Chapter 15: Six Fingers

A few days after he recovered, Yuan Zhen introduced us to another house. This time is more special, the owner of the house personally came to the door and wanted us to buy it. I think he may be really desperate, and if this house is not sold to people like us, he will not be able to sell it at all. The person who came to us is not very old, he claims to be called Lao Liu, around 40 years old, dressed like a businessman, but he is very burly, his skin is a little dark, and he suddenly looks at the meaning of some underworld brothers, and he likes to follow the painting with his hands when he speaks, and he really has some Jianghu atmosphere, and he quoted us a price without waiting to see the house, stretched out his palm and spread it in front of me, and drew a number, and I noticed that he was a six-fingered.

The price reported to us by Six Fingers is really very low, how low it is, I can only describe it as jumping off the building and crying out for the shocking price of the house. When I heard that the price was so low, I was immediately interested. After asking Qin Yiheng, although he also felt that it was profitable, but this house was sold so cheaply, presumably the things inside were not easy to deal with. However, concerns are concerns, at least we have to look at them. So, we followed Six Fingers and boarded a flight to the city where the house was located. The round-trip tickets were all bought with six fingers, and they gave us great hospitality along the way, but they didn't mention anything about the things in the house. I felt a little inexplicable and a little uneasy. Qin Yiheng looked relaxed, and in addition to teaching some knowledge to Liuzhi along the way, he was reading the newspaper. Seeing that the two of them were chatting quite closely, I was also happy, so I put on my headphones and squinted.

When we got off the plane, Six Fingers picked up the car from the airport parking lot and sent us directly to the house. Along the way, I was thinking that the price of this house was already so low, so I didn't think about how luxurious this house was. However, it was not until I actually stood in front of it that I was amazed. This house is surprisingly large, and it is estimated that the area of this floor alone will be nearly 600 square meters. I've only seen a mansion of this size in a Hollywood movie before. The entire courtyard is located close to the top of the hill, and the whole city can be seen in the distance. The exterior wall of the villa is a little mottled, it is estimated that no one has taken care of it for too long, but it still can't hide a sense of dignity in the house itself, it is estimated that when it was built, it was also designed by a famous designer, and the style I can't call it, anyway, it is not the kind of European or French style that has fallen into the cliché. Frankly speaking, there are quite a few villas I have seen, large and small, and there is really no villa that can catch my eye so much.

Now I feel a little happy in my heart, buying this kind of house at this price is no different from picking it up for nothing. Now it depends on Qin Yiheng's attitude, as long as he says something to deal with, I am ready to sign the house immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night. It's just that when I looked at Qin Yiheng, his face was calm, and he didn't go directly into the house, but first led me and Six Fingers around the house, but didn't say anything.

Six fingers followed by the side and kept talking about how good this house was, and the stars were flying all over the sky.

I was a little annoyed when I heard it, and my heart said that you can sell it to us so well? So I simply asked the house what was going on in the house.

Six Fingers heard me ask, so he pretended to wake up from a dream, slapped his thigh violently, and told us about the house.

According to him, this house used to belong to a large family, and he didn't know much about the relevant information of the big family, he just knew that one day, a young man from this big family found him and wanted to sell it to him at a very low price. He was also speculating in real estate at that time, and there were many properties in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing, and he was a relatively famous local real estate speculator. In the face of the big fat meat that was easily delivered to the door, he was also a little apprehensive at first, but after inquiring openly and secretly for a long time, there was nothing wrong with this house, so he happily signed the transfer procedures with the young man. After signing the contract, the young man offered to stay in the house for another week, because he was preparing for the formalities of leaving the country. Six Fingers felt that he had taken such a big advantage, so he happily agreed. However, in the space of a week, the young man died in the house, and his family disappeared without explanation.

Six Fingers said that he was the first to find the body, and the scene was extremely cruel. The young man's body was dismembered into many pieces, and the entire hall was scattered to the ground. After the police came, they fought for a long time and couldn't put the body together, and the clues of the murderer had no clue, and the case kept hanging. He thought he had eaten pie from the sky, but instead he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. Fortunately, the matter of this house did not spread all over the city, and he thought that he should still be able to take a shot. But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, he waited for several months, and felt that it was almost calm, so he hung up the sales information, but no one came to see the house, not even a person who called to ask. He was really distressed at the end, because although the price he bought at that time was very cheap, the house doesn't seem to have appreciated in value now. He gritted his teeth and simply moved in by himself, so that he could be psychologically balanced.

When he first moved in, nothing strange happened, until one night when it was raining heavily, and he was lying in bed, when suddenly he heard a deafening roar, so loud that at least the whole city could hear it by the decibels. He thought it was an explosion or a thunder, so he didn't pay attention to it, and when the sound stopped, he went to sleep. However, the next day, when he asked about others, no one heard such a big movement. Six Fingers thought that the house was far away from the city after all, and there were no buildings around, and perhaps the thunder exploded not far from him at that time, so he naturally heard it very well. Unexpectedly, from that day on, he could hear such a loud roar every night, rain or shine. Now he began to be afraid, and he didn't see anything when he looked for someone to see during the day. After staying for a few more days, I really didn't dare to live anymore, so I moved out. Today, the real estate market is not very good, and there are policy restrictions, so he pondered selling the house, so he contacted us through Yuan Zhen.

After listening to the narrative of the six fingers, I couldn't help but look at Qin Yiheng. He still didn't say anything, but kept scanning the exterior wall of this house with his eyes for a long time before turning his head and telling us to go in and have a look. Six fingers saddled up and gave us two directions. When I entered the yard, I saw a lot of weeds growing on the ground, and at a glance, I knew that this house had not been taken care of for a long time, but from the layout point of view, the design was quite elegant. There's also a Greek-style statue outside, but I can't tell what it is. We followed Six Fingers into the house, and when we opened the door, we were greeted by dust. There is also a bronze statue on the right hand side of the door, which is half a person high, and I was startled by a cold look, and when I looked at it, it was actually Zhong Kui. Although I don't know much about Fang Shu, at least I still know Zhong Kui, and many people will come to the town house. Just look around, the hall is empty, except for the statue of Zhong Kui placed next to the door, which is not only abrupt, but also very weird. I saw that Qin Yiheng's expression didn't react, so I put my mind at ease and followed the six fingers around the house.

At this time, according to our previous work assignment, Qin Yiheng should have checked whether there was anything filthy in this house, but this time he didn't do that, and he followed behind me, listening to Six Fingers explain to me the layout of the house.

After turning around on the first floor, I went up the stairs to the second floor. The second floor is not as spacious as the first floor, and there are many rooms to come out. I didn't go in every single one, but just followed six fingers and casually glanced at the first bedroom of the stairs. Although there is no furniture in the room, the carpet and wallpaper are still there, and the colors are quite beautiful, but there is too much dust and it looks a little oppressive.

After simply transferring the house, I asked Six Fingers to help book a hotel, and said that we would reply to him after we went back to discuss. Six Fingers sent us to the city and got out of the car, I couldn't help but ask Qin Yiheng, why didn't you go to see if there was anything in there just now.

He said, in fact, there is really nothing to see, originally he saw that the price was so low, and thought that there must be an extremely powerful thing inside, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw a statue of Zhong Kui, presumably this house should be clean; Even if it's not clean, in broad daylight, there is Zhong Kui's town house, and you can't find anything just by looking at it.

After I heard what he said, I naturally understood a little in my heart, and the implication was that I still had to go at night. Although I had experienced this many times before, the thought of going to such a house at night made my heart beat suddenly. Maybe this house is too big and empty, I always feel that this house makes me very uneasy, but I can't say what is uneasy because of it. I asked Qin Yiheng if he could explain what the Six Fingers said was roaring.

Qin Yiheng shook his head and said that he had never heard of it, besides, this was just one side of the six fingers, maybe he was playing tricks, or he was deliberately hiding something when telling the story, because of such a big house, he pushed the price down so low, and he was in a hurry to make a move, there must be a reason for him.

I agree with Qin Yiheng's opinion. However, now it seems that if we want to understand the mystery of this house, we can only go to see it at night, so we didn't go directly back to the hotel that Liuzhi booked for us, but first inquired and went to a temple in the county town around the city, Qin Yiheng said that he would go here first to prepare things for the night.

Although the temple is not very large, it is extremely fragrant and is located on the border between the city and a surrounding county. When you enter the gate of the temple, you can see a large spray-painted sign, which is an inscription given to the temple by an important leader. Qin Yiheng led me between the two large incense burners in the courtyard and told me to just stand, don't speak, and close my eyes. Although I couldn't understand what he meant, I thought to myself that he must have his reasoning, and I thought that he should cultivate his mind in such a rare opportunity.

There was an endless stream of people offering incense around, and I was choked by the smoke as I stood between the two incense burners. After standing for almost an hour, Qin Yiheng patted me and told me that I could go. I was already full of Buddha fragrance, he smelled my clothes, said it was almost done, and took me on to prepare other things. Because after all, I also have some experience, and I can generally understand what Qin Yiheng has prepared.

It's basically the same things he used to use before, except for one more, he prepared a bell. With things ready, we simply had a meal and then sat in the restaurant until it got dark. I don't know if it's the reason why I'm nervous, but I think time flies extremely slowly. Finally waiting until 9 p.m., we started to leave.

Stopped a few taxis on the road, said where we were going, and many drivers were unwilling to take us, and finally managed to add money to convince a driver. On the way there, I asked the driver if he didn't want to go to the house for anything. The driver's answer was unexpected, saying that the house was surrounded by forbidden areas, guarded by guards, and could not drive in at all, and then it was said that something happened inside, and the guards were withdrawn, and the place was relatively partial, many drivers ran over and could only come back empty, which was not cost-effective, so no one wanted to go.

I'm curious when I hear the driver say this, was the house guarded before? Presumably, the person who lives in it is also a big man, but such a big man disappears for no reason, it should be shocking, why don't even well-informed taxi drivers know the way? Thinking about it like this, I was a little bottomless, and I couldn't help but look at Qin Yiheng. He smiled at me, not serious, and my heart relaxed.

The night view of the city is not much desirable, it is a little vulgar in color. I wanted to take this opportunity to squint in the car, but as soon as I closed my eyes, my nose was full of Buddha fragrance, which made me a little uncomfortable, so I had to stay up to the finish line.

Walking in front of this mansion again, it was not as eerie as I had imagined. Although the house in the moonlight is eerie, it looks quite peaceful.

Qin Yiheng also looked at it for a while, and told me that this house must have been seen by a feng shui master, and the location of this kind of single courtyard has been carefully selected, and the people who live in it should be prosperous in official affairs, and if they don't take the official career, eighty percent will also make a fortune. But the people inside died tragically, and in such a blessed place, they should be reincarnated with peace of mind. Unless he was too unwilling when he was killed, he would rather stay in such a feng shui treasure and be tortured than enter reincarnation.

After he finished speaking, I was thinking, people who can afford to live in such a luxurious house must have enjoyed basically everything that can be enjoyed in the world, so what else is he unwilling to do? Is it because he was too young when he died? This is a reason, anyway, the richer the person, the more afraid of death is certain. But it's a bit too much for his family to move away quietly, his own child died, not only did he not come to collect the body to worship, but just slipped away, was there something hidden at that time, this family had to go so quietly? Are they hiding from something?

Standing at the door for a moment, I thought a lot, and countless question marks popped up in my head. Qin Yiheng patted me, and then I came back to my senses and followed him into the house. That six fingers should also know that no one wants to enter this house, so he didn't even lock the door, and Qin Yiheng and I easily pushed open the door and went in. The moonlight was good that night and the visibility was good. Walking into the hall, Qin Yiheng began to take out the turtle shell and turn around, and I was smoking in place and waiting for him. When he came back, I didn't dare to reach out and touch it because of the lesson I had learned last time, but asked him how he was.

Qin Yiheng pursed his lips and said, nothing has been calculated, judging from the current situation, this house is so clean that there is not even a passing ghost. It really doesn't work, we can only try one method at a time, anyway, we have prepared in advance, and the things are more sufficient.

I don't mind if he says that, he's the one who is tired anyway. I thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that Zhong Kui was in the town house, so that thing didn't come out? I told Qin Yiheng my thoughts. He thought for a while and said that the position where Zhong Kui was placed was not a position, most of them were moved here to guard the door, as if he wanted to keep something inside and not let him go.
