stay together

There was only one surname written on the silk strip—Xu, and this surname brought the two of them to an old house in the west of the city.

Although Cao Guiqing didn't want to say anything about the enemies, the people who came to An still remembered those old events vividly.

Especially after hearing that Cao's house was on fire, he described the piles and all the rumors vividly.

The Songshan house was already dilapidated, the door was closed tightly, and the red paint on the door wall was peeling off.

In addition, the location of the mountain house is really remote, and the West Square next to it was also closed many years ago, and the people who used to live nearby have almost moved out, making this area sparsely populated, not only deserted, but also a bit gloomy.

Fusu could feel that there were many ghosts and ghosts here, but Yunhe walked here for a while, so that he couldn't even see a ghost around him, and he became a real crowd.

"Hey, the door can't be pushed open, it's probably locked from the inside!" Yunhe pushed the door vigorously, but the door crack that was expected to appear with a "creak" didn't come as promised, and the door remained motionless.

Fusu was also a little surprised, but he was not in a hurry, he just wanted to bleed some blood when he drew out the dagger.

Seeing his posture, Yun Hexing was so frightened that he immediately stopped him: "Don't, don't, isn't your blood worthless?! You love cutting so much..."

He asked Fusu to stand where he was, while he jumped down the steps in three steps at a time, and went up the left wall to check.

Fusu didn't think there was anything wrong with blasting open the wooden door with blood, he looked down at his hand and the knife, and obediently put the knife back into its sheath.

Not long after, the door was opened from the inside with a "squeak", and Yun Hexing poked his head out with a proud face: "Look, it's just a door open, there's no need to mobilize the crowd like this."

Fusu had no objection, nodded, and then walked into the door.

Standing in Songshan House, I felt the dilapidation and decay inside.

According to the common people in Lai'an, the Songshan house used to belong to the Xu family.

The Xu family is one of the largest big families in Lai'an.The Xu family not only controls the salt industry in several inland cities, but also their children hold important positions in the capital.

It has been so prosperous and continued for almost five generations, but it suddenly withered a hundred years ago.

Fusu originally didn't believe these stories mixed with too many folk rumors, but now standing here and looking inside, he actually saw some meaning.

The door plaque of the front hall has long been broken into several pieces, and some beams are decayed and crumbling.Weeds were overgrown everywhere, and vines snaked to cover the walls and doorposts.

The dark red suckers hidden under the blue and yellow seemed to be stained with blood, like little blood-colored eyes, staring at all the intruders.

"When it's not deserted, it must be a good garden." Yun Hexing didn't know where the interest came from, and put the fragments of the door plaque together, and put the big gold characters that hadn't faded back together—— -Fruitful.

Yun Hexing looked at the furniture and vases that were covered with thick gray, they were all in excellent condition.Based on their appearance alone, he can imagine the appearance of the people who lived in this garden and the scenes of their life.

Thinking this way in his head, his eyes seemed to really see the scene of someone walking up and down in the front hall serving tea and water.

At the beginning of Yunhe's journey, he just thought that his eyes were dazzled, but he didn't expect that he could still see those scenes after blinking hard a few times, so he immediately became nervous: "I...couldn't be in some kind of confusion, right? Why does it feel like someone is really there? Move here...?"

He turned his head and grabbed Fusu's shoulder, pointed to the phantom inside and confirmed, "Can you see it? Or is it just me?"

"I can see."

"Is there a maze here?"

Before Fusu could answer, Bai Yuan had already heard the voice from the jade ring: "It's not a maze, idiot. It's just the memory of these wood and porcelain."

"Is there such a saying..." Yun Hexing was obviously meeting him for the first time, after hearing Bai Yuan's explanation, he still couldn't help asking Fusu for confirmation, and he was a little relieved when he got the other party's affirmation.

Bai Yuan curled up on Yun Hexing's neck, his two small eyes flickered around, and then sighed: "The spiritual power here is a bit unusual, no wonder the vegetation can reflect the previous scene."

"What's unusual?"

"I don't know, I can't tell." Unexpectedly, this question stopped Bai Yuan. "Look at the back, maybe you can feel something."

The front hall is already grand enough, but I didn’t expect to go to the back of the Songyan mountain house to make people realize that this is not an ordinary house, but a mountain house.

All the layouts are carefully designed, each place is a scene from a distance, and another scene from a closer view. The pattern of mountains and rivers is arranged so that "the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village" everywhere.

It's just that now the rockery has been broken, the stream has dried up, and even the original chic bridge looks unsafe.

If it was only a hundred years, why did it suddenly lose so much?

"Look, there are traces of fire." Fusu walked into Bieyueju and called Yunhe to come over.

The furniture inside was still in good condition, but one wall was covered with a heavy layer of soot.

Bai Yuan jumped off Yun Hexing's shoulders, leaned over to the wall and sniffed, "It feels like there is no burnt smell in the wall, the soot is stained on it."

"Something else should have been burned here, but someone cleaned it up." Fusu picked up the blanket on the ground with a fan, and immediately rolled up a cloud of dust, almost choking his face.

Yun Hexing leaned over to look, and saw the black circle under the blanket.

It's just that this black is different from the black on the wall. The short knife poked down lightly to pry up the loose brick, and immediately there was a mess under the brick.

"This...what is this? The color of this soil...isn't right..."

Fusu glanced at him, but didn't touch it directly, and picked up a handful of soil with the tip of the knife: "There is blood in it."

"There's also corpse oil, it really stinks..." Bai Yuan said in disgust.

Both blood and corpse oil came out, how could Yunhe Xing not understand? "People have died here... It seems that the rumors outside are not all made up..."

Fusu put down the almost broken carpet in his hand: "Let's go to the back and have a look."

Go around the long corridor, pass through the moon gate, and you will find the Jingyue Pavilion in front of you.But as soon as they stepped into the pavilion, their eardrums were pierced with a scream, and Yunhe stopped in fright.

Fusu reacted quickly, stepped over the railing and ran towards the source of the sound.Yun Hexing was just taken aback for a moment, and then ran over.

It's just that before they got there, many people rushed over with basins of water.In addition to the sound of footsteps coming and going, there are also whispers that are chasing after mosquitoes and flies.

Yun Hexing and the others followed those figures into the yard, and saw that everyone was holding water basins, but they hesitated to move forward.And in the middle of the crowd was a little girl who was burned by the fire, struggling in pain.

And the other old woman who has been leaning next to the girl has an indescribable ecstasy on her face.

"Crazy..." Yun Hexing was startled and angry, and he stretched out his hand to snatch the basin from the hand of the figure next to him, and rushed to extinguish the man-eating flame.

But Fusu grabbed him and calmly stopped him, "It's not true."

Looking at the dying girl, Yun Hexing couldn't help closing his eyes and turning his head away.

"This is the first time..."

"Will the government come to investigate, old lady..."

"The old lady is really crazy, she just killed one in front..."

"Do you think we will become the next..."

There were shadows all around, and the portraits were a little faded by the wind. Through the bodies of "theirs", we could see the only remaining flowers and willows in Su Yueju.

Even so, the panicked but watching faces because of the secret news, the face that had been scorched black by the fire, and the man who was so surprised and crazy, were like huge stones pressing on Yun Hexing's heart, making him breathless.

A gust of cool wind blows from the side, blowing away all the images.Yun Hexing looked back, and saw Fusu was frowning and holding his folding fan, pursing his lips in silence.

Fusu felt the other party's gaze, put away his fan, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid there will be more troublesome things later. Do you remember what they said outside?"

"..." Yun Hexing glanced at the floor tiles that had been left for a long time, and sighed, "The old lady of the Xu family changed her temperament for some reason. Burning people for joy..."

"Not this part." Fusu interrupted.

"Hey... I know, they said that the Xu family threw the dead servants into a well in order to keep quiet."

"After the old lady died of illness, everyone in the Xu family thought they could breathe a sigh of relief. As a result, the young master of the Xu family at that time also started to go crazy, and finally locked up his wife and children..."

Yunhe walked back here, widened his eyes, and looked into the distance in disbelief. "A fire started..."

Fusu noticed the false black smoke earlier than he did: "It's not the fault of others thinking about this crazy family."

"Yeah... I also wonder if the Cao family has surrendered their heads to the Xu family..." Yun Hexing murmured.

Screams, cries, and cries for help were mixed together. No matter where they went, there were figures rushing to put out the fire all around.Yunhexing and the others walked through the bodies of those shadows, witnessing large and small fires along the way.

All the "persons" had a look of panic on their faces, both panicked and secretly excited that watching the excitement is not a big deal. No "person" is normal.

The atmosphere was suppressed with some disgusting madness, as if all "people" were waiting for the last carnival and elegy of the Xu family.

The largest courtyard was engulfed in flames, and the sound of crackling wood scratched the eardrums. Inside were the cries of women with children, and men laughing and coughing wildly.

This time, almost no one came to put out the fire, and all those who survived looked relieved, and the servants began to plan to take away some valuable treasures from the Xu family, so that they could pack their bags and run away to survive.

Yunhexing and the others only took a look, then silently retreated from the "crowd" and walked towards the small door.Bai Yuan looked back at the still burning flames, thoughtfully.

Sure enough, they found the well that was said to be used for corpses in the wisteria courtyard near the small gate.

Bai Yuan, who was still listless, suddenly raised his head vigilantly: "There is something I want to come over."
