She chuckled, then changed the topic and lowered her voice and said: "That old guy named Hu has been running into your store these days, and he has no good intentions. You should be careful about him, he can
Not a good thing."
"You mean the landlord?"
"Yes, that old man is very disgusting and morally corrupt. Every time I see him, I have the urge to hit him with a hammer."
I said you also rented a house from an old man. Why do you hate him so much? Has he harassed you?
The eldest sister shook her head: "That's not true. You really don't know? Let me tell you, do you know how his son died?"
"This old guy had an affair with his daughter-in-law and pissed his son off to death. Then his daughter-in-law also died inexplicably. The whole family was dead except for him."
"Ah? Real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. What's even more disgusting is that after he cremated his son, he sent him to the cemetery, but his daughter-in-law's body was kept in his house. This old guy may have necrophilia."
"One time I forgot my keys, so I went directly to the second floor to ask for them. As soon as I opened the door, I saw... I saw him holding the body of his daughter-in-law..."
The eldest sister curled her lips.
"It's really perverted, but his daughter-in-law's body didn't decompose for such a long time. Who knows what method the old guy used? Do you think he is perverted? I wanted to call the police several times. He was hiding and insulting the body.
illegal."
"But after all, I rent his house, so it's hard to make the relationship too tense, right? This matter has nothing to do with me, I just can't stand it."
I was a little surprised. I didn't expect the old landlord to be such a person. However, the elder sister's tone was exaggerated, and what she said may not be entirely true. She might be teasing me.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, and I don’t like gossiping behind people’s backs. Just when I was about to find an excuse to run away, she said: "But this old guy has some skills. I heard that he used to be a shady person, giving people
Fortune telling is one of the three giants of Yin."
This made me a little interested.
"The three giants of Yin Xing?"
"Yes, one is named Li, so-called Old Ghost Li, the other is the old landlord, nicknamed Sky Stealing Ghost, and the other is named Zhang...what is his name Zhang..."
"Zhang Sangui?"
"Yes, yes, Zhang Sangui."
I was stunned. The old man’s nickname was Sky Stealing Ghost, and my grandfather was Old Ghost Li, plus Zhang Sangui.
The three of them were once the three giants of Yin Xing? Is it true or false?
I never knew before that my grandfather was also nicknamed Old Ghost Li, let alone that he was one of the three giants of the underworld.
At this moment I realized that my grandfather's identity might not be that simple.
This grimace, this evil curse, and that opera woman on my body, are they really that simple?
I'm afraid grandpa has hidden many things from me.
I remembered what my grandma said. She said that your grandfather hid a lot of things for your own good. Some truths have to be found by yourself.
Seeing that I was dazed, the eldest sister waved her delicate hand in front of me, and I came back to my senses. Then the eldest sister started chattering about the landlord again.
I quickly found an excuse to go back to my store.
I don't really believe what this eldest sister said. I think she is biased against the landlord.
But what I didn't expect was that in the evening, the landlord, old man Hu, came back with his arms around a young and enchanting woman.
The two of them had their arms around each other and were flirting like no one else was around. I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped.
The woman looked to be in her 30s. She was wearing a tight red skirt. She was quite pretty, but she was wearing heavy makeup and looked tacky.
Old Man Hu shouted like a "darling", hugged the woman and walked into the house where he lived in the backyard.
I thought to myself that the peach blossom tattoo I gave him was so overbearing? How could this old guy hook up with a woman so quickly?
However, looking at that woman's heavily made-up look, she didn't look like a serious person.
The lady from the massage parlor nearby ran out to watch the fun again, stared at the landlord and the woman's disappearing figures, and curled her lips: "Oh, it's really disgusting for an old cow to eat young grass."
I feel bad and regret giving Lao Hutou a tattoo, but it's too late to say anything now.
I felt depressed and there were not many customers, so I closed the door of the tattoo shop early and went to bed.
As a result, after I fell asleep, I had another dream. I dreamed about the scene when we went to explore the haunted house. Especially when we walked to the sixth floor, there was a white light. In the white light, there was a stage, with more than a dozen actors taking turns performing, and suddenly a group of actors came out.
The vicious villagers killed the dozen actors.
Then I heard the sound of opera singing, and a female actor wearing a blue-gray costume and facial makeup appeared in front of me, swinging her sleeves and singing sadly.
But I just can't see her face clearly.
Finally, her sleeve hit my face, and I woke up.
I was in shock and looked at my watch. It was not yet twelve o'clock.
It's over, it's over. Is it true that as Lu Ming said, I have also started to have nightmares? I won't die one after another like the two senior students, right?
I got up and washed my face, and my mood felt better.
But thinking about the female actor who appeared in the dream, could it be the same female actor who was half-eaten in the cave?
Feeling uneasy, I picked up my phone and called Lu Ming.
"Sorry, brother, to bother you so late."
Lu Ming seemed to have fallen asleep when I woke him up, his voice still lazily.
"I mainly want to ask you, how was it after I gave you a tattoo last time?"
"Brother Yang, that tattoo of yours really works. I haven't had any nightmares in the past two days. I slept well and my body feels lighter. Also, the actor's facial makeup on my arm has disappeared."
After hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhang Sangui was not exaggerating. The soul-piercing effect was indeed very overbearing.
But thinking about my situation, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He stopped having nightmares, but I started having nightmares.
But I didn't tell Lu Ming about the nightmare, for fear of scaring him.
"By the way, Lu Ming, you said before that the area where our school is located used to be a small village?"
"Yes, for a long time, probably during the Republic of China, there was a small village there called Shangyuan Village."
"What's going on with that stage in the village?"
"The stage was built by the villagers of Shangyuan Village. It seems that they invited a theater troupe to sing a big opera, so they built a stage, but..."
Lu Ming hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Then the villagers and the theater troupe got into conflicts and started fighting for some unknown reason. Then more than a dozen actors in the theater troupe were killed by the villagers. It was a brutal killing.
It’s so miserable.”
"Later on, the villagers in the village also suddenly disappeared. No one was seen alive, no corpses were found dead. It was an old evil."
"That stage, because more than a dozen actors were killed on it, and blood flowed everywhere, so the Yin energy in that place has always been strong, and it is the most evil place."
I listened quietly.
"Any more?" I asked.
"Brother Yang, that's all I know. After all, this matter has been in the past for many years and has been tightly sealed. It took a lot of effort for me to find out."
"Lu Ming, can you help me find out more about the actors and the stage? The more detailed the better," I said.
"Well, good. If you want to know more details, I guess you have to go find the retired old principal. But I heard that he was taken away by his son to recuperate and is not in this city."
"By the way, there is also the old janitor of our school who is over 70 years old. He should know the truth. I will go find him and see if I can ask him anything."
When he said this, I felt relieved.
Lu Ming sensed something was wrong in my tone and asked, "Brother Yang, are you okay? Are you starting to have nightmares too?"
I said: "It's not serious yet, but I think this matter must be clarified."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of this. By the way, your tattoo is so effective, I'm going to let Xiaorou get one too, but she has something to go back to her hometown for the past two days. I will take her to get it when she comes back.
