Chapter 1399 Ancient House 2
The vehicle drove slowly along the mountain road, and finally they arrived at a remote town.
Probably because too few people came, dense weeds grew on both sides of the road, even submerging the road.
From the inside, the town looks completely like the last century. After years of wind and rain, many of them have collapsed, and the remaining houses are all in dilapidated condition.
The bus stopped at the door of the largest house in the town, and people from the interest groups came down one after another.
##
The house is large and old.
The two giant stone lions squatting at the door were covered with moss, and the names on the plaque hanging on the main door had long been lost to sight. There is a seal on the door that has been damaged by water, and through the gap you can see the overgrown weeds inside.
Fu Anan stood at the door and looked inside, a cold wind blew past his ankles...
"This is the old house of Dan Mingyan, the largest warlord in the old times. Although he only lived to be thirty years old, he was extremely vicious and killed countless people throughout his life. It is said that when he died, the vegetation within a ten-mile radius withered, and the entire town's population was reduced to Nightmare, in just two months, people in the town died and fled, and the place soon became an empty town.
Later, when the new society was established, some people took a fancy to this land and wanted to develop it. However, all those who wanted to move this land went bankrupt and died, and there was no good end. So this land has remained as it is until now, and Dan Mingyan also has a new name - Dan Yan Wang. "
The vice president of the photography club took a tablet and told everyone about the relevant content, and then told everyone, "This is where we will take the photo. Please be careful not to damage the things inside after entering. You can go to other places, but Before six o'clock in the afternoon, we gathered at the door and left on time..."
After listening to the lecture, everyone dispersed.
Fu Anan turned around and walked towards the car.
"Fu Xiaoan, what are you doing?"
A girl ran towards her and stood at the door of the car looking at her.
Fu Anan groped around inside the carriage to see if there were any blunt objects, then he squatted down and broke the support shaft under the chair.
Fu Anan held the thirty centimeter metal stick, which made the girl below stunned for a moment, "Xiao An, what are you doing with this?"
"This person is unfamiliar with the place, so he feels safer with a stick."
This...is there anyone else besides them?
The girl with twin ponytails was startled when she heard this, feeling that the friend she met yesterday suddenly became strange.
##
The door of the old house is very heavy, and three young men pushed hard to open the ajar door.
With a dull sound, the dusty world behind the door was slowly opened.
There are pavilions, pavilions and pavilions scattered at random. There are bridges over the stream and pavilions in the pond. It is divided into five courtyards, east, west, south, north and middle. Each courtyard is surrounded by winding corridors and connected to each other. There are courtyards in the water and springs in the gardens. Even though it has been abandoned for many years, you can still get a glimpse of the former luxury.
Following most of the people, they came to the middle courtyard.
It is obviously the most central location, but it gives people an inexplicable coldness.
Suddenly... the weather outside changed.
The original Xun Yang has disappeared, and layers of dark clouds have accumulated above the head. Strong winds were blowing, the century-old branches and leaves around them were swaying, and the sand and stones were squinting.
The sky suddenly darkened, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Boom——
A dazzling bolt of lightning shot out from the edge of the clouds, illuminating the surrounding area. Heavy rain poured down, and at the same time, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard.
"Hey, everyone in front of me has lined up for me, don't be in a hurry and come one by one!"
A slightly sharp voice suddenly sounded at this moment, and a conspicuous red handkerchief dangled in front of Fu Anan's eyes.
Many people suddenly appeared in the house.
The faded old buildings turned into green tiles and red paint, and the beams and carved wood were even covered with gold leaf. Expensive jade, coral, and golden bowl antiques were placed on mahogany shelves, and rare agarwood was lit in the lobby.
Are they...going back to the past?
Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes and shock.
"Damn it, cowhide!"
"Oh my God, are all these ornaments real? How much can this one sell for?"
"Oh my God, hurry up and take pictures! Hey, where is my camera?"
"My mobile phone and backpack are also missing..."
There was a commotion at the scene, and many people couldn't bear their curiosity and looked around. Until a sharp voice appeared again, "Unbridled... Anyone who is disrespectful in the middle hall will be hit with 20 boards."
Half of the people in the room were dragged away, and soon a group of people screamed in the distance.
Listening to the screams outside, Fu Anan looked at the woman closest to him.
The woman looks to be in her forties.
The face is very thin, with sunken cheeks and prominent cheekbones. She was wearing very white powder, but even her face was smeared crimson. Wearing an orange-red jacket and a black sarong, holding a red handkerchief in his hand, he showed no expression at all to the shrill screams coming from outside.
This is no joke.
The other people in the room had not yet come to their senses. The woman waved her handkerchief and continued, "Okay, the selection of servants has been passed and sent to Butler Dan. The remaining maidens will go through the next round of screening."
Everyone here seems to listen to her.
The boys who came with everyone were taken away by the servants who suddenly appeared, leaving only the girls. Immediately afterwards, another group of girls arrived from outside. Among them were companions who had not come in just now, as well as unknown NPCs. Forty or fifty people quickly filled the originally empty lobby.
Then the woman started picking people up.
Those with thick, big or smelly feet will not be kept;
Those with black wrists, yellow skin, thick fingers, and unclear palm prints will not be retained;
Those with small eyes, flat noses, or facial scars will not be retained;
Those who are not beautiful in their waist, hips, and figure will not be retained...
Anyway, there were no ones left here or there. The whole process of women was like choosing a concubine. There were forty or fifty people, but in the end only ten were left.
Fu Anan was one of these ten people, and the girl with the twin tails was also left behind.
"Okay, all you kindhearted people are the lucky ones to stay. From today on, I will take care of your daily life. You can just call me Aunt Dan."
Aunt Dan still said expressionlessly, her inverted triangular eyes glanced at every girl who stayed, and then she took out a box of tokens.
It says numbers from 1 to 10, and Fu Anan was assigned number 9.
"Please put away your signs and stay in Xiyuan to rest. I will tell you the rules of Dan Mansion later. Please behave yourself in the house and have the opportunity to become my Dan Mansion as soon as possible. Be the mistress of the house.”
The mistress of the house... really chooses a concubine.
Who to choose a concubine for? Dan Mingyan?
Fu Anan took his sign and followed the person leading the way towards the so-called Xiyuan.
The moment she stepped out, she knew clearly that the world had changed. The originally desolate and abandoned old house was now extremely luxurious after washing away the dust of the years.
