He was so startled that I almost peed my pants in fucking fright.
Not to mention looking back, I didn't even bother to look forward, I could only stare at the ground, afraid of falling, and ran outside.
Fortunately, the two of us had already removed the furniture before, and there were no obstacles when we ran.
When I was approaching the door, I suddenly remembered that I should remind Qin Yiheng that I saw the person on the skylight. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard a "crash" behind him, followed by a clanging sound as if something had hit the wardrobe.
I looked back subconsciously, the skylight was smashed by something, and the glass shattered all over the floor.
In my hurry, I couldn't take a closer look, and I didn't see if that person was still there.
We ran all the way, and we didn't stop until we ran a few hundred meters on the road out of the yard. The two of them took a breath before I asked Qin Yiheng what happened.
He told me that now is not the time to talk about this, we have to find a place to settle down before discussing long-term plans, and then took me to knock on the door one by one to see if we could stay overnight.
After knocking on several houses, I managed to find a place to live. Originally, the family didn't plan to open the door for us. After all, it was late at night, and both of us had foreign accents, so no one could rest assured. In the end, I paid the price of a five-star hotel, and managed to get into a rundown house.
I don't know what other people's homes are like. Anyway, judging from the house we lived in, the living standard in this small town is actually not high. Such a comparison makes it even more obvious that something is wrong with that house.
After entering the room, the two of them were not in the mood to sleep. I was waiting for Qin Yiheng to speak. He seemed to be thinking about something by himself.
After smoking several cigarettes, he finally opened his mouth and told me: "The man on the skylight didn't come to harm us now. On the contrary, he probably came to remind us. This man probably knew about this house early on. There is something wrong with it, that's why the soul-suppressing talisman was written on the skylight."
"Strictly speaking, the talisman's warning function is far greater than its actual function. The reason why it was chosen is to warn us that there is something unstoppable in this house."
Qin Yiheng lit another cigarette, and continued, "Before, we only paid attention to the things in the closet and ignored what was under the closet. When you went out just now, I remembered that I reached out and knocked, and found that there was nothing under the closet. of."
Hearing what he said, I understand very clearly that there is a door god on the door of the closet. It seems that our previous guess was correct. There is a tunnel entrance under the closed closet? I asked Qin Yiheng, but he shook his head and told me that he tried to distinguish it with his voice. The empty part behind the closet is not big, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that it is the entrance of the tunnel. However, there must be some filth in there, because when he touched it with his hands, he could clearly feel the Yin Qi making people uncomfortable, so he took me out so anxiously.
Things turned out like this, I thought about finding out what was behind the closet, and I had to wait until the daytime to find out again, so I discussed it with Qin Yiheng. But he disagreed, saying that since someone had come to remind him, he should not go to that place lightly. When we were running outside, one of the skylights was broken. I don’t know if it will have any impact. What we need to do now is to have a good night’s rest. After returning, we will ask the old man, and he will give an explanation .
After finishing speaking, he also asked me: "Do you know why that old man wanted us to come and see this house for no reason? I couldn't figure it out before, but now that I think about it, I have a guess, but this guess is outrageous." , that's the one that the old man wants us to lead us to write the soul talisman."
Qin Yiheng's speculation made me completely insomnia, after all, I still can't get used to the feeling of being surrounded by doubts.
It was almost dawn by this time.
I lay down for a long time before barely squinting for a while, and when I opened my eyes again, I found that I hadn't slept for long.
Qin Yiheng slept soundly. When he woke up, we went to the noodle shop to eat something again, and then we contacted the person who showed us the house, saying that we had finished watching and hoped that he would send us back again.
The man was still not salty, and he didn't ask anything. After waiting for a while, he really drove over, and he didn't know where he slept at night.
There is no need to repeat it on the way back. Compared with when I came here, I was less anxious, but more worried.
I'm mainly worried about whether the old man can give us the truth. He looks old and cunning, and I'm worried that he will cheat us again. Besides, I summed it up, there are too many questions to ask the old man.
I asked Qin Yiheng if he had any plans, and he said that every step counts, so I simply didn't think about it, and let him open his mouth when the time comes.
After a lot of tossing, I finally got home. I didn't take much rest. I took a shower at home and called the old man according to the original contact information. At first, I was worried that the call would be like Liuzhi, and I would never get through again, but the other party answered it quite happily, but it was not the old man who answered it himself, probably one of the attendants around him. I didn't say much on the phone, I just said that I finished watching the house, and now I hope to discuss it with the old man. They asked me to wait for a few minutes, and then made an appointment to meet me in that teahouse.
Qin Yiheng and I drove straight there.
Our speed was fast enough, but the old man arrived earlier than us, and I was a little suspicious that he lived in this teahouse.
It's still the same room, the old man still wears the same hat, and even the three of us sit in the same position. After sitting down, the old man still didn't take the initiative to speak. He drank several bowls of tea slowly and then nodded, which meant that we could chat.
Seeing the old man like this, I felt very upset, it made it clear that he never wanted to discuss business with the two of us before. However, I didn't show it, I lit a cigarette and waited for Qin Yiheng to speak.
Qin Yiheng was not ambiguous, he opened his mouth and asked the old man directly what was under the closet. He asked this question very cleverly. He not only showed that we had already found the wardrobe, but he didn't say that we opened the wardrobe.
In the end, the old man remained calm, so he replied with one word: "Well."
Then the room fell silent. Qin Yiheng didn't speak, and the old man didn't say much.
After waiting for a while, Qin Yiheng asked again: "Who is that person?"
The old man looked at me instead, shook his head, and then fell silent again.
The two of them asked and answered like this, and they were almost catching up with the right signal. I didn't dare to intervene, so I could only worry in my heart.
I was quite embarrassed when the old man looked at me. After all, the two of us made a mess of his house, and I was a little guilty.
This kind of situation made people feel uncomfortable, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore, so I followed the old man's words and asked: "What's in the well?"
The old man smiled when I asked him, but still didn't speak, he just took a stack of paper from the chair next to him and handed it to me. I looked even more puzzled.
I have seen this thing too much in the past few years. This is a copy of a house purchase contract, but the contents of the contract have nothing to do with the old man's house. The location is in another city. I have been to this city, and there was a house in this city before.
The contract was obviously processed later, and many key parts were covered during copying. After a few glances, I couldn't see anything special. When I finally turned to the signatory, I was stunned. The signatory of the homebuyer was also masked, but the name of the seller remained.
I looked at the old man, and he was looking at me.
I don't know what my expression looks like, I guess it's not much better, because I'm too familiar with the name on the contract, it's Yuan Zhen. I handed the contract to Qin Yiheng and asked the old man what it meant. To be honest, I have tried my best to restrain my emotions, but my voice is still a little trembling.
The old man took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You worked hard before, and you won't suffer in vain. If you are interested, then the house on the contract is yours."
Qin Yiheng didn't express his opinion, and I couldn't refuse immediately, but I had already made up my mind that I would never touch this house no matter what.
The old man's intentions are obvious, and most likely he asked us to go mine detection.
However, Qin Yiheng actually gave me a wink after reviewing the contract. Seeing what he meant, he seemed to be tempted. I want to persuade him, but it's not easy to open my mouth in front of the old man. Fortunately, the old man said he needed to go to the bathroom and opened the door to go out, so I had a chance to discuss it with him. Qin Yiheng said: "We still need to take a look at this house. It is the same as the old man's previous house. Although we can't figure out the purpose of the old man, we are not without gains."
Although what he said was reasonable, I still objected. In my impression, this may be the first time I have refused so firmly. After going through so much, I am really tired. I said that the money is almost earned, and the thing about the coffin board is not necessarily true. Even if it is true, I would rather use these few years to enjoy life.
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say this to Qin Yiheng. After all, I do owe him a lot, and now that I quit, it really hurts his feelings a little.
Seeing that I refused, he didn't say much, just nodded.
After the old man came back, he wrote down the exact address of the house, told the old man that we would go back and discuss it, and then bid farewell to the old man.
The old man didn't mean to see us off either. If you say send us off, you can barely see him off.
After leaving the teahouse, I just want to go back and have a good sleep. To be honest, I don't know what's wrong with me. It's probably because my nerves have been stretched for a long time and I'm already overwhelmed. I suddenly felt that many things were irrelevant.
It's a bit like you've been running a marathon, and at a certain point, you suddenly don't want to go to the finish line, and you don't care how bad the race is or how many people pass you.
On the drive back, I asked Qin Yiheng why we only asked a few questions and we didn't get any information except for one well.
He said, asking is useless, if we want the old man to speak, we must have the chips he wants to exchange. And when we talked, all the cards were shown, but the old man was not interested at all.
I asked Qin Yiheng again what happened to the well. He talked about it on the way to drive me back, saying that this well has been a very important part of people's life since ancient times. Because after all, not all people's homes are close to the river, and if they want to drink water, they must dig a well. Many big families have their own wells, and for ordinary people, dozens of households share one well.
Because of the importance of wells, there have been many sayings about wells since ancient times. First of all, this well is drilled downwards. Many people think that ghosts and snake gods in the underworld can climb out of the well to harm the world. This is why when the plague broke out in ancient times, many people mistakenly think it is the well water. This will seal the well.
Moreover, according to folk customs in some places, when there is no need to fetch water, the well rope should be placed outside the well instead of hanging in the well all the time.
I believe that many people will have heard in stories or rumors that there will always be some people who choose to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the well, or fall into the well to die innocently. In the so-called superstition, this is called filling in the gap, which is actually similar to the water ghost looking for a substitute, except that the gap filled is not the filth in the well water looking for a substitute, but the gap in the balance of yin and yang. To explain it simply, it's a bit like the mouth of the well has a certain suction for the soul, so many people with extremely low luck or suicidal thoughts will always rush there in a strange way.
Because of this, people will have a little awe of the well, so there are some objects hanging in the wells in many areas. These objects are not used to ward off evil spirits, they are generally a villain kneeling down or bowing, but it is not ruled out that they can be replaced by other things. Later, with the improvement of living standards, many places no longer drink well water, and this "gong" needs to be put in by people who know how to do it, so, except for some old people, not many people know about it.
Whether this "gong" has any effect, Qin Yiheng said that he doesn't know, but "gong" has another use in alchemy. According to legend, take out the "Gong" from the well that has withered and hang it on the saddle, so that when you walk at night, you will not be shouted or teased by little ghosts. Because of this, he was lucky enough to see one in person earlier. The Christine he saw was not good-looking, in his words, he looked a bit like a deformed Ronaldo.
Moreover, many wells that are about to dry up are the easiest to swallow. Many wells seem to have clear water quality and sufficient water volume, but they will dry up without warning, and the only thing that can be noticed is that they will definitely hurt a few lives before they dry up. It is said that people of the older generation know this.
Qin Yiheng said so much, but frankly speaking, I didn't listen to much. It has become a habit for me to ask questions.
I thought about it, if according to what he said, the old man hid a well in his house, could it be that he hid the corpse? That's why there is yin qi dispersing inside? Or do you really want to lure something out of the underworld? If that's the case, it's fucking big.
