Volume 01 The Mystery of the Case Chapter 006 The Debt of Sin

If this was the first time I'd ever encountered this, I think I'd be so frightened that I would have huddled behind closed doors.

But I had already experienced something more horrible, so I quickly got up, turned on the lights again, and went out to see where the sound was coming from.

But once I stood up, the voice was not very clear, and I searched for several houses one by one, but could not find them.

I even opened the back door and went to the back of the house to take a look.

The back door opened to the left of the wall where the portrait of the Celestial Master was hung, that is, on the side of the large bedroom.

To the left of the back door, against the outer wall of the room, half of the house was added to serve as a kitchen.

There was also an iron lock on the kitchen door, and I didn't open it to check it in, but I was sure there was no movement in the kitchen.

In addition, on the right side of the room, far away in the corner of the wall, a toilet was built with wooden planks.

I went to the toilet for a while, then went back to the door, latched it, re-entered the large bedroom, turned off the lights and lay down on the board.

But as soon as I lay down, the sound of whimpering came to my ears again.

It's really like a woman, crying in a thin and low voice.

I think of Huang Lili's son, who insisted that his father, Li Geng, had killed a person and even kidnapped his own sister because of it.

Could it be that Li Geng killed a woman?

Because the woman's soul is not gone, why will she let out this thin and low cry at night?

With such an idea, if it were someone else, he would definitely get up immediately, even if he rushed back to the county seat overnight, he would not dare to continue sleeping in this deserted and old house.

But I once met a female ghost who died unjustly, and that female ghost not only did not harm me, but saved my life again and again, and even developed a human-ghost relationship with me that I still can't forget.

So I was terrified, but I wasn't terrified.

On the contrary, I secretly prayed in my heart: If there is really a ghost in this room who has died unjustly, then tonight, in my dreams, tell the grievances.

With this thought in mind, I settled down and soon fell asleep.

It's a pity that I slept until dawn all night, and no female ghosts came into my dreams, and nothing terrifying happened.

Early the next morning, I rinsed my mouth with my own mouthwash, wiped my face with a wet wipe, and went out to the sawmill to do a detailed survey.

The sawmill is just a simple shack, which is basically transparent on all sides, so in the daytime, everything in the sawmill is clearly visible.

But the half-night terror that Huang Lili told happened eight years ago.

Not to mention that everything that can be used in the sawmill has been removed, even if everything remains unchanged for the past eight years, the erosion of the mountain wind and the dust of the years will eliminate all the traces of that year.

So to be honest, I don't have much hope that I can find any useful clues.

Still, I carefully searched all the corners and corners of the sawmill.

To my surprise, I found a small glass bottle in a corner, between a pile of scrap wood.

The glass bottle looked like a small bottle of pills.

It's just that the instruction manual attached to the outside of the porcelain bottle has been cleaned, and through the slightly greenish transparent bottle, you can see that the porcelain bottle contains something black that looks like a broken thread.

And in my heart, a thought suddenly welled up: this glass bottle is likely to be an important material evidence to prove that there was indeed a "midnight terror" on the night eight years ago.

But I didn't dare open the cap to prove my reasoning right, because eight years later, once I opened the cap, whatever was inside would instantly turn to dust.

So I carefully put the glass bottle into my backpack, and then I went down the mountain beam and followed my memories to Lijia Village.

Yesterday, I couldn't ask anything from the Li family, so as soon as I entered the village today, I no longer went to the Li family, but asked others about Li Geng's wife and their children.

Everyone in the village said that Li Geng had a good relationship with his wife. But when I mentioned Li Geng's son, the younger ones didn't know very well, and the older ones were silent and didn't want to say more.

Then it made me feel more and more that there were indeed some ulterior things between Li Geng and his wife and their son.

Then I saw two women sitting on the hillside, talking and tending to two children.

I walked over and took a bag of biscuits and gave them to the two children, and the two women finally opened up the conversation, and they said whatever I asked.

"If you want to ask Li Geng's son, no one dares to tell you!" One of the women, surnamed Nie, opened her mouth to say so.

"Why?" I asked with a smile, as gentle as I could.

The woman surnamed Nie pursed her lips and looked at another woman who was also surnamed Li, as if asking if she should say it.

The woman surnamed Li sighed and said, "Li Geng is my cousin, and his son is called Xiaoqiang." Usually very well-behaved, never crying or making trouble, and laughing when he sees people! At such a young age, uncles and aunts are so affectionate! But...... Sometimes he would suddenly go crazy, such as biting his dad with his teeth and scratching his dad with his hands! I've seen it with my own eyes, once when his dad was sitting and talking, he suddenly brought out a bowl of boiling water from the kitchen and splashed it on his dad at once! At that time, it was going to be summer, and he was wearing less clothes, and his father's skin was about to burn off! was so angry that his father turned around and slapped him, but the kid didn't cry and was still laughing! ”

The woman surnamed Li suddenly shrank for a moment, as if she remembered the child's laughter, and was a little worried.

The woman surnamed Nie couldn't help but interject and said, "What's more! I heard that he once took a pair of scissors while his dad was sleeping, and almost blinded his dad's eyes! To this day, Li Geng still has a scar in the corner of his eye, and that is what he pierced! If it weren't for the fact that he was so well-behaved and cute, his family would have given him away a long time ago, so everyone in our village said......"

When the woman surnamed Nie said this, she stopped looking at the surnamed Li again.

The surnamed Li smiled wryly and said, "There's nothing to hide, anyway, everyone in the village knows about it!" Because when he suddenly goes crazy, it will be very scary, and he won't cry when he hurts his dad, and he will laugh! So the people in the village said he was ...... The ghost is on the body, and the Li family has invited several times for this goddess to exorcise evil spirits, but it doesn't work! ”

The surnamed Li shook his head.

The surname Nie was still unsatisfied, and then said: "Even the goddess said that it was Li Geng who owed a debt in his last life, so there was a ghost who haunted their children and tried every means to murder Li Geng!" The people in the village had already persuaded Li Geng to give the child away, but Li Geng and Huang Lili were reluctant, and as a result, Li Geng finally put half of his hand into it! ”

I was a little confused when I heard it, although this child named Xiaoqiang did look like a ghost when he was "crazy", but it would really be like what the goddess said, it was Li Geng who owed a debt in his last life, so did an unjust soul find him to collect debts in this life?

Is there really a previous life in life?

If so, why was Li Geng reincarnated, but this unjust soul was not?

Could it be that the ghost of this wronged soul is not gone, just waiting to seek revenge on Li Geng in this life?

"If Li Geng really owed a debt in his previous life, why didn't this unjust soul directly go to Li Geng's body, wouldn't it be more painful to let Li Geng harm and abuse himself?" I couldn't help but ask this sentence.

The two women looked at each other, and the woman surnamed Nie said, "You people in the city don't believe in ghosts and gods, so there are some truths that you don't understand!" Some people have been strong since they were young, and ghosts and the like can't hide, such as Li Geng, you should have seen him in person, majestic and high-spirited, how dare ghosts go to his body? Only those who are born at a bad time and have too much yin qi are easy to attract ghosts! ”

Her explanation is reasonable.

So I quickly shifted the subject to the most impactful question.

"Li Geng's son said that Li Geng had killed people, what do you think?"

The two women were stunned for a moment, and almost said in unison: "That's pure nonsense!" ”

The woman surnamed Nie took the initiative to shut up, and the woman surnamed Li said: "What a good person my cousin is! I am capable and enthusiastic about people, no matter who asks him for help, I will not refuse! And he opened a sawmill early on, and he can make more money than any other man in our village! His wife Huang Lili is beautiful and beautiful, what do you say he wants to kill? ”

"yes, yes, and I haven't heard anyone disappear from this distance! He's going to kill someone, someone has to be missing, right? The woman surnamed Nie also followed suit.

I pondered it in my own heart, and I felt that the crux of all the problems was still in that child.

Whether the child is a ghost or not can only be judged after seeing the child.
