The two old men began to recall.

Shituoling Tower was built by a young man named Wei He, and he was born without father and mother, and grew up eating a variety of meals.

He went out to work when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he went there for ten years.When he came back again, he made a little money and brought back a very beautiful wife.

As soon as Wei He came back, he bought a piece of land in the middle and lower reaches of the town to build a hotel to attract tourists to stay.

It's just that on the first day of the hotel's opening, he himself was broken by a tile that fell from it. He is still resting at home, and the hotel is temporarily under the care of his wife.

His wife is very beautiful and dresses very revealingly. The women in the town spread the word that this kind of woman is not serious, and often see many men staying in hotels for several days, and then the gossip in the town spreads more and more.wide.

In addition to today's strange phenomenon, everyone said it was because Wei He brought back dirty things.

Having said that, the old people paused for a moment.

Shen Huo took a mouthful of noodles, and asked doubtfully, "It's gone?"

"Don't worry, I'm thinking about how to start." The old man pondered for a while and continued: "By the way, when he was building the rent, a strange thing happened. There is a willow tree behind the hotel, which is more than a hundred years old.It's very big, and people often burn paper money there and make offerings and sacrifices. But since the hotel was built, the willow tree has died inexplicably. Later, some people said that Wei He provoked unclean things, and even the willow god couldn't suppress it..”

"willow?"

"Wei He is the child he picked up under that willow tree, and he himself worships willow tree as his godfather."

Worshiping willows as relatives is very common in small towns and rural areas, because children's eyes are relatively pure and they can see things that others cannot see, and they are coveted by ghosts and gods. At this time, they need to ask the children to seek the protection of gods.

The two uncles sighed for a while, and then brought the topic to Wei He.

Wei He enshrined a tablet without a word at his home. It was said that he met a benefactor outside and died of illness, but he didn't know the name of that person, so he found a tablet without a word to enshrine.

"Our older generation said that enshrining a tablet without a word or a name will attract other things to live in it and bring evil spirits. The mayor went to tell Wei He and asked him to take the wooden tablet. Not only did Wei He not listen,Said it was his benefactor, and mocked the mayor whether he would repay his kindness, ignoring his benefactor and having no one to worship him, which made the mayor leave with a livid face."

Shen Huo asked: "What kind of personality is this Wei He?"

"It's hard to comment. When I was a child, I was obedient and sensible. Everyone liked him very much. But after he came out, his temperament changed drastically. He was arrogant and conceited. He was very philistine. He has never been back for ten years. Now that he is back, he has started to pretend to be an old man.All the food back then was fed to the dogs!"

"It's not..."

After Shen Huo had a general understanding, he said a few words to the two old men and left.

The hotel operators are Wei He and his wife.

From the mouths of the two old people, Wei He is a philistine, and on the surface he knows how to repay his kindness, but he is also selfish when facing the people in the town.

This man has a secret!

I don't know what role his wife plays in it.

Shen Huo looked back at the noisy town, the people coming and going, what were these people playing in it?He didn't believe that the ghost building brought him a few years ago just for fun, there must be a secret in it.

He returned to the gazebo with the white rice porridge and asked someone to give Zhang Sen two bites.

"Brother Huo, where do we sleep tonight? We don't have any money with us right now."

From his distance, Shen Huo could just see some buildings of the ghost building, and a dry willow tree behind the ghost building, leaning its body a few meters above the water.

The willow tree is very tall and big, with no green leaves, only dry branches with the trunk completely crooked towards the water, looking like an old man with a crooked neck.

"The Lion Camel Tower."

Everyone's expressions changed, "No, brother Huo, let's go in again? Can I not go?"

"Yes, it's really scary in there. I'd rather sleep on the street than go in!"

"Brother Huo, can we think of a compromise, I'm really afraid of that."

Everyone was talking in a hurry, but at this moment, the sky darkened quickly.

Pedestrians on the road left in a panic, and soon the whole street became depressed.

Shen Huo, who realized something was wrong, said directly: "Hurry up and go back to the ghost building now."

"I won't go, the ghost building is too scary, I don't want to go."

Lumao insisted on not leaving, he was afraid of the things inside, elusive, and he had to stop being frightened if he didn't die, anyway, he was afraid.

The other person was also unwilling to go in. He stood with Lumao and didn't speak, but his meaning was obvious.

Shen Huo looked at the sky, then turned to look at the two green hairs, "Are you sure you don't want to leave?"

Seeing the confused expression on their faces, the two began to hesitate.

"Oh, why don't you young people go to bed?"

The mayor came out of the darkness with a flashlight and looked at the crowd with a smile.

"It's getting late, if you don't mind, go to my house to rest for a while."

Shen Huo still rejected the mayor as before. He couldn't see anything wrong with the mayor, but his instinct told him not to trust anyone in it.

"Mayor, thank you for your kindness. We have somewhere to go, so let's go first."

The mayor smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you don't find a place to live, you can stay at my house. It's dark, and it's not safe to walk at night."

Lumao and the other person didn't want to go back again. Seeing this, they were delighted and immediately asked the mayor.

"Mayor, we have no money for the time being, can you wait for me..."

Before they finished speaking, the mayor laughed and said, "It's okay, all the guests are here, and I don't need money to live in my house. It just so happens that my mother-in-law is cooking, so we all come to have something to eat together."

Shen Huo didn't look back this time, the others hesitated, the things in the ghost building almost scared them out of their bodies last night, isn't it just to deliver food when they go back at this time.

Shen Huo is indeed powerful, but he can't take care of so many people if something happens.

Besides, Shen Huo didn't know what the ghost building was before. They were ordinary people and didn't want to take risks.

Another man of unsteady mind left.

Dona and the other two girls stared at the group of people who followed Lumao away, stamped their feet angrily, "How could they behave like this!"

Wen Liang said softly: "Forget it, it's normal for them to be afraid, help me, I can't deal with them both alone."

Several women hurried forward to help Zhang Sen and the others.

At this moment, the two of them can move, but not with great strength.

"Brother Huo, is it okay for them to follow?"

Shen Huo paused for a moment, then continued walking.

"I'm not sure," he said.

Dona supported Zhang Sen and asked, "Brother Huo, do you think something is wrong with this town?"

Shen Huo didn't hide it: "I can't say it, but I think it's weird. Tell me directly, although the ghost building is dangerous, but be careful, there may be a chance to go out, but I'm not sure when I get out of the ghost building."

Everyone was even more worried about things that even Shen Huo wasn't sure about.

"Then shall I call them back now?" Someone asked tentatively.

Wen Liang shook his head rationally: "It's useless, they won't come back. They have been frightened by the things in the ghost building, and now no matter how much you persuade them, they won't turn back. If you force them to turn back too forcefully, they willMaybe I will still hate you. If something happens, I don’t know what will happen.”

"Forget it, what Wen Liang said is right, they made their own choices, and they will bear the consequences themselves." Dona told others this truth more clearly than Wen Liang.

When everyone returned to the ghost building, all the dead birds around were cleaned up quickly, only the smell of blood remained.

The door of the ghost building was opened, and there was a beautifully dressed woman sitting on the counter, but the woman's brows were full of sorrow, when she saw Shen Yu and the others, she quickly hid herself, and looked at Shen Yu with a smile on her face.everyone.

"I thought you guys wouldn't come back."

Everyone: "?"

The woman's smile remained unchanged, "Did the guests forget the room number? I have a registration here, you wait."

"Mr. Zhang Sen lives at 409, Mr. Zhou Wu lives at 401, Mr. Wen Liang lives at 304, Mr. Shen Huo lives at 302, Ms. Dona lives at 205, Zhang Na lives at 206, and Ms. Li Lili lives at 208.It's your house number, by the way, the other gentlemen."

Everyone's jaws dropped from the house number read out by the woman, and they didn't react at all.

Shen Huo said calmly, "They went to live elsewhere."

The woman's smiling face was a little stiff, and she sighed and said, "It's normal, after all, it's normal to be afraid when something like this happens now."

Shen Huo stared at the woman and asked, "Are you the proprietress here?"

The woman smiled and said, "What kind of lady boss, maybe it will be closed someday."

"How is Mr. Wei?"

The woman replied: "Can it be the same as before? The hamstring was broken. The doctor said that even if it can be cured, it may affect walking. I wondered, how could the tiles fall? If it wasn't for the old lady, the tiles would probably fall off.It hit my husband on the head."

"Does the proprietress know that old lady?"

The woman shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't been in town for long, and many people don't know each other well."

Shen Huo comforted the woman, then walked upstairs. After leaving the first floor, they found that several floors were occupied by people, and there were children laughing.

"Brother Huo, shall we still go to the fourth floor?"

Shen Huo shook his head, and chose to push away the room he chose on the third floor. Room 302 was a standard single room with simple decoration.

"Just live here."

They helped Zhang Sen and Zhou Wu to bed and found a comfortable place to rest.

"It's too unreal. We came to a few years ago. Are the people in those rooms human or something else?"

Others chose not to answer this scalp-numbing question.

Dona concluded: "No matter what they are, at present, it is safest for us to stay in the room."

And Shen Huo looked out the window, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and he said something abruptly.

"it's dark."
