He was so startled, I was almost scared to pee my pants.

Sensei said that he looked back, and he didn't even bother to look forward, so he could only stare at the ground, afraid of falling, and ran outside.

Luckily, we had already moved the furniture out of the way, and there were no obstacles when we ran.

When I was about to reach the door, I suddenly remembered that I should remind Qin Yiheng that I had seen the person on the skylight. As soon as I wanted to open my mouth, I heard a "bang" behind me, and then it clanged as if something had hit the closet.

I subconsciously looked back, and the skylight was shattered by something, and the glass shattered to the ground.

In my hurry, I couldn't look closely, and I didn't see if the person was still there.

We ran all the way until we ran a few hundred meters out of the yard and on the road. The two of them gasped a little, and I asked Qin Yiheng what happened.

He told me that now was not the time to talk about this, that we had to find a place to settle down and then think about it in the long run, and then he would knock on the door with me and see if we could stay overnight.

It took several families to find a place to live. Originally, the family didn't plan to open the door for the two of us, after all, it was late at night, and we both had foreign accents, and no one was at ease.

I don't know what other people's homes are like, but judging from the house we stayed in, the standard of living in this town is actually not high. Such a comparison makes it even more obvious that something is wrong with the house.

Entering the house, the two of them were not in the mood to sleep, I was waiting for Qin Yiheng to open his mouth, he was a person who seemed to be thinking about something.

After smoking several cigarettes, he told me: "The person who was on the skylight before is not here to harm us, on the contrary, this person is here to remind us." This person probably knew that there was something wrong in this house early on, so he wrote the soul suppression talisman on the skylight. ”

"Strictly speaking, the warning effect is far greater than the actual effect. The reason why I chose it is to warn us that there is something in this house that cannot be controlled. ”

Qin Yiheng lit another cigarette and continued: "We only paid attention to the things in the wardrobe before, and we kept ignoring what was under the wardrobe. I remembered what you had been doing just now, and I reached out and knocked on it, and found that the bottom of the wardrobe was empty. ”

Hearing him say this, I know very well, there is a door god on the wardrobe door, it seems that our previous guess was correct, there is an authentic entrance under the closet? Asked Qin Yiheng, but he shook his head and told me that he tried to distinguish it with his voice, and the empty part behind the wardrobe was not big, and it was a bit far-fetched to say that it was an authentic entrance. However, there must be some filth in it, because when he touched it with his hand, he could clearly feel that the yin qi made people uncomfortable, so he was in such a hurry to bring me out.

Things were like this, I thought about figuring out what was behind the wardrobe, and I could only wait for the day to investigate again, so I discussed it with Qin Yiheng. He disagreed, saying that since someone had already reminded him, he should not go to that place easily. When we ran out, the skylight had been broken, and I wonder if it would have any effect, but now we have to take a good night's rest, and ask the old man when we get back, and he will give an explanation.

After speaking, he also asked me: "Do you know why that old man wants us to come to see this house for no reason?" I was also confused before, but now that I think about it, I have a guess, but this speculation is outrageous, that is, the old man wants us to draw out the person who wrote the soul talisman. ”

Qin Yiheng's speculation made me completely insomnia, and after all, I still couldn't get used to the feeling of being surrounded by mysteries.

By this time, it was almost dawn.

I lay down for a long time before I could barely squint for a while, and when I opened my eyes again, I realized that I hadn't slept long.

Qin Yiheng slept very soundly, and when he woke up, the two of us went to the noodle restaurant to eat something, so he contacted the person who took us to see the room, saying that we had finished reading it and hoped that he would send us back again.

The man was still not salty, and he didn't ask anything, and after waiting for a while, he really drove over, and he didn't know where he slept at night.

There is no need to repeat it on the way back, I was a little less worried than when I came, but a little more worried.

I'm mainly worried about whether the old man can give us the truth, and I'm worried that he will cheat us again. Besides, I summed it up and found that there were so many questions to ask the old man.

asked Qin Yiheng if he had any plans, and he said that if he took one step at a time, I simply didn't want to, and let him open his mouth when the time came.

After some tossing, I finally got home, and I didn't rest much, so I took a shower at home, and called the old man according to the original contact information. Originally, I was worried that the phone was like six fingers, and I couldn't get through anymore, but the other party answered it quite happily, but it wasn't the old man himself, it was probably one of the few followers around him. I didn't say much on the phone, but said that I had finished reading the house, and now I want to discuss it with the old man. They told me to wait a few minutes, and then made an appointment to meet me at the teahouse.

Qin Yiheng and I drove straight over.

We were fast enough, but the old man arrived before us, and I was a little suspicious that he lived in this teahouse.

It's still the same room, the old man still wears the same hat, and even the three of us sit in the same position. After sitting down, the old man still didn't take the initiative to speak, and slowly drank several bowls of tea before nodding, meaning that he could talk.

Seeing the old man like this, I felt very unhappy, and it was clear that he didn't want to talk to us about business before. However, I didn't show it, I lit a cigarette and waited for Qin Yiheng to open his mouth.

Qin Yiheng was not ambiguous, and when he opened his mouth, he asked the old man directly, what was pressed under the wardrobe. He asked this question very wisely, indicating that we had already found the wardrobe, but he did not say that we had opened the wardrobe.

As a result, the old man still looked unfazed, so he replied with one word: "Well." ”

Then there was silence in the room. Qin Yiheng didn't speak, and the old man didn't say much.

After waiting for a while, Qin Yiheng asked again, "Who is that person?" ”

The old man looked at me, shook his head, and then fell silent again.

As soon as they asked and answered, they were fucking catching up with the code, and I didn't dare to interject, so I could only do it in my heart.

I was embarrassed when the old man looked at me, after all, we tossed his house into a mess, and we were a bit of a thief.

This kind of scene made people stay very uncomfortable, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I followed the old man's words and asked, "What's in the well?" ”

The old man smiled at my question, but still did not speak, but took a stack of paper from the chair next to him and handed it to me. I looked at it twice and wondered even more.

I've seen this thing too much in the past few years, this is a copy of the purchase contract, but the content of the contract has nothing to do with the old man's house, depending on the location is in another city. I've been to this city, and I used to have a house in this city.

The contract was clearly processed later, and many key parts were obscured when they were copied. I couldn't see anything special after a few glances, and when I turned to the signatory, I was stunned. The buyer's signatory is also obscured, but the seller's name is retained.

I looked at the old man, and he was looking at me.

I don't know what my expression is, I guess it's not much better, because the name on the contract is too familiar to me, it's Yuan Zhen. I handed the contract to Qin Yiheng and asked the old man what this meant. To be honest, I've tried my best to restrain my emotions, but my voice is still a little shaky.

The old man took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You worked hard before, and I won't let you suffer in vain." If you're interested, then the house on the contract is yours. ”

Qin Yiheng didn't say anything, and I didn't want to refuse immediately, but I actually had a plan in my heart, and I wouldn't touch this house no matter what.

The old man's intentions were obvious, and most of them let us go to the mines.

However, Qin Yiheng finished the contract and actually gave me a look. It seems that he is tempted. I tried to persuade him, but I couldn't open my mouth in front of the old man. Fortunately, the old man said that he wanted to go to the toilet, and I opened the door and went out, so I had the opportunity to discuss with him. Qin Yiheng said: "We still need to take a look at this house." Like the old man's previous house, although we can't figure out the old man's purpose, we are not without gains. ”

Although he is right, I still disagree. I have the impression that this is probably the first time I have refused so firmly. After going through so much, I'm really tired, and I'm almost tired of making money, and it's not necessarily true to say that the coffin board is true, even if it's true, I'd rather enjoy life in the past few years.

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say this to Qin Yiheng. All in all, I do owe him a lot, and now that I don't do it, it really hurts his feelings a little.

When he saw that I refused, he didn't say much, just nodded.

When the old man returned, he wrote down the exact address of the house, and told the old man that we should go back and discuss, and then we would say goodbye to the old man.

The old man didn't mean to send us, if you want to say that you want to send it, you can barely see it.

Out of the teahouse, I just want to go back and get a good night's sleep. To be honest, I don't know what's wrong with me, probably because people have been strained for a long time and are already overwhelmed. It suddenly dawned on me that a lot of things didn't matter.

It's a bit like you've been running a marathon, and at some point, you suddenly don't want to go to the finish line, and you don't care how bad the result is, no matter how many people overtake you.

On the way back, I asked Qin Yiheng what he had asked only a few questions, and we didn't get any information except for a well.

He said that asking is also a vain question, and if we want the old man to speak, we must have the chips he wants to exchange. And when we talked, all the cards had been revealed, but the old man was not interested at all.

I asked Qin Yiheng again what was going on with the well. On the way back by car, he talked about it and said that this well has been an important part of people's lives since ancient times. After all, not all homes are close to the river, and if you want to get water, you have to dig wells. Many large households have their own wells, and ordinary people share a well with dozens of households.

Because of the importance of wells, there have been many theories about wells since ancient times. First of all, this well is drilled to the ground, many people think that the ghosts, snakes, and gods in the underworld can crawl out of the well to harm the world, which is why when the plague broke out in ancient times, many people would mistake it for the well water, so that the well would be sealed.

Moreover, in the folk customs of some places, when there is no need to draw water, the well rope should be placed outside the well, and it cannot be hung in the well all the time, which is also for fear of any filth climbing up along the well rope.

I believe that many people will hear in stories or rumors that there will always be some people who choose to commit suicide by throwing themselves into a well, or innocently falling into a well to their death. In the so-called superstitious saying, this is called filling in the gap, which is actually similar to the water ghost looking for a stand-in, but the gap filled is not the filth in the well water to find a stand-in, but the gap that balances yin and yang. To put it simply, it's a bit like the wellhead has a certain suction for the soul, so many people with very low luck or suicidal thoughts will always go there by surprise.

Because of this, people will have a trace of reverence for the well, so in many areas, there will be some objects hanging in the well. These objects are not to ward off evil spirits, and are generally a small person who bows down or makes a bow, but it is not excluded that there are other things to replace them, which is called "gong" in the jargon of Fangshu, which takes the literal meaning of respect. Later, with the improvement of living standards, many places no longer eat well water, and this "Gong" needs to be put in by people who know how to put it in person, so except for some old people, there are not many people who know the Tao.

Whether this "Gong" has any effect or not, Qin Yiheng said that he doesn't know the Dao, but "Gong" has another purpose in Fangshu. According to legend, the "gong" from the dried well is taken out and hung on the saddle, so that when walking at night, it will not be shouted or tricked by the ghosts. Because of this, he had the privilege of seeing one with his own eyes earlier. The Gong he saw was not pretty, in his words, a bit like a deformed Ronaldo.

Moreover, many wells that are about to dry up are the easiest to swallow. Many wells appear to be distinctly clear and abundant, but they dry up without warning, and the only thing that can be detected is that they will inevitably kill a few people before they dry up, as the older generation is said to know.

Qin Yiheng said so much, to be honest, I didn't actually listen much, and it has become a habit for me to ask questions.

I thought about it for a moment, if according to what he said, the old man hid a well in front of his house, could he be hiding the corpse? That's why there is yin qi dissipating inside? Or maybe you really want to bring something out of the underworld? If that's the case, it's fucking too big.
