Chapter 229 Strange things in the small village 29
The uncle coachman lowered his voice mysteriously and said: "Some people saw it with their own eyes when they passed by here in the middle of the night, and heard the sound of ghosts crying. There were even naughty children who entered the Li Mansion during the day, but never came back.
I have never come out..."
As the uncle coachman spoke, he pointed to the right front with his right hand holding the riding whip: "Here, look, that's the Li family mansion."
Gu Nian looked in the direction he indicated and saw a house with a closed door.
There is also a plaque with large official script characters hanging above the gate of the house.
Li Mansion.
Gu Nian and Lin Chen exchanged glances again, and Lin Chen nodded to her.
She knew that he probably wanted to tell her that tomorrow, the two of them could come here to take a look at the situation and investigate, maybe they could find some valuable clues.
The two of them just showed some curiosity about the long-abandoned Li Mansion, and didn't say much to the coachman. They took the carriage for a walk around the small village, and finally went to a restaurant in the village and had a meal there.
Had lunch and returned home to rest.
They planned to set out at dawn tomorrow and sneak into Li's house to find out.
The two of them never expected that as soon as they climbed over the courtyard wall and entered Li's mansion, they saw a huge wooden sparrow parked in the courtyard.
This wooden bird was exactly the same as the wooden bird sent by the masked man to deliver something to Gu Nian before, except that it was a thousand times bigger, reaching the level that it could be ridden by one person.
The reason why Gu Nian and Lin Chen were sure that the huge wooden bird could be used for riding was because they saw that there was a wooden seat on the back of the wooden bird!
Seeing this wooden sparrow, Gu Nian immediately thought of the masked man sitting on a puppet carrying a sliding pole and commanding the same small wooden sparrow to deliver things!
Unexpectedly, they just wanted to explore the secrets of the Li Mansion and find a way to clear the game, but they accidentally stumbled upon the masked man here!
However, they only saw this big wooden bird now. But they didn't know where the masked man was in the mansion.
"We can look for clues to clear the game here while looking for the whereabouts of the masked man," Gu Nian said.
Meeting the masked man by chance was the only good news they had been waiting for for so many days.
Because they were new arrivals and were not familiar with the environment here, the two of them did not take action for the time being, but carefully looked at everything around them.
Although they were not sure what was inside, they could tell from what the coachman had said before and the locals' fear of this place that this mansion was a very dangerous place.
They climbed over the wall and entered into the courtyard of Li Mansion.
There is a dried up pool in the yard.
In the middle of the pool is an old fountain, covered with mud and moss.
It can be vaguely distinguished that the fountain is probably in the shape of two carps in auspicious shape.
There are several trees around, which are unevenly grown. Due to the decline of the Li family, they have not been pruned for decades. They look strong and tall, and the dark canopy is lush and green, giving off a sense of depression and gloom.
The weeds in the yard have spread beyond the flowerbed and seem to be as tall as a person.
