The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

The little fish seemed to be startled, and when it tried to avoid it, it twisted its foot and fell to the ground.

The candle flame also fell down, but it did not go out.

He looked down and was met with a pair of wide eyes.

"what!"

Xiaoyu screamed and immediately moved back quickly, almost frightened to death.

There was a dead person on the ground.

He lay there with his eyes wide open and his mouth open, looking terrified.

In the dark night, such a scream was extremely abrupt.

A few birds in the tree were startled, flapped their wings and flew away, leaving a feather behind.

Xiaoyu was sitting not far away and almost didn't have the strength to get up.

The candle fell right next to the man, so it just illuminated his face, and therefore he could see the terrified expression all the time.

That's definitely a dead person.

But there were no visible wounds on his body.

He was a man, probably in his thirties or forties.

The little fish didn't dare to crawl over to pick up the candle flame.

He was now shivering all over, and he didn't know whether he wanted the candle to be extinguished or not.

"Hai, Hai brother!"

He thought he was shouting very loudly, but in fact the sound seemed to be hidden in his throat, very soft and trembling.

Brother Xiao Hai was walking in the opposite direction, and it was not known whether he heard the scream just now, but Lu Zhaoling did not hear any footsteps coming from that direction.

Just now when Xiaoyu fell, she quickly hid behind a tree.

But now she looked up at the floating black shadow hanging on the tree and saw that it was also a person, a very thin man, his belt was hung on the tree, his limbs and hair hung down and dangling there.

The soul is no longer there.

The little fish may not have realized that the thing hanging on the tree is also a corpse.

But now he was terrified.

Lu Zhaoling watched him move back little by little and sighed in his heart.

You're obviously not a very brave person, but you insisted on coming to such a place in the middle of the night. After this incident, I guess you won't dare to come here again?

The little fish finally climbed up and stood there with his legs shaking slightly.

He raised his head stiffly, and finally saw what was hanging on the tree -

Dead body.

He covered his mouth.

Lu Zhaoling watched him struggling and confused.

He was really afraid, but he was still hesitating and didn't want to leave quickly?

Sure enough, Xiaoyu hesitated for a while, listened to the noise, looked around, heard no sound, and nothing came out. He gritted his teeth, turned around and pushed the door into the small building.

However, just as he entered, he retreated again, looked at the candle on the ground, moved over with fearful steps, quickly picked up the candle, and quickly retreated back into the door.

"Tsk, you really don't know how to live or die."

Lu Zhaoling sighed secretly.

This child just hopes to find something valuable here and sell it so that his grandfather won't have to work so hard in the future.

When people are extremely poor, they can overcome their fear.

After all, many times and many things are not as scary as poverty.

Xiaoyu may be feeling this way now.

After he entered the small building and searched for a while, Lu Zhaoling saw the candlelight inside moving upwards, so he should have gone to the small attic on the second floor.

I don't know if this was an embroidery room or a viewing tower in the past, but it looks quite exquisite.

Lu Zhaoling walked towards the two bodies, squatted down and took a look.

Of these two people, the one on the ground was actually scared to death. He must have lost his soul just before he died.

The one hanging on the tree was strangled to death, but he must have lost his soul before being strangled.

After she confirmed this, she followed him in.

Things were scattered all over the floor, including broken furniture, fragments, and torn rags.

It really doesn't look like there's anything valuable.

The wood of the smashed furniture looked good, but it was probably of no use to Xiaoyu and the others.

There was a slight noise in the little attic above.

Lu Zhaoling also walked up.

The wooden stairs were still very sturdy to walk on, and her footsteps were light, making no sound.

There was a bang.

It seemed like something had fallen.

Lu Zhaoling quickened his pace.

After going up, she saw Xiaoyu bending over and taking something out of a wooden box.

He turned out some gauze, cloth and other things.

These cloths look very good too, they are high quality cloths.

But the whole piece of cloth was very heavy, and it was the kind used by women, so Xiaoyu gave up.

Lu Zhaoling looked around and saw a dressing table with a bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror was covered with a layer of spider webs, so it was not clear.

Xiaoyu placed the candle on the dressing table.

There is now a faint light in the bronze mirror.

When she saw this scene, she just felt something was wrong.

In addition to this dressing table, there were stools, shelves, and a couch next to it. The couch was actually burned and had a charcoal black stain.

The window next to it was closed and the window paper was torn in several places.

On the other side, there is a very small wooden ladder.

There is actually a small attic above, but it should be very narrow, not enough space for one person to go up, and it may just be used to store some things.

Xiaoyu rummaged around in the box for a while but didn't find anything, so he stood up, took a breath, and wanted to rest for a while.

His eyes fell on the dressing table.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the dressing table.

The small drawer of the dressing table was open, and there was a box on it that was also open. I guess he had seen it before, and there was nothing inside.

But now, looking at the bronze mirror, he couldn't help but walk over again.

"Bronze mirror... seems to be able to sell for money?"

Xiaoyu said this in a low voice, as if asking himself.

If I could take that bronze mirror out, I should be able to exchange it for some silver.

You also have to see whether the carving on the back of the bronze mirror is exquisite.

Moreover, is there something hidden in the base of the bronze mirror?

Some people may set up some mechanisms on the base to hide some gold ornaments or silver bills.

Xiaoyu had already walked to the front of the dressing table. Looking at the spider web covering it, he reached out and swept it down.

Now, the bronze mirror became much brighter, reflecting the candlelight and making the surroundings a little brighter.

The little fish subconsciously moved closer, wanting to look in the mirror to see if it was clear.

As soon as he looked in the mirror, a hand quickly reached out from behind, grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him away.

"what--"

"Shut up!"

Xiaoyu's scream of horror and Lu Zhaoling's voice sounded almost at the same time.

Lu Zhaoling pulled him behind her.

Xiaoyu was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at Lu Zhaoling.

"You, why are you here?"

Lu Zhaoling did not answer him, but looked at the bronze mirror.

"You follow me?" Xiaoyu suddenly reacted.

Lu Zhaoling pulled him and turned his head towards the bronze mirror.

"have a look."

Xiaoyu looked over subconsciously.

When he saw this, before he was about to scream in horror again, Lu Zhaoling had already slapped him with a silencing talisman.
