haunted by ghosts

Chapter 47: What to Pretend

"You asked me to lure ghosts. Is this a long-term job or a part-time job." Halfway through, Lu Li thought of an important question. He stopped Ying Yi when he was about to take a shower with his clothes on. "Don't lose my job then. I have nothing left with you."

"Full-time." Ying also pushed his hand away. "I'll pay you a year's salary if it's less than a month."

Lu Li smiled. Looking at his back as he walked away, he squinted his eyes and shouted again: "Then you quit your job, too?"

At two o'clock, the two went out to the client's place. Lu Li didn't know what the owner's hobbies were. It's the new era of the 21st century. That family still lived in an antique Qing Dynasty house. Compared with Si Rui's house, this family more unique.

He followed Ying Yi, walking step by step. It seemed that someone had just died in this house. There was a white paper lantern hanging outside. Lu Li shook hands subconsciously: "What does this mean? In ancient times, dead people hang white lanterns. Use it now."

Ying also signaled him to shut up and knocked on the door in front of the mansion.

There was an echo in the empty space. Lu Li's eyes widened in surprise. The weather can't be said to be particularly hot now. But it doesn't feel cold even if you wear a coat. It still feels cold.

The door was opened. A normal person finally came out. He was dressed in modern attire from head to toe. Lu Li was a little wider. But the man's face was blue and purple. His eyes were dull and he nodded: "Sir, who are you looking for?" .”

Ying Yi took out a business card. That person opened the door of the mansion wide. Lu Li looked up at the plaque. By the way, he ignored the two white lanterns. He wrapped up his coat and followed Ying Yi into the door.

Zheng Mansion.

The decent one even has a plaque. It is no different from the residence of a wealthy family in the Qing Dynasty. He walked quickly and walked side by side with Ying Yi. He clubbed his arm: "Do you think there is something wrong?"

"Everywhere is right. Are there any ghosts to catch?" Ying Yi stared straight ahead and lowered his voice back to him.

The house is full of darkness. Even the people inside are abnormal. Especially the person who just opened the door. At this moment, he led the two of them to the front yard in a daze. No matter what he asked, he didn't respond. Ying also frowned. Frowning. There is a feeling of being played by Wei Yuchen.

A gloomy atmosphere suppressed people's mood. The two followed the man straight forward and turned. The repeated movements seemed endless. Lu Li couldn't see Ying Yi's emotions, so he could only follow him silently. Wei Yuchen said that you must follow him closely. Otherwise, what will happen if you are alone and bump into something unclean.

I don't know how long it took. Lu Li finally saw a human being who looked like a human being.

The man dressed in formal attire hurried forward when he saw Lu Li and the two of them. The frown between his brows was smoothed away. Correspondence also politely said: "These are the two masters that Mr. Wei called."

"I'm not." Lu Li replied clearly. "Did someone in your family pass away?"

"Yes." The man sighed. "My uncle just passed away this morning. Well, it's hard to say."

Except for a few guards in the mourning hall, the rest of the family gathered together. They also said that three months ago, there was a sudden change in the family. First, the younger brother of the man who died today passed away. Then the whole house was like It's like being possessed by an evil spirit, and you can hear the low voice of a woman every night.

I don’t know what she is talking about. But the whole yard is filled with this kind of sound. We also thought of a way. At night, prepare a few bright lights to illuminate the whole yard and search for that woman. But no matter how hard we try, we can’t catch her .I didn't even see a shadow.

Speaking. The person who called the deceased uncle. That is, Zheng Meng. He walked to Lu Li with a trembling voice: "A few days ago, my mother said that she saw a shadow outside her room. But why open the window? None. The outside of her room is empty. There are only a few trees in the distance. You can’t see those trees.”

"All of us live here. Uncle and uncle's children don't come back often when they go to school outside. I will come. But it's just to take a break from work. I didn't expect this incident to become more and more troublesome."

Seeing him coming, Lu Li couldn't help taking a step back: "Is there anything I missed?"

He shook his head. He looked back at the group.

A little girl took a step forward hesitantly: "I've seen that woman before."

"What nonsense?" Zheng Meng interrupted her.

"What are you in a hurry for? Don't you want to find out what's going on? You step back and let her continue." Lu Li moved closer to Ying Yi.

"It's the place in the backyard. One night I heard a voice very close. I couldn't help it and walked out. Then. Then I saw her lying there. I saw me waving at me. Let me go. She called. Called me Xiner."

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Zheng Meng looked a little angry. "Whether it's a human or a ghost, she was arrested at that time. Let's see how she commits crimes."

The little girl shrank her neck and stepped back. She grabbed a woman's hand and said, "Mom."

"Don't be harsh on her." The woman shook her head and looked at her. "Have you seen what she looks like?"

"I." The little girl hesitated. He looked at Zheng Meng hesitantly. Zheng Meng then said, "How can I see clearly at night. Do you think it is Xiner."

"You just said it. The big tile lamp is shining. I can't see clearly." Lu Li smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up.

Ying Yi nodded: "I don't want to die. Don't keep a word. Your sister is Xiner. The person lying in the yard knows her."

Zheng Meng frowned and said nothing.

"Tell me. What kind of person is he? He won't look like your mother."

Lu Li originally asked her casually. After all, Xiner must be someone she knows so affectionately, and she is a woman. So Lu Li asked such a question without thinking. Reluctantly dodged backwards.

"Xin'er." The woman wondered. "Who did you say you saw that night?"

"Actually, you have already discovered that that woman is your mother. Mr. Zheng. Such a big lie. What do you want to use it for?" Lu Li asked.

Some people in the crowd thought it was incredible. They all looked at Zheng Meng. Even his mother looked at him hesitantly.

"No. She's not my mother." Zheng Meng shook his head, a little anxiously.

"What are you hiding?"

"It's her. I saw her portrait in the ancestral hall." Zheng Meng was a little helpless. "Uncle, uncle, and father who has passed away for several years. I have seen them talking to that portrait. Said. Yan'er. I'm sorry. They have been repeating their confession."

"It's a crime." The woman cried and shouted. Only when she retreated from the crowd did several people cry. "Sister, why don't you let us go."

According to her narration, Yan'er was her twin sister. When she was young, the three young masters of the Zheng family liked her. Because she preferred ancient styles, they bought this house for her to live in. But the elder sister didn't like anyone. She just liked her. A poor boy. The two of them can be regarded as lovers and concubines. But her parents don't allow it. She insists on choosing one of the three young masters of the Zheng family.

There was no way out. The two decided to elope. But the news leaked out. The poor boy was captured and beaten. His arms and legs were broken. He felt that he was not worthy of Yan'er, so he committed suicide.

And because Yan'er fell into the hands of Zheng's family, those people had evil intentions and united to force her. In the end, they gave birth to twins. But the father didn't know which one. Only the father that Zheng Meng said was willing to marry her. But she committed suicide Thoughts come up long after a loved one commits suicide. While they are busy with the birth of a child, the mind just lets that person go.

After that, all three felt guilty. As her younger sister, the woman who is Zheng Meng's current mother, her guilt was even deeper. She was the one who leaked the news to the Zheng family.

Everything is evil.

The woman let out a long sigh, and hugged Zheng Meng's two brothers and sisters: "I have always felt that she has not left all these years. But I just can't see her. Your uncle and uncle have passed away one after another. I am the only one she hates. The debt I owe is finally I still have to pay it back."

"It's not her." Ying Yi said suddenly. "Zheng Meng said earlier that the strange thing only happened in the last three months. If it was Yan'er, she couldn't wait until the child grows up to take revenge."

"Mom." Zheng Xin raised her head. She didn't expect her words to trigger such a series of ancient events. "You never said a single cruel word to me since you were young. I don't believe it. I only have you as a mother."

Zheng Meng is not like Zheng Xin. He feels that he is very confused now. The person he wanted to protect turned out to be one of the driving forces behind the death of his biological mother.

No wonder when he saw that woman, that woman would call him Menger with sad eyes. She wanted him to go over and hug him.

"Think about it again. What happened recently." Lu Li interrupted their lingering family relationship. "A haunted ghost suddenly appeared. It can't be because it got bored. Come out and have some fun."

Zheng Meng stepped aside. He recalled something special that happened in the past three months. He didn't come back often. But it wasn't that he didn't. Before his uncle died, he saw a cat that was all black. His eyes flickered The gloomy light. At that time, he thought it was a wild cat that came out to look for food. He didn’t pay much attention to it. Moreover, the cat’s eyes were shining at night. It didn’t mean anything at all.

But now that I think about it, there's nothing special about it except this one. The cat's eyes. He can't forget it until now. It's scary. Especially scary.

As soon as he said this, Lu Li was stunned for a moment. He leaned over to Ying Yi and whispered, "It can't be yours. If you want to play in Chijing, you can't find such a remote place."

"Although you are... um... a celestial master you don't recognize. But the cats you raise can't be as smart as people."

Ying also ignored it. He just asked: "Is there anything else?"

Zheng Meng shook his head. He looked at the two mothers and daughters who were still embracing each other.

Zheng Xin is studying at university. She is the one who goes home the least often. She definitely doesn't know.

Then his mother.

"I." The woman hesitated, her eyes turned suddenly, and she looked elsewhere. "I haven't seen it."

"Really." Ying Yi walked over suddenly, grabbed her wrist, narrowed her eyes slightly, and shouted. "How long do you want to pretend?"
