Infinite flow: I have a trick! I have a trick for fighting ghosts

Everyone followed Sun Gou'er through an alley, and after turning several corners, they arrived at a red-painted gate.

From a distance, you can see a small building on both sides of the yard made of red mud.

Sun Gou'er opened the door and said

"Dear detectives, this town is very poor, and a lot of strange things have happened recently. Most of the elderly people with children in the town have been taken away, so half the population is gone."

"Strange things happen so often in this town, and I don't dare let you stay anywhere else, so I can only ask you to stay on the second floor of my house."

Sun Gou'er's voice was somewhat euphemistic.

"It's okay, we don't mind."

Li Mingjie responded. The old man smiled and let everyone into the yard.

Then he took out a match from his white mourning clothes and lit the white lantern hanging at the door.

"Old man, why are you lighting these white lanterns when it's raining?"

Zhang Jiaqiao, the gentle young man wearing glasses who had been silent among the crowd, asked.

Sun Gou'er smiled, slammed the door shut, and locked it.

Seeing this scene, everyone frowned and became tense, their alertness evident.

Sun Gou'er turned around, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his wrinkled old face.

"My apologies, Mr. and Miss Detectives, but our town's ancestors left behind an unwritten rule: lights at the door and no lights at home."

"Any unclean creature outside the door will be attracted by the light at the door, protecting the sleeping people inside. Strange things have been happening in the town recently, so we can only follow the rules of our ancestors to gain their protection."

"The reason for locking the door is to prevent things outside from being attracted by the light and breaking in to hurt people."

Although Sun Gou'er's explanation sounded reasonable, the doubts in everyone's minds were not completely eliminated.

"This……"

Li Mingjie wanted to say something, but there was a loud thunder and heavy rain poured down.

The raindrops poured down, hitting the ground hard, splashing water.

"Come in quickly. Only my wife and son live on the first floor. You all live on the second floor."

The old man quickly invited everyone into the house to shelter from the rain.

Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, they had no choice but to give up in the pouring rain.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and in just a few breaths, day turned into night. The darkness was so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe.

The darkness is like a huge monster, ready to devour everything at any time.

An ominous "storm" is coming.

Sun Gou'er's wife is a fool, sloppy and crazy.

She looked at everyone stupidly, drooling and mumbling

"You... are all bad people! Bad people will die, hehehe."

Sun Gou'er's son is a deformed child and looks scary.

"Sun Bitch, take your mother back quickly."

Sun Jiangou hurriedly took his mother back to the inner room.

Sun Gou'er was a native of the countryside, with little education. He was afraid that people would dislike him, so he spoke awkwardly.

"This is my son. He's easy to raise because of his humble name. Please don't mind."

"Everyone, please go back upstairs first. I guess it will take until midnight tonight. I will take you to the Qiao family's old house tomorrow." Sun Gou'er said.

"Old man, can you tell us what happened in the Qiao family's old house? All the servants hanged themselves overnight?"

Zhang Jiaqiao spoke while holding up his glasses.

What everyone needs most now is not anything else but to obtain as much information as possible.

Sun Gou'er thought for a few seconds, a look of fear on his face.

"Everyone, sit down and let's talk."

His voice trembled slightly, as if he was recalling something terrible.

Everyone sat on small wooden stools and listened attentively to Sun Gou'er's speech.

"I don't know much. I only heard it from my father when I was a child. He always told me strange stories about the Qiao family to scare me."

Sun Gou'er spoke slowly, his voice carrying the vicissitudes of time.

"The Qiao family is the richest family in our town. My father said that the Qiao family married off their eldest son to a beautiful wife seventy or eighty years ago. Since the wife was brought home, the family has been celebrating and the old lady of the Qiao family has been dreaming day and night of having a big fat boy."

"Who knew that after a year, the beautiful daughter-in-law still couldn't give birth to a big fat boy. Mrs. Qiao was almost worried to death. She went out of town to invite a master to see why the daughter-in-law couldn't give birth to a child."

"The master examined her and prescribed a medicine. Sure enough, two days later, the beautiful wife became pregnant."

"During the pregnancy, the Qiao family treated this beautiful daughter-in-law to delicious food and drink. Who would have thought that after nine months of care, the baby would be a girl."

Nanyu frowned and thought to himself, could it be that this daughter-in-law has come back for revenge?

"The old lady of the Qiao family likes fat boys. I heard from my father that the daughter-in-law was bullied to death by more than a dozen people when she went to the town to buy things."

"Then the eldest son of the Qiao family died suddenly overnight without any warning, and more than a dozen people in the town also died. My father always scared me that if I didn't study hard, that beautiful daughter-in-law would appear behind me!"

As Sun Gou'er's voice fell, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

The pale lightning illuminated the unlit room, and also illuminated Sun Gou'er's pale hair and wrinkled, dark face for a moment.

In an instant, an inexplicable sense of horror spread.

Wang Jiaxue, the most timid one, was a little scared and quietly approached Jiali, the only girl in the team.

Her hands were a little cold, and she spoke softly

"Sister Jiali, I'm a little scared. Can I lean on you?"

Jiali neither refused nor responded, so Wang Jiaxue assumed that she agreed and carefully moved her body closer to Jiali.

Jiali could faintly smell the faint scent of laundry detergent on Wang Jiaxue.

This fear was not the fear brought by the story Liu Gou'er had just told, but the fear of other creatures in the darkness.

Liu Gouer coughed, waved his hand and stood up.

"Dear detectives, you may go upstairs and rest. I will take you to the Qiao family residence tomorrow morning after the rain stops."

"By the way, if you hear a loud crash at night, please don't panic. This is normal. As long as everyone keeps quiet and doesn't make any noise, everything will be fine."

Sun Gou'er gave everyone a final reminder and then returned to the inner room.

"What's that loud noise? Are they going to..."

Li Mingjie spoke in a low voice, his eyes full of disgust.

"What are you thinking? Take more abstinence pills, you beast."

Shangguan Qingye said to Li Mingjie jokingly.

Li Mingjie was not angry and followed everyone upstairs.

Although the sky was dark and gloomy, at least I could see the things in the house clearly.

There are three two-meter beds, a table and several old color photos hanging on the wall on the second floor.

The photos looked a little blurry in the dim light.
