The water bottle on the table trembled, and Jiang Yajun suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. Not only was the water bottle beating, but even the incandescent lamps hanging from the beams began to sway leisurely in the air, and even he could feel that the ground under his feet began to tremble slightly.

What frightened him even more was that with the vibration, there was a whimpering sound in the compound. The voice seemed to be an old woman crying resentfully, which frightened Jiang Yajun into screaming.

His first reaction was that there were ghosts in this compound. Jiang Yajun rushed out of the compound without possession, and desperately ran towards the other brightly lit houses in the village.

But the strange thing is that the strange sound coming from the Li family's compound seemed to blow the lights-out signal, and the few lights that were still on in the village were actually extinguished at the same time, and in the entire village, only Jiang Yajun's room was still lit with a lone lamp.

Just as he was frightened, the strange whimper suddenly disappeared. Jiang Yajun was stunned and looked at the light in his window.

He didn't dare to enter the Li family's compound again, but in the dead of night and not in the county seat, could he have any other choice but to go back to the house?

After hesitating again and again, Jiang Yajun tightened his nerves and slowly paced back to the gate of the Li family's compound. He listened attentively for a while, and after making sure that there was no more terrifying sound, he had the courage to enter the Li family's compound.

The terrible strange sound disappeared, the incandescent lamp was still in mid-air, and the water bottle on the table was still placed there, which made Jiang Yajun wonder if he was too tired to have a delusion.

But a line of water on the base of the water bottle on the table was still flowing slowly, which convinced Jiang Yajun that this water bottle had really shaken just now. Could it be that there was a slight earthquake just now? Jiang Yajun tried his best to avoid the word ghost, although the earthquake could not explain the reason for the terrible cry.

After Jiang Yajun returned to the county seat to work, he took a taxi and returned to the village early, in order to find out from the villagers whether there was anything in the Li family compound.

Coincidentally, the person Jiang Yajun inquired about was the young woman I was talking to. The young woman told Jiang Yajun about the haunting of the Li family's compound, and Jiang Yajun was shocked and annoyed when she heard it.

He wanted to quit the rent, but he didn't have a phone number from the landlord. According to the young woman, in order to avoid the people who came to collect debts, Li Zhi and his wife never lived in the Li family compound since it began to be haunted, but Wang Xiuzhen came forward and came back occasionally to take care of it.

In order to get back the rent, Jiang Yajun asked the company for leave, waited for two days in a row, and finally caught Wang Xiuzhen. When Wang Xiuzhen heard that Jiang Yajun was going to quit the rent, Wang Xiuzhen immediately began to scold the people in the village for chewing their tongues, saying that her Li family compound was haunted, and Jiang Yajun refused to quit the rent.

The two quarreled like this, and after listening to the young woman's account, I finally understood the reason. But why is Li Zhi not at home? Has something happened to him? It made me feel uneasy.

Jiang Yajun excitedly took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and listened to his tone, as if he had called the police. Sure enough, in less than a cigarette, a police car without a siren drove into the car.

A policeman stepped down from the 110 car, and he shouted: "Hey, I'm Liu Yihong, the policeman here, who is Mr. Jiang who called the police just now?" ”

Seeing the police coming, the two who were arguing immediately stopped. Jiang Yajun hurriedly stepped forward, took out a cigarette and handed it to Officer Liu. Officer Liu pushed away the cigarette handed by Jiang Yajun and began to ask the reason for calling the police.

When he understood the process, he began to mediate the lease surrender dispute between Wang Xiuzhen and Jiang Yajun. Unexpectedly, in front of Officer Liu, the two still refused to give in to each other, and actually quarreled again.

Officer Liu frowned and said, "Jiang Yajun, what did you check out for?" Is it really haunted? That's too superstitious, isn't it? ”

Jiang Yajun said excitedly: "Officer Liu, I only understand now why she only charges me 2,000 yuan a year for such a large courtyard." It turned out to be haunted in this compound, and no one dared to come in and live in it if anyone knew about it. Officer Liu, if you don't believe me, how about you come and see the situation tonight? ”

Officer Liu frowned unhappily, waved his hand and said, "That's it, if you two continue to quarrel like this, when will it be a head?" You two will come with me to the police station now to sort this matter out. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yajun got into the car without saying a word, and when Wang Xiuzhen was about to get into the police car, a person suddenly ran over in a panic and grabbed her.

Wang Xiuzhen looked at it, and said in surprise: "Li Zhi, why are you back?" ”

Hearing her call out her husband's name, I couldn't help but stare at the unattractive man in front of me. But after a few glances, I wondered in my heart, with my original intuition, since Li Zhi's compound was haunted, he owed a lot of foreign debts, and he was also a person on the curse of the Yin and Yang Seven Evil Coffins, he should be a person who did not seem to be good.

But the strange thing is that although Li Zhi's appearance is a little difficult to see, he looks like an honest countryman with his expression and actions. Is something wrong with my intuition?

Officer Liu shouted: "Li Zhi, where are you kid hiding?" Just in time to come back, your daughter-in-law and the tenant quarreled, you can also go to the police station with me! ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Officer Liu, is this little thing still worth making you sad?" We'll just negotiate and solve it ourselves. ”

Police Officer Liu seemed to be interested, and he said mockingly: "Li Zhi, come on!" Your kid is notoriously afraid of his wife, and the problem now is that the tenant said that your house was haunted and wanted to quit the rent, and it was your wife who resolutely refused to return the money to stiffen down, and I want to see how you negotiate a private solution. ”

Li Zhi said 'I'm sorry' to Jiang Yajun repeatedly, blaming his wife Wang Xiuzhen for being ignorant, and not explaining the haunted compound before renting the house.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, after listening to Li Zhi's apology, Jiang Yajun's face looked much better, and he stepped down from the police car again.

What surprised me was that Officer Liu had clearly said just now that Li Zhi was a well-known person who was afraid of his wife, why did he shout loudly in front of Officer Liu and the whole village, and ask Wang Xiuzhen to agree to surrender the rent?

Wang Xiuzhen was obviously anxious, pointed at Li Zhi's nose and scolded: "Li Zhi, are you still against the sky?" It's all because of you, who killed a thousand knives, gambling all day long, and owed so many gambling debts. I finally rented out this house, and I already helped you pay off your debt for 2,000 yuan, and you still scolded me for being ignorant? ”
