Chapter VIII High-level

After that, the first house we bought was a new house, and the people who lived in it had only been in the house for a few months, and everything was normal before. This is a high-rise building with a total of 28 floors. The house I'm talking about is on the 20th floor, which is a very high location.

It's also bizarre, at first there was a thief who fell from the building and died. The reason why the thief fell from the building is also very coincidental, he didn't know how to climb out of the window on the 20th floor, probably trying to climb into a high-rise house to steal, but by mistake, the resident on the 20th floor opened the window and unintentionally pushed him down. When the police came, they decided that it was a thief who wanted to steal, so the matter was closed, and the family was not responsible.

It is worth mentioning that the family did not know about the thief when he fell. According to my speculation, the thief was frightened when the man suddenly opened the window, it was winter, the weather was cold, and the human limbs were very stiff, and he may have slipped down. The next morning, someone went downstairs to see the thief's body, which had fallen terribly. According to the residents on the ground floor of the building, if they didn't look closely, they thought they had broken a watermelon.

But not long after the incident, the man mysteriously hanged himself, and died without any warning. Most importantly, the day he chose to hang himself was the Chinese New Year's Eve, a happy day for his family. It is said that when he was watching the Spring Festival Gala, he told his family that he had something to do and was going to change his clothes and go out, but he hanged himself in the bedroom.

However, things didn't stop. The man's wife and a younger daughter reported hearing the man's return knock on the door every day. I believe many people have felt this way, you can hear the footsteps of a very familiar person, and you can hear the car of a good friend of yours passing under your house. So the man's wife and daughter have always concluded that it was the man who knocked on the door.

The knocking on the door continued for several days, and the man's wife and daughter were not afraid at first, but missed him even more. In the beginning, I would open the door every time, hoping to see the ghost of the man, but I couldn't see anything. Then, when the two of them heard the knock on the door again, they could only silently shed tears. Later, when the grief of the man's wife and children gradually dissipated, they began to be afraid, so they moved to live in their mother's house, and the house became empty. Because the rumor that the man would come knocking on the door every night had long since spread, no one dared to rent it.

Qin Yiheng and I rushed over when we received the news from Yuan Zhen. This house is not very close, but because it is a newly built high-rise residence, there is a lot of room for appreciation and potential, and both of us are very tempted. Although the middle road is long, there are direct flights, so when you go, it only increases the cost of travel and does not waste much time.

We contacted the man's wife through the contact information given to us by Yuan Zhen. This is a young woman who still has charm, she has very few words, and after talking about the price briefly, she has been keeping her head down and listening to my nonsense.

I don't really want to be a gossip either, but haggling is a must. In order to maximize profits, I can only keep saying how scary and dangerous this house is. Helplessly, she didn't answer, and I could only shut up and go to see the house with Qin Yiheng before making plans.

This house is not small, the decoration is also very stylish, about 140 square meters, there are balconies in front and back. It's just that it hasn't been inhabited for a long time, and a lot of dust has fallen on it. Qin Yiheng went to check what was in this house as usual, while I stood there and chatted with the hostess. Normally, Qin Yiheng can finish the transfer in only ten or eight minutes when he enters the house, but this time it is very abnormal, and he hasn't finished reading it in almost twenty minutes.

I kept giving him a look, and he looked at me, but he just pouted, and at last I couldn't help it, so I made an excuse to drag him to another room and ask him what was the matter.

Qin Yiheng's brows were twisted together, and he told me that this house had been moved.

I was also suspicious when I heard it, have I moved? After all, I have been doing this business with him for some time, and I have begun to understand the jargon that pops out of his mouth, which means that this house has been deliberately changed in feng shui.

To put it bluntly, Qin Yiheng doesn't have a deep understanding of feng shui, he can only be regarded as a little bit of a fur, but if he can't drive, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the car mark, so he said that this house has been moved, I don't have any doubts, but in this way, the house can't be settled for the time being. Qin Yiheng suggested that we go back and sum it up first, anyway, no one dares to buy this house.

I said it was better to be safe, so I casually prevaricated with the hostess, and the two of them went back to the hotel. When he arrived at the hotel, Qin Yiheng was thinking while smoking, very engrossed. I watched from the sidelines, but I couldn't help, so I had to smoke with me. Qin Yiheng thought about it for a long time, but still shook his head, saying that he still didn't understand, we need to find a master to take a look.

I said we're all here, and there's nowhere to find a master.

Qin Yiheng thought about it again and said, the only way is to sleep in it for a night and see what comes at night. After saying that, he looked at me with bad intentions.

I'm so hairy at the sight that this means that it's fucking blocking my guns. Fortunately, Qin Yiheng said again that he would go with me tonight, but we had to prepare a lot of things before.

For the whole afternoon, I followed behind Qin Yiheng to prepare things for the evening. The types of things are very complicated, we first bought a lot of soybeans from the supermarket, and specially killed a chicken to bleed, soaked each soybean in chicken blood and put it away, and then prepared some common supplies such as incense, candles, paper money (said to be a common product, the chance of its practical use is very small, just be prepared), Qin Yiheng took another bottle of liquor, several kinds of lo-mei. I always thought that he was buying this to offer it to someone, but when I asked, he said that it was for dinner at night, otherwise it would be boring to sit dry.

What surprised me the most was that Qin Yiheng also went to the pet store to buy a half-sized shepherd dog for more than 1,000 yuan, and put it on a red rope. It's just a big deal for me. He explained it very simply, the dog has yin and yang eyes, and having a dog at night is equivalent to having an extra helper. Then he explained to me in detail: many people who have owned dogs will have experienced, especially when going out to walk the dog at night, the dog will often bark at a void of darkness or a direction where no one is around, which is a sign that the dog has seen dirty things. In some villages, it is usually the case that a dog barks first, and then the whole village will bark together. It is said that this is a ghost from an underworld who escorts the unjust soul to pass by. And soybeans are bright and righteous and can ward off evil spirits. Not to mention chicken blood, it has been a commonly used prop in exorcism since ancient times.

Although these previous preparations may seem absurd, they are also justified. But what made me laugh and cry the most was that the last item that Qin Yiheng prepared was to pay 500 yuan for each of us on the phone call for the two of us. I didn't understand this at all, and he didn't explain much, but he said that I would know the truth then.

In the evening, we went to the hostess to get the keys and said we wanted to see the house again in the evening. The hostess gave us the keys directly and didn't want to follow. I'm afraid she herself knows that we don't dare to build such a house in it.

When everything was ready, we led the dog and our bags straight to the house. To be honest, although I don't know the bottom in my heart, I am not afraid. First of all, because Qin Yiheng is here, and we have prepared in advance. Secondly, the building is very new and almost full, so it doesn't feel eerie inside. After entering the elevator and running directly to the 20th floor, Qin Yiheng began to arrange in the house after pushing the door in. I couldn't read it next to me, so I could only smoke and play with the dog.

After almost ten minutes of preparation, Qin Yiheng even laid out the wine and food. We sat on the floor, eating and waiting. Everything was as I expected, calm and quiet, and there was no movement until almost 10 o'clock in the evening. We were both afraid of drinking too much, so we were very restrained, and we had actually eaten in the evening, so the lo-mei was basically fed to the dog.

Although I knew in my heart that there would really be a knock on the door, I was still very uneasy to wait. The shepherd dog also ate too much, and after a while found a corner and fell asleep on his stomach. When I saw this, I said to Qin Yiheng, the dog you bought is not reliable. But he shook his head and said, "It's not time yet." After saying that, he used his mobile phone to call me, and after asking me to answer it, he put my mobile phone in the bedroom where the man committed suicide. Then he turned on his phone's hands-free and laid it on the floor in front of us.

Only then did I realize that he had paid so much for Lu when he came, but I didn't understand what he meant. He explained that this is a double insurance, to put it bluntly, many things are in step with the times, and there are many ways to find dirty things, and you don't necessarily have to follow the old routine. Usually, the telephone waves are still relatively sensitive, and in such a quiet house, a little noise can be heard. If neither we nor the dog notice that thing, at least there's something to remind us.

I don't know if there's any justification for what he said, but when he said that, my attention shifted to the phone. The phone was quiet, and it seemed that the sound of the two of us talking could be heard. I began to quiet down, hold my breath, and listen. Qin Yiheng also began to be silent, contemplating at the shiny mobile phone screen. In an instant, the room fell silent.
