Lao Hu stared at me and suddenly stood up after a moment.
"It seems that you are unwilling to give up and still want to take care of this matter. Boy, come with me."
He took me to a house next door.
When I opened the door, a cold feeling hit my face. On the wall opposite the door, two photo frames were hung, only one or two meters apart.
There are black and white photos of two young men in the photo frame, and there is an Eight Immortals table underneath, with tribute incense candles on the table.
At first glance, it looks like a small mourning hall.
I thought to myself that this old man is really a pervert. There is a coffin in that room, and there is a mourning hall in this room. No wonder the house here cannot be rented out.
I looked at the black and white photo in the photo frame on the far left. It was a young man with thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, grinning widely, but because it was black and white, it looked eerie.
I said Lao Hu, who is this?
Lao Hu took a puff of cigarette and squinted at the person in the photo frame.
"His name is Xiao Fei, and he is my apprentice."
"This kid is extremely talented and smart. I fell in love with him at first sight. He is the only apprentice I have in my life. Unfortunately, he died and was not yet 20 years old."
"He, how did he die?"
Lao Hu tilted his head and stared at me, and said leisurely: "This kid is good at everything, but he is too young and energetic. He insisted on investigating the beauty poison and said he wanted to eliminate harm for the people, but the result..."
Lao Hu smiled bitterly, with sadness that could not be concealed on his face.
I suddenly understood why he brought me here? He wanted to tell me that his only apprentice died of beauty poison, and I couldn't interfere in this matter, otherwise I would follow in the footsteps of his apprentice.
"Lao Hu, I understand what you mean, I don't care about the beauty Gu thing anymore," I said.
"That's right." Lao Hu took another leisurely puff of cigarette, looked at Xiao Fei's portrait, and sighed: "It would be great if he didn't die. What a pity."
I slowly turned my head and looked at the photo frame next to me. There was also a young boy in the black and white photo. If I looked closely, he looked somewhat similar to Lao Hu.
"Lao Hu, this portrait is..."
"It's my son."
I was startled, and remembered that the eldest lady in the massage parlor told me that Lao Hutou had a son, but because Lao Hu was getting together with his daughter-in-law, his son was pissed off to death.
Thinking of this, I asked cautiously: "Lao Hu, you won't really get together with your daughter-in-law and make your son angry to death, right?"
The old man glared at me: "Fuck your mother..."
He raised his hand as if to hit me, so I quickly said, "I've heard that too, why are you so anxious?"
His raised hand slowly dropped.
"Did the hot woman in the massage parlor tell you that?" He snorted: "Do you believe what that bitch said? Why didn't she tell me that she owed me rent? She would throw dirty water on me behind my back.
"
He narrowed his eyes and looked at me.
"Boy, stay away from that sexy woman. She is not a serious person. Also, if she asks you to go to her for a massage, you must not go."
I blurted out: "Why?"
"Why? Why do you think that is? That woman is not clean."
"Well, I can see it. If you can make a lot of money just by doing massages, you will inevitably provide some special services. Hey, Lao Hu, I told you not to whisper behind others' backs. This is not good."
The old man actually laughed sinisterly.
"When I say unclean, I don't mean that the woman's work was unclean, but..."
"But what?"
He actually lowered his voice a little.
"Didn't you notice that the way that woman massaged her was wrong? It was a way of massaging a dead person."
"Huh?" I almost jumped up.
"Lao Hu, what do you mean?"
He waved his hand.
"Okay, don't ask too much. Anyway, remember, don't go into that shop for massage, otherwise you will become a dead person."
Then the old man stared at me.
"I see you have a dead look on your face. You haven't already been there, right?"
I quickly waved my hand and patted my chest to ensure that I had never had a massage.
But this old guy circled around me and muttered: "That's not right, your boy's hall is dark and his face looks dead. Are you sure you haven't been there?"
"No, no, absolutely not."
As soon as I finished speaking, Lao Hu grabbed my left arm.
"do not move."
My teeth hurt so much.
"Hey, I said, Lao Hu, what are you doing?"
His eyes suddenly opened up like bells, staring at the inside of my left arm.
"Boy, what is this?"
When I looked down, my head buzzed and I almost exploded.
On the inside of my left arm, there is a red facial makeup, an actor’s facial makeup.
"Oh, I'll go." I couldn't help shouting.
But the old man still held my left arm tightly.
"Seal of the Earth Emperor?" he shouted.
I didn't hear clearly, so I shook his hand away hard.
This actor's facial makeup is exactly the same as the one that appears on Lu Ming.
He said that it was because we had gone on an adventure in a haunted house and got entangled in that dirty thing. The two senior students had the appearance of actor's facial makeup on their bodies, had frequent nightmares, and finally died mysteriously.
Then there was Lu Ming. He also started having nightmares and an actor’s facial makeup appeared on his left arm, so he came to me for a tattoo.
After he left, I started to have nightmares frequently, and now I actually have actor’s facial makeup on my arm.
Are you really caught up in the dirty things in the ghost building? Only at this moment did I realize that Lu Ming was not alarmist before.
"Boy, why is there the Seal of the Earth Emperor on your arm? Could it be that you provoked...provoked that thing?" Lao Hu's face was serious, and the cigarette in his hand fell out.
"What is the Seal of the Earth Emperor? It's obviously an actor's mask. We just went to the ghost house. Who knows what we might have provoked."
"Ghost building? That ghost building in Nanzhou Normal University?" The expression on Lao Hu's face had become shocked.
"Have you ever been to a ghost house? You..." He was about to ask something more when suddenly, a banging sound came over.
We were both stunned. The sound came from the room where he lived.
Lao Hu's expression changed and he rushed out quickly, followed closely by me.
We returned to the room where he lived and saw that the coffin placed in the living room was moving, bumping up and down, and the lid of the coffin slowly slid down with the bumps.
I immediately thought of the woman in costume in the coffin, so I yelled and was about to rush over to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, this old man grabbed me and shouted in a cold voice: "Get out of here, get out of here."
He pushed me out of the door without any explanation and stared at me fiercely.
It seemed that he swore to death that I would not pry into his secret, the secret about the woman in costume in the coffin.
He slammed the door shut and I could no longer see what was going on inside.
I was so anxious that I wanted to break the door open. My intuition told me that the actor in the coffin must be related to the actor I was investigating.
Just at this moment, my cell phone rang.
After pressing the answer button, Lu Ming's voice came from the other side.
"Brother Yang, something happened, Xiaorou... Xiaorou entered the ghost building." Lu Ming's voice was trembling.
I was stunned.
"What? You said Xiaorou entered the ghost house? When?"
"just now."
"No, why did she go into the ghost building in the middle of the night? The last time she went in, she was entangled with dirty things, and she couldn't hide, so why did she go in?
"Oh no, isn't that ghost building closed by the school?"
Lu Ming almost cried.
"Brother Yang, can you come to school? I'm really afraid that something will happen to Xiaorou."
