Chapter 9: The Door That Can't Be Opened
This feeling is really depressing, I want to speak but I still have to hold my voice, I can only keep swallowing. After a while, I saw the sheepdog, who had slept soundly, suddenly stood up, tilting his head to wonder what he was looking at. Suddenly, there was a real knock on the door, and even though I was mentally prepared, I was taken aback.
Qin Yiheng was very calm, and drew a "shhh" gesture with his hand. The knock on the door was not as loud as I expected, and it seemed to be knocking very gently, and the person knocking on the door seemed to be very elegant. I stared at the sheepdog, but the sheepdog didn't bark, and even Qin Yiheng was stunned. I quickly looked down and was really startled. Because he really didn't pay attention just now, Qin Yiheng's mobile phone didn't know when the connection was disconnected. At this moment, the shepherd dog suddenly opened his mouth, and my heart was half cold when I heard it. Because it was a half-grown dog, and it was not an adult, the barking was too immature, and the chilling thing for me was that the shepherd dog was not barking at the door, but at the bedroom where the man had hanged himself.
Seeing this, Qin Yiheng slapped his thigh and said Oh no, let's estimate wrong, damn, it's not that he wants to come in when he knocks on the door every night, it's that he wants people to open the door and let him out, there is a mezzanine inside this door, and there is definitely a problem with this house!
I said don't shout, hurry up and say what to do, it's all a mess.
After listening to this, Qin Yiheng took out a handful of soybeans from his bag and asked me to clench them with my left hand. We're already here, so let's see what the hell it is.
I was completely confused with such a toss, but since Qin Yiheng said that he couldn't run, I could only hold on. The shepherd dog was still barking, and I wondered why the neighbors around me hadn't come to warn us not to disturb the people, so could it be that this was the haunting of the house.
Just thinking about it, I really felt cold. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, with Qin Yiheng by my side, I was very sober, and immediately sprinkled a few soybeans out of the gang. Originally, I only wanted to sprinkle one grain, but I was so nervous that I couldn't control the strength.
Sprinkle this one, and the feeling of something approaching me disappears. This feeling came two or three times after that, and each time I sprinkled the soybeans in the same way. There are not many soybeans in my hand, and when I wanted to ask Qin Yiheng again, the shepherd dog suddenly stopped barking.
Seeing this, Qin Yiheng and I both stood in place for a while before we dared to move.
I asked him why he couldn't feel anything when something came in just now.
Qin Yiheng said that he didn't know what to do, and said that he was afraid that it had something to do with the layout of this house. If you want to figure it out, you have to open up the decoration of the house, and you may be able to find the answer. We calmed down for a while, and Qin Yiheng took the lead to go to the bedroom to take a look. I followed in and found that nothing had changed in the bedroom, my phone was still in its original location, but it had been turned off. I turned on my phone again and found that there was still quite a bit of battery left. I've seen it countless times in horror movies that dirty things can affect electronic devices, but I've never seen anything like this in my life before, and I can't assert that it was that thing that affected me this time, because it's possible that the mobile phone system is malfunctioning.
After getting the phone back, nothing happened that night, and the knock on the door stopped abruptly when the sheepdog's barking stopped.
Qin Yiheng and I stayed until dawn before returning to the hotel, and we both chatted about the events of the night and made all kinds of speculations along the way. In fact, he was just speculating, and I was just following the discussion.
Qin Yiheng guessed that this room was probably manipulated by a master when he was decorating, so the male owner has been trapped in the room after his death and can't get out, unable to reincarnate, and he always repeats the process of death at the time of his death. Qin Yiheng said that this kind of thing is unlikely to harm people, but he feels very wronged every day, and if someone moves in, the owner of the house will get sick over time. As for why the man hanged himself, we don't know.
It's not the most important place for us either, because we're here for the value of the house. Qin Yiheng said that the current situation will definitely not solve the problem, unless we buy the house and get rid of all the wallpaper and decoration things, maybe we can find the answer. Actually, I'm really interested in buying this house, but now it seems that there is indeed a certain risk. Because even if you buy the house, there is a good chance that the matter will not be solved. However, I also agree with Qin Yiheng's suggestion to buy it, after all, I am also curious. In this way, the two of us summed it up, and felt that we could lower the price with the hostess again, and if the price was right, we would buy it.
After a tiring night, we slept straight into the afternoon, and we found the hostess, and I took some trouble to finally push the price down to an ideal price. After signing the contract, Qin Yiheng and I went back to the hotel to rest, and decided to call a group of workers to get the house the next day.
The next day, Qin Yiheng first sold the dog back to the pet store at a discount, and then pulled four workers over to work. Single-handedly went straight to the ground, went in and first demolished the wooden door of the house, and made such a bold split, and sure enough, he found something strange. The wooden door should be specially custom-made, with a layer sandwiched between the boards. I touched it with my hand, it wasn't very hard, and it was a bit textured. Qin Yiheng put it under his nose and sniffed it for a long time, then looked at it for a while, and told me that this was probably made with cinnabar, donkey glue, sawdust, and some unknown things. If he was not mistaken, the sawdust must have been made by grinding wood from a roller for many years. The wheel runs according to a trajectory all year round, and with the popularity of contact, in some theories it is said that it can ensure reunion. In doing so, one of them is to ward off evil spirits, and the most important thing is to keep the husband and wife in harmony. If you look at the current situation, I'm afraid that the transformation of this door should be done by one of their husband and wife, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating and let the man be trapped in the house.
Then, we knocked on the wallpaper and the ceiling one after the other, but we didn't find anything new. After the last, Qin Yiheng left the doors and windows wide open, let the wind go for a few days, and said that the male owner should leave on his own. Although Qin Yiheng said that there was nothing wrong, I always remembered the male protagonist in my heart, and he committed suicide in a good manner, which is really a mystery.
Qin Yiheng said that many things have their fixed number, many people who commit suicide or have been ill for a long time will choose to die on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, most people will think that this is a coincidence, in fact, otherwise, to say a little deeper, this has something to do with life, Yang Shou or something, to put it shallowly is the common saying, King Yan wants you to die three more, dare not keep people to five more. Moreover, he made the bold assumption that if he had not missed that night and scared the thief down, perhaps the thief would have killed their whole family by coming to their house to steal. From the point of view of numerology, there is a certain reason for everything, and perhaps, this is the choice of the male protagonist in the dark. In other words, it may also be that the psychology of putting people after death has been greatly affected, and over time depression has become an illness and misanthropy. But he chose to die on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I'm afraid it's really a mistake, firecrackers are evil spirits, every family wears red and hanging colors, if there is no little ghost to lead the way, the male owner may really not find the door of reincarnation.
I didn't make any money from this house. After a month, I asked an agent to rent it to a few college students who were preparing for graduate school together, and only charged a very low price. At that time, I also directly told them that there had been a death in this house, but I had already asked a master to do the law. Fortunately, these college students were not afraid, but they lived happily one by one. I seemed to understand something after this incident, but when I thought about it, I didn't come up with any reason. In short, this house matter is over. Then, the business of the two of us was delayed for a short time, and we didn't receive a house after more than ten days. This is mainly because Yuan Zhen went out of the country for some reason, so there has been no news of the new house. Fortunately, the small business we started together has also started to take off, and we don't feel so empty when we are busy. When Yuan Zhen came back, we took over the next house.
