Chapter Seventy-Five: The Legend of the Foot to the Gate (I)

"Thank you."

"Nothing. If you want to thank me, you can waive my room fee. ”

"Hey, that's not going to work." Zhang Wenyi's face was full of sadness, and a faint smile finally appeared.

Once again, night fell. Think about it, I have been in Black Mountain Town for two days, and before I have even started the investigation, I have been entangled in the terrible trivial matters of this family, and there is no way to find an opportunity to ask about any Li Shu people from this mess.

"That man's name is Qi Shimu, the eldest son of the Qi family, the Qi family is a big family, powerful and powerful, and most of the people in our town rely on his family for food, so even if his family bullies us like a dog, there are still not many people who dare to resist. My sister is so stupid, knowing that bastard is just playing with her, but she just can't come to her senses. ”

Most of the worshippers were afraid of the so-called ghosts and ghosts, so they made excuses and slipped away. The spirit room was empty, and in the end, only Zhang Wenyi and I were left, she sighed and looked at the ceiling blankly: "Actually, why am I also very stupid?" The glow moth fights the fire, knowing that it will be injured, and will not hesitate to pounce on it, but at least I won't be like my sister, a stupid person who will commit suicide for that kind of person! ”

I smiled bitterly: "The people in your family seem to have a good temperament. ”

"Do you believe it or not? My sister is the best for me in this family. Whatever she had, she would keep the best for me, whether it was food or clothes, I remember that when it snowed that year, I got lost in the mountains, and the rescue team organized by the town refused to go up the mountain because the snowstorm was too big, and my sister almost went crazy, and she begged them for a long time...... In the end, she braved the night to go to the mountains to find me, and almost lost her life, my sister is so stupid, in fact, where I am lost, I am just angry with her......"

Zhang Wenyi looked ahead blankly, a sweet smile bloomed on her tear-stained face, and suddenly, as if thinking of something, her face changed, she became full of anger, and said loudly and nervously: "But after that man appeared, my sister changed, that man, that bastard!" She must have killed her sister, that kind of playboy, he must not die well! ”

"Calm down!" I was holding her shoulders and trying to relieve her, when I suddenly heard a "snap" from the altar.

What was that? I scratched my head and walked over, only to see the corpse's left hand hanging from the platform, swaying vigorously by gravity.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wenyi asked in a hoarse voice crying.

"It's nothing, it could be some bastard who touched the corpse, her hand wasn't steady, and now it's falling." I carefully picked up the corpse's left hand with three fingers and tried to put it away, when I suddenly felt as if something was wrong, so I grabbed the left hand and brought it to my eyes to look closely.

"Strange, you come and have a look." I beckoned to Zhang Wenyi, pointed to the white jade bracelet on the left hand of the corpse and said, "When I saw this corpse yesterday, this white jade bracelet was obviously worn on the right wrist, why is it now on the left hand?" ”

"What did you say?" Zhang Wenyi's face turned pale suddenly, she grabbed my arm tremblingly and asked loudly, "You said that my sister's white jade bracelet is on her right hand?" You really read that right? ”

I said: "I have only one merit as a person, that is, I have a strong memory and observation. ”

"Damn! That damn guy. At that moment, I almost felt that Zhang Wenyi's beautiful face had become hideous again. She grabbed my arm harder, tighter and tighter, and finally turned and ran to the back hall.

What's that guy's nerves? I scratched my head and looked around. This mourning hall was originally the hall of the hotel, which was very large, but now it was only lit by a few flickering spiritual lamps, which was indescribably gloomy, and suddenly I felt that I was the only one left in this dim and huge space, and I was still holding the corpse's swollen arm that was blistered tightly......

Shivering, I laughed dryly.

He put his arm down, casually wiped his hand on the white cover, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Wait for me." Damn it! What the hell is this place! After calling it, he hurriedly chased after Zhang Wenyi's figure.

I walked through the inner hall and the room used by the Zhang family until I saw a glimmer of light.

Zhang Wenyi's whole body stiffened, and she stood in front of the basement door in a daze. "Bed!" Her eyes were fixed looking in, and her mouth kept repeating the word.

"What bed?" When I squeezed over to look into the room, I was stunned. Sky! In this large guest room of about 30 square meters, all the things have been emptied, only a single bed is placed in the far right corner of the room, which looks very weird, and this bed is actually placed diagonally, and the foot of the bed is facing the door of the room, this situation is exactly the same as Li Shuren and Zhang Xiuwen's bedroom!

"It's the bed to the door again!" I muttered to myself.

Zhang Wenyi came back to her senses and looked at me in surprise: "You also know the legend of the foot facing the door?" ”

"What feet are facing the door?" I frowned.

She hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly: "By the way, you are a foreigner. How is it possible to know this legend! ”

"What legend? Does it have something to do with the placement of the bed? ”

I was inexplicably excited, by the way, Li Shu and Zhang Xiuwen had been in Black Mountain Town, a person who was originally in Black Mountain Town, if there were really that kind of related customs and legends, then they would put the bed in a strange position, it was not for no reason, and if you followed the reason, maybe you could find the murderer who killed them, and even Li Shuren's eighty-six-year-old physique......

Suddenly, I felt that all the answers would be so close to me, as if I could get them at my fingertips.

"Not a big deal." Zhang Wenyi shook her head, her face was a little strange, "We have a custom here, saying that as long as you put the bed in front of the door and let your feet face the door when you sleep, you will make the man you like become dead to yourself." ”

"It's as simple as that?" I looked at her suspiciously, "Then why were you so surprised just now?" ”

Zhang Wenyi's eyes showed a look of pain, "I'm just surprised that my sister would believe such an idiot's legend." ”

"Where's the white jade hand refining?" I always felt that this little girl's words were not true, and I asked without giving up: "I said that it was originally worn on your sister's right hand, why did you immediately want to run here?" ”

"It has something to do with that legend, too." Zhang Wenyi gently closed the door and motioned for me to go up to the second floor, "Wear the white jade bracelet on your right wrist, and you can receive double the effect." ”

"What kind of custom is this, why is it so strange? It's like playing a role-playing game. I sarcastically said.

Zhang Wenyi stopped suddenly, she stretched out her hand to stop me, and said coldly: "Night silent, I want to guard my sister alone tonight, you go to bed early, my sister was very shy before she died, I think she doesn't want to be disturbed by an outsider after she dies!" ”

"When did you become so polite?" I snorted, and my tone began to stiffen.

"Just when I beg you." Zhang Wenyi opened the door of the guest room and pushed me in, quickly closed the door and took out the key to lock my door.

I was startled, and slammed on the door and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing, let me out!" ”

Through the keyhole, I saw her leaning her back lightly against the opposite wall, and took a deep breath, "No matter what happens tonight, I hope you don't come out, I don't want to bother you!" She was about to go downstairs.

"That's right." Turning around suddenly, Zhang Wenyi smiled gently at me, with a beautiful smile with a hint of tiredness and sadness: "Thank you." In fact, I really wanted to kill myself that day by the river, but when I saw you, I didn't have the courage. Heh, how nice it would be if we could have met sooner? ”

She shook her head bitterly while laughing, and tears flowed from her eyes. Crystal clear, but the corners of the mouth still have a crescent smile.

"Goodbye. This time it's really goodbye! ”

Watching her disappear at the end of the hallway, I angrily began to kick the door. What the hell, it's like she's going to part with life and death, it's really a wayward little girl, she doesn't ask me, she excludes me arbitrarily about everything, does she know who I am? I'm silent at night, known as the world's first thick-skinned, curious, only me, no one is silent at night!

After kicking wildly for about ten minutes, I surrendered to the door.

"What the hell, doesn't it mean that the quality of the goods is getting worse and worse now? Why is the quality of this door so good, rely on! The guys who made this door are really unprofessional, do they know what a door is? The meaning of the door is to prevent only the gentleman, not the villain! ”

I scolded incoherently, and after a while, my mind began to cool down. By the way, what am I doing here with brute force, don't I have a stunt that presses the bottom of the box?

If it weren't for reason desperately reminding me, now is not the time for self-reflection, otherwise I would really like to give myself a slap in the face! I managed to break the rotten lock with a piece of wire that I had brought with me, and I ran downstairs.

Zhang Wenyi was not downstairs, and the corpse on the mourning platform was gone, the dim mourning hall was empty, the door of the hall to the outside was ajar, the "creak" of the cold wind was blowing non-stop, and then outside was the silent night. I shuddered and walked slowly to the altar.

The white cloth that had been covering the corpse was thrown on the ground indiscriminately, and when I picked it up, I saw a large patch of scarlet liquid. It's blood! Whose blood? Could it be Zhang Wenyi's? What the hell happened to her? I looked around nervously and found a black cat lying not far from the altar.

The cat was dead, but still had a temperature, and it looked like it had just died.

Hey? Who was so cruel as to cut a cat's throat with something extremely blunt? I examined his very uneven wounds, as if I had seen with my own eyes the cruel sight of the cat dying and dying, enduring the severe pain and watching his own blood flow out of his throat......

Suddenly, I felt something quietly and silently come behind me, and a chill suddenly surged up my back. My mouth was inexplicably dry, and fear, endless fear engulfed me like darkness.

Pressing my heart that was about to pop out of my chest in fear, I slowly wanted to turn my head, but suddenly my eyes went black and I fainted......
