I thought I was dazzled, rubbed my eyes twice, this bracelet is very similar to my father's, this bracelet is when my father followed my grandfather to the south to receive the goods, received a feminine object - ghost jade, this ghost jade is a very rare thing, my grandfather personally made a bracelet, unique in this world......

This is a gift from Lao Wang, and he doesn't know what it is, so he thinks it should be pretty good, so he takes it as a thank you gift...... Thing...... What's wrong? Liu Maozi thought that I had fallen in love with this hand, so after speaking, he pulled the handpiece down and stuffed it into my hand.

"Seventh, if you like it, I'll give it to you, anyway, this thing is a thank you gift, and I should give it to you......"

I didn't shirk it, I took it and observed it carefully, and confirmed that it was really my father's hand, not to mention anything else, the internal test of the largest piece of ghost jade in this hand, carved two words: Tang Jin.

"This is my father's name, why is my father's stuff with him? My dad died strangely, does he know anything?! I grabbed Liu Maozi's wrist with my backhand, and my breathing gradually became unstable, and I actually ...... Let me find the clue.

"Old Seven, don't get excited! He's the one who received the goods, what can he know, why don't you ask him then? "Liu Maozi probably saw me so excited for the first time, and he was a little scared.

"Uncle Liu, I took over this business, but you can't stop me when I investigate my father's affairs!" I adjusted my breathing and turned back to Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu immediately smiled happily, and hurriedly nodded in agreement:

"Of course, of course! As long as you're willing to take the job! ”

……

I went back to prepare, and lived in Liu's shop with Liu Maozi, which also saved me from alarming Liu's mother, Liu's mother is old, and she tossed it last time, although she said that it was nothing, but it could be seen that her spirit was not as good as some time ago.

I brought a big bundle of red string and small bells from home, don't underestimate this little bell, my father said, this little bell is called the soul bell, wear it on the red rope, tie it to the house, as long as you take something to alarm the soul bell, the soul bell will make a sound that makes the thing lose its sense of orientation and action.

I worked with Liu Maozi to soak this large bundle of red string in wick oil, and then put on the soul bell one by one, I didn't think this work was cumbersome because I often helped my father when I was a child, but Liu Maozi, a straight man, couldn't stand it.

"Old Seven, what are you doing, it's full of hand oil, and the smoked brain hurts, and look at this bell, the hole on it is so small, my eyes are almost useless......" Liu Maozi shook his hand and frowned and complained.

"Look at this little bell is inconspicuous, this is something that can save your life tonight, wear it, hurry up and finish it, let's arrange it." I turned my head to look at the lute, how terrible it looked.

Forget it, in order to find clues about my father, I have to bite the bullet!

It's the smell of lamp oil, it's really rushing!

"Old Seven, what do you say is going on with this pipa? Do you have eyebrows? Liu Maozi listened to my words, quickly picked up the red rope and began to squint and wear it.

"I don't have an idea, but I listened to Uncle Liu's story, saying that Lao Wang's mother-in-law played the pipa naked in the middle of the night, and there was a red rope on her feet, I guess the owner of this pipa should be a Qinglou woman......"

"It's a prostitute! What kind of resentment do you say a prostitute can have...... Still harmful? Liu Maozi interjected.

"Qinglou and brothels are different, the high-end Qinglou cultivated Oiran can be said to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all kinds of talented women, and the art is not sold body, at that time there is an unwritten rule in the Qinglou, when the Qinglou cultivated women can hang out of the banner and take charge of the side, they will give her a musical instrument that belongs to her, this pipa should be.

In the thirty-first year of Guangxu, in 1905, there was chaos at that time, but at that time, the Qinglou was still relatively formal, and the women in the Qinglou were still mainly performers, but at the beginning of the Republic of China, the Qinglou gradually degenerated into a brothel, and it seemed that the woman was forced to become a prostitute in a few years...... "I slowly said my conjecture.

"Then I heard you say that this woman is quite pitiful, the thinking of a woman who was a little learned in that era was different from that of ordinary women, and if you experience this kind of ups and downs, it is estimated that it is possible to hang your neck." Liu Maozi clicked his lips, looking quite sorry.

"Not necessarily, some people will look down on some things when they have knowledge, maybe there is a deeper secret......"

As I spoke, a large bundle of red ropes and soul bells were put on, and I beckoned Liu Maozi to sprinkle flour on the ground, because I wasn't sure if this yin thing would get on Liu Maozi's body, and if not, I would make preparations to determine its location.

Then we hung the red rope in the room, this is not casually hung, my father taught me a mantra, some can't remember clearly, but I probably remember how to hang, my father said this is called please enter the urn, come in don't want to go out, but I don't know why, I always feel that something has fallen.

Looking at the red ropes in the room, I don't feel that there is something wrong with it......

"Old Seven, why are these bells dumbbells!" Liu Maozi asked as he worked.

"It's called the Soul Bell, it only rings when that thing touches it, and if you touch it and it rings, you have to think about what you are." I'm also patiently doing popular science.

"That's amazing! What do you need me to do at that moment? What kind of magic weapons do you need to prepare? Show me both hands! Liu Maozi asked with interest.

"No, we don't know anything about the owner of this thing now, and we don't know how to deal with her, this time it's mainly to see how fierce she is, and see if we can understand something." I have a headache when I talk about it, I was reckless last time, but I have to be careful this time.

"You're right! So what do I do? Liu Maozi seems to have had the experience of the last time and is very confident in this time.

"You strip naked, tie this red rope, and lie down on the bed and wait." I saw that the time was almost up, so I handed the prepared red rope to Liu Maozi.

This is not simple with the red rope, this is a feminine thing that my father once solved, that is, a prostitute of the Republic of China, there is a grudge on it, so I think the owner of this pipa should empathize with it when he sees this, and he will not hurt Liu Maozi, maybe he can know something we want to know.

"No...... No...... Old Seven, I didn't mean to be in Bajialing last time, I was also controlled! Liu Maozi looked embarrassed, grabbed my hand and shook it.

"Huh?" I didn't react for a while, what did this grandson say?

"We're both men, so it's not appropriate to ......" Liu Maozi paused, then sighed, as if resigned to his fate.

"Old Seven, even if you have any thoughts about me, don't do it today!"
