"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is one of Qin Shiou's favorite novels, and when he came to Canada three years ago, he was worried that he would have no entertainment, so he downloaded the e-book of this novel.

In this way, it comes in handy tonight, but it's a bit of a shame that this book should belong to the adventure and surprise genre, not the horror genre.

Qin Shiou spoke in a subdued tone, and the fishermen listened quietly, occasionally cooperating with an exclamation, everything was perfect.

But when Qin Shiou talked about what he thought was the most exciting place, that is, when Hu Bayi and Wang Fatzi were preparing to go down to the tomb to explore, the fishermen didn't listen, they shook their heads one after another, and said in disappointment: "Is this guy a tomb robber?" ”

Qin Shiou said: "Yes, but it's not just as simple as robbing tombs, he has to do a lot of interesting things." ”

Shaq said: "Forget it, tomb robbing is a despicable thing, and I don't think it is appropriate for a person to rob a tomb for any reason. How can we disturb the sleep of the dead, Schitt, can we? ”

This is surprising in both Chinese and Western cultures, Canadians have a lot of respect for the dead and are generally not very afraid, so some residential areas are built near cemeteries, which they consider to be the closest place to heaven for people.

Thus, for Canadians, fear is not the factor that prevents them from robbing graves, but reverence, grave robbers are very despised, and most of the people who do this work are addicts, the lowest people in society.

Qin Shiou didn't want to discuss the value and significance of tomb robbing, so he had to respect the values of Sha Ke and others. It's just that he was still unconvinced in some places, and said: "What about archaeology? Isn't archaeology also tomb robbing? ”

The cigarette gun spit out his eyes disdainfully and said, "There is archaeology in Canada?" This country has a history of. ”

Qin Shiou thought about it and found that he was speechless.

"If you say a scary, short ghost story, it's better not to say that you can guess the end at the beginning." Shaq said.

Qin Shiou shrugged. "Well, I have a classic ghost story from my hometown -- I saw a female ghost that night, and she farted and then collapsed herself. ”

Silent for a moment, the fishermen watched him silently, except for the coffee on the wood stove 'cooing'.

Winnie came over and asked, "Hi." What kind of ghost story are you telling? Isn't it scary? Didn't anyone speak? ”

The fishermen lowered their heads silently, they really couldn't complain about the story told by Qin Shiou.

Qin Daguan is really powerless to complain about their ability to understand, what a classic ghost story, this is one of the most widely circulated jokes on the domestic Internet.

Shaq kicked the Kraken and told him to tell one.

The sea monster gasped for breath and said, "It was in an opera house in New York, and for a while, strange things happened frequently, and the original lead actress was almost stoned to death. There is a creepy illusory ...... in the theater"

"Illusory, sister, isn't this the Phantom of the Opera? Do you count Paris for New York as a new story? And what kind of ghost story is this? Nelson interrupted him and said unhappily.

The bull next to him wiped his sweat and said, "Shet, I'm scared to death, I just said how does this story sound so familiar?" ”

The living room was silent again, and this time everyone looked at the bull, and Winnie covered her mouth and snickered.

The evening event was a failure because of the cultural differences. Qin Shiou thought he was relatively timid, but he had no fear of the ghosts and vampires that the fishermen said.

The same is true of the ghost stories that the fishermen tell him. Chinese ghost stories are mysterious, unknown as the selling point, some stories do not appear in the whole story, but the period of occurrence is beyond human solution.

The fishermen can't understand it, they don't understand that there are no ghosts in the story, so what's there to be afraid of? As for the things that can't be done by manpower? Maybe God did it?

In this way, what was supposed to be a night of horror stories became a night of provocativeness, where one person tells a ghost story and the others pick and choose what makes no sense in it. The atmosphere was hot.

When it was time to go to bed, Qin Shiou sent the fishermen away, and Winnie had already gone upstairs first, so he himself cleaned the beer cans, cigarette butts, cigarette ashes, and coffee stains on the floor.

Shirley went to the kitchen to find something to drink, and when she saw Qin Shiou cleaning, she came up to help.

Qin Shiou swept the garbage together and asked Shirley to help him get the mop. After a few calls, Shirley didn't respond, and he looked up strangely to see Shirley looking at the kitchen in confusion.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Qin Shiou asked with a smile.

Shirley's face was full of questions, and she said, "Qin, who came to play just now?" Do they have small children? How can there be two little boys in the corner of the kitchen. ”

Qin Shiou looked at the kitchen, there was nothing in the black hole, and it was cloudy outside, so he couldn't see anything clearly.

"What's the little boy? Come on, Shirley, I know what you're trying to do, you want to scare me, right? Qin Shiou laughed.

Shirley took his hand and said anxiously: "Really, Qin, I didn't scare you, can't you see?" There are two little boys there? One has yellow hair and the other has black hair, so I thought someone had brought the tourist's children to play. ”

Seeing that Shirley was serious, Qin Shiou trembled a little in his heart, and he said firmly: "No, no, Shirley, there is no one inside!" ”

Shirley pointed to the corner of the kitchen and said, "Obviously, there is, just there looking down on us!" I swear, Qin, if there are no children there, you can kick me out to the school boarding! ”

Qin Shiou knew that this was a very heavy oath for Shirley, much more serious than swearing to God.

So his scalp is a little numb, isn't it, is there really something in the kitchen?

He swallowed his saliva, put his arm on Shirley's shoulder, and said seriously, "You saw two children in the corner?" ”

Shirley nodded vigorously and asked in a panic, "You can't see it?" ”

Qin Shiou hurriedly took out his mobile phone, unlucky, he used his mobile phone to illuminate everything just now, and it was already out of power, he forced it to start, the mobile phone flashed after it was turned on, and then the screen turned black again.

"Damn the chain!" Qin Shiou scolded, he turned around and saw the tiger and the leopard, thinking of the legend in his hometown that dogs can see ghosts with their eyes, and immediately pulled them over.

The tiger and the leopard looked at him cutely, jumping up and down to have fun, Qin Shiou had no choice but to slap them away, and scolded again: "Damn, you guys also drop the chain!" ”

A light suddenly lit up, Qin Shiou was startled, and looked back to see that it was Shirley who turned on her mobile phone light.

"Look, are there two kids there? Two boys, one with yellow hair and one with black hair? Shirley said panickedly as she shone her mobile phone light into the corner.

Qin Shiou had the courage to follow Shirley's instructions to look, and then saw that there were really two children, one with yellow hair and one with black hair, but it was attached to the refrigerator door, and there was a line of letters above the heads of the other two children: Haier......
