Qin Yiheng pointed to those rough animal totems and asked me to look at them, and said, "These are all one kind of animal, but the poses are different, and I don't know what the specific meaning is."
His observations were really careful. These totems were indeed animals, but they couldn't tell what kind of animals they were. In short, they had four legs and tails for sure.
I don't know if I'm too sleepy, my head is completely covered. What's the matter? Fang Wanjin and the mysterious old man in the hat, let us buy this thing back, that is, let us watch the menstrual period of the old man's ancestral mistress in power? Isn't this fucking psychopath? Besides, this thing has to be of a certain age, even if you are afraid of being pregnant with something, it won't be buried under the house, so you can just remember it
Besides, no matter how human-like a child is, it is just a congenital deformity. From a biological point of view, it is impossible for a human to conceive an animal.
Thinking about it this way, I seemed to have a little enlightenment, and asked Qin Yiheng: "Is it possible that this family has a family history of genetic diseases, and many children were born with congenital deformities. Since science and technology were not developed at that time, there was no way to find out whether there were defects. So this family can only try to avoid it through superstitious means, so they attach so much importance to this matter, after all, heirs were a big family matter at that time."
He listened and thought for a while, and said, "Your analysis is quite logical, but after all, it's just pure guesswork right now, and we'll have to wait for Fang Wanjin to come back to find out."
After talking here, it was almost evening, Qin Yiheng looked at his watch and said that the exchange of views had been almost done, so he went back first and let me catch up on sleep at home alone, and we will talk about everything when I wake up. After finishing speaking, he put away the house and left with the bird cage.
After Qin Yiheng left, I took a shower and lay alone on the bed for a long time. It may be that Red Bull drank too much and never fell asleep. When he finally felt sleepy, the phone rang again. I didn't want to answer it at first, but I glanced at the phone number in a daze, and I had to answer it again, because this number was the number left to me by the old man in the hat.
The phone call was made directly by the old man, and the tone was still that stinky. He told me on the phone that he took the liberty of delaying my time last time, so he made a special trip to find me a business this time. When it came to the word "business", he also specifically emphasized that it was the business of the house, and asked me if I was interested.
I don't have a good impression of this old man. Even when he talks about business, his tone is still commanding. I was very upset and hesitated for a while but still didn't dare to refuse. Firstly, I considered that I could take the opportunity to inquire about the hat; secondly, the car I saw him in last time was not a poor man, and the business might be very profitable. I am also a businessman, and I must look at money.
So, I told the old man that I couldn't make the decision myself, and I needed to talk to one of my partners before I could give him an answer. Who knew that the old man smiled and said, "No need to ask, I have already called Qin Yiheng, and the other side has agreed, and I will wait for you to speak."
Hearing what the old man said, I felt a little uneasy. The phone here is not hung up, and I can't call Qin Yiheng, so I have to send a text message to Qin Yiheng, just three words: "Do you have business?" I didn't expect Qin Yiheng to reply quickly, probably holding his mobile phone, the content of the text message Even more concise, just one word: "Yes."
Since Qin Yiheng agreed, I naturally couldn't refuse, so I made an appointment with the old man on the phone for a time and place for an interview. The old man told me that he was still in the teahouse and private room last time, and that he was waiting there tonight, and hung up the phone after speaking.
As soon as the phone here hung up, I immediately called Qin Yiheng. Before I could open my mouth to ask a question, he answered first. He told me that the old man also called him, and he didn't know where he got the number. Whether the business can be done is another matter, and the purpose is to meet the old man.
After we met, we entered the teahouse together, and I led him into the private room.
When I opened the door, I was surprised. This time, the old man was sitting alone drinking tea and wearing that hat.
When the old man saw us coming in, he didn't say hello. He just pushed two teacups over where we were sitting, and didn't pour tea for us.
After sitting down, I kept observing Qin Yiheng's expression. He was very calm, and poured a cup of tea by himself. After drinking, he didn't speak, but kept staring at the old man, as if waiting for the old man to speak first.
The old man didn't even raise his eyes. He drank three cups of tea before he looked at us and asked, "Which of you two is responsible for signing the contract?"
I raised my hand at the old man, indicating that it was me.
The old man looked at me, said "yes", and continued: "I have an old house, in my hometown, and I haven't been back for many years, so let's leave it alone, why don't I just pass it to you."
After finishing speaking, the old man stared at me again, as if waiting for my statement. I was looked at very helplessly. He didn't even say the general situation of the house, and he didn't know the location, location, and area of the house. How should I express my opinion
I had no choice but to give a symbolic "ah" first, hoping that he would continue talking. Who knew that he stopped talking instead, drank a few sips of tea, and then said: "There are still some old furniture in the house, such as tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., and they can be disposed of for you at a low price. Some old furniture is also very valuable, what do you think?"
The old man looked at us with meaningful eyes while talking. I am very entangled. Under this situation, I can't even wink with Qin Yiheng.
I was in a hurry when I felt that Qin Yiheng quietly reached out and tapped my thigh, and quickly wrote ok on my leg with his fingers.
Now that I finally had some reassurance, I nodded to the old man, said yes, and asked when I could visit the house.
Seeing that I agreed, the old man stood up and walked out, saying as he walked, "Someone will contact you, that's all for today." He opened the door and went out.
I wanted to get up and chase after him. After all, I hadn't had time to ask about the hat yet. It was obvious that Qin Yiheng didn't intend to move, so I just sat down and asked him what he thought. He took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said: "This old man really has a deep city, and the hat is indeed the same as the one left by Liu Xizi. But if the old man doesn't want to tell, even if he tortures him, he can't find out anything." .”
"And the most important thing is..." He stood up and squeezed a needle out of the teacup the old man had just used.
This made me stunned, the needle is very thin, if I drink it carelessly, wouldn't it kill me
I asked Qin Yiheng what it was, and he told me that this needle was made by a quenching puppet, which is also commonly known as a sticking villain. As the name implies, this puppet is a puppet made of straw or cloth, tied with a red rope around the waist, with the person's name and birth date inside or outside, and then when it is extremely cloudy—this time is not necessarily twelve o'clock in the middle of the night , according to the local feng shui yin and yang to judge - rush the puppet to the position of the person written on the birthday horoscope, stick the needle on it, and after seventy-seven forty-nine days, the person who was stabbed will have a catastrophe.
This is different from what is told in many film and television dramas or folk tales. It is not that where the person is stabbed, the corresponding part of the person will hurt. On the contrary, after the villain is stabbed, the person who is stabbed will have a short The prosperous luck, because the villain is actually a game that concentrates all the fortunes within forty-nine days into one day's decline.
Not only in China, but also in other parts of the world, there are similar witchcraft, secret methods, and derived alchemy, and the general operation is similar. Among them is a derived alchemy that requires a whole nail of the person who pierces the person, which is also hidden in the belly of the doll. Every time a needle is inserted, it is said that one's own pain will be transferred to that person. After forty-nine days of piercing, the needle is taken out and soaked in water to drink, and the pierced person will slowly recover, and the pierced person will get sick.
This kind of alchemy is somewhat similar to that shown in many film and television dramas, but few people know it. Speaking of this, he asked me if I noticed something stuck on the old man's index finger just now. It is estimated that the nail on that finger has disappeared. The old man may be suffering from some serious illness.
I really didn't pay attention to it just now, but I don't think this old man looks like he will die soon. Will co-authoring this alchemy really work? I asked Qin Yiheng, and he shook his head and told me that he had only heard about the effects of many alchemy techniques from the older generation, but had never seen anyone practice them in person, so he couldn't tell whether it was useful or not, or whether it was just hearsay. .
I nodded, thinking that this kind of harmful alchemy should not be useful. But I was still puzzled, even if I could see that the old man was using alchemy to heal himself, it had nothing to do with Zhaizi, why did he agree so easily
When asked, he just mentioned that when the old man was talking just now, he mentioned the furniture intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes obviously hinted at it, so he guessed that the old man would not just mention something casually, I am afraid that there is something in his so-called furniture. , has what we're looking for.
After he reminded me like this, I understood that this old man also has a wardrobe at home? Those wardrobes that he had seen in the ancestral hall are in his hands now
