"Lao Hu is still in Spring City, I have to look at the store at night, and I won't be able to leave until tomorrow morning to pick him up at the earliest."

"Then while there is still some time, let's talk about Lao Hu in detail."

"You seem to be particularly interested in this person, can you tell me why?"

"For some inconvenient personal reasons."

"Yes, you are a young owner, since you are interested in him," No. 2 said as he pulled out two books from the drawer behind the bar: "All the customer's information is in these two books, one is the phone book, and the contact information of each customer is on it, and the other book records some of their life deeds, Lao Hu's matter is a bit complicated, you better read it yourself." ”

I first looked through the phone book and found that none of the contacts had a specific name, only a last name, followed by a career, and a phone number after the occupation.

Lao Hu's occupation was labeled as "casual worker", and his surname was deliberately circled with a signature pen.

I asked Number Two: "What does this mean, and why do you want to circle his surname?" ”

Number Two responded: "He's the key contact, I'll make a mark." ”

Then I opened the biography again, which was densely filled with small characters, but most people's life accounts were only a few short lines, except for the story of Lao Hu, which took nearly seven or eight sheets of paper to write.

I took a general look at the things written by No. 2, and found that what this guy wrote was very scattered, and it took me a little effort to sort out what happened to Lao Hu.

In essence, this person should belong to the half of the Qing, his ancestors are also people in the industry, but he is not a disciple of the sect, nor is he a big family, at best he is just a thin and famous casual cultivator, most of the people like this do not have a more systematic inheritance system, and when it comes to the generation of Hu Sangong, the inheritance of family learning is almost all broken, leaving only a few old books on feng shui.

I guess what those books talk about should not be ordinary feng shui calculations, because Hu casual workers, who have not cultivated to the second and have never entered the industry, can rely on the knowledge in so many old books to build a Qiyun Pavilion in the village.

No. 2 wrote in the book that the Yunting established by Hu Sangong was pressed on the western portal of the entire village, and that location was precisely the Yunkou of the village, and the construction of the Yunting in that position would lead to the decline of the fortune of the whole village, but if someone and the eight characters of the pavilion coincided, not only would this person not be lucky, but the fortune of the villagers being taken away would be all blessed on him.

At first, Lao Hu built such a pavilion, not out of malice, he just wanted to take advantage of the luck of the villagers to go out and make a few big money, return to the village another day, dismantle the pavilion, and then rely on the funds in his hand to take the villagers to get rich together.

It's a pity that the original intention of this thing, after all, is still no match for the temptation in the world of flowers, as Hu casual workers earn more and more money, his ambition is getting bigger and bigger, at that time in his opinion, the villagers have become a stumbling block on the road to his success, if he uses his own money to give back to the township, it is equivalent to the fortune that has been divided, even if you make money in the future, it is just a little money, after all, the fortune has been returned, and then want to gather, but it is not so easy.

It's just that Lao Hu didn't expect that the Yunting Pavilion he built in the village would bring him unimaginable bad luck.

In the summer of 2002, a small flash flood broke out in the village, causing a mountain to collapse, and the peak of the mountain was seven or eight meters shorter than before.

Since the landslide occurred, many elderly people in the village have suffered from terminal illnesses at the same time, and then many people who are in the prime of life have either a high fever that does not go away, or they are like evil spirits, and they are ferocious and hurt people everywhere.

Hu Shangong was indeed greedy, but he was not vicious, and when he saw that there were people in the village, he found a few feng shui gentlemen, readjusted the feng shui in the village, and demolished the Yun Pavilion.

At that time, a feng shui master told him that he had committed a great sin and that he would be punished within six years.

Sure enough, not long after the Yunting was demolished, Hu Shangong's company was in a situation, almost every business was in a state of blood loss, and within half a year, the entire business group was declared bankrupt.

During this period, Hu's son was also killed in a car accident, and at the time of the accident, there were 23 people on the school bus, including the driver and other students, but strangely, only Hu's son was killed, and the others did not suffer even a single skin injury.

After the death of her son, Hu Shugong's wife couldn't bear such a huge psychological stimulation and went crazy soon after.

Now Hu casual workers have little time to go out to work because they have to take care of their crazy wife, and can only barely make ends meet on the meager income from odd jobs in Spring City.

He came to the bar before he went bankrupt, and since Number Two has been in constant contact with him over the years, he is well aware of his current situation.

No. 2 wrote in the notebook that the perpetrator was Lao Hu, and his wife and children didn't even know about the existence of Yunting, but why did it be the mother and son who suffered, and to this day, Hu is still alive and well.

For this, he also deliberately went to Lao Hu's hometown and conducted an investigation there.

In an old house in the east of the village, No. 2 found a half-human-high hidden door, which did not look like a modern thing, suspected of being an antiquity, he had tried many ways to open the door, but there seemed to be something behind the door, and it couldn't be opened anyway, and when No. 2 was about to blow up the door with explosives, he was stopped by the villagers who rushed to it.

He learned from the villagers that the door was connected to the dragon's eye in the village, and if it was opened, the entire village would be destroyed.

Later, the villagers kept staring at him, for fear that he would go back and blow up the door, and No. 2 couldn't do it, so he could only leave helplessly.

After leaving the village, No. 2 went to Spring City again to find out about the situation with Hu Casual Worker, at that time part of Hu Casual Worker's memory had been suppressed, he only remembered that he seemed to have committed a crime, but he did not know what he had done, and No. 2 only asked him if he still had any impression of the old house in the east of the village.

Hu said that he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have done an extraordinary event many years ago, and before he started, he had lived in the old house in the east of the village for one night, and that night, it seemed that someone had chatted with him, but he couldn't remember exactly who went to the old house to chat with him, and what the two talked about, but he couldn't remember at all.

No. 2 said that the part of Hu's suppressed memory did not include the part of his overnight stay in the old house in the east of the village, which seems to mean that someone had tampered with Hu's memory in advance long before he came to the bar.

In addition, No. 2 also explained in the book, the reason why he insisted on opening the hidden door in the old mansion was because when he put his ear on the side of the door, he heard a very strange sound of the wind, the sound whimpered, like the low groaning of a hound, and the voice heard by Hu Sangong in the dark, it may be the same.
