Chapter 156 Chapter 156
This unique golden red paper is just a treat. "I think the front building is not clean, and the death of the master and his wife may also be related to this."
The butler was called in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke in a surprising way.
Yue Dingtang frowned: "That wasn't what you told us last time."
The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "I didn't know that I would be so fierce last time. Now even Alan, hey, I can't help but believe it!"
Yue Dingtang: "Why is it unclear?"
The housekeeper sighed: "When the old man moved into this house, he was persuaded..."
In the early years, the regime changed frequently, and the world was in chaos with great tragedy. There were many warlords with many names. Today is friends, tomorrow may be enemies, and countless small warlords can be picked up everywhere.
Yuan Bingdao was originally a subordinate of Sichuan Governor Liu Cunhou. When Liu lost his power, he immediately pulled a group of troops to leave, trying to establish himself. The good times did not last long. Yuan Bingdao was soon annexed by other warlords, and his subordinates were either killed or turned to Gaozhi. Yuan Bingdao also wanted to rely on the National Government to make a comeback, but the National Government looked down on him as a bad reputation and had no soldiers or power.
In desperation, Yuan Bingdao had to take his wealthy family to Shanghai to be an apartment house, so this house was originally used as a caregiver for his elderly care, so he naturally carefully selected it and paid great attention to it.
At that time, there were three houses for him to choose from, but he only took a fancy to it because the cunning Yuan Bingdao believed that in today's world, the country is surrounded by powerful people, and the people are weak. It happened that the world war had just ended, and China's fertile land would sooner or later be targeted. Either Britain, the United States, Japan and Russia, the houses located in the concession would be safer.
The former owner of this house was a British man and had married three wives. It is said that they all died strangely. At that time, there were rumors that the British killed his wife, but no one reported the case and there was no evidence, so the matter was left unresolved.
Later, the British died, and when they were discovered, they could not be rescued. Rumors were said to have been terrifying before he died, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. Later, the saying of haunted spread like wildfire.
After Yuan Bingdao bought the house, he was the Yuan Mansion and had been safe for more than ten years. Everyone gradually forgot the rumors of the past. But the old housekeeper still remembered that three people died in succession this time, and his memory was suddenly caught from the depths of his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he became more and more afraid.
Ling Yue and the other looked at each other.
I'm afraid I don't know about the old things ten years ago, let alone those with younger experiences.
"Your old man is so rich, you can't buy any house, no matter how big or good it is, why do you have to ask for a haunted house?" Ling Shu asked.
The old housekeeper smiled bitterly: "I was in a hurry to move in at that time. The house happened to be big enough. The old man had several wives and concubines. If he didn't have such a house, he could not even settle down."
Ling Shu looked up and looked around.
"Although Yuan Mansion is a good location, the lighting is a bit bad, and the houses facing the street are also a bit noisy. For those like Yuan Bingdao who are not short of money, this place is definitely not the first choice for retirement. Moreover, as far as I know, when the Yuan family moved here, your old man only brought one wife and one concubine, and one child with Yuan Bing. After coming to Shanghai for more than ten years, he did not take a newcomer, so he didn't seem to need such a big house."
The old housekeeper: "The old man's consideration is not something we can argue with. I have advised him to buy this place, so I can only obey it."
Yue Dingtang: "Then you didn't make a ghost more than ten years ago when you lived here?"
The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment: "There were several times when the Yuan family had a large population at that time, and everyone did not take it seriously. Later, the old man and the old lady passed away one after another, and the house gradually became empty, and there were more and more strange things."
Ling Shu: "Why didn't Yuan Bing and the others think about moving away?"
The old housekeeper sighed: "My master is living a life of food and food, but he has been away from home for half a day. How can he care so much? Besides, he has been living in vain and has no place to go except this house!"
When asked about Alan again, no matter the housekeeper or the other people in the Yuan family, they were all unaware of it.
As Ling Shu and the others expected, Alan's existence was almost transparent in the Yuan family. Although she was an extremely important person around Du Yunning, her muteness and illiteracy caused serious obstacles to her communication with others. Except for the old housekeeper who knows some sign language, other servants could not communicate with her at all.
No one likes her, no one hates her, and no one cares about her. If it weren't for the connection with the fate this time, her breathing, life and death would be destined to cause too much trouble.
Such little people are everywhere in this era and in this city, not surprisingly.
Ling Shu: "Did Alan leave anything or relics?"
The old housekeeper said: "After her accident, the chief of the police station came over and took away all the things she used on weekdays. You can go and ask."
Yue Dingtang refused to say anything: "Let's go to the front building first."
The old butler stuttered and refused to join in.
Yue Dingtang knew the reason.
Now there are rumors everywhere, especially the rumors of Yuan Mansion haunted. One day after another, even the police officers in charge of guards swear that they had seen Du Yunning standing by the window and staring out.
In this situation, other people naturally became furious and all the plants and trees were in trouble.
Ling Yue and the others didn't force him. Yue Dingtang himself had the key in his hand and could directly open the door of the front building.
A dusty breath came to my face, wrapped in the coldness of ice and snow, rolled into a ball, cold and dry, without any pleasant and exciting elements.
The owner of this small building has only been gone for a long time, and his popularity has disappeared completely, and he is even a little bit terrifying. No wonder the old butler just stood outside and refused to come in.
Yue Dingtang first went to the servant's room downstairs, while Ling Shu went upstairs to Du Yunning's room.
I have seen what I should read last time, but there is actually not much new things to discover.
But Ling Shu was afraid that he would miss something, so he still re-examined the details of every corner.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the door, which was very light and not fast.
"What did you find?" Ling Shu didn't look back.
He thought it was Yue Dingtang.
But no one spoke up behind him.
Ling Shu was looking through the drawer beside the bed, not paying attention for a moment until the back of his neck was blown gently.
A warm and cool breath made the hairs on the back of the neck stand up.
Ling Shu grabbed it with his backhand and grabbed it in vain!
He turned around suddenly!
The light above the head suddenly went out.
"My brother!"
A beautiful figure walked down from the second floor, and it was hard for her to wear stilettos and cheongsams, and she could still roll over like a whirlwind.
Yue Dingtang could blurt out without looking at the other party’s face: “Sister Three, why are you back?”
Yue Chunxiao smiled and said, "Why, don't you want to see me? Your brother-in-law returned to China with the minister. I don't want to go to Nanjing, so I just go home and take a look."
Yue Dingtang: "Mrs. Jiang is here in Nanjing, and there are dance banquets every day. Isn't that your favorite thing?"
Yue Chunxiao curled her lips: "I like to show off. I don't like to be humble and suffer. I didn't know that the officials were young even before I arrived in Nanjing. I had a lot of royal relatives. I was not interested in serving and dealing with each other. Isn't it that I feel comfortable going home? Besides, those people think that going abroad is a good match, and they will definitely ask questions, thinking that your brother-in-law has made a lot of money!"
Yue Dingtang nodded: "It's still the same bad temper."
Yue Chunxiao made a gesture to hit him, but the latter was clear-headed and his hands were about to go away. Yue Chunxiao's hand was halfway through, turning his palm into fingers, and pinching his ears.
Yue Ding Tang hissed, "Be gentle!"
Yue Chunxiao: "Are you convinced?"
Yue Dingtang: "The five bodies protrude."
Yue Chunxiao was satisfied and let go: "I made some dumplings and rolled noodles. What do you want to eat? Dumpling soup? Mix noodles with scallion oil?"
Yue Dingtang: "Stain oil mixed with noodles."
Yue Chunxiao said angrily: "It's still the same mouthful, I haven't changed since I was a child."
After saying that, he happily went to prepare.
Mix the noodles with scallion oil very quickly. Heat the scallion oil in the pan until the scallion changes color. Then cook the noodles and remove them, and then drizzle the hot scallion oil.
A bowl of noodles has thus become the thought of most people in this city, from high-ranking officials to peddlers and barracks.
Yue Chunxiao made more than just scallion oil noodles.
There were also fragrant wine and soup buns on the table.
These two things cannot be done in a short while.
Yue Dingtang twitched the corner of his mouth: "You are not afraid that I will die of a midnight snack."
Yue Chunxiao did not lie in the hand of a servant, and personally served the noodles mixed with scallion oil and placed them in front of him.
"I thought your second brother would come back to eat, but who knew he had something to do and went to Peking for a while." Yue Chunxiao sat down opposite him and sighed, "It's better to be at home. I like it wherever I see it. Even the missing cabinet in the room looks better than outside."
Yue Dingtang lowered his head and ate several bites of noodles before laughing, "What kind of crime did he suffer to sigh? Didn't you always think that Western countries are much better than the places of their ancestors, they are both advanced and beautiful, with tall buildings and civilized etiquette, are you talking about it?"
Yue Chunxiao glanced at him: "I used to study abroad. Can I study abroad be the same as studying abroad? You only know how to talk sarcastic here. You should really let you go and see it with your own eyes. If you know, you say it was an embassy, you don't know, and you think it was a haunted house that was disrepaired in disrepair!"
Yue Dingtang was surprised: "After all, you represent the decent state of a country. Didn't the Nanjing government allocate funds?"
