I don't know whether the house is too big or the other party deliberately concealed it. Ling Yun and the others did not see Master and Disciple Youfa and his group again after they came in. However, Ling Yun did not want to look for them. He just pretended to be in the house and remembered the general environment. I directly chose the dilapidated embroidery building.
"Since we are here to catch ghosts, let's wait in that lady's room."
When I walked into the embroidery building, I realized that all the useful things here were gone, and all that was left were scattered furniture and thick dust.
There are still a lot of paper money on the ground, which may have been left behind by someone who tried to perform sacrifices or rituals here before.
Ling Yun had a happy-go-lucky nature, so he found a stool, checked its stability, wiped off the dust on it, and sat down.
Su Youting was worried that Lingyun would be cold at night, so he picked up a lot of broken pieces of furniture and set up a bonfire in a more open area at the door. It was ventilated from all sides, so he didn't have to worry about being choked by the smoke. He also found a seat and sat down. .
Mr. Shen was a lot more nervous. This was the place where the haunted protagonist lived during her lifetime. Who knew whether she would still live here after her death? The doors and windows filled his heart with fear. Even the stairs from the living room to the second floor were called He was frightened for no reason.
After searching for a long time, I placed myself in the middle of an eight-treasure shelf separated from the stairs, with Ling Yun and the others on the other side.
You can see the window and the door from the front here, and you can observe the stairs from the side. I feel a little safer and a little more at ease.
Then he saw the wooden sword in Ling Yun's hand and said, "You all have weapons. Can you share one with me so that I can feel a little safer? I'm really scared here..."
Ordinary people, especially ordinary people like Mr. Shen, who have never experienced such weirdness, feel scared in such an atmosphere. It is normal. Su Youting feels sorry for himself and Ling Yun's bows and arrows. He is afraid that if something happens, Mr. Shen will use them as a fire stick and swing them randomly. After a while, he thought about it and handed over the small wooden sword at his waist.
Finally having a weapon in his hand, Mr. Shen held the small wooden sword in front of his chest like an incense stick, blinking a few times for fear of something unexpected happening.
Ling Yun felt much more relaxed, "It's still early now. We still have about an hour of rest. We can take a nap, as long as we don't fall asleep to death."
After saying that, he sat on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and began to rest, gathering strength for the evening.
Su Youting's distressed daughter-in-law leaned towards her and offered her shoulders. Ling Yun tilted his head as if he had really fallen asleep, breathing evenly and looking relaxed.
After a while, Su Youting also closed his eyes. Only Mr. Shen was impressed. In this kind of environment, how big their hearts were, and they could still fall asleep. He directly took on the responsibility of sentry, holding the small wooden sword in his hand very well. tight.
Now the sky outside has turned completely dark. There is no movement in the entire deserted house except the sound of wind. It is so quiet that it is disturbing, and there is no trace of light. It is almost invisible outside. Fortunately, there is the fire lit by Su Youting. They The area we are in feels relatively safe.
When people are afraid, they will subconsciously feel that they will be safer if they are within the range of light. This is how Mr. Shen feels now.
Sleeping is contagious to drowsiness, and since nothing really happened now, Mr. Shen started to feel sleepy.
Just when he nodded, opened and closed his eyes, struggling on the edge of whether to fall asleep or not.
There was sudden movement outside the yard...
Almost as soon as there was movement outside, Ling Yun opened his eyes, sat up straight, and Su Youting woke up immediately after a light tap on his shoulder.
If anyone pays attention to Ling Yun's eyes at this time, they will find that they are different from usual ones. Although Ling Yun's eyes are usually big, beautiful and lively, at this time her eyes seem to flash with golden brilliance, giving people a sacred look. A feeling of inviolability.
The sound of sweeping with a broom came from the dark yard, and the sound got closer and closer.
The sound came suddenly, as if the man suddenly appeared from under the ground. He didn't hear any other sounds at all, and he suddenly started sweeping the floor.
When they came in, they didn't even see anyone else breathing. Suddenly, someone was sweeping the floor in the dark, which was very abnormal. In addition, Mr. Shen had been tense, so he would be frightened by the sudden sound. A jump.
The sound of rushing was still going on outside, and it seemed that he had reached a place not far from the door. However, Ling Yun did not see anyone at all through the light of the fire at the door, and subconsciously reminded him, "No, he's not breathing." Sounds and footsteps!”
Mr. Shen felt a shiver rising from his tailbone to the back of his head. His entire scalp was tense. He clenched the small wooden sword in his hand tighter and asked in a trembling voice, "Then what on earth is this?"
Ling Yun did not answer, but directly carried the wooden sword and walked quickly to the door of the embroidery building. Su Youting followed closely with a bow and arrow ready for attack. Master Shen struggled for a long time, and finally followed them to the door.
From this position, the three of them could clearly see that in the yard outside the door, there was an old-looking man with a dog on his back, sweeping the fallen leaves and weeds in the yard, making a rustling sound. It was from him.
When Mr. Shen saw that he was a normal person, he felt angry. Why are you fussing about it in the middle of the night? Don’t you know that scaring people can scare them to death?
He walked over and wanted to argue a few words. Ling Yun grabbed Mr. Shen and shook his head gently, "Don't go there, this is not a living person."
With just one sentence, Mr. Shen's goosebumps quickly spread all over his body. He turned around mechanically and asked Ling Yun, who was holding him, "What kind of person is this? Sister, don't scare me!"
Ling Yun stretched out his hand and pointed at the ground under the man, "Do you see his shadow?"
Looking at it, apart from the shadows of the three of them swaying in the light of the fire, there was no shadow of the fourth person on the ground. Mr. Shen quickly took back the sold feet and returned to Su Youting and the others honestly. behind.
He didn't even dare to take another look at the rickety figure sweeping the floor.
The more scared he felt, the more he couldn't help but think about it. He asked Ling Yun in a low voice, "Isn't this the ghost of the old servant?"
Ling Yun also kept observing what it was. The light was not good, so she could only vaguely see an outline, but the face could not be clearly seen. However, looking around, she still found something, towards the top of the verandah next to the courtyard wall. Zi pointed and said, "Shoot it down!"
Su Youting immediately started moving. He locked the target in just two breaths, and with a whoosh, the arrow left the string. He accurately shot down what Ling Yun pointed at, and the arrow made a crisp sound when it fell on the eaves of the corridor.
The three of them watched helplessly as the figure who was sweeping the floor a moment ago disappeared with a bang, and then a black shadow the size of a cat quickly fled away.
