Volume 2: A Hundred Ghosts, Chapter 47: The Weird Uncle Li(1/2)
Uncle Li, whose real name is Li Guoshu, is a native of Honghe City. Although he is over seventy this year, he looks like he is in his fifties or sixties, and his body is still strong.
He came here when the nursing home was first built, and was only responsible for locking and opening the doors of the entire nursing home. Occasionally, he would stay in the small pavilion next to the entrance of the community and read the newspaper. He usually didn't see anyone else.
All in all, he is also the second elder here. I don't know who is bigger between him and Liu Gensheng.
He has an eccentric personality and is withdrawn. He has not been able to get along with everyone for a long time. Regarding his origins, even the chatty Wang Po did not know the reason. Moreover, everyone said that he has a bad temper and the way he looks at people.
He has a fierce, thin face, but when he looks at others, according to Sister Fang, he looks at them with murderous intent.
Gu Chuan noticed him just a few days after he came here. He wanted to chat with him many times, but when he walked towards Uncle Li, even when he said hello, he ignored him or even just said "hmm"
To perfunctory myself.
He had always known that Uncle Li was responsible for locking the door at night. During this time, the person on duty would have checked the room and almost left. Gu Chuan had always thought that Uncle Li would only come here when the door was locked. He never expected that he would be here at this time.
Meet him!
"What should I do? Now there is another ordinary person who has no power to restrain a chicken." Gu Chuan pulled Su Qin and whispered, and saw Uncle Li raising the flashlight in his hand to shine on him, with a serious look on his face.
"What happened to you?"
Gu Chuan followed the light and looked at his clothes. There were large black stains on them. Although the candy could help him see things in the dark, he couldn't see clearly what was stained on his clothes.
Only when Uncle Li said this did he pay attention.
Seeing Uncle Li take out his mobile phone, as if he was going to call the police, Su Qin quickly stopped him: "Uncle! No, we are not here to steal anything. It's just that we were on duty downstairs just now and heard a sound from upstairs, so we came up to take a look."
Uncle Li showed a doubtful expression and used his flashlight to shine on a pile of ashes next to the brazier.
"I just accidentally knocked over the brazier."
Then, he glanced at the time on his phone and frowned.
"It's so late now, why are you still here? Let's go, I'll take you down first!"
After saying that, he put the flashlight on the ground and planned to pack up and leave.
Seeing this, Gu Chuan quickly grabbed him.
Are you kidding? If you go down now, what if the evil ghost is still on the second floor? You will die if you go down there!
Originally, if the evil spirits didn't come to the third floor, it would be Amitabha. He didn't want to take the risk. If necessary, Gu Chuan planned to stay here all night, even if he slept on the corridor.
However, Su Qin suddenly pulled him and pointed at the place illuminated by Uncle Li's flashlight. Only then did Gu Chuan realize that this floor was different from the other two floors.
All the rooms on the third floor were sealed tightly with red bricks, not even a fly could fly in. This was too strange, so he cast his doubtful eyes on Uncle Li.
"Uncle Li! Who are you burning paper for so late?"
Uncle Li's expression froze, but he quickly returned to normal and sneered.
"Of course it's a dead person! Why ask so many questions!"
But there was a gloomy look on his face.
He looked towards the still-burning brazier. The orange firelight illuminated his face, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Su Qin poked his elbow with his hand and signaled him, "Don't talk, I'll do it."
After saying that, she took away the piece of rotten wood that Gu Chuan had been holding in her hand and stepped forward.
Su Qin slowly walked towards the brazier, and under Uncle Li's puzzled gaze, she threw the piece of rotten wood into it.
There was a bang, the flames rose and burned extremely fiercely.
Uncle Li was startled, took a few steps back, and faced Su Qin coldly: "Girl, what are you doing?"
Gu Chuan was also confused by her move. This stone tablet should be a very rare thing, but she burned it so casually. However, looking at the solemn expression on her face.
She must have her reasons for doing this!
As the fire slowly disappeared, Su Qin stood up with a smile.
"Uncle Li, don't you understand this? A living person burning something for a ghost may attract ghosts."
Su Qin coughed a few times, then carefully reached out to the edge of the brazier and got a little ash on his fingers.
It's windy and cold at night, and the yin is even worse. If you burn paper here, I'm afraid it will attract some unclean things. The stele wood attracts yin, and the burning ash will be like a rhinoceros. Do you want to apply it on your eyelids?
"Girl, are you kidding me?"
Li Guoshu's voice became deeper, and his face was covered in bruises and whites, which looked very ugly.
Go, what is she talking about?
Gu Chuan quickly stepped forward and pulled her outstretched hand back, "Uncle Li! Don't be angry, she is joking with you! Liven up the atmosphere, haha!"
You pretend to be funny, but you should laugh too! Gu Chuan glared at Su Qin and pinched her waist.
Hiss~ Are you looking for death? Su Qin's face froze, and he turned around and glared at Gu Chuan unwilling to be outdone.
Uncle Li waved his hand and his expression softened a lot.
"I don't like other people making this joke with me. I will tell Xiong Jiancheng what happens tonight and you can handle it yourself!"
Oh, yes, I just heard a sound on the second floor on the third floor. It turned out to be you! It’s getting late. If you’re looking for ghosts, I’d better ask you to change places. This is not a place for Internet celebrities to check in. This is a nursing home. It needs to be quiet!
"
When he finished speaking, Gu Chuan couldn't help but smile awkwardly, thinking that the two of them were on an adventure to find ghosts.
Seeing that Su Qin wanted to say something else, he quickly covered her mouth and said, "Miss, please stop saying a few words!".
Su Qin snorted and shook his hand away, "Bah, I didn't say anything yet!"
Gu Chuan rolled his eyes once, "Okay, you didn't say anything! What should we do next?"
I saw Uncle Li bend down and lift the brazier.
He turned back to the two of them and said, "Let's go, I'm going to lock the door!" He planned to go downstairs.
But there isn’t that one downstairs...
"Let's go down with him and take a look!"
She wanted to see if there was anything weird about this person.
The three of them went down to the second floor.
Gu Chuan was very nervous. Fortunately, Su Qin never took his eyes away from Uncle Li.
The corridor on the second floor was quiet, there was nothing, everything seemed extremely quiet.
The evil ghost has disappeared.
Uncle Li turned to the stairs and glanced at the quicklime on the ground. Gu Chuan noticed that he seemed to have something to say, but he still stopped.
In this case, Gu Chuan couldn't help himself and asked him: "Uncle Li! I heard that you often spread lime on the stairs. What do you do?"
He smiled sarcastically, and Uncle Li glanced at him lightly.
"nothing!"
After just a pause, he added: "Didn't you hear that this nursing home is haunted? Quicklime can prevent ghosts, so Xiong Jiancheng asked me to spread some of it as a comfort!"
Oh, really? The corners of Su Qin's mouth curled up, with a meaningful expression.
came outside,
At the iron gate of the nursing home, when they saw Uncle Li locking the door, the two of them watched him leave silently, both in silence.
"What do you think?" Gu Chuan spoke first.
In my opinion, this Uncle Li must be weird! Burning paper money on the third floor for no reason, what else could it be than attracting ghosts? Think about it carefully, who would make their hands like that just for some comfort? Can't you wear gloves?
Why do it to this extent?
Maybe he burned the paper because he knew Cao Guifen was dead? Gu Chuan tentatively explained.
His words made Su Qin silent for a while, and then he saw her shaking her head.
Even so, he must have something to do with Cao Guifen's death. I heard that the police will come tomorrow, so we should not talk too much. After all, Uncle Li said that he would tell that boss Xiong about us.
"What's wrong? Do you still doubt that the two of us can kill someone and hide the body?" Gu Chuan smiled bitterly.
Su Qin ignored this sentence.
She pursed her lips and was thinking about one thing.
Who knocked her unconscious when she was performing the surgery? It seemed that there was no one else except Uncle Li, but that voice was obviously that of a young man. There were other people in this building at that time.
other people?
Are they from the other two religious orders?
"By the way, what are you going to do with the beads in my belly?" Gu Chuan interrupted Su Qin's thinking.
If this thing stays in your body, won't it cause any harm to you?
"It doesn't look like that." Su Qin looked at his lively appearance and felt slightly surprised, but didn't say it out loud.
"It doesn't look like it! Do you know what effect this bead has on me?"
Gu Chuan was a little excited, and then told her about a series of things he had experienced in his dream and the huge eye he saw when he woke up.
