Fairy Tea Temple Notes

Lin Siying's hometown is Shihou Village in Xishi Town. It is said to be a village, but now there is no arable land, and stone processing factories are everywhere.The roads leading from the village to the townships are full of potholes due to heavy trucks coming and going.

The road was dilapidated, the road was bumpy, and the road was being repaired again. The two-lane lane became a single-lane lane. In this situation, there were big trucks galloping by from time to time, which was quite thrilling.

Dust hit his face, He Qing closed the car window, and looked out the window melancholy.He had never seen such a mess of traffic.Fortunately, Ke Shicheng is good at driving and can easily navigate the traffic.

Lin Siying's red car was supposed to lead the way, but she drove very slowly, but Ke Shicheng would stop and wait for her from time to time.I don't know whether he was very patient with this woman, or he was just a polite and personable man.

Before He Qing came to Xishi Town, he knew from the conversation between Lin Siying and Ke Shicheng that they were high school classmates.According to Lin Siying, there was a haunted forest near the school back then, and many students saw ghosts. Later, Ke Shicheng went to check it out, pointed out the place where the corpse was buried, and helped solve an old case, which caused a sensation.Ke Shicheng is very famous among his classmates, and many classmates know Ke Shicheng's ability.

At this moment, He Qing, who was sitting in the car, was still thinking about how he would ask them in the Taoist temple, "Can I follow?"

If he was fed a mouthful of dog food by them, he would definitely be embarrassed, and then inexplicably sad.

However, it has been half an hour since I got on the bus, and it is useless to regret it.

At dusk, the red car turned into a village gate, and Ke Shicheng's car followed.When the car passed the village gate, He Qing saw the words "Queen of the Stone" written on the archway entering the village.

The village road is quite spacious, but it is more dilapidated than the road outside. Several large trucks come and go in the village, and stone processing factories can be seen on the roadside from time to time.

"Is there a quarry here?"

There is a classmate in Heqing University who is from Xishi Town. It seems that he has heard that stone is produced locally.

"Yes, they are all blocked."

A large truck carrying several tons of boulders passed by, and this was the first time He Qing saw such a large boulder.

"That's a lot of wagons carrying stones."

"Stone materials are shipped from outside for processing, and there are many stone processing factories in the village."

Ke Shicheng had questions and answers, and he was actually very patient with He Qing.

Xishi Town is a relatively well-known place. More than ten years ago, the local quarry had not been closed, and the villagers got rich by selling stone materials.

The residential houses at the head of Shihou Village are magnificently built, all of which are high-rise courtyards. Unfortunately, they are covered with stone dust, and most of the flowers, plants and trees are dead.

Rich people move out of the village, and those who stay in the village are either poor or nostalgic old people.

Lin Siying's car was parked in front of a three-story stone house. This house had a large yard with a cloth shed, and many people were busy in the shed.At this time, the sky was dark, the shed was brightly lit, and there were many people.

This is Lin Siying's grandfather's house.

Ke Shicheng took He Qing out of the car, Lin Siying came over to entertain them, and led them into the house.Because the funeral was going on, there were people inside and outside the Lin family's house, coming and going in a hurry, but no one paid attention to the two strangers breaking in.

It is a custom in the countryside that before the old man is about to die, he is carried to the side of the living room, and two benches are put together to make a bed for the old man to lie on.At this time, the old man should be put on the shroud in a hurry. If the old man dies before putting on the shroud, he will not be able to get these clothes when he goes to the underworld.It's all superstition.

In the hot weather, Grandpa Lin's body was not placed on a wooden board, but packed in a special ice coffin.

The Lin family set up a mourning hall above the hall, and lit candles under the ice coffin. Relatives stood by the candles day and night and burned gold foil paper, which was the travel money for the deceased.

When Lin Siying entered the room, she was called over by her mother, and asked softly why she had brought two outsiders.Lin Siying and her mother explained the reason, but Lin's mother didn't seem to object and didn't say anything else.Lin Siying went to the front of the hall to talk to her uncle who was in charge of burning the gold leaf paper. The uncle looked back at Ke Shicheng, turned around again, and ignored him.

He Qing paid attention to the appearance of this uncle, he was a fat middle-aged man, he looked tired and weak.Ke Shicheng scanned the mourning hall and the people who entered and exited the mourning hall, and did not see anything unusual for the time being.When he first stepped into the Lin residence, Ke Shicheng found that the Fengshui of the Lin residence was good, and the layout of the doors and windows in the kitchen and bedroom was exquisite. The Lin family obviously paid more attention to Fengshui.

"Shi Cheng, do you see anything wrong?"

Lin Siying asked Ke Shicheng in a low voice, she knew Ke Shicheng's ability.When she was in junior high school, there was an incident that made her classmates afraid of Ke Shicheng, but she was not afraid. She felt that Ke Shicheng was very powerful and not an ordinary person.

"With such a layout, there should be a backyard."

Ke Shicheng whispered that he wanted to visit the backyard.

Lin Siying nodded and led Ke Shicheng out through the side door.Under the moonlight, the backyard of the Lin residence was also very lively, apart from the adults enjoying the shade, there were also four or five children playing.

"These two are children of my relatives, and the other two belong to neighbors."

The four children were chasing each other in the backyard. The older ones were eleven or twelve years old, and the younger ones were six or seven years old.

In fact, there was another child hiding under a longan tree in the backyard. He Qing saw her.But the light in the backyard couldn't reach the longan tree, so He Qing couldn't see her appearance clearly.

He Qing wanted to go up to see what kind of child it was, but Ke Shicheng stretched out his hand to stop him.

If you look carefully, you will find that there are two longan trees in the backyard of the forest house under the moonlight, and behind the longan trees is a pool of water.

"When will the pool in the backyard be filled?"

Just as He Qing said "huh" in his heart, he found that there was still a pool, and Ke Shicheng was already asking Lin Siying about the pool.

Lin Siying showed a puzzled expression, and said slowly: "It seems that there is really a pool, I seem to have seen it when I was a child." As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately said excitedly: "Shi Cheng, how do you know there is a pool!"

"Don't panic."

Ke Shicheng's tone was flat, he didn't feel any evil aura, although the child hiding under the longan tree was unusual.

Lin Siying calmed down. Did she find Ke Shicheng because of Ke Shicheng's ability in this area, but sometimes thinking about it, this person is really scary.What did he see in those bright star-like eyes?

After looking at the front and back of the courtyard, Lin Siying led Ke Shicheng and He Qing to the second floor.On the second floor, there was a group of distant relatives and neighbors chatting with melon seeds. When they saw Lin Siying bringing two young men up, they all cast curious glances.Lin Siying ignored their gossip and took them to see the second and third floors.

Lin Siying actually didn't know what she wanted Ke Shicheng to find out, or what kind of answer she would give her.In high school, Ke Shicheng used a very magical technique to save a classmate. He had a special ability, and it was said that he could communicate with ghosts.

Late at night, most of the people who came to help and join in the fun went home, and the Lin house became empty.

The immediate relatives of the Lin family, who had been busy all day, sat in the side hall and chatted, reminiscing about the events of the deceased.Ke Shicheng stood under the window of the side hall, as if he was watching the night, but also seemed to be thinking about something.

He Qing accompanied Ke Shicheng. He sat on a chair in the aisle and looked at the lonely yard.

The figures under the tent dispersed, and the firewood in the cauldron was also extinguished.Only two women were washing dishes by the well, and the orange lights shone on their faces, making their smiles look a little weird.

"Ke Daochang, how did you find out that the pool was filled?"

He Qing is still thinking about the pool in the backyard. Although he usually sees all kinds of strange things, he often can't tell the truth from the fake.

He Qing didn't hear the answer behind him, turned his head and found that Daoist Ke had long since disappeared.

Not only was Daoist Ke nowhere to be seen, even the voices speaking in the side hall disappeared.He Qing stood up and visited the mourning hall in the main hall, only to see Lin Siying's uncle kneeling under a white candle burning gold foil paper, and there was no one else in the main hall.This middle-aged balding man left He Qing with a white and erratic back.

He Qing turned around and found that the two women who were washing dishes by the well were gone, the yard was empty and the evening wind was bleak.He Qing walked down the stone steps and wanted to go around to the backyard from the side of the house. He thought that Ke Shicheng might have gone to the backyard.

He was walking alone, wondering why there was no one's voice now, the house was very lively before.As he walked, he realized that he had returned to the gate of the courtyard. Hey, if he went around and returned to the original place, he should have passed the backyard, but he didn't realize that he had passed through the backyard.

The wind at the gate of the courtyard was so strong that He Qing, who was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, shivered from the cold.He Qing clutched his arms and wanted not to go back to the house, but Daoist Ke was not mean enough and left him alone.Thinking of this, He Qing turned around and wanted to go back to the house, at this moment, he saw an old man with a stick standing under the gate of the courtyard.

He Qing originally thought it was a guest returning from the Lin's house at night, but he didn't think it was strange at first glance, but he realized something was wrong at the second glance.The old man is wearing a scarf and an autumn and winter coat.He Qing was already close to the old man at this time, and he noticed that the wind lion Lord ornament on the satchel was shining brightly, he thought he might have seen something like that.

Before He Qing could escape, the old man slowly raised his head and asked He Qing: "Young man (boy), what are you doing at my house?"

He Qing didn't know whether to answer or not. Hearing the old man's gentle tone, he might not be a bad ghost.He Qing said: "I came here with my friends, old man, what are you doing here so late?"

The old man narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I, I'm waiting for someone, if you don't come, forget it, forget it."

He Qing wanted to ask who he was waiting for, when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew up, dust hit his face, when He Qing opened his eyes again, there was no old man in front of him.

gone.He Qing wondered if he was Lin Siying's grandfather.

I had to tell Ke Shicheng about this. He Qing climbed the stone steps, and immediately heard the sound of tea being poured and chatting in the side hall. He turned around and found that the two old women washing dishes by the well were still there.Um, what's going on here?

He Qing didn't think too much, walked into the main hall, he saw Ke Shicheng folded his chest and turned his back to him, looking intently at the mourning hall.Lin Siying's uncle and aunt said: "It's also strange, and it can't be burned." Lin Siying and four or five female family members made the funeral white cloth in the main hall. When she heard her uncle's words, she stood up and walked towards Ke Shicheng.

Ke Shicheng put his index finger to his lips and made a booing motion.Lin Siying didn't speak, she stared at Ke Shicheng with wide eyes in fear, and then at the mourning hall.
