C61 (1/2)

Miao De was out dealing with the village widows. Apart from his wife and children, his father was the only one left in the family.

It was a good thing that his father was very familiar with the situation here. He immediately pointed us in the direction of the tower that Elder Miao used to live in. After that, Hua Zhe and I immediately rushed over.

It was a wicker building located in a small forest. It was very unique and gave off a very gorgeous yet inconspicuous feeling. It was the same as Elder Miao's personality. The only strange thing was that there was not a single window in the whole tower!

When we got there, there was no sound coming from the surroundings. It was very quiet, but the silence made me feel uneasy. It was as if there was a pair of eyes watching us from somewhere.

When we reached the top floor, we discovered that the design of the tower was different from that of the other buildings. There was only one door in the building, and it was also locked with a large lock.

Unlocking locks was his specialty, so the task of opening the door naturally fell on him.

After a while, the door opened and a pungent smell of mold and dust fell from the door.

Creak!

As we stepped through the door, the wooden floor made a sound of decay.

After entering the main hall, there was a side door on the left and right. I looked at him before walking through the two side doors separately.

I entered through the right side door. After I entered, there was a long corridor on the left. Only at the end of the corridor was there a door that led to the room.

This design was very strange, logically speaking, the more convenient the residence, the better it was for the residents. However, this kind of arrangement forcibly added a corridor between the lobby and the side room, which seemed to have no other use other than increasing the distance between the lobby and the side room.

Although it was a little strange, I didn't think much of it. I walked towards the door at the end of the corridor.

Just as my hand touched the door, there was another creak in the lobby, as if someone had come in again.

However, I waited a long time, but I didn't hear anyone move at all.

Strange, this is a wooden floorboard tower, logically speaking, if someone is walking on it, I should be able to hear the sound! If no one came in, then what was that sound coming from the entrance?

With that in mind, I backed away, but the lobby and the hallway were empty, not a soul in sight.

Did I hear wrong? Or did the man go into the town?

So I went back to the left side door.

The structure here seems to be symmetrical. The left side door is also a corridor. The door is still open at the end of the corridor. And when I reach the door, it is open.

However, when I entered the room, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine!

Although the room was several dozen square meters wide, there was nothing else in the room other than a set of tables and chairs. The entire room was completely empty, without even a shadow of Hua Zi!

What was going on? Could it be that the sound was made by Hua Zhe when he went out? But why didn't he say hello when he left? Even if something happens, you should at least tell me!

At this moment, a strong smell of gasoline entered my nose. Following that, someone shouted from afar!

”Fire, fire, fire! The haunted old house is on fire! ”

What the heck is going on now? Is this the haunted house? Could it be that Elder Miao was hiding something in the mansion? What was the situation if they were on fire? F * ck!
