Chapter 1587 New Bride
It is an indisputable fact that this courtyard was abandoned, but in such an abandoned and evil courtyard, how could anyone repair the doors and windows?
Could it be...that there are still people living in this stone house?
Staring at this stone house, the doubts in Li Bai's eyes became more and more obvious. This stone house is indeed a bit strange, because it is a bit too tall compared to the nearby villagers' houses. It also has only one floor, but the roof of the stone house is 5 meters high. .
What kind of person would live in such a tall room? After thinking about it, Li Bai's heart skipped a beat.
Could he be the village chief of Blackwater Village?
Thinking of what the villagers said about the subtle relationship between the village chief and Empress Zhusheng, Li Bai felt increasingly panicked. At this moment, a gust of night wind passed through the cracks in the stones, making a whining sound, like someone crying in a low voice.
"That's not right." After taking several deep breaths, Li Bai forced himself to calm down, "If the village chief is inside, then he will face a huge crisis tonight, even greater than the crisis faced by Yao, Shun, and Yu. This is illogical. The most important thing tonight is The most dangerous person should be Li Maochun among the three."
"Regardless of whether Li Maochun is the second generation of Crimson or not, the scene he faced can be said to be a desperate situation."
Li Bai firmly made up her mind, and following the lessons of Yao, Shun, and Yu, she decided that no matter what happened, she would not rush into this stone room. Although she was curious about what was in the room, this curiosity was undoubtedly fatal.
She can still tell which one is more serious and which one is less serious.
Moreover, her mission was different from that of Yao, Shunyu. Yao, Shunyu was to kill people, so they had to enter the house to find the target, but she was setting fire, and the target was the house in front of her.
Looking around, Li Bai was looking for materials that could start a fire. Finally, in a remote corner of the yard, Li Bai found a large black cloth.
The cloth is very thick and a little oily. If you put it up and smell it, you can smell a stinking oily smell.
After lifting the cloth, there was a stack of neatly stacked firewood underneath. When I touched it with my hand, I found that the firewood was very dry and could ignite easily.
Li Bai understood that the cloth covering the firewood was used to waterproof, and she believed that the cloth itself was an excellent fire starter.
Without further ado, Li Bai held the firewood and approached the strange stone house very carefully. She listened carefully and found that the room seemed to be very quiet, but she was not sure because there was a whistling wind noise around her.
She carried firewood again and again and piled firewood in front of the house's door and in places near the wooden window frames that were more likely to burn. Because this was basically a house made of stone, it was unrealistic to completely burn it down. Therefore, the so-called formal meaning of setting fire is greater than the practical significance. To be precise, as long as she lights the fire, she has completed the task.
After carrying the firewood, she balled up the oily cloth and stuffed it into the pile of firewood in front of the door. All she had to do next was light a fire.
So she brought the lantern and carefully took out the candle inside. She didn't know what material the candle was made of. In short, it was very resistant to burning. After burning for several hours, there was still most of it left.
But just as she held the fire with her hands and moved the candle closer to the cloth, suddenly, a gust of wind came over, and the flame jumped twice and went out.
A wave of chill instantly chilled Li Bai from head to toe. Not only because she could not complete the task without the candlelight, but more importantly, she felt that the dark wind just now was blowing from in front of her, from the empty fan in front of her. In the crack of the closed door!
There's something behind the door!
Li Bai took a big step back as if he was ready to launch, and immediately distanced himself from the door. But in the next second, something strange happened. The door in front of him opened with a "squeak--" and kept opening until 2/3 of the way. From left to right, looking in through the door, Li Bai was shocked. The room was decorated like a wedding banquet on a special day. There were four Eight Immortals tables inside, and four chairs were placed next to each Eight Immortals table. In the deepest part, There is a candlestick on the ground near the table.
A bright red thick candle was burning faintly, reflecting the big red words "Happy" on the wall beside it.
She still couldn't avoid what was coming. It seemed that she had to enter this room to get the red candle. She just noticed that the courtyard door had been closed at some point. She wanted to go to Yao, Shun, and Yu to ask for a fire, but was it right? Opportunity.
Li Bai made up her mind and stepped across the threshold. As soon as she entered the room, the air around her became colder. Li Bai tried her best to control herself from looking around, but what she saw from the corner of her eye still made the hairs on her back stand up.
On the table...the wedding banquets on the table are all fake. Those dishes are just some maggots that have been dead for an unknown period of time. There is a plate of dumplings in the middle of each wedding banquet table, and the dumplings are all made of paper. At first glance, she doesn’t think she has anything to do with it. I can’t tell whether these are paper dumplings or paper ingots offered as tribute to the dead.
At the same time, she also discovered an even more terrifying thing. On the ground in front of each chair, there was a pair of embroidered shoes.
The red embroidered shoes are very small, the kind used by women with bound feet. Two small golden lotus shoes are placed together, with the toes pointed straight at the bottom of the table.
Li Bai felt that her neck was stiff, because she did not dare to move, so she could only walk forward stiffly.
Finally, she arrived near the candlestick without any danger, but just when she finally breathed a sigh of relief and squatted down, the scene in her peripheral vision made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She saw it, under the table next to her, There are four extra legs.
Four pairs of legs stepped on red embroidered shoes, sitting together, sitting like ladies from a noble family, dressed the same, these are clearly four brides.
No!
They are four bride ghosts!
Li Bai took a deep breath, knowing that if she moved at this moment, she would die. Slowly, she picked up the candlestick, pretended that nothing had happened, turned around, half lowered her head, and walked out step by step.
At the same time, some strange sounds began to appear in the originally silent room, "creak--, creak--"
It was like something was rubbing the rope.
Li Bai didn't care about anything, just lowered her head and walked out honestly. She looked safe and sound, but at this moment her face was almost distorted.
She understood, she understood everything, the candle in her hand cast a series of stiff shadows on the surrounding walls.
And these shadows were still slowly turning with Li Bai's movement.
No wonder… No wonder this house is so high, no wonder the villagers say this house is weird, Li Bai gritted his teeth, the hatred in his heart was like substance, after all, if it was not high enough, how could so many people be hanged to death!
At this moment, in this room, there were a total of sixteen corpses wearing red wedding dresses hanging high in the air. As Li Bai moved, these corpses were also slowly turning, always facing Li Bai.
Waiting for her to look up.
