Chapter 8 Breaking into the Ancestral House

My reaction in the first second was that I was scared to death, but I reacted immediately in the second second and hurriedly walked towards the grass over there.

Generally speaking, the ghosts hiding in the grass and watching us secretly are not powerful characters. I think this ghost is so shameless, it must be just a small character.

Dahuang probably didn't expect me to be so brave. When he saw me taking steps, he quickly followed behind and said, "Lin Yang, don't be impulsive."

But I seemed to be urged by an instinct in my body and rushed towards the ghost.

The ghost's eyes saw me rushing towards me, and immediately showed fear. I saw the grass move, and a black shadow suddenly passed through the aqua toilet.

The dry toilet originally had a small wooden door, but the black shadow was able to pass through the door and instantly disappeared at the end of the toilet without a trace.

This is so strange.

Sure enough, there is a saying called "sneaky", and things like ghosts are indeed "sneaky".

I looked in through the crack in the wooden door and saw that it was completely dark inside the aqua toilet. The moonlight could only illuminate a very small part of it. No matter how I looked, I didn't see any ghosts.

Dahuang also followed and asked: "The ghost is gone?"

I nodded, and Dahuang said: "It doesn't matter, that ghost is probably just an ordinary ghost, and it's probably not even a bad ghost. Lin Yang, why are you so active this time and rushed over as soon as you saw the ghost?"

"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know. I was a little scared at first, but the next second I don't know why, I immediately became like a wolf seeing a rabbit. It's such a strange feeling..."

The old cat said behind me: "This is not because of you, but because of Xiao Feng who is attached to you. She may be hungry again..."

It suddenly dawned on me that indeed, since Xiao Feng possessed me, when I saw ordinary little ghosts, my reaction was not to be afraid at all, but to find them delicious. It seems that Xiao Feng is indeed a powerful ghost, and I want to eat them as soon as I see a ghost.



I pointed to the aqua toilet and asked, "What about this ghost? Do you still want to take care of it?"

The old cat shook his head and said: "Don't worry about him for now. He is not an important person. Let's go in quickly and get the blood jade."

I nodded quickly and followed Lao Mao and Da Huang towards the main house of the Bai family's ancestral home.

The main house faces south, and is actually several rooms generously put together. Wang Chengqian said that the blood jade was inside the earthen kang of the main house, but what he actually said was not very clear.

I looked out of the window. There were two rooms with earthen beds, and the positions were symmetrical. It was impossible to tell which room was the main house, and it was impossible to deduce which room the blood jade was buried in.

Inside the Tukang.

I glanced at the old cat and asked, "What should I do? Try both?"

The old cat pondered for a moment and said: "The east is more expensive than the west, let's start from the east."

I thought it made sense, so I went to the room on the east side and opened the door.

Before I started, I saw a long-old lock hanging on the east door. The lock was rusty, and even the keyhole was blocked by rust.

At this time Dahuang smiled and said: "This house is so old, you should be able to get in without opening the lock."

Before I could understand the meaning of Dahuang's words, I saw Dahuang step forward and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull the big iron lock.

I heard a "clang" sound, and saw that the link behind the iron lock and the wooden door suddenly rotted, and was pulled down by Dahuang. As expected, the old house was in disrepair for a long time and was in a state of decay.

Dahuang smiled proudly and said, "How is it? Isn't my brother very powerful?"

The old cat didn't even look at him, raised his foot and said: "Stop talking nonsense, come in quickly."

The three of us hurriedly got in. As soon as we entered the door, I felt my feet slipping. It turned out that a layer of dust had accumulated on the ground. The room we entered was considered a living room, with a big pot next to it. This kind of decoration was very old, although the Bai family

At that time, the status was pretty good, but the decoration inside was quite simple.

The big Tukang on the east side should be in the door that turns to the right. We didn't bother to look too much. After all, Da Huang made a lot of noise when he opened the door just now. It would be bad if we offended the uncle and aunt.

The three of us hurriedly walked into the room. As soon as we entered the door, we saw a solid wood table in the room. It looked gorgeous with carvings of dragons and phoenixes, but it was probably in a state of decay due to age.

The earthen kang is right opposite the table, and it is still covered with a thick layer of dust. You can tell at a glance that no one has been here for many years.

When I saw this room and looked at the glass outside the room, something suddenly occurred to me. The man in the floral cotton-padded jacket that I saw when we came here seemed to be what I saw here.

He was probably sitting on the kang at that time, looking at us outside through the glass on the window.

When I thought of this, I felt a little creepy in my heart, and whispered: "Old cat, be careful, I remember that the old man in the floral cotton-padded jacket I saw before was here... I always feel that there is someone in this room."

The old cat frowned and asked: "Seriously?"

I nodded.

Dahuang immediately took out Cow's Tears from his backpack and asked, "How about we take a look?"

The old cat waved his hand and said: "Out of sight, out of mind. Since they didn't come to pester us, why bother ourselves? We quickly took our things and left to avoid a long night and many dreams."

I thought this was the truth, so I ran towards the Tukang without even thinking about it.

Many of my friends today may not know the structure of the Tukang. This kind of thing is hollow, that is, a bed-like fortress is built against the window or against the wall, and the inside is connected to the large earthen pot in the outside room.

, in this way, when the Tukang outside is burning, the Tukang inside the house can be heated, and the heat can get in from the outside. This was also the earliest heating method in rural areas, called "burning the kang".

There is also a small opening outside the Tukang, which can directly lead to the inside of the Tukang. When the weather is very cold, you can directly use this small window to light a fire under the Tukang for heating. This hole is now under our feet. If Wang Chengqian said

If it's true, the piece of blood jade should be inside the entrance of the cave.

I looked at the hole and felt that there was nothing inside. I asked the old cat: "Old cat, what should I do?"

The old cat thought for a while and said: "Which of you two has the longer arm, reach in and see if there is any hidden door. If not, we may have to dismantle the earthen kang."

I looked at Dahuang, and Dahuang spread his hands, which meant that my hands were longer than his.

I was a little helpless and had to say: "Then I'll do it."

As I said that, I rolled up my sleeves and stretched my hand in. When I stretched my hand in, I felt very uneasy, and big beads of sweat were already flowing down my head. This feeling was not good, because after all, I stretched out my hand.

I’m exploring a place I don’t understand at all, and I don’t know what’s in it.

I was even afraid that some monster would suddenly appear inside and bite my hand off in one bite.

After groping for a while, I found that except for the dust on my hands, I didn't touch anything special.

Both Dahuang and the old cat stared at me, very nervous. Dahuang kept asking: "How is it? How is it?"

I was a little confused by Dahuang's question and said angrily: "If you are curious, come over and touch it. Why do you have to ask me?"

As soon as the words came out, I suddenly felt something was wrong. My hand seemed to touch something cool... This thing was slippery, cold, and wet. It didn't look like something that existed here at all. After all, it was in this room. No one has been here for more than ten years, so why is there still something wet?

Could it be a mouse? A snake?

I almost filled my mind with all the scary things, but I still didn't think about what it was. I was so scared that I forgot to take out my hand.

The old cat saw my expression change and asked quickly: "Lin Yang, what did you touch?"

I whispered: "I can't tell you...it's cold and slippery, it seems like..."

However, at this time, the weird thing suddenly moved. It felt thin and long, and it actually wrapped around my hand. While wrapping around, it also scratched the palm of my hand. I was so scared that I quickly retracted my hand. His body trembled and he said: "Oh my god, I seem to have touched a tongue!"
