Chapter 26: The Chess Game

Liu's lame proposal is really worth a try, but I still have a lot of bottom in my heart, if something goes wrong, the lives of both of us will be in suspense. I think he'll be the one to execute it anyway, so I'll let him give it a try. I actually have selfish intentions when I think so, in case he succeeds, I will take this house without much effort; In case he didn't make it, it wasn't me who caused the trouble, so I hesitated for a moment and agreed. As soon as the two of us told the old lady our thoughts, she was quite supportive, and Liu Lame and I made an appointment with her to come back in the evening, and then got up to say goodbye.

Returning to the hotel is nothing more than time-consuming, and there is nothing to prepare. We casually dealt with some food, and when the time was almost up, we returned. Liu lame instructed the old lady in advance, saying that no matter what movement happened in the house at that time, she would not come in, for fear that it would really be the old man's soul that would appear, and she would rush in by mistake, which would mess up the old man's spirit and make trouble.

After waiting for a while and settling the old lady into place, Liu Cripple and I closed the bedroom door and laid out the chess set. To be honest, I didn't want to wade into this troubled water, although Liu Cripple wanted to satisfy his own curiosity, but after all, he was also doing things for me, and I had to accompany him no matter what reason.

At nightfall, time passed quickly, but we waited for a long time, and there was no movement in the house. At first, I was still a little scared, but after a while, I was able to live in peace. Seeing that it was not possible to wait so much, Liu Cripple asked me if I had anything on my body to ward off evil spirits, which washed the yin qi in this room, so that the old man could not show up.

I flipped back and forth, but I didn't find anything. Liu lame felt very strange and asked me, is it that the two of us are too yang? Why don't you get out of the way and hide for a while?

I wish he had this proposal, just to stay away from this place of right and wrong. Just wanted to leave, Liu Cripple said again, forget it, if something happens, there is not even a person to help. We thought about it again and again, and Liu Cripple actually proposed to me to hide under the bed.

The bed in the bedroom is a high bed, and there is a lot of space under the bed, so if you hide from someone, it's no problem to turn over or something, but there is a lot of dust. I crouched down and looked at it, and felt that his proposal was not reliable at all, but I would say that if I can't go in, the two of us can't wait like this forever. I thought that I would go in and make a show, so that I would have the confidence to persuade him to give up in the end.

So, I picked up a few newspapers from the house, laid them out briefly, and got in. As soon as I lay down, my vision immediately became narrow because of the bed, and I could only see Liu Cripple's two little legs walking around the room, not knowing what the road was touching.

After a while, I heard some strange movements in the house, and I carefully discerned it, but I couldn't hear what it was coming from, only that Liu Cripple was still walking around the house.

Immediately after, I inexplicably began to get nervous, and after looking at it for a while, I suddenly felt as if something was wrong, but I couldn't say it, so I had to concentrate on watching Liu's lame leg walk faster and faster in the room. Suddenly, I noticed a problem - Liu's lame foot didn't seem to be lame at all!

At this moment, my scalp was a little numb instantly, but it was not easy to show it, so I could only tense my body and try to breathe flat. I came all the way with Liu Cripple before, even if I didn't pay attention to it, but I saw him walking with a limp, why did his feet suddenly get better at this time? Could it be that he had been pretending to be before? But if it's pretended, I'm obviously still in this room, why doesn't he continue to act?

I tried to calm down a bit, but suddenly another thought came to me and startled me. The old lady mentioned before that the old man of her family would pace back and forth in the bedroom in the middle of the night, could it be that Liu Cripple had just been accidentally picked up?

Now I'm even more at a loss, I want to go out to save him, and I don't have the ability, I'm afraid I'll die in vain, but don't go out of Lu, he's finished, don't say it, do I want to stay under the bed with this evil thing like this?

Just as I was hesitating, Liu Cripple suddenly stopped. However, to say that he stopped, he was only sure that his footsteps had stopped, and I didn't know what he was busy with. Liu Cripple stood in front of the bed, as if he was pondering something, and then, I watched his body slowly squat down.

I was so nervous that I was suffocating, and it would have scared me to death if I had seen a face that wasn't his. Luckily, he was just a cat bending over, as if he had picked something up from the floor. It's so small that I can't see it clearly. Then, Liu Cripple walked to the side of the chess, because the room was extremely quiet, I could hear the sound of him slowly putting down the chess pieces, he was playing chess? I turned to the side to see what was going on on his side, but my vision was still extremely limited.

Liu's lame chess seemed to be played very leisurely, but I still kept breaking out in a cold sweat, resting my head on my arm, and feeling that my heart had jumped to my ears. I immediately changed my posture, because Qin Yiheng said before that if you hear the sound of heartbeat appearing in other parts of your body, such as fingers, ears, arms and other parts, it is the time when your soul is the most unstable, and it is easy to be hooked.

After ten minutes, Liu Lime got up, turned on the light, and called me out. His voice was the same, but I could see it under the bed just now, and there was no problem with his feet, so I still had to be careful. But after thinking about it, even if I don't go out, if he wants to harm me, I basically won't run away, so it's better to go out first to see what's going on.

So, I climbed out of the house, and saw that nothing had changed in the room, except that the pieces on the chessboard had indeed been moved. I don't know if Liu Dao played chess with the old man just now, and his expression didn't look like there was some conspiracy brewing, so I tried to ask him how he was doing.

Liu lame spread his hands, saying that he had been turning for a long time, and he had not seen the old man come out, he felt that if he moved the chess pieces, the other party would appear, but he finished playing the chess alone, and the house was still safe and sound, and he had to give up after the worst. After listening to him, I went to look at the chess again, and the red disc was eaten cleanly, and the situation was already dead. I couldn't help but be even more suspicious in my heart, but I didn't dare to tear my face immediately and question Liu Cripple, so I could only think about going back first, and then make plans when I saw Qin Yiheng.

I offered to talk to the old lady and we would go back to the hotel. Liu lame nodded, said that he could only do this, and opened the door first. I was about to leave when I heard something fall on the floor, and when I looked down, it was actually a chess piece. To my surprise, I was not scared at this time, but was very curious to pick up the chess piece. Before I could take a closer look, there was a sudden noise outside the house, and the old lady's screams were crisp, so I casually put the chess pieces in my pocket and hurried out of the house.

It was only a few steps from the bedroom door to the living room, but because of the type of apartment, I couldn't see the living room directly from the bedroom door. By the time I got out of the room, the old lady was the only one left in the living room. I hurriedly asked the old lady what was wrong, and I guess she was so scared that she wanted to speak but couldn't. The more she is like this, the more anxious I become, so I don't wait at all, I just chase after Lu first, presumably Liu Cripple must be outside.

However, when I chased outside, I didn't see any trace of Liu Cripple, but saw Qin Yiheng holding a flag-like thing with his back to me, panting heavily. I went over and asked him what was wrong, but he didn't answer, but went straight to the old man's bedroom. It was only by the light that I could see that what he was holding in his hand was actually a spirit flag. This kind of flag is usually held high in front by the eldest son at the time of funeral, so that the deceased relatives can remember the road from home to burial; The second is also to give a warning to the little ghosts passing by, telling the other party that the family is deceased and not to embarrass the family on the road. However, Qin Yiheng is holding this thing now, and I can't figure out what it means. Since we have known each other, we have never heard him talk about his family, could it be that this time he didn't meet me on time because there was a change in the family?

Thinking like this, I wanted to go up and comfort him, but he didn't pay attention to me, just walked around the house, and suddenly turned back to me and said, Damn, he took it away!
