Chapter 252: Old Photo Album
Li Huaishan was obviously not satisfied with the answer I gave, and he looked at me with a very disdainful look, but fortunately he didn't talk nonsense.
I didn't bother to talk to him about these things, so I condensed my mental power in the dantian, performed the magic of concentration, and carefully observed the flow of the Qi field in the room.
The old lady's corpse seemed to be fine, I couldn't see any evil qi on her, and although the yin qi was a little heavy in the whole room, its concentration was still maintained within an acceptable range.
Li Huaishan seemed to be a little apprehensive, and kept pacing behind me.
I scattered my mind and asked Li Huaishan, "Have you ever seen a dead person before?" ”
Unexpectedly, Li Huaishan really nodded: "I have seen the scene of a car accident before, and I went to the car with two other buddies to save people, but when I rescued people...... Oops, I can't tell you what happened to that scene, the upper half of the man's body was about to rot. ”
Listening to his words, I could think of the scene at that time, and I immediately frowned.
However, looking at Li Huaishan's appearance, he didn't seem to be afraid at all when he talked about the scene of the car accident, but he became uneasy when he faced Mrs. Wang's corpse.
There may be many people who have a problem like Li Huaishan, who is not afraid of the real bloody scenes, but is afraid of those things that are separated from life and death, such as ghosts, such as evil corpses.
I patted Li Huaishan on the shoulder: "You are looking at the old lady's corpse here, I'll go to another room for a look." ”
Li Huaishan immediately grabbed my arm: "You let me stay here alone, if this old lady suddenly cheats the corpse, I can't stop her with this little trick." ”
"This is an ordinary corpse, and it won't cheat corpses." I forcefully waved Li Huaishan's hand away, and pointed to the brazier next to the spiritual bed: "If you have nothing to do, burn a few pieces of yellow paper for the old lady, when you burn the paper, you must burn it thoroughly, don't burn half of it and leave half of it, be careful to attract the lonely ghosts and ghosts around." ”
"No, I said you ......"
Li Huaishan's words were only half spoken, but after that, he seemed to be unable to continue, sighed helplessly, and put on an expression of resignation.
I didn't pay attention to him anymore, and walked straight to the back room, and when I entered the door, I subconsciously turned my head, wanting to see Li Huaishan's current expression, but my eyes fell on the head of the spiritual bed.
Then the white cloth at the head of the bed was lifted through a crack, revealing a small tuft of gray-white hair, which was withered and hard, like weeds nailed to the bedboard.
When I saw this tuft of hair, my heart suddenly tightened.
After death, the hair loses its nutrients and should become softer and softer, but the tuft of hair in front of me is like glue, so hard that it is not unacceptable.
Isn't that the old lady of the king has already changed her corpse?
Thinking of this, I didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately condensed my mental power in the dantian, walked two steps quickly to the spiritual bed, and tore off the white cloth used to cover the corpse.
Mrs. Wang really did not have a corpse, even if I lifted the white cloth, I still couldn't feel the corpse, her hair seemed to be smeared with a very special hairspray, causing the hair to be dry and hard, and a thin layer of glue could be clearly seen at the intersection of the forehead and the roots.
Li Huaishan scratched his earlobe a little irritably, and asked me very unpleasantly: "What are you doing, don't scare people in broad daylight?" ”
I stared at the old lady's face and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”
Li Huaishan: "I lifted the white cloth without making a sound, I thought I had cheated the corpse just now!" ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, leaned forward, and opened Mrs. Wang's eyelids, and Li Huaishan said on the side: "What are you doing with her eyelids, I heard that picking up the eyelids of dead people will be evil!" ”
Let's ignore Li Huaishan for a while, here I need to talk about Mrs. Wang's appearance.
Her appearance is very peculiar compared to ordinary people, first of all, the upper lip is very thick, and then the chin and nose are very short, as if someone has forcibly cut off a piece, the old lady's left ear is complete, but the earring of the right ear is missing.
Yes, she looked like a pig with severed ears, and the deep wrinkles carved into her face added a bit of hideousness to this strange countenance.
I looked closely at the old lady's pupils, and there was no sign of whitening.
If the pupils quickly turn gray and show a large number of white spots the size of sesame seeds, the corpse will usually turn purple or white within eighteen hours, and if the pupils are bright purple, the corpse will become a very difficult corpse within one to two years.
There is no sign of corpse transformation at all, and the stone in my heart has finally fallen.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and then reached out and scratched on Mrs. Wang's eyelids, trying to make her eyes close again, and at the moment when Mrs. Wang's eyelids closed again, I vaguely felt her eyes shake quickly.
I was shocked, and quickly raised my hand and stared carefully into Mrs. Wang's eyes.
After a while, her eyes didn't move again, and I felt the breath on her body again.
This person is indeed dead, and there is no life at all, it should have been just my delusion.
After tossing for most of the day, I can basically determine that there is no problem with Mrs. Wang's body, but I don't know why, as long as my eyes fall on her, I always feel a little uncomfortable. But I don't know if this discomfort comes from my gut feeling.
At this time, Li Huaishan shouted at me again: "Don't move other people's corpses, quickly cover the cloth." ”
I raised my eyes and gave Li Huaishan a particularly helpless look.
Li Huaishan happened to meet my gaze, he was stunned for a moment, and asked me, "What kind of eyes are you?" ”
I sighed at him, "When are you going to grow up?" ”
Hearing my words, Li Huaishan's face suddenly fell, and he stood opposite the spiritual bed, staring at me without saying a word.
I didn't say anything more, turned and went into the back room.
Mrs. Wang's economic situation is obviously better than that of the tiger, but not much better, the walls of the house have not been painted for a long time, not only can you see large patches of mottle, but the slightly flat places also look dirty, and everywhere there is an earthy yellow like sweat stains.
The room where the corpses were displayed should be their living room, with a coffee table, a simple sofa, a TV cabinet, and a small color TV of about 20 inches.
But when I entered the back room, there was nothing else in the whole room, except for two small cabinets along the wall.
This room is supposed to be a room that connects the living room and bedroom.
In the feng shui texts of the old couple's family, this special room that has no practical purpose in itself and is only responsible for connecting the bedroom and the hall is called "Xuanfang" or "Xuanlang", which has an internal meaning somewhat similar to the entrance.
Speaking of which, the Xuanfang is very rare in ordinary houses, after all, no one will make a room with no practical purpose in their own home.
The two wooden cabinets placed in the hall looked to be a few years old, the surface of the wooden board showed a lot of scratch marks, and most of the red paint on the side of the cabinet had already fallen off.
I opened the cabinet and looked at it, and there was nothing in the cabinet on the left, and there was only a moldy sack in the cabinet on the right.
On weekdays, the old lady apparently rarely opened the two cabinets, and the handle of the cabinet door fell a thick layer of dust.
I closed the cabinet door, patted the dust stuck to my hands, and walked through the hallway to a bedroom.
Mrs. Wang's feng shui is very weird, her house seems to be rebuilt from a deep alley, all the houses are built in a straight line, after entering the door, go all the way in, first the living room, then the bedroom, the kitchen, the toilet, because the kitchen and toilet doors are open, I stand in the bedroom, I can see a few sugar canes placed at the kitchen door, and a small window on the south wall of the toilet.
The distance between the north and south of the house is very long, but there is only a small window on the north wall of the living room and the south wall of the toilet, which has very poor lighting.
Fortunately, the lights in each room were turned on, which made this trendy old house appear a little brighter.
I rummaged through a few small cupboards in my bedroom, and in addition to daily necessities such as needles and threads and combs, I also found an old photo album wrapped in oiled paper.
The first few pages were empty, and on the black backboard I could only see the dry paste and some untorn remains of the photos, and after turning a few pages in a row, a few blurry black and white photos appeared in front of my eyes.
There is only one person in each photo, but because the picture is too blurry, you can't see the other person's face clearly, you can only see that it seems to be a woman, and the background of each photo is the same deep old alley...... It seemed to be an old alley, and I could faintly see the large stone turns on the floor and the brick wall on the side of the road, but I couldn't see it very clearly.
It wasn't until the last pages of the album that the photos became clear, and all the photos were turned into color.
There is still only one person in these photos, and it is an awkward-looking woman standing in front of the same door in different clothes.
The woman is naturally Mrs. Wang before her death, in every photo, she has an expressionless face, and there is no luster in her eyes staring at the camera, which looks like a corpse at first glance.
The wooden door standing behind him was painted dark red, making it look like a coffin board standing upright.
In the lower left corner of the last few photos, the date of the shooting is also printed.
If you only look at the solar calendar date on the photo, the year, month, and day taken in each photo are different. However, when I tried to convert the months and day numbers of all the dates according to the lunar calendar, I found that almost all the photos were taken on the same day of the lunar calendar every year, July 15, Halloween.
Of these photos, only the last one was taken on August 25, 2007, which falls on July 13 of the lunar calendar, two days before Halloween. And in this photo, there is only a chair and a wooden door, but there is no figure of Mrs. Wang.
