There was a "pop!" sound. I looked down and found that the incense stick inserted in the incense burner was disconnected in the middle!
I was stunned at first, then I quickly came forward and gently held the broken part of the incense offering with my hands to prevent it from breaking directly.
Huangshan also noticed the abnormality immediately. He came to me in a hurry and seemed a little at a loss.
"What...what's going on?"
"Don't panic. I probably bumped into Mrs. Huang before, so she was a little unhappy. I have incense in my backpack, and a bag made of red cloth. Please help me take it out."
Because my hand was still holding the broken incense in the incense burner, I could only let him do it for me.
After Huangshan rummaged in my backpack for a while, he carefully took out an incense stick and a red cloth bag. I slowly pulled out the broken incense stick from the incense burner, cut off the incense head and stuffed it into the red cloth bag, and then lit a new one.
Incense is inserted into the incense burner,
But the strange thing is that no matter how you insert it, the incense cannot stand and will fall down as soon as you let go.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to say respectfully to the portrait:
"Don't blame Mrs. Huang. I'm just a passerby and won't stay here forever. Please bear with Mrs. Huang..."
After saying that, I tried to insert the incense into the incense burner again, and this time there was no mistake. The green smoke slowly rose and drifted towards the portrait of Huang Santai, and finally it was all sucked into the portrait.
I breathed out gently, and Huang Santai accepted my incense offering, which proved that she accepted me.
I turned around and looked at the dumbfounded Huangshan, took the red cloth bag back from his hand, and said:
"I have to come here tonight. I need to bury the red cloth next to the temple. Let's go to your house first and have a look..."
The Huang family villa is a three-story building. As soon as I entered the villa gate, I felt a little strange. The huge house was not popular at all. Looking around, I saw that the green plants in the house were withered and withered.
Perhaps seeing the doubts in my heart, Huangshan explained with some embarrassment:
"Ever since my son and Ling'er had an accident, I asked everyone in my family to move out, so no one has cleaned this house for a long time. Xiao Lin, don't worry..."
Although he said this, I know it's not that simple...
I casually touched the leaves of a pot of green plants next to me, and they felt cold to the touch, and the leaves fell off and shattered into pieces when I touched them lightly.
I was surprised. Just when I wanted to take a closer look, I accidentally discovered a pot of dazzling red flowers placed in the corner. Looking at this house, this pot of flowers was the most blooming.
I walked over curiously and saw that not only the flowers, but also the soil in the pot were red. The whole pot of flowers exuded a soul-stirring ghostly fragrance, and it was extremely cold. My brows suddenly furrowed.
"Manzhu Shahua...Bana flower!"
"Did you raise this flower yourself?" I turned to Huangshan and asked.
Huang Shan originally wanted to come over and explain to me, but Huang Ling beside him stared at the Bianhua flower with a frightened look on his face, not daring to take a step closer.
In desperation, he had to stand far away and explained:
"My son brought this back more than a month ago..."
I nodded suddenly, without asking any more questions, turned around and followed the stairs directly to the second floor, walked towards the innermost part of the corridor, and finally stopped at the door of a bedroom.
"Xiao Lin is so talented that he can directly calculate that this is my son's room." Huang Shan said in a flattering tone.
I smiled awkwardly. Actually, I didn't calculate this, because although the whole villa was not popular, it didn't have the slightest evil spirit, so there was no way to accurately perceive it.
The reason why I guessed correctly is because before entering the villa, I found that only the innermost window on the second floor was closed and the curtains were drawn, so it was not difficult to judge.
Gently pushing the door open, a musty smell mixed with stench instantly penetrated my nose, and I sniffed unconsciously...
The room was very dark and messy. The most conspicuous thing was a big bed placed near the window. There was a man curled up motionless on the bed. He looked very thin. This should be Huang Shan's son and Huang Ling's father.
Huang Tao!
I walked slowly to the bed, and the smell became even stronger. When I looked down, I was stunned.
Huang Tao's hair was disheveled, his eyes were black, and his cheeks were sunken. He looked like a mummy, completely devoid of the appearance of a living person.
I gently put my hand in front of his nose and felt it for a moment, then whispered:
"More air in, less air out, the end is coming..."
"ah?!"
Huangshan was shocked when he heard this.
"Xiao Lin, are you kidding me?!"
"Don't worry, let me ask if Huang Tao has any bad habits? I mean when it comes to women..."
Because Huang Ling was there, what I said was very cryptic, but Huangshan, as a man, understood it clearly. He hurriedly shook his head in denial.
"Absolutely not. Although our Huang family is well-off, Xiaotao has always been very responsible. He has never been involved in pornography, gambling or drugs..."
Just as he was talking, I accidentally saw Ling'er hiding at the door. She had been staring at the wardrobe opposite the bed, her eyes were round and her expression was unnatural.
I suddenly realized something, so I walked to the closet and slowly opened the cabinet. I saw that there was no clothes in the cabinet, but there was a ceramic doll...
This ceramic doll is very delicate and lifelike. It is draped in a red kimono, its shoulders are slightly exposed, its eyebrows are very thin, its eyes are narrowed into slits, and its cherry mouth is slightly grinned. It looks ugly but a bit weird.
…
I couldn't help but look at it a few more times. I thought it was ugly at first, but I don't know why the more I looked at it, the more beautiful it became. The more I looked at it, the more fascinated I became. Gradually, I had the urge to take the ceramic doll away...
"Junior! What are you looking at?!"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in my ears, and I suddenly came back to my senses, only to realize that I was already breaking out in a cold sweat!
I hurriedly looked for the sound and looked at the door, but except for Ling'er standing there, there was no one at the door.
But the voice just now clearly belonged to an old lady! And she called me junior...
My heart tightened, and I thought of something in an instant, so I looked at Ling'er again. As a result, this look immediately made all the hair on my body stand on end...
I saw Ling'er staring at me with a gloomy look...but I saw another face on her face. That face was looming, overlapping with Ling'er's own face. It was the face of an old lady.
