smile to heart

=====================

Walking on the long street, Qi Zhong hesitated for a while, and then discussed with Mu Yun: "Hey, then should we go to the barren mounds outside the city to start investigating now, or do we have another plan?"

"You might as well go to the rich businessman in the south to have a look first, to find out the origin, maybe there is something hidden about this matter."

"Well, that's fine." Qi Din nodded and said proudly, "Thanks to my cleverness, I caught a charlatan for questioning, otherwise you little idiots would still be wandering aimlessly in the street."

Mu Yun made no rebuttal, and silently acquiesced.

Min Zhi couldn't get used to him: "Cut, I just know how to be jealous."

Hearing this at first, Qi finally became unhappy, and retorted: "Hey. I'm telling the truth."

"What's the truth? Are you saying that your friend is an idiot? Hmph."

"Uh... well, I was wrong."

"It's almost..."

"They're not, you're the only one, hahaha."

I thought Qi Zhong was sincerely repentant, but unexpectedly it was sophistry.Min Zhi gritted her teeth, slightly annoyed: "You're looking for a beating!"

"Oh? Can you hit it?"

Qi Zhong was even more provocative, stepped back a few meters triumphantly, and continued to bicker.

"You wait for me!"

The more Min Zhi listened, the angrier she became, she waved her hand, Yuan Qian foolishly stepped forward and gestured sign language to stop her.

"You, don't stop me. Otherwise, I won't be responsible for accidentally hurting you."

Bypassing Yuan Qian, Min Zhi continued to chase and beat Qi Zhong, but saw him dodge cunningly, and then ran to Mu Yun's side, seeking shelter.

"Brother Yun, look at her, she is so fierce, she still wants to beat me, you have to help me!"

After straightening the crooked sleeves, Mu Yun looked at him helplessly, with a pitiful look of pretending to be wronged, and almost believed that he was the real victim.

"Rogue Qi, where are you going?"

Min Zhi shouted an order, panicked Qi Zhong put Mu Yun's shoulders tight again, shook it lightly twice, and whispered: "Hurry up, she won't hit you, cooperate with me."

Mu Yun's heart was moved by his bright eyes, his eyes dimmed, he turned around slightly, protecting Qi Zhong behind him, and turned to face Min Zhi who was rushing over, howling with anger.

"Miss Biao, please don't be impulsive..."

Min Zhi, who was planning to let Qi Zhong off in order to save Mu Yun's face, saw him behind others making faces at himself, Min Zhi glared angrily, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Brother Yun, get out of the way, this is me and His personal vendetta."

Hearing this, Qi Zhong couldn't help laughing out loud: "Pfft ha ha ha... Still have a personal grievance? I said Miss Biao, can you stop for a while, you have been chasing me for several blocks!"

"Fart, Gou Qizhong, who will chase you!" Min Zhi misunderstood the meaning and became angry from embarrassment.

"Oh? You still don't admit it! Then don't come here, how about we each take a step back."

"It's a good idea, Miss Ben must teach you a lesson today!"

"Hey, you're really stingy... Don't you think so? Brother Yun~"

Qi Zhong imitated Min Zhi's tone and tone, and shouted at Mu Yun with a strange voice.

Hearing him imitate himself, Min Zhi stomped her feet angrily: "You!"

Mu Yun panicked for a moment, lowered his eyes, the skin at the base of his ears suddenly turned slightly pink, he was stunned for a moment, and let Min Zhi hurried past him, looking for someone to "seek revenge".

Qi finally didn't expect Mu Yun's defense to be broken, so he ran away in a hurry: "Hey! Mr. Yun, I won't take you to such a trick!"

"Hey, don't pull your ears!"

"Oh hoho...it's unreasonable!"

A few people simply walked in a deserted street, there were few people, and it was not weird for Qi Zhong to yell ghosts all the way.

……

In the afternoon, everyone finally found the so-called rich businessman. The long street was desolate and deserted, and there were many fallen leaves. A big house was located at the end of the street.

"Hey, it's really desolate. It seems that the fortune teller was telling the truth."

After entering the house, it was dilapidated everywhere.Qi Zhong fanned the dust in the air with his hands, and said in disgust.

"You talk a lot, look for it quickly, if there are any clues."

Min Zhi hadn't completely calmed down yet, so she bypassed Qi Zhong and entered the living room first.

"Ah, mouse, ah ah ah."

A few mice sprang out from under the dusty bench, and Min Zhi screamed in fright, and ran back quickly.

Qi Zhong smiled faintly: "Haha, I didn't expect you, a fierce girl, to be afraid of mice?"

Min Zhi glared at him, but did not retort.

"Come and see here."

Qi Zhong walked into a dilapidated ancestral hall in the backyard, pointed at the dusty tablets on the table, and shouted.

"Isn't it just a deserted ancestral hall? Who doesn't have an ancestral hall? What a fuss."

Min Zhi muttered in disdain.

Mu Yun glanced lightly at those memorial tablets, pondering for a moment.

"How is it? Brother Yun, do you think it's strange?"

"Hmm." He nodded and expressed his thoughts: "The ancestral hall should be the most important thing for a prosperous family. The efforts of the ancestors are hard-won. Even if they are down and down, they will not put aside these tablets at will. It is human nature."

Hearing what he said, Qi Zhong felt a little bit in line with his heart: "That's right. And the fortune teller said that this rich businessman is a foreigner. He died a few years ago and was transported back. How can he keep these tablets alone?" Here, let it be dirty and dusty."

"Is that rich businessman alive?"

Min Zhi asked, Qi Zhong shook his head, and said leisurely: "The person must be dead, otherwise such a big house would be abandoned? But how he died is something to consider. Of course, all these speculations are based on the fortune-telling Did not lie to us."

Mu Yun turned his head lightly, gathered his spiritual power with his two fingers, brushed away a cloud of dust, and revealed the name on the tablet.

"What did you find?"

His sudden movement made Qi Zhong feel a little strange.

"No."

"there is nothing?"

Qi Zhong was puzzled, could it be that he was the same as himself after watching for a long time, and didn't see anything?

"There is no tablet for his wife."

Hearing this, Qi Zhong glanced at the identity name on the tablet again, and there was indeed none.

"Before this life, since he loved his wife and was willing to spend a lot of money to build a high-rise building for her to be buried with, why didn't he even leave a small memorial tablet for her in this ancestral hall? It is conceivable that the common people only look at the surface , without knowing the truth.”

After listening to Mu Yun's explanation, Qi Zhong nodded slowly: "Then why did he build tall buildings and mounds? To make a name for his loving wife and affection? That's too fake."

Mu Yun bowed his head and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Yuan Qian outside the door suddenly made a noise, waving gestures and making noise.

Qi Zhong hurried over to read with him, and heard him say: "Yes, there is someone..."

"Huh? Is there someone outside?"

After knowing it, Qi Zhong guessed that someone was pretending to be a ghost outside, and hurried out of the ancestral hall, watching the surroundings vigilantly, and nothing wrong happened.

At this moment, Min Zhi shouted: "Hey, be careful, there is an old man behind you."

The old man was about to beat Qi Zhong with a stick, but suddenly he showed himself and speeded up his movements viciously.Of course Qi Zhong was not afraid of these little tricks, he turned sideways lightly, and deftly dodged out of the way, causing the weird old man to fall to the ground in vain.

Immediately, the old man stood up unwillingly, squinted, and glared at the four of them viciously.

"Hey. I have a grudge against you? Beat someone with such a thick stick."

Qi Zhong, who didn't know the truth, was helpless.

"Get out, get out! You are not allowed to step into this house again! Otherwise, I will beat you to death with all my life."

No explanation, blame the old man for swearing at people.

Mu Yun stepped forward patiently and reasoned gently: "Old man, please calm down first, we didn't mean to intrude, it's just..."

"roll!"

Before anyone could finish speaking, he blamed the old man for his bad temper, and threw a stick at Mu Yun. Seeing this, Qi Zhong was extremely anxious, and quickly pulled him closer to his side.

Then he glared at the stick-throwing person: "Ha. Crazy old man, you are terrible! Explain to you with good words, and you still throw things at people? If you hit him with bad things, I... I will send you there See the officer."

"Whatever you want! Anyway, anyway, I just don't allow you to enter this house again."

The old man was so irritated that he yelled madly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mu Yun compromised and said in a low voice, "Let's go first."

"Hmph, who wants to stay here."

Qi Zhong snorted coldly, turned and left.

Mu Yun bowed his head apologetically to the old man, "Sorry for bothering you."

The strange old man looked at them coldly, then slowly let go of his hostility, and loosened his grip on the stick.

After everyone went out, he limped and closed the peeling-painted door heavily.

"What an unreasonable weirdo."

Min Zhi clasped her hands and complained.

Qi Zhong nodded fiercely: "That's right, that house doesn't belong to him, he just jumped out to chase people out of nowhere."

Mu Yun thought for a while and reminded: "The old man should be the gatekeeper of this house. Although the clothes are old, there is a word "Chen" printed on the back, and it just so happens that the name on the door plaque is also Chen's house."

"Ha, you have observed carefully. But next time, pay more attention to the stick that suddenly flew over your head."

Thinking of the shocking scene just now, Qi Zhong felt a little nimble.

"Yes. Thank you Brother Qi."

"Hey, it's a small matter. Let's go, let's go back to have a midnight snack. After searching all night, we are hungry."

Qi Zhong stepped forward freely, and took the initiative to push the man's shoulders, pushing forward without refusal.

……

In view of the haunting of strange people in the deserted house, Qi finally discussed with everyone not to look for clues from the old house, but to go to the deserted mounds in the suburbs to find the answer.

Seeing the sunset, the sky will be late.Qi Zhong and the others were still wandering in the suburbs, and the guides felt a little stressed for a while.

"Rogue Qi, you are really unreliable, you can lead the wrong way."

Min Zhi crossed his hands and put on the clothes without any politeness.

Qi Zhong smiled wryly: "How did I know that they have so many roads with multiple names. It wasn't that kid pointing in this direction that made me dizzy."

"What? You actually asked a child, I really convinced you, you should choose a more reliable one when you ask the way." Min Zhi curled her lips in disgust.

"What's wrong with the kid? Don't underestimate him. This little shepherd boy likes running around the most. Maybe he can find rare things."

"Come on, the reality is that it's almost dark, and we're still looking for our way in the outskirts of the woods, what else do you have to say?"

"I, I'm too lazy to tell you."

Knowing that he was wrong, Qi Zhong flickered and ran forward.

"Hey, brother Yun, why don't you go?"

Seeing Mu Yun standing in the grass by the side of the road, his eyes downcast, Qi Zhong hurriedly chased after him to find out the details.

Looking closely, there is a gloomy cemetery in the grass, large and small graves are silent in the dark night, and some strange insects are hiding in the grave mounds and whining.

Mu Yun walked further in silently, followed closely by Qi Zhong.

"These graves have all been dug, and the fortune teller also said this before."

He leaned over and saw that the graves were newly dug all around, and Qi Zhong immediately had an impression.

"Could it be made by the ghoul? But it's not right, the ghoul can't absorb so much yin energy at once. Could there be some other monster at work?"

"It's not a monster, it's made by people."

Mu Yun, who pondered for a moment, finally gave an answer.

"So sure?"

"Because there are traces of a shovel turning over these graves, and a new road behind you, there are also some footprints, so it should be man-made."

"Who? Even if it's a grave robber, it's impossible to even dig up these worthless other people's ancestral graves. There are no sky-high burial objects."

Although Qi Zhong understood the details, he did not understand the motives of the gravediggers.

Mu Yun took a closer look at the graves again. The traces of chaos showed the viciousness and panic of those who dug the graves.

"Maybe it's not for money, but for self-protection."

"Oh. Could it be that there are still people pointing at them with knives to do these immoral things?"

Qi finally smiled noncommittally.

"Hey, crazy girl, do you know anyone who likes to dig people's graves?"

Back on the side of the road, Qi Zhong asked Min Zhi one more question.

She thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No. Even if there was, they would probably be scolded to death. How can they dig up the cemetery so rampantly?"

"Oh, yes."

Just as he was thinking, Mu Yun suddenly reminded: "Bypassing the cemetery, you should be not far from the high-rise mound. Don't take it lightly, and pay attention to safety."

"How do you know?" Qi Zhong himself almost couldn't remember the route, so he hurriedly asked.

"That shepherd boy you asked just now said."

"Oh..." Qi Zhong choked for a moment, and then stopped asking.

The night wind was desolate, beating the forest and beating the leaves, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling.

Everyone stood outside the gate of the tall building and looked at it carefully.

"There seems to be nothing strange about this building." Qi Zhong curled his lips.

"Hmph, I said that the blind fortune-teller didn't know much, right? This is also called luxury? Isn't it higher and wider than those small houses of ordinary people?"

Min Zhi also echoed.

"You can't say that, after all, he is just a wealthy businessman, not your royal relatives."

"And it's not for living people. There's only a graveyard inside. A dead person can occupy such a large building. There's enough space."

Min Zhi glanced at Qi Zhong, thought it was reasonable, nodded and said: "That's true, it seems that the rich businessman should really love his wife deeply."

As soon as the words fell, a gust of cold wind blew on the face, carrying a trace of cold and evil air, which made the two of them shiver.
