I babysit for ghosts

After entering, Shen Tu stood in front of the shrine and wrote down the names on the tablet one by one, and Qin Xiao stood behind him to pay attention to the movement outside.

About five or six minutes later, there was a sudden sound from the gate of the ancestral hall, Qin Xiao was about to turn his head to remind Shen Tu, when suddenly his waist tightened, and he was taken behind the curtain on the side of the shrine, where the shadow area was very small, The two were forced to huddle together and looked outside along the gap in the curtain.

Hearing the sound of footsteps from far to near, Bai Luo, dressed in white, stepped into the high threshold of the hall.The clothes on her body seem to be some kind of traditional costumes, a button-up blouse with a jade placket on one side, an ankle-length skirt with white embroidered shoes, like a gentle girl walking out of an ancient painting , the same as when I was wearing Lolita before.

Walking to the shrine, she picked up three incense sticks from the desk and lit them, respectfully placed them three times on the memorial tablet, and then inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner in front.Under the candlelight, her face flickered, and her eyes were so calm that she could not see the vitality that young people should have. No matter how you looked at it, it was nothing like the innocent look in the daytime.

After waiting for a moment, she turned and walked out.It wasn't until the sound of her footsteps gradually disappeared, and the door of the ancestral hall sounded again, that Shen Tu led Qin Xiao out.

Shen Tu glanced outside the door, then turned to Qin Xiao and said softly, "Let's go."

"Have you memorized it all?" Qin Xiao was a little surprised. There were at least three or four hundred tablets, and he memorized them all in a few minutes.

"You think I'm you?" Shen Tu sneered at him contemptuously, and the two quietly walked out of the hall to the original corner.

When they left, an old woman over ninety years old quietly walked out from the other side of the hall of the ancestral hall. She bent her back and stared darkly at the direction they left.

When they got back to the car, Qin Xiao stayed on the way they came, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no movement. He turned his head and glared at Shen Tu, "You can solve this matter yourself at night, why did you bring me with you?"

It was so easy to climb over the wall and get in, and it was so easy to write down the name. He was not needed at all, and it made him more nervous.

Shen Tu threw the rope in his hand to the back seat, laughed out loud after seeing his expression, raised his hand to tease his chin and said, "It's a great pleasure for me to see you panicked, you have no idea?"

Qin Xiao stared and slapped his hand away fiercely, "I think you have lived too long and your mind is twisted."

Shen Tu shrugged indifferently, and set off, "However, I won't be by your side all the time, and I still have to learn what needs to be learned."

Qin Xiao was taken aback, and cast him a glance, very suspicious that he was making excuses for his bad behavior at night.

[095] Investigation (two more)

"There is someone else in the hall, do you feel it?"

"what?"

Shen Tu sighed helplessly, "So you only care about being nervous all night? I said this is a special training for you. Don't you think it's over just climbing a wall?"

Qin Xiao touched his nose suspiciously and guiltily, trying to recall in his mind what he saw and felt in the hall just now.

A strange feeling suddenly spread in his heart. At that time, he was being pressed behind the curtain by Shen Tu, and Bai Luo just came in. When he looked over, it seemed that the candle on the other side flickered slightly. At that time, he thought it was the wind, But now thinking about that direction, there is no wind at all, and the wind brought by Bai Luo's walking can't blow that far.

"Behind the candlestick on the left?" Qin Xiao asked uncertainly.

Shen Tu nodded slightly relieved, and Qin Xiao asked puzzledly, "You found out at that time? Then wouldn't we be exposed?"

"We don't have any clues at the moment. Instead of continuing to investigate like this, let them come back to us." Shen Tu wrote lightly, "Only by showing some flaws properly can we lure the enemy into taking the bait."

Qin Xiao was thoughtful, and asked in silence for a moment, "Have you used this technique many times before?"

Back home, Shen Tu found a pen and paper and put it in front of Qin Xiao, "I say you write."

...can't you write it yourself? !Qin Xiao was angry and helpless, sat aside with a pen and paper, listened to Shen Tu read out each name, and quickly recorded them all.

Early the next morning, Shen Tu received information about the villagers of Anlin Village sent by the ghost messenger in his mailbox. Qin Xiao immediately moved over and sat next to him to watch. Xiao Bai, who was holding dried fish in his mouth, also ran over and jumped He went to Qin Xiao's shoulder to look at it with them, Qin Xiao looked back at it, not to mention that the small eyes were quite serious, it seemed that he really understood it.

"I'm not right... none of them are right." Qin Xiao compared the list he wrote down with the list in the document. Not to mention the names, even the surnames were different.

The ancestral hall they went to yesterday was the Bai family's ancestral hall. Combined with the fact that Bai Luo went to offer incense, those memorial tablets should be her ancestors, and the personal information in the document has all other surnames except for two families with the surname Bai.

So the reason why Shen Tu went to the ancestral hall in the middle of the night to write down names was because he had already noticed something?

Qin Xiao continued to look down, and found that most of these villagers were still alive on the document, only a few who passed away at a very old age had the words "spirit accepted" written after their names.

He only had time to read the name, but Shen Tu had already read everything.He turned his head and said to Qin Xiao with a smile, "Do you want to have another special training tonight?"

... What are you going to do to sneak around again? !

At night, the two stopped at a place far away from the village as they did last night, and then sneaked inside.

"It's a human being anyway, is it appropriate to always do this kind of thing?" Qin Xiao couldn't help muttering.

"Don't talk, study hard at night, and report to me when you go back."

The two entered Anlin Village in the dark again, and it was as dark as yesterday.This time Shen Tu couldn't help but climb the wall of the ancestral hall, he wanted to climb over from house to house!

When he climbed to the fifth house, he was forced to find some skills to climb the wall. It used to take three kicks to get up, but now two kicks are enough.

...What a superfluous skill, Qin Xiao thought helplessly.

All the houses they visited were empty, and judging from the cleanliness of the homes, no one had lived in them for at least a few years.

Could it be that only Bai Luo's family lived in this village?Where did everyone else go?

There are the last two at the end of the village, Qin Xiao thinks there is no need to look at them, the result is obvious.But Shen Tu didn't seem to want to give up, Qin Xiao walked behind him, thinking about all these things in his mind.Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew from the side, and he was so cold that he subconsciously raised his neckline. Shen Tu didn't know when he walked to the side of the wind, and he still walked forward with a blank expression.

Qin Xiao turned his head and glanced at him, and came under the wall of another family in front of him. Shen Tu handed him the rope, and Qin Xiao imitated his previous movements and shook it twice before successfully fixing it. He Xiaoyuan, you can smell a musty smell when you walk to the door, so you don't need to go in to see it.

Qin Xiao turned his head to look at Shen Tu with an innocent face, Shen Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and went back the same way, the last house was just as he had guessed.

After returning home, Qin Xiao took a shower and went to Shentu's room. This time he didn't even close the door, as if he guessed that he would come.

Qin Xiao walked in loudly, and while brushing his hair, he reported what he saw and heard that night to Shen Tu who was sitting under the quilt reading a book.

"The villagers in a village are not here. There are only a few possibilities. First, there is a natural disaster, second, the city is planned to be demolished, third, to develop a business in another place, and fourth..." Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then continued, "All have been changed. became alien."

Shen Tu turned over a page of the book in his hand, without raising his head, he said, "Continue."

"Obviously there are many villagers with surnames living here, but all the memorial tablets of the Bai clan are placed in the ancestral hall. There are two possibilities. The Bai clan originally lived here, and those villagers moved in later, or vice versa. This Bai family ancestral hall appeared after those villagers disappeared."

But there are also big problems in this way. Qin Xiao thought of the grand ancestral hall and the astonishing number of tablets in the ancestral hall.If there was a big Bai family living here, what about their house?There are only 32 families in Anlin Village, and it's not just this problem, since their family is so big, why did only Bai Luo and the other two surnamed Bai remain? Where did the other Bai surnamed people go?How could so many people with foreign surnames be allowed to live in.Qin Xiao has a little understanding of this aspect. He knows that in ancient times, a clan was a village and a group. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are xenophobic, and foreign surnames are absolutely not allowed to move in.

If there is another situation, the Bai clan entered this village after all the villagers left here, and built that ancestral hall in the village, then there is still the same question, where have all those people gone?

Now there are two groups of people who have disappeared.

After listening to his analysis, Shen Tu continued to look at the book in his hand, and asked casually, "Then what do you think it is?"

Qin Xiao lay on the rocking chair and thought about it for a long time but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

"The little girl Bai Luo may know something, but these are not things that can be casually told to outsiders. I don't think she will tell us even if we ask."

"That makes sense, what else?"

Qin Xiao recalled the evening's itinerary from beginning to end, but to no avail.Get up and walk to Shentu's side of the bed, leaning against the bedpost and cross-legged to face him, "Say it."

Shen Tu raised his head and glanced at him, shook his head and said helplessly, "It's not always possible to ask for an answer, you can think about it yourself, and then tell me when you think about it."

Qin Xiao pouted, "Then shall we go to the special training tomorrow night?
