【008】 Revisit the old place

The cousin said that Xu Qian was not here, so she must have gone out in the car just now. Zhong Kui thought to himself, didn't see Xiao Ming beside him, and was so cold that he shrank his neck.

Upon entering the hallway, Zhong Kui found that the atmosphere here was much lower than before. It was sparsely populated, too quiet, and not a single waiter could be seen except for a lifeless pot of greenery in the hallway.

When they came to a door marked with a conference room, my cousin stopped, opened the door with the key, pushed it open, and said to them, "You can wait for me here for a while, and I will come as soon as I go." ”

Zhong Kui thought that this cousin wouldn't dare to do anything to them, so he walked in with a big grin. Xiao Ming behind him looked around, his expression still maintaining a high degree of nervous vigilance.

The cousin left, pulling the door through and slamming it shut.

Xiao Ming's expression tightened, and he hurriedly reached out to pull the door to see if he was locked in the house. Looking at his neurotic actions, Zhong Kui smiled silently, he knew that Xiao Ming had a slight persecution paranoia. His mother whispered about it, and it was said that he was withdrawn at school for this reason.

Xiao Ming opened the door and repeated the 'click' to close it again, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. In the empty conference room, a long conference table is placed, and around the conference table, a circle of chairs and wooden benches are placed in order.

Seeing the master sitting on the wooden bench, Xiao Ming whispered, "Master......"

"It's okay, come and sit for a while, don't be afraid, I'm here for the third time." Zhong Kui dragged the 'squeak' sound of the wooden bench, slapped the wooden stool casually and said to Xiao Ming.

"Oh! I think it's so cold here. Xiao Ming hugged his elbows and sat down with a solemn expression. His eyes scanned the surroundings and saw the dark purple silk curtains on the floor. Snow-white walls, a lamp with a lot of glass beads hanging on it.

"Yes, there's a lot of things you can't see here, so it's cold."

Xiao Ming knew what the master said about the invisible things, so he didn't ask directly, but changed the topic and asked, "Master, why did he let us go just now?" ”

"Well, that's because he has something on his mind, irritable!" Zhong Kui changed his sitting position, raised his right leg and pressed it on his left leg, and cocked Erlang's leg at will.

After looking around, he felt nothing unusual, Xiao Ming continued the topic just now and asked, "Then why did you leave us behind?" ”

Zhong Kui felt that the child had a lot of problems, and pursed his lips a little impatiently, and said in a disapproving tone: "Maybe, their family has really encountered something difficult." They need our help, so they hesitate to leave ours. ”

Just as the two masters and apprentices were talking, there was movement outside the door. Then there was a 'click' of the door open, and the cousin entered: "You guys...... Stay! My uncle will be back in a moment. Zhong Kui knew that the uncle in his cousin's mouth was Xu Qian's father, and he was an out-and-out stubborn old stubborn.

The cousin stood at the door, not going back or coming in.

Xiao Ming felt quite strange, he looked at the master, and the master's gaze fell on the face of the strange uncle at the door.

"You got in touch with your uncle? Also, was the person sitting in the car just now Xu Qian? Zhong Kui asked.

"Well, yes, my uncle seems to know that you are coming, and as soon as he heard that it was you, he let him stay." The cousin rubbed his eyebrows, blinked his eyes, tried to keep his eyes open a little wider, looked at Zhong Kui and asked, "You saw it just now?" ”

"Well, seeing their car go out, what happened here?"

"It's a long story, I don't know how to tell you about this, so I'd better wait for my uncle to tell you." As he spoke, his cousin wanted to flash people.

"Wait a minute."

"What?"

Zhong Kui stared at the other party, his eyes were as cold as a cold star, looked at him and asked, "Who came up with the idea to continue building this hotel?" ”

When he asked this, his cousin's wandering eyes hurriedly glanced at the other party, and quickly twisted away. His expression seemed to be contemplative, as if he was secretly trying to figure out the meaning of his question.

Three people, three pairs of eyes, different minds, each speculating about each other. For a second the three of them did not make a sound, as if they were in a completely vacuum and oppressive closed room.

Suddenly, a heavy sigh came from his cousin's mouth, and he shook his head and said, "Don't doubt it, that person is good friends with my uncle." The cousin retorted. Then he added: "There was indeed a big incident in my uncle's house, Qian'er went crazy inexplicably, kept making trouble, and was finally sent to the 8th People's Psychiatric Hospital for treatment.

"How so?" Zhong Kui exclaimed.

"Well, I'll tell you the truth, she went crazy the time you came. Uncle won't let me tell you, and I don't dare say anything more. ”

"What? Did your uncle deliberately hide it from us? ”

"Yes." The cousin replied, his eyes twinkling, as if he had something else to say. After a pause, he said again: "Did you feel anything when you came here?" ”

Zhong Kui knew what he was asking.

Xiao Ming glanced at the master, and when he saw that he didn't make a sound, he hurriedly said, "Yes, why not, it was so cold just now." ”

"Well, I don't think it's right here, too."

"No, then you still call your uncle to build a hotel?"

"Actually, this is my uncle who has a house in Hong Kong, and he misses his relatives when he is old, after Xu Qian came. Just sell all the real estate in Hong Kong at a low price and retire here for a lifetime. Here are his memories. As for what the memory is, I don't know, it has to do with a woman anyway. ”

"Is it Xu Qian's mother?" Zhong Kui felt the need to get to the point, and the sound of a strange phone call kept coming to his head. If Xu Qian is fine, then who sent him a distress message?

"It doesn't seem like it, Qian'er's mother died in childbirth...... It is said to be twins...... Forehead! I have a lot of words. The cousin swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, and his eyes hurriedly and blindly scanned the surroundings. Continuing to lean against the door frame, he said without thinking about entering the house: "You said that the evil door is not an evil door, but one day the workers who built the hotel suddenly ran away, and they didn't even dare to ask for their wages. The final project was left like this, and my uncle was so anxious that he couldn't find me, and wanted to call me to call on someone to help finish the final project, but I went around looking for people, and when they heard that it was 'Xintai Hotel', they all shook their heads and couldn't come. Coupled with Qian'er's two-headed seizures in three days, the uncle is enough to choke, alas! ”

I originally thought it would be a simple distress message, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated. "Why didn't your uncle listen to my advice?" I'll ......" Zhong cooed with a furrowed eyebrow. Then he looked up and couldn't wait for the other party to speak, and said again: "Don't be afraid of everything, tell me everything, with me here, nothing will happen." ”

"Are you really capable?" The cousin was a little unconvinced.

"Believe it or not, if you don't come in again, beware of the ghosts in the hallway taking you away." Zhong Kui said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"Shhh Don't scare me, I'm ......" The cousin said that he was not afraid, but in fact, the person had already run in a few steps and turned around to push the door to slam shut, and the person did not stand firm and said in a trembling voice: "To be honest, a person is still afraid here." ”
