A few minutes later, the three of them regrouped at the stable door.
As soon as he came back, Hao Tie showed dissatisfaction on his face.
"There's nothing but horse stuff and a few other odds and ends."
Hearing this, the other two people also looked at each other's expressions.
Sure enough, they all found nothing.
"Let's go, we have to come piece by piece."
Since there was no such thing, Hao Gang waved to the two of them and immediately took them back to the yard.
Then, the three of them began to look around.
Underfoot, although it is overgrown with weeds and has been abandoned for a long time, it can be vaguely seen that it used to be lawns and flower beds.
But this time, they made a discovery after searching for a while.
"Come and see, what is this?"
Wei Jianye, who noticed something unusual, immediately waved to the two brothers.
Upon seeing this, the latter quickly rushed over to check.
I saw two grave-like things in a corner covered with weeds.
"Grave? Isn't that right?" As soon as he arrived, Hao Tie looked at his brother and asked doubtfully.
"Indeed." Hao Gang looked at the half-meter-high weeds nearby and was a little stunned, and casually sighed: "How could anyone dig a grave in their own yard?"
Next to him, Wei Jianye frowned as he listened to the two people's emotions.
As if he saw something was wrong, he stepped forward and pushed away the weeds with his hands.
Sure enough, after the obstruction was removed, the two tombs in front of us became clear.
Especially the words on it are more clear at a glance.
However, after seeing it clearly, Wei Jianye cursed.
"Fuck, I thought it was someone, but it turned out to be a fucking horse grave."
When the Hao Gang brothers heard this, they took two steps forward together and looked carefully.
Sure enough, the inscriptions on it were deliberately scratched.
But behind, isn’t it “.The Tomb of the Loved Horse”?
Hao Tie's face showed contempt, he immediately raised his leg and gave the tombstone a kick, curling his lips and said: "Erect a tomb for Ma? What a shame these people can think of it!"
To his right, Hao Gang also looked complicated and murmured in a low voice:
"If the weeds hadn't grown up around it, it would have occupied an area twice as big as our father's grave. It's true that they are from a wealthy family. Even the horses live with more dignity than humans."
Among the three, Wei Jianye recovered the fastest.
"Let's go, our lives are cheap, who can blame us?"
He said this calmly, shook his head and stopped paying attention, and then turned his gaze elsewhere.
On the other side, seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Hao Gang also called out in time and led them to the lower building next to them.
But not long after, their expressions became even worse and they walked out of the building again.
did not expect.
This building was actually occupied by servants.
and.
The room environment and accommodation conditions inside are much better than those where the three of them lived before.
All kinds of daily necessities are also readily available.
You know, according to what Tang Jiumin and those people said, the description of the mission.
This is decades
Could it be that his life is worse than that of a servant?
Not only that, the three people gained very little.
After a search, there was nothing left in the house that they wanted.
After searching all the rooms, we could only get a small amount of information.
Most of them are just meaningless keys and clothes.
Even a love letter?
If so, there is very little useful information.
First, this family's surname is Cao, and the mansion has been passed down for seven generations. The last owner returned from studying abroad, so the architectural style has been slightly changed.
Secondly, a care record was found in the groom's house, which stated that the two buried horses were purchased by the owner of the house with a large amount of money from abroad.
But what about more?
There are only some seemingly useless things left,
The living conditions of the servants and the minimal harvest made all three of them look unhappy.
Of course, for the next search, Hao Gang, as the leader, must do something.
He sighed and turned to look at Wei Jianye, who couldn't suppress his emotions the most.
"Don't worry, the house where the owner of the mansion lives has not been searched yet."
Fortunately, the latter did not refuse to cooperate because of his irritability.
Soon, the three of them headed towards the owner of the mansion, the tallest building.
After just a moment, they maintained their formation and entered the house.
To the left and right, there are houses one after another compactly arranged.
Hao Gang, who took the lead, opened the nearest door with almost no effort.
He tilted his head slightly and quickly looked left and right.
After confirming that there should be no danger, he immediately led two people into the search.
However, as soon as they were halfway through the search, the three of them were stunned.
Inside, there were only beds and some wooden furniture.
Apart from its beautiful appearance, there is no trace of habitation.
A thick layer of dust has fallen on the surface.
In desperation, the three of them had to withdraw and search the next room in order.
However, the situation is the same.
One after another.
Same layout, same - no trace of habitation.
Time passed slowly, and the first floor was quickly searched.
Second floor? It's also nearing the end.
Finally, as the three of them searched the last room, something was different inside.
It was a servant's room, which was used for daily use.
One of the cleaning records shows the 'identity' of those previous rooms.
It turned out that those were guest rooms prepared by the owner of the mansion.
Used to entertain guests who come to visit.
Just, according to the record.
Since the owner of this mansion came back, everyone in the town has left.
Not a single guest came to visit.
Angrily, he closed the cleaning record book.
No matter how patient Hao Gang was, his face would inevitably turn black.
Thinking about the huge amount of time wasted searching on the first and second floors one by one, I became even more angry.
"Walk."
Slapping the table hard, he quickly stood up and walked towards the stairs.
After all, looking at it now, perhaps the only thing that is really valuable is the third floor where the owner lives.
Finally, as the stairs made a dull sound, the three of them reached the top floor.
That is the first floor where the owner of the mansion lives.
really
Here, things get different.
There are only four rooms in a seemingly similar floor area.
However, the three people who walked up the stairs did not relax because of this. On the contrary, they did not even take a breath.
In fact, thin cold sweat seeped out from their foreheads, and their heartbeats slowly accelerated.
After all, the last floor that had not yet been searched was where the last owner of the mansion lived.
According to their previous search experience, this kind of place is the most dangerous.
On the first day, the three of them did not encounter ghosts, but who dared to say that they did not encounter that strange phenomenon?
It looks ordinary, but it will change drastically in the next second.
Therefore, they did not dare to take it lightly.
At the end of the team, Wei Jianye held the knife in his left hand early on and put it on his gun-holding wrist, maintaining a state of extreme vigilance.
In the middle, Hao Tie, whose body was trembling severely, also picked up the shotgun, looking for as much safety as possible.
Hao Gang is at the front, serving as the leader.
At this moment, he moved his steps like a drag, holding the middle part of the shotgun tightly, opening his mouth slightly and trying to adjust his breathing.
From the stairs to the first door, every step was extremely difficult. The distance was just over ten meters, and it took several minutes of walking to get there.
The three people's eyes swept around the corridor, not daring to miss any corner.
as if
What we entered was not a corridor, but a battlefield full of dangers.
Especially when he came to the door of the first room, Hao Gang did not directly reach for the door handle like before, but quickly looked around.
Make sure there is no danger in the direction deep in the corridor, and turn your body safely.
He first stretched out his hand to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead, then alternated holding the gun with both hands, flexing his stiff joints and repeatedly checking his status.
It wasn't until he was almost ready that he stretched out his hand tremblingly and touched the handle of the door.
However, after touching the handle, Hao Gang did not open it immediately.
Instead, try your best to adjust your breathing and gradually lower the sound and frequency.
In this way, another few minutes passed.
Fortunately, Hao Gang finally took control of himself and did not delay again. Instead, he twisted the handle and slowly lowered it.
Soon, the sound of the inner shaft rotating was heard little by little, and the lock was opened little by little.
As the handle is pushed to the lowest level, the entire door starts to shake slightly and can be pushed inwards at any time.
At the door, Hao Gang, who had brought things to this point, subconsciously swallowed his saliva and slowly pushed the door inward a little.
In this way, even if the handle is released, the door will not lock again.
Then, holding the gun with both hands again, he pressed the muzzle of the gun against the door as before, and tried to open it a little bit.
After a while, a small gap appeared.
Looking inside, it was a messy room.
Unlike the neatness of the previous guest room, the furniture inside seemed to be out of place.
Every piece of furniture within sight was violently damaged.
For example, the chair was missing a leg, and the big bed in the middle of the room was split in half.
There are several scratches on the wall, and I don’t know what caused them.
But looking at the dark red marks next to it, at least someone had been injured here.
After all, there was a pool of dried blood in the center of the room.
Seeing this scene, Hao Gang, who was already nervous, raised his voice directly to his throat.
But time passed by little by little, and standing at the door was not an option.
So after checking through the crack in the door several times and finding no other movement, Hao Gang opened the door with a shotgun and walked in.
However, his steps were extremely slow, and he carefully stared at every blind spot.
Both hands are also held flat, maintaining a shooting posture, ready to deal with possible monsters at any time.
Fortunately, after a few breaths, those scary things didn't appear in the room.
As he moved, the two people behind him also entered the room.
As soon as they entered, the formation immediately changed.
Wei Jianye continued to protect his back to prevent the three of them from being attacked from behind.
Hao Tie turned around and cooperated with his brother to focus on the blind spot on the left.
Finally, seeing two guns pointed in front of him at the same time, Hao Gang became more confident.
Unfortunately, just when he relaxed slightly, there was a sudden crisp sound under his feet.
The sound that he usually didn't care about immediately made his whole body stiff at this moment, his whole wrist was tense, and his finger even squeezed the trigger falsely, almost causing it to misfire.
Hao Gang kept scanning his surroundings with his eyes. After confirming that there was no danger, he glanced down.
I saw that what I stepped on was nothing but a piece of porcelain from a smashed vase.
He took a long breath and put his heart back down again.
It was full of ups and downs, and my back was covered in cold sweat due to the high tension.
I'm sorting out the outline recently, because it's too long when written according to the original outline. So it's compressing, reducing. For example, there was originally going to be a chapter on servants.
(End of chapter)
