Li Huaishan looked puzzled: "What does the IOU mean?" ”

I asked him, "Have you ever heard of dead man's debt?" ”

Li Huaishan still shook his head. [with _dream]еā

To be honest, I was a little impatient, but I had to explain: "A dead man's debt is a debt that you borrow from a dead man. But a dead man is a corpse, and if you borrow something from him, he won't come to collect the debt. But there are no absolutes in everything, if you borrow something when the deceased is not over the first seven, and you also make an IOU, then the deceased will not be able to live in peace, unless the deceased is a sage and other bodies, otherwise, nineteen eighty-nine will turn into a ghost to collect debts. According to the ancient books of the family, most of the people who owe the debt to the dead do not end well, because few people can repay the debt. ”

Li Huaishan finally understood what I meant: "You mean, the widow Wang borrowed something from the ghost?" ”

I looked at the stones on the ground and let out a cloudy breath from my mouth: "Maybe she borrowed something, or maybe she was already in debt since she was born." ”

Li Huaishan frowned and pondered for a while, then pursed his lips.

I always suspected that there was a secret passage in this house, and the floor of this bedroom was full of lime powder, and it was easiest to hide the secret door, so I didn't be ambiguous, beckoned Li Huaishan into the house, and rummaged through the house with him.

We cleared all the stones on the ground to the corridor, all the furniture was moved aside, and even the lime powder scattered on the ground was swept away, and after tossing for a while, Li Huaishan and I were whitened by the flying lime powder, but we didn't find anything.

We even rummaged through all the cooks and cabinets, and there were no other suspicious items in them except for daily necessities.

In desperation, I gave up the search for the time being and returned to the courtyard with Li Huaishan.

When I came out of the bedroom, Li Huaishan asked me if I wanted to search the kitchen, and I shook my head and said no.

Chen Laohan placed the tunnel under the kitchen because their kitchen was dry enough, but the kitchen of Widow Wang's house was extremely damp, and I observed that there were five or six floor drains in the kitchen alone, but even so, there were still large traces of undried water there.

Such a place, not to say that you can't dig tunnels, but due to the heavy moisture, the walls in the tunnels will inevitably be affected, and it is easy to collapse, so you must use stones or metals that are not easy to oxidize to support, and such a face will inevitably increase the cost of digging tunnels, and only a fool can do such a heartless thing.

Ever since I entered the courtyard of Widow Wang's house, I have not dared to let my mind relax completely, and I have been thinking about such questions with the greatest amount of mental power.

So I figured out some things, but Li Huaishan couldn't figure it out, firstly because the string in his head was not as tight as mine, and on the other hand, because there were too few things in his head, after all, he hadn't read any of the old man's feng shui classics.

After all, the prerequisite for being an unpredictable prophet is that you have enough knowledge.

Only if you know enough can you see through it at a glance.

So, it doesn't matter how high or low my IQ is, it's just that my luck is better than Li Huaishan, because my surname is Yan, and I have a grandfather who is willing to open the back door for me.

Of course, it is precisely because of my own grandfather that I almost became an orphan back then, and my parents are still missing, but one yard to one yard, I will not completely deny this person for the sake of that little resentment in my heart.

When I got to the courtyard, I said that my eyes were fixed on the hut in the corner of the courtyard, which should be my last hope.

If nothing is discovered, all my previous assumptions about the widow will be overturned.

Li Huaishan took out a cigarette from the cigarette pack, handed it to me, and asked in a low voice, "The house is a mess with the two of us, don't you clean it up?" ”

I lit a cigarette, swallowed two puffs of cloud, and whispered, "If you don't clean up, the more messy the better." ”

Li Huaishan looked a little puzzled: "What kind of way are you, in case the widow Wang and the one named Chen Dabang come back and see such a mess on the ground, don't you know that someone has come in?" ”

I smiled, "I'm just going to scare the snake and see how the people who live in this house react." Li Huaishan, have you thought about it, why did Chen Dabang take the widow Wang to live in the castle? ”

Li Huaishan shook his head: "Why?" ”

I said, "I can't say for sure, but one thing is for sure, the castle must be a place of special significance to them." Think about it, why did Chen Laohan put the matter of their family's peaceful ghosts and the evil matter of the widow of the king together. ”

Li Huaishan waved his hand at me vigorously: "Can you not keep asking me such complicated questions, I can't keep up with your train of thought!" ”

I smiled helplessly: "I'm just asking, in fact, I can't give answers to these questions." ”

Li Huaishan: "Then you still ask." ”

I took two puffs of my cigarette and said as I walked towards the hut, "It's better for two people to think than for one person, and even if you can't come to a conclusion, you can broaden your thinking, and it's always good to think wider." ”

Li Huaishan pursed his lips: "Your tone is a bit like the third master." Hey, if you don't, I didn't think you were a brain-loving person before, why are you ...... today? Today I feel like you're suddenly getting smarter. ”

I opened the door to the hut, which was a storage room, and it was dry, the storage shelves against the wall and a couple of wooden boxes were cracked with dryness.

In such a place, there is indeed a possibility that there is a secret passage.

With that in mind, I turned my gaze to the innermost boxes in the room.

At this time, Li Huaishan asked again: "Why did you suddenly become smarter." ”

"Smart fart, if my head is easy to use, I won't be like that bear in the college entrance examination."

As I spoke, I came to one of the boxes, there were three boxes in the room, and the lid of each box was full of messy things, I randomly arranged the old shoes and a few rags piled on the boxes, and when I lifted the lid of the box, it was full of discarded old shoes and old leather bags, took these things out, reached out and knocked on the bottom of the box, and the sound from below was very solid, indicating that the bottom was solid.

Li Huaishan didn't know what was going on today, his mouth was broken endlessly, I was busy here, he was next to me and asked, and then he said to me: "I feel that your thoughts are jumping around today, are you suddenly enlightened or what's wrong, I've never seen you like this before." ”

I understand what Li Huaishan meant, he just wanted to say, you used to look stupider than me, why are you suddenly smarter than me today, my heart is unbalanced, you have to give me an explanation anyway.

If you want to say it, then I'll give you an explanation.

While opening the second box, I said to Li Huaishan: "After being locked up in the West Hall for eight months, I can be regarded as having gone through all the various classics in the hall. Take the art of war classics as an example, except for those books that only talk about practice and martial arts, most of the military books have the same sentence, that is, 'Yin and Yang take care of each other, Qi Zheng is born together', and the book also says that whether it is marching and fighting or dealing with daily food, Yin and Yang and Qi Zheng are indispensable......"

Probably because my words were too long, Li Huaishan interrupted me before I could finish speaking: "What you mean is that you became smart after reading those ancient books." ”

I said, "My IQ is the same as before, it hasn't changed at all, I want to say that those ancient books of the family have taught a good way of thinking." Ancient books say that those who are good at thinking can cultivate their own family and those who are good at understanding the world, and if a person has an excellent way of thinking and excellent flexibility, he can cultivate himself and level the world. In fact, those ancient books of the Chinese family have given me a very advanced way of thinking, and what I need to do now is to accumulate enough experience, which is to lay a good foundation for learning to be flexible. I don't expect to be able to level the world, the world is so peaceful, and I don't need to be peaceful, I just think that the stronger my ability, the easier it is to find the whereabouts of my parents. ”

By the time I got to the last half of the sentence, I had reached out and tapped on the bottom of the box, which was solid underneath.

I was suddenly very helpless in my heart, sighed softly, and when I raised my head, I found that Li Huaishan was looking at me with a frown.

I suddenly wondered, "Why do you look at me like that?" ”

Li Huaishan: "Can you stop mentioning the ancient books of the family?" ”

I also frowned: "Why?" ”

Li Huaishan: "Anyway, no matter how you mention it, I can't see it." ”

That's true.

I was going to change the topic, but before I could speak, Li Huaishan spoke again: "When I was in Kunming, I didn't see you like now." ”

This guy ...... Sure enough, I said what I didn't want to hear the most.

When I was in Kunming, as soon as I entered the urban village, I began to make mistakes, and I almost forgot everything I had learned at my old man's house for more than a year.

At that time, I was like a drama actor who appeared on stage for the first time, and I was good at rehearsals, but as soon as I got on stage, I was stunned when I saw the audience, and I forgot all the plot and lines, and my mind was blank.

It's just that the actors standing on the stage in a daze may face rotten eggs thrown by the audience, but those who do our business have to face the danger of losing their lives.

When I was in Kunming, I was a fledgling newbie, and to this day, I am still a fledgling newbie, and I have already made a big mistake, only this time, I forced myself to keep myself awake from the beginning.

After Li Huaishan finished saying that, he stared at me silently, waiting for my response.

I ignored him, walked straight to the third box, and regardless of the things that were pressed on the box indiscriminately, I grabbed the handle on the lid and pulled hard.

There was a crisp click, and I ripped the handle off, but the lid didn't move.
