First Chapter 21 Powerless
After Qin Yiheng finished telling me, I realized that I would not be able to report to the couple later. We clearly said that we were here to fix the girl's soul, but after all the trouble, it returned to its original state. In addition, the couple didn't know the cause and effect of this, and I'm afraid they wanted to kill us. But this matter really couldn't be concealed. I had a brief discussion with Qin Yiheng, and there was no choice but to open the door and explain the matter clearly.
The couple didn't believe it at first, so Qin Yiheng explained the whole story. Plus, the couple probably noticed that although the girl was no longer sleepy, she was still very abnormal, so they had no choice but to believe it.
So, we sat down again to discuss countermeasures. Qin Yiheng asked about the situation on the day when the girl had the accident in detail again, and he still frowned after listening to it. The matter came to a deadlock. I just watched from the side but couldn't help much, and I felt frustrated.
Qin Yiheng thought for a long time, and suddenly asked the couple whether the day they went on the trip was the third, thirteenth or twenty-third day of the lunar calendar? The couple recalled for a long time and said that it seemed to be the twenty-third day.
When Qin Yiheng heard their affirmative answer, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said that he probably found the reason for the matter. He said that first of all, the third, thirteenth, and twenty-third days of the first lunar month are said to be the days when the King of Hell in the underworld goes out. According to legend, King of Hell will personally go to redress the grievances of the wronged souls on these three days, and the big ghosts and small ghosts will definitely avoid him. If you meet him on this day, if you are disrespectful or commit crimes, you will probably be implicated. He thought, if this is true, they may have really met on that day, and it is estimated that the watermelon was lost. The little girl may have said something disrespectful in her heart, so her soul was hooked away by the little ghost as a punishment. If this is true, if you go to the City God Temple to worship devoutly every day, maybe the little girl will slowly recover.
This time Qin Yiheng's inference was even more outrageous, even involving the King of Hell. However, what happened in the state-owned enterprise cafeteria before made me believe that there are probably some systems and rulers in this world that we cannot see with our own eyes.
The couple was naturally grateful to find that the situation could be solved. Now that we had found the cause of the incident, we said goodbye to the couple and prepared to return.
After I left the house, I felt that something was wrong with Qin Yiheng, and his face didn't look good. I asked him if he was feeling unwell, and he told me that, in fact, what he had just said was a lie to the couple. Although the legend of the King of Hell's coming out is true, there is no date or time limit.
For example, when everyone is chatting enthusiastically in a crowded place, they suddenly become quiet for no apparent reason. In Western legends, this is because the devil happened to pass by. In Chinese legends, it is mostly believed that the King of Hell happened to pass by on his way of inspection.
As a ruler, there must be a little ghost in front of him holding a sign of silence, so our sudden silence may be due to a mysterious physical reaction, which is similar to the perception of spirits. And the dates he mentioned are just the days of the month with heavier yin energy.
The reason he did this was that he hoped the couple would believe what he said and worship devoutly, but he didn't know whether it would be effective or not.
After listening to Qin Yiheng's words, I could only sigh. This feeling makes people feel very uncomfortable. I want to help them but I am powerless. Qin Yiheng is just a mortal no matter how powerful he is. He is not omniscient and omnipotent. Now that things have come to this, we have done our best.
This house touched me deeply. On the way back, I felt depressed. Qin Yiheng looked unhappy. We talked very little along the way and drove back home in silence.
This experience made me physically and mentally exhausted, and I was in a low mood for many days after returning home. I simply turned off my phone and played games at home for a few days. During this time, Qin Yiheng didn't come to see me, but we occasionally talked to each other online.
Qin Yiheng said online that he felt the same as I did, but that there was nothing he could do now that things had come to this point. I told him directly that I might not want to do this business anymore. Although the profits were considerable, the two houses I had taken over recently were really too much for me to handle.
Qin Yiheng didn't object, but he also told me that many things are really destined, and a small decision from the beginning may force us to move forward. I didn't understand what he said, but I was too lazy to speculate. After playing games for a few more days, I finally felt that my body was really bored.
When I opened my phone, I saw the message Yuan Zhen sent me the night before. The content was that there was a big deal that I had to take a look at. Actually, I really didn't want to buy these weird houses anymore, but I couldn't resist my curiosity. After a long time of hesitation, I finally called him back.
Yuan Zhen gave me a general account of the situation of the house.
It may not be appropriate to say that it is a house this time. To be specific, it should be considered as several houses. Several houses are in one unit, all belonging to the village chief.
This village is actually a village in the city. Because the developer occupied a lot of land in their village when developing the real estate, the villagers of this village suddenly became nouveau riche. Not only did they get a large sum of cash, but they also got several houses. Of course, the village chief got more benefits. He got half a unit of the six-plus-one building.
This seemed like a piece of cake, but after the village chief moved in, accidents started happening one after another in his family.
First, one of his sons-in-law was in a car accident and nearly paralyzed. While he was still in the hospital, another son-in-law was defrauded of a lot of money in his business. Not only that, his two daughters also began to be in poor condition. One of them got cancer for no apparent reason, while the other was fine physically, but she lost money no matter what business she did.
At first, the village chief didn't think much about it, but as things piled up, he had to start wondering if there was something wrong with the house's feng shui. He asked someone to take a look, and they all said that the house's orientation and layout were fine, and even if there were some minor feng shui flaws, it wouldn't harm his family like this. Moreover, his house was originally built on the land of their village, and there was no possibility that it was accidentally built on a cemetery. Therefore, the village chief had no choice but to ask people everywhere to see if they could help improve it.
After listening to Yuan Zhen's summary, to be honest, I really have no interest. Aside from the fact that I really don't plan to do this anymore, I can't afford this house. Because according to the policy, you can't get the house certificate for a house like this within five years, so even if I want to buy it, the village chief can't sell it. And looking at the current situation, the village chief doesn't plan to sell it. Even if Qin Yiheng and I go over to make things right, there won't be much practical benefit.
I told Yuan Zhen about my idea, but he still begged me to go and have a look. I guess the village chief promised him a lot of benefits. Yuan Zhen said that the village chief didn't care about money, and as long as I could solve this problem, he would give me one million yuan in cash.
After I heard this, my heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. This was such a big deal. I was really tempted! I told myself that it must not be easy to earn so much money. But I still couldn't resist my greed. I told myself that this was the last time. After I got the money, I would stay away from this kind of speculation and concentrate on my small business.
So, I called Qin Yiheng and wanted to tell him about the house, but Yuan Zhen had already called him and was waiting for me to see what I meant. Since that was the case, I discussed it with Qin Yiheng and decided to go and take a look the next day.
