985. Living People Never Walk at Night
I frowned and looked suspiciously at the endless darkness in the corridor of the building. It was as if there were countless pairs of eyes hiding in the darkness and watching me secretly. It's okay that Mr. Ning didn't say this. After saying this, I
My heart felt like it was being tickled by countless little bugs.
"Old man, it's okay if I don't ask. No, can we light the lantern? It's so late at night that you think the light in this house isn't too scary at all?"
"No, if this lantern lights up, your lives will be at risk!" he said.
"Why? Could it be that the light in this lantern is used to light the way for ghosts?"
He smiled and said: "Humph... you are really right this time, it is to light the way for ghosts! I turned off all the lanterns when you entered the house just now, just for fear that you would suffer!"
To show the way for ghosts? My body shivered violently. No wonder Lao Xie didn't dare to come in after following us to the door. He probably also felt that the aura in Jin's mansion was wrong. This Mongolian man has always been cautious, and he might still be waiting.
Come in again at dawn.
"Then why don't you leave some light for us? What if I want to pee in the middle of the night? There's no toilet in your house!" I asked him deliberately.
"There is a urinal in the house, so you can do whatever you want!"
He finally took us to an independent small courtyard. The small courtyard was not big, just like the place where water was collected in the old house. There was an ancient well in the middle of the courtyard, and there was a big stone on top of the ancient well. The small courtyard was only 200 yuan.
It is a flat place with a small wooden house at the end. Compared with other buildings in Jin Mansion, it is much simpler. It does not look like a residence for entertaining distinguished guests, but more like it was used by servants. I think this place should have been used by servants.
For washing clothes, there are still laundry ropes hanging on the left and right, but the ropes are old and some have burrs and some are broken.
There is a wooden house in the yard. After entering the wooden house, there is a large stove. The stove is connected to a hot bed in the house. The hot bed is also covered with kang mats and quilts, all of which are modern quilt covers. This small wooden house seems to have been just built now.
The furnishings inside are all from the 1980s.
"Old Ningtou, what do you mean? Your old man said that we are distinguished guests. What do you mean? Is this how you entertain distinguished guests?" I complained.
In fact, despite the fact that there is a fire kang here, the fire kang is still warm, but I would rather live in this antique old house, and I also want to see the antiques and old furniture displayed in the house.
Isn't it a pleasure to watch?
"You kid! What a shame! I'm telling you, don't be unhappy. This is where I usually live. If you don't want to live here, that's fine. There are many empty rooms in the house. I'll leave you soon.
You can live wherever you want, but it's hard to say whether you'll live to see the sun tomorrow morning!" he said coldly.
"Ah, then...then there's no need, just live here. Then where are you going to live?" I asked him.
"Me? I went out while it was still early and the lanterns in the mansion were not bright enough. This is the only place in the mansion where living people live! Remember, you two, don't go out tonight, and don't go out if you hear anything!
Again, the dangers of the Jin Mansion are more sinister than the crypts of the ancient tombs! Okay, rest early, I will ask you to pay respects to your ancestors tomorrow morning!" With that, Third Master Ning turned around and took it with him.
The wooden door leads out of the small courtyard.
In fact, we had been tired all day, and with my little wife by my side, we fell asleep on the hot bed with our beauty in our arms. But after telling me so many things, how could I still fall asleep? I felt like I was being tortured.
