Liu Laizi's proposal is really worth a try, but I still have no idea, if something goes wrong, our lives will be on the line. I think, anyway, he will be the one to execute it when the time comes, so let him have a try. I actually have selfish reasons for thinking this way, if he succeeds, I will take this house without any effort; if he fails, it is not me who caused the trouble, so I hesitated and agreed. The two of us shared our ideas with the old lady, and she was quite supportive, so Liu Lizi and I made an appointment with her to come back in the evening, and then got up to leave.

Going back to the hotel is nothing more than a waste of time, and there is nothing to prepare. We casually dealt with some food, and came back when it was almost time. Liu Laizi told the old lady in advance, saying that no matter what happens in the house, she will not come in, for fear that the old man's soul will really show up, and she will rush in by mistake, causing chaos The old man's god is prone to trouble.

After waiting for some hours, the old lady was settled, and Liu Lizi and I closed the bedroom door and put out the chess set. To be honest, I didn't want to come to this muddy water at first. Although Liu Zizi wanted to satisfy his own curiosity, he was also doing things for me after all, so I had to accompany him no matter what the situation was.

After nightfall, time passed quickly, but we waited for a long time with staring eyes, and there was no movement in the house. At first, I was still a little scared, but it took me a while, but I survived. Liu Zizi saw that there was no way to wait for so long, so he asked me if I was wearing something to ward off evil spirits, which washed away the yin energy in the room and prevented the old man from showing himself.

I turned it back and forth and found nothing. Liu Laizi felt very strange, and asked me, is it because the two of us are too yang? How about you go out and hide for a while

I wish he had this proposal, just to stay away from this place of right and wrong. Just as he was about to leave, Liu Zizi said again, forget it, if something happens, there is no one to help. We thought about it again and again, and Liu Laizi actually suggested to me to hide under the bed.

The bed in the bedroom is a high bed. There is a lot of space under the bed. If you want to hide from someone, you can turn over or something, but there is a lot of dust. I squatted down and took a look, and felt that his proposal was not reliable at all, but if I didn't talk about it, the two of us couldn't wait like this forever. I thought about it, so I got in and put on a show, so that I would have the confidence to persuade him to give up in the end.

So, I picked up a few newspapers from the house, spread them briefly, and got in. As soon as I got down on my stomach, my line of sight immediately became narrow because of the bed. I could only see Liu Lizi's two calves walking around the room, and I didn't know what I was touching.

After a while, I heard some strange movements in the room. I carefully identified it, but I couldn't tell what it was coming from. I only saw Liu Lizi still walking up and down in the room.

Immediately afterwards, I became nervous inexplicably, and after watching for a while, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell, so I had to concentrate on watching Liu Lizi's legs walking faster and faster in the room. Suddenly, I found a problem—Liu Laizi's feet don't seem to be lame at all!

This time, my scalp felt a little numb in an instant, but it wasn't easy to show it, so I could only tighten my body and try to breathe calmly. I came here with Liu Laizi before, even if I didn't pay attention deliberately, I still saw him walking with a limp. Why is his foot suddenly healed at this moment? Had he been faking it before? But if it's an act, I'm obviously still in this room, why doesn't he continue acting

I tried my best to calm down, and suddenly another idea came up, which shocked me. The old lady mentioned before that her old man would pace back and forth in the bedroom in the middle of the night. Could it be that Liu Zizi was caught accidentally just now

Now I'm even more at a loss. I want to go out to save him, but I have no ability. I'm afraid I will die in vain. But don't go out. Don't tell me when he's finished. Do I want to stay under the bed with this evil thing all night?

Just as I was hesitating, Cripple Liu suddenly stopped. However, to say that he stopped is only to confirm that his footsteps have stopped. I don't know what he is busy with. Cripple Liu stood in front of the bed, as if thinking about something, and then I saw his body slowly squat down.

I was so nervous that I was suffocating, and seeing a face that wasn't his would really scare me to death. Fortunately, he just bent down, as if picking up something from the floor. It's so small that I can't see it clearly. Afterwards, Liu Laizi walked to the edge of chess, because the room was extremely quiet, I could hear the sound of him slowly putting down the chess pieces, is he playing chess? In order to see his situation clearly, I turned my body sideways, but my sight was still extremely limited.

Liu Laizi seemed to play chess very leisurely, but I still broke out in cold sweat, with my head resting on my arms, and I felt my heart was beating to my ears. I immediately changed my posture, because Qin Yiheng said before that if you hear the heartbeat appearing in other parts of the body, such as fingers, ears, arms, etc., it is when your soul is most unstable, and it is easy to be seduced.

After ten minutes passed like this, Limp Liu got up, turned on the light, and called me out. His voice was the same, but I saw it clearly from under the bed just now, there is nothing wrong with his feet, so I still have to be careful. But after thinking about it, even if I don't go out, if he wants to harm me, I basically won't run away, so I might as well go out first to see what's going on.

So, I climbed out, and saw that there was no change in the room, except that the chess pieces on the chessboard had indeed been moved. I don't know if liu lazi just played chess with that old man, but his expression didn't seem like he was planning some kind of conspiracy, so i tried to ask him how he was doing now.

Liu Laizi spread his hands and said that he had been around for a long time, but he didn't see the old man coming out. He thought that if he moved the chess pieces, the opponent would show up. As a result, he finished playing all the chess pieces by himself, and the room was still safe and sound. I can only give up. After I listened to what he said, I went to look at the chess game again. The red square's piece was completely eaten, and the situation has become a dead game. I couldn't help being more suspicious in my heart, but I didn't dare to tear up my face immediately and question Liu Laizi, so I could only think about going back first, and then make plans after seeing Qin Yiheng.

I propose to tell the old lady, and we will go back to the hotel. Cripple Liu nodded, saying that was the only way to go, so he opened the door first and went out. I was about to leave when I suddenly heard something fall on the floor, and when I looked down, it turned out to be a chess piece. Surprisingly, I was not afraid at this time, but picked up the chess piece curiously. Before I could take a closer look, there was a sudden commotion outside the house, the old lady's scream was so clear, I put the chess pieces in my pocket casually, and rushed out.

From the door of my bedroom to the living room, it is only a few steps away, but because of the size of the apartment, I can't directly see the situation in the living room when I leave the door of the bedroom. When I ran out, the old lady was left alone in the living room. I hurriedly asked the old lady what was wrong, I guess she was too scared to speak but couldn't speak. The more she behaved like this, the more anxious I became, so I didn't wait at all, and just chased her out first, presumably Liu Laizi must be outside.

However, when I chased outside, there was no sign of Cripple Liu. Instead, I saw Qin Yiheng holding something like a flag with his back to me, panting heavily. I went over to ask him what was wrong, but he didn't answer, but went straight to the old man's bedroom. With the help of the light, I could see that what he was holding in his hand was actually a banner for summoning souls. This kind of flag is usually held high by the eldest son in front of the funeral. First, it can let the deceased relatives remember the road from home to burial; When a loved one is dead, don't embarrass your family on the road. However, Qin Yiheng is holding this thing now, and I can't figure out what it means. Since we have known each other, we have never heard him talk about family affairs. Could it be that he did not meet me on time this time because something happened at home

Thinking of this, I wanted to go up and comfort him, but he didn't pay attention to me, he just walked around the room, and suddenly turned to me and said, damn it, he took it away!
