Entering the house

Xitong silently put her mouth to Makino's ears.

"Makino, why do people here look so strange? They all look listless."

"Indeed, I haven't seen this scene anywhere else, and they look like they've been drained of energy."

Qi Wudao agreed.

"Now, we are visiting the owner of the mining area, and we are really here. I believe that some other discoveries can be made here."

The group came to the door of the owner of the mining area and saw that the pine and cypress at the door were completely yellow, and there were black clouds above the mansion, which gave people an extremely depressing feeling.

However, there is indeed a crisp towering tree inside the mansion that can be seen from afar. When Makino and his friends entered the town, they had already seen it. Unexpectedly, it was inside the owner's house.

Don't pick it and smack your lips.

"Ti Ti, the atmosphere of this tree and this town is completely different. In my opinion, there must be something strange about this house."

Makino quipped and said nothing.

"You still have to say this? How to do it? Or you go in first."

"Hmph," Bai Bucai patted his chest: "I just went in. I just went in. I just went in, so how could I be afraid of this?"

After saying that, Bai Bucai walked forward. He looked at the house covered in clouds and swallowed. Then, he turned around and looked at the people behind him who were staring at him, and had to reach out to the door handle.

At this time, the door opened itself. An old man with black eyes appeared inside the door. He seemed to have not been sleeping for several days, giving people a feeling of extreme haggardness.

This scared Bai Bucai and shivered.

"Old man, why do you look like this? I haven't closed my eyes for a few days? This owner is too harsh, so I have to work like this miserable situation."

The old man laughed and his old voice came out.

"My owner didn't ask me to do anything, but for some reason, I'm getting tired these days. Maybe my old bones have reached a certain age, so that's what it should be like."

Qi Wudao felt a lot of feelings and stepped forward to take out the token.

"We are the people who specially ordered the investigation of some cases by the Emperor of the Imperial Capital. I hope this old man can help inform the owner of this house. We have some important matters to ask him."

When the old man heard this, his eyes widened.

"Oh, it turns out that it is a big man from the imperial capital. I saw this token more than ten years ago and it was the one that the imperial envoy should have brought. I just didn't know Mount Tai just now, so I might have spoken a little more frivolously. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, please inform me."

"Okay, I'll go and report now."

Qi Wudao breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that no one in this remote town would recognize the token, so he had to ask the county magistrate responsible for the place to introduce it. Now, since the old man knew it, it would save a lot of complicated things.

After a while, the old man walked out, opened the door, bowed and invited Qi Wudao and the others to come in.

Everyone in the room was gloomy and cold. It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and it should be the time when the sun was burning. However, as soon as I entered the town, I felt a chill. This house was even more strange. The sunlight was not direct, and it was only half bright. Some shades needed oil lamps to illuminate it. Rather than saying that this was a mansion, it was more appropriate to say that this was a tomb.

When they entered the main hall, they saw a dead corpse sitting on a bamboo chair, dressed in gorgeous clothes. When they moved the dead corpse, Muye and the others realized that this was a living person!

The crisp big tree that Makino and the others just saw was actually planted in the hall, and the tree went straight through the roof and grew out.

And the living person seemed extremely haggard, which led to this. In addition, the man's hair was yellow and slightly black, which showed that he was a middle-aged man.

Makino's psychological activities are extremely complicated. He thought that a middle-aged man could do more haggard than an elderly man. I was wrong. I always thought that the miner boss was a stingy person, but he didn't expect that he was a practical worker. The boy exclaimed.

"This boss is really practicing it and can do his career to this extent."

The boss waved his hand and made an extremely hoarse voice.

"No, I will definitely enjoy it first when I make money. I will let everyone do the work. If I can lie in bed, who would want to go out to work?"

At this time, the old man asked you to sit down, then carried a large tray to show the tea to all the guests. Then, he took a cup of tea and sat next to the boss and started to blow tea.

Makino admired that the relationship between master and servant is pretty good. If guests come to visit, the servant can still drink tea and listen to the news.

However, the next second, the old man handed the cold tea to the boss's mouth, and the boss tilted his head and took a sip.

Makino's heart was full of fluctuations.

"This boss is really ill."

The boss's voice was still hoarse.

“How to say it?”

"You need someone to feed your tea. You can see that you are seriously ill. You have to see a doctor more."

The boss giggled.

"No, I can still move, I'm just lazy. Except for the time when I was going to the mine to see someone lifted me up, I just sat or lie down on weekdays. I've been used to it for decades. I have no choice but to enjoy money."

Makino feels full of fuss. I have found so many excuses to explain why you are so haggard, but your lifestyle should be obese and unable to walk.

Qi Wudao saw that Muye wanted to complain, but he was afraid that Muye would delay his inquiry, so he interrupted.

"This gentleman, we are here today to ask you about your mining area."

"Oh," the dry corpse's eyes lit up: "What's wrong with my mining area? Could it be that some case involves my mining area?"

"It does have some connections, but you don't have to panic. We have some questions, please reply."

The corpse returned to its original bleakness.

"It's okay, please ask. Anyway, I've no longer used the mining area and can't open it. Fortunately, I have other industries, which is enough for my life."

Several people looked at each other and Qi Wudao asked.

"You once reported to the official that there was an unexpected death of a miner in your mining area. Did you close your mining area because of this?"

The boss was sad when he heard this. He looked at the old man. The old man understood it and began to talk about the mining area.

The mine was originally the largest mine, with countless fine ores produced annually. However, later, miners living in the mine often heard the sad cry of women in the middle of the night, and the cry seemed to be coming from the mine cave.

This matter was fine for a day or two, but after a while, no one dared to live in the mine. However, living in other places and working locations are far away, which is not conducive to work. Many workers simply quit.

Later, in order to calm the matter, the boss invited a Taoist priest to do the trick.
