Chapter 73: Catching Ghosts (I)
A new day began, Li Boyu punched twice in the yard, wiped his face with cold water, and went out refreshed. Walking out of the door, I inadvertently saw two people curled up in the corner. Looking at the clothes, it looks a little familiar.
"You two, what are you doing?"
"Master Lee."
It turned out that Qin Bao and Qin Xiaomei were curled up there, with heavy dark circles under their eyes, and it seemed that they didn't sleep well last night.
"What's going on with you two? Is it not suitable to live in the wing room of the Imperial City Division? β
Qin Bao wiped his sweat and smiled: "That's not it, it's the best house our brothers and sisters have ever lived in, but it can't be inhabited." β
Li Boyu changed his posture and asked patiently: "Tell me, why can't you live in people?" β
"My lord, it's haunted at nightβhaunted."
"What?"
It's just nonsense, Li Boyu jumped up, and he almost slapped Qin Bao.
Qin Xiaomei yawned and came over and said, "Lord Li, what my brother said is the truth, I didn't believe it at first, I thought it was some kind of gangster." After the ghost appeared for the second time, I saw it with my own eyes and realized that there was really a ghost. β
"Didn't you rush up and hit it, then?"
"Then how dare I."
Seeing the timidity on Qin Xiaomei's face, Li Bo said in his heart that this is very rare, if it is an ordinary woman, she will definitely be scared to death.
"Master Li, if you are willing to continue to take us in, then we want to borrow two money from you and find another place to live. Otherwise, we'd rather wander the rivers and lakes than live there. β
"Look, you two are still walking the rivers and lakes, how can you still believe that there are ghosts in the world?"
Qin Bao's face was embarrassed: "We didn't believe it before, but we saw it with our own eyes last night, so we had to believe it." β
Qin Bao recounted the haunting incident last night in detail. The two of them didn't seem to be lying, they must have seen a female ghost with a long tongue and a disheveled head. The two men were frightened, otherwise they wouldn't have run to the base of their house in the middle of the night to squat. And Li Boyu can be sure that this female ghost must be a human pretend.
"Okay, you two go with me to the Imperial City Division first, and tonight Lord Ben will personally catch the ghost in front of you and let you see."
Qin Bao looked at his sister-in-law, the two of them carried the burden, and followed Li Boyu back to the Imperial City Division. Before entering the door, Li Boyu whispered to the two of them: "This matter has not been figured out, don't tell outsiders first, so as not to cause panic." β
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Remember one thing, gods and demons fear the wicked."
"That is, with your support, we are much more relieved."
The men in the courtyard came to salute when they saw that they were coming. Li Boyu waved his hand, asked them to stand back, and turned back to look at Qin Xiaomei, which means that it is your turn to play.
Qin Xiaomei understands in her heart, don't look at it as a girl's family, her mental quality is much stronger than that of his brother Qin Bao. Qin Bao didn't care what he said, but when he entered the Imperial City Division, he was like a frosted eggplant, squatting in the corner of the wall.
Qin Xiaomei's waist straightened, and she suddenly became heroic, she came to the crowd, glanced around, and said:
"Yesterday, Master Li asked me to be your martial arts instructor. Today is the first day, so let me take a look at your basic skills. β
The crowd burst into laughter, and Wang Dazui laughed very loudly: "That little lady of the Qin family, I'm not laughing at the wise decision made by our adults, I'm laughing at you." Those of us who have been crawling in the sea of people for many years, who doesn't know how to order the kung fu of a three-legged cat. Of course, it's no better than us. As for climbing over the wall and going to the house to uncover the tiles, those are all pediatrics. Therefore, you don't need to examine the basic skills. β
Everyone was smiling again, and no one took Qin Xiaomei seriously.
Li Boyu returned to the room, glanced at the window and closed it. This group of thugs, one or two of them are not cleaned up, and he is still very confident in Qin Xiaomei.
Soon, there was a wailing sound in the courtyard, and without looking, you could know that some people were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces. Including Wang Dazui, rotten eye circles and toad eyes, because the three of them screamed the worst.
Li Boyu was very happy in his heart, he took two idle books and flipped through them, but without reading a word, he threw them on the table.
"Go get the rotten circles."
"Yes, master."
Looking up at the pockmarked face left by Luan Gou, this guy came secretly again, and asked, the other three must have come.
"Master, I'm not thinking about combining work and rest, yesterday the two junior uncles studied hard for a day, and today-"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, you call the rotten eye circles."
After a while, the rotten circles came nervously, and seeing the bruises on his forehead and the bloody marks on the corners of his mouth, he knew that he had also tasted the taste of chili peppers.
"Big-man, I just want to learn martial arts with her, but this little lady's hands are too dark, and this slap almost knocked out my front teeth."
After stumbling over the rotten circles, Li Boyu wanted to laugh when he saw this person. This guy used to be very happy, but now that his face is injured, he is even more happy. In fact, I called him over to see what he was beaten up into.
"Rotten eye circles, from today onwards, Luan Gouyu will teach you how to speak, please be sure to get rid of the problem of stumbling."
"Yes."
Luan Gouyu looked surprised: "Master, you let me teach him?" β
"yes, what's the problem?"
"No, the apprentice will definitely live up to your expectations."
The rest of the time, Li Boyu just threw his legs on the table and sat until it got dark. According to Qin Bao, the room where the ghost entered last night was where he worked. He looked closely, but found nothing missing, for there was nothing of value here.
Tonight, he will personally guard here, see people beating people, and fight ghosts.
β¦β¦
Finally, after getting dark, he sent everyone away, and when the lights were extinguished, Li Boyu sat on a chair and chose the most comfortable sitting position. Everything is ready, just wait for the pretending to be a ghost.
When it was late at night, there was still no movement. Maybe he was a passing thief last night, and he saw that there was nothing worthless to steal, and probably he wouldn't come tonight.
The brother and sister hid in the wing, and they didn't know what was going on. At this time, the door rang, and Li Boyu's heart moved. Immediately after poking in a head, Li Boyu just wanted to start, but when he saw that it was Qin Bao, it was called a discouragement.
"My lord, we're worried about you, so you're fine."
"You find a place to hide, don't alarm the ghost, it won't dare to come."
"I think so too, if you don't come out and hide outside, I'm afraid that the ghost will not dare to come if he notices that there is someone in the room."
Li Boyu pondered it, and it made sense. He quietly went out, the cat entered the west wing, and the Qin brothers and sisters hid next door. As the night wore on, Li Bo kept dozing, hoping that the ghost would appear soon.
From time to time, there was the sound of the wind blowing through the branches, and there was no other sound. He snickered in his heart that this Qin brother and sister were so timid, and they were still people who walked the rivers and lakes, and they were actually frightened by the tricks of a certain Jianghu thief.
He decided to wait a little longer, and if there was no movement, he would go home and go to sleep.
