Strange Story of Strange House

In order for Lin Chi to agree to continue solving the puzzle, Di Deng agreed to a series of conditions, which made Lin Chi feel relieved.Before leaving Yunlou, Lin Chi got Ji Bei's address as he wished, probably because he had empathized with him, and he was a little more concerned about this person he had never met.

After getting the address, Lin Chi was not in a hurry, but went straight to the noodle shop to meet his lover.

At this time, Lou Qi didn't know what happened to Lin Chi. He sat in the backyard quietly reading a book as usual. After Lin Chi entered the door, he walked behind him without saying a word, but he didn't dare to go up to hug him.

Lou Qi turned around, looked at Lin Chi standing behind him with the backlight, and waved to him with a smile: "What are you doing standing there?"

Lin Chi held his hand and walked to him. The tragic deaths in the puzzles and the guilt of not being able to redeem his lover did not have no effect on him.Noticing his trembling, Lou Qi stood up and pulled him towards her: "What's wrong?"

"Lou Qi, I have a lot of things I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start." Lin Chi looked up at Lou Qi who was in a daze, his beautiful eyes were clouded with water.

He had a lot to say, from the life and death during the earthquake, to Lou Qi's "goodbye" when he solved the puzzle, he had mixed feelings.There is no thrilling love between him and the lover in front of him, but only by guarding this person, can the world be peaceful and peaceful. After going through this period, he understands that when some people leave, the world will be barren.

But Lou Qi didn't have that experience, Lin Chi'ai was indeed the person in front of him, he was so sad and sad because of the person in front of him, but how should he tell Lou Qi about all this.

Lin Chi swallowed those words that he didn't know where to start with red eyes, calmed down, and smiled at Lou Qi: "Ms. Lou, let's get married! I know the law does not allow it, but there are not many contracts and so on. There is always something that can be done!"

Lou Qi was taken aback by Lin Chi's sudden marriage proposal, and asked dumbfoundedly, "What happened? Are you upset?"

"I can't lose you..." Lin Chi grabbed Lou Qi's clothes tightly, wanting to cry.

"What happened? Can you tell me?" Lou Qi pushed the man into a chair and sat down, and started the daily comfort work.

"Hmm..." Lin Chi nodded, and began to talk about his experience just now. He had only been away from Lou Qi for an hour, but he had already experienced several ordeals in another time and space.

After hearing this, Lou Qi scratched Lin Chi's nose lightly with his fingers, and sighed softly, "Although we can't get the certificate with you, we already have the contract you want."

"what?"

"Do you remember Rainbow Dash's summoning talisman? That is actually a marriage contract. When the marriage contract is completed, the talisman will become a child. This talisman was given to me by the lamp, because I was destined to have no wife and no children. Shaguxing, so Di Deng made this marriage contract and gave it to me, hoping to make up for my regrets. As long as we love each other, Rainbow will grow up slowly, and eventually become a completely normal person."

Lin Chi's eyes widened. What he had hoped for for a long time actually belonged to him. The amount of information was too much for him to digest for a while.

After a while, Lin Chi became angry belatedly: "How could you keep such an important matter from me!"

Lou Qi didn't make any excuses, he lowered his head and kissed Lin Chi's eyelids lightly, Lin Chi became dumbfounded in an instant, blushing: "Since we're both married, then I'll tolerate you a little bit, and don't hide anything from me next time." me."

"Okay." Lou Qi naturally agreed.

***

A few days later, Lin Chi, who had regained his vitality, planned to visit Ji Bei at the address given by Di Deng. If there was anything he could do, Lin Chi would also like to help this poor man.

Ji Bei now lives with his parents in a residential area in the suburbs of K city, not far from the noodle shop.Along the way, Lin Chi was thinking about what reason he should use to contact Ji Bei.Ji Bei, who has been sleeping for ten years, is out of touch with the reality. At this time, he is most on guard, approaching rashly, I am afraid it will be self-defeating.

Coincidentally, just as Lin Chi was standing downstairs hesitating, Ji Bei suddenly came out from the residential building. He was carrying a supermarket shopping bag and cheered himself up as he walked: "Today's goal is to go shopping in the supermarket alone. !"

Lin Chi laughed out loud, in exchange for Ji Bei's panicked glance, and then hurried away.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Lin Chi patted his head and hurried to catch up, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay..." Ji Bei looked at Lin Chi defensively, "What's the matter?"

"Are you Ji Bei?" Lin Chi looked behind Ji Bei, there stood a handsome young man, his soul was very gloomy, almost exhausted, but his eyes were still very gentle looking at Ji Bei.

"Who are you?" Ji Bei's eyes became more defensive, "Why do you know my name? I don't know you."

Ji Bei looked at the two people in front of him vigilantly. The small man dragged another man with excellent looks to his side with a smile on his face. Nan getting along with the scene.

Having been together for ten years, how could Xi Nan not understand Ji Bei's thoughts, he gently held Ji Bei's clenched hand, but Ji Bei didn't know anything about it.

Since this "encounter" didn't start off well, naturally it was no longer suitable to approach in a roundabout way. Lin Chi simply went straight to the point and made the topic clear: "I'm here for Xi Nan."

"Who are you?" Ji Bei was shocked.When Xi Nan passed away, the relationship between the two of them had not yet been exposed. How could anyone come to him? Not only was Ji Bei shocked, but Xi Nan who heard Lin Chi's words also looked at Lou Lin and the two of them defensively.

Lin Chi looked at the two people who looked defensive in front of him, turned to Lou Qi and said, "Can you let him see Xi Nan? I think it will be better for communication."

"Of course." This trivial matter was easy for Lou Qi, he took a step forward, and lightly brushed Ji Bei's eyes under Xi Nan's guarded gaze.

"Who did you see?" Ji Bei blinked, with a blank expression on his face, "What are you guys talking about?"

"Turn around and you'll know." Following the direction Lin Chi pointed, Ji Bei turned around and saw the young man with a gentle smile behind him. Tears instantly overflowed his eyes and wet his pale face.

"...Xi Nan." Ji Bei tremblingly called out the name that he thought about day and night, "How could you... how could you..."

"I've always been with you." Xi Nan stretched out his hand to touch Ji Bei's temples, and ran his fingers through Ji Bei's black hair.Ji Bei stretched out his hand to grab it, but it was in vain. He was taken aback, and turned to look at Lin Chi.

"Humans cannot touch the undead." Lin Chi pursed his lips, "He has been dead for ten years."

Ji Bei's eyes darkened: "Then what's the purpose of your visit?"

"Heard about you by chance, and wanted to come over to see if there is anything I can do to help."

"...We want to be together, can you help us?" Probably Lou Qi's act of opening his yin and yang eyes inspired Ji Bei's heart, he hesitated, and said his request.

After Lin Chi finished listening, Tong Louqi whispered for a while, listened to his opinion, then turned his head and said to Ji Bei: "Death cannot be brought back to life, fate is hard to do, if we have to be together, you can only go down to accompany him. "

When Ji Bei heard the words, his shoulders collapsed in an instant: "If I could, I would have gone to accompany him a long time ago. In my life, I have only been like this person, and I like him so much. But my parents have not given up on me for ten years. I finally opened my eyes, and I can’t abandon them so irresponsibly.” Although he decided to live a good life, losing Xi Nan and being out of touch with society for a whole decade made Ji Bei’s life difficult.

Xi Nan also disapproved of Ji Bei giving up his life, Ji Bei was silent for a long time, looked at Xi Nan with a relieved smile: "Actually, this is not bad, at least I can still see him."

Lin Chi had never been able to hide his emotions. He knew that Xi Nan was exhausted, and when he heard Ji Bei say this, he felt even more sad, and his face inevitably showed emotion.Ji Bei had just started to get in touch with reality, and it was the period when he paid the most attention to his words and demeanor. When he saw Lin Chi's face suddenly changed, Ji Bei was startled: "What, what's wrong? What happened?"

Lin Chi glanced at Xi Nan subconsciously, seeing that his eyes were sad, but he didn't stop Lin Chi from continuing, so Lin Chi gritted his teeth and told Ji Bei the truth: "He is about to disappear."

"What, what?!" Ji Bei's eyes burst into fear instantly, the world was so cruel to him, he finally found his lost lover, but told him that their time was running out.

"What are you talking about, why can't I understand?" Ji Bei refused to accept this fact, but he knew it well, and when he said he didn't understand, tears flowed down his face.

"Xi Nan wants to save you..." Before Lin Chi finished speaking, he saw Xi Nan hugging Ji Bei and shaking his head sadly at him, Lin Chi stopped talking.

Ji Bei was born beautiful, and when he cried, it was even more unbearable. Seeing him crying, Lin Chi turned his head and tugged at the corner of Lou Qi's clothes, with an expression like a child who had done something wrong: "What should I do?"

"It's not that there is no way to save it, it depends on whether you are willing to do it." Lou Qi's aura has always been strong, and the moment he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

"I am willing!"

"If you were asked to use all the life span after you died for your parents in exchange for his continued existence, would you be willing?"

"I am willing! If I didn't want to die for my parents, I would have gone to accompany him a long time ago." Ji Bei replied without hesitation.

Lou Qi turned to Lin Chi and said, "You take them to see Shen Jinghan, your father will help you."

Lin Chi nodded, and the group quickly rushed to Shen's house.After explaining his intention to Shen Jinghan, Shen Jinghan readily agreed, and he signed a contract with Ji Bei to receive Ji Bei's remaining lifespan and at the same time stabilize Xi Nan's soul for him.

After the contract was completed, seeing that Xi Nan was no longer weak, Ji Bei wept with joy. He had experienced great sorrow and joy in his life during this day, and he really needed to cry hard, but after crying enough, Xi Nan's existence was enough for him to cry. Face the life ahead with strength.

Finally, Ji Bei thanked Lin Chi very formally: "Thank you very much, if it weren't for you, I really don't know how to persevere in the days to come." He turned to look at Xi Nan: "I just want to wrong you and wait for me for a few more years."

Xi Nan shook her head gently: "It's okay, I am willing to accompany you."

Lin Chi and Lou Qi stood side by side in the same place, watching the two figures gradually go away, Ji Bei's shoulders were straightened, as if he really had the courage to face the world as he said.

Lin Chi suddenly grabbed Lou Qi's wrist, and when Lou Qi turned his head, he quickly tiptoed to kiss the corner of his lips: "Lou Qi, we are so happy that we can be together without any twists and turns."

Lou Qi chuckled and deepened the kiss.

A few days later, Di Deng urged Lin Chi to start solving the second puzzle.Since the left and right hands were fine, Lin Chi agreed.But this time, he brought Louqi with him, which was one of the series of conditions that Di Deng agreed, that he could have someone to accompany him to solve the riddle.

Before solving the puzzle, Di Deng roughly introduced the background of the puzzle to Lin Chi. During the period of the Republic of China, in a small town in the south called Qingcheng, the Gu family, the richest man in the town, was haunted. The famous celestial master was hired by the Gu family to solve the problem.

Probably the last protest worked. Before the puzzle started, Di Deng told Lin Chi that the puzzle this time is not difficult and the risk factor is very low. The way to solve the puzzle is to find the culprit of the haunting and solve the whole incident.

Lin Chi walked along the bluestone path towards Gu's house, and met a man holding a purple bamboo umbrella, standing quietly by the moat.

Canna stretched its branches and leaves presumptuously on the hem of the robe, which instantly caught Lin Chi's attention. He took a closer look, isn't this person Lou Qi?

Lin Chi rushed up and patted the man on the shoulder, in exchange for a surprised look.Lin Chi's heart skipped a beat, this person is not Lou Qi? !

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and found a way out of the siege in an instant: "Excuse me, may I ask which direction the Gu family is going?"

"That direction, go straight."

"Thank you." Lin Chi thanked him, turned around and walked towards Gu's house. After observing him closely, he found that although this person had the same face as Lou Qi, his temperament was completely different.People are often more likely to notice Lou Qi's heroic spirit and temperament, and ignore his face, but this person in front of him is soft and gentle, but he has brought out the delicacy and charm of his appearance to the extreme.

Lin Chi arrived at the Gu family late and was invited into the living room. Although the master and wife of the Gu family were polite and distant, they couldn't find any mistakes in etiquette. They just repeatedly asked Lin Chi not to say anything to the public, so as not to damage the reputation of Miss Gu's family.In the end, he arranged for Miss Gu's capable maidservant to help Lin Chi.

The big maid is called Han Mei.

The red cotton-padded jacket reflected the flowery face of a girl, sixteen or seventeen years old, even her smile was green: "Mr. Lin, come with me."

"Thank you."

"Is Mr. Lin from Qingcheng?" Han Mei led Lin Chi to meet her family's young lady. She was lively and couldn't hold back her words, and kept talking to Lin Chi along the way.

"No, this is my first time here."

"No wonder, I haven't seen Mr. in the city... Ah! We're here!" Han Mei led Lin Chi through the long corridor and into a delicate courtyard, "This is where our lady lives."

In the yard, there was a well-dressed girl standing, presumably this was Miss Gu's family. Hearing Han Mei's voice, Miss Gu turned around, revealing a face that was very familiar to Lin Chi.

"Miss, this is Mr. Lin, Madam invited me here." Han Mei leaned over to introduce Lin Chi to Gu Qingcheng.

"Hello." Gu Qingcheng bowed slightly and saluted Lin Chi.

"Miss Gu is too polite." Lin Chi looked at the female version of Lou Qi in front of him, and thought of the person he met by the moat just now, so he asked, "Miss Gu... have we met before?"

"I'm sorry, I don't remember meeting Mr.." Gu Qingcheng looked at Lin Chi for a moment, then shook his head.

"It was just on the edge of the moat..." Lin Chi gave some hints, but Miss Gu's face changed instantly: "I'm afraid you misunderstood the person, I haven't been out today."

"I must have admitted my mistake. Miss was abrupt, and I hope you will forgive me." Seeing this, Lin Chi didn't dare to continue asking, and instead asked about the haunting.

"A few days ago, I suddenly saw my late brother, holding a bunch of red flowers, standing under the eaves of the door." Gu Qingcheng's face turned pale, "I am also old, and my father is choosing a son-in-law for me. He came here to marry me, but when he turned around, something happened to his cousins..."

When he left Gu Qingcheng's courtyard, Lin Chi had already understood the whole story, and there was nothing left to say, so he just took advantage of Han Mei to send him to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying.

"Your young master, has he been dead for a long time?"

"The young master fell into the water when he was young and sank into the Qingcheng River. His bones have not been fished out yet." Han Mei's expression was complicated, and Lin Chi thought that the death of this young master might not be that simple.But he has just arrived, Han Mei's trust in him is limited, and she will not tell him easily if she thinks about it.

The Gu family is divided into four gardens, the east garden is where the masters of the Gu family live, the west garden is the guest room, the north garden is the ancestral hall and the living room, and the south garden is the kitchen and where the servants live.Lin Chi was arranged in Xiyuan near Dongyuan. On the way Hanmei sent him back, Lin Chi inadvertently saw a girl in black standing at the end of the corridor in Dongyuan, holding a bunch of blood-red manjusawa in her arms. , looking straight at them.

"That's our young lady's cousin, Miss Xinning." Seeing this, Han Mei lowered her voice.

"Hello." Lin Chi nodded to her, in exchange for a sweet smile.This girl is as beautiful as she is beautiful, but she is like a soulless doll.Han Mei quickened her pace and quickly took Lin Chi out of Xinning's sight.

"Mr. Lin, listen to my advice and stay away from Miss Biao."

***

In the middle of the night, the door was knocked lightly, waking up the man who had always been a light sleeper. He yawned and got up with dissatisfaction: "Who is it?"

He slowly opened the wooden carved door of Gu's house, and with the sound of "creaking", the girl's bright smile came into view.

"Why is it you?" He restrained his anger. After all, the woman who looked like a peach blossom in front of him was still smiling at him gently, which was more real than the spring dream. The original anger dissipated in an instant.

"Brother Gu, do you like flowers?" In her arms, there are a lot of red and white manjusawa. The white is holy, and the red is enchanting. They complement each other, reflecting her charm that is completely different from that of the day.

He turned sideways, the invitation was self-evident.

She happily stepped into his room with her first two feet...

A muffled groan sounded suddenly in the night, but it was covered up by Xia Chan's neighing. The manjusawa scattered in the room changed from white to red, and then from red to black in the pool of the man's blood...

She left the room before the blood spread to her feet, and through the half-closed door, she could see the blood on the ground, as well as the man's stiff expression mixed with joy and horror.

She went out, swaying down the corridor.There was a slight sound behind her, and she knew that the man had come to take care of her again.

They have different goals, but they all lead to the same goal.The men in this mansion will be sent to hell one by one.

She turned her head and smiled at the man, a smile that took her away.Obviously she is so pure and lovely on weekdays, but at night, it's like a different person, making people unable to move their eyes away.

Every frown and smile turns all living beings upside down.

"I'm back." The girl went along the long corridor to the courtyard where she lived. In the courtyard, the twins in black were waiting quietly.

She leaned into the arms of her twin sister and stretched her body.

Time passed by quietly, and inadvertently, the originally petite girl has grown into a mature woman with long black hair and full waist. The plain white cheongsam outlines a graceful figure. Charming, so charming that it takes one's breath away.

No wonder, those men would open the door to her unsuspectingly at night.

No wonder, even death is a pleasure.

It’s just——if only the peony flower is left to die in the ending, then wouldn’t it be better not to meet Qingcheng Seisei.
