Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1037 Sleepy Mountain (4000 words)

The inside of the yard was much larger than expected. Yu Chengmu and the other three did not take action immediately after entering. Zhou Qing supported Yu Chengmu, and another named Zhang Junyu walked over and bent down slightly. Yu Chengmu whispered in his ear. some words.

After hearing this, Zhang Junyu nodded, then looked left and right, then walked in the other direction, sticking close to the wall.

Jiang Cheng noticed that Zhang Junyu's steps were strange. He was light and shallow, so he took a few more glances. Unexpectedly, he raised his head and saw Yu Chengmu looking at him.

Later, Zhang Junyu found a wooden corridor submerged in weeds. They walked along the corridor, and from time to time they heard the creaking sound of decaying wood under their feet. There were overgrown weeds nearby, and a dilapidated scene came into view.

But the rockery not far away and the scenery everywhere tell them about the grandeur of this place.

Yu Chengmu stopped and looked in the direction of the rockery.

"Are the villagers serious about setting up the mourning hall here?" Pang Xiaofeng looked around with fear, holding his arms and complaining.

Chen Hao frowned, "Don't say anything useless."

The man who led the way didn't tell them where the room was. After they came in, they saw a light on the left side, so they took a detour to find it. When they got closer, they found several white lanterns, and a large room similar to a wing appeared in front of them.

The lanterns were hung under the eaves, and when the night wind blew, the flames inside swayed with the lanterns, fluttering and flickering, giving people an unreal feeling.

"Look." Zhang Junyu, who was wearing a black vest, suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger. Not far from this wing, there were three other buildings with lanterns on. Judging from the size, they should be similar to this wing.

There are four wing rooms nearby, separated by a certain distance from each other.

"It seems that these are the rooms we will stay in tonight." Yu Chengmu hunched his back slightly, his voice a little distorted in the wind, "We have four groups of people here, how about each group having a room?"

"We have no problem." Chen Hao was the first to agree. He seemed to be the leader of Pang Xiaofeng and Du Moyu's group with a strong physique. There were four of them, which was the largest number among the groups.

Jiang Cheng also didn't want to share a room with other people, otherwise he would have to be wary of people as well as ghosts, so he expressed his position very excitedly: "You don't have to worry about me. The doctors all praise me for my courage. I don't need a nurse to coax me at night. I can do it myself." If you dare to sleep, you don’t have to turn on the light!”

Fatty wanted to help Jiang Cheng distract everyone's attention, but he really couldn't do it.

Zhang Junyu glanced at him and said lukewarmly: "Then you are quite powerful.

As soon as he finished speaking, a discordant voice sounded, "Separate... Wouldn't it be too dangerous to separate?" Jia Jinliang looked at the three wing rooms not far away and couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead: "Otherwise we should still Let's live together. I can give you the bed. Abiao and I can just sleep on the floor. Let's just squeeze in and make do. If something happens...if anything happens at night, there will be someone to take care of you, right?"

It could be seen that Jia Jinliang was frightened, there was sweat on his forehead, and there was some reflection under the lantern.

"Boss Jia, please help yourself." After Yu Chengmu said this, he led his two apprentices into the side room in front of him.

Jia Jinliang hurriedly followed, but as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Zhang Junyu. Zhang Junyu stared at Jia Jinliang with a livid face, and Jia Jinliang did not dare to move.

With a "bang" sound, Zhang Qingyu closed the door.

Jia Jinliang stood in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to Chen Hao with a smiling face, but Chen Hao just nodded politely and led his group to another wing relatively nearby.

Jiang Cheng shrugged and left with the fat man.

But within a few steps, Jia Jinliang caught up with him, "Brother Jiang, Brother Wang." Jia Jinliang smiled very discreetly, showing a gold tooth at the corner of his mouth, "You two look like talented people, let's sleep tonight Let’s work together and rely on each other.”

"It's inconvenient. I can't sleep with outsiders here." Jiang Cheng dismissed Jia Jinliang in a few words, and then led the fat man into a side room.

Jia Jinliang stood outside the door for a while and said good things for a while. He realized that Jiang Cheng had no intention of opening the door, so he had to lead A Biao, who had never spoken, to leave and go to the last wing.

The fat man hid behind the door and watched Jia Jinliang and the others go away through the gap before he felt relieved.

The wing in front of them is not very big and is divided into two rooms, the inner and the outer. There is a table in the middle of the outer room where they are now, a few wooden chairs, a landscape painting hanging on the wall, and the decoration is antique.

Indeed, as the man leading the way said, these rooms had been tidied up and looked very clean. Jiang Cheng had already walked around the room and walked out of the bedroom inside.

The fat man sat at the table and touched the teapot. It was hot. He couldn't help but pour himself a glass of water. Then he poured another glass for the doctor. He didn't drink it. He covered the teacup with his hand to keep warm.

"I'm telling you, doctor, what's wrong with you? Listen to your self-introduction. Is that something a normal person can say?" A fat man who shows his enemy is weak can understand it, but a fat person who shows his enemy a crazy person cannot understand it. .

Jiang Cheng also sat down and took the teacup handed over by the fat man. After looking at it, he took a sip and said, "This time is different from before." Jiang Cheng whispered, "There is something wrong with that old guy named Yu Chengmu." "

The fat man felt uncomfortable thinking about Yu Chengmu's old face that looked like dead tree bark. "I also think he is weird, but I can't tell. His two apprentices are also pretty weird."

"You remember that young man named Zhou Qing? His gesture of knocking on the door was weird." Fatty recalled.

Jiang Cheng seemed to suddenly become interested after hearing this, "I didn't see him knocking on the door. It was blocked. You can learn from me."

"Oh, good doctor." The fat man stood up and recalled while gesturing to Jiang Cheng, "He knocked first from above, then... then again here, and finally from the right, three times in total, but the door was obviously unlocked. There’s no one inside, who is he knocking for?”

Jiang Cheng held the cup and frowned slightly. After a moment, he said, "It's for ghosts."

After hearing this, the fat man's expression turned sour. "Doctor, don't scare me in the middle of the night. We have been to this place many times. We will encounter ghosts whenever we come up."

Jiang Cheng looked at the door and whispered: "Zhou Qing's knocking technique is very particular. The first knock on the top is to worship the gods, as he is worried about offending the gods passing by inside. The second knock in the middle is to respect the ghosts, which is the house. The owner of the house, knocking on the right for the third time, is to pay tribute to his colleagues. After all, the door has been opened, and thieves will not escape. They hope that there are treasures that their colleagues have forgotten, so that they can pick them up. "

The fat man was stunned for a moment. "Doctor, are they thieves? No, no, you just said that the second knock was to honor ghosts. What if the owner of the house is a ghost?"

After a moment, the fat man seemed to have figured it out, and his eyes slowly opened wide: "They...are they tomb robbers?"

"It's very possible." Jiang Cheng said bluntly: "They have a very strange smell on their bodies. Also, if you observe their footsteps, they are deeper and shallower, and when finding their way, they always walk close to the wall. Zhang Qingyu is leading the way. One hand still touched the wall, because the light in the tomb was dark and I was worried that I couldn’t see the mechanism clearly, so I had to feel it with my hand.”

"But why are they so concerned about such a house? Is it an occupational disease?" Fatty always trusted Jiang Cheng's words unconditionally, even if he couldn't understand it.

Later, Jiang Cheng turned to look at him. Under the candlelight, his face was not clear, and the fat man was a little nervous. "Because this is a tomb." Jiang Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Tomb..." In Fatty's mind, cemeteries are all buried underground. The house is a bit dilapidated now, but judging from the furnishings, it must have been a wealthy family in the past. How come it became a cemetery?

"Did you see the rockery when you came in?" Jiang Cheng asked.

The fat man nodded his chin, "Look...I saw it."

"Then did you see the water?"

Hearing this, the fat man fell into memories. On their way here, they did see a large rockery in the front yard. It was surrounded by shadows and seemed to have a lot of decorations, but they did not see anything like a lake or pond. .

"Water represents anger. If there is a mountain but no water, there will be no vitality. As the saying goes, it stops at the boundary of water, because anger will stop when it encounters water." After a pause, Jiang Cheng continued: "There used to be water near that rockery. But after the owner of this house died, it was filled in. There is also a saying that the rockery is a Guillotine Mountain. "

The fat man shrank his neck unconsciously when he heard the word "decapitation".

"Double Hill means that after the owner of the house died, the remaining people smashed and pushed down the highest peak of the rockery. This also means that the owner of the house did not die in a normal way and was extremely resentful."

"This place has been transformed into a ghost house." Jiang Cheng felt helpless.

"Damn it, I knew these villagers had bad intentions!" The fat man recalled that time in Xiaoshijian Village, the flesh on his face tightened and he looked very fierce.

After calming down later, the fat man couldn't help but worry, "Doctor, since Yu Chengmu and the others are tomb robbers, they must know more than us. Those people are not good people, so we have to be careful." This mission is considered a head-on collision. As for Chengmu and the three of them, it was within the business scope. No wonder the old guy was so arrogant.

"By the way, doctor." The fat man asked curiously: "How do you know the secrets in this industry? Do you have friends who visit other people's ancestral graves?"

"I have a friend who likes to be arty. His girlfriend is very rich, and she always invests..." Halfway through, Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped talking.

The fat man immediately realized who the friend the doctor was talking about was.

Pi Nguyen.

There are countless people around a doctor who can be called friends, and Pi Ruan is a very special one among them.

After sensing the doctor's mood swings, the fat man immediately changed the subject: "Doctor, we must not let them know that we have guessed that they are tomb robbers, otherwise they will definitely kill us."

In this lawless world, they have no worries.

Jiang Cheng was very cooperative with Fatty this time. After pausing for a few seconds, he continued to analyze him: "You are right, we have to guard against it. Judging from their methods, they are a group of very professional tomb robbers."

"Yu Chengmu is the leader of this group, that is, the person responsible for finding the ancient tomb and identifying the treasures inside. His two apprentices, the older one is called Cha Guan, that is, Zhang Qingyu, is responsible for Pathfinders know how to dig holes and eliminate traps like quicksand in ancient tombs.”

"The younger ones are called helpers. They are the smartest and have good skills. They are the main force in the work and are the ones who insert the sticks."

Listening to Jiang Cheng's step-by-step analysis, Fatty felt that people were really different. In front of the doctor, his brain circuit was even worse than that of single-celled animals.

Huaiyi once drank too much and hugged the two of them and joked that if the three of them were tied together, there would be a total of 200 tricks, one for himself and 199 for the doctor.

The fat man was still pointing at the doctor and laughing, but he didn't react until noon the next day.

But I have to say that after the fat man went through the performances of Yu Chengmu, Zhang Junyu, and Zhou Qing in his head, he knew that the doctor was at least eighty-nine percent right. Yu Chengmu obviously played the role of military advisor, and Zhou Qing was The errand boy was only responsible for pushing the door open, and then returned to Yu Chengmu to take care of him. The next step of finding the way in was left to Zhang Junyu.

After thinking about it, the fat man said cautiously: "Doctor, a professional tomb robbing gang has more than three roles, right?"

"Of course it's more than that. At least there should be a backer, that is, the boss who brings these people together and is responsible for providing equipment, investing funds, and paying dividends to these people." Jiang Cheng said calmly.

When he heard the word "boss", the fat man's expression changed, obviously thinking of something bad.

Seeing the fat man's face, Jiang Cheng nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we have all seen this person before. He is that Jia Jinliang. I was observing Zhang Junyu's footsteps just now and was noticed by that old fox Yu Chengmu. That Jia Jinliang is following If those who come here to spy on us find out who we are, they won’t be able to let us go.”

"Jia Jinliang, and... and A Biao next to him, and Yu Chengmu are in the same group!" The fat man couldn't help but gasped. There were 11 people in total, and their group of desperadoes accounted for nearly half.

"Well, that Abiao should be Jia Jinliang's bodyguard. He looks inconspicuous and doesn't speak much, but his eyes are very fierce. There are probably lives in his hands. The bosses in this industry like to hire bodyguards from Southeast Asia. This industry is full of gangsters. Many people kill people and throw them into ancient tombs, and then fill up the holes. No one may notice it for decades. "

After listening to Jiang Cheng's analysis, the fat man thought of Jia Jinliang's flattering face and felt chills in his heart. He also realized one thing. Not long ago, Yu Chengmu and Jia Jinliang and Abiao came from the same road. Moreover, the time between the two groups was very short.

Now it seems that the five of them came in together, but after seeing them from a distance, they were divided into two groups. Among them, three of Yu Chengmu were in the light and two of Jia Jinliang were in the dark, just like they used to be. .
