Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 693 Rice Wine
Because after the death of He Bing's daughter, the body had been placed in the funeral parlor by the police. The funeral has not yet been held. There was neither paper money nor firecracker confetti in front of the door.

In other words, the He family did not hold a funeral, so there was naturally no trace for Ding Ermiao to speculate.

What's more, Lao Shichu didn't see what Ding Ermiao did, or what he said.Just by walking through the door simply and normally, you will know that this is a haunted house.

Such a result made Lao Shichu both admired and surprised.

Ding Ermiao didn't take it seriously, sniffed and said, "I am a disciple of Maoshan, of course I know."

Lao Shichu was speechless.We are still on the road at this time, so there are some things that are hard to say.

When they arrived at Lao Shichu's home, Ding Ermiao saw that the conditions were really good. It was a small villa in a mountain village, with upstairs and downstairs, and everything in and out.

Lao Shichu's parents are also very polite. Although they are not young, they are strong and strong.After getting acquainted, the old couple immediately started to have lunch. Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan wanted to help, but the old couple refused.

"Why don't you see your wife and children?" Ding Ermiao asked Lao Shichu.

"They are all in the city, and I am the only one who came back." Lao Shichu said,

Ding Ermiao nodded and asked: "When do you plan to return to the city? When things here are over, I will go to Fuzhou City."

"Tomorrow afternoon, but I can also wait for you for a day and leave the day after tomorrow. I drove back and just happened to take you with me."

"Thank you. I'll try my best to get everything done tonight." Ding Ermiao said, "If you have nothing to do now, why don't you take me with you to visit He's house?"

"It's broad daylight. Let's go to He's house. Can you tell anything?" Lao Shichu asked.

Ding Ermiao smiled and said, "Whether you can see anything will only be known after you look at it."

Lao Shichu nodded and said: "I'll take you with me. Don't tell me that you are a disciple of Maoshan. I'm not going as a policeman. I'm just visiting casually... By the way, I have to think of an excuse. Think of an excuse." What’s a good excuse?”

Why can't you tell me directly after going to He's house?There is still something difficult here.

Everyone in the village knew that the He family was haunted, but the head of the He family, He Bing, refused to admit it.Since the head of the family doesn't admit it, Lao Shichu, as a junior in the village, can't say, "I hired a mage to catch ghosts for your family."

After thinking for a long time, Lao Shichu couldn't think of a suitable excuse.

In the end, it was the old man of Lao Shichu's family who had his own opinion and said: "Bring two bottles of the rice wine I brewed, and tell me that I asked you to send it over to give it to your cousin to try."

"Good idea!" Lao Shichu slapped his head, picked up two bottles of rice wine, and took Ding Ermiao out.

Ding Ermiao also made preparations. He took off the small compass on the umbrella handle and put it in his pants pocket.Otherwise, if you come to the door with an umbrella on your back, people will be suspicious.

Arriving at the door of He's house, Lao Shichu raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After knocking for a long time, the door was opened inside, and a man in his 50s with a bright top came out.

Seeing Lao Shichu, the man forced a smile and said, "Shichu, come to my house...what's the matter?"

"It's okay, cousin." Lao Shichu raised the two bottles of rice wine in his hand and said, "My dad brewed rice wine this year. Let me give you two bottles to try."

"Your dad is so polite. Come and sit in the room." He Bing took the rice wine and let Lao Shichu and Ding Ermiao into the room.

However, He Bing's eyes were still looking up and down, looking at this stranger, Ding Ermiao.

"He is my friend in the city, his name is Ding Ermiao, and he came to play with me." Lao Shichu introduced him.

"Hello." Ding Ermiao smiled and nodded.

"Okay, okay. Sit down and I'll pour you tea." He Bing asked Ding Ermiao and Lao Shichu to sit down. He turned around and brought the tea tray and poured three cups of Kung Fu tea.

People in Fujian are very particular about drinking tea. In mountain villages, many people drink Kung Fu tea. The small cups and teapots are very delicate.

Ding Ermiao drank tea while looking at the He family's house.

Architecturally, the house is also very ordinary.There are four bungalows below, with one bedroom separated from the east and west, and the two large rooms in the middle are open and serve as the main room.

The only unsightly thing is that under the middle beam, there is a square column built from the ground to the beam.

Judging from this situation, it seems that the upper beam cannot withstand the heavy pressure of the roof and floor slabs and is in danger of breaking, so a column was built underneath to act as a support.

There's something weird about this house.Ding Ermiao thought to herself, putting her hands in her pants pockets to feel the changes in the compass.There was only a little reaction on the compass, a slight tremor that seemed to be absent.

After three cups of tea, Lao Shichu said after careful consideration: "Cousin He, the matter with He Ting is over. You should relax and take care of yourself."

He Bing's eyes turned red and he said in a low voice: "My family is unfortunate, alas... I don't know what evil I did in my previous life."

Ding Ermiao took this opportunity to take out the compass and glanced at it quickly.Sure enough, the pointer on the compass pointed to the pillar under the beam.

What sin did you do in your previous life?I’m afraid it’s this life!Ding Ermiao sneered in her heart.

After chatting for a few more words, Lao Shichu took Ding Ermiao to leave.He Bing didn't stay either. After they left, he slammed the door again.

Back home, Lao Shichu asked Ding Ermiao, "How are you doing? Did you see anything?"

"What about you? Did you notice anything was wrong?" Ding Ermiao asked.

Lao Shi thought for a while and said, "There is the aroma of sanitary incense in his house, but I noticed that there is no incense in the main room, so where does this aroma come from?"

"The aroma comes from the bedroom at the west end." Ding Ermiao said.

"This is a bit strange." Lao Shichu nodded and said:
"In the twelfth lunar month, many people light incense. But I have never seen anyone lighting incense in the bedroom. Could it be that... He Bing is worshiping his daughter in the west bedroom?"

Ding Ermiao shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

Lao Shichu wanted to say something else, but his father called him to serve food and wine and prepare to eat.So Lao Shichu suppressed the topic and asked Ding Er, Miao Ji Xiaoxiao and the others to sit down.

The food and wine were served on the table in a dazzling array of colors, flavors and aromas.

Ding Ermiao and three others had lived like savages in the mountains for a few days. When they saw the fireworks in the world, they naturally twitched their index fingers and devoured them.

After eating almost, Ding Ermiao took the time to ask the old man of the Lao family, "Grandpa, the He family's house has been built for many years, right?"

The old man of the Lao family counted his fingers and said, "It's been 25 years. It used to be four bungalows. About ten years ago, another floor was added to it, and it became what it is now."

The old man of the Lao family has lived in this small mountain village all his life, so he has a clear grasp of every plant and tree here, even the shortcomings of the Zhang family and the Li family.
