Chapter 61: Late Night Firelight

"What are they going to burn paper for?" Li Bai said in surprise.

"Maybe it's to go to the back mountain to worship your relatives, have you forgotten? There are many graves on the hill behind it. Jin Guo said.

"Well, it makes sense, I thought they were ...... just now" Li Bai felt that he was thinking too much.

Uncle Li, who was sitting quietly smoking, had not spoken since Lei Baoquan had been talking about the visitors just now, and when he heard that they were going to buy burning paper, he frowned slightly, and suddenly said, "I think it's better for you to pay more attention." ”

"Uncle, what do you mean?" When Li Bai heard what Uncle Li said, his heart was a little flustered.

Uncle Li looked at Li Bai's appearance and said with a smile: "Don't make a fuss, just let you pay more attention, there are not many people who want to buy burning paper at this time." ”

Time passed quickly, it was more than eight o'clock in the evening in a blink of an eye, it was completely dark, Lei Baoquan and a few people finished eating, watching TV in the house, and the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Come on, come on, taste the apples and grapes you just bought in the afternoon." The little fat man walked in with a plate of apples and grapes.

As soon as everyone saw the fruit, they immediately burst into joy.

"Okay, fatty, you can be a man." Lei Baoquan boasted.

"Deliver fruit at the hotel, shouldn't this be?" Li Bai picked up an apple and was about to nibble on it.

"You put it down for me!" The little fat man said unhappily, "I'm kind enough to bring you some fruit, but you still don't appreciate it, I bought it out of my own pocket." ”

"Okay, okay, you're amazing, you're righteous, right?" Li Bai hurriedly echoed a few words, and then he ate the apple.

"You didn't send some to the two guys who just came?" Uncle Li suddenly asked.

"No, I'm not really staying in the hotel to deliver fruit, who will send it to people I don't know? However, just now these two people went out mysteriously. The little fat man said as he ate.

"Out? What time is it? "Lei Baoquan is strange.

"It's only past eight o'clock, and it's not too late." Li Bai looked at his watch and disagreed.

"But this is not Yungang City, where else can I go after dark?" Lei Baoquan said.

Everyone thought, yes, in this town, there is no nightlife after dark, and every family basically closes the curtains to eat or sleep.

"Don't think about it, maybe people have gone out to buy something." Jin Guo said something that everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Bai nodded and felt that this was the case, and then walked to the window while eating apples and looked out, and said, "You said that if you live in this small place for a lifetime, it will be very boring." ”

Before anyone else could answer, Li Bai shouted again: "You guys come and see?" Who's burning something? ”

Everyone was startled, and they all went to the window to look out, only to see two figures on the side of the road directly opposite the hotel gate, and in front of the figures was a burning fire. The faces of the two people in the firelight were bright, and they were the man and woman who had just moved in.

When everyone looked closely, the two people downstairs suddenly looked at the window as if they had a sense, their expressions were wooden and even a little weird. Li Bai gasped and shouted, "This... What's going on? ”

"Are these two people sick? You can't burn paper for your ancestors at other intersections, what kind of burning at the door of the hotel, if it's windy, even the house can be lit. I'll have to go down and talk about them. With that, the little fat man turned around and was about to go downstairs.

"Wait." Uncle Li suddenly stopped the little fat man.

Everyone was puzzled and looked at Uncle Li. I saw Uncle Li look at the situation downstairs, and silently calculated in his heart, and said: "These two people are not simple, this is not an ordinary ancestor worship, this is burning for the people in the building." ”

"The people in the building? Aren't we the only ones in this building? You mean...... Are they burning paper for us?! Li Bai was startled again.

Uncle Li shook his head helplessly and said, "Isn't there still that girl?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot. Then they ......"

Uncle Li didn't panic, pointed out the window, and said to everyone: "You see, these two are burning paper in front of the gate, obviously treating this hotel as a big tomb, but there are no sacrifices, which means that they are not prepared, or they are not deliberately prepared, but they are only for some reason why they suddenly want to burn paper." ”

"Suddenly?" Jin Guo did not understand.

"In short, since they are here, they have a purpose, we might as well find out." Uncle Li said slowly, "Don't let them burn it yet." ”

"Okay, let's go down now." After the little fat man finished speaking, he ran downstairs with Li Bai and Jin Guo, and Uncle Li and Lei Baoquan also went downstairs with him.

"Hey, I said you, what are you doing at night?" The little fat man shouted as soon as he went out.

When the two people on the other side saw someone coming out, their faces were a little flustered, and they hesitated for a long time without speaking.

"Tell me about you! What for? What kind of paper is burned here? As he spoke, the three of them had already walked up to the two of them, and the little fat man had someone to accompany him, and asked confidently.

"I... We're burning some paper for our families here, and it's so far away from your shop that it shouldn't affect you, right? The woman's face was still pale, and her tone was weak.

"How can it not be affected? It's burning right in front of our gate, do you know how bad it is? The little fat man showed no weakness.

"We won't pick a place either, sorry, it's going to burn out soon, just wait a little longer." The man looked very calm.

"I suggest you pack up now, and don't wait for us to help you." Jin Guo said.

The two showed embarrassed expressions, Lei Baoquan stood behind the three people for a while, and when he saw that these two people had something unspeakable, he said, "What is the matter with you?" ”

The two of them glanced at Lei Baoquan, who was standing behind, and looked at each other, and the man said, "I... I don't understand what you mean? ”

"I ask you why you burn paper here at night?" Lei Baoquan took out the aura of a policeman.

The woman was obviously stunned, and said with some trembling, "I... We just burned some money for our family, no... For no reason. ”

When the two sides were talking to each other, suddenly a basin of water poured down, directly dousing the fire with only a wisp of white smoke. This sudden surprise startled everyone, and when they looked back, it turned out to be Uncle Li.

"You said you talk so much nonsense, and when you are done, the fire will be burned out." Uncle Li said disgustedly.

When the man and woman saw that the fire was extinguished, they became anxious and cried out, "What are you doing?" ”

Uncle Li glanced at them and said, "Didn't you all see what I was doing?" But what you're doing, we don't know. ”

Uncle Li's words made the two speechless, and they lowered their heads silently.

"Tell me, who told you to do that?" A smile appeared at the corner of Uncle Li's mouth, as if he had seen through everything.

"No... No one. The man looked at Uncle Li, and he was a little nervous.

"Let's talk, let me tell you, this Uncle Li is a god man, no matter whether it is personnel or ghosts, he can solve it." Li Bai lost no time in saying.

"Hell... What the hell? The woman repeats as if she had been electrocuted.

Everyone was surprised, the man quickly comforted her when he saw this, turned his head and said to Uncle Li again: "Old man, is what he said true?" ”

"Yes, but it's not that evil." Uncle Li said with some pride.

"Sir, please save my wife!" The man suddenly pleaded.

"Huh? What's the situation? The little fat man said with a glare.

"My wife, she... She was haunted by ghosts. The man said.
