Seeing Chen Zhi's insistence, Fat Wei stopped talking, and Guidao and Liu Baobao naturally didn't say anything either.
So they gave up the well temporarily and followed Wu Hua down the mountain.
Wu Hua was walking down the road very fast, as if she wanted to escape from here immediately. It seemed that the memories left by this mountain for her were not very good~~
After returning to the old house, Wu Hua's mood gradually stabilized.
She stopped talking about the mountain well and started to light a fire to cook dinner for them. Only then did Chen Zhi and the others have time to visit the old house carefully.
Although it is said to be a B&B for external business, because it is located in a remote place and there are no scenic spots in the back mountains, there are almost no tourists staying here.
Chen Zhi and the others were the only guests now. While Wu Hua was cooking outside, Chen Zhi and Pang Wei searched every part of the house and the yard.
Wu Hua definitely didn't lie. This old house is indeed quite old. The floor tiles in the yard outside are all old, and there are strange patterns carved on the bricks. However, most of them are now so worn that they cannot be seen clearly.
Moreover, this yard must have been vacant for a long time. Many areas in the yard have not been cleaned and are covered with thick dust.
The wall near the back mountain is made of high black bricks. The bricks are very large and covered with wall grass.
Chen Zhi and Pang Wei climbed up, turned on the flashlight and checked every wall.
Finally, they found several special marks on the stone bricks at the top of the wall. They were able to identify these marks. They were marks of metal chains being rubbed together. They were cold metal weapons!
This kind of weapon was also used in Xiqi, but it has not been used for a long time. It is said that it was used in ancient times to attack cities and conquer territories.
When attacking the city wall, place clothes hangers and inverted rope racks from outside the wall. A steel rope can be passed through the middle of the rack. People can slide up the rope and then jump over the wall into the yard.
This is a very common practice...
However, the marks on the stone bricks at this time are a bit too shallow compared to ordinary ones.
In other words, the body flying in is very light, as light as a weightless ghost.
And these traces can be seen, that is, derivatives that have been left over between 20 and 30 years and have not risen too much.
It seems that just as Chen Zhi guessed, when Wu Hua saw her mother at the door, something dangerous might have entered the house.
Maybe her mother already knew that she was going to die soon, so she tried her best not to let her daughter in and kicked her out with a knife, just to protect her.
However, it is unknown what was in the house at that time.
First of all, it cannot be a thief trying to steal property. People in the mountains are basically poor, so there is no need to come here to rob property.
And even thieves would have a hard time jumping over such a high wall.
The most important thing is that Chen Zhi smelled a very strange smell here, a smell wrapped in witchcraft that was too old to be identified, but very strange.
For some reason, Chen Zhi felt shuddering whenever he smelled this smell.
Wu Hua's meal was quickly prepared and she called them over to eat.
For Chen Zhi and others, this is already a good meal of mountain game.
Wu Hua prepared a very sumptuous dinner, including chicken and duck, wild vegetable dumplings, fried mountain worms, fragrant adzuki bean rice, and a large bowl of thirst-quenching tea.
However, these mountain meals were still like poison to Liu Baobao. He pinched his nose before feeding him two big spoons.
I don’t know if it was because of my strong desire to survive, but I didn’t spit it out in the end...
Mountain people have the habit of going to bed early. After dinner, they go back to their rooms to sleep.
Because the rooms here vary in size, the hygiene level is certainly not comparable to that of a five-star hotel.
Liu Baobao is also extremely pretentious. Living in a dusty room will cause nose allergies, and he cannot live with others. He cannot smell the odor of other people's mouths, and he cannot hear the snoring.
So we finally discussed that Liu Baobao would live in a small single room by himself, while Chen Zhi and the three of them would live in a large room.
After Liu Baobao returned to the house, his voice soon disappeared. He must have gone to sleep.
But after Chen Zhi and the others entered the room, they all sat in the corner and no one went to bed.
The sky was getting darker and darker. They looked at the moon outside and waited for time to pass slowly. No one spoke.
They all know that something will happen tonight...
"Why, Orange.
Do you doubt that old girl?" Fat Wei asked in a very light voice.
"I'm fairly accurate in judging people, she doesn't look like someone who can lie!
That woman doesn’t have any scheming ideas, she’s a smart-mouthed person, so what she said should be true~~”
"I didn't suspect her of lying..." Chen Zhi replied softly:
"What I suspect is that part of her memory has been covered up or even tampered with.
She must have gone down into that well herself, but she forgot.
But the information in her memory is very useful to us and can determine our future journey!
So I’m going to use the Mind-Entering Technique on her tonight! Then I’ll decide what we should do next~~”
"Are you doubting that well?",
Ghost Sword said softly beside him,
"If you need me, I will go up the mountain and go down into the well to have a look!
I also suspect there is something else going on there.
I'll be back soon..." After finishing speaking, Guidao picked up the knife and left.
"No need!", Chen Zhi shook his head gently:
"What I'm worried about now is not the well, but what will happen after entering that well.
Even if that's the entrance, we have to find the key first.
and……,
I have been feeling lately that there is a potential crisis lurking around me.
That feeling is very strange...
It seems that there is an invisible enemy, an invisible force, always peeping at me in the dark!
It watched everything about me, watched me grow up and become the leader of the Jiang clan, watched me enter every god’s tomb, and duel with the ANBU! Finally, eradicate the ANBU!
This kind of power is very strange. Sometimes it looks like a human being, and sometimes it doesn't look like a human being at all. I can't tell what it is...
Sometimes I think it is fate, and sometimes I think it is something else..."
