Chapter 11 Guarding the House and Waiting for the Ghost

I was frightened by this idea of my own, and immediately reported it to Qin Yiheng. He didn't react much, just glanced back at the door, asked me to help pick up the things on the ground, and said, "That's all for today." "He didn't explain it to me, but he silently put on his bag and pulled me out of the house.

On the way back, Qin Yiheng also seemed to be thinking and was silent. It wasn't until the hotel that the two of them were lying down, he took out the previous sketch from his bag, looked left and right, muttered to himself for a long time, turned his head and said to me: "After all, we can't see carefully through the door, we can only wait until the day to enter the room, and spend it until the night to see what is going on." ”

What he meant was that he was still ready to guard the house and wait for ghosts. I guessed from his expression that things were not optimistic, and I was a little hesitant. Although this house is cheap, it will definitely not be able to sell for a while, how much profit it can be, I can't estimate the details for the time being, and it seems a bit unworthwhile to risk my life for this money. But I thought about it, there were so many houses before, which one didn't risk his life to take it? In the end, I nodded and agreed, and asked Qin Yiheng what was going on with the shadow on the eggshell and what his plans were next.

When he heard me ask, he shook his head and told me that he had to come up with this method of eggshells. According to common sense, this is not a means in Fangshu, but a way for ethnic minorities in the south to see "Gu".

It is said that people who have been planted with Gu will see a black shadow on the person in this way, and the wizards of ethnic minorities can judge what kind of Gu it is through the black shadow on it; Some wizards with high mana can tell from the dark shadow who the person who is under the Gu is. Of course, he had only heard about it, but had never seen it with his own eyes. However, judging from the current hands-on situation, I am afraid that this is not a fabrication out of thin air. Because from the perspective of metaphysical understanding, this Gu is actually a kind of filth, which cannot be seen or touched, and eggs have always been something to ward off evil spirits, and it is especially useful when they are touched by the birthday star on their birthdays. The connection between the two through the ash may indeed produce some kind of communication, but he can't figure out exactly why.

After Qin Yiheng finished explaining, he yawned and told me to rest quickly, and I fell asleep on my head. I still wanted to ask, but I had no choice but to close my eyes when I saw him like this.

We got up and ate something hastily, and went to the supermarket to buy some bread, ham and sausages for the night, and the two went back to the house.

During the day, when the sun was full, we left all the windows of the house open, and we didn't feel anything unusual in the house.

What makes me strange is that when Qin Yiheng went to pull the door, he didn't use much effort, and it was easy to see the action of opening the door. Curious, I closed the door again and tried to pull it myself, and sure enough, it was no different from opening a normal door.

I'm still nervous right now, doesn't it make it clear that things in the house can come and go freely? But seeing Qin Yiheng's casual appearance, I also settled down to help him sort things out.

The room is not small, and there is also a bed and a small amount of bedroom furniture. It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, and not only on the bed, but also on the floor is covered with a thick layer of dust. Luckily, I had the foresight to bring a newspaper with me, not only to pass the time, but also to put it on the floor at night and save me my dirty clothes.

The things prepared were actually similar to those prepared the night before, the only difference was that Qin Yiheng prepared double portions. He placed the two candles in two positions, one closer to the door and one farther away from the door, and he didn't know if the other was spare. After setting the candles, he took out the red paper and began to fold things. Last night, the black rumble, he burned not long after he folded, and I didn't see it clearly, but this time I finally saw it clearly, and he folded the kind of paper boat that everyone would fold when he was a child. The difference is that after folding the paper boat, he uses a knife to make a cut in the bottom of the boat.

I asked curiously, and he told me that this step was added by himself, and it wasn't exactly the way to look at Gu. The red paper boat, the broken bilge, this is used to stabilize the soul in the arts, and it is the same as using the soul stone. Use it to start a fire in the middle, also just in case.

After speaking, Qin Yiheng carefully took out the box from his bag, took out two egg shells from it, reached out and handed me one, pointed to the candle far away from the door and said, "You lie behind me tonight, when I look, if you see something behind me, you must immediately remind me." ”

I let out a sigh of relief, this time I finally don't have to fucking go to the ghosts. I went to lie down behind the candle and felt it in advance, and it felt awkward. Even if this house is not small, it is still quite tense to lie longitudinally and horizontally, and there is a distance between us. When I got down, my legs were resting aggrievedly against the foot of the bed. However, this treatment is not bad, at least it is much more comfortable than hitting a ghost head-on.

Everything is ready to stop, and all that remains is to wait for the night to fall.

It was just after three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived, and it was still a long time before it got dark. I was going to use my phone to chat online, but I accidentally found two other rats in this room, blatantly trying to eat the bread I had placed on the floor. I just a broom to kill the rats to pass the time.

By the time I had finished disposing of the two mice, it was almost five o'clock, and I had another bite of dinner, when I saw the sky outside the window getting dark.

Qin Yiheng did not act immediately, but patiently waited for it to get dark, then got up and closed the curtains, and instructed me to lie down, then turned off the lights, lit the paper boat with a lighter, and lit the two candles, and then he also lay behind the candle by the door.

Although the lights were turned off in the room, there were two candles to illuminate the room. It's just that the candle is blocking my eyes, which affects my vision very much, and I am afraid that I will miss something if I am not careful, so I can only focus all my attention on Qin Yiheng's back.

I stared at him for about five minutes before I saw him move a few times, presumably with the eggshell in his eyes. When the truth finally came out, I was so nervous that I couldn't help but hold my breath. When I hold my breath, I feel that my heartbeat is amplified several times.

I waited for a moment, and the room was dead silent. Qin Yiheng didn't say anything. I wondered, is he asleep? I wanted to stand up and see if something was wrong, but I was afraid that there would be any omissions in such a move, after all, I still had a task to do, and I was quite entangled for a while.

Just as I hesitated, a strange voice suddenly sounded in the room.

It's not loud, it's rustling, but it's noticeable. At first, I thought it was a rat again, but after listening carefully, I didn't think it was like it. This sound source is very fixed, I calmed down and distinguished, it seemed to be coming from Qin Yiheng's side.

"What are you doing?" I asked him in a puzzled whisper. As soon as the words came out, he immediately stretched out his hand back and shook it several times, meaning to tell me not to make a sound.

When he moved like this, my scalp was a little numb, and then I suddenly remembered that Xu Chuanxiang had said before that there would be a sound of scratching the door at night in the house, could it be this movement?

I listened intently, and it didn't feel like it was coming from above the door, but like something was scraping against the floor. The decoration of this house is very luxurious, the floor is all solid wood, very thick, I tried to scratch the floor lightly with my fingers twice, but the nails are very short, and I don't dare to force it, so the sound is so small that I can't even hear it, so I can't compare.

But one thing I am sure of is that at least this movement is not the same as what Xu Chuanxiang said. Although the sound sounds very real, the volume is relatively low. It is impossible to say that a sleeping person is woken up through two doors.

I thought to myself, "It must have come from outside the door?" I wanted to ask Qin Yiheng, after all, he was closer to the door than me, and he couldn't make a sound, so in the end, I simply put my ear to the floor, wanting to hear where the sound came from.

Lying down and listening for a while, I felt that something was wrong. The more I listened, the more panicked I felt, how did it really sound like someone was scratching the floor with their fingernails? There are only two people in this room, Qin Yiheng and me, is this thing under the floor?

As soon as the thought came to me, I almost jumped up from the ground. If there's a filth that sits across a layer of wood from you, peeking out underneath is creepy to think about.

I restrained myself for a long time before I pressed myself to the ground. I really wanted to smoke, but I couldn't speak and ask for instructions, so I could only gently tap the floor with my fingers, trying to attract Qin Yiheng's attention, and planned to ask him what he was going to do with his expression when he looked back at me.

Qin Yiheng heard my voice, moved his shoulders, and sat up directly, turned around, and looked serious.

I saw his expression and finished speaking, and I always felt that the next thing he was going to say was that we were both going to die here tonight.

The result was just the opposite, Qin Yiheng actually lit a cigarette and said, "I found the reason why the door is not open." So saying, he blew out his candle, pointed to mine, and asked me to see for myself, and he stepped aside to smoke.

A candle was blown out, and the room was visibly darkened.

This environment is quite terrifying, but it must not be dangerous.

I put the eggshell in the way, and when I opened my eyes, my head was a little wooden. I'd seen it before, but I didn't expect it to be so clear when I looked at it from the inside.

Of course, this clarity is only relative, after all, it is still a shadow, but even so, it is enough for me to discern a rough idea. Before, it was outside the door, and with the problem of angle, I once thought it was an animal, but now it looks like it's an animal, and it's clearly a person.

This person's posture is terrible, with his hands on his chest, as if he is holding something, and the whole person is leaning against the door, tilting his head, looking like a woman. Other than that, I don't see anything.

I stared at it with wide eyes for a long time, and I forgot that I was afraid, but the more I looked at it, the more strange I felt. Qin Yiheng said that he found the reason why the door was not easy to open, presumably it was related to this female ghost. But I couldn't tell from the shadows that the door was being pulled, or was she asleep now, and she got up when she woke up? It's so fake!
