The years of reselling the haunted house

"Everyone is gone, what hope is there?"

The third uncle said mysteriously: "Nephew, believe it or not, before dark, this woman will definitely call me back and negotiate with us obediently, according to what we said."

I said disdainfully: "You brag. I think her tone is so firm, it is impossible for her to consider us."

The third uncle waved his hand: "You are too young, nephew. I just hate her attitude. Fei Yao has been trying to sell this house for a year, and she has nightmares every night because of it. There are no contacts in the country, and all the affairs are entrusted to her assistant. She has been unable to make a move for a long time, and she is probably in a hurry. It is impossible for this woman not to pay attention to our appearance. I guess this assistant can't make decisions by himself. Go back Ask Fei Yao for instructions. When she calls back, we will have the initiative."

I nodded, picked up the 200 yuan that Xu Ruoxi had left behind, and said, "I hope. But it's not in vain, this woman returned the 200 yuan."

The third uncle glared at me: "Look at your potential, pay the bill, let's go for a walk on the street."

We spent almost a whole day in the teahouse, and Xu Ruoxi still had some money left after paying the bill.

My third uncle and I walked out of the teahouse, came to the famous ancient street, and walked down the street.

At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and there were only a few tourists left on the street. These tourists were also in a hurry, and it seemed that they all wanted to leave.

The ancient houses and houses on both sides are similar in shape, but they all reveal a kind of simplicity and accumulation of history.Walking on such a street, one can naturally feel the cold atmosphere.

The third uncle said as he walked: "See? Now the country pays more and more attention to the protection of this kind of historical sites. There are fewer and fewer such ancient houses, and their value must be higher and higher. In fact, if we take the murderous house of this house The situation is broken, and for the homeowner, it is much more cost-effective to offer a remuneration than to sell at a low price. So I am confident that Xu Xixi will definitely call back."

I smiled wryly and said, "Third Uncle, Xu Ruoxi, what an emotional name, I asked you to read it, what is Xu Ruoxi?"

The third uncle waved his hand: "No matter what, this woman is too arrogant, but she is used to being arrogant. If there is a chance, she must suffer and learn a lesson."

I looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, do you think Xu Ruoxi can still find us?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Third Uncle's phone rang.

The third uncle was excited, and said happily: "How is it? What did I say?"

The third uncle couldn't wait to answer the phone: "Hi, hello... Fuck, I don't speculate in stocks, and I don't manage money."

The third uncle angrily put down the phone, I suppressed a smile and looked at him.

But then, the phone rang again.

The third uncle answered the phone angrily, and shouted, "Didn't I tell you that I don't trade in stocks... huh? Assistant Xu, hello..."

As soon as I heard it, Assistant Xu really called. It seemed to be just as Uncle San expected.

This time the third uncle answered the phone with a much tougher tone. After talking for a while, he told Xu Ruoxi that we would leave the ancient street in half an hour.If you still want to continue the conversation, you can come over within half an hour with the contract, at the door of the teahouse.

After more than 20 minutes, a coquettish coupe drove over, and it was Xu Ruoxi who got out of the car.

After some negotiations, the third uncle asked for the price at 50.In other words, if we help solve the murder in the haunted house, the other party will pay us 50 as a reward.

50 is not a small amount, even if we deal with something as big as Tianyou Square, it is only 50 for us.I had no idea what the amount was, but what I didn't expect was that Xu Ruoxi nodded in agreement after only a short thought, and said that he could sign the contract immediately.It seems that she really got Fei Yao's instruction as the third uncle said.

The process of signing the contract went smoothly. The third uncle signed the contract with Xu Ruoxi on behalf of Dacai Real Estate Agency. The contract stipulated that the time to solve the murderous situation was ten days. Within ten days, Xu Ruoxi had to cooperate fully on behalf of Fei Yaofang.

After taking the contract with each other, my heart fell to the ground. If this is the case, at least the last time will not happen.But I know that we are going to burn the boat and give it a go.What the house is like is just hearsay, we haven't visited the site yet, and there is a lot of risk in it.

Xu Ruoxi glanced at us sideways, and said coldly: "Okay, you're almost cheated of the 50, it's nothing to do with me, I'm leaving." She took the contract and was about to leave .

The third uncle stopped her: "Assistant Xu, you have to tell us in detail about the dirty things in the house, so we can find a way to deal with them."

Chapter 54

Xu Ruoxi thought for a while, and then told us about the house at No. 14 on the ancient street.In the previous situation, what she said was similar to that guy, but she was far less vivid than the guy.It seems that the 200 yuan given to the guy is quite worth it.

What we are more concerned about is what happened after Fei Yao and his assistant entered the house for the second time.Now we also know that the assistant is Xu Ruoxi.

Thinking back, Fei Yao took Xu Ruoxi and the two women returned to the old house. This kind of courage is still very admirable.

But Xu Ruoxi told us that Fei Yao didn't mention what happened last night to Xu Ruoxi beforehand, so Xu Ruoxi didn't know the weirdness in this old house.Fei Yao just told her to go over and help pack things up and go to the hotel.

Xu Ruoxi recalled that when she followed Fei Yao back to the old house, Fei Yao seemed a little numb after entering the door.Emotions are also a little off.

Fei Yao seemed to be a different person, and her eyes were a little dull.

After Fei Yao went in, she began to search for things in every room and corner.She rummaged through the boxes and cabinets all over the floor. Xu Ruoxi was very surprised, so she went up to her and asked her what she was looking for.

But Fei Yao ignored Xu Ruoxi at all, and later Xu Ruoxi realized something was wrong, so he stepped forward to stop her.As a result, Fei Yao suddenly pushed Xu Ruoxi away.

At that time, Fei Yao's strength was so great that she pushed Xu Ruoxi staggeringly and almost fell to the ground.

Fei Yao has always had the temperament of a literati, and it is impossible to do this kind of behavior normally.

Xu Ruoxi was so frightened that she could only hide and look at Fei Yao.

Fei Yao searched through all the rooms, but couldn't find what she was looking for.Then she seemed to go crazy again, and rushed out of the old house to the outside yard.

There used to be two lilac trees planted in the yard, but after Fei Yao rushed out, she acted like crazy again and started tearing the leaves of the lilac trees.Then he stuffed the leaves of the lilac tree into his mouth and chewed them.

Xu Ruoxi watched all this in horror, completely lost her senses.

In the end, Fei Yao made a fuss, and slowly fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

Xu Ruoxi hurriedly sent Fei Yao to the hospital. After a series of examinations, she found that Fei Yao was in good health and there was nothing unusual.She also woke up the next morning.

When Xu Ruoxi asked about what happened last night, Fei Yao didn't know anything about it, saying that she wanted to go back to pick up a few clothes before going back to the hotel, but her mind went blank after entering the yard.I don't remember anything about what happened next.

This is a very unbelievable thing, which cannot be explained with common sense.The only thing that could be explained was that there was something dirty in the house, and after Fei Yao went back, she was bewitched by an evil spirit, or was upper body.

We waited for Xu Ruoxi to finish all this.

When Xu Ruoxi said these words, her eyes were still full of horror, as if everything she saw happened right in front of her eyes.

The third uncle thought for a while and asked, "You said she searched all the rooms, the room with the dressing table, has she been there?"

Xu Ruoxi recalled it for a while, then shook her head: "No. That room is on the second floor, and the only room she hasn't been to is that one."

The third uncle nodded: "It seems that there is something she is afraid of in that room. Maybe it's not her..."

The third uncle's words sounded a bit inexplicable.Xu Ruoxi and I didn't quite understand it.

The third uncle waved his hand: "Okay, we have almost understood the matter. The rest is for the three of us to go in and have a look, and see what is causing the trouble."

After the third uncle finished speaking, Xu Ruoxi was dumbfounded. She asked, "What did you say? The three of us? Are you kidding? The rest is your business. What does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. We don't know the terrain and layout of the room. Someone must guide us through this big night. And Assistant Xu, it's written in our contract, you have to cooperate with us fully. If If you don't cooperate well, it will be considered as a breach of contract." The third uncle said with a look of gloating.

"You...but this cooperation didn't say you wanted to enter that house..."

The third uncle smiled: "But I didn't say that I couldn't enter that house."

I stepped forward and explained: "Assistant Xu, my third uncle has dual identities. One is the boss of our company, and the other is a master who specializes in catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. With him around, he will be fine."

In fact, I really want to say that my third uncle has a third identity, that is, he is a professional scammer.

There was no need for Xu Ruoxi to go to the haunted house.I also understand the third uncle's intentions. He has long been unhappy with this Xu Ruoxi, and he wants to take this opportunity to teach her a lesson so that she will not be so domineering in the future.In addition, I want her to see for herself that we earned the 50 yuan through hard work, not by cheating as she said.

My third uncle and I sang together and coaxed Xu Ruoxi to No. 14 Gujie where the haunted house was located.

The buildings here are somewhat similar, and the overall layout is similar.They are all small two-story attics with a small yard in front.

This old-fashioned attic is different from our current villas.The front yard is very small and has walls.The walls of the courtyard are very high, covering everything in the courtyard tightly.

So you can't see what's going on inside through the courtyard wall and gate.

We stood outside the gate, looking at the dark attic. The outer wall of the attic was covered with ivy and other creeping vines.Looking at this house, I can't help but feel a little trembling in my heart.As soon as I got to this kind of place, I felt chilly all over my body.

But Xu Ruoxi was even more frightened. She kept hiding behind me, and I could feel her body trembling slightly.

At this time, I suddenly couldn't bear it, and wondered if it was a little unreasonable for us to bring her here.

But what the third uncle said is also reasonable, we haven't been to this place during the day, if there is no one who is familiar with the layout, it will be more troublesome.

The third uncle waved at Xu Ruoxi, Xu Ruoxi tremblingly took out the key, stepped forward and opened the courtyard door.

The third uncle put down the backpack on his body, fumbled in it, took out two mahogany swords, and handed one to me.

This is the most basic equipment for us to break down the haunted house. The third uncle seems to be wholesale, and it can be prepared every time.Xu Ruoxi asked timidly: "Is there... Is there mine?"

The third uncle glanced at her and said, "It's useless for you to hold this thing. It's a mahogany sword. You are a woman, so holding it won't have the effect of warding off evil spirits. It's just an ordinary piece of wood."

Xu Ruoxi was a little disappointed, the third uncle shook his head, and took out another ball of rope from his bag.

I saw that these ropes seemed to have been soaked by something, and they were stained with something black.And on those ropes, knots were tied at intervals.

The third uncle separated the ropes, there were three sections in total, and each of the three of us divided one section.

I took the piece of rope and found that the knots on the rope were very strange, and each knot was different.And on those knots, there seemed to be other hairs mixed in, which felt hard to the touch.

Chapter 55 Black Tiger Knot

I have never seen my third uncle use this kind of strange rope, so I was very curious, so I asked my third uncle, "What is the use of this rope?"

Xu Ruoxi was probably also very puzzled. Hearing my question, he also looked at Third Uncle.

The third uncle put his piece of rope around his waist and explained: "Don't underestimate this knot, it's called a black tiger knot. The top of this rope is soaked in the blood of a rooster that hasn't mated. , with the mane of a horse over 50 years old."

I was taken aback: "A 50-year-old horse? Can a horse live for so many years?"

The third uncle nodded: "Nonsense, of course. Otherwise, how would I do this black tiger knot. The average age of a horse is 30-35 years old, and the maximum is no more than 60 years old. And these horses that are more than 50 years old are pure old horses."

"Third Uncle, this rooster's blood can ward off evil spirits. You said it before, but this old horse's mane? What kind of trick is this?" I asked.

The third uncle said: "The mane of the old horse and the blood of the rooster also have the effect of warding off evil spirits, and it has another function. It is to use this black tiger knot to guide us at critical times. You all know that the old horse knows the way." This is exactly the reason. Like this kind of haunted house, if we go in at night, we are very likely to violate some kind of taboo, and it is also very possible to encounter ghosts hitting the wall. So wearing this black tiger knot, on the one hand, can defend ourselves, on the other hand On the one hand, it can also lead us out of the puzzle.”

The third uncle said it in a very serious way, and it was miraculous.When Xu Ruoxi heard this, he quickly tied the rope around his waist.

I held the rope and asked my third uncle, "Is this thing reliable?"

"So much nonsense, which of Uncle's stuff is unreliable?" Uncle approached me and said in a low voice, "Do you remember that "Haunted House Records"?"

Only then did I suddenly realize that the third uncle learned something from the haunted house record, and it seems that the things in that book are still very complicated.The third uncle probably prepared the black tiger knot according to the above records after reading that book.

I also imitated my third uncle and wrapped a black tiger knot around my waist.

Uncle San waved his hand, ready to lead us into the yard.Xu Ruoxi hesitated and asked, "This... just a rope can solve it? I... can I not go in?"

The third uncle waved his hand: "You can do whatever you want."

Xu Ruoxi was taken aback for a moment, and then said pleasantly, "Ah...really? Then I'm going back..."

Xu Ruoxi turned around and walked back.

I was wondering why the third uncle suddenly changed his mind, when he yelled loudly: "Assistant Xu, be careful, don't bump into that child."

Xu Ruoxi was taken aback again, looked around for a while, turned around and asked third uncle: "What child? How can there be any child?"

"The child's head is still bleeding, and the eyes are full of blood, isn't that right there..." The third uncle said, and suddenly slapped his head: "Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot, I have yin and yang eyes, you No. You can't see it, it's okay, let's go..."

I laughed secretly in my heart, and said to my third uncle, you have yin and yang eyes. It seems that this Xu Ruoxi is also unlucky, why did he provoke the third uncle.This is obviously to scare her.

Who knew that Xu Ruoxi really believed it, she let out a scream, ran over in a frightened jump, hid behind us, and looked at the direction that the third uncle pointed with terrified eyes.

The third uncle said: "This street is very dark. After the sun goes down, the wandering ghosts on the street will come out to make trouble. If you want to go back, be careful."

"No, no, no. I'm not going back, I'll go in with you." Xu Ruoxi waved his hands repeatedly.At this time, there were no pedestrians on the street, and there were no street lights, and the boundless darkness enveloped the entire ancient street.When the third uncle said this, let alone Xu Ruoxi, even a big man would probably have to weigh it carefully.

I laughed secretly in my heart, it seems that Uncle San's methods of cheating people are really emerging endlessly.

I found out afterwards that this Xu Ruoxi had hit a child with his car a few years ago when the child was crossing the road. Xu Ruoxi was not responsible, and the car had sufficient insurance.But Xu Ruoxi was also frightened by this, and often had nightmares, dreaming that the child was standing in front of her covered in blood.

Uncle's casual nonsense coincided with Xu Ruoxi's experience.So Xu Ruoxi believed in the third uncle's words, and now he is determined to follow us into that building.

Seeing that the trick was successful, the third uncle gave me a wink and led us into the yard.

At this time, it was already dark, and there were very few residents living in this ancient street.There were hardly any lights on the ancient street, and it was even darker in this yard.

The third uncle took out two flashlights, handed them to me, and lit them up to illuminate the environment in the yard.

The yard is small, but things are neatly organized.Under the wall on one side of the yard, there are two small lilac trees.The night wind blows and the leaves rustle.

The third uncle pointed to the two trees and asked Xu Ruoxi: "At that time, Fei Yao ate leaves from those two trees?"

Xu Ruoxi nodded.

We came near the two lilac trees, and I found that the leaves on one of the trees had been torn into a mess.

Third Uncle turned on the flashlight and carefully looked at the lilac tree.

I looked up and said, "There's nothing special about this tree."

The third uncle shook his head: "Yangzi, come and see."

I hurried over and shone my flashlight on the tree trunk.Only then did I realize that on the trunk of the lilac tree, one after another scratches could be seen.Those scratches are very small, covering almost the entire trunk, and you can't see it unless you look carefully.

The third uncle came to another lilac tree. The leaves on that tree were still intact, and the trunk was smooth.

"This scratch...Third Uncle, is there something wrong with this tree?" I asked.
