Chapter 301

The house in front of us is a separate ancestral house with only one floor, but it is very large and has few rooms, so it can be seen that Zhang Dachui's family is not rich.

However, how he got rich recently is really incredible.

After all, he was still frugal when he was in college, and I didn't see him say how much money he made from scratching lottery tickets, so I think it's very strange.

"It seems that they are not here."

Three hands said.

"Look."

Xiao Zhang seemed to have discovered something, and then said, "Look at the footprints below."

Sure enough, in the bushes, you can still see the trampled weeds, which have not fully recovered, and there are rows of footprints, obviously they have been here.

There are at least five or six people's footprints.

"They have been here, maybe they found nothing and left."

I guessed.

"It must be like this, Zhang Dachui's family is so poor that they can't even afford to eat, how could there be anything else?"

He took a look.

I glared at the three hands, and he stopped talking.

Finally, we looked around the house, and there was nothing but a small detail that caught my attention.

Because I found that the dust on the photos hanging on the wall seemed to have been wiped off by someone, and the photos were a group photo of several generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

"It seems that Zhang Dachui has indeed come back."

I analyzed.

But apart from that, many things in the house have rotted because of the rain and the collapse of the roof.

We found an inn and stayed there first, and then slowly looked for the whereabouts of the captain and his team.

According to Xiao Zhang, there were five people in their group, including two policemen and three people from the archaeological team.

But we went to find out about them separately in the past few days, as if everyone had disappeared, and there was no news at all.

And the people in the village said that they had never seen them, and they might have found the wrong one.

"I really haven't seen them. We almost always drink tea and play mahjong here. I naturally remember all strangers who pass by here."

The old man with a white beard sells tea.

So he remembers it very clearly.

I described those people in detail, but they all shook their heads and no one had seen them.

Could it be that they have never been here?

"I remember they came here at night, and almost everyone went home."

Three Hands told us, "But they seemed to go to Zhang Dachui's house, and I don't know where they went after that. I... went back to the county."

Three Hands explained.

It seems that they all disappeared after that night.

That is to say, the captain and his men must have encountered trouble that night.

So during the day, no one knew about them.

"Let's go again at night."

I said to Xiao Zhang.

Three Hands stayed in the village, and we summoned him at any time, but he was also a good guide at that time, after all, the relationship in this village seemed very complicated.

Just relying on our few days, we couldn't understand everything clearly.

That night, we had dinner and returned to the room.

No wonder, people in small places stay at home at night, either watching TV or surfing the Internet, and almost no one goes out.

The street was very deserted, with only scattered street lights still shining.

Twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

I guessed that almost everyone was asleep before we went out. At this time, the street was unusually cold, and there were some scattered paper money on the ground. Maybe it was because someone died, I felt a chill and shivered.

"Where are we going?"

Xiao Zhang asked.

"Let's just walk around first. I don't believe there is anything fishy in such a small place."

I said.

"Okay."

Xiao Zhang agreed.

We hardly met anyone on the street at night. After all, this place is very small, so we walked most of the way in less than two or three hours.

"The lights are bright over there, let's go and see."

I was thinking about the old house.

There seemed to be many legends about the old house here. It is said that those people came from other places and lived here for many years, but their families are very strange and don't seem to communicate with outsiders. So everyone thinks those people are mysterious.

There are white lanterns hanging at the door.

But the lanterns seem to be eyes flashing with terrifying luster, which looks extremely uncomfortable.

"I guess white lanterns are hung when people die here, and they will be hung for seven nights in a row." Xiao Zhang said, "I guess they can't be taken down in half a month."

After all, five people died here.

The door was open.

We walked in carefully.

But no one was keeping watch.

Because the dead were buried, and they didn't even stay for a few days, it seemed very hasty. We saw only five photos of the dead hanging above the main hall.

The whole yard was empty, and only the oil lamp was still on.

The air was filled with an unpleasant smell, and no one could tell where it came from.

"Why do I feel so creepy?"

I said.

Xiao Zhang was also a little taboo at this time.
