After sending off Qin Laoer and his wife, Qin Sansao did not stay on the first floor. After making sure that the store doors were closed, she went straight to the second floor.
Qin Laosan's real mourning hall is on the second floor.
The first floor is just a front.
The mourning hall still looked the same as it did last night, with the lantern stand falling apart and the glass of the portrait broken.
Sister-in-law Qin's face looked very ugly.
She opened the dark curtain.
The coffin was still there, but the blood on the edge of the coffin had dried. Qin Laosan was lying there. Although the talisman was still wrapped around his body, the color of his exposed skin had changed.
Even his face showed signs of turning darker.
You can still faintly smell the smell when you get closer.
Sister-in-law Qin stood in front of the coffin and looked at the chest of the body. There was only one missing piece in the string of talismans.
She pursed her lips tightly, with anger in her eyes.
After a long time, she leaned down, straightened Qin Laosan's collar, and murmured, "It's those two boys. Don't worry, old man, I won't let you die like this."
She stood up, looked at Qin Laosan for a long time, then turned and walked to the lantern.
The lantern was carefully gathered together, firmly secured, and stood against the wall. The frame was barely able to hold up.
Sister-in-law Qin didn't care so much anymore and fished out a bloody thing from the bag she was carrying with her bare hands, flattened the bag and placed it on top.
It's a sheep's heart.
The blood on it was still bright red and very fresh.
Qin Sansao did not dare to touch the lantern. After placing the sheep's heart respectfully, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the lantern.
The lantern did not respond.
Let Qin Sansao kowtow as she pleases.
Finally, Qin Sansao put her head on the ground and began to cry, beating the ground while crying.
Then there was a crash and the lantern stand fell apart again.
Sister-in-law Qin suddenly raised her head and saw that the people behind the scenes were going crazy. She rushed forward and hurriedly set up the lantern. But the lantern was scattered so much that it was impossible to put it back together.
This time, Sister-in-law Qin's face was not only sad, but also frightened, with the latter being the predominant one. She couldn't help but shed tears, and then she kept kowtowing.
It's like begging for mercy.
Suddenly there was a creaking sound, and Sister-in-law Qin suddenly stopped crying.
The sound came from the coffin.
Qin Sansao was so excited that fear crawled up her spine like insects.
But she quickly realized what she was doing and almost rolled over to the coffin. When she looked inside, she screamed in horror.
His body stumbled and he fell to the ground.
Qin Laosan was seen slowly sitting up from the coffin, closing his eyes, but his mouth was moving. The sound came from his mouth, a crunching sound of teeth.
It's like a fake corpse.
Sit there upright.
Qin Sansao couldn't help but tremble all over, staring at Qin Laosan.
Gradually, Qin Laosan's face seemed to change. Something was floating on his face, like mist and yarn, until it was clearly visible.
It was a shadow, a dark mass with only a faint red light.
It moved on Qin Laosan's face, and the creaking sound seemed to express something.
The panic in Qin San's heart was like wild grass. She couldn't move even if she wanted to, so she watched Qin Laosan's mouth open and close.
But the immobility was only temporary, and soon she would be able to move her arms and legs.
After realizing that she could move, she quickly kowtowed louder this time.
When the shadow moved on Qin Laosan's face, it seemed to be stuck with glue and squirmed.
Looking at the sheep's heart on the bag, blood gurgled out from it.
The blood flowed more and more, forming a blood puddle on the ground, with a shadowy figure reflected in it.
Sister-in-law Qin crawled forward tremblingly. After seeing the figure clearly, she even started to grit her teeth, and the expression on her face changed.
The haze crept into his eyes, glowing with a vicious light.
She knelt on the ground and said in a gloomy tone, "I understand, I know what to do."
After he finished speaking, he saw that the pool of blood shrank back suddenly, as if it had dried up quickly. Looking at the sheep heart, it was still fresh just now, but at this moment it turned black and hard, as if it had been dried for a long time.
.
Looking at Qin Laosan again, he fell back into the coffin.
The shadow crawling on his face gradually became thinner, still as foggy and veily as at the beginning, and finally disappeared.
…
None of the four of them ate in the inn today. Lao Guan just made a simple meal to deal with it, and then went out without knowing what he was doing.
Also going out was Qu Ya.
Fang Ting said that Qu Ya wanted to eat cured pork ribs hot pot, so she found a restaurant with a high rating on Dianping.com and took a taxi to eat there.
When she said this, she was sitting on a chair in the coffee shop on the first floor, where Cheng Zhan usually sat.
When Si Ye dragged Cheng Zhan downstairs, he happened to see this scene.
Originally, Si Ye planned to use the name of his savior to blackmail Cheng Zhan for a meal and call Laoguan, Fang Ting and the others, but he didn't want Fang Ting to be the only one there.
Fang Ting said she wasn't hungry and didn't want to go out to eat, which was why she didn't follow Qu Ya to the restaurant.
Si Ye remembered what Qu Ya had said before, and simply stopped eating. He took a box of instant noodles from the shelf and asked Cheng Zhan if he wanted it. Cheng Zhan shook his head.
Si Ye chuckled and said, "Please help me pay. I didn't bring my mobile phone with me."
I really planned to kill him so hard that I didn’t even bring a mobile phone with me.
Five minutes ago, Si Ye took his mobile phone with a smile, opened WeChat, and decisively and forcefully added a friend.
When he came downstairs five minutes later, he said he didn't bring his cell phone?
Cheng Zhan had never seen such a familiar person, and he was really too lazy to talk to him. He walked up and took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code and paid.
When she got the instant noodles, she didn't rush to make them. She followed Fang Ting's line of sight and looked out——
Qin Laosan Fur Shop.
Cheng Zhan chose the chair next to him, took a book from the bookshelf behind him, and read there quietly.
Si Ye was curious and asked Fang Ting what she was looking at.
Fang Ting withdrew her gaze and said in an understatement, "Quya went in before the fur shop closed. I don't know what she bought."
She entered the fur shop and stayed there for about five or six minutes before coming out. She looked carefully and saw that the shop was closed immediately after Qu Ya left.
Not before closing time.
Then he frowned and said, "There was a dispute this morning. Logically speaking, Qu Ya will not patronize that store again."
Si Ye asked her how Qu Ya was doing after coming out of the store.
Fang Ting said everything was normal, just like visiting other stores.
Cheng Zhan turned over a page of the book and said calmly, "Taking into account the entire ancient city, Qin Laosan's handmade knives are the best."
"Why did she buy a knife?" Fang Ting was confused.
Neither Si Ye nor Cheng Zhan could answer this question.
"What's wrong with you two?" Si Ye asked bluntly.
Fang Ting was silent for a long time, then suddenly her eyes fell on Cheng Zhan and asked him, "You said before that I can come to you at any time when I feel bad, right?"
Cheng Zhan looked away from the book and looked at Fang Ting, "Yes."
After hearing this, Fang Ting fell silent again, this time for a bit longer.
During this period, Cheng Zhan didn't push her, he just kept waiting for her to speak.
"It's not me." After a long time, Fang Ting said.
Si Ye was puzzled, huh?
Fang Ting frowned slightly, "The person with the problem is not me, but Qu Ya. I think something is getting wrong with her."
These words...
Si Ye and Cheng Zhan looked at each other.
Fang Ting held her hands together and seemed to be thinking about what to say next. After thinking for a while, she asked Cheng Zhan, "If Qu Ya really has a problem, you will help her, right?"
"I will help her solve the problem." Cheng Zhan said very specifically.
Si Ye raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Zhan, "Aren't you afraid that she just has a broken love problem? Then how can you help solve it? Will you commit yourself to her?"
After saying this, the corners of Fang Ting's mouth twitched.
Cheng Zhan met his words steadily, "I don't think anyone who hears me say that will think it's an ordinary problem."
"actually……"
Fang Ting spoke slowly and sighed, "Qu Ya did come to Shangri-La because of emotional problems. I said before that her project was stressful, which was just an excuse."
For fear that they might misunderstand, she immediately said, "But Qu Ya did have other problems after she came here. I mean she behaved strangely."
Si Ye asked her to talk about it.
Fang Ting took a deep breath, "I didn't feel anything when I first came to the inn. I really felt something was wrong with her only after I came back."
That is, she came back after "disappearing".
Qu Ya fell in love with a man, not a boy. When she told Fang Ting about it, she used the word "man".
As for who the other party is and what he does, Fang Ting has no idea.
Qu Ya didn't want to talk about her life or death, and Fang Ting absolutely respected her friends, so she didn't get to the bottom of it. Until one day Qu Ya said that the man didn't like her.
Fang Ting wanted to stand up for Qu Ya, but Qu Ya was very sad and said why should she be humble.
So, when she learned that Qu Ya wanted to come to Shangri-La to relax, Fang Ting booked a flight to accompany her without a second thought.
The problem came that night when I was playing the game.
Qu Ya had been drinking that night. Although she looked normal while playing games, after the game ended and she returned to the room, Qu Ya cried because of the lingering alcohol.
Although I didn't cry loudly, my tears fell down one by one like beads.
After all, it was late at night. Fang Ting was afraid of causing misunderstandings outside, so she turned off the light and whispered to comfort Qu Ya.
Qu Ya cried and said, "They say there is a master in the temple who can lower his head. I want to find someone who can lower his head. Why is he so heartless?"
I don’t know if the temple she mentioned is Fang Ting of Songzanlin Temple, and I don’t know if Qu Ya came to Shangri-La really to find someone who can bow her head.
She felt a chill run down her spine after Qu Ya said it.
After trying to coax Qu Ya to sleep, Fang Ting couldn't fall asleep and felt suffocated inexplicably.
"At first I really didn't want to go to Songzanlin Temple, but then I thought it would be good to go and pray for her." Fang Ting explained her original intention of leaving this time.
Afterwards, she came back very tired, as if her skin had been peeled off.
"I gave the blessing package to Quya, but Quya looked weird," Fang Ting recalled.
What kind of look he had at that time, I'm afraid Fang Ting will never forget it in her life.
She was smiling, but she was smiling miserably, and there was something in her eyes that Fang Ting had never seen... sinister.
