I sent Bai Mengting back to Xiangmanlou, then took a taxi and went back to Yiba Pavilion.
"How's the situation?" As soon as I walked in, that guy Yi Ba walked down the stairs with a smile.
“Hey!” I let out a long sigh and said, “Women’s affairs are difficult to deal with.”
“From what you say, Master Bai doesn’t agree?” Yi Eight asked me.
"Have you guessed that she would not agree?" I asked.
"Yes!" Yi Ba nodded and said, "I heard from my uncle that those two women have an old grudge. How could the noble Master Bai bow to his old enemy just for the sake of a fragrant building?"
"Then tell me, will She Huapo still go to trouble Xiangmanlou?" I am more worried about this question.
“If Xiangmanlou is not owned by the Bai family, she will definitely not do it. But the problem is that Xiangmanlou belongs to the Bai family. Based on the relationship between Master Bai and the Bai family, if She Hua Po doesn’t Go find trouble for Xiang Manlou, do you think she is worthy of Master Bai?" Yi Ba seemed to be a bit gloating about his misfortune!
"Listening to your tone, it seems that She Huapo went to find trouble for Xiangmanlou. Are you very happy?" I asked.
“I can’t say I’m happy, I just thought that it would be a good thing for someone to suppress Master Bai’s arrogance. Anyway, the two old guys have known each other for so many years, and they both know each other’s confidence. , Even when fighting, he still knows how to measure." Yi Ba said with a smile on his face.
I looked at Yi Ba and asked: "If Xiangmanlou is haunted again, do we still care?"
"One generation doesn't care about the second generation. Even if She Huapo releases ghosts in Xiangmanlou, she still has nothing to do with it." It won't kill you. Besides, she is targeting Mr. Bai, why are we trying to get together?"
"What if Bai Mengting comes to see us?" I asked.
"Bai Mengting won't look for me. Even if she does, she will only look for you, brother in the first year of junior high school." This guy Yi Ba is really a brother!
Early the next morning, Yi Ba said that he had to go back to Yundeng Mountain and would not be back for a few days. I asked Yi Ba if there was something wrong, but he didn't say anything.
In the evening, as soon as I finished my dinner, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the store. The person who came in was a woman who had come to me for divination before. Her name was Cao Xiaoli.
"Are you going to do a word test or a divination?" I asked with a smile.
"Last time, I asked you to predict the divination. If I do it again, it would be meaningless." Cao Xiaoli smiled and said: "So this time, I would like to ask you to help me test a word. "
I pointed to the rice paper and brush on the table and said, "Please."
Cao Xiaoli picked up the brush and wrote "small" on the rice paper without thinking. Character.
The word "small" refers to Cao Xiaoli's smallness, and also to the villain's smallness. The pen is as sharp as a needle, and this person has a poisonous heart. The last time I came here, Cao Xiaoli didn't ask me to do a word test, but just made a divination. At that time, I took a rough look at her face and found that she was not the kind of woman with a viper's heart. Judging from the way she wrote the word "小", it was not formed over many years, but was definitely a temporary idea.
“The desire to kill cannot be reborn.” I looked at Cao Xiaoli seriously and said, “Marrying someone, even if you marry the wrong person, you can still use divorce to save it. Killing someone is a serious matter. It's different. Once you kill me, you can't escape the punishment of the law."
"I only wrote a 'small' word and didn't say anything, so you showed me my murderous intentions. Come out?" Cao Xiaoli looked at me with incredible eyes and asked.
"If you dare to open a shop to test calligraphy, you must have some real skills!" I paused and asked with a smile: "The person you want to harm is your current husband, right?"
"What do you want to say?" Cao Xiaoli looked me over with alert eyes.
"People die for money and birds die for food. Even if this is understandable, you have to think clearly first. After killing your husband, will you get his inheritance? I'm afraid you won't get any money by then. Instead, I put my own in." I said.
"When I was in my prime, I married such a bad old man and was ruined every day by someone who had age spots all over my body and half of my body had already been buried in the coffin lid. Shouldn't I be compensated a little bit?" Cao Xiaoli said. He said with a resentful face.
"I made it clear to you the last time you came to me for fortune telling. If you have to make such a choice, who can you blame?" I replied coldly.
"He was quite generous before getting married. I thought I could get some benefits from him after getting married, but I didn't expect that old man to be more concerned about money than life." Cao Xiaoli's eyes were full of both. Angry and aggrieved.
"You will not live if you do it yourself." Although I know that it is a bit too hurtful to say such words to Cao Xiaoli at this time, but now she can't wake up without hitting her with a heavy hammer.
"I beg you, master, to give me a clear path. What should I do next?" Cao Xiaoli looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Go your own way. The only thing I can tell you is that you must remain committed to murder." I said.
I am just a word tester, I can only mind my own business. What kind of decision Cao Xiaoli wants to make is her own business and I have no control over it.
“Thank you!”
Seeing that I didn’t get the answer I wanted, Cao Xiaoli left me a red envelope, thanked me, and then left.
What choice will this Cao Xiaoli make? To be honest, I didn't really see it through.
I opened the red envelope and counted it, and found that it contained another eight hundred yuan. The last time Cao Xiaoli came to me for divination, the red envelope she gave me was eight hundred. This time she gave me another eight hundred for the word test.
To be honest, eight hundred yuan is a very small amount for a fortune teller of my level to give people fortune telling and fortune telling. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to read it like Cao Xiaoli. . But I am different. When Master was still alive, he warned me that money is something external to the body, and it is fate that matters when you look at it. You should not ruin your fate because of your greed for money.
The phone rang. It was Bai Mengting calling me. There must be something wrong with calling me so late!
"What's going on?" I quickly pressed the answer button and asked.
"Come to Xiangmanlou, it's haunted again." Bai Mengting's tone was trembling, and I could tell that she was very scared at this time.
That guy Yi Ba is not here, so I feel a little guilty about dealing with ghosts. I went to Yi Ba's green cloth pocket to find a few talismans that he had told me how to use, picked up the ghost-killing stick, drove the broken bread and ran towards Xiangmanlou.
“You’re here.”
As soon as I stopped the broken bread, Bai Mengting trotted over and threw herself into my arms.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"It scared me to death." Bai Mengting said with lingering fear.
“Let’s go in and take a look first!” I said.
"Where is Yi Ba?" After calming down a little, Bai Mengting looked at the broken bread. Since she didn't see Yi Ba, she asked me.
"He went back to Yundeng Mountain. I don't know when he will come back." I said.
"What should I do?" Bai Mengting knows me very well. She knows that I am not good at catching ghosts.
"Let me go in and take a look first! Although Yi Ba is not here, I still brought some of the talismans he drew. In addition, I also have a ghost-killing stick in my hand. An ordinary kid should be able to handle it."
When I said these words, I still felt a little guilty in my heart. When Yi Ba is here, I can't stand it anymore, so I can call him for help! Now that Yi Ba is not here, I can only rely on myself, and I don’t know if I can be relied on?
I entered Xiangmanlou with the ghost-killing stick, and Bai Mengting followed me.
"Don't come in, just wait outside!" I said.
“No!” Bai Mengting shook her head firmly and said, “I want to go in with you.”
"I know how to read faces and read words, but I really don't know how to deal with the kid. If you go in with me, if you encounter any danger later, I can't protect you!" I said.
"Who wants your protection?" Bai Mengting gave me a look and said, "It's because I know you can't do it, so I have to go in with you."
"Why? ?" I was confused by Bai Mengting's words.
“I won’t tell you.” Bai Mengting looked like she was joking. Could it be that there was really something she could do?
"Okay! I can't stop you anyway, just do whatever you want!" I said.
The lights in Xiangmanlou should be very bright, but the lights tonight seemed to have unstable voltage. Each one was so dim and flickering.
"Didn't you turn on the heating? Why is it so cold?" I asked Bai Mengting.
“It’s already haunted, so what’s the use of heating?” Bai Mengting said.
"If we bump into that ghost later, should we kill him directly or persuade him to leave?" I asked.
“You think you are Yi Ba and you still have a choice?” Although what Bai Mengting said was true, it made me feel a little embarrassed.
Ta...ta...ta...
There was a sound coming from the front, which sounded a lot like footsteps.
Bai Mengting told me when we got off the bus just now that because of the haunting, all the staff at Xiangmanlou were on vacation, and there was no one in the store at all.
"Who is it?" I shouted at the top of my lungs, but I didn't get any response.
Ta...ta...ta...
The footsteps were still there, but this time I heard them clearly. They came from the corner in front of the corridor.
"That thing is over there, let me go over and have a look."
While saying this, I took the ghost-killing stick and walked towards the corner.
There was a light at the corner, but it was turned off for some reason, so it looked a bit dark. It's pitch black and you can't see anything. Even if you go in with a ghost-killing stick, it's still very risky!
Yi Ba once taught me a trick: when facing unknown dangers and needing lighting, it is best to use paper money. Because ghosts, like people, are greedy for money. If you light the paper money and throw it in, at least it won't arouse the ghost's resentment.
I quickly took out a stack of paper money from my bag, lit it, and threw it in. The light from the paper money was not that bright, but it could still illuminate the corners clearly.
Embroidered shoes? There was a pair of embroidered shoes on the ground, which were still blood red and looked very eye-catching.
"Let's go quickly." Just when I was about to reach out and pick up the embroidered shoes to take a look, Bai Mengting Yiba grabbed me.
“Do you know this thing?” Judging from the frightened expression on Bai Mengting’s face, it seems that she knows the information about these embroidered shoes.
"Master Bai has mentioned this pair of embroidered shoes to me before. Anyway, let's stay away from them." Bai Mengting said.
"Since Mrs. Bai has mentioned it to you, she must know about the embroidered shoes! Should we go find Mrs. Bai and ask her for her opinion?" I asked.
"That's all." Bai Mengting nodded lightly.
Bai Mengting and I quickly went downstairs, drove her Z4, and headed towards Sanheyuan.
When we walked to the entrance of Sanheyuan, we actually heard the sound of the piano? It’s so late, Master Bai is still not asleep? Are you still playing the piano?
"Does Mr. Bai know that we are coming, so he is waiting for us on purpose?" I asked Bai Mengting.
"It's possible." Bai Mengting said.
It was late at night, and Mrs. Bai, who was wearing thin clothes, was sitting in the pavilion playing the piano. Didn't she feel cold?
“It’s so elegant!” I said hello to Mr. Bai with a smile. "No matter how good the mood is, it was ruined by you two." Master Bai glanced at me and Bai Mengting with extremely disgusting eyes.
