Mysterious country

Chapter 51 Infighting Resolved
One thing I have to admit is that Boss Chen's house is really big, and the internal structure presents a U-shape, giving Xia Qi a feeling of entering a courtyard.

But the emotion is the emotion, what really attracted his attention was the coffin placed in the center of the courtyard, and the rainwater fell on it and made the sound of "popping".

"Did someone die in the family?"

Leng Yue obviously also saw the coffin, but he didn't say it clearly, but asked Chen Boss tentatively.

"No...not...yes, someone in the family is indeed gone."

Boss Chen seemed a little hesitant in his answer to this question.It feels like they don't want to admit it, but they have to admit it.

After hearing this, Xia Qi probably guessed Boss Chen's worry when he turned his eyes, and then heard him interjected seemingly casually:

"We respect the local customs, but when someone dies in the local area, do you put the coffin in the open air?"

"The weather has been abnormal recently. It rains every day, and there is no place to put them in the house, so they can only be placed outside. We have a saying here that the deceased must rest at home for 7 days before being buried."

Boss Chen was very worried at this moment. If it wasn't too late, he would not insist on letting Xia Qi and Leng Yue live in. After all, there is still a coffin in his house, not to mention that the dead people committed suicide .

Of course, what he was most afraid of being found out was actually the fact that he bought Xiaoli from a trafficker with money.

Fortunately, Xia Qi and Leng Yue didn't ask any more questions afterwards, as they seemed not interested in his family's affairs.

"It was announced three or four years ago that electricity would be connected here, but it has never been connected, so the village still relies on oil lamps and candles, and few houses have flashlights."

Boss Chen lit a candle while explaining, and fixed it on the table in the living room. Although it wasn't very bright, it wouldn't make the room dark again.

"The quilt and pillow are all in the cabinet. It has been raining recently and I haven't taken it out to dry, so it will be somewhat damp."

Due to the "status" of Leng Yue and Xia Qi, Boss Chen seemed to be very caring.

"It's nice here, we're not that hypocritical."

After finishing speaking, Leng Yue deliberately glanced at the honor watch in her hand, and then said tactfully:

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest quickly. It's embarrassing enough for us to disturb you so late. We'll talk about it tomorrow. We're a little tired from the journey."

Although Leng Yue said it tactfully, how could Boss Chen fail to understand what he meant, so he nodded knowingly and said:
"Well, you guys go to bed early, and I'll go back to sleep too, let's talk about tomorrow if there is anything..."

After reminding them of the location of the toilet, Mr. Chen went back to the room where he was.

The rain was still falling.

After closing the door, Xia Qi's face sank in an instant, and under the candlelight, it looked a bit colder. He said to Leng Yue who was sitting at the table:
"Give me a reasonable explanation!"

After finishing speaking coldly, Xia Qi also sat down on the chair.

Although his tone was very serious, Leng Yue didn't care about him, but explained in a calm tone:

"It's a lost ghost, so when we see it, we must help it fulfill its wish, otherwise it will take revenge on us."

"Lost ghost? Please speak clearly."

Seeing that Xia Qi didn't understand very well, Leng Yue touched her forehead and explained again:
"To put it bluntly, that ghost couldn't find its way home for some reason, so it wanted us to help it. If we chose to refuse, it would vent its grievances on us and kill us.

You should be familiar with the first seven soul nights, right?It is said that on the seventh day after death, people will come back to see important people for the last time.Although the ghost will come back on the seventh day after death, it is not to meet the people who are important to it, but to take revenge on the people it hates.

To put it more clearly, it came back to kill! "

Speaking of this, Leng Yue couldn't help but look up at Xia Qi who was in a daze, and seeing that he already understood the reason, she continued:

"I asked myself that I didn't have the confidence to get rid of it, so I didn't shoot it just now. I hope you can understand this."

Hearing Leng Yue's explanation, Xia Qi was somewhat relieved, but he still replied with a cold face:
"No matter how good your explanation is, you can't make up for the fact that you tricked me into carrying ghosts, which makes me sweat in cold sweat just thinking about it now!
But I'm not such a stingy person, let's not take it as an example, this matter just passed. "

Xia Qi naturally knew why Leng Yue didn't tell him that the woman was a ghost in advance, because in that case he would definitely not be able to walk this way with her on his back, but no matter what, he was not Leng Yue, so he had to remember that woman was a ghost. Bitch money.

After resolving the possible internal conflicts, the two discussed the next matters together.

Although Xia Qi doesn't know much about ghosts, he has a certain talent in making plans and doing small analysis.

According to his guess, the female ghost is probably the dead relative of Boss Chen, so as long as the investigation is carried out along this point, it will not be difficult to find out the cause of the woman's death, as well as the relationship with Boss Chen's family and even the whole Hulu Village. disputes.

As the first suspect in this incident, Boss Chen is undoubtedly difficult to ask the truth from his mouth at the beginning, so it is reasonable to start with other villagers, and then use the evidence to press Boss Chen for the truth.

After all, only by figuring out the ins and outs of this incident, the cause and effect, can it be possible to find a way to stop the female ghost and find a solution to the incident.

Of course, this is just one of the solutions, which can be regarded as "Wen Dou".As for the second solution, it is "fighting", to see if Leng Slut can single out the ghost and kill the female ghost directly.

It's just that he didn't have much expectation, because Leng Yue said before that he didn't have much confidence, otherwise, when he met the female ghost at the edge of the village, he would have already attacked her.

So Leng Yue can only be a bodyguard at best, not a thug.

After listening to Xia Qi's analysis, Leng Yue later gave her affirmation:

"If we can find a way to resolve its grievances, there is still a way to get rid of it easily, but if we can't find a way to resolve it, we can only fight head-on, but that will be difficult."

"There is no word "difficult" in the dictionary of genius. As long as you are my bodyguard and protect me properly, I will definitely be able to find a way to resolve its grievances."

Xia Qi's promise is full of confidence, not that he is really sure, but that he must believe that he is sure.

After deciding on the direction to solve the incident, Xia Qi fell asleep on the bed without even taking off his shoes.

The faintly flickering candle was blown out at some point, and the room was pitch black, with only the sound of the pattering rain ringing in my ears.

"Hey...wake up..."

"Wake up quickly..."

Xia Tian Qi was sleeping soundly, and felt that his body was being pushed and shaken non-stop, and his ears were full of Leng Yue's mean voice.

Opening his eyes, Xia Qi asked a little confusedly:
"What's wrong? Don't tell me you're afraid to go out and pee."

"No, it's the coffin that's moving."

Hearing this, Xia Qi sat up energetically as if someone had poured cold water all over his body.
