He was so shocked, my mother was almost scared to pee pants.
Not to mention looking back, I didn't even look forward, and could only stare at the ground. I was afraid that I might fall and rush outside.
Fortunately, both of us had removed the furniture before, and there were no obstacles when running.
As I approached the door, I suddenly remembered it, and I should remind Qin Yiheng that I saw the person on the skylight. Just when I wanted to open my mouth, I heard a clatter behind me, and then it sounded like something crashed into the closet.
I glanced back subconsciously, the skylight didn't know what was broken, and the glass broke.
In a hurry, I couldn't take a closer look, nor did I see if the person was still there.
We ran all the way until we left the yard and ran a few hundred meters on the road before we stopped. The two gasped a little, and I asked Qin Yiheng what happened.
He told me that it was not time to talk about this. We had to find a place to settle down and discuss with the long-term. Then we took my family and knocked on the door to see if we could stay overnight.
It took several families to find a place. Originally, the family didn't plan to open the door for us. After all, it was deeper in the middle of the night. Both of us were accented by foreigners. No one was at ease. Finally, I gave the price of a five-star hotel to barely get into a broken house.
I don't know what other people's houses look like. Anyway, judging from the house we stayed in, the living standard of this town is actually not high. Such a comparison makes the house look wrong.
When they entered the house, neither of them was in a mood to sleep. I was waiting for Qin Yiheng to open his mouth. He was thinking about something like a person.
Several cigarettes were smoked before he started to tell me: "The man who was on the skylight now doesn't look to harm us. On the contrary, this man's eight achievements are here to remind us. I'm afraid this man knew this house early in the morning There is something wrong in it, so I wrote the Soul Talisman on the skylight. "
"Strictly speaking, that character is actually a warning function that is far greater than the actual effect. The reason for choosing it is to warn us, what uncontrollable stuff in this house."
Qin Yiheng lit another cigarette and continued: "We paid attention to the things in the closet before and ignored what was under the closet. The time you just went out, I remembered, I reached out and knocked, and I found that the closet was empty. of."
Listening to him saying this, I know very well. There is a door on the closet door. It seems that our two guesses were correct. Is there an authentic entrance under the closet? Qin Yiheng asked, but he shook his head and told me that he tried to distinguish it by voice. The empty part behind the closet was not big. It was far-fetched if it was an entrance. However, there must be some filth in it, because when he touched it with his hand, he could obviously feel that yin made people uncomfortable, so he took me out so anxiously.
Things got like this. I was thinking about what was behind the closet, and I had to wait until the day to explore again, and I discussed with Qin Yiheng. He disagreed, saying that since someone had already reminded him, he should not go there any more easily. When we ran out, one of the skylights had been broken. I do n’t know if that would have any effect. Now what we have to do is take a good night ’s rest. After returning, we will ask the old man, and he will give an explanation. .
After he finished speaking, he asked me, "Do you know why the old man wanted us to come to this house for no reason? I had no idea before. Now I thought about it, and I have a speculation. However, this speculation is very outrageous. , That is the old man who wanted us to lead the man who wrote the Soul Talisman. "
Qin Yiheng's speculation made me completely insomnia. After all, I still couldn't get used to the feeling of being surrounded by doubts.
At this time it was almost dawn.
I lay for a long time before squinting for a while, and when I opened my eyes again, I found that I hadn't slept long.
Qin Yiheng slept soundly. When he woke up, we went to the noodle shop and ate something. We contacted the person who took us to the room and said that we had finished reading it. We hope he will send us back again.
The man was still very salty and did not ask anything. After a while, he really drove over and did not know where he slept at night.
There is no need to go into details on the way back, but there is a little less worry than when I came, but a little more worry.
I was mainly worried about whether the old man could give us a solid answer. When I looked at it, I was very sly and worried. Moreover, I summed it up, too many questions to ask the old man.
Asked if Qin Yiheng had any plans, he stated that he would take one step at a time, and I would n’t even think about it, and let him open his mouth.
After much tossing, I finally got home, and I didn't take much rest. After taking a shower at home, I called the old man according to the original contact information. Originally, I was worried that the call was like a six-finger, and I couldn't get through anymore. As a result, the other party received the call quite happily, but it was not the old man himself. I didn't say much on the phone, only that the house was finished, and now I want to discuss it with the old man. I was asked to wait there for a few minutes, and then I made an appointment to meet at that teahouse.
Qin Yiheng and I drove straight ahead.
We are fast enough, but the old man arrived earlier than us, and I suspected that he lived in this tea house.
It was the same room, the old man was still wearing the same hat, and even the seat of the three of us remained unchanged. After sitting down, the old man still didn't take the initiative to speak. He slowly drank several bowls of tea before nodding, meaning that he could chat.
Seeing the old man like this, I was very upset. It was clear that he hadn't even wanted to discuss business with us before. However, I did not show it, waiting for Qin Yiheng to speak with a cigarette.
Qin Yiheng was also unambiguous. He opened his mouth and asked the old man directly what was under the closet. He asked this question very cleverly, which showed that both of us had already found the closet, but did not say that we opened the closet.
As a result, the old man was still amazed, and he answered a word: "Well."
Then there was silence in the room. Qin Yiheng didn't speak, and the old man didn't say much.
After waiting for a while, Qin Yiheng asked again: "Who is that person?"
The old man looked at me instead, shook his head, and then was silent again.
The two of them questioned and answered, and they were almost up to the secret code. I didn't dare to intervene. I had to worry in my heart.
When the old man looked at me, I was embarrassed. After all, we both tossed his house a bit messy, a little bit guilty.
This kind of scene makes people feel uncomfortable. In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I followed the old man's words and asked, "What is in the well?"
The old man was amused by my question and still didn't speak, but just took the stack of papers from the chair next to me and handed it to me. I looked at it even more puzzled.
I have seen too much of this thing in recent years. This is a copy of the purchase contract, but the content of the contract has nothing to do with the old man ’s house. The location is in another city. I have been to this city before, and there was a house in this city before.
The contract was obviously processed afterwards, and many key parts were blocked during copying. I didn't see anything special after a few glances. When I finally turned to the signer, I was stunned. The signatory of the buyer is also covered, but the name of the seller is retained.
I looked at the old man, and he was looking at me.
I don't know what my expression looks like. I don't think it will be better, because the name on the contract is too familiar to me. It is Yuan Zhen. I handed the contract to Qin Yiheng and asked the old man what it meant. To be honest, I have tried my best to restrain my emotions, but the voice is still a little trembling.
The old man took a sip of tea and said slowly, "You have worked hard before and will not let you suffer in vain. If you are interested, the house on the contract is yours."
Qin Yiheng didn't say anything, and I wasn't good at refusing immediately, but I was already prepared in my heart. I didn't care about this house anyway.
The old man's intention was obvious, and most of us asked us to go to mine.
However, Qin Yiheng turned over the contract and actually gave me a wink. Seeing what he meant seemed tempting. I want to persuade him that it's not good to open his mouth in front of the old man. Fortunately, the old man said he was going to the toilet and opened the door, so I had the opportunity to discuss it with him. Qin Yiheng said: "We still need to take a look at this house. Like the old man's house, although we can't figure out the purpose of the old man, we are not without gain."
Although what he said is reasonable, I still object. In the impression, this may be the first time I refused so firmly. After so much experience, I was really tired. I said that the money was almost made. It is not necessarily true to say that the coffin board is true. Even if it is true, I would rather enjoy life in the past few years.
I thought so, but I didn't tell Qin Yiheng about it. Counting it, I really owe him a lot, and now I can't do it with my pick, and it hurts him a little bit.
He didn't say much when he saw me refuse, but just nodded.
After the old man came back, he wrote down the exact address of the mansion, told the old man that we would go back to discuss it, and then say goodbye to the old man.
The old man didn't mean to send us, to say send, barely be seen.
After leaving the tea house, I just want to go back and get a good night's sleep. To be honest, I don't know what's wrong with me. It's probably that people have been nervous for a long time and they are already overwhelmed. I suddenly felt that many things were irrelevant.
This kind of feeling is a bit like you have been participating in a marathon. At a certain moment, you suddenly don't want to go to the finish line. No matter how bad the result is, no matter how many people surpass you, you don't care.
On the way back by car, I asked Qin Yiheng why he only asked a few questions. Apart from a well, we didn't get any information.
He said that asking is also a white question. If we want the old man to speak, we must have the chips he wants to exchange. And when we talked, we showed all the cards, but the old man was not interested at all.
I asked Qin Yiheng again, what happened to the well. He probably said a little while driving me back, saying that this well has been an important part of people's life since ancient times. After all, not all people are close to the river, and if they want to drink, they must dig wells. Many large households have their own wells. In the case of ordinary people, dozens of households share a mouthful.
Because of the importance of wells, there have been many sayings about wells since ancient times. First of all, this well was hit downward. Many people think that the kind of bull, ghost and snake in the mansion can crawl out of the well to harm the world. That is why when the plague broke out in ancient times, many people mistakenly thought it was the reason of the well water This will seal the well.
Moreover, in some local folk customs, when there is no need to fetch water, the well rope should be placed outside the well instead of hanging in the well all the time. This is also afraid of any contamination climbing up the well rope.
I believe many people will hear in the stories or rumors that there will always be some people who choose to commit suicide or die innocently. In the so-called superstition, this is called filling a gap, which is actually similar to a water ghost looking for a substitute, except that the filling is not a dirty substitute in the well water, but a gap between yin and yang. Simply explained, it is a bit like Iguchi has a certain suction power for the soul, so many people with extremely low luck or suspicious thoughts will always run there ghostly.
Because of this, people will have a sense of awe at the well, so in many areas, there will be some objects hanging in the well. These objects are not evil spirits, generally they are a villain who bows down or scorns, but it is not ruled out that they can be replaced by other things. This is called "gong" in the jargon of alchemy, which means literally respectful. Later, with the improvement of living standards, many places no longer eat well water. In addition, this "King" needs to be put in by people who are knowledgeable, so, except for some old people, not many people know.
Qin Yiheng said he did not know whether this "Gong" had any effect, but "Gong" had another use in alchemy. According to legend, using the "King" in the withered well, take it out and hang it on the saddle, and it will not be screamed or tricked by the devil when traveling at night. Because of this, he had the honour of seeing one in person earlier. The Christine he saw was not good-looking, and in his words, it looked like a deformed Ronaldo.
Moreover, many wells that are about to dry up are the easiest to swallow. Many wells seem to have clear water quality and sufficient water, but they will dry up without warning. The only thing that can be noticed is that they will definitely hurt a few lives before they are exhausted. It is said that the older generation knows this.
Qin Yiheng said so much. Frankly speaking, I didn't actually listen to much. I asked, it has become a habit.
I thought about it. If he said that the old man hid a well at home, would it be a corpse? So there will be yin qi dissipation inside? Or really want to draw something out of the prefecture? If that's the case, it's big.
