The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it is, because, if the old man really wants to help us and provide us with clues, I do n’t have to go through such a big circle at all, can I just hand over the wardrobe? He tried everything he could to let us go to his so-called old house. It was a trap.

I summed up with Qin Yiheng and told him that we still don't want to go to this place. He thought about it for a long time before saying, "Go or go, but we have to be more careful. This old man doesn't seem to be harming people. In your words, even if he harms people, it doesn't need to be so big. A circle. "

I thought about it. Although I still had no idea in my heart, Qin Yiheng said, I didn't make any sense to retreat. I immediately said goodbye to him at the teahouse and went home.

The old man didn't say anything. Someone contacted me early the next day, told me the location of the house, and told us to leave as soon as possible, and then call him after landing, there will be someone to pick up the airport.

This house is in a prefecture-level city in the south, and the specific address of the other party was not revealed on the phone. I did n’t even have the opportunity to check it in advance from the network map. I could only black out my eyes and bought the latest trip with Qin Yiheng. The air ticket for the flight was embarrassed.

Along the way, I kept my eyes closed and nourished, but I couldn't sleep at all. Qin Yiheng was quite shocked. The two of them got off the plane and I called over there. After waiting for half an hour at the airport, someone came to pick us up.

The person who came here was in his thirties and had a public face. Except for saying hello when he met, he rarely spoke. He didn't even introduce himself. I didn't know who his last name was. Qin Yiheng and I got into his car, and I was trying to talk to him along the way to see if I could get something out. I do n’t know if it ’s because of his sternness or personality. I did n’t take advantage of my stubbornness.

The car drove for a long time, drove from the airport into the urban area, and then out of the urban area, along the national road. By the time the car stopped, it had already spent nearly four hours on the road.

Originally when we got off the plane in the afternoon, after such a toss, it was already dark. I was tired and hungry. After getting out of the car and watching around, I felt that this time it was really a sheep.

I am afraid that our location is already very remote. It looks like a small town. Although it is not surrounded by mountains, it always feels sparsely populated, and there are not many buildings in sight, and few houses are lit. I am afraid that there is no decent place to live in such a backcountry.

At first I thought it was late and it was inconvenient to rush off the road. I stayed here and rested all night for the time being. I did n’t promise that the person who wanted to pick us up said that the house was at the end of the street we were standing on. Take us to see.

Qin Yiheng was not surprised when he got out of the car. He nodded lightly to me and did not know if he was comforting me. I said in my heart, now that I can only settle as soon as I come, smoke a cigarette, and then go to a small noodle restaurant with the person who picked us up. The noodle shop is about to close, so he only helped to cook a few noodles, and the taste is not bad. We have been hungry for a long time, and we had a meal of Hesai. It was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.

When I came out of the noodle shop, it was darker outside. Some people who had lights on before turned off the lights. There are no street lights on the way, so I always felt a little fluffy on the way to the house. When standing in front of the house, this furry feeling becomes more obvious.

This house is much larger than I thought. Although it is not majestic, it is definitely the mansion of the richest man in town compared to the house next to it. The style of the house is Chinese, and the courtyard door is very high. It looks a bit like the gate in the Forbidden City, but it is only proportionally reduced. Anyway, this kind of self-built house will be built as long as it is willing to be built, and it will not be controlled by relevant departments.

Before I entered the house, I was already discouraged. Although I don't know how big this house is, it is definitely difficult to eat it. Moreover, this house is in such a remote town, unless one day the highway needs to be repaired here, otherwise it will only make a profit.

I thought about it and completely dismissed the idea of ​​accepting the house. Now the sole purpose of this trip is to see if there is a wardrobe inside. The person who picked us opened the courtyard door, but did not enter in a hurry. Instead, he took three large black umbrellas from the wall behind the courtyard door and handed them to me and Qin Yiheng. Walked in first.

His action made us both look at each other. What happened to this house leaking? Going under an umbrella? But the sky was full of stars and there was no rain. I asked Qin Yiheng in a low voice. He said that he would follow the custom in the village, so he opened the umbrella and walked in.

I walked at the end, entered the courtyard door, and came to the courtyard, and suddenly there was a sudden and cheerful feeling. The aesthetic standard of this old man is not low. Although the yard is not very large, the layout and decoration and the flower pool are still beautiful. However, I didn't have time to appreciate it. After crossing the courtyard, three people entered the main hall of the house. The person who picked us up entered the house, but still did not put away the umbrella. Qin Yiheng and I had no choice but to continue to hold it, and the three of them turned around like a neuropath.

The people who picked us up took us room by room, without explaining or describing it. I can only estimate the size of the house through experience. Going to the yard, it is estimated to be 500 to 600 square meters. There are many rooms, as the old man said, the furniture is ancient wooden furniture, I do not know whether it is a modern imitation or has been left before.

I see that Qin Yiheng's eyes have been sweeping around, presumably searching for the closet. I also tried to find it. Although the house was large, objects as big as that wardrobe were really missing.

The three men made a round, and finally all sat in the living room. Although I don't plan to buy the house anymore, I want to talk about it symbolically once I come here. So, I asked the person who picked us up if the old man had mentioned his psychological price for selling the house. The person who picked us up listened to my question, but he seemed a little absent-minded, staring at the umbrella in his hand.

At this time, the umbrella in Qin Yiheng's hands and I did not put down, this scene is quite funny. I saw him not answering, so I raised the tone and asked again. This time he shook his head at me, saying that he didn't know, so he looked up at the inside of the umbrella again.

I was completely annoyed by him, and I felt a little angry in my heart. What's so beautiful about an umbrella? I looked up and looked up. I was surprised to see this. On the inside top of my umbrella, there was a piece of adhesive or adhesive plaster on it. It was not long. It was half the size of a thumb. It looked a bit like The umbrella leaked and was temporarily laid on it.

I said in heart that this umbrella was just repaired by this person? Otherwise, why is he always thinking about this? I lowered my body as much as possible, and wanted to see the inner top of Qin Yiheng's umbrella. Helplessly, he lifted it relatively low. I couldn't see it at all. I had to wink at him and remind him to look inside the umbrella.

Qin Yiheng also looked up intently, frowned at me, stretched out two fingers, and pointed at the man who pointed at us. I didn't know what he meant. I guessed it. Did he tell me that there are two things in the umbrella? Now I am even more puzzled, is this umbrella co-broken? This old man doesn't look like he can't afford an umbrella, is it so frugal?

Thinking about it, I asked the man, "What do you mean by holding an umbrella since you came in?"

The man was stunned by me for a moment, but did not answer directly, but just looked at me with some panic. Tonight, we can live in this house, and by the way, we can also see the house. Everything is convenient, only a little, but everything Walking around this house, you must hold an umbrella. After he finished speaking, he got up to say goodbye to him, and left. He also put the key of the courtyard door on the table, and told us that he bought water and vegetarian food in advance and put it in the kitchen, and quickly walked out.

I also wanted to ask him a few words. Qin Yiheng reached out and stopped me, whispering that I should stop chasing, and said, "This man is a little wrong. It seems he is not familiar with this house. When he took us around, he saw the door. Just go in. "He said that he extended **** and pointed to his own eyes." His eyes have been erratic, obviously he is also alive with this place. "

I thought about it for a while. Based on the previous performances of the man, it seems that he really told him to speak. Although he was n’t his first visit, I ’m afraid he has n’t been there a few times. What was the heart of the old man who arranged such a reception? Obviously it doesn't seem like selling a house.

I asked Qin Yiheng, and he shook his head, telling me that it would be useless to think about it now, and then pointed to the ceiling of the house.

I moved the umbrella away a bit and looked up, only to find the ceiling of this house interesting. I don't know if the old man likes to watch the stars very much. There are many skylights on the ceiling. Each skylight is not too small and there is no cover on it. The sky can be seen directly through the glass. I had been holding an umbrella just now, so I didn't pay attention to it. It's even stranger to see me now. This kind of skylight will hardly be used in residential houses, even if it is used, it will not be used on such a large scale. What's more, this house is in Chinese style whether it is from the exterior wall or the interior or even the furniture, and the skylights are also very out of place.

I lit a cigarette and asked Qin Yiheng if there was anything to say about this skylight. He “hmm” and said for a while after being silent: “The man kept asking us to hold an umbrella. Before leaving, he specifically told him that it might have something to do with the skylight.” After he finished, he walked around the room, putting one by one The skylight read it again, and came back to light a cigarette, as if contemplating.

When I saw it, I also guessed that this umbrella has nothing more than two functions: shade or rain. The glass on this skylight is intact, and it is not raining, is this umbrella used to block the light? In this house, can't people be illuminated by the light above his head? Thinking of this, I looked up again. This time I didn't dare to move the umbrella to look directly above, but tilted the umbrella a bit and looked at the skylight above the slope.

There are stars outside and there is no moon, and the lights are on in the house, even if there is moonlight outside, it will not shine. I said in heart that I had to turn off the lights to see the clues. I was about to tell Qin Yiheng my speculation, and suddenly remembered another thing. I heard that there are many folk sayings that you can't hold an umbrella indoors. Was the person who picked us up so anxious to leave, would n’t it be a trap? He knew there was something in this house, so he harmed us in this way?
