After a while, Shen Qingqing, who had gone out to kill chickens and pluck them, came back. Seeing the slender figure squatting in the yard, she smiled and joked: "Sister Ning came at the right time. We just killed the chickens. Don't leave at noon. Stay here."
Come down and eat chicken stewed with mushrooms.”
"Just now Xuebao was saying that the rabbit meat you cooked was delicious, which made me salivate. Now here comes the chicken stewed with mushrooms. This time it's so good that I can't bear to leave!"
Ning followed the words and stepped forward to take the basin in her hand, "Here, I'll help you carry it. Just hold the knife."
As she got closer, Shen Qingqing realized that there was a layer of black air between her eyebrows, and she was not very energetic. She frowned and asked: "Sister Ning, have you been to any unclean place these days?"
"Unclean place?"
"For example, a cemetery or a haunted house."
Ning was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand something. She was shocked and frightened as she told about the strange things that happened on the construction site, and finally asked with lingering fear: "So Xingtang bought a cemetery at a high price?"
Shen Qingqing nodded, "It's very possible. Let's prepare lunch first, and I'll accompany you to take a look after dinner."
*
The land Qi Xingtang bought is located in the southeast corner of Ningyang County. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The high mountains block the sun, like a giant umbrella held above the flat ground, making the flat ground dark and gloomy.
Shen Qingqing watched from a distance for a while, and asked Qi and his wife in confusion: "Why did you choose such a crappy place?"
Qi Xingtang looked embarrassed, "The land seller Yazi said that this place has mountains and rivers, and it is a good place for wealth. I thought Xuebao's business has just started, and the business will be better if I buy the land where Jucai is..."
His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he closed his mouth with a guilty conscience.
Shen Qingqing sneered, "It's not about gathering wealth, it's more like gathering yin."
"Yeah, Ju Yin is pretty much the same, hehe."
Another laughing voice sounded from the carriage.
Shen Qingqing: "?"
As soon as I turned my head, I saw a crack in the car window curtain, and a little devil with a big head, big eyes, and a thin neck hanging upside down outside the crack.
Shen Qingqing narrowed her eyes, showed a "kind" smile, and lightly opened her red lips: "Little one, you are very brave."
The kid blinked his eyes in shock and blurted out: "Fuck, can you see me?"
"Not only can I see it, but I can also catch it." Shen Qingqing quickly stretched out her hand, grabbed the dull hair on its head, and chuckled: "Are you surprised, are you surprised?"
This time the kid couldn't laugh anymore. He grinned and cried like a 200-pound child: "Master, I'm just a little bit skinny. I've never done any harm to anyone. Please let go of your hand. If you don't let me go, I'm going to become bald. Wow."
Woo..."
Shen Qingqing flicked her arm and pulled it into the carriage, "Tell me, what's going on here?"
The little ghost knelt down obediently and answered: "I was a person who died of starvation in the drought eight years ago. After my death, my family threw me in this mountain. There are probably fifty or sixty people like me who were thrown in the mountain by their family.
More lost kids came one after another, and there seemed to be fifty or sixty in total."
"We are all good ghosts. We have never harmed anyone, not even a bird or an insect!" The kid forced out a flattering smile, "So Master, can you not arrest us?"
This is not a lie. If the kid really wants to harm people, those workers will not only suffer from headaches and fever.
Shen Qingqing let go and continued to ask: "What about reincarnation? You don't want to be reincarnated?"
"No, no, no." The kid shook his head crazily, "It's too hard to be a human being. Except for enjoying the blessings in the first two years after I was born, I have to work all the time. The more I work, the poorer I get, and the poorer I get, the more I work... What do you mean by this?
, it would be better to be a ghost."
Being a ghost doesn't require you to eat or drink, let alone work. When you're bored, you can just find someone to peel yourself off, and if you don't want to move, you can just hang up on a tree and sleep. It's not too happy at all.
Shen Qingqing looked disgusted, "Can't we have some ideals and be reincarnated into a wealthy family and enjoy a lifetime of happiness?"
The kid shook his head with a firm expression, "We won't have unrealistic dreams."
"Do other ghosts think the same way?"
"Well, the one who wanted to leave left eight years ago, and the rest all have the same idea as me."
The kid looked at her pitifully and said: "Master, just promise me, this place is really not suitable for people to live in. Even if you send us away, there will be lost ghosts coming later. You can't just stay here doing nothing every day."
Are you catching ghosts here?"
Shen Qingqing raised her index finger and made a sign of silence. She opened the car curtain and observed the situation in front. Sure enough, as the kid said, there were black shadows scurrying everywhere in the mountains and forests, and the air was floating and cold.
She stepped back, turned her head to look at the Qi family couple huddled in the corner, and said solemnly: "This land is a place for gathering yin. It lacks sunlight and the yin energy is too strong. It is no longer useful. Let's find another place."
Qi Xingtang looked down the window, looking at the mountains of bricks and tiles, and then thinking about the money he had thrown away, he felt unwilling to do so, "Isn't there a way to remedy it?"
"Yes, just move the mountain to the south."
Move that mountain to the south...
Qi Xingtang: "Forget it, I'd better give up this land."
Ning comforted him gently: "It's just a piece of land. If you don't need it, you can buy it again. As long as the people are fine, it will be fine."
"I know... I just feel bad about being deceived all the time." Qi Xingtang sighed. He has been in business for more than 20 years, but he was deceived by a young man who was just starting out. It's really embarrassing.
Shen Qingqing glanced at the small shed built by the workers, and warned: "Let those workers move away as soon as possible, otherwise their lives will be in danger if the yin energy enters the body any longer."
"Is it so serious?" Qi Xingtang was startled and immediately jumped out of the carriage and raised his hand to call the foreman, "Let me know, this land is no longer needed. Let's pack up and go home."
"Go home?" The foreman's face looked unhappy, "We just transported the bricks and tiles here yesterday and it took a lot of effort. Now you tell me to go home?"
"It's not that I want you to go home, but this place is not for humans. It is haunted, did you know?" Qi Xingtang explained, with a tough attitude: "Listen to me, pack your things and leave as soon as possible. The wages for these days will be paid."
, I won’t lose you.”
The foreman was angry but did not dare to let it go. He muttered "I know" and returned to the hut where he was temporarily staying.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, a worker patted his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong? What did the boss say?"
"My boss asked us to pack up and go home!"
The foreman cursed with a dark face: "I have been moving things and building sheds these past few days. I am as tired as a dog. After finally settling down, he asked us to go home again. Isn't this a joke?"
"But it's all up to you. You've been shouting all day about a ghost passing by and trying to arrest someone. This time it's great, it scared the boss away!"
The worker scratched his head and said, "But we're not talking nonsense. This place is really haunted."
The foreman grabbed a rag and threw it on his face, "My family is so poor that we don't even have rice to cook with. Are you still afraid of ghosts? Poverty is much scarier than ghosts, okay?" This chapter has been completed!
