Shen Ningning scolded: "What are you doing!"
Those people turned around and saw a handsome little baby girl with a pretty girl beside him. Both of them looked unfriendly.
When he looked around again, he saw a huge black wolf standing next to the little girl.
The Black Wolf King is a movable type sign. When you see it, you will know that Princess Funing is here even if you don't recognize Shen Ningning.
The head shopkeeper quickly calmed down his anger and ran to Shen Ningning, greeting and apologizing.
"Your Highness Princess, please don't get me wrong. We are not bullying this family, but their old man Xu promised me to help me with work. When it was time to work, he ran away."
Shen Ningning frowned and took the shopkeeper away with her little hand. I took a second look at the so-called drawing paper certificate.
It turned out that the shopkeeper was a carpentry owner in the nearby town of Guangyang.
After Xu Jingxi injured his arm, the Xu family temporarily had no source of income.
Grandpa Xu deposited all the money sent by Lu Shaoyuan in a bank account, intending to use it as money for Xu Jingxi to marry and build a house in the future.
Therefore, the life of the grandfather and grandson is still as poor as before.
In order to take care of Xu Jingxi, Grandpa Xu was introduced by the villagers and took a carpentry job from Guangyang Town that others did not dare to take.
The job was to go to a house and remove some unnecessary wooden beams.
No one among the carpenters in the town dared to take the job. Only Grandpa Xu saw the high remuneration offered by the shopkeeper and accepted it on a whim.
The carpentry shopkeeper spread his hands with Shen Ningning and complained: "Your Highness, this old man went there once, but then came back and said he didn't want to go."
"But my construction period is ready to be handed over, and I'm just waiting for the wood to be demolished in this house. I wanted to do the work for the person who entrusted me with it, but Old Man Xu hid from me for three days. Your Highness, please tell me, can you do this job?"
Shen Ningning has always been fair, but after hearing this, she felt that Grandpa Xu was doing something wrong.
However, Grandpa Xu is not such an irresponsible person.
Ye Changyi glanced at the address of the house on the deed.
She was suddenly surprised: "Ah! It's actually the big red-tiled house on Sheliang Mountain?"
Shen Ningning looked at her: "Do you know where it is?"
"I've heard that it's a ghost house!"
Ye Changyi said, akimbo and staring. The carpenter shopkeeper asked: "No wonder others don't dare to take it. You have the nerve to urge Grandpa Xu to go to a place like that where people will die?" The
carpenter shopkeeper coughed slightly and looked embarrassed: "They say that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. I've already given the price, and Old Man Xu picked it up again, he can't help but go, right?"
At this moment, Xu Jingxi's cold voice came from the yard.
"My grandpa can't go. When he came back last time, he was so frightened that he had a high fever, so I went for him."
Shen Ningning saw Xu Jingxi's tall and handsome figure walking out of the house.
The carpenter shopkeeper was afraid that he would regret it: "This is what you said! I settled the banknote for you in advance. You can't regret it again!"
As he said that, he hurriedly put the banknote into Xu Jingxi's hand.
However, he ran away with the people, not forgetting to turn around and shout all the way: "You must go! You will come back after dismantling the wooden beams in three days!"
Ye Changyi stamped her feet angrily when she saw them running so fast.
"I've made it clear that I'm bullying people, so what can I do if I don't go?"
However, when she turned around, she saw that Xu Jingxi had already gone to the yard to get tools.
Like getting ready to go now.
Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "Are you really going?"
Ye Changyi was also surprised: "Xu Jingxi, you are crazy. Many people died in that place. It used to be a mass grave, but later it was bought and a house built. But That whole family was seriously injured."
"After they moved out, they hired many carpenters and craftsmen to dig the foundation, but they all died! You should know why your grandfather was so frightened."
Shen Ningning didn't listen and still didn't know, was there such a terrifying place in this world?
Is there really a ghost?
If so, why hasn't her mother visited her? The little guy didn't believe it.
Xu Jingxi was loading his tools, and he said in a calm tone: "It doesn't matter, I'm lucky."
He said such words seriously, which made people laugh.
Shen Ningning looked at him: "Well, let's go with you! There are more people and one more person to take care of you, so you won't be afraid."
"Us?!" Ye Changyi raised her voice and pointed at herself: " You won't count me in, right?"
Shen Ningning blinked and looked at her: "You said you like to play with me, are you going to give up now?"
Ye Changyi was about to cry but had no tears. , but that's a big house with red tiles! I heard that I went to the eminent monk before and wanted to be saved, but I was frightened like crazy after I came back." Shen Ningning patted the Black Wolf King on the head: "What are you afraid of? We have wolves. No matter what evil heretics are, they can't hurt us!"
The little guy's face was filled with innocence and excitement. The Black Wolf King sat up straight and straightened up slightly. chest.
Ye Changyi had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, then I'll go with you, but I have to bring ten guards with me!"
It's always good to be just in case.
Xu Jingxi wanted to persuade the two of them to stay, but when he saw Shen Ningning's curious face, he simply stopped.
Before leaving, Xu Jingxi asked her neighbors to take care of Grandpa Xu for half a day and come back at dawn tomorrow.
When those neighbors heard that he was going to stay in the red-tiled mansion for a night, they all shook their heads and sighed -
"My poor boy, he might just stay there and never come back. He is really forced by life."
Sheliang Mountain is east of the capital. A long time ago It was a mass grave. Later, the court bulldozed the mass grave in order to acquire land for farming.
But whatever was planted in that land died, so it became barren again.
Until several families pooled their money and built several large houses there together. They originally wanted to live a good life, but then there was internal fighting, and family members killed each other, causing heavy casualties.
After this happened, several craftsmen came to the city to bulldoze the house and rebuild it, but they also died inside.
There are also a few people who escaped from the adventure and they all went crazy. People who have been there and come back alive basically say that there are ghosts inside, or a group of ghosts!
Therefore, I have heard that the craftsmen of the red-tiled mansion will never take orders from them again.
Only Grandpa Xu accepted this commission for the sake of livelihood.
It was almost evening when Shen Ningning and the others arrived at the foot of Sheliang Mountain.
The dusk is tilted, and the setting sun is like blood, splashing across the dark mountains. The autumn wind blows, and the leaves in the mountains make a clear rustling sound.
Ye Changyi rubbed her shoulders and hid behind Shen Ningning with some fear.
"It's getting dark. Are we sure we're going up the mountain now? It's too dark to start work, right? Why don't we come back early tomorrow morning?"
Xu Jingxi shook his head and patted the baggage on his back: "I brought a lot of lamps and candles. Everything is ready."
Ye Changyi cried out: "Then what shall we eat?"
Shen Ningning pointed decisively at the food box in the guard's hand.
"Look! The food we brought just now can be used just right, enough for us to eat until tomorrow, hehe!"
Looking at the similar calmness of the two of them, Ye Changyi screamed in his heart.
Xu Jingxi and Shen Ningning have such a tacit understanding as good brothers and sisters! Aren't they both afraid?
The deeper they walked into the mountains, the more they ran counter to the color of the sunset, until the sky turned gray and blue, and everyone could only see the outlines of shadows, but could not see anything clearly.
"We're here." Xu Jingxi pointed to the large village not far away, located in a flat field.
Shen Ningning and Ye Changyi looked up.
The red tile mansion, as the name suggests, has red bricks and pale walls.
The walls were mottled with marks as if they had been burned.
When I got closer, I saw countless black handprints, as if many people wanted to escape from here, but they couldn't get out of the red-tiled mansion even though they were holding on to the wall.
Ye Changyi was already trembling with fear.
"Ghost, ghost house, it must be a ghost house."
The Black Wolf King sniffed, but felt that there was something pungent about the smell.
It had a sensitive sense of smell, so Shen Ningning opened her little hands and shouted, "What a quiet place!"
When she shouted, the big black birds in the surrounding woods flapped their wings and flew up.
Like black ghosts, screaming sharply, passing over the mountains above their heads.
Ye Changyi screamed in fright.
She finally calmed down, but the door of the red-tiled mansion in front of them was half open.
Ye Changyi's scalp suddenly felt numb.
"Wait a minute... wasn't this door still closed when we just came here? Which of you went in?"
She turned around and saw that everyone was there, and no one was near the door.
So...
Shen Ningning's soft voice was full of innocence: "You can open the door by yourself!"
Ye Changyi screamed and rolled her eyes in fear.
