Chapter Seventy-Three: There Is Another Secret
Shi Huayin has become like this, he must have been possessed by a possessed spirit. But my main concern is not that, but the words he writes.
If I'm not mistaken, when the second master saw the words on the ghost door closing, he also carefully recognized it for a while.
The second master's temperament is fiery, coupled with rich experience, most things can be seen through at a glance, and he will never take a second look, it is difficult to see him study something so carefully.
So I have always felt that even for the second master who has been in the line for decades, the words on the ghost door should be very rare.
Probably seeing that I had been frowning, the old gentleman asked me tentatively, "Is Sir sure?" ”
I raised my forehead and glanced at him, "Is anything sure?" ”
But after thinking about it for a while, I understood what he meant, and then smiled at him: "Don't worry, even if I can't save Shi Huayin, I will find a way to find someone else." However, the salary you give is too low, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to hire other people. ”
The old gentleman sighed: "This is also a helpless thing, you see, my monthly salary is only like this, and I finally saved some coffin books, but they were all cheated away by those charlatans." If Mr. Tong can cure my young master, I can transfer the villa under my name to Mr. ”
I frowned, "You mean, the haunted villa?" Did your lord really give it to you? ”
"It was indeed given to me," said the old gentleman, "and although the lord gave me that villa, although it was deliberately made for others to see, it was indeed my name on the real estate deed." It's just that I don't dare to live there, if it weren't for the fact that the old man often asked people to take care of it, the house would have been deserted a long time ago...... How did Mr. Yu know that the master gave me a villa? ”
"I naturally have my news channels. One thing I don't understand, if the place is often haunted, why would anyone want to take care of it? ”
"Those people were all invited by the old man at a high price. In order to make the house easier to sell, the old man once found a Taoist priest to do the ritual, and the Taoist priest said that as long as the people who used to take care of it left before sunset, it would be fine. ”
I asked, "Haven't there been any accidents?" ”
The old gentleman pondered for a moment before replying, "Big surprise...... I didn't go out, but half a year ago, a gardener went out to work with illness, the sun was very strong that day, he fainted due to exhaustion, and several other workers helped him to the house to rest, but when he left, he forgot to call him, and let him sleep in the villa for one night. The next day the gardener quit his job, saying that he had come across something unclean in the middle of the night. Other than this, there were no other accidents at the old villa. ”
I asked him, "What happened to the gardener?" ”
Old gentleman: "He has not been in touch with us since he resigned, and I don't know how he is now." ”
I pondered for a moment and said, "There was an accident half a year ago, and Shi Huayin also started to have problems half a year ago. Could there be any connection between these two things? ”
The old gentleman shook his head: "There shouldn't be any connection, it was the young master who had the situation first, and it took more than half a month before that incident happened." ”
I asked him, "How long has that gardener been working?" ”
The old gentleman thought for a while before replying: "It's been more than a month, in fact, most of the people hired by the master want to make a quick profit, and many of them work for a month, and leave after receiving their salary, so he has been working for a long time." Everyone knows that there has been a murder in the old villa, and there is always a bit of treachery in the house, so no one wants to stay longer. ”
I scratched my temple: "Weird? ”
The old gentleman explained: "The temperature in the house is always much lower than outside, and people who have worked there say that it is because there is dirt in the house, and the yin cannot be dispersed, so it is colder than outside." ”
I have to say that such a statement is still reasonable, the reason why the temperature of the ice room dropped sharply at night was because the yin qi inside was condensed.
I didn't think I could get anything more useful out of the old gentleman's mouth, so I asked him how to get from the airport to the sea view room.
At first, the old gentleman wanted to take me in a private car, but I refused. I also plan to go over and take a look alone, after all, I am not good at learning now, if I really encounter a powerful ghost, it will be difficult to protect myself, he will follow me, and he can only become a burden to me.
After pushing a few times, he told me that when I got out of the airport, I could take bus No. 5, transfer to No. 127 at the terminal, and finally get off at Haihai Road Station, and walk 200 meters in the right-hand direction to see the villa area.
After hastily eating the steak and drinking some thick soup, I said goodbye to the old gentleman and took the No. 5 bus to leave the airport, but instead of taking the terminal, I got off halfway and found a roadside shop to fill my stomach.
How can I eat just a steak and a mouthful of sweet soup? But the old gentleman also said that he was now short of money, and I was embarrassed to let him fill all his money into my stomach.
After I had eaten my fill, I followed the route told by the old gentleman to the coastal road.
When I got out of the car, I had already turned around, and I didn't recognize the east, west, north, and south at all, but fortunately, the old gentleman said to go in the right-hand direction, so that I would not go wrong.
The gate of the villa area is very magnificently designed, and there are three security booths alone, and there are people standing guard in front of each security booth.
When I entered the door, I asked the security guard if there was a hotel nearby, and the security guard said that this is a coastal scenic spot, there are many hotels, but most of the accommodation fees are more expensive, if you want to live cheaper, you can walk three kilometers on foot to the side of Jingzhou Road.
I thought these security guards were more honest, so I left my luggage at the security booth.
It's strange to say, when I entered the door, the security guard let me go without any obstruction, but a few more people came behind, but because they were not the head of the household, they were stopped by the security guard to register.
I just made it clear that I'm not the head of the household, so why didn't they let me register?
Before I could go far, a security guard chased after me, and I thought he was asking me to go back to register, so I smiled at him: "Do you need me to go back and register?" ”
"No," he smiled and waved at me, "You're here for that haunted mansion, aren't you?" ”
I stopped and looked at him with some curiosity: "How do you know?" ”
When I asked him this, he became a little shy: "Hehe, I just think that you are not like ordinary people." ”
"I'm not like an ordinary person? So who am I like? ”
The security guard thought for a moment and said, "You look like a tall man." Gas...... What is the anger, oh, the instrument is lofty, anyway, it is not like ordinary people. ”
Instrument Yu Xuanang? No one has ever said that about me before, and when I first heard him say that, my heart was still happy.
However, in addition to being happy, I have to admit that the old man is really powerful, and in just three months, he can reshape a person's appearance and temperament.
"But why do you keep squinting?" The security guard asked me suddenly.
This question has been almost rotten by the people in the alley lately, and I don't want to explain it, but I just ask him, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
The security guard said, "I'm just here to tell you that there will be nothing abnormal in the haunted house during the day, and there will be problems after nightfall." Recently, the young master of the Shi family has come every night, and he doesn't know what he is doing. ”
"You all know about the haunted old house?"
"I've heard it too, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
I didn't speak, just looked at him silently.
It's just a normal gaze, and I don't have any special emotions in my heart.
But he actually became nervous under my gaze, and his speech became unnatural: "Oh, don't look at me like that, the aura of people like you is too oppressive." ”
I smiled, "People like us? Looks like a lot of people like me have been here lately. ”
"No," said the security guard, "it's not the same, they just hold themselves up, put on a very deep face, I can see that you are different from them." Hey, I just wanted to ask you, you are also the person invited by the old housekeeper, right? ”
I said, "You know the old butler too?" ”
"Everyone here knows him, and I've heard that the haunted house is the property in his name. Actually, I've always thought it was strange, you say, why did the Shi family give that ghost house to their housekeeper? It is said that the relationship between the old housekeeper and the master family is not very good. ”
This sentence caught my attention: "Is his relationship with the Shi family not good?" Since it's not good, why did the Shi family still ask him to manage the housework? ”
The security guard thought for a while and said, "I can't say it either, I just think that when the master family is with him, he is always weird, and he seems to be very afraid of him." Once, I saw the housekeeper be rude to Shi Huayin. Hey, let me tell you, this old butler is not a good thing, you have to be careful. ”
As we were talking, an older security guard walked out of the security booth and shouted at us, "Xiao Liu, what are you doing?" ”
Only then did I know that the security guard in front of me was surnamed Liu.
Hearing someone calling, he was about to turn around and go back, but I grabbed him: "When did the old housekeeper be rude to Shi Huayin?" ”
He thought for a while and said, "It's been three or four years, I can't remember clearly, I remember that Shi Huayin hadn't been in high school at that time." ”
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I just think that you are different from those who came before, maybe you can really save him."
"Save whom?"
"Shi Huayin. This kid has a very good heart, and when he sees us, he also calls us uncles, and he is very pitiful......"
At this time, the person standing outside the security booth shouted again: "Xiao Liu! ”
He wanted to leave, but I still held his hand: "Are you familiar with Shi Huayin's parents?" ”
"No, they can't come twice a year and a half," he quickly replied, and said to me, "No, I have to go back, I have to stand guard at the gate today, and I can't leave the gate." ”
As soon as I let go of him, I saw him running towards the security booth while protecting the walkie-talkie on his waist.
After that, I didn't stay any longer, and walked straight to the depths of the community, seeing that it was far away from the security booth, I took out my mobile phone and dialed the phone number of Yan Yanan.
Yan Yanan has always answered the phone quickly, and before he could speak three times, her voice came from the phone: "What are you calling?" ”
Her tone was still as mean as ever, but I was used to it, so I said to her directly: "The employer of this business is indeed not Shi Huayin, but the old housekeeper next to Shi Huayin." I think there might be something wrong with this old butler, so help me check his details. ”
"If you don't, do you think I'm an intelligence agency?"
"Can you check it?"
"What kind of attitude do you have!" Yan Yanan shouted a little annoyed at first, but then sighed: "Alas, forget it, for the sake of your first time out of the list, I'll help you again." In the future, find a way to investigate this kind of thing yourself, don't trouble me all the time. When will I give you the news? ”
I said, "Tomorrow morning." ”
As soon as my voice fell, Yan Yanan hung up the phone.
