Chapter 61: Follow the rules
The car didn't arrive until the evening, and the three were already hungry. Fortunately, the house is on the food street, so we simply asked the boss to meet at the restaurant next to the house, and planned to chat while eating.
The owner of the hotel arrived earlier than us and estimated that the stay was very close. A table of local specialties has been ordered.
We were also hungry enough, and we didn't care about being polite, so we sat down and ate.
The boss introduced himself as a chef and has always studied food, so he took it upon himself to order first. The first is to give us a show of the friendship of the landlords. Second, I don't want to waste time, so I try to see the house after eating.
I really appreciate the efficiency of this boss. After looking at it, he did look like a fireman. Round head, round head and big belly, although the face is full of meat, but looking at people is very kind, and at a glance it looks like Maitreya Buddha.
The boss is very talkative, and it is estimated that he has developed a habit of doing business in this year. While we were eating, he recounted the affairs of the house again. The tone was full of regret, and it seemed that he was in love with this dumpling restaurant.
Knowing that there was something going on in the evening, none of us had any drink. After eating, I took a break from smoking a cigarette and walked to the house.
This food street is very long, and it is lined with all kinds of hotel restaurants on the left and right, and the neon signs are brighter than the other.
There were so many diners coming and going, and we couldn't walk side by side.
After walking for about five or six minutes, I saw the dumpling restaurant at a glance.
Only this building is pitch black, and it's hard not to pay attention.
Dumplings are a traditional Chinese delicacy, and I thought it must be an antique Chinese style. Who knew that after seeing it, I found that the decoration design of this dumpling restaurant is very modern. It's a bit of a western restaurant. The whole building is not very big from the outside, and it seems that the restaurants on the whole street are uniformly planned, and the size is basically the same.
The boss skillfully took out the key and opened the door, made a gesture of please, and we walked in one by one.
I don't know how long this dumpling restaurant has been abandoned, and when people just enter, they are greeted by a heavy smell of dust. I have a bit of a dry cough.
The boss turned on the lights in the hall and gave us a general introduction to the hotel.
The entire first floor was scattered, and after a rough count, there should be more than twenty tables. The tables and chairs are still very new, and judging from the interior decoration, this place should have only been renovated recently. The whole decoration style is unified with the outside, and it is still a modern and simple style.
We took a brief turn on the first floor, but it wasn't really much to see. I'm just hoping to find some small glitches and get them done in a moment so I can use them to bargain. It turned out that the whole dumpling restaurant was very well maintained by the boss, which shows that it is really running with feelings, and I am a little ashamed to make it, am I too profiteer.
The owner led us up to the second floor, climbed a few flights of stairs, and the second floor was a corridor. There are various private rooms on both sides.
The smallest was a quadruple room, and the larger had 10 or 20 people. I opened a room at random and looked at it, and the overall situation was similar to downstairs, whether it was the walls or floor, the table or the chairs, it looked very new. I admired this boss more and more.
Qin Yiheng and Bai Kai whispered a few words to each other, and asked the boss to take us directly to see the box used by the old people.
After a few steps, the boss opened a door on the side of the hallway. The lights were turned on, and a box for ten people came into view.
A few people looked outside the door, also for the sake of caution. There is nothing special about this box. The area is not small, in addition to the round dining table in the center, there are also two sofas on the side. The color of the whole box is mainly warm, and if you don't know that something strange has happened here, I am afraid it still looks very warm.
Qin Yiheng took the lead and walked in, turning around and signaling the boss not to follow.
The boss was also very interested, and said that he would wait in the hall downstairs, so he gave us the place.
Bai Kai and I walked in together.
I basically know the routine of looking at the house. Look first outside, then inside. Go inside, look at the corners first, then look at the center.
Qin Yiheng and Bai Kai followed this number of roads, and walked around the house, saying that they had found nothing.
I sat on the couch and smoked, a little nervous. It's not that I'm worried about something in the house, but I'm a little scared that these two will join forces to teach me again.
As a result, I was really afraid of something, I was thinking, Qin Yiheng said, Jiang Shuo, take a look for yourself, is there anything strange?
I took a closer look, and neither of them noticed, so I was even more embarrassed.
However, I have a deeper understanding of the value of the house. The decoration of this box is very exquisite, and there is no cutting corners at all.
I sat down again and asked, "Is the house clean?" I don't feel anything.
Xiao Lack, think about it. If the house is clean, does the boss want us to buy it? Bai Kai leaned over and said, this street is full of restaurants, not to mention anything else, the business next door is very good, and it can be completely annexed here. But why doesn't anyone buy it?
When I thought about it, Bai Kai's words were indeed on point. I mean, you mean, the boss has something to hide? Did you deliberately break him up just now?
Bai Kai nodded, and said to Qin Yiheng, Professor Qin, this student is full of intelligence! Pay attention, don't be delayed by early love!
Bai Kai got up and walked to the round table as he spoke, and pulled out a few chairs. Squatted down and looked at it with his mobile phone and shouted, Qin Yiheng, you are right, there is really something wrong with this table.
I sighed, is the mystery on the table? Squatted down and looked, sure enough. I saw that the back of the table had a lot of nicks. I reached out and touched it, and the marks were very deep, as if I had written something or drawn a pattern, and I couldn't see it clearly for a while.
Bai Kai saw that the brightness here was not enough, so he called the light of his mobile phone. Only then did I realize that the back of the entire table had been carved almost all over the place, and it was all Chinese characters! What makes me even more strange is that the arrangement of these Chinese characters looks very familiar to me, as if I have seen them somewhere.
What is this? It looks so familiar! I tilted my head and asked Qin Yiheng.
It's a compass. Qin Yiheng didn't squat down, I could only see his two legs.
I immediately reacted, this thing Qin Yiheng has at home. But he rarely uses it, just keeps it on the antique shelf as an ornament. There are also many fortune tellers on the street, and more often than not, I see those so-called feng shui masters, holding a compass to swagger and deceive everywhere. I said in my heart that this thing is engraved here, are those old men all feng shui masters? Let's talk about business together? In the end, everyone agreed that they had penetrated the heavenly machine, and there was no point in living, so they went to the west to learn scriptures together?
As soon as I was about to open my mouth, I heard Bai Kai say again, the direction is correct, those old men are seated according to the direction of the compass. Qin Yiheng, you put the chair in the chair, and I'll see what these old men mean.
Then he heard the sound of chairs moving in the room, and Qin Yiheng walked back and forth a few times. I slapped the table, and the meaning was done.
I also stood up at this time, and although the table was not low, it was still uncomfortable to crouch underneath.
Qin Yiheng pointed to one of the chairs and asked me to sit down. After a while, Bai Kai also sat down. The positions of the three people basically form a triangle. Neither of them said a word, as if they were both thinking. It took a while to hear Bai Kai groan, if it was eight old men...... No way! Did the old man use himself to make a hexagram? Is this a battle?
I didn't hear the first two sentences, thinking that Bai Kai was talking about how the old man hung up. It wasn't until I heard Qin Yiheng repeat it that I understood that this hexagram refers to the direction hexagram on the compass, and the eight old men just correspond to the gossip.
It seems that there is something wrong with this house. I couldn't help but ask, is there something evil found under the foundation of the house? Those old people came to eradicate harm to the people, but failed?
No. Employing people as hexagrams is not the overall situation. Strictly speaking, this is not a game at all, but a technique. Many families will even use it when they get married, and finding a few people who correspond to the hexagram to welcome their relatives can ensure the peace of their children and grandchildren. Qin Yiheng shook his head slowly and said, those old men may have no other way. I had to do it as a last resort.
Why the last resort? I thought about it, if it doesn't have much to do with the house. Is it because of someone?
I was thinking about it, when I suddenly heard Bai Kai sigh and say, Qin Yiheng, I still remember that the news said that there was a plate of raw meat on the table! The position of the meat must correspond to a hexagram, and the person corresponding to the hexagram is the purpose of the old man's coming!
Well. I've got it. Qin Yiheng turned his head to look out of the door and said, that plate of meat was used to feed Huang Tai Sin. We are all careless, the house is fine, the owner of the house really has a problem!
