I didn't expect that there was a box and something on it, which made me stunned.
There was a bone on the box, a human bone frame, lying on the box. It was so strange and weird. I slowly came down, and the teacher's father asked.
"Nothing, right?"
I didn't say anything, my legs felt weak, I sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
"Actually, I also find this matter strange. Just a board like this, with black lines on it, can you see ghosts? That's nonsense."
I didn't say anything else. Anyway, the matter was basically figured out. Normally, seeing a ghost is no big deal, but the ghost living in his house saw her and started to haunt this teacher.
I was a little scared for a moment.
I said after I finished smoking.
"There's something on the shed."
The old man was stunned for a long time and said.
"Impossible. We have lived here for decades. How could we not know about it?"
"Because you've never seen that shed."
"What is that? Take it down and let me see it."
"You can't move, at least not now. I'll take the ladder away, and you can't move either. Wait until I come back."
Liu Yang and I went to He Dana and told him about this matter. He Dana said.
"This is really annoying. She has been keeping a ghost for decades, and she still doesn't know about it. It seems that this house is not for anyone to live in."
"what to do?"
"Take me there. If you can't handle it well, I won't help you if it's not for your father Xiao Zuo's sake. But you are my grandson, so you will have to burn me in the future."
I don't like to hear people talking about burning themselves.
We took He Dana to the teacher's home. The teacher's father looked at He Dana and talked for a long time.
"He must be a hundred years old, right?"
"One hundred and twenty."
The teacher's father was surprised. I understood what he meant. What was he doing here at such an old age
Entering the house, I pointed to the shed and said.
“Right there.”
He Dana took out a line from his arms. It was black and shiny. I knew it was a fish line, a very strong one.
"Help me get on the ceiling. Can this ceiling hold a person?"
"Yes, it's no problem to put 200-300 kilograms of things in it."
He Dana climbed into the ceiling.
"Wait for me down below. Don't come up to see unless I call you."
We were waiting downstairs. I sat on the sofa and smoked, while Liu Yang glanced at the ceiling from time to time.
Actually, I don’t know what will happen, what He Dana is doing up there, and what is in the box. I can’t figure it out. When this person died, he was in the shape of lying on the box. That means there must be something in the box. This family is really something. They didn’t know there was something on the shed for decades.
It had been more than an hour, and I was worried that something had happened to He Dana, so I shouted.
"How is it, sir?"
The teacher's father was stunned and said in a low voice.
"Grandpa?"
"What's wrong? I haven't heard of it."
I didn't want to do it anymore. The teacher's father wanted to laugh, so I glared at him. He Dana slowly put something down. It was bones, connected with black lines. He put it down bit by bit. It was exactly the skeleton of a person. Every bone was connected. He Dana's technique was really amazing.
I took it and put it on the ground. The teacher's father was stunned and asked while trembling for a long time.
"What?"
"Can't you see the bones of a dead person?"
The box was brought down, I took it, and then He Da took it down.
"Make some tea, quick."
He Dana was all sweaty, just staying there was really exhausting. He was over 120 years old, but I actually felt sorry for him. I wiped his sweat and poured him tea.
The teacher's father and mother were both stunned. They just stood aside and shivered.
"How can this thing exist? How can this thing exist..."
It was true. Imagine living in a house where you have lived for decades and there is a corpse on top of it. You say you can't be scared, but I'm afraid that for the next few decades, when you think about it, you will feel cold all over, so cold that you can't help it.
He Dana used a black light to connect the bones together, but no one knew what that meant.
"I'll take the bones away, and then everything will be fine. I want to open the box to see what's inside."
It was an iron box, which was not rusted at all and was well preserved. It was just locked with a combination lock, built-in, very heavy, and looked like a safe.
What it is, I don’t know.
"Take this box and the body away, and don't say you took them from me. We won't live here anymore. What should I do with my daughter now?"
"Just go pick up your daughter from the hospital in two hours."
We went back to He Dana, and he put the bones in a room and the box in the bedroom.
"Come with me to the hospital."
We went to the hospital, and Liu Yang's colleague was still in the same condition. He Dana took out a black string, gestured in the air, and tied a few buckles. The buckles were actually hanging in the air. I wondered where they were tied. I couldn't even see the ghost, but it seemed that He Dana could see it.
"Come with me and I'll give you back home."
That day, after He Dana came in, he didn't let us in.
"You two go home. I'll find you if I have anything else."
That day, we went home and Liu Yang called that colleague. It had been three hours, and he actually answered the phone and said it was so exciting. Damn it, my life was almost over, and it was still exciting.
"Tell her not to do this again."
Liu Yang told me, but she was so excited that she didn't listen at all. I shook my head. I didn't know what a girl from such a rich family would do all day long, looking for excitement everywhere.
I have been hesitating about when to go find the rich family's boss and reveal the seduction technique, but I didn't expect that Fu Jiao would come to me.
"Master Ke, I think you should take action now. I know you have learned how to break the hook technique, otherwise the rich family will really be gone."
"Everything in the rich family belongs to me. This is repayment."
"Okay, I just want to rescue my second brother."
"That's good."
"When does it begin?"
"Wait for me outside the door at midnight today and return me to the room where your brother lives."
"knew."
The eldest son of a rich family has a bad habit. He never lives in the same house, and he changes places irregularly, changing places every day. I don’t know what this problem is. I heard that when rich families have money, they are afraid of people coming to rob their money or kill people, so they live like this. Now it has become a habit and he still lives like this.
I went out in the middle of the night, and Fu Jiao was really waiting for me there. She took me to the room of the rich family's eldest brother. I blew bone incense, a kind of bone-made thing, which would make people lose consciousness immediately. But after waking up, they were just like normal people and had no idea that they were bewitched by the bone incense.
The wind blew in through the window. A few minutes later, I entered the room and Yun Bai was there. I felt even more unhappy.
That day, I used the Min technique, a technique of the Min tribe, to place it on their lower legs. The technique mentioned here is not what we call the mind technique, using the heart, but a physical one, a kind of greeting made by the Min tribe.
I left that day, and I thought, this will all be over. No matter what, my father's wish has been fulfilled. He Dana didn't want me to do this, but I had to do it.
I have also seen the renderings of the crematorium and asked He Dana to see them. We designed the Yin-ology part. For a place like a crematorium, the architecture, placement, and orientation are all very important.
The most troublesome thing in the future is migration. There will be old corpses, hundreds of them, what should we do? Other things are easy to deal with.
I have been thinking about this, and it seems that there is only one way, which is to transport the old corpse to the crematorium in Chi County. However, whether there is room to put it there is also a problem.
Whether Chixian is willing to accept it is also a question.
The next day, I was sitting in the office and the rich boss came.
"Let me talk to you."
"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. I wanted to talk to you about it, too."
"You won, Yun Bai is awake, the house is yours, and everything there is yours, but I have one condition, I want to take Yun Bai away."
"I want to see Yun Bai."
When he called, Yun Bai came in, and she came too.
"Xiaozhe."
My mother cried and the rich eldest son went out.
"Xiaozhe, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry to your dad. I've fallen in love with him. I want to go with him, no matter where he takes me."
"That's fine. As long as you are sober and really like me, that's enough. I won't blame you, and neither will your father."
"Thanks."
When Yunbai passed away that day, I couldn't tell whether I felt heavy or relieved. In fact, logically speaking, I would never agree to this, but my mother fell in love with him, and she should have happiness in her later years.
I called the rich boss.
"You have to be nice to my mother, or I'll kill you. Also, you have to pick up your second brother and send him to Fu Jiao."
"Okay, thank you. I'm really sorry."
I felt a strange and indescribable pain in my heart.
I lived in the Fu family's house with Liu Yang. Everything here seemed too big and there were too many houses, but I liked this place. The architecture was Manchu-style and all the furniture was made of nanmu. It was obvious how rich the Fu family was in the past, but they fell into decline now.
But I didn't expect that something would happen.
The old house of the rich family is more than a hundred years old. It has six courtyards from front to back and more than thirty rooms. Liu Yang and I have visited every room, and the furnishings have not been moved. But there is one strange thing. Behind the six courtyards, there is a courtyard with a blank screen wall. After going around the screen wall, there is an empty space paved with stone slabs behind. I don't know what it is used for. In theory, this is the back, or the back cover, a feng shui building that supports the six courtyards and will not bring disaster or lose wealth. However, it always makes me feel a little strange.
I found it a bit strange that the wealthy family gave up this century-old house so easily and didn't take anything with them.
Moreover, Fu Jiao, the second son of the rich family, did not come to see me.
I went to He Dana and told him that I had moved into the old house of a wealthy family. The house now belonged to me, said He Dana.
“Do I clean the house?”
"What?"
"Don't you understand this?"
I shook my head.
"The old house has been lived in for hundreds of years. The reason for its decline is that there is no clean room. The eldest son of the rich family should also understand this. Even if he doesn't understand, Yun Bai also understands. It seems that this house is not easy to clean. Such a big house is given to you for free. The eldest son of the rich family is willing, but what about the second son? What about Fu Jiao? Fu Jiao is not an ordinary person in Chi County."
I thought about it and found this a bit strange.
"What should we do then?"
"You just want to live in that old house because it's unnecessary. Now it belongs to you. Everything there belongs to you, even the dirty things and the things you can't see. This place will also be yours in the future. You can work close to the city."
“I like it there.”
"Well, take me to the old house tomorrow and I'll help you take a look."
In fact, I really like the old house of the rich family. At that time, I thought, it would be enough if I could live in such a house one day, so I moved in. Although it is far from work, it is only more than an hour's drive, so it is not a problem.
The next day was Saturday. Liu Yang and I drove He Dana to the old house. After entering the old house, He Dana went straight to the back, behind the screen wall.
"Do you know what this place is?"
"Isn't it from Torokujin?"
"Of course, there is another one besides this one. Count how many boards there are."
The stone slabs were all rectangular, half a meter long. I counted them and there were six of them. The rest of the place was empty space with grass growing on it.
"Lift up a board and see what it is."
I thought it was a bit weird and didn't want to open it.
"hurry up."
He Dana looked unhappy and displeased.
I opened it and screamed.
There were actually bones inside, human bones.
“This is a rich family…”
"The rich family has had a family tradition and teachings for hundreds of years. You don't know this, and few people know it. I'm related to the master of the rich family, and he told me that there is a rule in the rich family, that is, if you commit theft, that is, stealing girls or boys, or stealing love, you will be hit against the screen wall and die, and then buried here. There are seven boards, and there are seven such people. The screen wall blocks them, and they can never walk out and can never be reincarnated."
I couldn't help but get goose bumps all over my body. There were indeed dark red bloodstains on the screen wall. Although it was old, it was still visible. (To be continued)
