"I also feel that there are no ghosts in this world. I think what happened to Geng Laosan and the others is just a coincidence."
"That's right, Geng Fang is definitely being alarmist. I think Geng Fang is afraid that more and more people will join this business and steal his business."
The villagers were talking a lot, but most of them chose to believe Qin Yu. They did not think that Geng Laosan's incident was related to the ghost's revenge.
Many people even looked at Geng Fang with suspicion, feeling that Geng Fang was being too mean-spirited. If everyone could make money together, why bother to make up things about ghosts' revenge to scare people?
"Okay, since Geng Jianguo has nothing to do, let's all disperse. As for whether the three of you want to go to the ancestral hall, it's up to you." Great uncle stamped his cane a few times and said.
"Great uncle... we'd better go with you."
Although they felt that the death of Geng Laosan and the others had nothing to do with ghosts, the three of them finally decided to go to the ancestral hall with their great-uncle, just for peace of mind.
Uncle Tai left, and the crowd dispersed, leaving only a few people to help clean up the filth on Geng Jianguo's body. At this time, it was time for the villagers to go to bed. There was still work to do the next day.
Looking at Geng Fang's leaving figure, Qin Yu blinked his eyelids twice, then looked at the three Meng Yao girls and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep well tonight."
"Why?" Meng Yao asked confused.
"You'll know when the time comes." Qin Yu kept it secret without directly telling the reason, and then walked towards the direction of the hotel with the three girls.
It's night!
No moon, no stars, no light!
In the village, there were only ancestral halls and a few intersections with weak street lights emitting light. After the Geng Jianguo incident, many villagers returned home and went to bed one after another.
It's dead of night! In this winter night, there is not even the chirping of insects.
In the Gengjia Yun ancestral hall, there are three figures kneeling in front of the memorial tablets in the ancestral hall. These three are the three remaining among Geng Laosan and his group.
"You can properly apologize to your ancestors here."
The great-uncle stood in front of the three people. After looking at the three people with a pair of complicated eyes, he slowly walked out of the ancestral hall with a cane. Then, he closed the door of the ancestral hall, leaving only these three people.
They knelt in the ancestral hall and looked at each other.
On the other side is Geng Jianguo's home.
Geng Jianguo's relatives also went back their own way. Geng Jianguo had been cleaned up and helped to the bed. Geng Jianguo's only son also went back to his room to sleep. The only one looking at Geng Jianguo was Geng Jianguo's wife.
"Jianguo, you must not get into trouble." Geng Jianguo's wife looked at Geng Jianguo lying on the bed and said worriedly: "If something happens to you, how will Lijun and I live in the future?"
When Geng Jianguo's wife finished saying this, the door was suddenly pushed open and a cold wind blew. Geng Jianguo's wife was startled and turned around quickly.
"Mom, I can't sleep. Let me wait with you for Dad to wake up." The door was pushed open, and standing at the door was Geng Jianguo's son Geng Lijun, a boy of five or six years old.
"Nonsense, you are about to take the high school entrance examination this year, and you have to go to class tomorrow. Take the time to sleep, otherwise you will not have the energy to go to class tomorrow."
For Geng Jianguo's wife, her son's study is the top priority at home. The young man said that Jianguo would not wake up for another hour or two, and it would be early morning by then.
Seeing his mother's resolute attitude, Geng Lijun could only silently close the door and walk back to his room.
Half an hour later, Geng Jianguo's wife was about to lie on the bed and wait because she was a little cold. Suddenly, there was another sound from the door.
"You damn child, I told you to let you go to bed. I will take care of your father."
Geng Jianguo's wife heard the movement at the door and thought her son was coming in again, so she cursed without looking back.
However, after Geng Jianguo's wife finished scolding, she found that there was no voice of her son behind her, only the squeaking sound of the door being pushed open. In addition, a cold wind blew up and hit the back of her neck, giving her instant goosebumps.
Got up.
With doubts, Geng Jianguo's wife turned around. However, when she turned around, Geng Jianguo's wife was frightened and sat down on the bed, trembling.
"You...you are a human or a ghost!"
Geng Jianguo's wife's teeth were chattering when she spoke, but she can't be blamed for this. Anyone who suddenly has the door pushed open in the middle of the night, and there is a disheveled person standing at the door will have such fear.
.
"Do you think I'm a human or a ghost?"
Eerie laughter came from the figure at the door. Geng Jianguo's wife shivered in fright, and replied tremblingly: "I...I don't know."
"Then just see for yourself."
The figure at the door suddenly lifted up his long hair with both hands, revealing that face. When Geng Jianguo's wife saw this face, her eyes turned white on the spot and she almost fainted from fright.
Because this is a face that is bleeding, and the blood is constantly flowing down the ends of the hair. What is even more terrifying is that there are no eyes on that face, only the whites of the eyes.
Geng Jianguo's wife was so frightened that she huddled in the corner of the bed, but a strange smile appeared on this figure's face, and then she walked lightly towards Geng Jianguo on the bed.
Yes, the feet of this figure were floating in the air, which made Geng Jianguo's wife even more frightened. She quickly prayed: "Please let me go. We know we were wrong. My husband took it away."
I will return the money to you, and if it is not enough, I can burn more paper money for you."
"It's too late. Your husband made me soak in the water for three days. I want to kill him to take revenge."
The figure stretched out his hands, which were also blood-stained hands. Seeing these hands, Geng Jianguo's wife rolled her eyes and fainted completely.
Geng Jianguo's wife was unconscious. The figure looked at Geng Jianguo lying on the bed and called out in a dark voice: "Geng Jianguo, get up."
With a wave of the figure's right hand, Geng Jianguo stood up lightly, and then got off the bed, following the figure like a puppet out of the room, out of the house, and towards the river.
There was no wind in the country, and the figure led Geng Jianguo to the riverside. There were many yellow papers and candles on the riverside at the moment. This was the place where Geng Laosan and Geng Daming invited the goddess to summon their souls by the riverside.
After the figure came here with the dull-eyed Geng Jianguo, he stood quietly for a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour passed, the figure spoke again.
"Geng Jianguo, pay the price for your sins."
Bang!
The figure walked towards Geng Jianguo, and a hemp rope appeared in his hand. Seeing that the figure was about to approach Geng Jianguo, a voice sounded at this moment.
"Why, do ghosts still need to use ropes to kill people? This is the first time I've seen it."
Upon hearing this young voice, the figure immediately looked in one direction, where four figures appeared.
"I have only heard of ghosts strangling people to death, but I have never heard of ghosts using ropes to kill people. This time it really opened my eyes."
The one who spoke was naturally Qin Yu, and the four figures were Qin Yu and the three women.
In fact, that night, Qin Yu and the three women did not go into the room to sleep after returning to the hotel. Instead, a quarter of an hour later, Qin Yu took the three women out of the hotel, and then walked to the hotel not far from Geng Jianguo.
Waiting in an alley.
Therefore, when Geng Jianguo followed this figure out of the house, all this was in the eyes of Qin Yu and the others. At that time, Meng Yao was still surprised how Qin Yu could predict that a ghost would come to Geng Jianguo's house. Could it be the deceased?
The ghost is unwilling to accept that Geng Jianguo escaped and comes to take revenge again?
However, Qin Yu's words made Meng Yao even more confused.
When Meng Yao said those words, Qin Yu smiled and just replied: "Sometimes it's not necessarily the ghost who takes revenge?"
If it's not a ghost seeking revenge, is it still a human being?
Meng Yao immediately thought of the parents and relatives of the deceased. However, the parents of the deceased were just ordinary people. How could they have such great ability? If they really had such great ability, they would not have been able to get the 18,000 yuan to recover the body.
If they don't come out, even their son won't commit suicide by jumping into the river because he doesn't have the bride price.
Qin Yu did not answer this question, so until now when he saw this figure, Meng Yao was not sure whether it was a human or a ghost. If it were a human, how could it have its feet floating in the air?
You know, following along this way, Meng Yao saw that the figure's feet were not touching the ground. Only a ghost can do this.
"Why don't you speak? Are you afraid that your secret will be exposed if you speak?" Qin Yu stood ten meters away from this figure. At this moment, this figure was standing on the edge of the Yangtze River, but Qin Yu and others were standing on the edge of the Yangtze River.
They were standing on the embankment above, looking down at each other.
"Who are you?" The figure finally spoke, still with a ghostly voice.
"It doesn't matter who I am, as long as I know you're not a ghost." Qin Yu smiled, looked at the figure, and replied firmly.
"Why do you conclude that I am not a ghost?"
"It can be seen from Geng Jianguo's condition that Geng Jianguo was not possessed by an evil spirit, but by a kind of poison. I have never known that there are ghosts that can use poison in revenge. Is there any ghost that would be so troublesome?
Therefore, I knew in my heart at that time that Geng Jianguo’s illness was caused by someone poisoning him.”
"Actually, I not only know that you are a human, but I also guessed who you are!" Qin Yu looked at the figure with a smile, "Geng Jianguo told me who wanted to harm him."
"This is impossible. Geng Jianguo just woke up and fainted within a short while. He didn't say anything." The figure spoke, but he immediately shut up after he opened his mouth, because he knew that he
Opening his mouth completely exposed the fact that he was not a ghost. (To be continued)
