34. Lu Li, the water ghost, and the hidden third party
"What does it mean to die?"
Perhaps he had not yet escaped from the chaos when he woke up, Lu Li asked.
Yang Chunxue replied intact: "It means that he is dead."
With his palms on the warm kang, Lu Li sat up and frowned and said, "Your answer is too abstract, more specific."
Yang Chunxue didn't expect him to get up until he hit his head in his chest. She covered her chest and floated backwards, slightly embarrassed and annoyed: "Go and see it yourself!"
Although Lu Li and Yang Chunxue had no substantial contact.
She didn't need to say that Lu Li was already doing it.
Chen Qian, who was not calling him a dead pig, walked over to the outside house and moved the door bolt.
As the door opened, the cold wind blew in my face. Lu Li exhaled a breath of turbid air and followed Yang Chunxue to the main house quickly.
....
“Hao huh…”
Chen Qian was awakened by the cold.
He woke up and found that the bedroom was empty, and the door of the outer room opened, and the cold wind poured in freely, and woke up instantly.
I hurriedly got off the kang, and didn't even care about wearing my shoes. The soles of the shoes slid against the muddy ground to the front of the main house.
Here he saw Lu Li, Yang Chunxue floating beside him, and three photos that made him shudder and his blood almost frozen.
The old woman's portrait is in the middle, the man is in the left and the woman is in the right, and the three portraits are placed on the incense table.
The family of three is quietly watching the two people and one ghost opposite each other in the black and white photo.
"Hey...? Hey!?" Layers of goose bumps appeared, and Chen Qian looked frightened: "What's going on!"
"It's already obvious." Yang Chunxue spread her hands, her tone with a hint of gloating: "You were received by ghosts for a day yesterday."
"It may not be a ghost." The black eyes looked around and surrounded him, and Lu Li shook his head slightly: "I didn't feel the yin energy."
"Maybe you didn't sense it."
"The Ghost Clan is not that easy to deceive, unless it is the rumored evil ghosts. They may be able to do it-" Lu Li paused, his voice exuding a hint of confusion: "But what is their motive for deceive us? It's just a tease?"
All plans came to an abrupt end with the opening of this morning.
Lu Li Le and Yang Chunxue: "Have you sensed something?"
The latter shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
He temporarily put down his inner doubts, and Lu Li and others temporarily withdrew from the strange main house.
Yang Chunxue did not return to the ghost messenger book. Now she is an extraordinary moment, and she is following Lu Li to protect her.
Lu Li and Shen Qian returned to the cottage to get dressed, knocked from door to door in a dark and gloomy morning, asking about the situation of the Liu family in the village.
"Liu Zhen? He and his wife died two years ago. It seemed that they had eaten poisonous mushrooms and were unsuccessful."
"Let's go, I left the year before yesterday. Supernatural incident? What is that? Oh, haunted, this one doesn't have it, they are very good."
"Oh, it's a pity. Such a good two people are gone. They are also miserable. I heard that my youngest son went to the river to play and drowned a few years ago. It's only been a long time since then they...
"His eldest son came before, but then he stopped. What did he do when he came, and no relative was gone. Are you from the city? What did you do when you ask?"
After a few turns away, I finally got the answers from the next few. After asking around, Lu Li and the others returned to the yard.
Chen Qian leaned on the courtyard gate and stared at the main room in a daze, with his back lonely.
Chen Qian is emotional. He often says that he makes friends with all kinds of characters for acting, and naturally he is devoted to real feelings, rather than acting. He cannot understand why the farmer who was talking and laughing a few hours ago was suddenly told that he died two years ago?
Lu Li also couldn't understand.
After a whole day of contact yesterday, the couple's words and behaviors were exactly the same as normal people, and they had no yin energy. How could such a person die long ago?
What is even more incomprehensible is that they deceived Lu Li and Gui Mai’s judgment at the same time.
Unwilling to give in, Lu Li returned to the main house and frowned and thought.
Chen Qian, dejected, said tiredly: "The clue is gone again...Boss, can we continue to investigate?"
Lu Li remained silent, and his black eyes swept across the living room of the main house little by little.
The stool is placed in the corner, the stove is clean and there are no leftovers.
"call……"
Lu Li exhaled and breathed, but there was no smell of food, but his stomach felt muffled and his sense of hunger surged.
It's like being hungry for a day and not having a meal.
Looking back at the yard, the chicken cage was closed, and it was empty inside, with a few lines of footprints left on the muddy yard floor.
A heavy rain destroyed all traces of the yard.
"The clues are not broken yet, there is still a chance."
Unexpected words sounded from Lu Li's mouth.
Two gazes looked at the same time.
"Suppose there is another 'hand' besides us."
Lu Li picked up the bench from the corner and sat down in front of the threshold like yesterday.
He calmly explained: "This 'hand' may be the couple, a water ghost, or any force. In short, the 'hand' represents the culprit of everything yesterday. Let's take the perspective of 'hand' and try to understand its intention to do so?"
Chen Qian and Yang Chunxue looked confused, and they were still understanding what Lu Li said.
Lu Li reminded him: "For example, the 'hand' may be warning us, warning us not to destroy its life."
With the metaphor, one person and one ghost finally understood. Yang Chunxue said thoughtfully: "I probably understand what you mean...but I can't think of the intention of 'hand'."
So they are not detectives.
"Then I'll come first." Lu Li didn't care, looked at the gloomy sky and said, "I thought of a very interesting guess."
"The 'hand' does this to stop us from investigating the water ghost, or investigating the door where the 'water ghost is hiding. But it cannot harm us for some reason, so it uses hallucinations or something to hold us all day in the foothills of the mountain village. You may wonder why the 'hand' should hold us all day."
Lu Li paused slightly, looked around and said, "Because of this rain. As long as a rainfall is heavy enough, the water level of the underground passage will rise and cannot enter. Don't forget - that door is in the underground passage."
Yang Chunxue took a breath and was shocked by this reasoning: "The logic is self-consistent... but it's too absurd, right?"
"But it's very interesting, right?"
"I have more interesting guesses!" Yang Chunxue raised her neck and felt angry: "For example, what happens now is all our hallucinations, and I'm not dead, you are not a ghost. To be more exaggerated, our world is a hallucination of movies, songs, games, books, or even who is the hallucination of—"
At this moment, Lu Li's expression suddenly became dazed, and his black eyes gradually became like an abyss.
Seeing Lu Li's appearance, Yang Chunxue burst out laughing: "I'm talking about it, don't really think about it."
Lu Li, who seemed to have just been stunned, came back to his senses and turned his head to Chen Qian and said, "I know what to do next. Check Liu Zhen's high school and we'll go there next."
"Let me Kang Kang..." Chen Qian took out his phone and searched, and after a moment he raised an eyebrow: "Boss, I have an unexpected gain."
