Li Huaishan approached me and said in a low voice: "This woman is probably not well-intentioned, be careful." ”

I smiled helplessly, parked the car at the mouth of the alley, slowly rolled down the window, and smiled at Hu Nanqian: "Where are we going to eat?" ”

Hu Nanqian still responded with a very sweet smile: "Let's eat at home, I cleared a good cook to cook at home today, keep it in your mouth, and park the car outside." ”

Li Huaishan and I got out of the car one after another, and then went to the back compartment to pick up the big and small black and the hammer out, these three little guys were sleepy as soon as they got on the car, and they were still sleeping in a daze, Li Huaishan and I couldn't bear to wake them up, so we could only gently hold on to suspicion.

Hu Nanqian looked at the big and small black, and said to me with a smile: "You two little devils are not the same as before." ”

I smiled a little helplessly: "It's getting naughty and naughty." ”

As I spoke, Hu Nanqian pointed to the depths of the alley: "Come with me, the innermost house is my house." ”

We followed Hu Nanqian into the alley, which looked very old, with weeds and moss growing in the cracks of the floor tiles, and many vine branches and loofah branches growing from the yards on both sides of the road, but they were all dead and hung on the wall, looking like dried reeds hanging down.

Looks like this place hasn't been inhabited for a long time.

Li Huaishan glanced around a few times, and then asked Hu Nanqian: "Sister Hu, why do you live in such a place?" ”

Hu Nanqian turned his head to look at Li Huaishan: "What did you call me just now?" ”

"Sister Hu, shouldn't you call it that?"

Hu Nanqian suddenly smiled: "It should be called, it has to be called that, don't change your words in the future." This old courtyard was built by me seven years ago, and I live here occasionally. ”

I asked Hu Nanqian: "This list is simpler than the previous two." ”

Hu Nanqian glanced at me and said, "You kid, why are you in such a hurry?" I haven't seen you Sister Hu for so long, and I don't talk about family life, I just talk about lists, how boring. Let's go home and have a bite to eat, and when we eat, I'll tell you about the list. ”

After a while, she added: "The list of this meeting is really not profitable, I pondered and pondered, and the two of you are willing to go." ”

I smiled and didn't say anything more, but Li Huaishan muttered on the side: "Why don't you make a list for us?" ”

Hu Nanqian deliberately pretended not to hear his words, and did not respond to a word.

The alley is not deep, and it didn't take long for us to follow Hu Nanqian into a large courtyard with old bricks and old gates.

From the outside, this alley is a decayed and dilapidated appearance, fortunately, the courtyard where Hu Nanqian lives is also a unique cave, there are two pieces of mud land in it, and there are a lot of flowers, and now it is also a cold winter, and I don't know what method Hu Nanqian used to make all kinds of flowers bloom as usual.

In the middle of the two flower patches is a cobblestone path that leads to the opposite door.

"I didn't expect the two of you to arrive so soon, I prepared a little hastily, no wine and no tea, can you drink water?" Hu Nanqian opened the door and asked us without looking back.

I smiled and responded, "It's good to drink water." ”

Hu Nanqian is probably a person with a unique taste, the decoration style of the house is very distinctive, there are some old photos from the 80s hanging on the wall, the tables and chairs are wooden, painted with a very bright yellow paint, and I saw several old-fashioned enamel jars on the table, white and blue, and a bright red five-pointed star printed on the front of the cup.

On the wall opposite the door, in addition to three or four old picture frames hanging in irregular positions, there was also an old acoustic guitar, an old metal kettle, and a green army hat made of soft cloth.

The whole room is filled with a rock 'n' roll vibe of the eighties and nineties, which makes people unconsciously think of Cui Jian and his "Nothing".

Hu Nanqian came to the kitchen door and shouted, "Let's eat." Then he turned his head and asked me with a smile: "How is it, when you enter my house, you don't feel like you have suddenly returned to the era of the People's Commune." ”

I smiled: "I didn't go back that early, but I felt like I had traveled back in time to the eighties and nineties." ”

Hu Nanqian motioned for us to sit down, and said, "I'm a person who likes old and old things, and the furnishings in this room are all bought by me from the thrift market." Isn't your old man's pawn shop also in the thrift business, if you have any good things in the future, can you show me first, as long as I look at it, the price is negotiable. ”

"You mean the old man's thrift store, okay, I just have a lot of goods on hand, and I'll go back next year to help you look at it."

As soon as I finished speaking, Hu Nanqian asked, "Are you going back to your house next year?" Got it in mind? ”

I was stunned for a moment and raised my eyes to look at Hu Nanqian.

Hu Nanqian smiled, and didn't continue to discuss the topic, but just urged the kitchen: "Hurry up, the guests are hungry." ”

Not long after the words landed, a burly man walked out of the kitchen quickly, wearing a large peaked cap on his head, and the shadow of the brim completely blocked his eyes and nose, making it impossible to see his appearance.

Placing the two dishes on the table, the man hurried to the kitchen again, as if deliberately not letting us see who he was.

Since the other party didn't want to show his true face in front of us, I was embarrassed to keep staring at others, so I turned my attention to Hu Nanqian's side and said to Hu Nanqian: "Let's talk about the list." ”

Li Huaishan kept staring at the door of the kitchen, Hu Nanqian first patted him on the shoulder, and then said to me: "You family, you are in a hurry, and you haven't eaten yet, what kind of list are you talking about, come on, eat first." ”

But as soon as I picked up the chopsticks, Hu Nanqian then said: "This case, I will do it with you, what equipment do you want to use, go back and make a list, and I will buy it for you." ”

I raised my eyes to look at Hu Nanqian: "Are you with us?" ”

Hu Nanqian nodded: "I'll go with you, but I don't go into the village, I'm only responsible for picking up outside." ”

Li Huaishan opened his mouth and said: "What kind of case can let you go out of the mountain in person?" ”

"This case is ...... with a friend of mine," Hu Nanqian was saying, and two more dishes were brought in the kitchen, she turned sideways to make room for the other party to set the dishes, and waited for the others to leave, before she continued: "It has something to do with an old friend of mine, so I plan to go and see it too." ”

I put down the chopsticks in my hand and asked Hu Nanqian, "What friend?" ”

Hu Nanqian: "It's a very old friend, I haven't seen him for many years, I heard people in the industry say that this old thing passed away ten years ago, but from this incident, I can always see his shadow, I'm really a little worried." ”

Li Huaishan also put down his chopsticks: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Hu Nanqian sorted out her thoughts a little: "About two months ago, a group of travelers went camping on the Three Gorges, went to six people, and only one came back. ”

Li Huaishan: "Oh, I've heard of this person. ”

I asked Li Huaishan: "You have also been a travel friend?" ”

"It's not me," Li Huaishan waved his hand: "You still remember Song Laosan of our furniture city, he is a travel friend, I heard that in their circle, there is a small organization, usually a team to go out to the mountains, explore a danger or something, the initiator of their small organization, nicknamed Qingpizi." ”

Hu Nanqian picked up the conversation: "The green skin you said may be the same person as the one I said." Speaking of which, this person is also fateful, the other six people he took out, it is said that all of them were killed by the shadow ghost, and even the body was not found, only he mustered up the courage to jump off the cliff, but did not fall to his death, and hung on the branch for three days and three nights, and then the people from the Geological Bureau passed by, found him, and rescued him. ”

I couldn't help frowning: "Shadow ghost? ”

Hu Nanqian continued: "Qingpizi went crazy when he was rescued, and I heard from the people in the hospital that since he woke up, he has been saying that everyone else died at the hands of a figure, and that he saw a ghost in a deserted village. But when the local police sent people to check on the village, they couldn't find even a single body. Later, this matter was filed with your organization, and your organization named the case, and it was called the Shadow Ghost Murder Case, numbered 7113, also known as the 7113 Big Case. ”

I said, "Didn't the organization send someone to investigate?" ”

Hu Nanqian: "No way, I can't spare manpower." In the past few years, your organization has focused all its energy on dealing with the funeral religion, and many cases have not been dealt with. ”

I then asked her, "What does this have to do with your old friend?" ”

Hu Nanqian sighed and said: "I heard from the people in the industry that he went to the Three Gorges before he died, as if he was looking for an ancient tomb, but he didn't come back after that time, and after a full year, the corpse people found his body downstream and informed his apprentice to transport it back to the sect." And the last place he appeared at that time was that deserted village. ”

I frowned slightly: "Shadow ghost...... Does it have anything to do with him? ”

Hu Nanqian was stunned for a moment: "Indeed...... Kind of related. Forget it, you're not a newcomer anymore, I'll give you a real idea, I suspect that the so-called shadow ghost is his soul, in his early years, he had cultivated an evil sect technique, which could control the yin with the help of three souls and seven spirits and telekinesis. ”

Li Huaishan asked with a lot of mouths: "What is the Yin Evil?" ”

I said, "It's the pure yin qi that has been transformed into a form, because most of the yin qi is a black cloud after it is transformed, and it looks like a shadow." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Hu Nanqian said to me again: "I have gone to the vicinity of the deserted village with the geological team, and if nothing else, the tomb that my old friend was looking for is directly below the village. ”

Hearing Hu Nanqian say this, Li Huaishan hugged his head and shouted impatiently: "It's enough, why do you want to go to the tomb again!" ”
