Chapter 39: The Old House

Because I had experience in Fengmen Village, I thought I was very familiar with this village with the same layout as Fengmen Village. But I didn't expect that Xiao Rui's familiarity with Fengmen Village was far more than me. I originally wanted to go back along the same route and follow the routes of the villagers in my memory, but Xiao Rui ignored my suggestions and took me here and there. Not only did I not meet any villagers, but I looked back soon and found that I did not go in the wrong direction, but went further than what I planned. In this way, I was too lazy to worry about everything. As for why Xiao Rui was so familiar with this place, I didn't ask about it. Anyway, she had hidden a lot from me, so there was no more.

What I was curious about was why she came to me, but for my question, Xiao Rui was too lazy to act like a deaf person, so he said he couldn't tell me, so I had no choice but to continue to remain silent.

After walking on the mountain for about half an hour, I was always worried about whether it would be beyond the scope of the village. If I had something, it would be too late. I didn’t think about whether Xiao Rui was lying to me, but it was life and death. I finally chose to believe it. Xiao Rui still took my concerns carelessly and patted me on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I would definitely not be willing to let you die before I said 'Buy a disc' to you."

In a state of fear and fear, I finally heard Xiao Rui say "arrival" after walking for half an hour. I, who was already extremely tired, immediately became energetic. I walked to Xiao Rui and looked along her fingers. Not far ahead, there was a building that I was very familiar with. It looked like the old house I remembered.

I saw another old house and the black coffin-shaped small house in the backyard of the old house.

Xiao Rui didn't give me time to sigh or think, so he pushed me and said, "Go over quickly, otherwise you won't see the good show in a while."

I don’t know how I walked to the old house this way, but I only know that the house here is exactly the same as the old house in my memory. I can’t help but call it the old house in my heart. To be different, that is, I am alone here, unlike the old house in the deep mountains in my memory, there are some dilapidated houses next to it. Some old people were originally wondering whether the old house in the hypnotic world really exists, but now when I see the house in front of me, I know that no matter whether the ones in my previous memory exist, at least it is certain that these old houses must play an extremely important role in the story of "Old House". Now that a real old house appears in front of me, is it said that all the secrets will be revealed to me here?

Looking at the closed door in front of me, I was afraid that I would be afraid to go in for a moment, for fear that by pushing the door, I would smash all the beautiful past in my memory. Xiao Rui, who has always been crazy, did not urge me this time. He stood outside for a long time before he said softly: "Okay, you can go in." Then he threw me aside, ran a few steps and shouted, and kicked the door of the old house with a laugh.

I was shocked by the actions of this crazy woman. If someone inside was at this time, they would definitely be shocked. If the villagers were drawn, even if Xiao Rui could beat me, I would not think she could still leave safely while protecting me. I looked around with a vigilant look on my face. Fortunately, no one came over. Xiao Rui clapped his hands indifferently and said, "It's okay, they won't come now."

I looked again with some concern, and I was sure that no one came over before I felt relieved. However, after this trouble, the trace of sadness that I had originally had disappeared without a trace. Under Xiaorui's urging, I raised my legs and stepped into the door of the old house.

The house is exactly the same as the old house I remember, of course, it refers to the old house in the deep mountains. Because the house I am in is also covered with weeds, I walked step by step to the backyard, looking at this familiar scene, and thinking: In that hypnotic world, not all I have come into is illusion. Maybe I have really been to such an old house. If it is true, will there be a mysterious village similar to Fengmen Village not far from that old house? And is there a house similar to Fengmen Village in Fengmen Village far away in Henan?

Everything in the original blueprint of "Old House" has special meanings. If all of my guess is not true, will there be another possibility? Looking at everything familiar in front of me, I thought to myself: "Old House" blueprint says that there is a big house in my home. Will I just want to tell me that my real home is here?

This is another question without answers. I found that apart from constantly encountering new questions, I can hardly find a useful clue, nor can I figure out a clear idea. Everyone seems to have a secret and are hiding something from me. Perhaps the one who can tell me the answer most directly is Xiao Rui around me, but she is unwilling to say anything.

Because of my second guess, I would rather call this house an old house. There was no one except Xiaorui and I. We walked all the way to the black hut. The house was covered with strange and familiar patterns. I thought about it and said to Xiaorui: "Maybe the secret that these people cannot die is because of this. It is said that this is a Taoist formation, which can make people die like they are alive after they die."

This is the explanation of these patterns in the hypnotic world. I said it casually, but Xiao Rui curled his lips and said, "You believe this kind of nonsense." My heart moved, as if Xiao Rui knew very clearly about the hypnotic thing about me. Maybe I could find out from her indirectly what was true and what was illusory in the memory.

I was just about to say something, but Xiao Rui suddenly pulled me and said, "Come with me and watch the show." I was stunned for a moment and said, "What kind of show?"

Xiao Rui pulled me and said, "Do you want to know what those people will do in the future if they tie you up? If you want to know, hurry up, otherwise people will come in a while. If they find out this time, I can't save you."

When I heard that the villagers were about to come, I was shocked and hurriedly followed Xiao Rui. However, although the old house was big, I wanted to avoid being discovered by the villagers, and I wanted to see what they did. There was really no other good place to choose except standing on a high place. The problem was that even if I wanted to find such a place in the old house, it was not easy to find.

The two looked around. Although I felt that I had been playing hide-and-seek in such a big house since I was a child, I had never climbed high, so I naturally couldn't think of any good place. Seeing that I was looking around, Xiao Rui probably had no hope for me anymore, so he simply stopped looking at me and started looking for it on his own.

After a while, I heard Xiao Rui say, "I have it." Then I ran into a wing room and climbed up the pillar in the middle. I didn't know how she got up such a thick and slippery pillar. Anyway, I couldn't do it like her. Xiao Rui climbed to the top, moved carefully to the beam on the side, and said to me below: "Come up quickly."

I tried the pillar, and finally looked at Xiao Rui helplessly. She looked at me with a look of regret, and said hatefully: "Fortunately, I have watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!" While saying that, she took out a long rope from her bag, tied it to the beam, and drooped it, saying, "Come up quickly."

I thought to myself: In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it was not Duan Yu who climbed up with force, but Zhong Ling pulled him up with force. But at this time, I naturally would not talk to Xiao Rui. I could already faintly hear footsteps coming in, so I hurriedly jumped up, held the rope with both hands, and climbed up with force together.

Because the jump just now was a bit too large, and I was climbing hard, the rope shaking very hard. Xiao Rui couldn't help pulling it and stabilize it. I tried hard to climb up. The rope was hung on the beam and made a squeaking sound. My heart suddenly sank and remembered the story about the old house in the hypnotic world. Legend has it that an elder of my in the old house was hanging inside. Later, someone often heard the squeaking sound on the beam of the house. If I remember correctly, my current position is where the elders hanged in the memory.

The story may be fake, or it may be implying something that is going to happen, for example, as now, a rope hangs down from the beam, and I fell on the rope, and the rope squeaks. Does it mean that I will die on this rope like this, even if Xiao Rui said that I will have an immortal body here?

At this moment, I vaguely heard a slight sound of footsteps outside, as if someone was walking around in the small alley at the door, my heart became heavier. Once the fear of death arose in my heart, it began to spread irresistibly. I felt that I was weak all over, but the instinct to survive made me unwilling to give up. I climbed up with greater efforts. Seeing that I was about to climb to the top, Xiao Rui reached out to pull me in the air. With this force, I finally climbed up the beam, and then hugged the pillar and gasped, thinking: I finally came up, and I didn't die on this rope.

Being at a high altitude seemed to have no effect on Xiao Rui. She sat casually on the beam without fear of falling. She looked at me while retracting the rope and said, "You have such an ugly face and such a poor physical strength? Look less in the future and buy a disc."

I ignored her and finally waited until my breathing was slow before I began to look at the environment I was in. Although I was very clear about the architectural style and layout of the house, it was the first time I stood at this height. Although it was inside the house, I could see the outside through the grid on the window, and hiding inside was not as good as in the hall, so I didn’t have to worry about being discovered. In this regard, Xiao Rui was still very insightful.

After recovering some strength, I asked Xiao Rui: "What are they going to do here?"

Xiao Rui shrewd and said, "Don't make noise, they are here."
