Haunted Houses’ Chronicles

Chapter 15: six fingers

Views:

A few days after recovering from the illness, Yuan Zhen introduced another house to us. This time is quite special, the owner of the house personally came to the door and hoped that we would buy it. I think he may be really desperate. If this house is not sold to people like us, he will have no way to sell it. The man who came to see us was not too old, he claimed to be the sixth child, he was about 40 years old, he was dressed like a businessman, but he was very tall and dark-skinned, he looked like a gangster brother at first glance, when he spoke He likes to make gestures with his hands, and he is really quack-like. He quoted a price to us before we saw the house, stretched out his palm in front of me, and drew a number. Only then did I notice that he was a six-finger.

The price reported to us by Six Fingers is really low, how low it is, I can only describe it as jumping off a building and crying about the price of a shocking house. When I heard the price was so low, I was immediately interested. I asked Qin Yiheng, although he also felt that it was profitable, but the house is so cheap, the things inside must not be easy to deal with. However, concerns are all concerns, at least I still have to take a look. So, we followed Liuzhi to board the flight to the city where the house is located. Liuzhi bought the round-trip air tickets, and he showed great hospitality to us along the way, but he didn't mention anything about the things in the house. I feel a little inexplicable, and I feel a little uneasy. Qin Yiheng looked relaxed. Apart from explaining some alchemy and other knowledge to Liuzhi along the way, he just read newspapers. Seeing that the two of them were chatting quite closely, I was also very happy, so I put on my headphones and squinted.

After we got off the plane, Liuzhi picked up the car from the airport parking lot and took us directly to the house. Along the way, I was thinking, the price of this house is already so low, so I didn't expect how luxurious this house is. However, it wasn't until I actually stood in front of it that I marveled that it was too unexpected. This house is surprisingly large. From the outside, it is estimated that the area of this floor alone will be nearly 600 square meters. I have only seen a mansion of this scale in Hollywood movies before. The entire courtyard is located close to the top of the mountain, from a distance, you can have a panoramic view of the whole city. The exterior wall of the villa is a bit mottled, probably because it has been left unattended for a long time, but it still cannot conceal the sense of dignity of the house itself. It is estimated that it was designed by a famous designer when it was built. I can't name it, anyway, it's not the European or French style that has fallen into the cliché. Frankly speaking, I have seen a lot of villas, big and small, and there is really no villa that catches my attention so much.

Now, I feel a little happy in my heart. Buying this kind of house at this price is no different from picking it up for nothing. Now it depends on Qin Yiheng's attitude, as long as he says it's easy to deal with, I'm going to sign the house immediately, so as not to have long nights and dreams. It's just that when I looked at Qin Yiheng, his face was calm, he didn't go directly into the house, but led Liuzhi and me around the house first, but didn't express his opinion.

Liuzhi followed by and kept talking about how good this house is, so much that spit was flying all over the sky.

I was a little annoyed by hearing it, and I thought that it is so good, can you sell it to us? So I simply asked bluntly what was wrong with the things in this house.

Hearing my question, Liuzhi pretended to wake up from a dream, slapped his thigh, and told us about the house.

According to what he said, this house used to belong to a rich family, and he didn't know any information about that rich family. Price to sell to him. He was also speculating in real estate at the time. He had many properties in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing, and he was a well-known real estate speculator in the local area. Facing the big fat meat that was easily delivered to his door, he was a little apprehensive at first, but after inquiring for a long time, there was nothing wrong with the house, so he happily signed the transfer procedures with that young man. After signing the contract, the young man proposed to live in the house for another week, because he was preparing for the formalities to go abroad. Liuzhi felt that he had taken such a big advantage, so he readily agreed. However, within this week, the young man died in this mansion, and his family members disappeared for no apparent reason.

Liuzhi said that he was the first to discover the corpse, and the scene was extremely cruel. The young man was dismembered into many pieces, scattered all over the hall. After the police arrived, they struggled for a long time but couldn't put together the whole body, and the murderer had no clue, so the case remained unsolved. He thought he had eaten the pie that fell from the sky, but instead he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot. Fortunately, the news about this house did not spread all over the city. He thought about it, and it should be possible to make a move after a while. But for some reason, he waited for several months and felt that the situation was almost calm, so he posted the house sales information, but no one came to see the house, not even a single person who called to ask. In the end, he was really distressed, because although the price he bought at that time was very cheap, the house didn't seem to appreciate in value now. He gritted his teeth, and simply lived in by himself, so that he could be more psychologically balanced.

When he first moved in, nothing strange happened, until one night when it rained heavily, he was lying on the bed, and suddenly he heard a deafening roar. The roar was so loud that at least the whole city could hear it according to the number of decibels. He thought it was an explosion or thunder, so he didn't pay attention to it, and fell asleep when the sound stopped. But the next day, when he asked others about it, no one heard such a big commotion. Liuzhi thought that the house was far away from the urban area after all, and there were no buildings around. Maybe the thunder exploded not far from him at that time, so he took it for granted that he heard it very clearly. Unexpectedly, from that day on, he could hear such a loud roar every night, no matter it was rain or shine. Now he started to be scared, and he found someone to look at it during the day, but he didn't see anything. After staying there for a few more days, I really didn't dare to live any longer, so I moved out. Today, the real estate market is not booming, and there are policy restrictions. He thought about selling the house, so he contacted us through Yuan Zhen.

After listening to Liuzhi's narration, I couldn't help looking at Qin Yiheng. He still didn't make a statement, just kept scanning the outer wall of the house with his eyes, stared at it for a while, and then turned his head and told us to go in and have a look. Liuzhi led the two of us on the saddle. When I entered the yard, I saw a lot of weeds growing on the ground, and I knew that the house had not been taken care of for a long time, but from the layout point of view, the design was quite elegant. There is also a Greek-style statue outdoors, and I can't see who it is. We followed Liuzhi into the house, and when we opened the door, we were greeted with dust. There is a bronze statue on the right hand side of the entrance, which is half the height of a person. I was startled by a cold look, but when I took a closer look, it turned out to be Zhong Kui. Although I don't know much about art, at least I know Zhong Kui, and many people will put town houses in their homes. Just looking around, there is nothing in the hall, except for such a statue of Zhong Kui placed by the door, which is not only abrupt, but also very strange. Seeing that Qin Yiheng's expression was unresponsive, I felt relieved and followed Six Fingers around the room.

At this time, according to our previous work assignment, Qin Yiheng should check whether there is any filth in the house, but this time he didn't do that, and followed me, listening to Liuzhi explain the house's layout to me layout.

After finishing the first floor, go up the stairs to the second floor. The second floor is not as spacious as the first floor, and there are many rooms. I didn't go in every one of them, but just followed Liuzhi to glance at the first bedroom on the stairs. Although there is no furniture in the room, the carpet and wallpaper are still there, and the colors are well matched, but there is too much dust, which makes it look a bit depressing.

After simply transferring the house, I asked Liuzhi to help book a hotel, saying that we would give him an answer after we went back to discuss it. Six Fingers sent us to the city and got out of the car. I couldn't help but ask Qin Yiheng why he didn't go to see if there was anything there just now.

He said, in fact, there is nothing to see. Originally, seeing the price so low, he thought that there must be something extremely powerful inside, but when he just entered the door, he saw a statue of Zhong Kui. Presumably the house should be clean; It's clean, it's in broad daylight, and there is Zhong Kui's town house, so you can't find anything just by looking at it.

After I heard what he said, I naturally understood a little bit in my heart, and the implication is that I still have to go at night. Although I have experienced this kind of thing many times before, my heart still beats suddenly when I think of going to such a house at night. It may be that this house is too big and too spacious. I always feel that this house makes me very uneasy, but I can't tell why I am uneasy. I asked Qin Yiheng if he could explain what Liuzhi said about something screaming.

Qin Yiheng shook his head and said that he had never heard of it before. Besides, this was just Liu Zhi's one-sided words. Maybe he was playing tricks, or he was hiding something when he told the story, because he kept the price so low for such a big house and was eager to sell it. , there must be his reasons.

I agree with Qin Yiheng's opinion. However, now it seems that if we want to understand the mystery of this house, we can only go to see it at night, so we did not go directly to the hotel that Liuzhi booked for us, but first went to the surrounding counties of the city to find out. Qin Yiheng said that he would go here first to prepare things for the evening.

Although this temple is not very big, the incense is extremely strong, and it is located at the junction of the urban area and a surrounding county. When you enter the gate of the temple, you can see a large spray-painted sign, which is an inscription given to the temple by an important leader. Qin Yiheng led me to the yard between the two big incense burners, and told me to just stand there, don't talk, and close my eyes. Although I didn't understand what he meant, I thought he must have his reasons, so I took it as a rare opportunity to cultivate my mind.

There was an endless stream of people coming to offer incense, and I was choked by the smoke standing between the two incense burners. After standing there for almost an hour, Qin Yiheng patted me and told me to go. My whole body was covered with the fragrance of Buddha. He sniffed my clothes and said that it was almost ready, so he took me to continue preparing other things. Because after all, I have some experience, and I can understand most of what Qin Yiheng prepared.

Basically all the things he used to use before, except for one more thing, he prepared a bell. Things were ready, we ate a simple meal, and then sat in the restaurant until dark. I don't know if it's because of my nervousness, but I feel that time passes extremely slowly. Finally, at 9:00 pm, we started to leave.

We stopped a few taxis on the road and told us where we were going, but many drivers were unwilling to take us. Finally, we finally persuaded one driver by adding more money. On the way there, I asked the driver why he didn't want to go to that house. The driver's answer was unexpected. He said that the surrounding area of the house was a restricted area, guarded by guards, and it was impossible to drive in. Later, it was said that something happened inside, and the guards were withdrawn. In addition, the place was relatively remote, and many drivers ran away. In the past, it was not cost-effective to return with an empty car, so no one wanted to go.

I was quite curious when I heard what the driver said. Was the house guarded by guards before? Then the person living inside must be a big shot, but the disappearance of such a big shot for no reason should be a shock. Why didn't even the well-informed taxi driver know about it? When I think about it this way, I feel a little uncertain and can't help but look at Qin Yiheng. He smiled at me, not serious, and my heart was relieved.

The night view of this city has nothing to recommend it, it is so colorful that it is a bit vulgar. I wanted to take this opportunity to take a nap in the car, but as soon as I closed my eyes, my nose was filled with the scent of Buddha, which made me a little uncomfortable, so I had to stay like this until the end.

When I walked to this house again, it was not as eerie as I imagined. Although the house under the moonlight was eerie, it looked quite peaceful.

Qin Yiheng also looked at it for a while, and told me that this house must have been seen by a feng shui master. The location of this kind of single house has been carefully selected. It will also make a fortune. But the people inside died tragically. In such a blessed land, they should be able to reincarnate with peace of mind. Unless he was too unwilling when he was killed, he would rather stay in such a geomantic treasure to be tortured than enter reincarnation.

After he finished speaking, I was thinking, a person who can afford such a luxurious house must have enjoyed basically everything that can be enjoyed in the world, so why is he not reconciled? Is it because he died too young? This is a reason, anyway, the richer people are, the more afraid of death it is for sure. But his family moved away quietly, which is unreasonable. His own child died, not only did not come to collect the corpse for worship, but just slipped away. Could it be that there was something hidden at the time that the family had to leave so quietly? ? Are they hiding from something

During the short time I stood at the door, I thought a lot, and countless question marks popped up in my head. Qin Yiheng patted me, and I came back to my senses, and followed him into the house. That Liuzhi should also know that no one is willing to come in this house, so he didn't even lock the door. Qin Yiheng and I easily opened the door and went in. The moonlight was very good that night, and the visibility was not bad. Walking into the hall, Qin Yiheng started to take out the tortoise shell and turn around, and I waited for him smoking in place. When he came back, I didn't dare to reach out to touch him because of the lesson I learned last time, but asked him how the situation was.

Qin Yiheng curled his lips and said, nothing has been calculated. Judging from the current situation, the house is so clean that there is not even a passing kid. If it doesn't work, we can only try one method after another. Anyway, we have prepared in advance and brought enough things.

I don't mind him saying that, anyway, he is the one who is tired. I thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that Zhong Kui was guarding the house here, so that thing didn't come out? I told Qin Yiheng what I thought. He thought for a while and said, the place where Zhong Kui was placed was not an altar, but was probably moved here to guard the gate, as if he wanted to lock something inside and not let it out.
