PNB Chapter 8 Old House [3]
Chapter 8 Old House [3]
In the afternoon, the store manager came to change Xiaolong’s shift. Su Chi told the story of the chicken. The store manager almost dropped his jaw in shock. He hurriedly took out the keys, and refused to approach the chicken that was favored by the ghost again and again. He urged Xiaolong to return the chicken quickly.
Xiaolong was extremely reluctant to return the chickens, until the store manager promised to buy two more chickens for her, and she finally agreed to deliver the chickens herself.
When Xiaolong walked out of the supermarket with the chicken, Su Chi suddenly felt worried, and chased after a few steps and ordered: "Be careful, go early and return early."
The store manager was mentioned by Su Zhi, and he was worried when he remembered that Xiaolong was going to a haunted house, "... Otherwise, Xiaosu, you can go with her, Xiaolong is still young, not as stable as you, with you here , I am also relieved."
When Xiaolong heard this, he happily took Su Chi's hand and held on.
Su Chi said helplessly, "She's older than me..."
The store manager was far away, so he didn't hear the words clearly, so he just waved and said with a smile, "You two go early and come back early!"

The taxi stopped on the side of the national road, and the driver pointed to the narrow gravel-covered mountain road ahead and said, "The car can't get on, you can only start walking from here."
Xiaolong took out the tied hen from the trunk, looked at the endless mountain road, and said angrily, "So far?"
Su Chi got out of the car and was dumbfounded for a moment facing the steep and rugged mountain road.
Xiaolong sighed and said, "Let's go, let's go until September [-]th, and wait until the Double Ninth Day, and we'll have chrysanthemums when we come."
Su Chi squinted at the girl who didn't even speak according to common sense, and said nothing.
As the sky gradually darkened, Xiaolong carried the hen up the mountain and asked, "Why don't you usually sleep, but why don't you wake up when you sleep? Have you always been like this?"
Su Chi replied: "This is beyond my control."
"I see." Xiao Cage said, "If you could control it, you wouldn't be sleeping on the floor."
Su Chi remembered another thing and asked, "How did you know my family?"
"Oh, I saved your father's life." Xiaolong said calmly, and Su Zhi heard it, but was so startled that he stopped immediately.
"You saved my father?" Su Chi asked in surprise, "How? How old were you at that time?"
Xiao Long shook his arms and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I am a four-faced child, and it is not surprising that anything happened to her." She paused, then suddenly filled with righteous indignation: "Your father has never been here. Have you ever mentioned me as a savior before you? This bastard old man! See if I see him next time, I won’t beat him to death!"
Su Chi frowned and said, "Then you are also very clear about my father's lineage?"
"Oh, anyway, I know he's not an earth creature," Xiao Cage looked at Su Chi and said, "You can't control your sleep because although you inherited your mother's human blood, you were still affected by your father's beast blood." Genetic influence, right?"
"It's not just influence, it's chaos." Su Chi said: "Father is not an earth creature, but he can become any earth creature. Although my elder brother and I are twins, he inherited the ability and ability from my parents. Talent, the rest of the messy genes, became me, so I had no control over my own body."
"Is it chaotic?" Xiao Cage said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I am also the product of my parents' chaos."
Su Chi whispered, "I just want to live an ordinary life."
Xiao Cage changed the subject and said, "Then what about your parents? Why aren't they by your side?"
"They have more important things to do." Su Chi replied.
"It's more important." Xiao Cage said with a smile, "You and I are really similar."
The two of them walked up the mountain while talking, and finally found the family before night fell.
"Oh my god, is this their home?" Xiaolong pointed to a single-family farmhouse under the twilight in the evening, and said depressedly: "Strange, strange, so strange."
The farmhouse looked dilapidated and dilapidated, there were no other houses around, and half of the low brick wall in the yard had collapsed.
Su Chi said: "I also find it strange that this house is so badly feng shui, it is simply the worst house I have ever seen."
"You know Feng Shui?" Xiao Cage asked in surprise.
"I've read it in the book, so I know a little bit about it." Su Chi pointed to the house and explained: "This house is located under the steep slope of the mountain. Accident. There are mountains on all sides of this house, covering the sky and the sun, and it has not seen the sun for a long time. Look at the only road under our feet. The mountain road is curved, but it goes straight to the gate, and the sickle cuts the waist. Good luck. There is actually a temple in the distance behind the house, the temple is condensed, and living too close will cause trouble."
Xiaolong hesitated outside the yard for a while, then turned around and said solemnly: "This house is too sinister, there must be something weird inside, we should not go in."
Su Chi didn't intend to go in at first, but she said, "Put the chicken at the door and ask the old man to come get it himself."
Xiaolong nodded, put the chicken down, and shouted outside the yard: "Hey! Is anyone home? Hey! We're here to deliver the chicken! Your chicken! Chicken!"
Xiaolong yelled a few times, the sky was getting darker and darker, but there was no movement in the farmer's house.
Xiao Cage looked at Su Chi and asked, "What should we do next?"
Su Chi replied: "Throw the chicken into the yard and return it to the original owner. It is the utmost benevolence and righteousness."
Xiaolong nodded, untied the frightened hen, and threw it into the yard in one breath.
The hen turned a few somersaults in the yard, dazed, and stopped in the center, looking at Su Chi and Xiaolong nonchalantly.
"Let's go." Xiaolong clapped his hands and said with a satisfied smile.
Su Chi turned around first, and within a few steps, the door of the farmhouse behind him suddenly opened, and the old man who was looking for chickens from thousands of miles crawled out with difficulty. He raised a hand tremblingly, and yelled: "... help... Help..."
Xiaolong turned around to help her up, but Su Chi stopped her and shook her head slightly.
"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Cage could only stand outside the courtyard and asked loudly.
"I broke my leg when I fell from the bamboo ladder, and I have been unable to find anyone to help me. Please help me, I beg you to help me!" What's the matter, I don't feel well anywhere on my body! Little sister, please help me!"
"Nonsense! Is it comfortable to live in such a gloomy old house?" Xiao Long shouted at the old man, "Can you still go?"
Su Chi grabbed Xiaolong, frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
"I can't do nothing. I'll check the situation and find a way to get the old man out. If the old man stays here, he will surely die." Xiao Long whispered to Su Chi, "You stay here, why don't you stay here?" Don't go there either, especially don't go into that house."
Su Chi nodded.
Xiaolong walked directly through the small courtyard from the site where the courtyard wall collapsed, and walked a few steps to the front of the house with long legs.
Su Chi stood just outside the wall, looking at Xiaolong with some anxiety.
Xiao Long leaned over and grabbed one arm of the old man, helping him up.Leaning on Xiaolong's shoulder, the old man carefully stood up and asked timidly, "Can you help me in?"
Xiao Cage directly refused, "I won't go in, so don't you either."
The old man begged: "I can't walk with my feet at all. Just help me into the house and sit down. It's very close and won't delay you."
"You can't go in, I'm going to take you out of here." Xiao Long said.
"But this is my home, I have no other relatives, where else can I go?" the old man said with a sad face.
Xiaolong said decisively: "Then you can't live here any longer. Do you know that there is a problem with Fengshui in your house? Sooner or later, someone will die."
"What Feng Shui? I don't understand." The old man begged, "Even if you want to take it elsewhere, let me go in and get some money, pack two clothes, even if you don't want me to take anything else, let me take it with you." A picture of my old lady and my son, okay?"
The old man made the most sincere requests, and Xiao Long couldn't find any words to refute, so he reluctantly agreed: "...then you have to act faster, or later, when it's night, we must leave here."
"Okay, okay." The old man hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Su Chi stood far away, so she couldn't hear the conversation between Xiaolong and the old man, but when she saw Xiaolong helping the old man walk into the house, she quickly stopped her, "Xiaolong! Come back!"
But Xiaolong didn't respond and supported the old man and continued walking into the house.
She didn't seem to hear Su Chi's voice at all.
Su Chi turned around and ran to the gap in the wall. She climbed up the ruined wall and was about to jump into the yard when the yellow-haired hen Gu Gu Gu Gu who had been thrown into the yard at the beginning also jumped up the broken wall, flapping its wings on both sides. , anxious to flee.
Without thinking about it, Su Chi grabbed the yellow-haired hen and dragged it to his side.
The yellow-haired hen struggled hard.
Su Chi picked up the rope thrown by the small cage in the corner, tied the hen again, and pressed it under him.
The yellow-haired hen is nothing more than heartbroken, so she stopped struggling.
Su Chi raised his head in satisfaction, but was surprised to find that the last ray of sunlight on the roof of the farmhouse disappeared between the sky and the earth.
This mountainous area was completely plunged into darkness.
Xiaolong and the old man had already walked into the dark room, Su Zhi didn't care about anything else, stepped into the yard quickly, and chased after Xiaolong, but she had just walked through the yard to the front of the house, and the seemingly dilapidated door was actually heavy. The thick wooden door of the farmhouse closed tightly again.
Su Chi knocked hard on the wooden door and shouted, "Xiao Long! Xiao Long!"
There was no response from the door.
Su Chi pushed the door hard a few times, but the black lacquered door remained motionless, so Su Chi could only run to the small window on the side, hold the iron bar on the window, and look inside on tiptoe.
The ear room in the window is also so dark that you can't stretch your fingers out, and you can't see anything at all.
Su Chi put his face close to the window, widened his eyes and tried to see things clearly. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew out from the window, and slapped Su Chi's face like ice. Slide up and down.
Goosebumps popped up on his arm, Su Zhi rubbed his arm, and grabbed a black bug from his shoulder.
The bug had a black shell and a soft belly, and there were two dark red patterns on its back. Su Chi threw it under his feet, stepped on it unceremoniously, and crushed it.
