Chapter 512
Ancient main halls usually had two functions, one was to worship ancestors and the other was to receive guests.
There are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, couplets on both sides, and a long table is placed next to the wall. The table is filled with incense burners, candlesticks and fruit snacks. There is a square table in front of the table, with high-back chairs on both sides of the square table. There are coffee tables, chairs, stools, etc. in the remaining space to welcome guests.
After entering the house, the four people sat on the chairs and stools on the left and right sides, with four chairs on each side, but they all chose two chairs close to the door.
I really don't want to be too close to those two paper men.
Next to the seat was a plate of nuts, a plate of dessert, and a cup of tea.
The old scholar warmly treated me: "Customers please use tea, no need to be polite."
Bai Youwei picked up the teacup and took a sip...
——The tea is cold and has a scent of earth. It is not tea at all, but like rainwater outside.
She silently put down the teacup, and didn't want to touch the nuts and snacks next to her.
The old scholar asked: "This place is remote and remote, and the distinguished guests come from afar, don't know what is the matter?"
Shen Mo said directly: "We want to know how to stop the female heel."
Du Lai, opposite, looked at him dumbfoundedly, but he did not expect his way of asking questions to be so simple and crude.
The old scholar pondered for a moment and replied: "I have been an official for decades. After retiring and returning home, I traveled around the mountains and rivers. I moved here shortly. I have heard of the "female fortune teller". I just don't know much. It's too late today. You might as well rest here for a night and ask the villagers here tomorrow. Maybe you can gain something."
Shen Mo looked at Bai Youwei, then looked at Du Lai and Fu Miaoxue. Seeing that no one had any objections, he said to the old scholar: "Then let me disturb you."
The old scholar stood up, bent over the two paper men again, and said respectfully:
"Dad, mother, son takes the guests to the wing room to rest."
Paper people can't speak, they are painted with bright red rouge, and have a festive smile on their faces, and they feel creepy silently.
No one wanted to see more, avoided his sight, and followed the old scholar and left the main hall.
...
Behind the main hall is the owner's living room, and further backwards is a small garden.
The garden is full of winding paths, with flowers and shadows. The layout is full of elegance of ancient gardens. However, the plants are too lush and dense, and the huge tree canopy covers the top of the head, covering the sky and the sun. Not only does it not make people pleasing to the eye, but it gives people a sense of depression.
The old scholar led four people along the corridor and twists and turns. Finally, he came to a row of wing rooms, stopped and said with a kind smile:
"The humble house is simple, please take care of yourself."
Shen Mo said "Thank you" briefly.
The old man nodded with a smile, turned around and left.
When the vicissitudes of life disappear, Du Lai pushed open the door in front of him—
The wing room is less than 20 square meters, and it is full of a rack, an old wooden table, a round stool, a double-screen and a toilet rack.
Du Lai opened the remaining rooms one after another, all of which were exactly the same furniture and layout, with a total of four rooms, which corresponded to the four of them.
"Are we going to sleep separately?" Fu Miaoxue held Du Lai's arm and refused to put it on, "I don't want it! It's so scary, I can't sleep alone at night!"
"It's the same room for two." Shen Mo said lightly, "Live next to each other. If there is any situation at night, it's better to take care of each other."
Du Lai agreed.
They chose two rooms in the middle and entered the house.
The room was dark and damp, and the bedding smelled like a musty smell. I don’t know how long it took to be washed and sun.
Bai Youwei opened the doll house and asked Cheng Wei to help him get a new set of bedding.
In fact, they could have lived directly into the doll house, but considering that something might happen at night, they decided to stay so that they would not miss the clues...
