Doling man

When the sun was about to set, Li Chengtian and Cheng Huan drove into Yunshan County.

The county seat is not big, just at a crossroads, the two took a break, asked the direction of Tongbai Village, and continued on the road.

After going through a long tunnel and bypassing several mountains, we finally arrived at the neighboring village of Tongbai Village, Shanghe Village, before dark.The lights in the village were dimmed early, before eight o'clock in the evening, the whole village was already silent, leaving only a big lamp at the entrance of the village and a few yellow dogs lying under the lamp.

The village is not big, there is only one hotel. Li Chengtian parked his car on the side of the road, and together with Cheng Huan, they entered the alley with the signboard of the farmhouse.

In the alley, door to door, reaching to the end, there is a family with two rows of red lanterns, four in each row.There is a small area on the left side of the door, covered with red candle lights.

Cheng Huan glanced at it, and walked towards that family involuntarily.Li Chengtian grabbed him and said, "The hotel is here, where are you going?"

Cheng Huan said: "I want to go to that house to have a look? The lights at the door are not ordinary lights, and they can't be made without six or seventy years of craftsmanship."

"What light?"

Cheng Huan paused word by word, "Lamp to guard the spirit."

He walked over and stood at the door, with the four red lanterns on the left and right above his head glowing faintly.Squat down again and take a closer look at the candlelight on the ground. The candlelight is glowing red. On the wall of the lamp is carved a golden dragon wrapping around a phoenix. On such a small candle wall, it is very clear.

Cheng Huan said: "When the old man returns home, the relatives and family members are afraid that the soul will not find the way home, so they light a lamp and light it for seven to forty-nine hours to guide the way. The living people are afraid that the lamp will go out, and only one hour after another Keep watch over the corpse, point it at the body all night, the better the skill, the clearer the direction you point out, and with this light, the living and the dead can have peace of mind."

Li Chengtian said: "It's rare to see this kind of lamp now. I know that when paying homage to the undead, there are two thick candles, one red and one white, on the left and right of the spirit card, which are also used for guidance."

Cheng Huan stood up, stared at the lantern above his head, and said: "The production of the spirit lantern is complicated. Without decades of old craftsmanship, no matter how much money you spend, you can't make it. Although this lantern is exquisite, it is also expensive. I still give it to you." The dead can use it. Now, the old custom has become a cliché, no one buys it, and naturally no one sells it. I have seen such complicated things in the past 100 years, except for the ghost market. strangeness……"

"What's weird?"

Cheng Huan didn't answer, and he was about to enter the hospital after walking two steps forward, Li Chengtian held him back and said, "It's getting late, we've been driving all day, why don't we wait until tomorrow?"

Cheng Huan frowned, and said: "The price of the spirit lamp is high. Firstly, it is indeed rare because of the complicated craftsmanship. On the other hand, it is because it has a miraculous effect on suppressing the undead. Therefore, this is also the folk willing to pass on the craftsmanship of the spirit lamp from generation to generation. The real reason, in other words, is the place where there are ghost lights..."

Li Chengtian continued: "Naturally there are undead who cannot be saved."

Cheng Huan nodded, and walked straight in towards the open door.

As far as the eye can see, the huge courtyard is pitch black.There are only a few red lanterns hanging on the eaves in front of the house.A hunchbacked man was sitting under a lantern. In front of him was a smaller table with a half-made wake-up lamp. He was wearing a large black hat with the front brim covered, making it impossible to see clearly. .

With a little light above his head, he lay on the outer wall of the spirit lamp, and carefully traced it bit by bit. Although he couldn't see the expression, but with this careful movement, he could probably imagine the person's focused state of mind.

The room behind the hunchbacked man was dark, except for the faint yellow light from the window on the left corner, illuminated by the red lantern, it was a bit unclear whether it was the light inside the house or the light outside.

Li Chengtian took a few steps quickly, pulling Cheng Huan behind him, and the two of them approached the man together.

The man didn't stop his movements, as if he didn't see the person coming in, he was still fiddling with the engraving pen in his hand seriously.

Li Chengtian said, "Hello."

The man didn't seem to hear him, Cheng Huan went around behind him, raised his voice and said, "Hello?"

Seeing that he didn't respond, he pointed at Li Chengtian's ear and waved his hand again.

Li Chengtian frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and patted the man's shoulder.

The man looked up and suddenly saw two strangers, and was so frightened that he sat on the ground.When he fell down, he revealed the lower half of his bearded face, which matched the hat on his head, but he still couldn't see his face clearly.It seems that the hunchbacked man looks the same whether he lifts his head up or not. The upper and lower parts are covered separately from the nose, so you can't see it anyway.

"what!"

The man opened his mouth halfway, and let out a low-pitched roar, which caught his ears, like fingernails rubbing against a blackboard, thin and harsh, extremely unpleasant.Cheng Huan pointed at Li Chengtian and waved his hand.

Li Chengtian quickly helped the hunchbacked man up from the ground, and Cheng Huan walked slowly from behind him to in front of him.

The hunchbacked man sat back in the chair, yelled "Ai Ai" twice, cracked an ugly smile, glanced away, glanced at Cheng Huan, and suddenly barked his teeth and claws, "Ah! Ah!" Sit on the ground.

Cheng Huan wanted to reach out to help him, but the man waved his hands and shouted strangely, Li Chengtian glanced at Cheng Huan, Cheng Huan withdrew his hand, and the man became quieter, Li Chengtian stretched out his hand to help him onto the chair.

The man took out a small sharp knife, took out a small handful of pencils from the box, and sharpened the pencil by the lamp. After the tip of the pen was slightly sharpened, he continued to trace along the lamp wall.

Cheng Huan frowned, sniffed, and smelled a faint fragrance.He turned his head to look at Li Chengtian, Li Chengtian pointed at Cheng Huan's head, and continued to wave his hand.

Cheng Huan's face was a bit ugly, this hunchbacked man couldn't hear, couldn't speak, according to Li Chengtian's speculation, he still had some brain problems, and to be honest, at this level of reasoning, he almost wanted to kick Li Chengtian out.

Cheng Huan rolled his eyes at him, jumped over the man and walked towards the house. He searched carefully from left to right, walked to the innermost room, and faintly saw a secret light coming from the crack in the window.

strangeness?There was so much movement outside just now, if there were people in this room, why didn't they come out when they heard the sound?unless……

He went down the steps, walked to Li Chengtian's side, and shook his head.

Li Chengtian held Cheng Huan's hand, showed a warm smile, motioned him to relax, and said, "Let's go, go back early and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Cheng Huan nodded, and walked towards the gate with Li Chengtian. Before leaving, he took one last look at the hunchbacked man, and vaguely saw the hunchbacked man looking up at him.

The people in the room heard the knock of the door, and then walked out of the room. He patted the hunchbacked man on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, you should also rest."

"Ah!"

The hunchbacked man nodded, then stood up, and the two entered the room together.

Cheng Huan and Li Chengtian walked to the entrance of the alley, which was the small courtyard of the farmhouse. They were not separated by a few steps, as if they were in two worlds.Upon entering the room, Li Chengtian asked, "Did you find anything that made you suspicious?"

Cheng Huan shook his head and said, "No, that hunchbacked man just now was too strange. I have a feeling that he doesn't look like a living person."

Li Chengtian recalled in detail: "The breath is right, don't think too much, if the evil spirit has the ability to enter the real body, it will have to find a similar body. Stay in such a place, be a lamp and guard yourself? "

Cheng Huan said: "There was clearly someone in that room, but he didn't come out despite the loud noise."

Li Chengtian walked over, put his hands on Cheng Huan's shoulders, sat down on the side of the bed and said, "My captain Cheng, we are not out to work, and we are hundreds of kilometers away from Jingcheng. Why don't you forget about investigating cases during the day and keeping spirits at night, and get a good night's sleep, after all..." He put his lips next to Cheng Huan's ear, and paused word by word, "This is the first time we've opened| house."

Cheng Huan raised his hand in the face and slapped him, but Li Chengtian moved away quickly and said, "I have been guarding against you for a long time..."

Before he finished speaking, he jumped up on the spot covering his face: "It's late at night, don't let you sleep! You murdered your husband!" Just before he spoke, Li Chengtian hit Cheng Huan firmly with the corner of his eye With an elbow, this club directly jumped onto the bed, muttering, "It seems that I have to give you something to look good today, otherwise you don't know who is in charge of this family! Oops..." He was anxious to hide, where is he? Knowing that his left foot tripped over his right foot, he fell flat on the bed.

Cheng Huan smiled, and said with disgust on his face: "In the wilderness, you still have other thoughts on your mind. If you don't clean up, who are you going to deal with?"

Li Chengtian covered the back of his head, grinning his teeth and said, "I'm indeed not as skilled as you, but you don't have to keep doing black hands! You beat me like you beat a dog."

Cheng Huan nodded, who would talk nonsense when he could do it?He raised his hand and slapped again, but was grabbed by Li Chengtian.

Li Chengtian smiled "hehe", and said triumphantly, "I just pretended." With a strong hand, he turned over and pulled Cheng Huan directly onto the bed, saying, "You really have no heart."

The corners of Cheng Huan's mouth were slightly curved, his eyes were sharp, and he turned sideways to press Li Chengtian under his body. Their skin |skin|tear|sharpened, even through the clothes, Li Chengtian could still feel Cheng Huan's thin and strong |muscle|line| strip.At this moment, his heart|fire|burn|burned and itched.Smelly shamelessly gave up resisting, lay on all fours in big characters, and said, "It's up to you to kill or cut! Come! Hero! Kiss|Me! Don't hesitate!"

Cheng Huan almost wanted to slap him to death, resisted the urge to do it, calmed down a little, and asked: "If I recall all the memories from the past... I mean, just like Song Qing, wouldn't it be the same?" Will it be overrun?"

Li Chengtian looked into Cheng Huan's eyes without moving, then suddenly stretched out his hand, pressed him hard to his chest, hugged him firmly and said, "Why is it so easy to let you go?"

He never knew that Li Chengtian's hands were so strong that his bones ached.But Cheng Huan didn't feel uncomfortable at all, he leaned his head on Li Chengtian's chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, and said, "Is it okay if you don't leave?"

Li Chengtian patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's up to you."

"What about you? What do you need to pay?"

Li Chengtian was silent, he didn't know how to answer for a moment, he suddenly felt his hands tighten, and when he looked up again, his right hand was already handcuffed to the railing at the head of the bed, Cheng Huan sat up, With a little interest, he looked Li Chengtian up and down.

The two quarreled for a while, Li Chengtian was already disheveled, and now he was handcuffed again, with a bewildered expression on his face, which looked extraordinarily funny.Li Chengtian finally revealed his hooliganism, continued to stand up, and said, "Uncle Cheng, do whatever you want, remember to be gentle, I have to drive tomorrow."

Cheng Huan rubbed his chin, turned off the headlights, leaving only a small lamp by the bed, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

At this moment, the sound of water in the bathroom completely disrupted the rhythm of Li Chengtian's heart.From ancient times to the present, he has been up and down, before and after. From a certain point of view, he can be regarded as a pussy. He is really not prepared for this barren mountain to be opened.Originally thought that going out to the courtyard could promote the relationship, at least it could make a qualitative leap on the basis of the relationship between two people, but it turned out that stealing a chicken would not save money, and the old tree would bloom. He was really afraid that he would not be able to bear it when he was old, no, Now is not the time to show off, he has to think of a countermeasure.

He shook the handcuffs, cursing inwardly, "I'm X!", these handcuffs are specially made by the soul-savers, and they are generally locked up so that nine out of ten of them are evil spirits. With this material, he might consider cutting off his hands directly.

Turning up and down, Li Chengtian gave up his heart, closed his eyes, his brain was running fast, thinking about how to drive tomorrow.

Cheng Huan wiped his hair with a towel, and as soon as he stepped out of the bathroom door, he heard thunderous snoring on the bed.

"Hoo... oh... ph..."

The little one looks pretty similar.

"call……"

Li Chengtian quietly glanced at Cheng Huan, who was wrapped in a bathrobe with most of his chest exposed, from the corner of his eyes, shouted "Oh my God", and then began to seriously hypnotize himself, I can't see... can't see...

Cheng Huan curled the corner of his mouth, snickered, pulled back a corner of the quilt, got into bed, and fell asleep by himself.
