no soul

Today's early morning is not sunny, but at noon, it becomes more and more drowsy. Dark clouds are everywhere, and the white light can't break through the gaps. The sky is dark and shallow, and the world is oppressive.

"Hahahahahaha!" The girl danced with laughter, and under the gloomy sky and in the deserted house, she came to the world like a ghost.

"Fuck..." Lin Hong's skin was aroused by her stern laughter.

Duan Yu was more scared than him, so he shrank behind him again.

"Hahahahahahahahaha..." The girl staggered to and fro, turning a blind eye to them and smiling to herself.

"Where did the girl come from?" Wan Guchuan asked her.

The girl turned a deaf ear to his words, shook her head and looked around, as if she was very happy alone.

Wan Guchuan persevered: "Have you seen any strange people?"

The girl grinningly picked up the dust on the ground, let go of it, and watched them fall to the ground, and he clapped his hands happily because of this, "Okay, okay! Hahahahahahahaha!"

Wan Guchuan was silent for a while, then asked again: "What exactly is the 'someone' you are talking about?"

Duan Yu looked at the girl and then at Wan Guchuan, wondering where his patience came from...

Holding her dirty skirt with her dirty hands, the girl stepped on the protruding stone with her tattered shoes, leaving footprints on it, laughed loudly again, and ran away in a flutter.

"Hey!" Lin Hong's eyes caught up with her, fearing that she would disappear again, but she just ran into the lobby, ran around in a crooked way, stepped on the chair of the chief seat, and sat on the altar .

The three followed her in again.

Wan Guchuan stood in front of her and continued to ask: "Why don't everyone believe you? How did you say it?"

The girl put her hands on her side, shook her head, her feet kept shaking, and hummed a song with a strange melody.

"She is really crazy... She can't ask anything." Duan Yu concluded.

Wan Guchuan still asked persistently: "Why was your cat boiled?"

The girl was stunned when she heard the words, her expression suddenly became terrified, her lips began to tremble, "Cat... cat... cat... my cat... my cat... my cat..."

The three of them glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that there was some connection.

But the girl suddenly burst into tears, crying and screaming, "Cat! Cat! My cat!"

Wan Guchuan: "..."

Lin Hong: "..."

Duan Yu: "..."

Why did you ask the girl to cry...

Wan Guchuan was at a loss.

Duan Yu chose to let himself go.

Lin Hong quickly lowered his voice to comfort her, "Girl, don't cry..."

The girl cried more and more, "My cat...my cat...my cat..." Tears and snot flowed down together.

Wan Guchuan had never encountered such a situation before, he thought for a while, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over.

"Gu..." Lin Hong stopped talking abruptly, seeing Wan Guchuan's movements, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

His eyes fell on the plain white handkerchief in Wan Guchuan's hand.

Wan Guchuan moved forward a few more points.

Lin Hong suddenly raised his hand, froze for a while, then put it down again—he wanted to stop Wan Guchuan, and he could just give this girl his handkerchief...but suddenly remembered that the handkerchief he was carrying in his arms was Wan Guchuan What fell on him before...

This inexplicable emotion tortured his whole body to be stiff.

The girl didn't take Wan Guchuan's handkerchief, and sniffed the snot fiercely, then wiped away the tears and unrecoverable snot with her sleeve, holding the silver thread between the sleeve and nose.

She was still howling and crying, tearing and tearing, and she was so sloppy that she didn't look like the young lady of the Chen family back then.

Lin Hong was still looking at the handkerchief, trying to pretend nothing happened, but his heart was still flustered, "I don't care about your handkerchief, so take it back."

He wanted to twitch the corners of his lips jokingly, but it was as stiff as a wry smile.

It's hard to pretend to be generous...

Wan Guchuan took back the handkerchief, and Lin Hong felt a burst of relief...

The girl was still sobbing, when the gate of the house was knocked.

The knock on the door echoed through the house.

Who will come at this time?

"Pawn shop owner?" Lin Hong looked at the door, feeling strange.

When he opened the door, it was Li Qingshuang who had just bid farewell.

Holding her son in one hand and a basket in the other, the young woman stood at the door and glanced into the courtyard.

"What's the matter with Mrs. Li?" Lin Hong asked.

Li Qingshuang withdrew her gaze, pursed her lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Just now when I was asked about my legs, I was rude to my lord, and afterwards I felt it was inappropriate, so I came here to apologize to you."

Lin Hong looked at her for a while, then said, "I didn't say anything abruptly, but I offended you so much."

"Madam Li, please come in." Lin Hong opened the door and motioned for her to come in.

Li Qingshuang took a step back, "I won't come in." She handed the basket in her hand to Lin Hong, "This is a little wish from me, and I hope the adults will accept it."

"Madam Li is too polite." Lin Hong refused.

After several refusals, you come and go, but you can't refuse, so Lin Hong has no choice but to accept it.

"How does Mrs. Li know that we live here?" Wan Guchuan asked Li Qingshuang who was standing at the door in the lobby.

The girl in white had stopped crying at this time, and was sitting on the altar beside Wan Guchuan and Duan Yu in a state of mind.

"I asked the neighbors, and I found out that the three adults live here and are here to investigate the case, so they are offended." Li Qingshuang said.

Lin Hong was wondering just now why she started calling them "adults", and she was more polite, and even made a special trip to apologize... It turned out to be a misunderstanding from the neighbors...

Lin Hong suddenly had some doubts about what she said, "my late father didn't care for fame and fortune"...

The three did not explain to her that they were not from the temple.

In the short silence, a child's crisp laughter suddenly came.

They looked at the source of the voice. It was Li Qingshuang's son, Li Youshuang, who was smiling sweetly. His bright eyes were crooked, and his small mouth was wide open, revealing his newly born front teeth.

A smile instantly lit up the barren old house.

Lin Hong also laughed, "The boy is really likable."

Li Qingshuang laughed, "No one plays with him, he usually likes to tease himself by himself."

"It's nice to be a child, without worries." Lin Hong looked at Li Youshuang with envy.

But after looking at it, I found something was wrong...

He's been staring at something and laughing...

It wasn't that he was teasing himself, it was...someone was teasing him...

Lin Hong suddenly became a little stiff, and slowly turned his head following his gaze...

Behind him, there is only a huge empty house...with no one...

Li Youshuang laughed again.

This time, the soft laughter reverberated in the house, making Lin Hong terrified...

"Then let's take our leave first and don't disturb the adults." Li Qingshuang saluted and left with Li Youshuang.

When he was leaving, Li Youshuang turned his head and looked at that place reluctantly...

The door slammed shut.

Lin Hong stood where he was, not daring to move.

someone.

There are people in this house.

There are "people" other than them.

His mind was spinning wildly.

Li Youshuang was very shy of strangers, when he teased him in Li's house before, he ran away in fright.

Then who is the person in this house...why is he not afraid...

Is it...the dead Li Tiancheng...his grandfather, of course he won't be afraid...

"Lin Hong." Wan Guchuan called him from behind.

Before Lin Hong came back to his senses, he turned his head to look at him blankly.

Wan Guchuan turned his eyes sideways, "Why are you in a daze?"

"No...it's nothing." Lin Hong didn't dare to say.

Perhaps they were standing around someone else...

Lin Hong carried the basket and walked into the lobby again. Along the way, he was wary of the place Li Youshuang was looking at just now...

Fortunately nothing happened.

"I think it's a little strange..." Lin Hong stood beside them, his voice could not help but lowered a little, "She thought we were people in the court and acted like this, so how could she say that Li Tiancheng is not a man who is greedy for fame and wealth? Credibility?"

Wan Guchuan pondered, "Perhaps she is right...but the reason she came here is not because she thinks we are from the court."

Lin Hong remembered the look she had looked into the door, she seemed a little panicked... Then what is she here for... What is the purpose...

"Hahahahahahahahahaha..." The girl who was still crying just now suddenly laughed again, kicked her legs hanging in the air, and just kicked the basket in Lin Hong's hand.

Lin Hong was distracted, she couldn't hold the basket steadily, and she directly lifted the basket into the air!

The whole process was caught off guard, and none of the three expected it. The unknown soup in the basket was scattered in the air. It was light red in color, like a huge fan.

Amid the loud noise of the broken porcelain bowl, the soup suddenly fell to the ground and splashed again!

Something splashed into Lin Hong's eyes unbiasedly!

Because the things in his hand were kicked out, Lin Hong, who was already a little unstable, suddenly lost his eyesight, let out a low cry, and fell to the ground!

"Lin Hong!" Wan Guchuan failed to stop him.

Duan Yu exclaimed, and the whole person was frightened.

The girl was still laughing wildly.

It was the soup that splashed into Lin Hong's eyes.

I don't know the ingredients of the soup, but it is hot and painful in my eyes.

Lin Hong could only sit on the ground, tightly covering his eyes with his hands, trembling a little because of the discomfort.

"Lin Hong!" Wan Guchuan's heart sank, and he stepped forward and squatted in front of him, "How are you? Did you get into your eyes?" hands over eyes.Lin Hong avoided him, still covering his eyes stubbornly.

It hurts...it hurts...

"Lin Hong!" Panicked, Wan Guchuan grabbed his hand, pulled it away forcefully, and cupped his face with the other hand to look at him.

Lin Hong closed his eyes tightly, tears flowed from the slits of his eyes, trembling slightly.

It hurts a lot.

Wan Guchuan took out the handkerchief from his arms, took the kettle on the table, poured warm water on the handkerchief, and ignored it when the running water wet his clothes.

He held Lin Hong's face in his hands, and carefully wiped his eyes. His dark eyebrows became darker because of his concentration.

Water flowed in through the slits of the eyes and flowed out with the soup just now.

Lin Hong opened his eyes, the thick and long eyelashes were wet, hanging down to the corners of the eyes, the eyes were red and wet, and they were still blinking.

"Are you ready?" Wan Guchuan let go of his hanging heart.

"Hmm..." Lin Hong blinked tentatively again, and the watery light was swaying inside.

Wan Guchuan looked at him with deep eyes, and the thumb holding his chin inadvertently ran over his lips.

Lin Hong froze for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at him.

Looking at each other, Wan Guchuan looked sideways, stood up, and stretched out his hand to pull him up too.

Lin Hong was still a little dazed, his heart racing wildly in his chest.

When I opened my eyes just now, Wan Guchuan's handsome face was close at hand, and the eagerness in my eyes was about to overflow... There was also the remaining strength in his hands, and the gentleness on his face...

And... Lin Hong pursed his lips, feeling a little hot...

To... die...

The girl was out of breath from laughing to herself, and ran out of the lobby gracefully.

Wan Guchuan stepped forward with long legs and followed her.

"Hey!" Duan Yu and Lin Hong also chased after him.

The girl ran towards the wind and rain corridor.

She didn't laugh crazily anymore, she was humming a song, spinning and dancing in the wind and rain corridor, if you ignore her messy hair and stains on her body, then this must be an innocent girl.

"Where have you been hiding all this time?" Wan Guchuan strode behind her and asked her again.

The girl with her back to them stopped and turned her head slowly, with a strange smile, "Hide? Why hide?"

She ran forward madly again, "Hahahahahahaha! Why are you hiding! No one knows me!"

Wan Guchuan stopped when he heard the words.

Lin Hong almost bumped into his back, and Duan Yu, who was pulling Lin Hong, also stopped, poked his head out, looked at the girl in front and then at Wan Guchuan, "What, what...what's wrong?"

The crooked figure of the girl had disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"She's gone again! Don't you want to chase after me!" Duan Yu was afraid and felt that this was the key.

"She will appear again." Wan Guchuan said.

Lin Hong looked at him, hesitated for a while, and asked, "What did you think of?"

Wan Guchuan glanced at him, "I'm thinking, maybe that invisible person isn't hiding, but——mingling among the crowd."

Lin Hong was taken aback for a moment, "How can this be done?"

"If there are enough servants in the Chen family's mansion, no one will be able to remember each of them," Wan Guchuan said.

"But someone will know him." Lin Hong said, "And if there are only those 22 servants in the Chen family, it's impossible..."

Lin Hong suddenly felt something, "Unless—"

"Unless the fact book we saw was indeed destroyed by someone." Wan Guchuan continued.

"Yes!" Lin Hong said, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. This unknown murderer mingled with many servants and used Feng Shui to do harm to people! Afterwards, the evidence was destroyed and the records in the history book were removed. .”

Lin Hong was thoughtful, "At that time, there was a special person in charge of the record book, and the servants couldn't touch the record book at all, let alone tamper with it, unless it was destroyed after the Chen family was completely destroyed. Who would it be..."

"The owner of the pawn shop." Wan Guchuan said.

Lin Hong raised his eyes and looked at him, "I think so too. He told us that the Chen family didn't have many servants, and he seemed to know it well, but before he said that he just arrived here and bought this house in a daze. I'm afraid it means No way."

Lin Hong continued: "Furthermore, when we first came to see this house, he revealed something inauspicious about this house. I think that no matter whether the customer knows it or not, it is impossible for anyone who really wants to sell the house to sell it before the transaction is completed. Bring it up—he's making sure we don't know it's about us."

"He has been playing the role of a profit-seeking businessman. He is afraid that we will be harmed by the feng shui of this house. He said it miraculously. In fact, he wants us to believe that everything that happens in this house is because of the curse of feng shui." Lin Hong said.

Lin Hong made sense of himself, but why did the owner of the pawn shop destroy the matter book, and what did he want to do...

Who is the person lurking in the Chen family... who is pretending to be a ghost and using Feng Shui to carry out "scourge"?

What role is Li Qingshuang playing...

Also, who is the "person" that Li Youshuang saw...

Is there any connection between these...
