Chapter 141: The Tribulation of Foshan (7)
"Thank you. ”
"It's nothing, if you want to thank me, just don't charge me for the room. ”
"Hey, that's not going to work. Juanya's sad face finally showed a faint smile.
At night, like a pale blue curtain covering Foshan Town, the streets are like a river as flat as a mirror, meandering in the dense shadows of the trees, only those leaves rustling due to the cold wind seem to recall the excitement and tranquility of the day. This is the characteristic of the cold winter, the sky is bright, and the ground is dark, as if the cold air has blocked the light. Except for the cold wind blowing gently, except for the occasional dog barking or two, the deserted streets were silent.
Qiu Yan couldn't help but feel melancholy, he had been in Foshan Town for two days, and before he started the investigation, he was entangled in the family's terrible trivial matters, and there was no way to find an opportunity to ask about Li Mu from this mess.
"That man's name is Mu Qi, the eldest grandson of the Mu family, the Mu family is a big family, powerful, and more than half of the families in our town depend on their family to survive, so even if his family is rampant and bullies us like dogs, there are still not many people who dare to resist. My sister was so stupid, she knew that the beast was just playing with her, but she just couldn't get to her senses. ”
Most of the worshippers were afraid of the so-called ghosts asking for their lives, so they made excuses and left in a hurry, and the mourning hall suddenly became empty, and in the end, only Juanya and Qiu Yan were left. She sighed and looked at the ceiling in wistful disgust. "Actually, why shouldn't I? Fireflies and moths to the fire, knowing that they will be injured, but they don't hesitate to pounce, but at least I won't be as stupid as my sister to die for that kind of person. ”
Qiu Yan smiled bitterly, and the shadow of Hu Tiansheng unnaturally appeared in his mind, and he was stunned for a moment. "The people in your family seem to have a good temperament. ”
"Do you believe it or not? My sister is the best for me in this family, no matter what she has, she will leave the best for me, whether it is food or clothes, I remember that when it snowed that year, I was lost in the mountains, and the rescue team organized by the town refused to go up the mountain to rescue because the wind and snow were too big, my sister was almost crazy, she begged for a long time, and finally she braved the night to go to the mountains to find me, and almost lost her life, my sister was so stupid, in fact, where was I lost, just to gamble with her again.." Juanya stared blankly ahead, a sweet smile bloomed on her tear-stained face, and suddenly, as if remembering something, her face changed, she became full of anger, and she said loudly and nervously. "But when that man appeared, my sister changed, that man, that brute! she must have killed my sister, that kind of playboy. He must not die well!"
"Calm down!" Qiu Yan held her shoulders and was about to relieve her, when she suddenly heard a 'click' sound from the spiritual platform.
Well, what is the sound? Qiu Yan looked in the direction of the spiritual platform, and walked over cautiously, only to see Hu Xinrui's right hand hanging down from the spiritual platform, swaying vigorously by gravity.
"What's wrong?" asked Juanya, in a hoarse voice crying.
"It's nothing, it may be that the man touched the corpse just now, and her hand was not steady, and she just hung down from the altar. Qiu Yan carefully picked up Hu Xinrui's right hand with three fingers and was about to place it first, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he grabbed the right hand and put it in front of him to think about it carefully.
"Strange, come and see. Qiu Yan beckoned to Juanya, pointed to the white jade bracelet on the corpse's right hand, and wondered. "When I saw this corpse yesterday, this white jade bracelet was obviously worn on the left wrist, why is it now worn on the right wrist?"
"What did you say?" Juanya's face turned pale suddenly, she trembled and grabbed Qiu Yan's elbow, trembling her lips and asked loudly. "You said my sister's white jade bracelet is on her left hand, are you sure you read that right?"
Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment, and said with a straight face. "I have only one thing to do as a person, that is, I have a strong memory and observational skills. ”
"Damn! that damn guy!" At that moment, Qiu Yan felt that Juanya's beautiful face was full of hideousness, and her eyes flashed with a hint of anger. She grabbed Qiu Yan's arm hard, getting tighter and tighter, and finally shook it off and turned around and ran towards the inner hall.
Qiu Yan scratched her head, she couldn't help but think of Chen Yao's gentleness and grace, Xiao Li's straightforwardness, and looked around, this mourning hall was originally the hall of the hotel, which was very large, but now there are only a few flickering spiritual lamps, which are indescribably eerie, and suddenly feel that there is only one person left in this dim and huge space, and in his own hand, he is still holding Hu Xinrui's swollen arm that was blistered by the river...
Qiu Yan shuddered suddenly, returned his arm to its original owner, casually wiped his hand on the white covercloth, and then bowed slightly and took a deep breath, shouting loudly. "Hey, wait for me. After the call, he hurriedly chased after Juanya's figure and left.
I walked through the inner hall and the room used by the Hu family to the end, and I saw a glimmer of light.
Juanya stiffened and stood in front of the basement door. "Bed!" she said, her eyes turning inward, repeating the word over and over again.
"What bed?" Qiu Yan was surprised when he squeezed over to look inside the room.
In this large guest room of about 30 square meters, everything has been emptied, only a single bed is placed in the far right corner of the room, which looks very weird, and this bed is actually placed diagonally, this situation is exactly the same as Li Mu and Hu Tiansheng's home.
"The bed is against the door again?" Qiu Yan muttered to himself.
Juanya came back to her senses and looked at Qiu Yan in surprise. "You also know the legend of the Ghost Gate?"
"What the hell?" Qiu Yan frowned.
"By the way, you are an outsider, how can you know the legend of our town. ”
"What legend? Does it have to do with the placement of the bed?"
Qiu Yan was inexplicably excited, Li Mu and Hu Tiansheng had been in Foshan Town, and the other was originally a person from Foshan Town, if there were really that kind of related customs and legends, then they would put the bed in a strange position, it was not for nothing, and if you followed the reason, you might be able to find the important information that Li Mu hid, and even the eyes of the Oriental people, the origin of the ancient jade and the tasks assigned by Liang Yali, etc.
Between breaths, Qiu Yan felt that the answer would be so close to him, as if it was within reach.
