at night, it seems that Xu Ruoxi has done a lot of homework.

Xu Ruoxi pointed around and said, "There are three rooms in total, I live in the small one, you four can live in the two big ones freely."

The third uncle nodded and said, "That's easy. I share a room with Ah Zhe, and my eldest nephew shares a room with Fatty. Let's go to bed early. I won't work tonight, and I'm tired after driving for two days."

Originally, Xu Ruoxi brought a lot of dry food and instant noodles. We were too full at noon, and now we are not hungry, so we went back to our rooms without eating.

But when I was about to enter the room, the third uncle gave me a wink, and I understood it and stayed and sat in the living room with the third uncle.

When everyone entered the room, the third uncle said in a low voice: "Nephew, you may have dragged the third uncle into the water again this time."

I was taken aback: "What do you mean? What did I drag you into?"

The third uncle said dismissively: "Although the eyes of the third uncle are not open, nothing can escape my eyes. Let me ask you, did you find anything when you came here?"

I was surprised again, and asked, "Third Uncle, we have just settled here, and we haven't started our investigation yet. What can we find? This house? I don't think there is any problem with the house?"

The third uncle pointed at me and said: "Nephew, I thought you had the bone relics, which would make you a step up in morality, but now, it has limited effect. You haven't seen the problem yet, let me tell you, It's more of a problem."

I didn't feel anything at first, but when I heard Uncle San say this, I suddenly felt chilly all over my body, and there were many problems, where are they?

I couldn't help looking behind me, and my third uncle patted me on the shoulder: "I can't see what I look at, it's more about feeling."

I looked at the two rooms. The fat man had a big head, a big heart, and a big belly. Maybe he was tired from driving continuously, so he fell asleep after entering the room.Xu Ruoxi's door was closed, and Xu Zhe also lay on the bed when he returned to the room.The room was very quiet, and no sound came out.

I knew that Uncle San must have said something when he stayed with me, so I asked in a low voice: "Uncle San, what do you feel, tell me about it."

The third uncle shook his head: "To be exact, I just found some doubts, and I haven't finalized it yet."

"Then tell me, what's suspicious?" I was also very curious when my third uncle said this.

The third uncle gestured to Xu Zhe's room, and said, "First of all, it's this kid."

"Xu Zhe? What happened to Xu Zhe?"

The third uncle asked: "Let me ask you, how old was this kid when he left the mining area?"

Chapter 1178 What is the Curse

I thought about it and said, "It seems to be five or six years old."

The third uncle stretched out five fingers: "Five years old. I confirmed it with Xu Ruoxi, and it is five years old. Tell me, how much impression can a child who is only five years old have on this place? Moreover, this house was lived in at that time It didn't take long, so many things happened one after another, and it didn't take more than a year until Xu's family moved out. A five-year-old child, I don't think he would recognize his family so clearly, be so sure, and even hesitate Nothing. There are bits and pieces in this house, he was living here just like yesterday. Don't you find it strange?"

I scratched my head: "This...maybe...maybe Xu Zhe has a good memory?"

The third uncle sneered: "Then I think you have a good memory, nephew. You can remember those runes clearly after reading them several times. Think about it yourself, can you still remember what happened when you were five years old?"

I recalled it carefully, and it seems that my memory when I was five years old is still very vague. Even if I can remember some things, most of them are fragmented, like a photo that has been torn apart, and I can only remember a few fragments content, but can't recall what the whole photo looks like.

I shook my head: "I really don't remember that."

The third uncle said: "That's it. So I think this Xu Zhe's behavior is not normal."

I am still deeply skeptical: "No way. This Xu Zhe is also one of the victims. According to common sense, he should not have any problems. Maybe he is a different kind of person. It's not abnormal. After all, they just moved into a new house at that time, so they were a little excited, and from a physiological point of view, the various sensory stimuli at that time were often stronger than usual."

The third uncle waved his hand: "Don't talk about those useless things, and figured out the physiology for me. You can discuss this with the old horse head. Well, even if this matter is normal, let's continue to talk..."

"Anything else?" I asked.

The third uncle asked back: "When you entered this room, what was the first feeling?"

"The first feeling? It seems... It's very tidy, it doesn't look like no one has lived in it for more than ten years."

Uncle San slapped his thigh and made a loud snap.

The sound startled both of us, but luckily it didn't attract the attention of anyone in the house.

But I was slapped by my third uncle just now, and I was so painful that I felt a chill, "Hiss... third uncle, talk as you say, why are you slapping my thigh. Besides, you slapped my thigh... hiss... it hurts .”

The third uncle smiled: "You can see that this house doesn't look like it has been unoccupied for so many years, right? Then who is your third uncle? I have studied haunted houses and houses for so many years. As long as the house comes into my eyes, what is the house?" I can get a clear picture of the situation. Let me tell you clearly, people have lived in this house for so many years... It just moved out not long ago, so there is still some dusty smell when you come in, but it will disappear soon after opening the window It’s dissipated. If no one lives here for more than ten years, and it’s just cleaned occasionally, the dusty smell won’t dissipate so quickly.”

I know that Uncle San is very sensitive to houses.His judgment on the house has always been very accurate.He has almost never seen the haunted house we broke down before.

Since he said that someone lived in this house, he should be right.

But the Xu family has already moved away, who would live here, and the key is still in the hands of the old manager most of the time.

At this time, it is not good to ask the old manager again.

And it doesn't seem to me that it's so important now to find out who used to live in the house, and it doesn't seem to have much relevance for us to break the curse, at least for now.

Besides, no matter how experienced Third Uncle is, it is still a guess until evidence is found.

The third uncle himself said: "Anyway, I can see that these two points are abnormal. As for whether this abnormality is related to that curse, I can't draw a conclusion right now. I can only observe for a while."

I nodded, the curse that lasted 20 years, trying to figure it out, figured it out, it won't be a day's work.We came all the way here, and since we want to intervene, we must be prepared for a protracted war.As for how long this time will take, no one can say.

The third uncle slept enough in the car. Although it was dark at this time, he didn't feel sleepy.I'm okay myself, so I took this opportunity to ask my third uncle: "Third uncle, do you think there are really curses in the world? What is a curse? The curse left by a dying person is really powerful. Will it be that big?"

Third Uncle nodded: "Third Uncle told you more than once that everything has a spirit, and everything has a source. If you want to know whether the curse exists, it mainly depends on where its source is."

I questioned: "The source? Isn't the source the fact that Chen Jinhua was crushed to death during the demolition? She felt that she was unwilling to die, so she felt hatred in her heart, and she cursed those families."

The third uncle said: "That's right. The source is this, but a person who is about to die, even if he speaks evil words, many times it is just to frighten others. Even if he curses, it is seldom There will be a time when it can be fulfilled. Whether the curse can be successful depends on many factors."

I nodded and said: "I know this too. If everyone's curses were in turmoil when they died, wouldn't the world be in chaos? It’s enough to cast a curse before. I think there are many people who want to exchange their own lives for the lives of their enemies’ families.”

The third uncle explained: "So. There are not so many curses in this world. There are many things that seem to be cursed, but the internal cause is still due to mysterious things. Take the curse cast by Chen Jinhua as an example. , what she said was to kill off the other four males, and never have any descendants. She was just an ordinary woman in her lifetime, and even if she died with great resentment, it is impossible to control the lives of so many people in other families with a single word .To put it bluntly, she doesn't have that much energy."

"Third uncle, I seem to understand. Does this mean that this Chen Jinhua died, and she also cast a curse, but this curse is not something that can be fulfilled just by talking about it. It also needs other factors to execute. It is like the old The emperor ordered a certain minister to be killed. It is not enough to just say a word, there are also people who pass the order, people who give the death tool, people who execute it, etc. "

The third uncle raised his palm and slapped it again, and it fell heavily. This time I was more careful, so I flicked my legs, and the third uncle slapped the air with his palm.

Chapter 1179 Mud on the bed

The third uncle smiled awkwardly, patted his thigh lightly with the palm of his hand, and said, "It's still my elder nephew who is educated. This makes it easier to understand if you give an example. Otherwise, I don't know what to do." Tell you."

I smiled wryly and said, "The truth is not complicated. It doesn't matter if you have any culture. So, Chen Jinhua cast a curse before she died, and it should be Chen Jinhua's ghost who executed the curse?"

The third uncle nodded, then shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. What is certain is that Chen Jinhua died so badly at that time, her soul must be full of resentment, and she must not be able to reincarnate. So it may be her soul who executed the curse , or other factors. This needs to be further determined.”

After the third uncle's explanation, I still have a little confidence in breaking the curse.Because I didn't know much about this curse before, it seemed very inscrutable.Looking at it now, this curse is likely to be attributed to mysterious things in the end.We are not unfamiliar with these, as long as we find out the root of this curse.

The two of us sat in the living room and chatted for a while, and the third uncle finally yawned and said he was sleepy.

So we turned off the light in the living room and went back to our rooms to sleep.

When I went back, Pang Haihai was already lying on the bed sprawled out, snoring everywhere.This guy almost occupied the entire single bed, so I could only push him aside and lay down on the bed with his clothes closed.

The curtains were not blocked, just enough to see the moonlight outside the window.

Although it was already night, the air in the mountains was exceptionally fresh.It may also be because the mining area has not been mined much in recent years, which makes the night sky look a little blue.A round of bright moon hangs high on the top of the mountain, and the sound of the wind makes the body feel very comfortable.

If it weren't for the curse incident here, I believe those miners and their families would be very comfortable living here.

The breeze was blowing, and with the snoring of Pang Haihai, I also felt a little sleepy.

Originally, I thought that it would be difficult for me to fall asleep if I changed to a strange environment.Unexpectedly, after lying down, I soon became a little confused, and I seemed to smell a faint fragrance of flowers, which should have come in from the window.

The fragrance of the flowers is refreshing, and it was very weak at the beginning, but then it became stronger and stronger.
