By the time I woke up, it was already dawn. Qin Yiheng's bed was empty, and he didn't know where he went. When I saw that it was still early, I didn't rush to find him, but patiently lay on the bed and watched TV. It was almost noon when he returned, carrying a small sparrow with him. I wondered, what are you doing out to hunt birds in this early morning? Qin Yiheng asked me to wait patiently, and after speaking, he took a Swiss Army knife from his bag and went to the bathroom. My curiosity was piqued, and I couldn't help but look at it.

I saw Qin Yiheng disemboweling the sparrow in the bathroom, breaking his belly, and then taking out the internal organs one by one and carefully placing them on the yellow paper. The whole scene is a bit bloody, and it's really uncomfortable to see this just after waking up.

Then he took out a handful of straw from his pocket, tied a small straw man with a red rope, stuffed the entrails wrapped in yellow paper into the straw man's stomach, and finally tied a red thread around the straw man's neck and told me to tie it to my middle finger. After everything was done, Qin Yiheng told me that I didn't want to run anywhere today, so I stayed with peace of mind, don't break the line, and wait until the evening to start getting rid of the acne.

I had to carefully place the straw man on the bedside table and lay on the bed in a position similar to an infusion. Although this posture is not hard, but after a long time, the arm is still a little numb, especially when eating, because it is tied to the middle finger of the right hand, so it is extremely inconvenient to use chopsticks. But fortunately, Qin Yiheng is here, and he can help me, but it doesn't have much impact.

In this way, it finally got dark, Qin Yiheng saw that the hour was almost up, so he turned off the light in the room, asked me to get up and stand in a place where the moonlight could not shine, put the straw man under the moonlight, and then took out a piece of yellow paper, wrote my name, and told me to prick my finger, drip a few drops of blood on it, and then burn the yellow paper. In an instant, the paper burned to ashes.

I watched from the side, and I felt quite fresh, but seeing that the yellow paper was burned, my heart began to gradually become nervous, because Qin Yiheng said that there would be some hardships to eat, and I believe that pricking my fingers should not be bitter.

At first, there was nothing abnormal, and I saw that Qin Yiheng had been staring at the straw man. But slowly, I don't know if I was dazzled, and I saw that the straw man seemed to move slightly. Qin Yiheng's face also looked nervous, he also noticed the slight movement of the straw man, and immediately took out a small paper cutting blade that was ready, and asked me to stretch out my hand and stab one by one between the first and second joints of my ten fingers. Needless to say, how sharp the paper cutter was, my hands were covered with small cuts in a few clicks, and blood began to slowly flow down the knife edge.

Qin Yiheng held my hands and told me to drip blood onto the straw man. With each drop, the straw man seemed to struggle. Although he saw the red, he must have also taken the right measure, and the blood dripped for a while before stopping. But the ten fingers connected to the heart, but it really hurt me, and before I knew it, I was sweating a lot on my forehead, and when I looked down, there was already a lot of blood on the straw man.

Subsequently, Qin Yiheng took out a bundle of red thread and wrapped the paper figure like a mummy, and then ripped off the red thread tied to my middle finger, telling me that now that the pimple has been transferred to the straw man, I will leave it in the house to sleep for a night tonight, and find a time tomorrow to put it on the main road with dense traffic and let the car press for a day.

I heard him say that there was nothing wrong with him, and I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still a little afraid of the straw man, so I let him put it in the bathroom.

When he put the straw man away, he explained to me that although the sparrow is small, it is common sense, and he just used the sparrow's five organs and the paper figure to fake a me, and turned the resentment around. However, if you do this, tomorrow the straw man will be pressed on the road, and my luck will inevitably be low for a while, but if I am lucky and I am pressed by the wedding car, I can solve the bad luck, but I am afraid that the marriage family will cause some small disasters.

Things have been settled and my mood has relaxed a lot. I thought I could sleep peacefully this night, but in the middle of the night, I seemed to hear a child crying in the house. I turned to the side and saw that Qin Yiheng was also awake, he drew a gesture at me to continue sleeping, saying that it was okay, and I had to turn over and fall asleep. Although I didn't sleep well that night, I slept until dawn.

The next day, Qin Yiheng put the straw man on a road with frequent traffic according to the plan, and then discussed it with me again, thinking that we should go back to the old man's house to have a look.

I also think that I must go back, if not to see if I can find any hints from that chess game, at least I have to apologize to the old lady and say goodbye, not to mention that I still think that this house can be bought, because now that the old man's soul is gone, this business is still very cost-effective.

We went back to the old man's house, and the old lady did not blame for the disturbance that day, and still greeted us with a smile. I sat down and continued to refine the matter of signing the contract with the old lady, and Qin Yiheng went to the old man's bedroom to see if there were any new discoveries. The contract went more smoothly than expected, but unfortunately, Qin Yiheng didn't gain anything. Anyway, the matter has come to this point, although there are still too many questions to solve, but at least I can take this house, so that the twists and turns of this time are worth it. Qin Yiheng seems to be a little unwilling, but now it seems that he can only go home. So we stopped for another day, and only after signing the contract with the old lady did we get up and go back.

On the train back, I remembered to ask Liu Cripple about it, because if the address Qin Yiheng gave me was correct, and I found a fake Liu Cripple according to the correct address, there must be a big problem.

Qin Yiheng said that he had actually considered this a long time ago, so when we went back, he would go to find Liu Cripple. But now it seems that the chance of finding him is estimated to be very small, and if you think about it in a bad way, Liu Cripple is likely to have an accident.

For a person's life and death, frankly speaking, I have been dealing with ghosts and gods for so long, in fact, I can look down on a lot, but I still can't adapt to the deception between living people.

I let out a sigh of relief and prepared to go to the toilet for a cigarette. As soon as I entered the toilet, I took a few puffs of cigarettes, and the mobile phone in my pocket rang, and it was a text message. I took out my mobile phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but the content really surprised me: Yuan Zhen is not alone!

I was stunned by this text message, and after thinking about it for a while, I dialed the phone back, but it was turned off over there. This text message came from an unclear source, saying that Yuan Zhen is not a person, what does this mean? Is it to say that he is not human, or that he has a gang?

Frankly speaking, I also think that Yuan Zhen should have a team, but I haven't learned about working with him for so long, after all, we are just a cooperative relationship, and interests are the link between us. As for how he got the information about the houses for me, it has nothing to do with me.

I thought about the text message for a while, and thought it was probably a prank. Yuan Zhen is really an intermediary with great powers, but to say that he is not a human is a bit exaggerated. But before I stepped out of the toilet door, another text message came, still the same number, and the content was: You don't believe it? I'll prove it to you. This house has the answer you want inside, and the key is in the planter on the terrace. At the end of the text message is an address, the city where the house is located is a municipality, but it is far from where I am.

This text message made me even more curious, so I dialed the phone again, and it was still turned off. After two times, I realized that most of the calls were forwarded to a turned off number, so I tentatively sent a text message back to the other party: Who are you? However, the text message never came again.

Back in my seat, I was still thinking about this in my heart, and after thinking about it for a while, I felt that I should still tell Qin Yiheng. I showed him the text message, and he didn't think it was a big deal, he just said that this person was pretending to be so mysterious, just trying to lead us to the house, and if so, the house was probably a trap.

I quite agree with his analysis, the loss of the six fingers last time is still fresh in my memory, so I simply don't think about it anymore, and put on a comfortable posture to close my eyes and recuperate.

When I was about to arrive at the station, I received another text message, and I said, "It's not going to be that person, right?" Sure enough, this time it was actually an MMS message, and I clicked on it and looked at it, and my heart chuckled.

The framing and composition of the photograph are somewhat deformed, most of the frame is blocked by a black object, and only a small part can be vaguely seen as a blurry back, which shows that the photo was taken in a hurry.

I watched it for a long time, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong.

The scene in the picture seemed very familiar, I thought about it again, and suddenly reacted, this photo was taken in this train, and the back in the photo is me! This man is on this train!

I immediately stood up and looked back and forth, but the car had already entered the station, and many people were getting off the bus with their luggage, and it was impossible to find the person taking pictures, and since he dared to send it to me, he must have planned it very thoroughly, and I couldn't find him.

But who could this person be?

It is estimated that Qin Yiheng also saw that my expression was abnormal, so he asked me what was going on.

I showed him the photo, but his expression suddenly froze, and then he told me that we must go to this house. However, when I asked the reason, he didn't want to say more, but told me that this time it was probably because he knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountains, hoping that I would be mentally prepared.
