In 1987, Zhang Liang's family gave birth to a pair of twins, and the whole family was very happy! But the hardships of real life slowly diluted the joy brought by the child, because the family was too poor, and his wife Lan Ying had no milk after giving birth due to the long-term lack of nutrition during pregnancy, so she could only feed her daughters rice soup, the two children raised their faces with sallow, and occasionally convulsions, Zhang Liang began to sigh, and Lan Ying held the child and cried from time to time.

After the child was 100 days old, Zhang Liang turned out the dilapidated old suitcase at home, told his wife that he was going out to work to earn money, and vowed to let their mother live a good life! Although Lan Ying was reluctant, she could only nod with tears After Zhang Liang left, she would regularly send money home every month, and she would rush back from other places to accompany her family during the New Year's holidays. The Zhang family's life is also gradually improving, and life is becoming more and more promising.

When the two children were 7 years old, Zhang Liang came back the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, holding a fashionably dressed woman in his hand. The big wave perm has a pair of sunglasses on his delicate face, a low-cut outfit with fashionable bell bottoms, and a shiny pair of small leather shoes.

The woman claimed to be Zhang Liang's lover, called Sun Na (now the fat aunt) Lan Ying saw her husband and the woman's hands holding together, her eyes immediately turned red, and she pulled the daughters who greeted her father to her side, and the two quarreled all night that day, and the next morning, Lan Ying left her two young daughters with her luggage and left without looking back.

After Jiang Lanying left, Suna stayed in Zhang's house openly, taking care of the two children in place of her, the sisters have very different personalities, sister Xiaoting is outgoing and lively, sister Xiaoya is introverted and shy, after learning that she left, Xiaoting kept crying, not eating or drinking all day long and clamoring for her mother, Xiaoya was particularly calm, still well-behaved and obedient. Despite this, Suna shows that she likes her eldest daughter even more, and she usually has a bias in food and clothing.

Two years later

Sister Xiaoya suddenly felt a vicious illness and died

A month later, Xiaoting suddenly became ill, did not eat or drink, made a lot of noise, and often talked nonsense.

Neighbors said that she was a ghost, evil sex, persuaded Zhang Liang and his wife to ask the god to jump, but the god did not dare to accept the money on the spot and ran away, the matter became more and more outrageous, soon, the government arranged for the commissioner to visit the home, sent Xiaoting to the county psychiatric hospital, announced that she was diagnosed with schizophrenia, forced to be admitted to the hospital for treatment.

Since then, Xiaoting has not appeared in the following books.

Shi Hui felt that the author's handling of the whole incident was a bit hasty, and it seemed that he had hidden part of the truth from the reader, but deliberately left some suspicious details.

Shi Hui tossed and turned until the early hours of the morning before falling asleep.

Shi Hui went to a supermarket when she got off work, found a small square mirror that was very similar to the description in the book, and came to Zhang's house to see that the door was closed, and no one answered after going up and taking pictures several times. After going home and sitting for more than an hour, Shi Hui planned to go and see again, "Why did you go to Huihui?" Seeing her go out, Qiao's mother chased her out of the kitchen and said, "It's time to eat."

"I'm going to send a mirror to Xiaoting!" Shi Hui took out the mirror in his pocket and held it up and shook it, "Sensei!" Qiao's mother rubbed the flour on her hands and said, "They took Xiaoting to see a doctor, and they will come back tomorrow."

After dinner, Shi Hui wandered out to see if Zhou Ling was there.

Outside the bridge cave, Shi Hui saw a girl floating in the air with her back to herself chatting with Zhou Ling, Zhou Ling saw her coming, and said something to the other party, the girl hurriedly looked back and disappeared instantly.

"Who was that girl just now? Why did I leave as soon as I came" Shi Hui stepped forward and asked, Zhou Ling slowly floated down from above and fell to her side "She just died not long ago, and she is still a little scared" At the moment when the girl turned around, Shi Hui felt that she was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.

"Lingling, how long have you been in this place?" Shi Hui leaned against the bridge wall on one side and tilted her head and asked her.

"Lingling" glanced at her coldly and replied:

"Lived to 21, died 10 years"

“31”

Shi Hui said the numbers as if he was rushing to answer

Zhou Ling "......" Wow, you are so smart!

"Then do you know the youngest daughter of Zhang Liang's family?"

"Which Zhang Liang"

"The one who lives next to the mayor's house"

"Xiaoya?"

Shi Hui immediately nodded, Xiaoya is the deceased sister of the twin sisters, and it is likely that she is the girl who stood under the tree that day.

"That child died aggrieved, and his obsession was too deep" Zhou Ling's timbre floated in the air, soft and good-sounding, but also empty and clear, and asked, "Have you seen her?" ”

Shi Hui nodded: "The day before yesterday, Xiaoting took a knife to cut her mother"

"Stepmother!"

"Well, cut her stepmother" Shi Hui glanced at her and continued: "Her stepmother loves her very much, so it must be Xiaoya who drove her to do crazy things, in short, Xiaoting's state is very bad, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid"

"She wants to," Zhou Ling interrupted

"Huh?" Shi Hui didn't react for a while

"Who wants to? Willing to what? ”

"Xiao Ting"

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Ling glanced at her and suddenly asked, "When did your career start?" "I've found a suitable place, I'll rest tomorrow and I'll go and confirm with the boss" Shi Hui has taken the time to wander around in the past few days, and finally took a fancy to a suitable stall.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

"Advisor!"

Shi Hui's eyes lit up, and when he mentioned his career, he was like being beaten with chicken blood

"Don't stay in the bridge cave in the future, the place I'm looking for is heavy! You're sure to be comfortable! ”

"Yin Qi heavy?" Zhou Ling's face was full of questions.

"Yes, my customers are not just living people, of course I have to think about it comprehensively"

With a witty expression on Shi Hui's face, he turned his head to look at the dark sky outside the bridge

"Why don't I take you to see it now, and if it's okay, I'll talk to the boss directly about the rent tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go"

Zhou Ling nodded and floated out first, and Shi Hui followed and took her to walk in the direction of North Street

At this time, the light of the street lamp hit the ground and stretched Shi Hui's shadow into a long one.

Shi Hui took Zhou Ling to find a remote store,

The dilapidated wooden door in front of me was stained with all kinds of faded and white advertising leaflets, which were blown by the wind and crumbling.

【408 North Main Street】

Zhou Ling looked at the door number and kindly reminded

"This place is not clean"

Shi Hui turned her head to look at the pale face beside her, and then lowered her eyes to look at her dangling toes,

And then - a slight tilt of the head

…… Understand?

Zhou Ling"... ”

——

At ten o'clock in the evening, everything was silent.

Shi Hui walked into the courtyard and locked the gate with her backhand.

"I'm back" A voice behind her suddenly sounded, startling her, Qi Zhi'an stood a few meters away with a water glass and looked at her.

"You haven't slept yet, have you?" Shi Hui patted his chest slightly

"Scaring you?"

"It scared me!" Shi Hui pretended to be angry and replied

"Sorry"

She was pretending, and seeing Qi Zhi'an's serious apology, she didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she laughed.

"I'm kidding"

Qi Zhi'an nodded and took a sip of water.

"Then I'll go back to the house first," Shi Hui turned and walked towards the room.

"Wait" Qi Zhi'an suddenly stopped her,

"What's wrong?" Shi Hui looked puzzled,

"You" Qi Zhi'an looked at her for a few seconds and paused, and said, "It's okay, rest early" After speaking, he turned around and left,

Shi Hui "......", why does this person always speak only half of it!

Next

When Shi Hui got up, Qi Zhi'an had already gone out, saying that she was going to the county seat for a meeting and would not come back on the weekend, and she was secretly happy in her heart. I just planned to take advantage of the two days to settle down the feng shui shop and talk to Xiaoya again. And neither of these things can be known by Mayor Qi.

Shi Hui went out immediately after breakfast.

The owner of No. 408 North Street is called Qian Yongde, 53 years old this year, and he is the richest man in Qimiao Town

Shi Hui inquired all the way and found a small building, and after knocking on the door, a young man came out inside, in his twenties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, standard appearance, and a pair of black-framed glasses on his nose

"Hello, who are you looking for?" The boy's voice was warm and polite.

"Hello, my name is Shi Hui" Shi Hui looked at him and said, "I want to rent a façade room at No. 408 with Mr. Qian"

The young man smiled: "My name is Qian Zechen, and I am responsible for the store you want to rent" and then turned sideways: "Miss Shi, please come into the house and talk in detail" So young? The other party saw a little suspicion in her eyes, and explained, "The house belongs to my father, and I will be responsible for leasing it if he is not there in the near future" Shi Hui nodded and smiled, and followed him into the house.

This building looks magnificent from the outside, and the interior is even more extraordinary, with an excellent feng shui layout, gathering wealth and prosperity for children and grandchildren! Valuable furniture, stylish furnishings! All showed the owner's strong financial resources and high taste, and Shi Hui sat on the sandalwood chair next to him with the young man.

"What does Miss Shi want to do when she rents a store?" Qian Zechen poured a glass of water and put it in front of Shi Hui.

"Answering questions and solving doubts, traditional culture"

"Metaphysics?"

Shi Hui smiled slightly, Qian Zechen glanced at her and lowered her head to drink water, the girl's eyes were clear and she didn't dodge.

"Mr. Qian doesn't dare to rent it to me?" Shi Hui said with a smile.

"What don't you dare, Miss Shi is not afraid" Qian Zechen also hooked his lips and smiled, "But you may not know, the local people are simple, although metaphysics is not illegal, but it belongs to feudal superstition after all, not to mention that Mayor Qi is even more firm materialism, so" He looked at Shi Hui and said slowly:

"There may also be jail time"

"According to the law, opening a feng shui numerology shop is a private service, as long as it meets the relevant industry norms and requirements, it is legal, where is the prison disaster" Shi Hui is very familiar with the relevant laws, and said "It does not involve fraud, fraud, demagoguery, and deception, and the government can only control it"

"Row"

It may be that Shi Hui's words played a role, Qian Zechen said decisively

"The rent is three hundred per month, and the mortgage is paid one, when does Miss Shi plan to open?"

This price is much lower than my psychological expectations! Shi Hui immediately laughed

"Why don't you sign the contract now?"

From signing the contract to getting the keys, it was all done in one hour

Walking out of the gate of Qian's house with the key, Shi Hui felt that today's sun was even brighter!

Xiaoting lay at the door again basking in the sun, as if she had foreseen it, and her eyes kept staring at the intersection in front of her.

When he saw Shi Hui's figure appear, he grinned, and his eyes were cold
