Just when Zhang Yuan had just climbed into the yard, he confirmed that there was no danger, and immediately lowered his voice and called Wu Shan's name softly.
Soon, Wu Shan also successfully climbed into the yard, and then the two of them tiptoed and carefully groped towards the direction of the house.
"What should we do now?" Wu Shan looked at the three-story building in front of him, frowned, and a heavy expression appeared on his face, and a feeling of not knowing where to start surged in his heart.
The three-story building of the village chief's family adopts the ancient wooden style. The stairs are located on one side of the building, and there is an aisle in front of the door of each floor. The overall building style is relatively traditional.
Zhang Yuan's eyes seemed particularly calm. After thinking for a moment, he said coldly: "Let's search one floor at a time, starting from the first floor, and we must speed up."
After the voice fell, he bent down slightly and walked quietly towards the house along the corner of the wall.
In this way, the two entered the house smoothly without encountering any danger.
It seemed that the whole family of Village Chief Li was out. Although the sun was shining outside, the house was unusually quiet, as if a pin drop could be heard.
Moreover, the curtains in the room were all half-covered, making the light in the house not bright, giving people a gloomy feeling.
There were three rooms on the first floor of this old house. The one in the middle was the main room, and there was a room on each side.
Each of them picked a room. Although the light in the room was dim, they could still barely see the surrounding environment. They searched carefully on the first floor, but did not find any valuable clues or items.
Then, they carefully went up to the second floor to continue searching.
As for the main room, Zhang Yuan naturally searched it, but there was nothing else except a few tablets placed on the altar.
When they stepped onto the second floor, they found that the two rooms in front seemed to be bedrooms, but there was nothing in them that Zhang Yuan expected.
The third room seemed relatively large and had an inner room.
"What exactly are we looking for in the village chief's house?" Wu Shan asked after searching a drawer again, unable to suppress his inner doubts. He was already sweating profusely at this time, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or other reasons.
"The village roster! And the village event files!" Zhang Yuan answered while continuing to search the drawer in his hand without looking up.
Just when Wu Shan wanted to continue to say something, suddenly, a violent cough came from the direction of the inner room.
And this sudden cough instantly made the bodies of both of them stiffen, standing still in place.
They didn't dare to move at all, and the hair on their backs seemed to be driven by a mysterious force, and stood up at the same moment.
Zhang Yuan's eyes slowly looked towards the house next to them. They were in the outer room on the second floor at this time.
And the creepy cough came from the bedroom on the right side of the outer room. The bedroom door was in a strange half-open and half-closed state, as if it was a portal to an unknown world.
Although it was still broad daylight, the bedroom was filled with a thick darkness that made it impossible to peek into the scene.
This darkness was like a huge monster, swallowing up the entire room and making everything inside blurry.
Wu Shan was in a very special position, just near the entrance of the corridor on the second floor, near the door.
But the problem was that the door had been closed when they came in.
At this moment, he widened his eyes, his eyes full of horror, staring at the half-open and half-closed door, and a strong urge to escape surged in his heart. He wanted to pull the door open and turn around and run.
He longed to escape from this terrible place, get rid of the creepy coughing and endless darkness.
However, despite the fear in his heart, he still tried to suppress this urge.
At this time, Zhang Yuan kept making gestures towards Wu Shan and whispered, "Hide!" It seemed that someone in the house was about to come out. There was an obvious sound of slippers rubbing against the ground, and there were also bangs.
Zhang Yuan's eyes quickly scanned the surrounding environment and found that it was too late to escape.
He made a prompt decision and hid next to the cabinet without hesitation, just covering his body. The other side of the cabinet was facing the bedroom door in the inner room.
Time seemed to freeze, and every second seemed particularly long.
In less than a few breaths, with a slight "squeak", a figure slowly walked out of the inner room...
The figure was hunched over.Zhang Yuan walked with his feet dragging, and every step seemed to be done with all his strength. He coughed from time to time, and there was a special knocking sound.
Feeling the movement on the side of the cabinet, Zhang Yuan's hair seemed to stand up. He subconsciously took a deep breath, let his stomach contract, and kept hiding his body.
And that figure also appeared in Zhang Yuan's peripheral vision, it turned out to be - the old man.
He was holding a thin and long cane in his right hand and knocking in front of him, and his left hand was carefully extended in front of him.
"Blind man!?" Seeing this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief subconsciously, and was glad in his heart. No wonder the house was so dark, it turned out that a blind man lived there.
Although he guessed so, he still didn't make any moves, and his breathing slowed down a bit involuntarily.
The old man leaned on the blind stick and knocked in front of him "bang bang", groped to the water dispenser next to him, and tremblingly took out something like a thermos cup from his pocket.
Seeing the old man's movements, Zhang Yuan felt relieved.
It was an old man, and a blind man.
He subconsciously looked for Wu Shan.
After a quick glance, Zhang Yuan frowned, but he didn't find Wu Shan.
Where did the other person hide?
"Hua La La~" As the thermos was filled with water, the old man took the blind stick and knocked back to the inner room, and closed the door.
At this time, Zhang Yuan finally found Wu Shan's hiding place. The other party was hiding behind a fortune tree next to the water dispenser.
His face was strange, which meant that Wu Shan was standing in front of the old man just now?
Fortunately, the other party was blind, otherwise, it would be troublesome.
But since there was someone in the house, he couldn't stay in the house any longer.
He came to Wu Shan carefully, pulled him, and whispered; "Let's go."
Wu Shan seemed to be frightened, his eyes seemed a little dazed, full of fear.
The two climbed out of the yard along the pomelo tree again, and stopped after walking through several alleys.
"Huh~, it was close, fortunately he was a blind man..." Zhang Yuan wiped the sweat from his face and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Shan, who was standing next to him, suddenly trembled for no reason, like a candle swaying in the wind.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?"
Wu Shan's eyes were full of fear, his face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and he said in a trembling voice: "I, I saw..."
"What did you see?"
"He, he is not, not..." Wu Shan was obviously greatly frightened, and his words were filled with uncontrollable fear, and even crystal tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, like pearls that had broken off the string.
"Not what?" Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, as if an invisible hand had tightly grasped his heart.
"I saw his eyes move and look at me. He, he, he is not blind!!!"
