Chapter 154 Strange noise in the attic
It was already dark by this time, and it was originally cloudy all day today.
When the three of us approached the small foreign-style building, there happened to be a few birds circling on the roof under the dim sky, instantly making the place feel spooky.
This small foreign-style building is taller than I thought.
Maybe the reason why it looks tall is because the attic on the roof is triangular and has a pointed roof, so it looks taller visually, right?
Looking at the surrounding walls, it is obvious that they are not of the same color and masonry, because the wall next to the road was built later, and the workmanship is very rough, with cracks in the bricks coming in and out.
The rest of the place is made of big blue bricks, but the ones near the road are just the cheapest red clay bricks.
Unfortunately, even if it occupies most of the yard, the road outside is still very narrow, making it difficult for two cars to pass side by side.
After all, the main means of transportation in the past were horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws, and later bicycles, but now the mainstream is cars, so the small road outside looks even narrower.
Right above the entrance of the small western-style building, there is a protruding area, which may be a small balcony on the second floor.
The balcony is very small and is actually used to protrude to protect the door from rain.
But I felt very bad at this time, because the protrusion blocked all the light, making the doorway feel even deeper.
So it's not like we're entering a room, but more like we're entering a cave.
The door was not locked or closed tightly, and there was a dark crack.
Before Lao Chen raised his hand to push the door open, he turned around and glanced at Er Miao and me...
It seems that he just wants to see if we are still there, as if Ermiao and I will disappear out of thin air at any time?
Seeing that Ermiao and I were very close to him, Lao Chen smiled bitterly, and then he pushed open the door of the small foreign building...
Immediately...
There was a "creak" sound...
It's like the soundtrack in a horror movie, it makes your teeth ache!
With the harsh knock on the door, I followed Lao Chen and walked in...
Take a quick look...
It was really dark inside and I couldn't see anything clearly!
It is said to be dark. On the one hand, many windows are covered with scrap newspapers, preventing light from entering. On the other hand, the walls on the ground floor are also black. This is not surprising, because there was a fire here.
Moreover, as soon as we entered the ground floor of the small building, we immediately smelled a damp and cold smell.
This smell is also mixed with a faint burnt smell.
Even though the fire happened two years ago, it has been so long, why is there still such a burnt smell?
But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that it's dark and humid here and there's not much ventilation, and you can still smell something burnt.
Just then...
I heard a "gulu" sound, and then heard a "sneeze" sound!
The grunting sound in the front is the sound of Lao Chen swallowing saliva, and the sneezing sound in the back is the sound of Er Meow feeling a little cold immediately after coming in, so he sneezed!
I don’t blame Er Meow for sneezing, because soon, I couldn’t help but sneeze myself!
Although it was cloudy all day today and the sun didn't shine, the weather in early spring was not very cold. Sitting in Lao Chen's car, I was still sweating a little.
However……
Ever since I entered the courtyard of this small foreign-style building, I felt as if the surrounding temperature had become a little cooler.
When I actually entered the small building, I felt even colder. It seemed that the temperature here was at least 10 degrees lower than the outside temperature.
Maybe you will think that it is all caused by nervousness and my own subjective feelings.
but……
It is indeed much colder inside than outside, because the hairs on the back of my hands can't lie, they are all bristle at this time!
At this time, Ermiao's throat suddenly felt a little itchy, and he said: "Let me tell you, is this place very suitable for a horror movie set? You can just shoot without a set. Hey, isn't it very atmospheric?"
After saying this, Lao Chen and I still ignored Er Miao.
Ermiao had no choice but to ask in confusion: "What's wrong? Did I say the wrong thing again?!"
At this moment, the three of us are standing in the center of the ground floor.
Lao Chen took a deep breath, maybe to relax, and he deliberately grinned at me.
In fact, it is better not to smile, Lao Chen’s smile is uglier than crying!
"Hehehe... Xiaoma, this is it. Nothing else. It's just a little cold. But I have a piece of cold-proof clothing in the trunk. I'll get it for you now..." After finishing speaking, Lao Chen walked out.
.
Maybe Lao Chen is timid and took the opportunity to hide first.
After Lao Chen left, I said to Ermiao: "Before the live broadcast, please accompany me upstairs to check!"
Ermiao, who has always been silly and bold, agreed immediately, with quite an excited face!
There was no furniture on the ground floor to put things on, so I had to put my suitcase directly on the floor.
After opening the box, the first thing I took out was the flashlight.
While I was working on it, Ermiao walked around the ground floor excitedly, muttering: "Brother, this place has a great atmosphere. Maybe it will become popular if we make a short video?"
With that said, Ermiao took out his newly purchased equipment, which was the action camera, and opened it and debugged it.
At this time, I had already found the stairs going upstairs with my flashlight. I raised my foot and stepped on the stairs. I tried it and it felt very strong.
Because I have seen many such movies before, I have the impression that the stairs in this kind of small western-style building are all made of wood, and they will make strange creaking sounds when you step on them.
The stairs here are very strong and make no sound when you step on them.
I feel that this small building was designed for the warlord after all. The materials used were very solid and it was definitely not a shoddy project, because when the building was built, the warlord still had military power and the craftsmen did not dare to be careless.
Therefore, this small building has experienced ups and downs for more than a hundred years, and even had a moderate fire, but it is still very strong today.
I held up a flashlight and looked up. The light on the second floor was brighter than the ground floor, so I didn't find anything strange.
I shouted to Ermiao: "Well, come up with me and take a look..."
Ermeow held up a mobile phone in one hand and an action camera in the other, and followed me upstairs...
The stairs are not long and it doesn't take much time to walk up.
The entire second floor is nothing special, just a few rooms, some with closed doors and some with open doors, which should be bedrooms and bathrooms.
In the innermost part of the corridor, there is a rectangular vertical window that lets in light from the outside, so the second floor does not look very dark.
We continued going up the stairs and soon reached the third floor.
The terrain here is exactly the same as on the second floor, and there is also a window at the end of the corridor.
There are branches outside the windows. In this season, the leaves have not grown yet and are bare. There are only some dry leaves hanging on them, so some light can penetrate, even brighter than on the second floor.
Ermiao and I briefly checked and there was nothing suspicious on the three floors.
Originally, Ermiao and I were planning to go downstairs...
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a rustling sound...
It wasn't coming from the surroundings, but it seemed to be coming from the roof...
hiss……
Suddenly I thought...
There are not only three floors here, but there is also a loft at the top!
