I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

While Fu Wenyu was stunned, the screams continued to come.

"Help, there's a ghost!"

"Brother Li, save me!"

"Brother You, help me, woohoo..."

"It's so scary--"

"Someone come quickly——"

Hearing the words 'Brother You, help me', Fu Wenyu felt a little complicated.

Because if he heard correctly, the words 'Help, there is a ghost' were shouted by 'Brother You'. The two had a feud over the story "Green Tea Cousin", and it was rare for the other person to know that the "Yin Yang Scholar" was him.

The city of Liuzhou is not big, and he would occasionally meet this 'Brother You' in other places later on, so Fu Wenyu still had some impression of his voice. Although the other party's voice changed greatly today because of the fright, he still heard it.

So this scares everyone who goes in?

Because the screams inside were so loud, Fu Wenhe, the steward of the 'Haunted House', Fu Wenyu's clan brother, also came out of the house next to him with two villagers and the doctor, and looked at the 'Haunted House' with a worried expression. direction.

After seeing Fu Wenyu, his eyes lit up and he walked over immediately.

"Wen Yu, it's great that you came over."

"Five young people came over just now. They said there were too many people elsewhere and wanted to play in this 'haunted house' first. As you said before, I will let the doctor take their pulse first and then explain what needs to be paid attention to."

Fu Wenyu nodded, "Yes, I need to explain the precautions first."

The 'Notes' are written on a board at the entrance of the 'Haunted House'. There are several items listed on it, stating that people with heart problems are not allowed to enter, people who are timid and easily frightened are not allowed to enter, the elderly, children and pregnant women are not allowed to enter, etc. . As for the other items, they are similar to what Fu Wenyu just said, mainly emphasizing that there are no "ghosts" in the "haunted house".

But now it seems that the effect of ‘notes’ is not very good.

Or maybe the ‘haunted house’ effect is too good.

Fu Wenhe was puzzled: "I told them all. After all, after you and Young Master Liu tried it out yesterday, you specifically told me that you would rather not let anyone in than let the timid ones in."

"Who knew they were just brave on the outside?"

Fu Wenhe is also a bold person.

When Fu Wenyu was preparing this 'haunted house', he was fully involved in the whole process, so he knew exactly what the secret passages inside were and when they would make what sounds.

He had played it several times himself, so he really couldn't understand how the five people inside could be so scared.

Isn’t this so-called ‘haunted house’ just some paper people and empty coffins? Those 'blood stains' are still made of cinnabar, because the smell of cinnabar is not strong, while chicken blood, duck blood, etc. will stink and can be contaminated by mosquitoes.

They are not scary things.

But hearing this sound, someone might be crying inside, right?

So he hesitated and said, "How about I go in and take people out?"

Fu Wenyu was also hesitant.

Finding someone was easy, just let Fu Wenhe in, but he was worried that the people inside would be further frightened if they saw Fu Wenhe who could 'live'.

After all, when people are frightened, they are very fond of thinking.

At this time, when Liu Changmiao heard these familiar screams, his face turned pale, as if he recalled something terrible, and for a moment he felt that his legs were weakening.

"Let's find the person. This haunted house is actually a bit scary."

Hu Zhizhou was a little surprised when he first heard the screams. Now after listening to the conversation between several people, he became a little interested.

"Is this the 'haunted house' you're talking about inside?"

Fu Wenyu smiled sheepishly, "Sir, this is the 'haunted house'." After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but emphasized, "There are really no ghosts in it, only three people pretending to be ghosts, but they don't will appear in front of the guests.”

Who knew that 'Brother You' and others would be frightened like this?

Thinking of this, he said to Fu Wenhe: "Wenhe, first ask someone to open the doors and windows to let in the light, and then ask the three people inside not to scare them."

Once the doors and windows are opened, the things inside can naturally be seen clearly, which can reduce the level of terror. When he first set up the haunted house, in order to increase the scary atmosphere, he specially asked people to cover the doors and windows with black cloth.

Now that the doors and windows are open, I believe they will be able to come out soon. This is to prevent the five people inside from mistaking the person entering as a "ghost that is chasing after them" and causing something to happen.

Sure enough, as soon as the doors and windows were opened, the screams inside became much quieter.

"You, Brother You, there seems to be light there!"

"We're not going to the underworld, are we?"

"What, what hell? It should be the exit, hurry up, hurry up!"

"Wait a minute, there are will-o'-the-wisps there -"

"Go, go, go!"

After a period of panic, five people ran out of the exit one after another, all in a panic. Some even lost the hairpins that tied their hair, and they were looking around with their hair disheveled.

Of course there are those who are scared and those who are happy.

Fu Wenyu saw two people who were obviously bolder and quickly realized that he was safe, and immediately shouted happily: "Come out, come out!"

"We finally came out hahaha..."

Seeing such a scene, Xie Juren asked curiously: "Hey, isn't that a boy from the You family?"

The old man pondered and said, "I remember that Dongli was a very brave kid. He ran outside without making a sound before, which made his father very angry. How come he is so scared now?"

Liu Juren looked carefully and recognized a person. "That seems to be the youngest son of Mr. Li. Well, I have never heard his father mention that his son is so timid."

Hu Zhizhou did not know these young people who had no power, no position and no fame in Liuzhou. He was relieved when he saw them all come out. He said curiously, "This is interesting. I remember that Fu Xiucai just said that there were no ghosts in it. Everything was just pretending."

At this time, You Dongli and others who had escaped from the haunted house also found a few people. You Dongli's eyes lit up when he saw Fu Wenyu.

"Mr. Fu, your 'haunted house' is too scary!"

Fu Wenyu had to laugh dryly, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's okay once you get out." You Dongli shook his head, and then he turned his eyes and saw that Mr. Xie and Mr. Liu had also come, and the two of them and Fu Wenyu were standing behind a young man.

At this time, Mr. Xie said: "Dongli, why don't you come to see the prefect."

He turned out to be Hu Zhizhou!

You Dongli and others hurried over to greet him. The man named Zhang with disheveled hair still looked frightened. He was pulled forward before he knew to come forward. And perhaps thinking of the shouting inside just now, the expressions of several people on the way over were a little uncomfortable.

Hu Zhizhou exempted them from the greetings and asked: "Is it really that scary inside?"

This sentence seemed to turn on a switch, and the faces of the five people began to turn pale again.

"It's scary!"

"There's blood, blood everywhere."

"The coffin will open."

"The head fell down and fell right in front of me."

"There's a ghost in the cabinet, and the ghost can talk!"

"Yes, yes, yes, and there's a ghost fire, a floating ghost fire!!"

Finally, the five pale-faced people said in unison, "It's scary, it's really scary." "It's really scary inside." "Don't go." "It's really scary."

Fu Wenyu was speechless.

But Hu Zhizhou was a little excited, and then he turned to Fu Wenyu and said, "I wonder if we can go in and take a look?"

Fu Wenyu thought that instead of letting them be suspicious and tell others everywhere that there are ghosts in the 'haunted house', which makes this place deserted, it's better to take them around openly.

So he nodded and agreed.

However, for the sake of safety, especially since there are parents like Hu Zhizhou and the elderly Xie Juren among these people, Fu Wenyu asked people to bring lanterns, and specifically asked them to bring the brightest ones.

After the lanterns were brought, he walked in front.

The entrance to the ‘haunted house’ is a narrow corridor, with some cinnabar splashed on it to pretend to be blood, and several ‘bloody handprints’ of different sizes were also pasted on it, which looked a bit scary.

But Fu Wenyu explained as he walked, “These are not real blood, but cinnabar mixed into ink, and they are just sprinkled on it to scare people.” Modern haunted houses use paint, but Fu Wenyu thinks that the ancient lacquer has a strange smell, and it can be recognized at a glance and cannot scare people, so he deliberately changed it to cinnabar.

Besides, cinnabar can ward off evil spirits.

‘Brother Li’, who was squeezed in the middle of the crowd, reached out and touched it, and then whispered, “So, it’s really not blood, it’s scary.”

After passing this not-so-big corridor, you will enter the real ‘haunted house’.

At this time, the guests’ mood was also exaggerated by the ‘bloodstains’, ‘bloody handprints’, and ‘the dark corridor without any light’ on the way in, and entered a somewhat scary atmosphere. So when everyone walked past the corner of the corridor, they saw a smiling paper man specially placed by Fu Wenyu.

Because the tiles above the paper man were moved a few times and replaced with several sheets of oil paper, the hazy sunlight just shone on the stiff face of the paper man, with red and round cheeks, pale and curved lips!

I don’t know who made a short "ah——" sound.

Fu Wenyu didn't believe it, walked over and lifted the lantern to the face of the paper man to explain, "Look, this is just a simple paper man, nothing special."

So the few people continued to walk down.

Seeing the red coffin also illuminated by the hazy moonlight from the roof, Li Bing trembled and said, "Right, right here, this coffin will open by itself, there is no one inside!"

Fu Wenyu walked over and fumbled around, then found a rope from the top of the coffin, "This coffin is specially made, with a hole carved at the joint, so that the lid of the coffin can be opened by pulling it. As for who pulled it, the wooden wall behind is empty, and there is a person hiding inside."

Seeing a large wooden pillar, 'Brother Zhang' trembled, "Yes, there is a ghost inside!"

"I was standing in front of this pillar at the time, and then I felt a ghost blowing at me. He wanted to blow out the two fires on my shoulders and possess my body!"

Fu Wenyu knocked on the pillar, "It's empty inside, there is someone."

Come to a place with tattered curtains hanging.

Several people said, "There are heads here." "Yes, yes, a head will fall down." "No, there are more than one head!" "They will also drip blood!" "It must be because they died unjustly, so they are looking for a replacement!"

This was also the place where Fu Wenyu and Liu Changmiao were so frightened that when they came in together, the other party screamed and hid behind him. It was also the place where Fu Wenyu was most satisfied.

So he tugged on a certain curtain...

"Ahhh, the head fell off!"

"Heads ah ah ah -"

"Dad, help me!!"

The brave ones were also startled by Fu Wenyu's sudden action. Fortunately, they already knew it was a fake, and now the doors and windows were wide open, and everyone was carrying lanterns, so after being frightened, they all discovered these 'heads' After seeing the clues, my mood naturally calmed down.

Liu Juren, whose heart was also pounding, pushed his son who was hugging him, and said angrily: "Open your eyes and take a closer look. It's just some wood, with eyes and mouths painted on it at most. Is it worth being so scared?"

"Wood, wood?"

Liu Changmiao opened his eyes and took a look and found that the 'fallen head' was really made of wood. It had a face and half of a bleeding neck carved on it, and eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth were also painted on the face. Coupled with the wig on the top of the head, it looks like a very realistic fake human head.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Fake, fake?"

"It's fake," Fu Wenyu affirmed: "These wooden heads were made by someone, because the paper will break quickly. The wig is the same as the white wig in "Elixir of Life". Specially made.”

"There are three 'human heads' here. If you accidentally pull the corresponding curtain, one will fall. One of them will be soaked in water every day, so you will feel that there is 'blood' on the head. dripping down."

These are common scary scenes in ‘haunted houses’.

Hu Zhizhou stepped forward and circled around the 'head', "Interesting, this is really interesting." Then he looked at Fu Wenyu and said, "Fu Xiucai, where are the other two?"

Fu Wenyu pointed to two places respectively.

Hu Zhizhou walked over and pulled it, and two more 'human heads' fell out, one of which was still very wet.

Under the horrified eyes of others, he touched the black hair that was still dripping with water, then brought it to his nose to smell it, and nodded: "Yes, it is indeed clean water."

Xie Juren was also very courageous, "I'll come and have a look too."

He also picked up a 'human head' and looked at it, and then said: "It's good, it's a good painting. It's very bright in the room now. If it were replaced by a black light, I would be shocked."

Liu Juren shook his head: "I won't read it."

As for You Dongli and the other five people, as well as Liu Changmiao, some looked at them curiously, while others closed their eyes tightly without even looking at the 'head'. It was obvious that they had been frightened just now.

You must know that these three 'heads' are hidden in different places. If you are lucky, you will only encounter one, but if you are unlucky, all three will fall one after another. After all, no one in a panic would remember not to touch things in the haunted house, especially in a place with many curtains, so they would just grab them randomly.

It's obvious that he was scared.

After seeing the scariest "head", they went to see paper figures that suddenly fell to the ground, a section of road that made footsteps, walls that made "dong dong dong" noises, "will-o'-wisps" floating in the air, and Wooden cabinets that make a sound of "You...sit...to...I...have..." etc.

These are purposely made.

Among them, the paper man is a mechanism similar to an 'automatic opening coffin', but this time the mechanism is set on the floor somewhere, and the paper man will fall to the ground when stepped on.

The sound of footsteps and the noisy walls indicate that there are people walking on the walls. After all, there are not many people in a haunted house. In order to achieve better effects, some people need to be fixed in one place, while others have to play back and forth. The same goes for wooden cabinets that make noise because someone is hiding in them.

All in all, there are no ghosts in the haunted house.

So after all the mechanisms were explained, Fu Wenyu spread his hands and said, "Right, these are not scary, they are all lies, and if you look carefully, you can find many things that are wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Wenyu saw several people looking at him with strange expressions.

Among them, Liu Changmiao and several others who were the most frightened had their eyes widened, as if he had said something scary.

This made Fu Wenyu hesitate.

Is this ‘haunted house’ really scary?

Probably, not really...
