Mysterious country

One thing I have to admit is that Boss Chen's house is indeed very large. The internal structure presents a U-shape, giving Xia Qi the feeling of entering a courtyard.

However, he was filled with emotion. What really caught his attention was the coffin placed in the center of the courtyard. The rain falling on it kept making a "plop, plop, plop," sound.

"Someone died in the family?"

Leng Yue obviously also saw the coffin, but he did not say it clearly, but asked Boss Chen tentatively.

"No...no...yes, there is indeed no one in the family anymore."

Boss Chen seemed a little hesitant in his answer to this question. It gave them the feeling that they didn't want to admit it, but they had to admit it.

After hearing this, Xia Xia Qi rolled his eyes and roughly guessed Boss Chen's worries, and then heard him interject seemingly casually:

"We respect local customs, but when someone dies in the local area, do they put the coffin in the open air?"

"The weather has been unusual recently. It rains every day, and there is no place to put it at home, so it can only be placed outside. We have a saying here that the deceased must rest at home for 7 days before being buried."

Boss Chen was very uneasy at this time. If it hadn't been too late, he wouldn't have insisted on letting Xia Qi and Leng Yue move in. After all, there was still a coffin in his house, not to mention that the dead person committed suicide. .

Of course, what he fears most is that he bought Xiaoli from a trafficker.

Fortunately, Xia Qi and Leng Yue didn't ask any more questions after that, seemingly not interested in his family's affairs.

"It was announced three or four years ago that electricity would be available here, but it has never been connected, so the village still relies on oil lamps and candles, and few have flashlights."

As he explained, Boss Chen lit a candle and fixed it on the table in the living room. Although it was not very bright, it would not make the room pitch dark again.

"The quilts, pillows, etc. are all in the cabinet. It's been raining recently and I haven't taken them out to dry, so they will be a little damp."

Due to the "identities" of Leng Yue and Xia Qi, Boss Chen seemed to be very concerned about them.

"It's nice here, we're not that pretentious."

After finishing speaking, Leng Yue deliberately glanced at the honor list in her hand, and then said tactfully:

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest quickly. It's embarrassing for us to disturb you so late. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow. We're a little tired all the way here."

Although Leng Yue said it tactfully, how could Boss Chen not understand what he meant, so he nodded understandingly and said:

"Okay, you guys go to bed early and I'll go back to bed. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow..."

After reminding them of the location of the toilet, Mr. Chen returned to the house where he was.

The rain was still pouring down.

After closing the door, Xia Qi's face instantly sank. Under the candlelight, it looked a bit cold. He said to Leng Yue who was sitting at the table:

"Give me a reasonable explanation!"

After finishing speaking coldly, Xia Qi also sat down on the chair.

Although his tone was serious, Leng Yue did not argue with him, but explained in a calm tone:

"That's a lost ghost, so when we see it, we must help it fulfill its wish, otherwise it will take revenge on us."

"Lost ghost? Please speak clearly."

Seeing that Xia Qi didn't understand very well, Leng Yue touched her forehead and explained:

"To put it bluntly, the evil ghost can't find its way home for some reason, so it wants us to help it. If we choose to refuse, it will vent its resentment on us and kill us.

The first seven soul nights should be familiar to you, right? It is said that on the seventh day after death, people will come back to see the important people for the last time. Although the evil ghost will come back on the seventh day after death, it is not to meet the people important to it, but to take revenge on the people it hates.

To put it more clearly, it comes back to kill! "

Speaking of this, Leng Yue couldn't help but look up at Xia Qi, who was looking stunned. Seeing that he already understood the reason, she continued:

"I asked myself that I was not sure of getting rid of it, so I didn't take action against it just now. I hope you can understand this."

Hearing Leng Yue's explanation, Xia Qi felt somewhat relieved, but still replied with a cold face:

"No matter how good your explanation is, you can't make up for the fact that you tricked me into carrying the ghost. It makes me sweat all over my pants just thinking about it now!

But I'm not such a stingy person. If I don't do this next time, this matter will just pass. "

Xia Qi naturally knew why Leng Yue didn't tell him in advance that the woman was a ghost, because in that case he would definitely not be able to carry her all this way, but no matter what, it was he who was carrying the ghost, not Leng Yue, so he had to remember that Leng Yue What a bitch.

After resolving any internal conflicts that might arise, the two discussed the next steps together.

Although Xia Qi doesn't know much about ghosts, he has a certain talent for making plans and doing small analysis.

According to his guess, the female ghost was most likely the deceased relative of Mr. Chen. Therefore, as long as he followed this point of investigation, it would not be difficult to find out the cause of the woman's death and the relationship between him, Mr. Chen's family, and even the entire Hulu Village. disputes.

As the first suspect in this incident, it would be difficult for Mr. Chen to get the truth out of him from the beginning. Therefore, he should start with other villagers and then use evidence to force Mr. Chen to find out the truth.

After all, only by understanding the ins and outs of this incident, the causes and consequences, can we possibly find a way to stop the female ghost and find a solution to the incident.

Of course, this is just one of the solutions and can be regarded as a "literary struggle". As for the second solution, that is "fighting" to see if the cold bitch can challenge the evil ghost alone and kill the female ghost directly.

But he didn't have much expectations, because Leng Yue had said before that he didn't have much confidence, otherwise he would have already taken action against the female ghost when he met her at the edge of the village.

So Leng Yue can only be a bodyguard at best, not a thug.

After listening to Xia Qi's analysis, Leng Yue also affirmed:

"If we can find a way to resolve its grievances, there is still a way to get rid of it easily, but if we can't find a way to resolve it, we will have to fight head-on, but that will be difficult."

"There is no word "difficult" in the dictionary of genius. As long as you are my bodyguard and protect me properly, I will definitely be able to find a way to resolve its resentment."

Xia Qi's promise is full of confidence, not that he is really sure, but that he must believe that he is sure.

After deciding how to solve the incident, Xia Qi fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep without even taking off his shoes.

The candle that was swinging faintly was blown out at some point, and the room was completely dark. Only the patter of rain could be heard.

"Hey... wake up..."

"Wake up quickly..."

Xia Tianqi was sleeping soundly when he felt his body being jostled and his ears were filled with Leng Yue's mean voice.

Opening his eyes, Xia Qi asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you don't dare to go out and pee."

"No, it's the coffin that's moving."

Hearing this, Xia Qi felt as if someone had poured cold water on her body, and she instantly sat up energetically.
