Push the ghost talker back

Ten minutes ago, Old Yanzheng went to the third floor alone to do the final finishing work on the house of one of the deceased.

Coincidentally, he had just arrived in front of the door, and there were footsteps going upstairs one after the other in the corridor.Standing there, Lao Yan vaguely heard them talking about "haunted house" and "responsible".

In the end, a thin man stood in front of the door of the opposite house and took out the key cursingly. It seemed that he was the head of the house.

And behind him stood a young man wearing a hat. He stood on a step below, leaning his back against the wall and waiting indifferently for the man to open the door.

……interesting.Lao Yan could tell at a glance that this young man had opened his eyes, and he could also tell at a glance that he had not undergone too systematic training, and his aura was a bit messy.

At this time, the neighbor opposite turned his head and finally noticed Lao Yan opposite.

"Hey, you're—"

The neighbor always felt that he had seen this white-haired man recently, but couldn't remember where he had seen him, so he let out a cry of surprise.

Lao Yan didn't want to talk to him too much, coughed twice, and handed him a cigarette: "The relatives of this family, come and see."

"Oh, oh, sorry for you."

After that, Lao Yan took out another one and sent it towards the young man.

As expected by Lao Yan, the neighbor recognized what kind of smoke it was at this time and was amazed.However, when the young man leaning against the wall saw the cigarette, he frowned subconsciously.

Wait a moment……

Old Yan was doubting his eyes.

Is he...disgusting?Are you ignorant of the goods? Hey, this kind of cigarettes can't be bought by ordinary people!

For so many years, every time Lao Yan met someone for the first time, as long as he smoked a cigarette, the way others looked at him changed immediately.

Well, the look in the eyes of the person in front of him has indeed changed, but the direction of the change is very strange.He looked at the cigarette carefully and said "thank you", but he just held the cigarette in his mouth and didn't smoke it.

Tsk, young man, you caught my attention...

Seeing that the neighbor was eager to come up to talk to him, Lao Yan didn't stay any longer, opened the door and went in, and closed the door with a bang, leaving the neighbor with a cold iron door.

At this time, the young man's mood suddenly improved. He looked at the lonely back of his neighbor who couldn't agree with him, and chuckled softly:

"Don't look, is it possible that you expect him to invite you in for tea? Also, I remember that you don't even want to take a second look at the door of this house these days."

"What do you know."

The man turned around resentfully, rubbing the cigarette he was not willing to smoke in his hand: "He is definitely not an ordinary person, do you know that?"

"It's quite special to have white hair at a young age."

Xu Lingqiu glanced at the man: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, do you want to see the house?"

"Ah, look, look!"

Xiao Liu finally remembered what he asked Xu Lingqiu to do today, and opened the door. Outside, Xu Lingqiu's eyes suddenly fell on the cigarette in his hand, and he retched uncontrollably.

These days, it’s really amazing. The rich businessman, the doctor, and the aunt who sells pancakes and fruits downstairs all stuffed this kind of cigarette into his arms. For a while, Xu Lingqiu felt that now it’s not a well-off life for the whole people, but a sudden wealth for the whole people. illusion.

It's not that he didn't think about exchanging cigarettes for money in the past, but no one believed him when he sold so many at one time, and it was troublesome to sell him box by box.

Recently Xu Lingqiu often dreams at night, dreaming of a certain dance hall in Shanghai where the lights are feasting and feasting.He is not a boy who goes in to play, nor is he a dancer, but a poor kid who stands at the door and sells cigarettes with a wooden board, grabs the clothes of everyone passing by, and asks with his dirty face:

"Mister and Madam, would you like a cigarette?"

It's so pitiful that both humans and gods are angry.

On the other side, after hearing him retching, Xiao Liu looked back at him in confusion.

"It's okay, don't worry about me, I just don't like smoking now."

"Hey," Xiao Liu laughed, "Then give me the one in your hand, since you don't want it anyway."

------------

What Lu Mingran heard was Xu Lingqiu retching outside the house.

When he went up, he saw that the door of the house had not been closed in time, and he could vaguely see the situation inside.

This house was a famous haunted house before. It was said that it was a burglary, and the male owner was killed in the bedroom.After that, the house was auctioned off, and Xiao Liu approached Xu Lingqiu.

What Xiao Liu said was that I, a poor ghost, am not afraid of ghosts at all, but in fact I was so scared to death that I not only asked Xu Lingqiu to clean up the house first, but also rented out the house for a year, letting some unsuspecting male college students Come to give the room a boost of yang energy——the student didn't know where he knew about it before he quit the rent, and they beat him up hard.

Of course, Xiao Liu never mentioned the immoral things he had done in front of Xu Lingqiu.He would just sit shivering on the sofa and watch Xu Lingqiu turn around with the compass.

"It's okay, it's still clean. As I said, I have sent that man away."

The feng shui of this room was very good, and now that there are no evil spirits, Xiao Liu simply made a particularly good deal.

But Xiao Liu was still worried, with doubts shining in his eyes, he circled around Xu Lingqiu:

"Then, what should I do if something comes over from the opposite side?"

"As long as you don't go into other people's houses, nothing will find you."

Now Xiao Liu quit: "I don't care, I'm afraid, you have to leave something for me."

After all, Xiao Liu took aim at Xu Lingqiu's finger:

"I remember that you always bring blood talismans every time. I have a knife at home. Why don't you draw a hundred of them for me today and let me keep them?"

Lu Mingran outside the door couldn't stand when he heard this.

Brother, do you think the blood on your fingertips is not blood?He actually asked him to draw a hundred copies!

Xiao Liu said again: "Don't worry, I won't let you bleed in vain. I'll treat you to a good meal later."

Lu Mingran couldn't stand anymore.During the few days when Xu Lingqiu took over Xu Lingqiu's business with his vest, he forced the system to lower the difficulty of the script because he had seen how complicated the spells drawn by Xu Lingqiu's blood were.

After Xu Lingqiu finished drawing the talisman that time, he not only took a delicious meal to make up for him, but almost brought a cow to his home to make him up with pure natural milk.

You actually want to get rid of it with a meal?

Fortunately, Xu Lingqiu is not a soft-tempered person, so he said coldly:

"I don't do useless things. Also, I helped you at the beginning because you were an orphan, helpless, and I didn't take much money."

"Hahahahaha," Xiao Liu laughed loudly, "Look, you have revealed your true colors, you just hate that I gave you less money."

Xiao Liu gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"Xu Lingqiu, you are dying."

Do not save.When these four words were uttered, Xu Lingqiu stood still.

Lu Mingran also stood still.

It was mentioned in the novel that for Xu Lingqiu, the words "do nothing to save him" hurt him the most.

The boy turned his face two years ago, crying and laughing: "Xu Lingqiu, I know you saw me, why didn't you save me?"

Two years later, although Xu Lingqiu was doing things for money, he saved many, many people. He could no longer accept the feeling of powerlessness and helplessness, and he could no longer watch others die beside him.

As for Xiao Liu, he said that Xu Lingqiu was dying.

Lu Mingran recalled a plot in the novel, adjusted his breathing, and knocked on the door dutifully.

Lu Mingran squeezed his throat and said:

"Hello, the community sent a warm survey for a return visit."

The door was originally open, but as soon as little Liu Gang answered, Lu Mingran squeezed in and closed the door behind his back.

He really came back for a visit.

It was mentioned in the novel that Lao Yan distributed some small dolls in the name of giving welfare to the community.Several families near the murder scene were given dolls that had been manipulated, and the staff had hinted that they would hang things behind the doors.

As soon as he entered the room, the first thing Lu Mingran asked with a smile was: "Are you satisfied with the doll?"

With that said, Lu Mingran turned his head to look behind the door.

At this time Xu Lingqiu also noticed the green frog doll hanging on the door. He is a person in this business, and after a careful look, he saw the clue.

It seems that an expert gave pointers to this community.

It's not that Xiao Liu didn't know about it, he knew it was unusual when the person who posted it hinted at him, but it would be better if it could be safer.He wanted to blackmail some things from Xu Lingqiu to achieve double insurance.

At this point, Xu Lingqiu didn't show any good looks to Xiao Liu at all, and picked up his things to leave.

"Let me talk to you before I go."

Xu Lingqiu opened the door and said as if recalling the past:

"When you first came to me, you were helpless and looked like you were going to die, so I saved you."

Xu Lingqiu turned back with a smile:

"Now you are alive and kicking, it's already good if you don't kill others."

After that, Xu Lingqiu took him to the door and left.Lu Mingran also slipped out before he was violently beaten by Xiao Liu who had regained his senses.

To Lu Mingran's surprise, when he went downstairs, he saw Xu Lingqiu still in the community, and he seemed to be waiting for someone.

and many more……

Lu Mingran noticed that Xu Lingqiu was looking at him.

Could it be that Xu Lingqiu was waiting for him?

Xu Lingqiu really came over, he stood in front of Lu Mingran, and asked him:

"You are not a staff member in the community, are you?"

"When I helped him deal with the haunted house that year, I asked all the people in the community to find out the details of the house. The staff here rarely change, and you, I have never seen it."

Yes, you haven't seen me, but you've seen a lot of my vests.

When I was an old lady who sold pancakes, I spread pancakes for you with my own hands. You were so sour while eating that you grinned and wished me a prosperous business in the future.

Having said that, today is the official meeting.

Lu Mingran lied: "I'm new here, hello, Lu Mingran."

"Xu Lingqiu."

After all, Xu Lingqiu made a gesture to shake hands with Lu Mingran.Lu Mingran stretched out his hand reflexively, but something was stuffed into his palm.

"Have you stayed in a hotel or something recently? It's not clean. I'll give you something to protect yourself, use it first."

Eh?hotel?Not clean?

Lu Mingran was thinking blankly, pinched the talisman and lowered his head to put it in his pocket, but when he raised his head, Xu Lingqiu had disappeared.

Alas, Lu Mingran thought in his heart: Before leaving, you should say hello to me.

Then he thought of another thing, the person who seemed to be leaving hastily had always been him.

----------

Last week, Lu Mingran was flying around in his vest outside, rarely caring about Lao Yan's affairs.This evening, Lao Yan asked him to help bring some things there, and the guilty Lu Mingran immediately finished the matter, and rushed to the hotel as soon as he got the things.

Old Yanzheng was sitting at the table looking at something.Lu Mingran took out the things that Lao Yan needed from the black plastic bag, and put them on the table one by one.

The busy old Yan said without raising his head: "There are still keys."

"Oh, I put the key to the cabinet over there in my pocket."

While talking, Lu Mingran rummaged through his pockets, and found out a bunch of jingling keys, but also a yellow charm at the same time.It's not good where the thing fell, but it fell into Lao Yan's hand.

Lu Mingran was about to get it, when Lao Yan let out a "huh", he had already picked up the thing painted with cinnabar, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.

"Xiao Lu, why do you have such a thing on your body?"

"Oh, a vendor on the street gave it to me. It must mean that something bad happened to me when I stayed in a hotel recently."

When he said this, Lu Mingran looked carefully at Lao Yan's face, if there really was that in the hotel, Lao Yan would definitely know.

Lao Yan unwrapped the spell and laughed:

"That's right, remember the story I told you? I didn't want to scare you that day, so I dealt with it by myself."

Lu Mingran: "!"

After all, Lao Yan looked at the talisman with some regret:

"He has some skills, this man. But the method is too rough, and it consumes himself too much."

In a word, it is absolutely inferior to his craftsmanship.

Old Yan turned his head and showed a rare big smile to Lu Mingran: "Come on, Xiao Lu, come here."

Lu Mingran stood there not daring to move, looking at him suspiciously.

...I always feel that nothing good will happen.

Lao Yan continued to look at him patiently.

Finally, Lu Mingran walked over slowly.But as soon as he approached Lao Yan, Lao Yan clasped his wrist with one hand very rudely, then drew a talisman with the other hand, and tapped lightly on his forehead.

In other words, Lao Yan's method is really much easier to use than Xu Lingqiu's, Lu Mingran immediately felt his body relax a lot.

However, before Lu Mingran could praise anything, Lao Yan suddenly coughed a few times.

The cough was not loud, but Lao Yan looked extremely painful, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.Lu Mingran was frightened and turned around to pour water for him.

"No, no water..." Lao Yan stopped him, his voice suddenly weakened, "Xiao Lu, there is a box in my bag, take it out, and sprinkle the contents on my back."

Lu Mingran did as he was told.There was indeed a small crimson box in the bag, which at first glance looked like a woman's rouge, but it actually contained a white powder.

And when Lu Mingran saw Lao Yan's back, he gasped.

There are many small black and purple handprints on it, floating on his pale skin layer by layer.Lu Mingran's scalp felt numb, so he quickly sprinkled the powder on it.

Lu Mingran felt as if he heard the cry of a child, and those things on his back finally disappeared.

In front of him, Lao Yan hadn't slowed down yet, he lowered his head and gasped for breath.

"I'm so sorry to scare you."

Lu Mingran knew what it was.

Lao Yan also traveled all over the world before he became a director. He also has a master, who is an old Taoist.

The master is good at everything, but the fault is that before his death, the old man got the ancient corpses of two boys and girls from nowhere, and put them in the grave he prepared for himself in advance, as if for some benefit.

When Lao Yan found out about this, not only the master's body had been eaten by these two vicious little ghosts, but his soul was about to be swallowed too.

He was raised by his master alone, and he hated his master for doing such a thing, but he couldn't ignore it.In the end, although the evil spirits were eliminated, their grievances were engraved on Lao Yan's back, tormenting him forever.

Lao Yan said that this was helping Master repay the debt.

Now, Lao Yan is better and started chatting with Lu Mingran.

"Little Lu, do you think it was difficult for me to listen to others when I talked to others that day?"

"There is no way. It is impossible to be more fierce. Let me tell you something. Two years ago, something happened in a mountain village. It was not a man-made disaster, but a haunting."

That matter was supposed to be taken care of by them, but it was delayed for too long. By the time Lao Yan arrived, the thing had already harmed many people, including several college students who came to do charity.

It turned out that the trip to the mountains, which was a nightmare for Xu Lingqiu, had already been recorded in a thin file with only a few words.

Old Yan sighed and said, "I wish I had arrived earlier."

He is sorry.

Regret like Xu Lingqiu.

Lu Mingran heard Lao Yan say again:

"I can't do it for long, I have to rest. I have asked many people to see these handprints on my back, and they all said that it is not easy for me to last until now."

So... So Lao Yan wanted to find a successor, and Xu Lingqiu was the best candidate.

But Lu Mingran absolutely cannot let him find Xu Lingqiu.

Lu Mingran's mood suddenly became complicated, he knew how much Lao Yan valued this job, and how much he wanted to find a suitable person.

Cough, Lao Yan coughed again.

Lu Mingran nervously grabbed the box and wanted to scatter it, but at this moment, Lao Yan waved his hand and said with a smile:

"It's all right, it's because I smoke too much. Oh, old."

"old?"

Lu Mingran asked him back: "Are you a celebrity or an e-sports player? Why are you called old at only 28 years old?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Mingran patted Lao Yan firmly on the back, encouraging him:

"Don't be so discouraged, you will live a long time!"

Strive to live longer than the bastard.

Pa, it was really hard and loud.

……

The air froze instantly.

Lu Mingran: "..."

Boss, just think I'm giving you a massage.

------------

Fortunately, Lu Mingran slept on another bed in the room, and lived the whole night with all his beard and tail.

At night, he was a little worried that those handprints would appear on the backs of the people next door, so he fell asleep worrying about it.

Lao Yan didn't sleep, he was thinking about something related to Xu Lingqiu, and remembered that he had a relationship with this person.

Early the next morning, Lu Mingran opened his eyes and was reminded by the system.

Today, Lao Yan is going to surround a building in the suburbs.

It is said in the novel that Xu Lingqiu went to visit one of his clients in a nursing home, but was stopped as soon as he arrived at the intersection.

It seemed that the road was closed, and those people still looked nervous, not letting anyone in.

Xu Lingqiu stood aside and watched, and not long after, he saw a man with white hair.

This man he had seen before.Now the white-haired man is standing at the gate of the nursing home with his hands behind his back, and the people next to him are asking him something respectfully.

Alas, with such a great momentum, it is because I am afraid that others will not know that you have a special status.

So when Lao Yan woke up, taking advantage of the fact that he hadn't arranged for the deployment, Lu Mingran reminded him instead of Lao Hu, saying that the more mysterious you make things, the more people want to see them, it's better for us to keep a low profile .

"First of all," Lu Mingran stared at his brand-name clothes, "We need to dress more ordinary."

After thinking about it, Lao Yan thought it made sense, and carefully searched for clothes in the suitcase.

At this time, the system was very interested in making a quotation for Lu Mingran, telling him how much Lao Yan's outfit was worth.

"See that watch, one hundred thousand."

"Oh, this dress, thirty thousand..."

Lu Mingran couldn't listen anymore.

Boss, what you are using is the script of the domineering president!

Why both Lao Yan and Xiao Xu are so rich, only he is the poorest!

"Well, Director Yan, do you really have no other clothes?" Lu Mingran looked at the clothes on the bed with a headache.

Old Yan nodded honestly.

Lu Mingran felt that this nodding motion deeply hurt him.

"...Forget it, let me make a little sacrifice."

-------------------

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Yan took Lu Mingran out low-key.

He put on the simple coat and jeans that Lu Mingran had replaced, and also put on a hat to cover his dazzling white hair. He looked younger and more energetic all of a sudden.

But Lu Mingran was very different, he was wearing Lao Yan's crisp clothes, and his walking posture was full of domineering aura.

On the road, Lao Yan sat aside and closed his eyes, his upturned side face has clear lines and looks very good-looking.As for Lu Mingran, he sat upright and stared straight ahead - if he inadvertently rubbed his clothes, he would not be able to pay for it.

The car slowly stopped near the nursing home in the suburbs, and the person in charge of the reception was waiting with an umbrella on his face.

Because there was no quarantine today like in the novel, there was only one staff member who received them throughout the process, and Lu Mingran, as Lao Yan's temporary assistant, followed them throughout the process.

What made Lu Mingran feel suffocated was that they had just entered the lobby on the first floor when they saw Xu Lingqiu's figure.Xu Lingqiu was sitting on a row of chairs, chatting with the family members of the old man who had the accident. Soon, the family members left, and Xu Lingqiu sat there alone.

What made Lu Mingran feel even more suffocated was that when he saw Xu Lingqiu, Lao Yan took the initiative to walk over and called him:

"meet again."

After all, it was only met once, Xu Lingqiu couldn't recognize this person, so Lao Yan took off his hat to reveal his white hair.

The system told Lu Mingran that Lao Yan was going to hook him next.

The so-called hook refers to the fact that Lao Yan said some ambiguous words.In order to make the male protagonist interested in him, many mysterious characters always leave riddles or suspenseful words for the protagonist to guess and think about, things that can be clearly explained in one sentence, but he just doesn't explain it clearly, and speaks half a sentence.

In this way, the protagonist thinks about the mysterious him day and night, pursues him relentlessly, and is successfully abducted by him.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingran couldn't help clenching his fists secretly, and followed.

Sure enough, Lao Yan started to hook:

"Although we don't meet many times, we have a little relationship."

Xu Lingqiu stared into Lao Yan's eyes, wondering if he was lying.

Lao Yan continued to work hard on the hook:

"Back in 2017, you learned some crafts from that voodoo mother-in-law in City Z, didn't you?"

This is the same as a fortune teller, who knows whether you can tell the future accurately, and people will only pay attention to the past when the past is right.

Judging from Xu Lingqiu's suddenly serious expression and the way he tried to remember, Lao Yan's hook succeeded. Xu Lingqiu was trying to guess what relationship this person had with him, and why he was so powerful and knew about him.

Lao Yan was very satisfied with Xu Lingqiu's performance, and he planned to leave after saying this, leaving Xu Lingqiu alone for three days and three nights.

But Lu Mingran couldn't stand it anymore, and interjected in time:

"That mother-in-law is a member of an association under him, and she usually reports to him when she buys a steamed bun."

Snapped.The first hook was thus snapped.Lu Mingran and Lao Yan blinked, meaning that Lao Hu told me this.

At this moment, Xu Lingqiu regained his composure.

The veins on Lao Yan's forehead twitched.He took a breath, calmed down, and continued:

"By the way, when you were young, there was a monk who told you that you were in trouble, so he coaxed your father to cook an old hen and eat it."

Xu Lingqiu frowned.

Lu Mingran: "Director Yan caught this monk when he cracked down on counterfeiting one year, and the monk made it very clear."

Xu Lingqiu let out a breath.

Old Yan: "I know that person gave you a very important thing before he died."

Xu Lingqiu's pupils shrank.

Lu Mingran: "Because he is a distant relative of that person. After that person's death, the family was in darkness to distribute the inheritance. He went to the theater. Everyone knew that Mr. Song gave you the house."

Xu Lingqiu's pupils returned to their original state.

……

Finally, Xu Lingqiu and Lao Yan looked at Lu Mingran together.

Lu Mingran smiled and said:

"Is there anything else you want to talk about?"

------------

In the evening, the sky is full of colorful clouds.

After Xu Lingqiu dealt with the matter, as soon as he walked out the door, he saw a man and a dog sitting on the steps together, barking and barking in competition with each other.

The sitting person noticed someone behind him, turned his head, and smiled at him.

Xu Lingqiu also laughed: "Aren't you his assistant? What are you doing sitting here?"

"Because I was fired."

Lu Mingran replied honestly:

"Death by talking too much."
