After hearing this, Su Keke thought thoughtfully and nodded towards the old man, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."
Uncle Chen ignored her, as if what he just said was not his.
It was still early, so the team members simply identified the place where they would stay, rested for a while, and then gathered together to inspect the mountain together.
"Teacher, look, there is an old house on the mountain over there!" A student suddenly shouted, pointing in the distance.
Everyone looked around and saw an abandoned house on the hill opposite, which looked like it had some history.
The archaeological team was originally engaged in archaeology. Now that they saw such an abandoned ancient house, they would naturally go and take a look.
Su Keke couldn't help but look at Qin Mochen, both of them had serious expressions.
"Girl, that house looks very wrong." Qin Mochen said.
Su Keke hummed, "But I've looked through it with my Dharma eyes, and I didn't see any evil energy. Maybe I can find something if I get closer."
The archaeological team couldn't wait to climb up the hill and took out their magnifying glasses to study the house.
"It's a house from the Ming and Qing Dynasties!" one person said.
Although it does not have a long history, it can still be regarded as a relic.
"Teacher, the door of this mansion is open, should we go in and take a look?"
"Yes, definitely! But be careful not to damage the cultural relics inside."
Su Keke noticed something was wrong as soon as she got closer. After looking around for a week, her eyes fell on the two red lanterns at the door of the house.
Although it was a red lantern, the red color of the lantern made Su Keke feel very uncomfortable.
"Wow, there are so many lanterns in the yard!" the first person to enter exclaimed.
The house is not empty. There are several ropes stretched in the yard, and various lanterns are hung on the ropes.
These lanterns are very beautifully made. The light pink lanterns are painted with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, chrysanthemums, and pictures of ladies, which are very elegant.
Qian Yunze stood under a lantern and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "This lantern is well made, but the painting on it still needs some heat."
As soon as he said these words, he clearly felt several voyeuristic glances, which did not belong to anyone here, but a kind of gaze that made people feel numb.
Qian Yunze seemed unaware and asked Su Keke who was not far away, "Keke, what do you think?"
Su Keke scratched his little face, "I'm a bad painter, so you can't tell it clearly, but intuitively, I also think Brother Ze's paintings are better than this."
Su Keke, who said this, soon felt the voyeuristic gaze, which made her expression freeze and she looked back without any trace.
Apart from these lanterns, there is nothing else in the yard.
Her eyes flashed.
"Uncle, do you know what material this lantern is made of? It looks like paper, but not like paper." Su Keke asked the man next to him.
"I don't know, but we can take down another one and study it."
The lanterns were hung relatively high, so Qin Mochen jumped up and grabbed one.
With his tug, all the lanterns on the rope began to sway.
"No need to pull it off, I'll just touch it." Su Keke walked up to him and gently stroked his fingers over the lantern.
As he touched it, Su Keke's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
...so smooth.
Originally, she had a bloody and bold guess in her heart, but now, the feeling was obviously different from what she had imagined.
Maybe she really thinks too much?
Su Keke stared at the lantern in his hand, trying to find other oddities in the lantern.
But, no.
Seeing her shaking her head, Qin Mochen couldn't help but said, "Maybe we can take another look at night."
Sometimes, what you see during the day and at night are different.
Things that can hide from the sky during the day are invisible at night and cannot escape the eyes of a pair of eyes.
"Some of these lanterns look like they have been there for a long time, but some of them look like they were newly made. Are there people still living in this house?" someone from the archaeological team suddenly said.
"Let me ask."
"Is there anyone? Excuse me, is there anyone here?"
Everyone asked while walking cautiously inside, fearing that someone really lived here and they would break into a house.
They asked for a long time, but no one answered.
no one there?
But the yard was cleanly cleaned and there were so many lanterns hanging there, it didn't look like anyone was living there at all.
Xiao Sun knocked on the door of the house, and with just a light knock, the door opened with a creak.
"Are we going in or not?" Xiao Sun looked back at everyone.
The leader, Professor Lin, thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'll go back and ask the villagers today. If I'm sure no one lives here, I'll come back tomorrow to have a look."
So, everyone left quietly.
Before leaving the house, Xiao Sun looked back at the door opposite and saw that the door was open a crack.
The gap was pitch black, as if something was tempting him to go there.
Xiao Sun rubbed his eyes and felt a weird urge to break in.
What's even weirder is that he clearly remembers that he closed the door when he left just now.
But just now there was no wind at all.
Xiao Sun suddenly shuddered, feeling that he was scaring himself. He hurriedly caught up with the others and never looked back. xdw8
After the archaeological team left, the lantern in the yard suddenly stopped moving automatically, swinging for a while.
When everyone went down the mountain, the sun also went down. Su Keke remembered what Uncle Chen had told him.
You must go down the mountain before dusk.
If they had pushed open that door and entered just now, they probably would have been too late.
"Strange, have you walked this road just now? I remember this stone." One person wondered.
"No way, this mountain is not that big, but we actually got lost?"
Su Keke looked at Master Zhou and said, "Master Zhou, use the compass."
Master Zhou's expression changed slightly, "You are suspicious."
Su Keke nodded.
Master Zhou took out a compass from his backpack. After shaking a few times, the pointer on the compass pointed out the correct direction.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Keke: "Little girl, you are thinking too much."
Su Keke didn't argue.
It was just a ghost hitting the wall. She had seen this thing so many times that she could tell it at a glance.
She didn't need a compass and could find the right direction with her eyes closed, but she didn't want to get ahead of Master Zhou, so she didn't get ahead.
The members of the archaeological team followed Master Zhou all the way down the mountain. This time, there was no obstruction and no strange things happened again.
Thinking of the ancient house on the mountain, everyone split up to inquire about the news.
However, whenever they asked about the house, the numb expressions of the villagers changed. They all shook their heads and said they didn't know, looking a little frightened.
"Uncle, please tell us if anyone lives in that house?" Xiao Sun grabbed the old man with twinkling eyes and refused to let go.
"I don't know!" The old man was so strong that he threw Xiao Sun away.
Finally, a middle-aged man passing by said vaguely, "Don't go to that mountain after dusk."
