I stood up, asked Qin Yiheng for a cigarette, and asked him, "Is this a ghost?"
He shook his head, motioning for me to look again.
I had no choice but to light a cigarette and observe patiently.
I don't know if it's because I'm not very sensitive to graphics. Anyway, I looked at it for a while, and the smoke was all over my eyes, but I didn't see anything.
In the end, it is estimated that Qin Yiheng was really impatient to wait, so he lay down next to me, pointed to the approximate location on the door and asked me: "Do you see clearly what this person is holding in his arms?"
When he asked this question, I took another look carefully. I looked carefully just now, but the focus of the observation has always been to see what this woman looks like.
There is no way to do this, after all, it is a male instinct.
Now after he reminded me, I saw some tricks. This woman seems to be holding something in her arms.
It is said to be holding something, but there is no specific image. At best, there are a few relatively darker shadows on the woman's chest.
Observing on the egg shell is already a test of eyesight, let alone distinguishing these small shadows carefully. I counted for a long time but couldn't figure out how many there were, and the shadows were too small, so it was impossible to guess what these things were from the outlines.
In terms of intuitive feeling, I don't think it looks like she is holding something, but I am more inclined that this woman is wearing a knitted wool vest with a large plaid pattern. Seeing this, I asked Qin Yiheng: "What the hell are these shadows?"
He pointed to the doorknob and said, "The reason why the door is not easy to open is on the doorknob." Then he motioned me to continue looking.
To be honest, I can only bear his stinking problem, and I have the patience to look at the doorknob.
From the eggshell, the shadow of the woman is still a short distance from the doorknob, and nothing else can be seen. However, I suddenly realized something. I didn't pay attention to it just now. I don't know when it started. The sound of scratching the floor seemed to disappear. I held my breath to check, and sure enough, it was gone.
Obviously not a good sign, right? I hurriedly reported it to Qin Yiheng, but he waved his hand to tell me not to worry, and asked me again: "Did you see the mystery?"
His question left me completely speechless. I just stared at the egg shells all night, I really didn't see the mystery, I could see the chick just by looking at it. I lit a cigarette and directly had a showdown with Qin Yiheng, asking him to tell the answer directly.
He saw that my face was down, so he smiled and told me not to get angry. As he spoke, he walked to the door and pointed to the doorknob and told me that the reason why the door was hard to open was because there was a "Huigong" tied to the doorknob! This "huigong" is the shadow seen on the egg shell.
On the eggshell, it seemed that the shadow did not touch the doorknob. That was because the woman's hair was tied to the doorknob, and her feet were nailed to the floor, unable to move.
Due to the problem of the angle and the shadow itself, we can only get a rough look, so we can't see what the woman's posture is like. In fact, she wasn't leaning against the door, but her entire back was hanging in the air, and she didn't have any contact with the door. It seemed that her whole body weight was concentrated on her hair, which happened to be tied to the doorknob Come on, just use her body to drag the door to death.
That's why when we pull the door out, it feels heavy, but when we close the door, the external force disappears. Speaking of which, it looks a bit like the automatic closing mechanism made of springs installed on old-fashioned wooden doors.
Qin Yiheng's explanation made me fall into a cloud of mist. Even if this filth is evil, it is something invisible and intangible.
Why, according to what he said, is it still a device that automatically closes the door
And the most elusive thing for me is that, in the understanding of ordinary people, ghosts and filth should be weightless, isn't it just a light gust of wind? Why is this so contrary to common sense
I thought about it, and unwillingly lay down to take another look. The shadow on the eggshell was still that ghostly character. After Qin Heng said, I could barely tell that this woman's posture was not leaning against the door.
But I still don't understand, even if this thing can really be used as an automatic door closing device, who arranged it here? Xu Chuanxiang, or the previous owner of the house? What kind of mentality is this? Just for fun
I had no idea, so I stood up and lit a cigarette, pointed to the door with my chin, and signaled Qin Yiheng to continue.
He let out a "hmm" and continued to tell me with his hand gestures that this "Huigong" is not a ghost according to legend, but a soul, because this woman's physical body did not die, but was hooked out for some reason , and finally tied here with means. The reason why it has weight is not because it really has "mass", but because these wandering souls instinctively want to return to their bodies, so they will always want to break free from this bondage.
As he said that, Qin Yiheng pointed under the bed with his toes, and continued: "We have actually seen the thing in this woman's arms this afternoon, and it came out from under the bed."
When he said that, I immediately understood that he was referring to the two mice that I had killed.
All those shadows in this woman's arms are mice
My comprehension ability is not bad, so why do I become more and more confused the more I listen
I looked at Qin Yiheng, he seemed to think that these things were not difficult to understand, which made me a little embarrassed to say that I couldn't understand.
Fortunately, before I could ask any questions, he continued to explain: "That's right, those shadows are mice, to be precise, they are the souls of mice.
"And the reason why these mice are in this woman's arms is probably the same as the reason why this woman is here. In addition, the man who died first in the house dressed as a woman, combined, I am afraid there is only one possibility, That is, someone used 'Hui Gong' to make a game.
"In fact, the form of tribute is not limited to food, cattle and sheep, and money. Broadly speaking, as long as the gods or ghosts who pay the tribute like it, everything in the world can become a tribute. This is the same as everyone's hobbies. Those melons Fruit cakes are equivalent to our daily meals. Although they are essential, they can only be used as general tributes.
"Throughout the ages, there have been living sacrifices (killing livestock), human sacrifices (killing people), and female sacrifices (killing virgins). There are endless ways of worship, and tributes are all-encompassing. There are good ones and bad ones. This 'huigong' refers to Those bad tributes. However, even though they are not good, they are only described verbally, because since the offerings and worship must be pious people, so, in metaphysics, "Hi Gong" mainly refers to those who have good intentions. Doing wrong things and bringing disasters to oneself does not specifically refer to tributes, this can be regarded as jargon in the industry."
After finishing speaking, Qin Yiheng took a long puff of smoke and said, "As for today's 'Hi Gong', I'm afraid it's not dedicated to ghosts and gods or ancestors, but this house."
I'm completely confused, can this house still eat tribute? This is not an old house in itself, nor does it have the origins of those old houses that have gone through so many years!
Besides, according to Qin Yiheng's intention, nailing the tribute's feet to the floor and tying his hair to the doorknob, is this house still a sadist
This is too ridiculous! For the first time, I felt that ghosts and gods could no longer be described as incredible, but abnormal.
I told Qin Yiheng what I thought, and he was very happy to hear it, and told me, I am afraid that the simple explanation now is really not easy for me to understand, but he can show me something, I think I will be able to do it after reading it. Understood.
After speaking, he pushed the door open with his shoulder and led me directly to the yard.
When I left this room, my legs couldn't help but feel weak. Although I picked off the egg shells and the door looked empty, I was still worried that the woman would grab my legs at any time. I stepped out the door on tiptoe and let out a long breath.
We didn't stay long when we came to the courtyard. Qin Yiheng just stopped for a moment, looked around, and asked me to follow him out of the courtyard gate, and the two went around to the back of the right-hand wing.
He looked left and right at the base of the wall for a long time, as if he was picking a location, and finally pointed to a place and said, "This is the opening."
He said it was a hole, and I was quite puzzled. The wall was intact, even if there was not even a piece of paint falling off, how could there be a hole? I took a closer look while thinking. After all, this is a high-end community with complete facilities and brighter street lights, so the visibility is still very good.
But I lowered my head and searched around, but still didn't find anything, so I asked Qin Yiheng: "What is the hole? Is it in the soil or on the wall?"
