After simply eating dinner, the sky will be dark.
Everyone has returned to their respective rooms to prepare for rest, and Lin Qiu Shi and Gu Longming are no exception. Lin Qiu Shi simply washed in the room and did not rush to go to bed, but stood by the window and observed the opposite room.
Yesterday, the baby was crying, just opposite them. Those rooms lived in two groups, that is, four, and Lin Qiu Shi’s room moved in the middle of the night, just in the middle of them.
After the day's inspection, Lin Qiu Shi did not find any strangeness in those rooms, except for the small holes on the window paper that are easily overlooked.
The windows here are separated into small pieces by wood. The top is glass and the bottom is paper. Lin Qiu Shi can stand outside the window and see the outside through the glass, but if you sit down, nothing can be seen.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Longming lying in bed looked over and looked at Lin Qiuishi.
"I want to see how the room is different from ours." Lin Qiushi said, "You should sleep first."
Gu Longming said: "Let's get together."
Lin Qiushi said: "I will do it alone, not for too long, you sleep first, anyway, if you are awake, you can't help."
Gu Longming squinted at Lin Qiu-Shi and did not insist: "Okay." He yawned and turned over. In less than two minutes, he actually fell asleep.
Looking at him, Lin Qiu Shi couldn't help but think of the candle in the south of the country... The effort to sleep in the south of the candle is also first-class, but then again, the person who went to work with him as a task seems to sleep relatively fast. No exception.
The night was heavy, the cool wind hit the corridor, and the lantern hanging on the corridor was crumbling.
When the fire is bright, Lin Qiu Shi can only see the scenery of the outer corridor through the darkness. He looked down at his watch and it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, almost as early as midnight.
Lin Qiuishi is ready to wait until twelve o'clock. If there is no change in the opposite room, go back to bed and sleep.
Thinking about it, Lin Qiu Shi noticed the end of the opposite corridor. I don’t know when a red figure appeared. The figure slowly moved in the darkness. When it was under a lantern, Lin Qiushi finally saw it through the light of the lantern. What the red figure is.
It turned out to be seven or eight children in red clothes. They stood on the shoulders of the people in front, hung their heads and moved slowly step by step. I don't know if it is too far away, Lin Qiu Shi does not know what they look like, but judging from their walking posture, these children are obviously not human.
They lined up slowly and walked forward. When they walked under a window, they suddenly stopped. The first child showed a weird smile with the pale face and slowly turned to face. The window, tiptoe, and a small finger, pulled out a small hole in the paper on the window, and then put the face on the hole.
Lin Qiu Shi saw this scene, and there was a layer of white hair sweat on his back. He finally understood the window of the room he had changed before. Why did he have so few small holes... If he didn’t bring the baby Come out, there is no room change, then the little devils will see them from the end of the window paper.
Those things seem to have found no one in the house, then turned and went to the next room. Lin Qiu-Shi remembers that the room was occupied by people, so he saw that the children had poked a hole and turned into a water. They followed the hole in the window paper and flowed into the room.
Some of this happened quietly, but in the twinkling of an eye, the corridor was restored again.
Lin Qiu-Shi thought of what happened during the day, and read the clues several times in his mouth: "Scorpio, cellar, my family has a crying lover, the past guests read three times, and sleep to the big sky..." After reading it three times in a row, I was about to go back to bed and sleep, but I saw a woman’s back in the middle of the yard. The woman is wearing a long red dress with long black hair and looks like the hostess who received them during the day.
She stood there quietly, facing the room where the children entered, and the indifferent back was like a solidified statue.
Lin Qiu-Shi didn't want to look any more. He turned carefully and walked toward the bed. However, he just sat on the edge of the bed, but there was a bright light in front of him. Lin Qiu Shi revealed the faint color and found that the oil lamp on the table did not know why he was pointing.
The light of the oil lamp illuminates the whole room, and in the night it undoubtedly attracts the attention of everything - good or bad.
Between the electric and the flint, Lin Qiu Shi flew to the front of the oil lamp, and refused to take care of the other. He reached up and picked up the lampshade and quickly covered it on the oil lamp.
The fire of the oil lamp was extinguished instantly, but Lin Qiushi’s body was frozen. He felt a gaze, a sight that came in from the outside of the window. He was half-squatting and didn't dare to straighten up. He was worried that the outside would see him.
I don't know if Lin Qiushi is too nervous, or what, he even heard the slight noise from the outside breeze blowing over the skirt.
Then, something slowly rubbed on the window paper. After a while, a finger coated with red nail polish smashed the thin window paper.
Lin Qiu Shi was kneeling beside the window, just in the corner of the hole, but the people inside the hole could not see him, but he could see the people inside the hole - a black eye appeared behind the window, not good Peeping into the house and searching for the target.
Gu Longming on the bed was still breathing evenly and was not awakened by all this.
Lin Qiu Shi held his breath and tried to make his sense of existence low.
The eyes were seen outside for a long time. In the end, Lin Qiu Shi, who was lying in the corner, was not found. She sighed with some regret and slowly removed her eyes.
But Lin Qiu Shi did not dare to move, he had a feeling that this thing is still in the vicinity of the house...
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the black eyes appeared again. If Lin Qiu Shi began to believe that she had left, I am afraid that it would be seen by this thing. As for what will happen, it is unknown.
Still did not find Lin Qiu Shi, black eyes revealing the anger and unpleasant taste, Lin Yushi's yard came outside to make a more loud voice, the owner of the black eyes heard the sound, then disappeared behind the window paper.
Lin Qiu Shi was stunned for a long time in the same place. After confirming that the outside things had left, he slowly stood up from the ground. His legs were numb and he returned to the bed.
Gu Longming is still asleep, and does not know what happened just now.
Lin Qiu Shi breathed out a sigh of relief, lying on the side of Gu Longming's side, thinking of the children and the hostess of the yard, he always felt that there are hidden clues in this yard.
If the average person experienced the scene just before, he couldn’t sleep, but the rich experience of passing the door made Lin Qiu-shi quickly calm down. He closed his eyes and began to try to think back to the calm feeling lying beside the Minnan candle. Actually, I really fell into a sleep.
It seems that the sleeping pill of Minnan Candle is really very useful, basically I can fall asleep when I think about it.
On the third day, Gu Longming got up and slumbered Lin Qiuishi. He opened his eyes and saw Gu Longming yelling at him: "Good morning, didn't you encounter anything last night?"
Lin Qiushi said: "I met, I almost got cold."
Gu Longming: "... Are you serious?"
Lin Qiushi said: "Of course it is serious." He sat up from the bed and simply described what happened last night.
Gu Longming didn't take it seriously at first. When he heard that thing standing on the window and looked at him for a long time, he showed a terrified expression: "Where, she just watched me for one night?"
Lin Qiushi: "Almost."
Gu Longming said: "Fortunately, I wear pajamas." He shyly said, "If you are naked like at home, sleep..."
Lin Qiushi: "..." You may be dead.
Gu Longming made a joke and then he got serious and said, "So, do we still need to change rooms tonight?"
Lin Qiu Shi thought for a moment and said, "Go first for breakfast."
When it was time to eat breakfast, Lin Qiushi found that there were two people missing from the team. It was the two who lived in the room where the child stopped yesterday.
"The two of them were back last night?" Everyone was whispering about the two missing.
Lin Qiu Shi quickly solved the breakfast and made a look at Gu Longming.
Gu Longming hadn't eaten enough, and after stuffing his head into his mouth, he said vaguely: "Go away."
Lin Qiushi stood up and walked outside the house.
"Where are you going?" Someone was asking them.
"We used to look at their rooms." Lin Qiu-shi replied, "Look, they are still not there."
"I will be with you." Yesterday, Yan Shihe, who entered the ancestral hall after Lin Qiushi, also stood up. His partner Xiaoshi seems to be unwilling to go, but he finally did not say anything, and came along with him.
The four walked in the hallway, and Yan Shihe asked if they had heard anything last night.
"No." Gu Longming said very bluntly, "I sleep all the time to sleep until dawn, and I have not heard anything."
Lin Qiu Shi also shook his head.
"Oh." Yan Shihe nodded. "I heard the cries of the children last night... probably from the place where you lived. You should be careful at night."
Lin Qiu Shi heard that he did not speak. He did not hear any strange voice last night. In terms of his hearing, even Yan Shihe could hear it. He had no reason to listen.
Yan Shihe said that he was either cheating on them, or that he could only hear it when he cried.
As they spoke, they went to the door of the missing two people’s residence.
Lin Qiu Shi raised his hand and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, he found no movement inside.
"Go in directly?" Lin Qiu Shidao.
"Yes." Yan Shihe didn't mind, "but it seems to be locked inside."
Lin Qiushi said: "I will try it." He has started to work with the South Candles outside the door to learn how to open the door, but the progress is not too fast, and can not handle some more complicated locks. This old lock is still no problem at the moment. If it is really impossible to open it, it is OK to break into the door. Anyway, it is not difficult to really want to go in.
After a minute, the lock was opened.
Gu Longming cast an admirable look at Lin Qiushi: "Brother, you are so powerful, I believe now that you are unemployed."
Lin Qiushi: "..." He always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.
Yan Shihe reached out and pushed the door in front of him to show the scene inside the house. In the small bedroom, there was blood everywhere, but the blood did not seem to be splashed, but more like it was left behind after the tow.
There is no doubt that the owner of the room has been fierce at this time.
Lin Qiu Shi walked into the house and pretended to be inadvertently inspected and slowly walked over to the window. He saw the few holes again, but compared with yesterday, the mood of seeing the hole today is more complicated.
Yan Shihe was also very meticulous. He soon found a small hole in the window. He looked at the small hole and couldn’t find a clue. Instead, Gu Longming pretended to come up with a casual sentence: "How do I think of the fragrance in the martial arts drama?" Who will not kill them?"
Yan Shihe heard a look at Gu Longming.
Inside the house, there is a place that people care more about. Lin Qiu-Shi notices that there is no oil in the oil lamp placed on the table. This oil lamp was filled when they first checked in. It took two nights. It is impossible to run out. But the oil lamp in front of it has already burned to dryness, and I don’t know if someone has dumped the oil in the oil lamp, or for some other reason.
"The corpse, what about their bodies?" Looking for a circle inside the house, Yan Shihe did not see the bodies of the two men. He was a bit confused. "Even if you are dead, you should always see the corpse."
But the body was gone, the small bedroom, there is no place to hide the body.
"I don't know." Xiaochao replied, "Will it be eaten by those things?"
Yan Shihe frowned, no snoring. In fact, there is such a possibility. After all, anything can happen in the door.
Lin Qiuishi is also thinking about the body, but he wants to know more about where the hostess is.
It seems that there is no extra clue in the house. Instead, Gu Longming found a handprint of a child in a very remote corner. He did not say this in Yanshihe, but after the four separated. , quietly told Lin Qiu Shi.
"Well, I know." Lin Qiushi nodded. "Where do you think their bodies were taken?"
Gu Longming: "I don't know... It is not normal to kill such a thing without such a body?"
Lin Qiushi said: "It's not good." Gu Longming said that it is quite reasonable, but he just thinks that something is wrong. The intuition seems to tell him that the whereabouts of the body is very important, but this is only an intuition, but there is no evidence to prove it. This is like the experience of Minnan Candle, which is difficult to describe with specific words.
"Do you care so much, or are we looking around?" Gu Longming noticed that Lin Qiu Shi’s brows had been wrinkled and said, "There are still some places in the yard that we have not traveled."
"Let's find it." Lin Qiushi nodded.
The two began to wander around the yard again.
I have to say that this yard is very large, and the roads are set up in a mess, it is easy to get lost in it. Fortunately, Lin Qiu Shi’s memory is very good, and it is not difficult to shuttle with Gu Longming.
However, Gu Longming was full of fog and said: "Have we just walked here?" He remembered that the surrounding scenery seemed to be exactly the same.
"I haven't walked." Lin Qiushi said, "The stone that I just walked is smaller."
Gu Longming: "..." He stared at the stone and stared at the flowers. He didn't find that he was different from the one he just had, so he cast his admired eyes on Lin Qiushi. "You are really amazing... Can be found."
Lin Qiu Shi smiled and said nothing.
In fact, he used to have no such memory before, but since he entered the door, the memory began to get better. The memory of this fixed scene is completely difficult.
This yard is like deliberately getting lost. It is built in exactly the same way, even in both the grass and the rockery.
Lin Qiu Shi and Gu Longming spent a morning in the yard and finally found what they were looking for – they found the courtyard where the hostess lived.
Why is it sure that the hostess lives? Because Lin Qiuishi saw a red dress hanging on the treetops and swaying in the wind. He remembered that the dress was the one that the hostess wore last night.
"Do you smell anything?" Gu Longming squinted and pulled his nose. "Good smell."
Lin Qiu Shi also smelled it. It is a kind of taste that is difficult to describe in words. It is a bit like blood, and it is a bit like something rots. In short, it is very disgusting.
Fortunately, Cheng Yizhen is not here, otherwise it is estimated that it will be very uncomfortable.
The place where the hostess lives and the location where they are located are only separated by an iron gate, and the iron gate is half hidden, and the scene inside can be vaguely seen.
Lin Qiu Shi first observed it for a while.
It was a big yard, but the yard was empty, and no plants were visible except for a huge dead wood. The long dress worn by the hostess hangs on the top of the dead tree.
After confirming that there was no movement inside, Lin Qiu Shi gently opened the door and the two entered the yard.
After Lin Qiu Shi looked around, he soon found traces of blood in the corner of the yard. The traces seemed to be dragging from the ground, and the traces in the rooms of the two missing persons were very similar.
Gu Longming seems to dislike the yard very much, holding his nose with his hand and a look of disgust.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qiushi asked him.
Gu Longming said: "The feng shui of this yard is too bad. It is a place where the dead live."
Lin Qiushi said: "Where do we live in a place where the dead live?"
Gu Longming shook his head: "The more serious point here is that the normal house is better with Founder. The house here actually deliberately lacks a corner..."
Lin Qiu Shi took a closer look and found that the house here was really missing, and the corner was hardened into a circular arc, which looked strange.
The two of them were talking, and Lin Qiu Shi’s look changed.
Have up, someone came.
Then he found a corner and hid it with Gu Longming.
After a while, the hostess in red appeared in the doorway, her pretty face with an indifferent expression, did not find the existence of Lin Qiu Shi and Gu Longming, went to a certain room.
When she entered the house, Gu Longming sighed and whispered: "Scared me... Are we going to leave?"
Lin Qiushi said: "No, I want to see it in the past."
Gu Longming: "Looking at the past? Is it so dangerous to see?"
Lin Qiu Shi made a snoring gesture. In fact, after the hostess entered the house, he heard a very subtle sound. The sound was like a sharp blade cutting hard things, knives and creaking.
Although Gu Longming is very dissatisfied with Lin Qiu Shi’s past behavior, he still has no objection. Instead, he follows Lin Qiu Shi’s body and walks forward with a slap in the face. Although such a big man is really funny.
Lin Qiu Shi walked to the door of the hostess, sideways and looked carefully inside.
The hostess turned her back to them, holding a long knife in her hand, and was cutting her head with her head down. After carefully watching Lin Qiushi, she found that it was a big piece of meat... and it was clearly distinguished from the part of the rib. Part of the human body.
Obviously, the bodies of the two people who disappeared last night should be what the hostess is working on underneath.
And in the room where the hostess is located, there are some more strange things that attract Lin Qiuishi’s sight. It is a row of shelves, the shelves are filled with dense oil lamps, some of the oil lamps are empty, and some of the oil lamps are filled with solidified lamp oil.
The hostess sang songs and easily broke down a few pieces of meat. Lin Qiu Shi saw the parts belonging to the hands and feet and determined his own guess. I saw that the hostess started to ignite after separating the pieces of meat, and placed a pot of iron on the stove.
What is she going to do... Gu Longming asked Lin Qiu Shi silently with a horrified look.
Lin Qiushi spread his hands and signaled that he didn't know.
Gu Longming’s eyes were a little scared and he lowered his voice:
The trough, my mother’s meat during the day, won’t be...
Lin Qiushi: "...should not be."
Lin Qiushi’s tone is also hesitant, and obviously not sure. Thinking of the delicious food that I ate during the day, and the bone soup I drank last night, Gu Longming just wanted to spit it out on the spot. He tried to hold back and warned himself in his heart. Later, in the door, he still eats compressed biscuits and the like. Things are more insurance...
The hostess has already heated the pot and started to put a piece of meat in the pot. 2k novel reading network
