Lao Qiu didn't know what was going on, and to put it bluntly, he didn't intend to find out.
This person who died once has a very indifferent view of everything in this world, including those so-called secrets.
After that, Lao Qiu really waited in this factory, although he didn't know who he was waiting for. But such a desolate abandoned factory building, almost no one would care about it, Lao Qiu thought that whenever this person came, he would definitely feel it.
It took more than half a year to wait like this, and Lao Qiu got used to it at first, but as the days went on, it was already midnight when he opened his eyes every day, so he would inevitably feel lonely. But this factory didn't even have a TV, so it was so boring that Lao Qiu could only occasionally write on paper to pass the time.
Although Lao Qiu had no culture, he still read some handwritten novels circulated among the people when he was young. Most of the stories in it were related to ghosts and ghosts. When he remembered some, he wrote them down to relieve himself. Before dawn, he threw the paper into the stove and burned it. The old Qiu in the daytime never noticed it.
But once, something happened between the 'two' old Qius who were originally peaceful.
The reason is that one time Lao Qiu woke up at night and found himself unwell. Not to mention the fatigue all over, both eyes became blurred. Based on his experience in the mountains all the year round, Lao Qiu felt that he had been poisoned by insects, probably because he was stung by a centipede or a wild scorpion. The toxicity is not very strong, so it won't kill people soon, but if it drags on for a long time, sooner or later, the body will not be able to bear it. When he was a child, he saw a hunter in the village tell him that the slower the toxicity came, the more he couldn't drag it. Because irreparable bodily damage will be caused. He managed to come back to life, so naturally he didn't want to die again.
Although this detoxification thing is not difficult to find, it would be good to find some familiar grass leaves in the mountains and eat it, but his conditions did not allow it. One is that the visibility in the Three Watch Mountains in the middle of the night is very poor, and it is very difficult to distinguish the blades of grass. The second is that he is afraid that he will not be able to calculate the time well. In case of any delay, he will not be able to come back before dawn, and he is afraid that he will lose the opportunity to stay in Yangjian. In the end, Lao Qiu had no choice but to take a risk. I wrote a note and put it on the table, which means that you have been poisoned by insects, and you need to seek help from the people in the nearby village as soon as possible, or go up the mountain to find herbs by yourself. Lao Qiu was afraid that the other party would not understand, so he specifically listed several kinds of detoxifying herbs in detail. Anyone who is not a fool can definitely understand it.
However, on the second night, Lao Qiu found that his physical condition did not improve, but became more and more serious. When I found the note on the table, it was obvious that someone had touched it, and it wasn't that the other party didn't see it. Lao Qiu felt a little strange this time. After thinking about it, he thought that the sudden appearance of the note might have frightened the other party, so he wrote another one earnestly.
As a result, on the third night, Lao Qiu's health still did not improve. It stands to reason that his reminder has been in place, even if people don't believe this note, the feeling on this body should attract some attention. Lao Qiu thought for a while and finally came to a conclusion that Lao Qiu might not be able to read during the day. He didn't know how old the body was, but it was definitely not much younger. It is true that there are not many people of this age in their area who are literate. Therefore, Lao Qiu had no choice but to remind him again in the form of stick figures. This time it finally worked. Lao Qiu's health improved day by day, and herbs leaves could be found in the hut.
Lao Qiu was worried about this for many days, for fear that what he did would break the balance. However, after ten days. business as usual. Only then did Lao Qiu feel relieved. After that, Lao Qiu contacted himself in the daytime several times by drawing pictures, such as reminding the roof of the factory to turn around and pay attention to safety. Lao Qiu is very cautious, and will not write if it is not necessary. Opposite is also very obedient to the command, this day has always been safe and sound.
Several years passed like this in a flash, and the person Lao Qiu was waiting for never came. But the young man came once. Tell Lao Qiu that many people who walked away wearing hats died, and their souls must pass through here when they return. Oral teaching and deeds taught Lao Qiu a way, asking him to open a ghost fair here to collect information about the dead souls. So from that day on, Lao Qiu has been handling this matter on a fixed number of days every month, but he has received a lot of messages, but there are still no people wearing hats.
And what was painted on the wall before was actually a symbol of Guiji, in the words of Yang Jian, it was a signboard. This signboard is facing the window, and Laoqiu burns a lot of paper figures, chariots and horses on that slope all the year round, attracting ghosts and wild ghosts to come here. .
Such a big movement, even if the traces left by Lao Qiu's very careful handling, it is inevitable that Lao Qiu will notice it during the day. During the day, Lao Qiu was afraid and finally wiped off the sign on the wall. But fortunately, the ghost collection in this factory building has become a habit. Lao Qiu didn't care anymore.
Lao Qiu talked intermittently for a long time, and Bai Kai and I didn't waste any time, and ate something by the way.
I asked Lao Qiu, but he didn't know the young man's name. But according to his description, it must be that Qin Yiheng didn't run away. It's just that what I want to know most now is whether it was Qin Yiheng himself who sent the email asking us to come, or someone else involved in this matter.
I asked for Bai Kai's opinion. He said that Qin Yiheng probably did it. I'm afraid Qin Yiheng didn't intend to let us come before, but now it's a bad idea for Qin Yiheng.
Seeing that I was puzzled, Bai Kai explained that Lao Qiu had been waiting here for so long, but he still hadn't found any news. There can only be two reasons for this. One, the waiting time is not enough. Two, the wrong person is waiting here. Now that time has passed so long, it is clear that the reason is the latter.
I nodded, the facts have proved that Bai Kai's words are correct. Thinking about it carefully, I can't help but feel a little uneasy. That filth may come every ghost fair, and the purpose of coming is to find me. Who is it
I looked at the sunshine outside the factory building, and my mind was in chaos. Simply walked out sober and sober. Bai Kai also followed and handed me my coat. We both basked in the sun while smoking. For me, I'm used to walking in mysteries, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to accept it.
Discussed with Bai Kai again, I looked at Lao Qiu's hat carefully, the style of the hat is strange, but if there is a problem, I can't find it at all. The material and production method are very common, and there is no interlayer. What do those people want so many hats for
Bai Kai said that we may have thought about this hat in a complicated way early in the morning. Since you can't see the problem, the problem can only lie in the style.
I heard the meaning in Bai Kai's words, as if I thought of something. I asked him, you mean this hat is the uniform of those people? Used to distinguish between friend and foe? Is it the same as holding a chopstick in the movie when slashing people
Bai Kai laughed and said, do you think those people are gangsters? Didn't you hear what Lao Qiu said? There will be some gaps on the top of the head when wearing that hat. I suspect that those people have transported something and can only hide in the gaps in the hat.
Bai Kai's words suddenly woke me up, and I hurriedly said, are they going to enter the Yin River? The body will get wet, so you can only put things on the top of the head
Bai Kai seemed to be taken aback, and said damn it, did Qin Yiheng tell you? Seeing me shaking my head, I said again: "Xiao Que, if your thinking is correct, then the Yin River is probably near here."
After this sentence, neither of us said anything for a long time. If there really was a so-called Yin River in this world, people would have discovered it long ago. What's more, although there are deep mountains and old forests in this place, it is not inaccessible. It should not be able to hide such a big secret, right
Thinking about it, Kung Fu Lao Qiu came out of the workshop and poured a cup of hot water for the two of us. Ask if we are here for lunch today. It was only then that I suddenly realized that it was already daytime, how could Lao Qiu still talk? Shouldn't he be mute during the day
In front of Lao Qiu, I was embarrassed to ask Bai Kai. After sending Lao Qiu back to the house, I asked him quietly.
Bai Kai said with a proud face, the old Qiu during the day has bid farewell forever, didn't you see that Lao Qiu is so courteous to us now
