Chapter 58 The Evil House
In Crescent Village, Xiaofeng's family lives at the east end of the village. Their one-and-a-half-room earthen house is many times better than the thatched houses of most aborigines.
It is really hard to imagine that they are outsiders who have fled the famine in recent years.
"This is Xiaofeng's family. See it for yourselves. Don't say that I brought you here."
An elderly uncle, who had taken the money to lead the way, was filled with fear and could not hide his eyes.
"Oh! Wait" and so on.
Before Qin Yi finished speaking, the other party ran away and disappeared.
Yun Xi looked at the direction in which the uncle disappeared, secretly admiring the other man's speed of life and death.
Qin Mufeng's eyes darkened: "Go in and take a look first."
Qin Yi pushed open the two wooden courtyard doors. The courtyard was quiet, and the thick spider webs made Yun Xi frown.
Qin Yi stood at the door of the house and looked at Qin Mufeng: "Master, do you want to go in?"
"who?"
Long Jiu's voice suddenly came from behind the house.
Everyone heard the sound and rushed over.
"What's wrong?"
Long Jiu stared at the window of a thatched house in the backyard and pursed his lips.
"Someone was peeping just now."
"Qin Yi, go take a look."
As soon as Qin Mufeng finished speaking, the family behind him closed the doors and windows in response to the situation, clearly refusing to visit.
Qin Yi looked back at him and his question was obvious.
Qin Mufeng's eyes were pitch black, like a whirlpool with unknown depth.
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Yun Xi told Qin Yi: "Let's go to the nearby area for a brief visit. Be careful not to surprise the fellow villagers."
As soon as Qin left, Yunxi saw that the door was unlocked, so she tried to push it, but failed, so she pulled it out harder.
"I'll come on, it's probably frozen."
Yun Xi stepped back a little, making room for Long Jiu to come out.
Long Jiu unsheathed his sword and cleared the snow under the door, then walked around the crack of the door with his sword, and then forcefully opened the closed door.
The dust that had been silent for a long time was stirred up and started to stir.
Yun Xi covered her mouth and nose with one hand and waved the other hand vigorously in front of her.
It can be seen from the well-organized living items in the room that this is a relatively wealthy family of three.
Judging from the traces of life, the owner of the house loves life very much.
The strange thing is that except for the ground, everything else is covered with thick dust.
The floor was cleaned not long ago.
This was the only answer Yun Xi could think of. Her pretty eyebrows frowned slightly, and a knot formed between her eyebrows.
Why? Is it just cleaning? Or is there something that has to be cleaned?
Just when Yun Xi felt puzzled, the clear sound of walking came from the inner room.
Long Jiu was afraid of danger and rushed into the inner room before Yun Xi.
Yun Xi followed closely behind, and he could tell at a glance that the small house was completely empty, not to mention anyone, not even a breathing creature.
Both the kang and the cabinet were covered with thick dust, but the floor was spotlessly clean.
The strange feeling in Yun Xi's heart became even worse.
Long Jiu looked at the only cabinet on the ground, his eyes narrowed, he stepped lightly and slowly leaned over...
Yun Xi subconsciously slowed down her breathing.
Just when Long Jiu reached for the cabinet door, the same footsteps as before sounded in the outer room.
Yun Xi reacted very quickly this time, turned around and ran out regardless.
The door to the empty outer room was wide open, and there were no footprints on the snow except the footprints they left when they entered.
Yun Xi felt a dark wind slowly creep up her back, giving her a strong sense of suffocation.
It's so weird. Could it be something dirty?
"This place is a bit evil, let's go out first." Long Jiu suggested with serious eyes.
"good."
Yun Xi walked out of the house and was blown away by the cold wind, and suddenly realized that the clothes on her back were soaked with sweat.
She took several deep breaths to calm herself down.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Qin Mufeng's sudden voice startled Yun Xi.
"You scared me to death."
Seeing her pale face, Qin Mufeng couldn't help but worry: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Yun Xi pointed at the house behind her and was suddenly speechless. She grabbed Qin Mufeng's arm and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
Qin Mufeng looked at the closed door in confusion: "Is there something scary in the house?"
Long Jiu's expression was solemn. He drew his sword out of its sheath and stood in front of Yun Xi, staring in the direction of the door with guarded eyes.
"There was the sound of someone walking in the house, but no one was there. We didn't close the door at all when we came out." And we didn't hear the door closing just now.
"Where are Qin Yi and the others?"
"I didn't bother you because you were thinking about something just now. I asked them to visit the fellow villager's house."
As soon as Yun Xi finished speaking, Qin Yi brought people back.
He didn't notice anything unusual in the atmosphere.
"Master, all the villagers around here have moved away. Except for the family in the backyard, there is no one left."
Yun Xi's body trembled subconsciously: "It's not really haunted, is it?"
Qin Mufeng saw that she was scared and hugged her directly: "Don't be afraid, Xi'er, there are no ghosts and gods in this world. The so-called ghosts are just ghosts in the heart."
Yun Xi, who had borrowed a corpse to bring back the soul, wanted to tell him: No, she herself is the best proof.
She had to hold back the words even before they came to her lips.
"Qin Yi, go in and see who is behind the scenes."
Qin Yi walked over with firm steps...
Long Jiu reminded him when he passed by him: "Be careful, there is indeed something evil in this house."
Qin Yi kept walking and didn't pay attention to his reminder.
Like Qin Mufeng, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.
He glanced at the door frame, confirmed that it was a door that was pushed inward, and pushed hard.
The door didn't move at all.
Qin Yi frowned and increased his strength.
The door still didn't move at all.
Qin Er behind him couldn't help but taunted: "Boss, you are not good, you can't even open a door."
Qin Yi took a step back and turned around to give him a "you go ahead" look.
Qin Er walked to the door and stood: "Boss, learn a little bit."
As he spoke, he pushed gently and the door opened.
"Boss, it's you as expected." He still loves acting as much as before.
Qin Yi's brows furrowed: "I didn't perform this time."
Qin Erqiang pretended to be calm. If he really wasn't pretending just now, then he just...
"Stop being funny, it's not funny."
The sound of "tap, tap, tap" could be heard clearly from the house.
Qin Yi pulled out the dagger he carried with him and rushed in without blinking.
Qin Er also reacted and rushed in.
The empty room was no different from when Yun Xi came in before.
Yun Xi and others saw with their own eyes this time that the wide-open door was closed again without any wind.
The difference is that the door slams a little louder this time.
Qin Yi and Qin Er, who were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the inner room, didn't think much about it when they heard the door closing. They just thought it was someone coming in again.
It wasn't until they heard familiar footsteps again and no one came in that they began to become suspicious...
