One thing has to be admitted, that is, Boss Chen's house is indeed very large, and the internal structure presents a U-shape, giving Xia Qi a feeling of entering a courtyard.

But emotion and emotion, what really attracted his attention was the coffin placed in the center of the courtyard, and the rain fell on it and kept making a "popping" sound.

"Someone in the family died?"

Leng Yue obviously saw the coffin as well, but he didn't say it explicitly, but tentatively asked Boss Chen.

"I didn't ...... No...... Yes There are indeed people in the family who are no longer there. ”

Boss Chen's answer to this question seems to be a little hesitant. They feel that they don't want to admit it, but they have to admit it.

After hearing this, Xia Qi's eyes rolled and he probably guessed Boss Chen's concern, and then listened to him say seemingly casually:

"We respect the local customs, but when someone dies in the local area, do they all put the coffin in the open air?"

"Recently, the weather has been abnormal, it rains every day, and there is no place to put it at home, so I can only put it outside. We have a saying here that the deceased must rest at home for 7 days before they can be buried in the earth. ”

Boss Chen was very worried at this time, if it wasn't too late, he wouldn't insist on letting Xia Qi and Leng Yue live in, after all, he still had a coffin in his house, not to mention that the dead still killed themselves.

Of course, what he is most afraid of being turned out is actually the fact that Xiaoli was bought by him from human traffickers with money.

Fortunately, Xia Qi and Leng Yue didn't ask anything more after that, and they didn't seem to be interested in his family's affairs.

"Three or four years ago, we said that we would have electricity, but it never worked, so at present, the village still relies on oil lamps and candles, and few houses have flashlights."

Boss Chen explained as he lit a candle and fixed it on the table in the living room, although it was not very bright, but it did not make the room dark again.

"The quilts and pillows are all in the cabinet, and it has been raining recently and I haven't taken them out to dry, so it will be a little damp."

Because of the "identity" of Leng Yue and Xia Qi, Boss Chen seems to be very concerned.

"It's good here, we're not that pretentious."

After speaking, Leng Yue deliberately glanced at the honor table in his hand, and then said euphemistically:

"It's not too early, you can go back and rest, we were embarrassed to disturb so late, if there is something to talk about tomorrow, we are a little tired all the way."

Although Leng Yue said it tactfully, how could Boss Chen not hear what he meant, so he nodded knowingly:

"Okay, you guys rest early, I'll go back to sleep too, we'll talk about it tomorrow if there's anything......"

After reminding them of the location of the toilet, Mr. Chen went back to the house where he was.

The rain was still pouring down.

Closing the door of the house, Xia Qi's face sank instantly, and it was even more gloomy and cold under the reflection of the candlelight, and said to Leng Yue, who was sitting at the table:

"Give me a reasonable explanation!"

After saying it coldly, Xia Qi also sat on the chair.

Although his tone was very heavy, Leng Yue didn't bother with him, but explained in a calm tone:

"It's a lost ghost, so when we see it, we must help it fulfill its wish, or it will take revenge on us."

"Lost ghosts? You make it clear. ”

Seeing that Xia Qi didn't understand very well, Leng Yue touched her forehead, and explained again:

"To put it bluntly, the ghost can't find its way home for some reason, so it wants us to help it, and if we choose to refuse, it will take out its anger on us and kill us.

You shouldn't be a stranger to the first seven soul nights, right? It means that on the seventh day after death, people will come back to see important people for the last time. Although the ghost also returns on the seventh day after death, it does not come to see those who are important to it, but to take revenge on those it has grudges.

To put it more clearly, it's coming back to kill! ”

Speaking of this, Leng Yue couldn't help but glance up at Xia Qi, who was looking abrupt, and saw that he had already understood the reason, so he continued:

"I didn't know how sure I could get rid of it, so I didn't do anything to it just now. I hope you understand. ”

Hearing Leng Yue's explanation, Xia Qi was somewhat relieved in his heart, but he still replied with a cold face:

"No matter how well you explain, you can't make up for the fact that I went to carry the ghost, and I will break out in a cold sweat when I think about it now!

But I'm not that stingy either, so if I don't make an example, that's how it passes. ”

Xia Qi naturally knew why Leng Yue didn't tell him in advance that the woman was a ghost, because in that case he would definitely not be able to carry it on his back, but no matter what, it was he who carried the ghost and was not Leng Yue, so he had to remember that Leng Slut.

After resolving the internal conflicts that might arise, the two discussed the next matters together.

Although Xia Qi doesn't know much about ghosts, he has a certain talent in making plans and doing small analysis.

According to his guess, the female ghost is the relative of Boss Chen's death, so as long as you investigate along this point, it is not difficult to find out the cause of the woman's death, as well as the dispute with Boss Chen's family, and even the entire Hulu Village.

As the first suspect in this incident, it is undoubtedly difficult for Boss Chen to ask the truth from his mouth from the beginning, so he should start with other villagers, and then use evidence to force Boss Chen to ask the truth.

After all, only by figuring out the ins and outs of this incident, the causes and consequences, can it be possible to find a way to stop the female ghost and find a way to solve the incident.

Of course, this is only one of the solutions, which can be regarded as "cultural fighting". As for the second solution, that is "martial arts", see if the cold slut can single-handedly take on the ghost and kill the female ghost directly.

It's just that he didn't have much expectations, because Leng Yue had also said before that he wasn't very sure, otherwise he would have already done it to the female ghost when he met her at the edge of the village.

So Leng Yue can only be a bodyguard at best, and he can't be a thug.

After listening to Xia Qi's analysis, Leng Yue then also gave affirmation:

"If we can find a way to resolve its grievances, there is still a way to get rid of it easily, but if we can't find a way to resolve it, we can only fight hard, but it will be difficult."

There is no word "difficult" in the dictionary of geniuses. As long as you do my best and protect me properly, I will definitely be able to find a way to resolve its grievances. ”

Xia Qi's promise is full of confidence, not that he is really sure, but that he must believe that he is sure.

After deciding the direction of solving the incident, Xia Qi didn't even take off his shoes, so he fell asleep on the bed and fell asleep.

The candle flame that had been faintly flickering was blown out at some point, and the room was pitch black, and only the sound of the rain kept ringing in my ears.

"Hey...... Wake up......"

"Wake up......"

Zhengxiang, who was sleeping in the summer, felt that his body was being pushed and shaken, and his ears were full of the cheap voice of the cold moon.

Opening his eyes, Xia Qi asked a little confused:

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you don't dare go out to pee. ”

"No, it's the coffin that's moving."

Hearing this, Xia Qi was like cold water poured on his body, and he sat up energetically in an instant.
