Every Old House Has a Corpse

Lu Qian, an ancient building restorer, took a job that no one dared to take on. On the embroidery floor of the Chen family in Qingxi Town, a pair of red embroidered shoes has been walking for more than 20 years. The old lady said that every year it moved forward an inch, getting closer and closer to the stairs. No craftsman in the town dared to touch this order. Lu Qian went there, not because he was brave - but because his master Zhou Shouzheng left a message before his death: "If one day you build an old house in Qingxi Town, be careful." He pried open the floor of the embroidered building and found a letter. The letter in 1973 only wrote one thing: There was something underground in the He family's old house that should not be discovered. That autumn, a fire broke out in the He family's old house. The woman who wrote the letter has disappeared. The college students who came to town for surveying and mapping disappeared. The master stopped in front of the ruins and never mentioned Qingxi Town again. There is a skeleton in the wall. The backs of the statues in the ancestral hall are covered with runes. The wellhead of the enclosed house emits a faint green light in the middle of the night. Six old houses, six corpses, a Song Dynasty manuscript of "Building French Style", and an ancient secret room buried underground. Some wanted him to stop, some wanted him to die inside. But Lu Qian can only say one thing - if you take the job, you have to finish it.
