Chapter 61 The Mysterious Big House
Going down the mountain from another path, turning around a hill, the noise of the salt well was blocked on the other side of the hill, and the surroundings returned to tranquility.

After visiting for an afternoon, I gained little.Except for the circumstances recorded in the file, it is only heard that there were many people who disappeared some time ago, but recently it has been calm, and Yanjing has never heard of anyone missing.

Under the hillside, an old farmer was driving a few sheep to graze.Wu Yan went up to talk to the old farmer: "Old man, I saw that the grass grows a lot and well on the other side of the mountain, why don't you go there to graze? The past is not far away."

The old farmer replied: "Young master, I also feel strange. They are all the same grass. Why does this sheep like to eat this side. I can't catch up with it."

Wu Yan knows nothing about raising sheep, so it's inconvenient to comment.

After chatting for a few more words, saying goodbye to the old farmer, Wu Yan and the three walked out of the mountain along the path.There is a branch ahead, Wu Yan walks to the left one.After walking two steps, I heard the old farmer shouting from behind: "My lord, don't go that way."

Wu Yan turned around in surprise, and saw the old farmer rushing over with a few sheep.When he got closer, the old farmer grabbed Wu Yan's sleeve, pulled her back to the fork in the road, and said, "My lord, you can't go there."

"why?"

"That road is a dead end. There is a big house at the end of the road. It is quite old. It is said that it was a villa built by a senior official who returned to his hometown to retire. Later, I heard that the senior official committed a crime somehow and was arrested. The whole house was raided, and the house was empty. The old house has been empty for a long time, so I’m afraid it’s not very clean. We have many legends about that house, and no one has ever dared to approach it.”

Hearing what the old farmer said, Wu Yan became very interested.The mysterious big house, the long-standing legend, maybe you can find some clues to the disappearance case there.

"Old man, isn't it just a big empty house, what are you afraid of?"

"You can't talk nonsense, you young people don't know the benefits. Besides, this house is not empty now. I heard that someone bought the house at the beginning of the year. Those people were mysterious and never followed People in the village come and go, and they don’t know what they are doing.”

This is easy to handle, go back and let Gong Ziling check who bought it.

"Okay, I listen to your advice, we won't go there anymore. Old man, it's getting late, you should go back earlier." Wu Yan coaxed the old farmer.

"Young master, that's right, peace is a blessing."

The old farmer led the sheep along the path.As soon as he was out of sight, Wu Yan immediately said to Gong Zhenggong: "Brothers, how about we go take a look at that house?"

Gongzheng Gongzhi is a person who came through the bloody storm, what else is there to be afraid of?Immediately agreed.

Go up the forked road on the left, turn a corner, and there is a big house in front of you. This small road just leads to a side door of the house, and there is another wider road at the front door.

The house is indeed an old house, the walls are covered with moss, the paint on the eaves is peeling, and the small carvings on the roof are so broken that it is almost impossible to find a complete one.It seems that the new people who moved in have not repaired it, but although it is old, the old house has its own seductive power in the twilight, which shows how prominent the owner who built it was. .

I don't know if it's because the house is too vicissitudes, or for some other reason, but Wu Yan always feels that facing this old house has a chilling feeling, as if the house is also looking at her.

Before reaching the door, the door suddenly opened with a "squeak", and a big man came out from the door, dressed as a domestic servant, looking at Wu Yan and the others with a gloomy expression.

Wu Yan had no choice but to stop, and saluted: "Brother, we are from Biwu City, we went to play in this mountain, and accidentally lost our way, and we hope that Brother will show us the way back."

The big man had no expression on his face, he looked Wu Yan up and down for a long time, then looked at Gong Zheng and Gong Zhi, he reluctantly pointed to one side, and said in a cold voice: "From there, the official road is not far away."

After speaking, he took another look at Wu Yan, returned to the room, and closed the door with a "bang".

Wu Yan let out a breath, stroked her chest, and said to Gong Zhenggong, "Let's go." What a failure, she didn't even touch the door.
