I was wrong, I was really wrong!

"The number of pages is missing? Someone tore it up?" Qi Shan stood in the entrance, changing his slippers and asked, "Have you been here?"

"Yes, not long after you and your dad left in the morning, he brought the books over, and left after sitting for a while." Grandpa Dou took off his reading glasses, put the books on the table, and said in a firm tone: "Look at me It seems that the book has not been torn, there is no trace of being torn in the cracks of the book, it should be that it was not printed at all when it was copied."

"They didn't print it, so how do you know that the book is missing pages? Have you read it?" Qi Shan said, and went into the room to change clothes.It was in the evening, Qingyu was actually sleeping on the bed, when Qi Shan opened the door, he didn't expect that, talking to grandpa while opening the door, he woke up Qingyu without paying attention.

Qingyu fell into a drowsy sleep, even if her body woke up, she was still not very sober.He rubbed his eyes with his small hands, squinted and looked at the ceiling in a daze.

Qi Shan thought he was so amusing, deliberately leaned over to the bed, and asked him, "Qingyu, how much is this?"

Hearing his voice, Qingyu turned her eyes from looking at the ceiling, and looked at him blankly, "Brother...sleepy." After speaking, she couldn't bear the drowsiness, her eyelids drooped, and she tried to open them again within two seconds. Then couldn't resist closing it.

Qi Shan looked amused, lowered her head and kissed his forehead, "Good boy, sleep when you're sleepy, and call you after eating." Almost immediately, Qingyu fell asleep again.Only then did Qi Shan quietly walk to the closet to change clothes.

"It's not from the little girl's house, why is it so slow to change clothes?" As soon as he went out, he was greeted with merciless ridicule by his grandfather.

Qi Shan: "..." He just told the little black cat about "new year, new atmosphere", but it doesn't seem to be the case in their family, he is still the second grandson who is at the bottom of the food chain.Sighing helplessly, Qi Shan went to sit down opposite Grandpa, "Grandpa, what time did Qingyu go to bed today?"

Grandpa Dou looked up at the time and said, "Oh, it's been more than two hours. This little guy can sleep well, and I'll wake him up for dinner later. If he sleeps any longer, he won't be able to sleep at night." , caught a glimpse of "Ghost Story" on the table, and remembered the topic just now: "By the way, help me ask your big brother about this book."

It just so happened that Mama Qi came out of the kitchen and heard her grandpa talking about it again, so she chimed in and said, "Yes! Hurry up and ask your grandpa, I've been sitting here and reading for a long time. Qingyu went to sleep because of his talking about it. I haven't woken up yet."

"Okay." Qi Shan responded, and was about to take out his phone when he suddenly remembered that today is a special day and it is not appropriate to disturb Qi Hang, so he put the phone away again and said to his grandpa: "Grandpa, let's ask tomorrow, I just remembered that in the morning When I went to the big brother's house, my aunt mentioned it, and the big brother is very busy today."

"Well, remember to ask for me tomorrow."

Qi Shan nodded repeatedly. "Hey, where's my dad?"

Qi Ma, who was about to wake Qingyu up, stopped when she heard the words, turned her head and said: "Your third uncle went to drink."

Qi Shan nodded to show that he understood, and picked up the book on the table.He randomly flipped through two pages, talking about things that violated the laws of nature, but he really couldn't understand it, so he put it down again. "By the way, grandpa, you haven't told me yet. Since there is no trace of tearing, how do you know that it is missing a page?"

When Grandpa Dou heard his question, he touched his chin subconsciously, thinking of twirling his beard and smiling, making an inscrutable appearance.It's a pity that he didn't remember until he touched his chin with his fingers, the beard he had grown for half a year was shaved quietly by Master Ma a few years ago.Hey, why does Master Ma always have trouble with his beard?

Without a beard, it’s hard to put on airs of a capable person. Grandpa could only cough and clear his throat, and then said: "This set of "Ghost Story", I heard your great-grandfather mention it when I was young. Back then He said he read it at the place of an old friend. Now it seems that he should have read it in the old house of the Qi family when he lived in Nantang Town. When he told me, he was no longer in Nantang Town. So I haven't read this book, but your great-grandfather told me roughly what's in this book. But today when I read this book, it's less than what your great-grandfather said. "

"What's missing?" Qi Shan asked him.

Grandpa narrowed his eyes and remained silent, acting completely unfathomable.This is the habit that Grandpa Dou has accumulated from his early years in the magic stick business. Only when such a shelf is displayed can the price be called beautifully.

But grandpa's way of doing business is placed on Qi Shan, and it is inevitable that there will be times when it fails.Qi Shan touched an orange from the fruit plate, peeled it and said, "It's fine if you don't want to say it. But if you don't make it clear, I'm afraid I won't be able to ask the big brother tomorrow, what do you think?"

If grandpa still had a beard, it must have been blown up by now. "After a year, you'll be able to improve your skills! Brat!" He laughed and cursed, put away his unfathomable airs, and said, "Your great-grandfather said that there is an article in "Ghost Story" about how Keep the soul of the dead person in the world and prevent him from going to reincarnation."

Grandpa fiddled with the few books on the table, "I flipped through this book as soon as I got it. The ones your great-grandfather mentioned are all there, but this one is missing."

Qi Shan's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. "You mean, the person who copied this set of books intentionally left out that one?"

Grandpa shook his head uncertainly: "Not necessarily. After all, preventing the reincarnation of the dead is unkind and inhumane. Maybe, before this book was copied, someone omitted that one Well. The purpose is not to let more people see this insidious method."

That's what he said, but Qi Shan's thinking is different from that of his grandfather.After all, grandpa doesn't know about Qi Hang and Yan He, so his thinking direction must be different from Qi Shan's.Compared with grandpa's inference, Qi Shan prefers that Qi Hang deliberately omitted that article when copying.

As for the reason, I'm afraid he didn't want to arouse Qi Shan's suspicion.It's just that he didn't expect that his grandfather had already known the general content of this set of books from his great-grandfather, and he also discovered the lack of this set of books.

Qi Shan thought, what the truth is, probably will not be known until the day when Yanhe is overthrown.

"Grandpa, I need your help..."

……

Once the Lantern Festival is over, the busy new year has officially begun.The 16th day of the new year is the day when Qi Shan and Yan He made an appointment to see him off.After many years, my grandfather returned to his old job, and deliberately went back to his hometown in advance to find out everything that had been under the box for a long time.

Qi's father and Qi's mother were invited out of the house by their grandfather early in the morning, and the two parents didn't quite know what the grandparents and grandchildren were going to do at home.But they saw all the things that grandpa brought here, and they probably knew what grandpa was going to do, and Mother Qi was still telling them to be careful before going out.

Yan He came to Qi Shan's community for the third time, but he still didn't know the exact address of Qi Shan's home, so he could only wait for Qi Shan to pick him up at the gate of the community.

The waiting time is the easiest time to be in a daze. Yan He leaned against the window of the security room, his eyes fell on the two security guards who were chatting inside, but his thoughts had already drifted away.He was thinking about his birthday.

As he said to Qi Shan, the number of times he has seen Qi Hang in recent years is not too much.So before seeing Qi Hang on the first day of the new year, he hadn't seen this person for several months.The Qi Hang I saw that day didn't seem to have changed.Every time he came to his tomb, Qi Hang seemed to have endless things to say, and Yan He could lean on his tombstone and listen to him chanting for a day.

He also thought that there were some things between him and Qi Hang that he hadn't mentioned to Qi Shan.For example, not many people knew about their marriage back then. At that time, only his own parents and the Yan family's couple knew about it.Qi Hang's parents only found out about this shortly before his death. As for Yan Yun and Yan Yang, they never knew about it.

For another example, Qi Shan never asked him why he became a ghost after death.Or Qi Shan thought about this problem himself, Yan He guessed that Qi Shan probably thought that he stayed in the world because he couldn't let go of his feelings for Qi Hang.

But the reality is not like this. Thinking of this, Yan He suddenly wanted to sigh.But he is a ghost, he can't sigh, he can only pretend to sigh.

The reason why he became a ghost in the first place was his hatred for Qi Hang.

In Yan He's sight, Qi Shan was walking towards the gate of the community.Qi Shan saw Yan He outside the window of the security room, moved his eyes a little, and glanced at the two security guards who were chatting inside the window, seeing that they didn't know about the ghost outside the window, he couldn't help showing a smile to Yan He. Bad smile.

Yan He also took a look inside the security room, and smiled back at Qi Shan.Just like Qi Shan's smile when he saw him for the first time, it was gentle and comfortable to look at.

In fact, he lied to Qi Shan, a long, long lie.But he was leaving soon, and that lie would make his acquaintance with Qi Shan more complete.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Qi Shan walked up to Yan He and asked.

Yan He shook his head, "Not too long."

"Let's go," Qi Shan turned and walked in front to lead the way for Yan He, "This is your first time visiting my house. I just told grandpa that you are my friend, and I didn't say much else."

"En. Thank you." Yan He stared at Qi Shan's back and shook his head.

When they entered the door, Grandpa had already taken off the blindfold. As soon as he saw Yan He, he exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Hey! This is really the best-looking ghost I have ever seen."

Yan He couldn't help being amused by him: "Grandpa, hello."

"Yeah, you're good too." Grandpa said, leading him into the living room.Grandpa has already prepared all the things needed by the super-duper. He pointed to the formation he had drawn and said: "You will stand in the most central position later."

Yan He nodded, walked over and stood still.Grandpa began to ask: "Do you still have obsession with the world?"

Yan He shook his head.

"Is there anything you can't let go of?"

Shaking his head.

"Is there anyone who can't let go?"

Yan He paused for two seconds, closed his eyes, and shook his head firmly.

"You have to think about it. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, we can help you if you tell us now."

"No more, you can start."

This was the second time Qi Shan saw his grandfather show his true skills. After Yan He said the beginning, he sat aside and watched with Qingyu in his arms.

He saw his grandfather draw out a mahogany sword, muttering something, the sword pierced through the yellow talisman paper, and flitted across the fire...

Grandpa Dou paused suddenly, didn't he?

Under Qi Shan's steadfast gaze, Grandpa carried the yellow talisman paper over the flames again.Still missing?

Qi Shan didn't know why.Grandpa put down the mahogany sword and touched the beard that no longer existed, "Young man, I'm afraid someone doesn't want you to go."
