First Chapter 40 Return
Now , the situation is really unfavorable for us. When we escaped, we were only concerned about saving our lives, and we left all our bags in the ancestral hall. To be honest, the things in the bags are not valuable, but having no food or drink is a big problem for us. I discussed it with Qin Yiheng and asked him what we should do next. He thought about it and said that we can only go back first. It will take a while to figure out what is going on here. However, we can't go back the same way. This village has problems to begin with, and now we have nothing, so it is easy for others to plot against us.
I agree with his proposal. Putting aside other things, now that someone has died in the ancestral hall and we are in this state, we should at least stay away from people. Yuan Zhen's body is still inside. Although we didn't kill him, we probably left a lot of footprints and fingerprints. If someone calls the police to investigate, we will probably be the top suspects. I was still a little scared after thinking about it, so I asked Qin Yiheng, but he was very calm. He said that Yuan Zhen was the kind of person who traveled all over China. Even if he disappeared, no one would track him down for a while. Besides, this ancestral hall is too hidden. By the time someone finds his body, it will be almost rotten.
His analysis was correct. Now that things have come to this, I can only comfort myself in this way. The two of us rested for a while and then set off. Needless to say, the road was bumpy. We walked for almost the entire day and were hungry. It was really a test for the body. Fortunately, we passed a small orchard on the way. There were apple trees in it and no one was watching over it. Although the apples were not ripe yet, they were still enough to fill our stomachs. We not only ate a lot, but also picked some and put them in our pockets before leaving.
On the way, Qin Yiheng and I were able to chat for a while at first, mostly I was asking him questions about my doubts. He went around in circles and answered with only a few sentences, saying that he had told me his analysis in the ancestral hall, and he couldn't figure out the rest now.
I didn't think he was being insincere, and he was so tired that he didn't even want to move his mouth, so I didn't ask any more questions. But all along the way, I felt that Qin Yiheng was still hiding something from me, because in fact, we didn't need to come here and take the risk of looking for an address book, but he seemed to be determined.
This time, Qin Yiheng unexpectedly did not give me a perfunctory answer. Instead, he was silent for a long time before telling me that he could only tell me about this matter after we went back and rested.
He didn't want to talk now, and I couldn't force him, so I could only nod and agree.
It was almost dark when we finally reached a road that we didn't know if it was a national highway. Although the bag was lost, fortunately the money was in our pockets. We took a few hundred yuan and stopped a passing freight truck to take us to a nearby bus station. In fact, the driving time was not very long, but the time was wasted waiting for passing buses. There were few cars passing by in this remote area, and our current behavior was really scary. After waiting for a few cars, they didn't dare to stop. In the end, I wiped some of the blood off my face with saliva, and finally stopped a car. After all this trouble, it was already late at night when we arrived at the bus station.
We spent a night in the small hotel at the bus station. The next morning, we finally set out on our return journey. After a few more days of hard work, we finally got home. During the days on the road, Qin Yiheng seemed to be worried. He rarely spoke and always took out the notebook with the numbers on the wall and looked at it in deep thought. I didn't want to disturb him, and now I didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore. I just wanted to have a good rest and go home for a good meal.
After that, I didn't contact Qin Yiheng for more than a week. The only time we talked was when he called me to tell me that he went to Liu Quezi's home. Liu Quezi seemed to have disappeared. His family had been looking for him. Missing person notices were posted all over the streets, but there was still no news of Liu Quezi. After hanging up the phone, I felt an indescribable feeling. This was not because of Liu Quezi's disappearance. I had never even seen him. To me, this person was irrelevant. In the final analysis, it might be that the questions in my head made me flustered. I thought about it for a long time, but my head was still full of confusion. Later, I simply let it go. It was a rare quiet time. I ate and drank at home for several days. Although I was still waiting for Qin Yiheng to answer my questions, he didn't take the initiative to speak. I guessed that it was useless to ask. Anyway, he was already at home, so I just let it go. Later, a relative who was not particularly far away asked me for help, so I called Qin Yiheng.
This relative had a very good friend who had some problems with his house, so he contacted me through many twists and turns , hoping that I could bring my friend over to take a look. I wanted to refuse, but the other party was very sincere and kept flattering me, which made me feel embarrassed. Finally, I thought about it and decided that I hadn't seen Qin Yiheng for a long time, so I asked him to wait a moment and called him to ask what he thought.
Qin Yiheng agreed very readily and came to my house to find me the next day. The house of the relative's friend is in our neighboring city, and it only takes more than an hour to drive there. On the way, I told Qin Yiheng the general situation of the house that the other party conveyed to me. In fact, it is quite simple to say. This house is not a haunted house at all, because there are still people living in it , and no one has ever died in it. It's just very strange that the people living in it are often in poor health, and this kind of poor health is not the kind of long-term illness. They are healthy on weekdays, but every once in a while, the family members will get a serious illness, which is not life-threatening, but it is very expensive to treat. This family is not a wealthy family. They worked hard all year round to save some money, but they spent it all on medical treatment. In the end, the people were cured, but their savings were gone. This has been like this for several years, and the family wondered if there was something wrong with the family, so they contacted me.
Qin Yiheng's expression didn't change after listening to my introduction. I guess it's not a big deal. Besides, we're not going there for the money. At most, the other party will give us a red envelope after the job is done. It's impossible to make money. It can only be said that our trip will not be in vain. I've also been really bored staying at home these days, so I just treat it as a disguised way of relaxing. Anyway, Qin Yiheng will still be busy at that time.
There was no conversation along the way. We set out after lunch and arrived in the afternoon. When we arrived, the family was already waiting downstairs, and they greeted us with smiles. We didn't say much, but went straight to the point and took a look around their house. It was obvious that they were not rich. The electrical appliances in the house were very old, and they had probably been used for many years. The house was not big, only about 70 square meters, which was barely enough for three people, but it still seemed a bit crowded.
Qin Yiheng looked around as usual, then curled his lips and said that the house was very clean. Then, perhaps because he was afraid that it was not safe to just look at it with his eyes, he took out the tortoise shell to test it. Sure enough, the house was normal. If he said it was normal, then there must be nothing wrong with the house.
Qin Yiheng said, now it seems that this family is just unlucky. If this person is unlucky, this situation is likely to happen. In the art of magic, there is a saying that one's fate is first, two's luck is third, and three's Feng Shui. In short, it lists three factors that have a great impact on life. This fate is determined by heaven. It is really difficult to change it, so most people in the world work hard on the latter two. But although this luck can be changed by human means, it is also difficult to control and operate without the layout of a master. If something goes wrong, it is still quite dangerous for people, so most of the methods we use in our lives to assist with magic are used in Feng Shui.
However, there are no major flaws in the layout of this house, and there are no buildings with strong ominous energy in front of or behind the house.
He made a very clear analysis, but since we had come here once, if we just took a quick look and left, the family would think we were just going through the motions to get some free food and drinks. So I discussed with him that we should pretend to take a look and stay a little longer, and then tell the family that there was no problem with the house, so that I could explain to the relative.
