After the old man left, Yan Yan took a closer look at the mansion.
I don’t know what the people who built the house thought at the time. The house actually faces south and faces north. Instead of gathering yang, it gathers yin.
This is not a house for living people.
Yan Yan turned around and looked at the courtyard wall opposite the mansion. There was no door visible on this courtyard wall, and it also faced south and north.
She took a few steps back and jumped onto the opposite courtyard wall.
Yan Yan was stunned.
There is nothing in this yard, not even houses. Looking far away, you can directly see the entire wall surrounding it.
What's even stranger is that there are only walls and no doors.
Yan Yan stood on the courtyard wall and walked along the courtyard wall.
This is really an enclosed courtyard in a circle.
Yan Yu jumped from the wall into the yard. The ground was covered with weeds. When she jumped in, she realized that the weeds in the yard were almost as tall as her.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a round stone platform as big as a sundial.
Nothing could be seen on the surface of the round stone platform. When Yan Yan touched it, he could feel something carved on the round stone platform under his hand.
As for what was engraved, she didn't bother to look.
The empty yard did not interest her, so Yan Yan still went to his mansion to take a look.
The mansion is very big. From the courtyard gate, it looks like a house in the market. The furniture is still in good condition, but it has not been inhabited for a long time, and it is full of weeds and cobwebs.
The pond in the backyard was also dead, and there were a bunch of dead fish in it.
What Yan Yan cared about most was the restaurant. As soon as she entered the courtyard of the restaurant, she frowned.
It smells like rotten meat and vegetable leaves.
The meat on the chopping board got worms at some point, and I haven't finished eating that piece of meat yet.
In the vegetable basket on the side, the rotten vegetable leaves turned yellow and rotten.
"Tsk." Yan Yan walked out of the restaurant in disgust.
It seems that we should go to a restaurant for a meal.
There is nothing to see in the main hall. The teacup on the table is covered with cobwebs, and a spider is still biting the remaining tea stains inside.
Yan Yan conveniently picked up the lid of the tea cup next to him and put it in the tea cup for Spider.
The lid of the teapot in the tea room is open, and there are tea leaves in it, but no water has been added yet.
There were sundries and things belonging to the servants in the side room. The quilt on the couch had not been folded yet. It was covered with dust and the pattern of the quilt could not be seen.
When we came to the side room, there were still jewelry on the dressing table, but they were all patinated.
There is a wardrobe full of dresses in the closet, but they are all dirty and stained with brown and black stains.
Passing through the verandah, Yan Yan took down a paper lantern, and the candle inside was half burned.
Passing by a small courtyard, there was a swing standing inside. When Yan Yan walked past the door of the courtyard, the swing began to sway in the absence of wind.
Yan Yan heard the noise and ignored it.
Then they passed by a yard with a rocking horse, and when Yan Yan walked past, it started to move "squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak".
Yan Yan kept walking and still didn't pay attention.
When they came to a pavilion in a bamboo forest, Yan Yan swept away the dust on the bamboo bench with a wave of his sleeves and sat down.
There was no wind outside the bamboo forest. As soon as I sat down, the surrounding bamboo forest moved with the wind and made a rustling sound.
Yan Yan raised his head and looked at the sky.
The sun was almost setting, and now only the afterglow remained.
Yan Yan raised his left calf to his right thigh, put his elbow on his leg and supported his chin.
He closed his eyes and yawned.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered the roast duck legs she saw on East Street.
I can even recall the aroma of roasted duck legs.
At that time, she was deceived by some charlatans, and in the end she didn't even have a house, and she wasn't even in the mood to eat.
Now that I have found the mansion, I want to have something to celebrate.
When Yan Yan felt that she had been waiting for a long time to open her eyes, the afterglow in front of her had not yet set.
She stared at the dark sky for a long time and stood up angrily.
No more waiting, anyway, when she comes back in the evening, we can see what tricks this ghost house can play.
-
In a restaurant on the main street of Yunze City.
Xing Juzhan, the second young master of the Xing Mansion, and the other young masters left the restaurant in a drunken state after eating and drinking.
Xing Juzhan doesn't drink well and drank three glasses of wine. Fortunately, he only drank two glasses tonight. Although he can't tell the difference between east, west and north, at least he can still walk.
But by the time the boy drove his horse to the restaurant, Xing Juzhan was already confused.
The Xing Mansion's residence was on South Street. Xing Juzhan walked south in a daze, tying his legs in a knot and heading towards North Street.
I walked and walked, I don’t know how long I walked.
There were no houses around, so he walked into an alley without realizing it. There was a courtyard wall on both sides of the alley. The gray-black courtyard walls made him confused.
The apparently straight road looked like kelp to him.
My feet were soft and I would fall every step I took.
As I walked and fell, I came to the door of a house.
Two lanterns hung at the door of the house, illuminating Xing Juzhan enough to finally see clearly what was in front of him.
He knocked on the door of this unknown house as if he had lost his mind.
I felt offended in my heart, but I kept using my hands.
The door of the mansion opened, and the concierge inside pulled the door back. There were no lanterns and no light in the courtyard. The upper half of the concierge's body was hidden in the darkness and he did not speak. When Xing Juzhan entered the mansion, he closed the door.
Now there was no light coming from the alley, and the concierge's entire body was now hidden in the darkness, with only one pair of feet exposed.
Xing Juzhan stared at those feet, staring at them, when the toes of those feet suddenly turned back.
He quickly rubbed his eyes, and when he looked over again, the feet were facing him again.
Xing Juzhan shook his head, feeling that he had drunk too much.
"Wha—" A red light shone in front of his eyes.
In the red light, he saw a graceful figure dancing gracefully.
Xing Juzhan couldn't help but be fascinated by that figure and walked towards her.
Sensing someone coming behind her, the woman's dancing body turned to Xing Juzhan, her face covered with sleeves, and her eyebrows looked at Xing Juzhan.
The woman only showed affection in her brows and eyes, and her face was even more rare and beautiful, which made Xing Juzhan lose his soul for a moment.
"Sir." The woman put down her sleeves, folded her hands and saluted him.
His whole face was exposed, and he was even more shocked. Xing Ju's heart was filled with color, and he stepped forward to help the woman up, and then held her in his arms.
He held her slender waist, and it seemed as if there was nothing inside through the gauze skirt. Xing Juzhan felt affection for her, and he did not dare to use force on her.
The woman raised her water sleeves and put them around his neck. The water sleeves hung from behind him to the ground.
Standing on tiptoes, the woman came closer to him. Her breath was like an orchid, and Xing Juzhan was immersed in it.
When he was confused and lowered his head to get closer to the woman, she turned around and left in his arms.
Dance again under the red candlelight.
This feeling of nearness and separation captured Xing Juzhan's heart and soul.
He couldn't help but step forward and take the dancing woman into his arms again.
The woman smiled coquettishly, and every smile made him unable to extricate himself.
"Master, would you like to marry a little girl?" The woman bit Xing Juzhan's earlobe and whispered, her breath drifting into his ears.
Xing Juzhan's eyes lost focus and he nodded unconsciously.
The woman raised a smile on her lips, pulled out a strand of hair and tied it around his wrist.
"Young master, please remember that the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the night we get married."

After Yan Yan had eaten and drank on East Street, he returned to the mansion with a jug of wine.
As soon as I stepped into the alley, I heard footsteps coming from behind.
Yan Yan was stunned.
It turned out to be the sound of human footsteps.
In this place, which is even more unlucky than a cemetery, there are still living people coming?
She turned around and met the visitor.
The person who came was a man, good-looking and handsome.
It's just that Yintang is black, his body is covered with black energy, his eyes are out of focus, and he looks like a walking zombie.
Yan Yu was in front of him, and he continued to move forward as if he hadn't seen her. If Yan Yu hadn't turned sideways, the man would have stepped over her feet.
The man was seen walking forward in a daze.
Yan Yan was thoughtful.
It seems like her mansion is the only house in this alley, right?
Did this man come to find her?
Yan Yan followed the man. When he was approaching the door of the house, Yan Yan paused and jumped onto the wall of her courtyard.
Before she left, there was nothing in her house, let alone the red lanterns on both sides of the house door.
What was brighter than the lantern at the gate was the courtyard, which was filled with red light, redder than the afterglow she saw in the evening.
The red candle lamp was so red and black that the faces looked like ghost faces, which was eerie and terrifying.
What I care most about is the word "Dian" on the red lantern.
The man walked to the door of the mansion, which slowly opened. Yan Yan lay on the wall of the courtyard and saw a male ghost who opened the door.
The mouth was so round that the lips were split and bloody, and the mouth was dark with no tongue.
Looking further down, you can see that the toes of the male ghost are backwards, with the body facing forward and the toes facing backward.
When the man passed through the gate of the mansion, his clothes changed and he changed into a wedding dress.
