The car didn't arrive until evening, and the three of them were already hungry. Fortunately, the house is on the food street, so we simply asked the boss to meet at the restaurant next to the house, planning to chat while eating.
The hotel owner arrived earlier than us, so he probably lives very close. Already ordered a table of local specialties.
We were also so hungry that we didn't care about the politeness, so we ate as soon as we sat down.
The boss introduced himself as a chef and has always been a researcher on food, so he ordered the dishes first on his own initiative. One is to show us the friendship of the landlord. The second is that I don't want to waste time, and try to see the house after dinner.
I really appreciate the efficiency of this boss. After looking at it for a while, it does look like a fireman. He has a round head, a round brain and a big belly. Although his face is full of flesh, he looks very kind and looks like Maitreya Buddha at a glance.
The boss is very talkative, and it is probably a habit developed in doing business this way for years. While we were eating, he recounted the things about the house. His tone was full of regret, it seemed that he really loved this dumpling restaurant.
Knowing that there was still something to do in the evening, none of the three of us drank. After the meal was full, he smoked a cigarette and took a rest, then walked to the house.
This food street is very long. There are various hotels and restaurants on the left and right sides, and the neon signs are brighter and brighter.
There were so many diners coming and going that we couldn't walk side by side.
After walking for about five or six minutes, I saw the dumpling restaurant at a glance.
Only this building in the whole street is pitch black, and it's hard not to notice it.
It's not what I expected. Dumplings are a traditional Chinese delicacy. I thought the decoration must be an antique Chinese style. Unexpectedly, after seeing it, I realized that the decoration design of this dumpling restaurant is very modern. It's a bit like a western restaurant. The whole building doesn't look very big from the outside. It seems that the restaurants on the whole street are planned in a unified way, and the sizes are basically the same.
The boss skillfully took out the key and opened the door, made a gesture of please, and the three of us walked in one by one.
I don't know how long this dumpling restaurant has been deserted. When people just entered, they were greeted with a heavy smell of dust. Made me have a dry cough.
The boss turned on the lights in the hall and gave us a general introduction to the situation of the hotel.
The entire first floor is full of scattered seats. After a rough count, there should be more than 20 tables. The tables and chairs are still very new. Judging from the interior decoration, this place should have been renovated not long ago. The whole decoration style is unified with the outside, and it is still modern and simple.
We briefly turned around on the first floor, but there was nothing to see. I just hope to find some small corners and corners, and fix it in a while so that I can bargain for the price. It turned out that the entire dumpling restaurant was well maintained by the boss. It can be seen that it is really operated with emotion, and I am a little ashamed. Am I too a profiteer
The boss led us up to the second floor and climbed a few stairs. The second floor is a corridor. There are various private rooms on both sides.
The smallest is a four-person room, and the larger one is for ten or twenty people. I randomly opened a room to have a look, and the overall situation was similar to the one downstairs, whether it was walls, floors, tables or chairs, they all looked brand new. I admire this boss more and more.
Qin Yiheng and Bai Kai whispered a few words to each other, and asked the boss to take us directly to the boxes used by the old people.
After walking a few steps, the boss opened a door on the side of the corridor. After lighting up the lights inside, a box for ten people came into our sight.
A few people watched from outside the door, also for the sake of caution. There is nothing special about this box. The area is not small, except for the round dining table in the center, there are two sofas beside it. The tone of the whole box is mainly warm, if it is not known that something strange happened here, I am afraid it still looks very warm.
Qin Yiheng walked in first, and turned his head to signal the boss not to follow.
The boss was also very tactful, saying that he was waiting in the lobby downstairs, so he gave us the place.
Bai Kai and I walked in together.
I have basically understood the routine of house watching. Look at the outside first, then the inside. Go inside and look at the four corners and then the center.
Qin Yiheng and Bai Kai walked around the room according to this number, and they both said they found nothing.
I sat on the sofa and smoked, and I was still a little nervous. It's not that I'm worried about something in the house, but I'm a little afraid that these two people will join forces to teach me again.
In the end, I was really afraid of something, I was thinking, Qin Yiheng said, Jiang Shuo, take a look for yourself, is there anything strange
I bit the bullet and turned around carefully, but neither of them noticed, let alone me.
However, he has a deeper understanding of the value of the house. The decoration of this box is very particular, without cutting corners at all.
I sat down again and asked, is the house clean? I don't feel anything.
Xiao Que, think about it. If the house is clean, why does the boss want us to buy it? Bai Kai put his face closer and said that this street is full of restaurants, not to mention anything else, the business next door is very good, and this place can be annexed completely. But why no one bought it
When I thought about it, Bai Kai's words were indeed on point. I said, what do you mean, the boss is hiding something? Did you deliberately dismiss him just now
Bai Kai nodded, and said to Qin Yiheng, Professor Qin, this student is very smart! Pay attention, don't let your puppy love delay your studies!
As Bai Kai spoke, he got up and walked to the round table, and pulled out a few chairs without any hassle. He knelt down, looked at it with his mobile phone and shouted, Qin Yiheng, you guessed right, there is indeed a problem with this table.
I groaned, is the co-author Xuanji on the table? Crouching down to see, as expected. I saw a lot of scratches on the back of the table. I stretched out my hand to touch it, and the scratches were very deep, as if some words were written or patterns were drawn, and I couldn't see clearly for a while.
Seeing that the brightness here is not enough, Bai Kai turned on the light on his phone. Only then did I realize that the entire back of the table was almost completely engraved with Chinese characters! What makes me even more strange is that the arrangement of these Chinese characters looks very familiar to me, as if I have seen it somewhere.
what is this? Look so familiar! I tilted my head and asked Qin Yiheng.
is a compass. Qin Yiheng didn't squat down, I could only see his two legs.
I immediately realized that this thing is in Qin Yiheng's house. But he seldom uses it, and just keeps it on the antique shelf as an ornament. I saw a lot of fortune tellers on the street, and more often I saw those so-called Feng Shui masters, bluffing around with a compass. I thought to myself that this thing is engraved here, are those old men masters of Feng Shui? Come here to discuss business together? In the end, everyone agreed that they had understood the secrets of heaven, and life was meaningless, so they went to the Western Paradise together to learn scriptures
Just as I was about to open my mouth, I heard Bai Kai say again, the direction is correct, those old men took their seats according to the direction of the compass. Qin Yiheng, put your chair here, and I'll see what these old men mean.
Following the sound of the chair moving in the room, Qin Yiheng walked back and forth several times. He patted the table, meaning it was done.
I also stood up at this time. Although the table is not short, it is still uncomfortable to squat under it.
Qin Yiheng pointed to one of the chairs and asked me to sit down. After a while, Bai Kai also sat down. The positions of the three people basically form a triangle. Neither of them said anything, as if they were both thinking. It took a while to hear Bai Kai muttering, if it's eight old men... Damn it! Did the old man use himself as a divination? This is a formation
I didn't hear the first two sentences clearly, thinking that Bai Kai was talking about how the old man died. It wasn't until I heard Qin Yiheng repeat Bian that I realized that this hexagram refers to the azimuth hexagram on the compass, and the eight old people corresponded to the gossip.
It seems that there is indeed a problem with this house. I couldn't help but ask, is there something evil found under the foundation of the house? Those old people came to eliminate harm for the people, but failed
no. It is not a big picture to use people to make divination. Strictly speaking, this is not a bureau at all, but a tactic. Many people even use it when they get married. Find a few people who correspond to the horoscope and the hexagram to greet the relatives, so as to ensure the peace of the children and grandchildren. Qin Yiheng slowly shook his head and said, those old people may have no other way. It was out of necessity.
Why do you have to? I thought about it, if it doesn't have much to do with the house. Is it because of someone
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Bai Kai say, "Qin Yiheng, do you still remember the news that there was a plate of raw meat on the table!" The position of the meat place must correspond to a hexagram, and the person corresponding to that hexagram is the purpose of the old man's visit!
Um. I figured it out. Qin Yiheng turned his head and looked outside the door and said that the plate of meat was used to feed Huang Daxian. We are all careless, the house is fine, but the owner of the house really has a problem!
