Chapter 34 The Mansion of the Head 18

"Can they do it?" After leaving the room of the three of them, Ding Chiyu looked at Shang Yang.

"For the sake of the four eyes, they will do it." Shang Yang rubbed Dingchiyu's little curly hair.

Knowing that he will be fine tonight, Ding Chiyu thought he would be more relaxed, but when he returned to the room, he couldn't sleep anyway, so he could only play chess with Erba to distract his attention.

Ding Chiyu didn't see Shouhou all afternoon. When he saw him again, it was already time for dinner. Shouhou came to the dining room much earlier than they did. As soon as the two arrived, Shouhou was almost drunk. Not human, crying and making noise, smashing and throwing.

Seeing such a thin monkey, Ding Chiyu felt a little uncomfortable, Shang Yang took dinner from the back kitchen, and took him to the yard under the jujube tree.

The sandy jujube tree was in flowering period, when a gust of breeze blew, the fragrance of flowers overflowed all around, Dingchiyu immediately felt relaxed.

There was a crisp sound of "jingling bells", as if there were wind chimes swaying, the huge canopy of the Jujube tree trembled with the wind, and the jujube flowers immediately filled the sky. When they fell to the ground, Dingchiyu opened his eyes. On the top of the tree, a circle of birdcages covered with curtains hang down evenly, even if the treetop shakes, it will have no effect.

Dingchiyu felt that these birdcages looked familiar, and after a little memory, he quickly remembered that they were the birdcages hanging on the vines in the other courtyard.

Feeling curious, Er Ba flew up from the head of the dingchi fish and landed on a birdcage. With one claw, he picked up a cloth curtain, revealing the birdcage inside.

The birdcage is exquisitely made, and the finely polished cage rods are covered with silver and inlaid with diamonds. When the sun shines, it shines brightly, and Dingchiyu can't help but raise his hand to cover his sight.

At a second glance, Dingchiyu couldn't help feeling dizzy: the birdcage contained not some rare and rare bird, but a human head.

As if disturbed by the sunlight, the human head jumped in the cage uneasily. Under the scattered hair, the pale face was facing this way. Ding Chiyu recognized it at a glance, it turned out to be the first missing bald head.

Erba seemed startled, and as soon as his claws were loosened, he flew back to Dingchiyu's head.

Ding Chiyu seemed to realize something, handed Erba to Shang Yang, then approached the birdcage, raised his hand and lifted the covering curtain.

In the center of the birdcage, a gold medal spelled with emeralds made the number three stand out. Looking at the disturbed bald head inside, Ding Chiyu's eyes darkened slightly, and he sighed softly.

Dingchiyu and Shang Yang went through all the birdcages one by one. The twelve birdcages were numbered sequentially, one and two were empty, the third was bald, the fourth was Tian Jing, the fifth was Fu Jie, Number six is ​​the tattooed man, and the rest are also empty.

After a circle, Ding Chiyu already understood that if he couldn't find the murderer in time, this would be his and Shang Yang's home.

Ding Chiyu was just about to put down the raised curtains, when an exclamation came from not far away, when Ding Chiyu turned around, he saw that the three people with four eyes were stunned in place not far away, and the four eyes were pale. Pale, the food in his hand fell to the ground like this, and it fell to pieces.

The thick eyebrows and the bearded man just looked at a birdcage, and looked at the tattooed man inside for a moment, and then they didn't want to continue watching. They understood what it meant without Ding Chiyu's explanation.

No one ate the meal. Even when they returned to the room, they could still hear the skinny monkey still tossing in the dining room and see the birdcage hanging in the yard.

The birdcage seems to have a magical quality, even if the curtains are closed, for some reason, Dingchiyu always seems to want to open the curtains to take a look at the birdcage.

Shang Yang held Ding Chiyu's hand, which made him gradually restrain the strange thoughts in his mind. While waiting, the sky quickly darkened.

Thick eyebrows and bearded people left earlier than Ding Chiyu and the others. Before leaving, the two of them didn't say much, but their four eyes were quite reluctant.

The four of Ding Chiyu came to the Kuaiyuan this time, and their mood was completely different from last time.

The thin monkey was so drunk that it was carried over by the servants, put it on the bed and passed out.

The process of boiling the medicine was the same as the day before, but the three of them were quite silent. They didn't exchange a word of extraneous communication. They focused their attention on the process. They only kept chewing peanuts, and their crisp voices stirred up the oppressive atmosphere.

When exactly did they fall asleep, the three of Dingchiyu have no memory, but woke up early the next morning, and the green medicinal soup before going to bed in the cauldron has turned dark red, and the person who was sleeping on the bed The thin monkey disappeared.

The three of them didn't say a word, silently skipped breakfast, and after the medicine was accepted, they left this place that they absolutely didn't want to and would never come again.

Back at the residence in the mansion, thick eyebrows and beards have not come back yet.

The four eyes were very anxious, Ding Chiyu couldn't calm down no matter how he comforted him, he paced back and forth in the corridor, his worry was palpable.

It was a full two hours later than the usual return time, and the thick eyebrows and beards were sent back by the servants.

Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, Siyan felt relieved and nearly cried with thick eyebrows.

When the thick eyebrows comforted the four eyes, the bearded beard carefully took out the key of the head, and handed it to Shang Yang with great care: "I leave everything to you."

Ding Chiyu and Shang Yang arrived near the ancestral temple as planned.

This is the quietest place in the mansion, not to mention people, not even a single noise can be heard. Even though there is plenty of sunshine at the moment, there is no warm feeling here at all, instead it looks a bit threatening.

After the two confirmed that there was no one there, they carefully came to the gate of the ancestral temple. Shang Yang took out the key and opened the gate very smoothly according to Ding Chiyu's description.

The two pushed the heavy door open with force at the same time, and a chill came over his face, and Ding Chiyu couldn't help shivering.

Although there is a transom on the ancestral temple, the sunlight seems to be filtered by something, and it can't shine in at all. Shang Yang lit the peeping candle, and after restoring the gate with Dingchiyu, he led the way.

The simple and direct structure of the ancestral temple allows the two of them to have a clear view of the inside.

The two approached the altar, and after careful inspection, they found that there was no mark of Ding Ji under the head of the pottery on it. Ding Chiyu had to give up, and pointed out the direction for Shang Yang, found the iron gate leading to the bottom, opened it with the key, and lifted it up. After confirming that there is nothing strange below, Shang Yang is in front, Ding Chiyu is behind, and slowly walks down the downward steps gradually.

On both sides of the steps are cold and wet stone walls, without any artificial modification, it seems to be built according to the terrain.

The steps extending downward seem to be endless, Dingchiyu counted silently in his heart, when he reached the 180th, Shang Yang finally finished the last step, and stood with Dingchiyu in a cellar-like cave Inside.

The cave is very high, and although it is humid inside, it is not stuffy. With the faint light of the peeping candle, Shang Yang immediately found two moving black shadows in the darkness not far away. Candle, pulling Dingchiyu to hide in a corner that he had been optimistic about for a long time.

Soi Ying didn't notice the arrival of the two of them, which made them feel relieved.

Dingchiyu quickly adapted to the darkness here. From the faint light from someone in the distance, he also saw those two shadows. They seemed to be two people, one fat and one thin, moving slowly but solidly. He dug a hole on the ground with a hoe, while the other dug the hole, buried something round in his hand, and then carefully cultivated the soil and began to water it.

The planted things stretched out in a neat row on the ground. Dingchiyu squinted his eyes and saw that the cave was neatly lined up, and it seemed to be full of such things.

Is this the private plot of the mansion?As soon as Ding Chiyu had this idea in his mind, he was immediately denied by himself.

In Dingchiyu's sight, the two figures kept repeating the same steps, but the movements were too slow, and they didn't finish planting too many things in half a day.

Looking at the two backs, Ding Chiyu always felt a little familiar, but due to the brightness of the surroundings, he couldn't be completely sure.

The black shadow finally finished its movements and went to another corner deep in the cave. Shang Yang took the dingchi fish and walked carefully to the place where the black shadow was active just now.

As soon as it approached, Dingchiyu immediately saw the true face of the planted thing—a human head.

It turned out to be a human head!Rao Dingchiyu was bold, but seeing this scene with his own eyes still made him take a deep breath.

Dingchiyu is no stranger to the human heads that have just been planted under his feet. It is the new butler whose body was eaten by the owner the night before. Dingchiyu looked at the human heads that were neatly arranged in the cave and extended infinitely in all directions. After a while, I estimated the number in my heart, at least a few hundred, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Before Dingchiyu could guess the origin of these heads, Shang Yang had already put on heat-insulating gloves, at the same time beckoned Dingchiyu to help, and then dug out the heads of the new housekeeper from the ground.

Under the head dug out by the two of them, there seemed to be something attached to it. Dingchiyu continued to dig carefully with the hoe. When the digging was almost done, Shang Yang pulled out with both hands, including the headband, and removed the upper part. Shake off the dirt.

Dingchiyu looked carefully, and found that a part of the shoulders had grown out of the neck under the head, and the roots of the white hairs were still extending downwards, converging into the outline of the arms.
