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 this Sledgehammer'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 never saw him say how much money he made from lottery tickets, so I found it very strange.

"It seems 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, you can still see trampled weeds in the grass, which have not fully recovered, and there are rows of footprints. It is obvious that they have been here.

There were footprints of at least five or six people.

"They came here, maybe they found nothing and left."

I guess.

"That must be the case. This sledgehammer's family is so poor that they can't even take the blame. How could there be anything else?"

He took a look.

I glared at Sanshou before he stopped talking.

We finally looked around the house and there was nothing but one small detail that caught my eye.

Because I found that the dust on the photos hanging on the wall seemed to have been wiped off by someone. Those photos were pictures of generations of grandparents.

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

I analyzed.

But apart from that, many things in the house were rotten due to the rain and the collapse of the roof.

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

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

But in the past few days, we have been working separately to inquire about news about them. It seems that everyone has disappeared, and there is no news at all.

Moreover, people in the village said that they had never seen them before, so they were looking for the wrong ones.

"I really haven't seen it before. We almost all drink tea and play mahjong here. I will naturally remember all the strangers who pass by here."

The old man with the gray beard sells tea.

So he remembers it very clearly.

I described those people carefully, but they all shook their heads and no one had seen it.

Haven't they been here before?

"I remember they came here at night and almost everyone had gone home."

Three Hands told us, "But they seemed to have gone to Zhang Dachui's residence. I don't know where they went after that. I... went back to the county seat."

Three Hands explained.

It seems that after that night, they all disappeared.

In other words, the captain and the others must have encountered trouble that night.

So during the day, no one knew about them.

"We'll go there again tonight."

I said to Xiao Zhang.

Three Hands remains in the village and we can summon him at any time, but he can be regarded as a good guide at that time. After all, the relationships in this village seem to be very complicated.

Just relying on our few days, it is impossible to understand everything clearly.

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

It’s no wonder that people in small places stay at home at night, watching TV or surfing the Internet, and almost no one goes out.

The streets were very deserted, with only scattered streetlights still shining.

Twelve o'clock at midnight.

I guess we went out after almost everyone was asleep. It was unusually cold on the street at this time, and there were some ghost coins scattered on the ground. Maybe it was because of the dead people. I felt a chill that made me shiver.

"Where are we going?"

Xiao Zhang asked.

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

I said.

"good."

Xiao Zhang agreed.

We hardly met a single soul on the street at night. After all, this place is small, so we walked most of the place in barely two or three hours.

"It's brightly lit over there, let's go take a look."

I was thinking about the old house.

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

White lanterns hang at the door.

But the lantern seemed to be an eye with a terrifying luster, and it looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Everyone who has died here probably hangs a white lantern, and it will stay open for seven nights in a row." Xiao Zhang said, "I guess they won't be able to take it down for half a month."

After all, five people died here.

The door is open.

We walked in cautiously.

But no one kept vigil.

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

The whole yard was empty, 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 scared?"

I said.

Xiao Zhang also had some taboos at this time.
