137. Chapter 137 Sleeping ancient coffin

"It can be sold, but what's more important for us now is to find a way out. What are you thinking about in your little head? Your brother-in-law is not short of the money." Haiyue patted her forehead.

There are three houses in the house, one on each east and west, and the main room of the head of the household is due north. This is a unique layout for southerners. If you are in the north, it is more important to face south. Northerners like to keep the room in the house facing south.

The more sunshine, the better, and summers are long in the south, so try to avoid direct summer sun when building a house.

To Nan Haiyue's left was the guest room on the west side. The door of this room was ajar. She was not in a hurry to go in right away. Instead, she leaned on the crack of the door and took a look. When she saw that there was no danger, she opened the door and left. Inside the room

The furnishings are very simple, with a round table, wooden chairs, dressing table, and embroidery bed. The gauze outside the embroidery bed is pink embroidered with flowers and butterflies. This house must be occupied by the unmarried women in the family.

There was a lot of dust in this house, especially on the tabletop and the dressing table. The thick layer of dust was almost half a foot long. Mei Xi was particularly interested in the ancient dressing tables, so she came over to watch the fun. There was a small one on the dressing table.

It was a wooden box. After opening the box, I found that there were many compartments in the box. Each compartment also contained the rouge, gouache, wooden combs and accessories of the lady from hundreds of years ago.

Among them was a particularly beautiful jadeite hairpin. Mei Xi blew off the dust and took it in her hand to see that it must be the best jadeite that her brother-in-law often said. It had become crystal clear after hundreds of years. She happily tried to insert it into her head.

, but I have short hair, so I don’t need hairpins at all.

"Mei Xi, don't move, put it down quickly. This family has a history of more than three hundred years. It was used by a dead person. You can't take it with you! Did you forget to soak the corpse in blood?"

Nan Haiyue knocked down the hairpin in Mei Xi's hand. The hairpin was carved extremely delicately by the craftsmen. Jadeite is fragile, and the hairpin was so thin that it broke into pieces when it fell to the ground. Meixi pout

She opened her small mouth and held the pearl hairpin as if it were a treasure, feeling very distressed.

"Silly girl, it's not enough for you to choose whatever you want in your brother-in-law's antique shop. Why are you acting like you've never seen any good things before? You can't touch things belonging to dead people." Haiyue reminded her.

"Oh, okay, I won't touch it if you don't want to touch it. I just think it looks pretty." Mei Xi was still thinking about what she would look like after wearing this beaded hairpin.

At this time, she found a mirror on the dressing table. It was a bronze mirror. Glass mirrors came from abroad in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, all ladies still used bronze mirrors.

Mei Xi brushed off the dust, pursed her lips and took a look at the bronze mirror to reflect on her beauty, but what appeared in the blurry bronze mirror did not seem to be her own face. Her face in the bronze mirror was pale and there was no light in her eyes, although her skin was still the same.

She is delicate, but her short black hair has turned gray, making her look like an old lady.

She was so frightened that she quickly threw the bronze mirror back. "Ghost... there is a ghost..."

"What's wrong with you?" Haiyue was also a little impatient. This little girl is so similar to her sister. She is so careless in a place like this. No wonder Wushuang likes her. The two sisters' personalities are exactly the same. It seems that she wants to kill her.

It will take some time to train into a qualified Mojin Captain Wushuang.

"Sister Haiyue, there is a ghost in the bronze mirror!"

Nan Haiyue smiled bitterly and said: "Please, my good sister, haven't you heard of the bronze mirror as a psychic medium? Its owner often dressed up in front of it when he was alive, so naturally what is left behind is her image. You're fine.

What are you doing with it?"

The bronze mirror was placed face up at the moment. Mei Xi dared to take another peek and saw that there was an old lady with white hair in the bronze mirror. She was clearly this young girl in her prime.

"How's it going? Did you two find anything?"

"Fu Jin, there's nothing there?" Ma Laosi and Dayong had already searched the 20-meter-long house, but couldn't find anything strange.

Nan Haiyue frowned and whispered: "That's strange. The old man said that the people in Wangchen Village still live here, but what about them? Even ghosts have to live in their own homes, right?"

The four people came out of the west room and turned around and entered the east room. The layout of the east room is not much different from that of the west room, except that there is no dressing table and the bed is not the kind of embroidered bed that girls sleep on. It seems that this family had a boy back then.

.There is still nothing found here.

Just as everyone was walking out of the east room suspiciously, Mei Xi looked up and noticed something was wrong. There were two lanterns hanging in front of the door to the north room. The lanterns in other people's homes were usually red lanterns, or there were many flowers and birds painted on the outside.

The lanterns of this family are white, big white, without any paintings.

"Is there something wrong with this family?" she asked Haiyue.

Haiyue didn't answer. She walked to the door and listened first. There was dead silence in the room without any sound. She turned around and winked at the two men. The two men rushed over and kicked open the door. The scene in the room

The four of them suddenly took a breath of fright and took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground. No wonder no one was seen. The four members of the emotional family were all in the main room, but these four people were probably already there.

No longer alive.

There were four large black coffins prominently placed in the room. On both sides of the coffins stood paper figures, paper horses, and incense and candle offerings. The fruits offered were all fresh wild fruits and not rotten.

Ma Laosi and Dayong swallowed their saliva and looked at Nan Haiyue, asking if they wanted to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. Nan Haiyue shook his head.

"Okay, let's go out and don't disturb the peace of the deceased." She stepped back step by step with her head facing north, her eyes never leaving the coffin, for fear that the dead body in the coffin would lift the lid and rush out to chase them.

After walking out of this house, the scorching sun shone above their heads, and the four of them felt a little warmer in their hearts. Lin Meixi's heart went crazy when she thought that the owner of the pearl hairpin and bronze mirror she just held was lying in the coffin looking at her.

"Damn it, that old guy lied to us. Didn't he say that the villagers of Wangchen Village still live in the village? What are these?" Ma Laosi cursed.

"He didn't lie to us. The four of them also have the life of dead people. They are indeed still living here. Did you notice those offerings of fruits? They are all fresh, which means that someone has changed them. Otherwise, they would have been changed for hundreds of years.

It just turned into mud."

Mei Xi asked: "Could it be that the old man is a gravekeeper?"

"I don't know. There are too many secrets in this village. Let's go and see other houses." Nan Haiyue ordered.

Since this is a real dead village, there is nothing to be afraid of. At least there can be no evil spirits under the scorching sun. The two men each protected their heroine and explored in two directions. After ten minutes, the four of them reunited.
