Under the persuasion of Li Bing and others, the woman's anger subsided slightly. Xiaoqiu opened the door of the room and let her in.

It was only under the mediation of everyone that the woman voiced her suspicions, and she thought that Xiaoqiu might be the junior raised by her husband Wang Erbaobao.

Xiaoqiu shouted that she was wronged, and the woman said, "What evidence do you have that you don't matter?" This house has been empty for several years, and others pay a high price, and he neither sells nor rents it, so why is it rented to you alone? ”

Xiaoqiu shouted again and justified in every possible way. When Wang Erbao's wife learned that Xiaoqiu had only lived in for less than a week and did not know Xiaoqiu before renting the house, she became puzzled and no longer scolded Xiaoqiu.

She said with a calm face: "Xiaoqiu, since you are not a junior, I will believe you for the time being, and don't have more contact with our old Wang in the future." ”

Xiaoqiu said aggrievedly: "Boss, I won't rent here anymore, I want to move out tomorrow, can you discuss and return some of my rent?" ”

The proprietress was surprised: "You don't want to move just because I just said a few words, do you?" Or have you been planning to move for a long time? By the way, it seems that you have found another good place, these people are here to help you move, right? ”

Li Bing hurriedly said: "Boss, you misunderstood, we are not a group of Xiaoqiu movers." He pointed to Zhang Yuanshan and said, "My friend is a Taoist priest, because he heard Xiaoqiu say that this room is not clean, so he specially came to see what was going on." ”

The proprietress looked stunned and said, "What? You say it's not clean in this room? Don't talk nonsense, if it gets out, who will buy or rent my house in the future? ”

Xiaoqiu saw that the proprietress was angry, so she had to bite the bullet and describe the strange things that happened after she moved in. The proprietress looked uncertain when she heard this, and looked at everyone with a questioning look.

Zhang Yuanshan brought a bowl of water from the kitchen, and in the puzzled eyes of everyone, he took out a piece of talisman paper and burned it on the water.

Zhang Yuanshan stretched out a finger, stirred the ashes in the clear water a few times, and then took a big sip, took it in his mouth, and suddenly spewed a fine mist into the ceiling.

After the mist cleared, everyone was surprised to find a large footprint faintly appearing on the ceiling. The footprints were in a circle, as if someone had stepped on the ceiling in a clockwise direction.

Wang Erbao's wife suddenly turned pale with fright, and she said in surprise and fear: "Are you really a Taoist priest?" Where did these footprints come from? ”

Zhang Yuanshan said seriously: "This is a ghost left in the room, and he doesn't know that he is dead." Because his seven souls and six souls are uneven, and he doesn't know where his body is buried, he becomes an unconscious ghost. Although he doesn't hurt people, the sound of his footsteps can frighten people. ”

Wang Erbao's wife's face twitched for a while, and she said in fear: "Daochang Zhang, please think of a way to get this ghost away!" I have to ask you for one more thing, don't spread the haunted things in this house, otherwise my house will really become a haunted house, and I can't deal with it. ”

Zhang Yuanshan said lightly: "Don't panic, I have to open the altar first, let the ghost understand that he is dead, let his soul return to the underworld, and only then can peace be restored." ”

After Zhang Yuanshan finished speaking, on the table in the middle, spread a yellow cloth and put incense candles. He drew his peachwood sword, muttered words in his mouth, and danced around the room for a while.

Zhang Yuanshan suddenly put away the peachwood sword and sat cross-legged in front of the incense case, his eyes closed. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Okay, it's okay, there will be no footsteps of ghosts walking at night here in the future." ”

Li Bing was surprised and asked, "Brother Zhang, how can there be ghosts in this house?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan said: "This ghost claims to be Zhang Qiang, and he used to be the construction worker when this building was built. He didn't know that he was dead, he went around like this every day, just waiting for his co-worker Wang Erbao to come to work together. ”

Wang Erbao's wife suddenly opened her frightened eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "...... What did you say? His name is Zhang Qiang? ”

Zhang Yuanshan nodded, looked at Wang Erbao's wife and said, "He mentioned your husband, so he must know you too, right?" ”

Wang Erbao's wife cried bitterly all of a sudden and told everyone about the past.

Back then, Wang Erbao and Zhang Qiang were a pair of inseparable good friends, both of them did mud work and often went out to work together. When the complex was built, they worked on the site.

Wang Erbao's wife is called Gao Sulian, and she and Zhang Qiang have established a relationship. The two planned to get married in the second half of the year, but one day, Zhang Qiang suddenly disappeared.

According to the recollection of the worker, on the day of Zhang Qiang's disappearance, he and Wang Erbao were still building the floor together. Because the two of them were small foremen, in order to make more money, they naturally worked harder.

The workers had gone to eat, but only the two of them were still building the last slab. When the workers came back from their lunch break, they were surprised to find that a floor slab had fallen and smashed on the ceiling on the second floor, and Zhang Qiang didn't know where to go, only Wang Erbao was busy.

When Wang Erbao saw everyone coming back, he hurriedly asked everyone to help and re-lay the floor slab. Everyone saw that during their meal time, Wang Erbao and Zhang Qiang had already done a lot of work, and the building was basically completed.

Wang Erbao then asked, did you see Zhang Qiang? He said that when he and Zhang Qiang were working, the floor slab accidentally fell down. Zhang Qiang was very discouraged, got down from the scaffolding silently, and walked outside the community.

Since then, Zhang Qiang has disappeared. The police came to investigate several times, but they could not find any clues, and Zhang Qiang was listed as a missing person.

When Gao Sumei was sorting out Zhang Qiang's belongings, she occasionally found a huge insurance policy he had insured, and the beneficiary on it was his own name. Zhang Qiang sandwiched a note in the insurance policy, revealing his sincere love for Gao Sumei. He said that he was just a mason, and he didn't have a lot of money to bring Gao Sumei enough material comforts, and said that he often worked at heights to prevent accidents, and bought a huge amount of personal safety insurance, in case of an accident, this insurance money was enough for Gao Sumei to enjoy for a lifetime.

Since two years have passed since Zhang Qiang's disappearance, the police station has characterized Zhang Qiang as a deceased person. Gao Sumei naturally received a large amount of insurance money.

During this period, Wang Erbao, out of deep affection between brothers, gave Gao Sumei meticulous care after Zhang Qiang's disappearance. The hearts of the two underwent subtle changes, and finally got a marriage certificate, and the smart-minded Wang Erbao also made a fortune with the money in Gao Sumei's hand.
