Haunted Houses’ Chronicles

Chapter 56: Watch out for ghosts

Views:

I was terrified by my own thought, and immediately reported it to Qin Yiheng. But he didn't react too much, he just turned his head and glanced at the door, asked me to help tidy up the things on the ground, and said, "That's it for today." Without explaining to me, he put his bag on his back silently, Pull me out of the house.

On the way back, Qin Yiheng also seemed to be thinking and kept silent. He didn’t take out the previous sketch from his bag until both of them lay down in the hotel, looked left and right, muttered to himself for a long time, then turned his head and said to me: “After all, there’s a door, I still can’t see it. Be careful, we can only wait until we enter that room during the day, and we can only see what happened at night."

What he meant was that he was still going to guard the house and wait for ghosts. I guessed from his expression that things were not optimistic, and I felt some hesitation in my heart. Although this house is cheap, it will definitely not be sold for a while. I can't estimate the details of how much profit it will make. It seems a bit unworthy to risk my life for this little money. But I changed my mind, among the many houses before, which one was not taken at the risk of my life? In the end, I nodded and agreed, and asked Qin Yiheng what happened to the shadow on the eggshell, and what plans he had next.

When he heard me ask, he shook his head and told me that he had to come up with the idea of egg shells. According to common sense, this is not a method in alchemy, but a way used by the southern minorities to see "Gu".

It is said that people who have been planted with Gu will see black shadows on their bodies in this way, and wizards of ethnic minorities can judge what kind of Gu it is through the black shadows on them; Who is the person who played the Gu? Of course, he only heard about it, but never saw it with his own eyes. However, judging from the current personal operation situation, this is probably not fabricated out of thin air. Because from the understanding of metaphysics, this Gu is actually a kind of filth, which cannot be seen or touched, and eggs have always been used to ward off evil spirits, especially those touched by birthday stars on birthdays. There may be some communication between the two through the wax connection, but he can't figure out the specific reason.

After Qin Yiheng finished explaining, he yawned, told me to rest quickly, and fell asleep by himself. I wanted to ask more questions, but I had no choice but to close my eyes seeing him like this.

This sleep went straight to the next afternoon, we got up and ate something hastily, went to the supermarket to buy some bread and ham sausage for dinner, and the two of them went back to the house.

The daytime is full of sunshine, we opened all the windows of the house, and we didn't feel anything unusual in the house.

What surprised me was that when Qin Yiheng went to pull the door, he didn't use much strength, and it seemed that the movement of opening the door was easy. Curiously, I closed the door and tried to pull it myself, and it was no different from opening an ordinary door.

Now I'm quite nervous. Doesn't this show that the things in the house can come and go freely? But seeing Qin Yiheng acting as if nothing had happened, I settled down and helped him organize his things.

This room is not small, and there is a bed and a small amount of bedroom furniture in the room. It seems that no one has lived there for a long time, not only the bed, but even the floor is covered with a thick layer of dust. Fortunately, I had the foresight to bring a newspaper, not only to pass the time, but also to put it on the floor at night, so as not to dirty the clothes.

The things prepared were actually similar to the ones from the previous night, the only difference was that Qin Yiheng prepared double portions. He placed the two candles in two positions, one closer to the door and one farther away from the door, and he didn't know if the other one was a spare. After setting up the candles, he took out the red paper and started folding things. It was dark last night, and he burned it not long after he finished folding it, and I didn't see it clearly, but this time I finally saw clearly that what he folded was the kind of paper boat that everyone would fold when he was a child. The difference is that after folding the paper boat, he cut a hole in the bottom of the boat with a knife.

I asked curiously, and he told me that this step was added by himself, and he didn't completely copy the way of watching Gu. Red paper boats and broken bilges are used to stabilize the soul in alchemy, which is the same as using the falling soul stone. Use it to start a fire in the middle, just in case.

After finishing speaking, Qin Yiheng carefully took out the box from his bag, took out two pieces of egg shells, handed one to me, pointed to the candle far from the door and said, "You lie behind me tonight, When I look, if you see something behind me, remind me immediately."

I heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, this time I finally don't need to fuck me to lure ghosts. I went to lie down behind the candle and felt it in advance, and felt that the posture was very awkward. Even though the room is not small, it is quite tense for two people to lie vertically and horizontally, and there is still a distance between us. After I lay down, my legs could only rest on the foot of the bed very aggrieved. However, this treatment is not bad, at least it is much more comfortable than bumping into ghosts head-on.

Everything was ready, and all that was left was to wait for night to fall.

It was only after three o'clock in the afternoon when we came, and there was still a long time before it got dark. I was going to use my mobile phone to chat online, but unexpectedly found that there were two mice in this room, blatantly wanting to eat the bread I put on the ground. I just fiddled with the broom and killed rats to pass the time.

After I finished dealing with the two mice, it was almost five o'clock, and I took another bite of dinner, watching the sky outside the window gradually darken.

Qin Yiheng did not act immediately, but patiently waited until it was completely dark before he got up and drew the curtains, and instructed me to lie down, then turned off the light, lit the paper boat with a lighter, lit two candles, and then he also lay down Behind the candle near the door.

Although the lights in the room were turned off, there were two candles to illuminate the room, which was considered bright. It's just that the candle was in front of my eyes, which greatly affected my vision. I was afraid that I might miss something, so I could only focus all my attention on Qin Yiheng's back.

I stared wide-eyed for about five minutes before I saw him move a few times. Judging from his posture, he should have covered his eyes with egg shells. When it finally came to the truth, I was quite nervous and couldn't help holding my breath. When I held my breath, I felt that my heartbeat was amplified several times.

I waited a while, and the room was dead silent. Qin Yiheng didn't make a sound. I wonder, he fell asleep? I wanted to stand up to see if something was wrong, but I was afraid that there might be some omissions in such a move. After all, I still have tasks to do, so I was quite entangled for a while.

Just as I was hesitating, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the room.

It's not loud, rustling, but it's obvious. At first I thought it was another mouse, but after listening carefully, I didn't think it was the same. The source of the sound was very fixed, and I calmed down to distinguish it. It seemed to be coming from Qin Yiheng.

"What are you doing?" I asked him in a low voice, puzzled. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately stretched his hands back and shook them several times, which meant to tell me to keep quiet.

When he moved like this, my scalp felt a little numb, and then I suddenly remembered that Xu Chuanxiang said before that there would be a sound of scratching the door at night in the house, could it be this noise

I listened attentively, and felt that the sound didn't seem to be coming from above the door, but rather like something was rubbing against the floor. The decoration of this house is very luxurious, the floors are all solid wood, very thick, I tried to scratch the floor with my fingers twice, but my fingernails are very short, and I didn’t dare to use force, so the sound was so low that even myself I can't hear them, so I can't compare them.

But one thing I am sure of, at least this news is not the same as what Xu Chuanxiang said. Although the voice sounded very real, the volume was relatively low. It is impossible to wake up a sleeping person through two doors.

I thought to myself, the movement must have come from outside the door? I wanted to ask Qin Yiheng, he was closer to the door than me after all, but he couldn't make a sound, and finally there was nothing to do, so I simply put my ear to the floor, trying to hear where the sound came from.

Lie down, and after listening for a while, I felt something was wrong. This movement came from this room, and the more I heard it, the more panicked I became. Why does it really sound like someone is scratching the floor with their fingernails? Qin Yiheng and I are the only two people in this room. Is this thing under the floor

As soon as this thought came to me, I almost jumped up from the ground. If there is any filth, I will be separated from myself by a wooden board, peeping from below, it is creepy to think about it.

I restrained myself for a long time before pushing myself to the ground. I really want to smoke, but I can’t speak to ask for instructions. I can only tap the floor lightly with my fingers, trying to attract Qin Yiheng’s attention. I plan to wait for him to look back at me and ask him what his plan is with his expression.

Qin Yiheng heard my voice, moved his shoulders, sat up directly, turned around, with a serious face.

Seeing his expression, I felt like I was done talking, and I always felt that the next thing he was going to say was that we were going to die here tonight.

On the contrary, Qin Yiheng actually lit a cigarette and said, "I have found the reason why the door is not easy to open." Then, he blew out his candle, pointed to mine, and asked me to open it. See for yourself, he stepped aside to smoke.

A candle was blown out, and the room was visibly darkened.

Once the environment is exaggerated, it is quite scary, but it must not be dangerous.

I blocked the eggshell, and when I opened my eyes, my head felt a little numb. Although I have seen this shadow before, I really didn't expect it to be so clear when I looked at it from inside the room.

Of course, this clarity is only relative, after all it is still a shadow, but even so, it is enough for me to make a rough idea. It was outside the door before, and because of the angle, I thought it was an animal, but now it looks like it's not an animal, it's clearly a person.

The posture of this person is terribly strange, with his hands in front of his chest, as if holding something, the whole person is leaning on the door, tilting his head, looking like a woman. Other than that, nothing can be seen.

I stared wide-eyed for a long time, but I forgot to be afraid, but the more I looked at it, the more strange it became. Qin Yiheng said that he had found the reason why the door was not easy to open, and it must have something to do with this female ghost. However, I didn't see from the shadow that the door was being dragged, or was she asleep now, and stood up when she woke up? This is so fucking fake!
