I was full of excitement again, and immediately tentatively raised my head and asked Qiu Ye, "You just ...... What do you want to do with a lantern under our feet when you are outside the door? ”

"Hey, that's looking at your shadows...... Qiu Ye leaned back on the rocking chair again, and continued slowly: "The old man in your family should have also mentioned to you, living people and ghosts, first of all, you can tell by looking at the shadows." ”

The old Zhang behind me said: "So you saw that we were shadows, so you were sure that we were people, and this led us into the house, right?" ”

I glared back at Lao Zhang and signaled him not to answer nonsense at this time.

Lao Zhang frowned at me, I squeezed my eyebrows and motioned him to look at the old man's feet, but unfortunately the old man had leaned back on the rocking chair at this time, and whether there was a shadow or not was there on the ground.

"Is there only a shadow of the living?" I knew I was offended, but because of my personality, I couldn't care about it, so I blurted out a question.

"Not necessarily...... Some of the living have no shadows. He suddenly stretched out his hand very cooperatively to reach the thermos cup on the coffee table next to him, as if he wanted to deliberately show us whether there was a shadow when his hand stretched out.

We looked in that direction with wide eyes, and we both looked up at the light in a daze, reconfirming the source of the light to calculate the approximate direction in which the projection should appear.

He......

There really is no shadow!

I asked, "You don't have a shadow of your own?" "To be honest, I'm not afraid of him now, because I've tested his snort, felt his temperature, and woken him up by pinching him.

Lao Zhang Ke couldn't stand this dish anymore, and slipped to the door again, posing that he might be about to open the door and run out.

"Don't open the door!" I drank him at the same time as Qiu Ye.

Qiu Ye looked at Lao Zhang and then at me, motioned for us to sit down, and said, "Don't be afraid, I actually have a shadow, and the living have a shadow, but my shadow is relatively light." ”

When I was a child, I also heard a girl at the same table say that the shadow is the soul of a person, and the heavier the yang energy, the darker the shadow, and the weaker the shadow, on the contrary, the lighter the shadow, she pointed at me at the time and said, "Well, it's your kind of ...... The soul is faint.

Then the old man lifted the lantern on the square table again, and shone it on himself, and this time we finally saw a faint shadow. Yes, it is, and it is indeed lighter.

At this time, Lao Zhang sat down more reassuringly.

We both confirmed that the other was harmless, and only then did we really take off our guards. I asked Qiu Ye, "Qiu Ye, what should I do now?" ”

Qiu Ye didn't answer and asked: "Don't worry, let me ask you first, I really remember you kid, I came during the day, didn't I remind you not to come again?" Why did you come running again at night, don't you want to die? ”

I leaned over, lowered my voice and said, "No way, 2-04, that one ordered takeout again......"

Qiu Ye said solemnly: "I told you that there is no one in that house, and the female tenant died seven days ago." ”

I was speechless.

Lao Zhang took over the conversation, pointed to the paper piercing man in front of him and said, "My uncle Ma said that this can protect us well." ”

Qiu Ye waved his hand, disgusted and didn't want to look at the paper figure anymore, and said, "Hehe, if that thing can protect you, won't you be able to get out of the Soul Ladder?" ”

He sighed again, and said, "I heard movement in the stairwell, and I have already gone out to see you, and when I saw you earlier, I walked down to the staircase, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, and walked for at least an hour." ”

"Then why didn't we see your old man?" I paused and said, "Yes, it's too dark in the stairwell to see anything...... and I think there are still mysteries unsolved, and if we can't see him, why can he see us?

Qiu Ye said: "I know what you are thinking in your hearts, and it is not because of this lantern. With it shining on me, I can see what this staircase really looks like. And at that time, alas, you should have been in the devil's way. ”

I think it's true, if we hadn't on each of us, we wouldn't have been able to get rid of this fog.

Qiu Ye looked at us for a while, looked at his watch again, and said, "I don't think you will be able to leave for a while, or why don't I tell you about this first?" ”

Lao Zhang is very interested, I'm afraid it's him, and it's also him, and it's also him.

I was always concerned about this takeaway, and quickly asked, "Is the story long?" After all, we still want to finish delivering takeout...... Go back early. "I can't have anything in my heart, I can't sit still if I don't finish something.

"I'll open the door for you now, do you dare to go over?" Qiu Ye said: "As the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." You don't even know what's going on with this house, and if you break into it stupidly, aren't you dying in vain? ”

"What's more," Qiu Ye suddenly said in an aggravated tone, "Now there is another girl who has died......"

"Well, you say...... We're listening. "I was completely distracted by his words.

"Do you know where this building came from?" Qiu Ye asked.

"Now we all know that this is the old dormitory of the hosiery factory in the Passion Era, it should have been abandoned for a long time before, and it is said that it was a turbulent period before, the mansion of a certain small warlord Lin Deputy Marshal Lin?" Lao Zhang's ability to learn and sell is first-class in the end. It's no wonder that when we chat on weekdays, we don't show the feeling of knowing half of the things in the sky and everything on the earth.

Qiu Ye nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then said, "Then do you know why this building was abandoned later?" ”

The topic was beyond our knowledge again, and we both shook our heads.

Qiu Ye didn't think we could answer, and said: "To be exact, at that time, the world was turbulent, wars were raging, and the warlords all the way to this place at that time arrived here, and the deputy marshal surnamed Lin was upright and prime, and he was full of spirit. Although he is only the number two person of a small warlord all the way, his luck and ability are also top-grade characters, so when he came here, there were a lot of guns, women and silver. ”

"He actually has three mansions in the city. This is his biggest place. Several of his favorite aunts and wives lived here in the first place. ”

We were fascinated by the story of Qiu Ye and listened intently.

"In that unreasonable era, women, sometimes it's really very pitiful," Qiu Ye sighed, "Many people are displaced and uprooted from their homes in the war, at this time, especially women, most of them have no ability to protect themselves, the kind of beautiful looks may be snatched by warlord leaders like Vice Marshal Lin to be the wife of an aunt, and those who have a worse life are sold into the kiln, alas, it is even more miserable...... Among them, whether it is a small jasper, or a village girl with a pure nature, as long as she is forced to enter this Houmen, after a few months, she is used to eating fat, rubbing incense, and wearing silk, and many of them have changed their temperament. ”

"Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and the ninth aunt who was offered to him by his subordinates that year was an exception. Aunt Jiu's father was a man in the former Qing Dynasty, and she can be described as a scholarly family, but unfortunately she was born at the wrong time, and her family was destroyed by the war. She fled to the people, and was snatched back by the people under Deputy Marshal Lin, and dedicated to the Deputy Marshal to invite merit. ”

"Vice Marshal Lin can be counted as a handsome and upright person, not to mention a powerful gun. What's more, everyone loved this at that time, so there were never too many aunts who snatched it back, so even if there were already eight rooms in front, they still coveted her beauty and accepted this girl as the ninth aunt. ”

"This ninth aunt is a fierce person...... She was the only one who was put a gun to her head by Vice Marshal Lin, and would rather die than obey. A woman with this kind of temperament, even Vice Marshal Lin, who has read countless women, is rare in her life, so, just like in many secular stories, Vice Marshal Lin spared her for the time being, and decided to take her time to influence her with true feelings. ”

That's it, gradually getting along, let's not talk about all kinds of twists and turns, just like many happy enemies, after the two gradually got acquainted, they finally got better. Since then, Vice Marshal Lin has loved this ninth aunt too much, and gradually neglected other aunts. And so the tragedy began......"
