Yelou Archives

The lightning was fleeting, and the shadow disappeared into the darkness.

Teng Yao made a decisive decision, jumped forward and hugged the penguin, then rolled on the ground, turned around, supported his balance on one knee, and took out a flashlight with his free hand to shine on the position just now.

It was a tall man wearing a black transparent plastic umbrella, his face was covered by the edge of the umbrella, Teng Yao couldn't see clearly, but he could see that the other party's well-made suit was worth more than the one who entrusted him to come to Yelou today. Boss Liu's body is much more expensive.Two or three meters behind the man was the closed iron gate. He hadn't heard the sound of the iron gate opening just now, nor had he heard the sound of someone climbing the wall and falling to the ground.On such a heavy rainy day, a living person walking on a road full of stagnant water will always make some noises, which are completely different from the sound of rain.

The penguin let out a shrill scream in his arms, and his chubby body was exerting all his strength, trying to break free from Teng Yao's shackles.Teng Yao let go, and the penguin landed on the ground, running towards the man with its short legs, skillfully hiding behind the man, poking its head out to look at Teng Yao timidly and curiously.

Teng Yao got up slowly, the light spot of the flashlight was always shining on the other party's chest, he didn't move a little bit, and he didn't shake the other party's face and eyes impolitely.

"Who are you?" Tengyao asked.

"I am the owner of this house," the other party's voice was not loud, but it just penetrated the rain curtain and reached Teng Yao's ear clearly. It was nice and gentle, without sullenness or questioning, "Who are you?"

Owner?

Teng Yao subconsciously looked at the old building with traces of time behind him, and muttered, "Didn't the Internet say that no one lives here?"

His voice was very low and soft, but the other party seemed to hear: "I just completed the transfer procedures yesterday, and I just moved in today. It is true that no one lived here before."

Teng Yao was embarrassed, he broke into the house on the first day he moved in, if he really wanted to investigate, he would have to spend tonight in the police station.With flickering eyes, he saw that the other party was carrying a plastic bag, and hurriedly asked, "Are you shopping in the middle of the night?"

The other party mentioned: "I just moved here, and I don't have anything, so I have to go to a nearby store to buy some."

This man seems to be very talkative.Teng Yao changed his mind, and smiled flatteringly: "I was passing by, and it was raining when I arrived here. I thought that no one lived here, so I wanted to come in to escape the rain. I really didn't expect someone to move in today."

The other party seemed to believe his words, nodded, and walked towards the building with long legs: "Then come in with me, I'm afraid it will rain all night."

So... let him in?Are you not afraid that he is a villain?Or is it that the person is a villain and wants to find a more hidden corner to silence him?

Teng Yao quickly analyzed the situation in front of him. Yelou is indeed an ideal place to kill people and hide corpses. Except for people who love adventure and supernatural powers, almost no one will come near here. Even the residents who live nearby will deliberately avoid it. In this rather large and ferocious place, if you just dig a hole in the yard and bury him, I'm afraid no one will find out in ten or eight years.This may be the fate of the detective whose whereabouts are still unknown.

Today's old city is declining day by day, but it was once really brilliant. A house that could occupy such a large area of ​​land in the old city at that time would not be too cheap even if it had a bad reputation. The poor could not afford it, and the rich could not afford it. If he is willing to touch this bad luck, then is it believable for this person to say that he bought the wild building?

While thinking, Teng Yao caught a glimpse of a white figure from the corner of his eye, and looked down, the penguin was hovering at the man's feet step by step, staring at him.

"Is it your pet?"

The man didn't look back, and gave a faint "hmm".

Teng Yao licked the corner of his lips, feeling more vigilant in his heart.The detective who claimed to have seen Bai Ying in the Yelou was the first detective hired by Boss Liu, and he came to visit the Yelou half a month ago.That night the moon and stars were rare, even if you didn't turn on the flashlight, you could see the road clearly, but the light dimmed near the Yelou. When the detective searched for the flashlight, he was frightened by the white shadow that suddenly appeared, and even had to see a psychiatrist to adjust .

If the detective sees penguins too, this person and penguin have been wandering around the wild building for at least half a month. Although buying such a big house does require a longer period of thinking and observation, but in the middle of the night to see the house, you have to bring A penguin, isn't it a bit weird?

"Listen to the accent, you're not a local, are you?" Ten Yao had nothing to say, "Isn't it because you were fooled by the agent when you bought the house? Let me tell you, this wild building is a famous haunted house in our area. If you If you don’t know, you can seek compensation from an intermediary.”

The man walked up to the door, and lightly stroked the lock with his white and slender fingers, and the door creaked and slowly opened.The old building is like a monster that has been sleeping for many years, opening its bloody mouth to the ignorant human beings who tried to touch it, and the man who opened the door became the first to be devoured.

Suddenly, warm light poured out from the open door, and the man reappeared at the door, the umbrella in his hand was gone.

"The agent mentioned that someone died in this house, but it was a long time ago. If it's convenient, you can tell me what happened in this house." The man stepped aside and asked Tenyao to come in It couldn't be more obvious.

Teng Yao looked relaxed, and really ran over like a person who was in a hurry to hide from the rain, shaking off the rainwater from the raincoat, and then took off the raincoat and hung it on the handrail of the door.There is a rain rack above, and the raincoat can be hung here to drain water without worrying about dirtying the owner's house.

"You don't need to change your shoes, just sit casually," the man closed the door, then took a bottle of mineral water from the plastic bag he just brought back and handed it to Teng Yao, "I didn't clean up anything, it's a bit messy, sorry."

Teng Yao took the mineral water and stared intently at the other person's face. He knew it was impolite to do so, but he couldn't move his eyes away.The height and body shape of the other party are similar to his, only that face - when hearing others use roses as a metaphor for himself, Teng Yao always felt weird, how could he, an indomitable old man, use delicate and fragile flowers To describe it, until now, until he saw the person in front of him clearly, he realized that only flowers can sum up a person so accurately - if he is as bright as a rose, then the other party is as clear as an orchid, elegant and dignified. Kitsch, with a cool and fairy air in the corners of the eyes and brows, and a detached detachment that does not eat the fireworks all over the body. Any ordinary person will feel ashamed of himself just by looking at it.

While he was staring at the other party, the other party was also looking at him, and the surprise flashed in his eyes that couldn't be concealed.

The two people who only shook each other's eyes for a moment looked at each other for a while, and were interrupted by bursts of long cries.

Teng Yao thought he was hallucinating, and picked his ears: "I think I heard a donkey braying."

The corner of the man's mouth was raised slightly, and there was a faint smile in his voice: "It's not a donkey, but Dudu is barking."

Following his gaze, Teng Yao saw that the little penguin was glaring at him angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied that he recognized himself as a donkey.

Teng Yao looked at it with a smile. This penguin is slightly different from the penguin in people's fixed impression. Its head is black, its paws are also black, and there is a wide band of black feathers on its chest, which separates the neck from the white belly. Like a little gentleman with a bow tie.

"Humboldt penguin?" Tengyao was taken aback, "Can this breed be raised casually?"

The man unscrewed the bottle of water and was about to drink it, when he heard the words and looked at the little penguin, he said "oh" and said, "I picked it up, and I want to give it to you."

Teng Yao's face was a bit green, and the little penguin's face was even greener, stretching its neck towards him: "Ah-oh-oh-ah!"

The barking was so much like a donkey that Tengyao couldn't hold back: "Pfft."

The little penguin flapped its wings and frantically pecked at his legs.

Teng Yao joked while hiding: "It is said that Humboldt penguins are very shy, why are you so fierce?"

The little penguin fluttered its small wings, which were its flippers, and its two short legs moved extraordinarily fast.

Teng Yao didn't dare to be pecked by it, he dodged and jumped and hid behind the man, the little penguin persevered, and soon became the formation of "Eagle catching chicks".

"I can't catch it, I can't catch it!" Teng Yao teased the little penguin, but his eyes were fixed on the man's lower body.It's raining so hard outside, and there's water everywhere, even if you use an umbrella, you'll inevitably get wet, just like him.But this person's trousers were dry, and there was no trace of rain on the shiny leather shoes. Looking at the distance from the door to the living room, there were only water shoe marks left by him alone.

No... not a human, right?

Teng Yao retreated subconsciously, wanting to stay away from that person, but he didn't want the little penguin to avoid him at the right time, and hit his stomach like a cannonball.Teng Yao couldn't stand upright and leaned back, and he had to catch the little penguin with both hands to prevent it from being kicked and crushed by himself who fell.The victorious howl of the little penguin only had time to start before it turned into a scream of being caught by Teng Yao. The two bean eyes looked back in fear, and the anger in Teng Yao's heart-you still have face if you bumped into me help!

When the man turned around, he saw a person and a penguin fell into a ball, the little penguin was firmly pressed on Teng Yao's chest, almost knocked out Teng Yao, whose buttocks were so painful.

"You... lose weight." Tengyao took a deep breath, his internal organs ached in panic.

The little penguin was not forgiving, and wanted to remember Tengyao again.

"Toot," the man stopped in time, "you can't be so rude."

The little penguin named Dudu howled twice, jumped off Teng Yao, and ran away on short legs.

Is it true that penguins can understand human speech?Although he just used a teasing tone on purpose, with Penguin's level of intelligence, at most he can tell that what he said is not good, but Dudu seems to understand every word, which is beyond him. Knowledge of penguins.

Looking at the man standing at his feet, looking up from his current angle, there was a strange smile on his face.

Like a ghost in Liaozhai who is about to tear off its human skin disguise.
