Looking at the things in this room, they are basically used for daily use, such as paper and pens for writing, a set of tea sets for drinking water, tea canisters, and a pot of asparagus bamboo half a meter high.The rest is basically a pile of miscellaneous books, which have probably been left here for a long time, and the pages are a little yellowed from the side.

Lu Xi flipped through every book, and took up the used manuscript paper to check, but found nothing. It was basically the tofu account written by Qiu Mo.

Just as Lu Xi walked to the closet and was going to check what was inside, he heard a bang from inside the closet.Although the sound was not loud, it was still very clear in this silent room.

Lu Xi's hand, which was about to open the cabinet door, suddenly hung in the air.

what's the situation……

Lu Xi hurriedly held her breath, and stepped back quietly, thinking to ask Steward Li to ask him to bring a few more people over to have a look, even if the person pretending to be here is not a ghost, but a burglar is enough for him to drink a pot of.

However, Lu Xi stepped lightly, and was just about to turn around and escape from the room when his back bumped against the corner of the table, and the teapot on the side of the table instantly fell to the ground. At the same time, the chandelier above his head flickered several times suddenly went out.

The surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness, Lu Xi froze in place, only feeling that it was over, the teapot and the floor lamp were all extinguished, there must be no human beings in this cabinet!

He stood in a stalemate for a long while, seeing that there seemed to be no movement from the side of the cabinet, and planned to leave here first after a little groping, he took a step back slowly, and moved back a little bit by touching the corner of the table.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps...

Lu Xi's movements suddenly paused, feeling the touch from his hands, and only felt a burst of scalp tingling...

When was a human hand placed on this table? !

Five cold fingers were under Lu Xi's palm, the adrenaline surged to the extreme at that moment, Lu Xi turned around and ran, but was dragged back by the hand on the table grabbing his wrist.How could Qiu Mo's small body be able to resist, he could only be dragged by the opponent like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.

At a critical moment, Lu Xi grabbed the sundries on the table and threw them in front of him. In the dark, he couldn't see where the other party was, so he could only rely on his intuition to throw them around. The clanging noise soon resounded throughout the room.

However, in a panic, he still touched the other's index finger, which was wearing a cold ring with a round bead in the center.

Fortunately, because the noise was too loud, the servants rushed over quickly, and Xia Jinbao ran over with him. While calling for his father, he fumbled to turn on the switch on the wall, and the light came on at once, and the bright white light filled his vision. He squinted his eyes from being stabbed, and when he recovered again, he found that the room was smashed into a mess, the pot of asparagus bamboo on the table was completely overturned, and the soil inside was spilled all over the floor.

Now that the light is on, and there are so many people watching, Lu Xi bravely pushed open the door of the closet. There are only a few folded old clothes inside, all neatly placed at the bottom of the closet, and there is no sound at all. s things.

Sure enough, there was indeed something hidden in the cabinet just now.

But the other party is a ghost, coming and going without a trace, even if he wants to catch him, he can't do it.

Xia Jinbao ran over to help Lu Xi's arm, but Lu Xi avoided him calmly, "It's all right, a mouse suddenly ran into the room just now, and it happened that the light was off, which shocked me."

Looking at his pale complexion, Xia Jinbao was still a little worried: "Is it really all right? Otherwise, father, you and I can go to sleep in my room tonight."

Looking at Xia Jinbao's hopeful expression, Lu Xi felt like a thorn in his throat. Do you lack fatherly love so much when you are old?

Just as Lu Xi was about to rebuff, when his eyes swept over the ground, he suddenly saw a section of red string exposed under the broken asparagus pot. His eyes were fixed immediately, and he bent down to pull the red string out of the soil bit by bit, and found that the string was There is also a copper key hanging on the top. It may have been hidden in the soil for too long, and a layer of dark green copper rust has formed on the surface.

He took out the veil and wiped off the soil attached to the key, and found two characters engraved on the handle of the key: Warehouse.

73, 73

After tossing and tossing for a long time, he finally cleaned up the broken items in the room, but Lu Xi finally refused Xia Jinbao's request to live with him in his room.

Aside from embarrassment, it's mostly unnecessary.Those who came to harass him were ghosts, not human beings. If the other party really wanted to find him, it would be useless even if they called all the people in Xia Mansion to live together.

However, he also ordered Steward Li to send additional people outside the house to guard the door overnight. As long as Lu Xi gave an order, he would be able to break in immediately, which also gave him a sense of security.

In the dead of night, Lu Xi was lying on the bed looking at the key in his hand, thinking that he would go to the warehouse behind to have a look tomorrow. Since Qiu Mo would hide the key of the warehouse so secretly, it means that there may be some unknown secret hidden in the warehouse , maybe it is related to the clue of the first mission card.

Lu Xi put the key to the warehouse in her own pocket, and just fell asleep.Unexpectedly, I had a strange dream that night.

The dream unfolded from his perspective, but the owner of the dream was not him, but Qiu Mo.

It was a dim room. Qiu Mo sat by the bed, looking at the person lying on the bed through a layer of dirty gauze.

The woman on the bed seemed to be about to die, she stretched out a skinny hand from inside, and handed him a silver ring with a green emerald bead inlaid in the center, like a drop of leaves passing by the candlelight. The sharp dewdrops are clear and translucent.

Qiu Mo frowned, and reluctantly took the ring over, and heard the woman say: "Ah Mo, I'm sorry for you, your father left early, and spent a lot of money on my illness these years. But this ring It was left by Ah Chang's father, and must be handed over to Ah Sheng. The rest of my money and dowry are left to you, only this ring, must be handed over to Ah Chang!"

After being repeatedly urged by the woman, Qiu Mo hummed indifferently, and the woman inside was relieved. The hand hanging in mid-air slowly dropped, and hit the edge of the bed with a bang, and never lifted it up again.

Soon the scene changed to the scene of the funeral. Qiu Mo was holding a spiritual tablet in front, followed by a six or seven-year-old boy, the heels behind the sandals were exposed, and the clothes were covered with patches of different colors. The exposed skin is dirty, only a pair of big and bright eyes.

He followed behind, quietly holding Qiu Mo's clothes corner with one hand, and looked at the people around him with panicked eyes.

The little boy asked in a low voice: "Brother, where are they going to take Mother?"

Qiu Mo frowned, and knocked off the little boy's hand, "Shut up!"

The little boy was so frightened that he hurriedly silenced, and continued to stagger to keep up with him, and then a series of grunts came from his stomach.He hurriedly covered his stomach tightly, for fear that Qiu Mo would hear his stomach cries.

The coffin was parked in the mourning hall of Yizhuang. Qiu Mo put down the spirit card and was about to leave, but was held back by the little boy, "Brother, I will go too!"

Qiu Mo pulled his hand away impatiently: "Stay well here, and if I come back later and find you running around, I will kill you!"

Scared by his raised hand, the little boy shrank his shoulders and stepped back. It could be seen that Qiu Mo's words were not simply to scare children, but had been practiced long ago.

Looking at Qiu Moyang's back, the little boy sat on the ground and leaned against the coffin beside him, tears streaming down his face: "Mom, I'm so hungry..."

When Qiu Mo walked out of Yizhuang, he tore off the white cloth wrapped around his head, threw it on the ground, ran all the way to the bank in the town, pawned the emerald ring, and exchanged it for 15 yuan.

He stuffed pieces of the 14 yuan into the insoles and hid them, then went to nearby Yongan Fuji to buy a greasy roast chicken, wrapped it in tattered clothes and ran all the way back to the dilapidated house, closed the door, and Unwrapping the straw rope on the kraft paper bag, I couldn't wait to tear off the two chicken legs and eat it.

Qiu Mo was like a ghost crawling out of hell, constantly gnawing on the roast chicken on the table, wishing he could chew and swallow the bones together, like being possessed by gluttonous gluttons, gorging himself on it.

But at the next moment, he suddenly grabbed his neck, as if he was choking on something, and the roast chicken that he ate before fell out of his throat piece by piece.

He scratched his throat with his hands in pain, trying to get out what was stuck inside, but the moment he raised his head to look up, a pale woman's face was staring at him without blinking, her long hair was loose, A blood-red shroud fluttered in the air.

Two skinny hands tightly strangled Qiu Mo's neck, and said grimly, "I'm not... telling you... to give the ring... to A Sheng..."

Qiu Mo was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "I was wrong! I will go to the pawn shop to redeem it right now and return it to him!"

The female ghost bent her lips, and her small red mouth suddenly split into a bloody mouth, and her shrill voice seemed to echo in hell: "It's late..."

"what--!"

With a scream, Lu Xi woke up from her dream, her clothes were drenched in cold sweat.He looked around with lingering fear, and found that the sky outside the window was already bright.

Recalling the last scene of the dream just now, Lu Xi couldn't help shivering. Was that dream a foreknowledge or a memory?The weirdest thing is that the face of the female ghost in the dream is exactly the same as that of Yueqi!

And that little boy is also named Ah Kai.

Moon Chee, Ah Chee.

Could this be a coincidence...

Lu Xi woke up early from the nightmare, and was the first to arrive at the restaurant. After a while, Xia Jinbao also arrived. Lu Xi saw that there was no one outside the door, so she hurriedly called Xia Jinbao over.

Seeing Lu Xi actively approaching, Xia Jinbao just had a hint of joy on his face, when he heard Yue Che's name the next moment, he immediately sank his face, turned his head and said coldly: "I don't know."

Lu Xi: "then she
