Mountains have trees and trees have branches

Chapter 90
Two days after returning from the resort, Qing Huan forgot about the water ghost.

Someone came to Lu Qingsi especially, saying that the house has been haunted by ghosts for a long time.Now I heard that Taoist Lu can exorcise ghosts, so I came here to ask for disaster relief and make my family safe.

Qing Huan gnawed on an apple and asked, "You said your house is haunted, what exactly does it look like?"

The person who came was a woman in her 30s, with a shrewd appearance and quick movements, she looked like a neat woman.

She sighed and said, "It's been a year or two. At first it was just noises at night, always in the middle of the night, either the plates were dropped, or the door was opened for no reason. At first we thought there was a thief, or someone When the wind blows down, I don’t care about it. Who would have thought that it would get worse later on. I was crushed by ghosts, and my man’s hair was shaved. Only then did we know that there was something strange in the house. You don’t know, in the past two years I don’t know how many people have been invited, but none of them can drive away! A few days ago, I heard my neighbor, Granny Li, talk about Taoist Lu. Go, we can't thank you enough."

Qing Huan and Lu Qingsi looked at each other, and said with a smile, "I am the assistant of Taoist Lu, and I will take care of all the affairs of Taoist Lu to catch ghosts. Your situation does not sound difficult, I think you have encountered a house ghost .”

The woman wondered, "House ghost?"

Qing Huan explained, "House ghosts are one of the most common ghosts. They won't harm people's lives. Their greatest ability is to make your house restless and play pranks endlessly. They just want to make the house uninhabited by haunting means. , thus becoming his place. Dare I ask you, is this house your own?"

The woman thought for a while, and said, "My man saved some money from a small business, and bought this house three years ago. Speaking of the origin of this house, it is also common. The previous owner was a gambler, and he exported all his wife's house. Go, that's how we took over the house."

"What about that gambler?"

The woman shook her head, "I don't know. I heard that his palm was cut off and he became a beggar. No one has seen him again."

Qing Huan blinked her eyes, this case sounds like it is not difficult to handle, and it can be done.

"It doesn't sound difficult, then we will go with you, but if the exorcism is successful, you have to pay a certain amount of money."

The woman smiled and said, "This is what it should be," while speaking, she took out a small purse from her pocket and handed it to Qing Huan, "I just ask you and Taoist Lu to help us solve our problems, money is not a problem! "

Qing Huan pinched the purse casually, knowing that there was a lot of money in it, she smiled knowingly, "Alright, wait a moment, we will go with you as soon as we are ready."

At this moment, Luo Heng came in from the outside, Qing Huan gave him a strange look and said, "Why are you here at this time, aren't you going to work?"

Luo Heng was wearing a casual black suit and three-piece leather shoes. He was extremely handsome, "I worked overtime for two days in a row, and I will take a day off today."

He glanced at the woman sitting in the living room, wondering, "What is she here for?"

Qing Huan explained the reason for the woman's visit, and Luo Heng suddenly remembered the message he had left about Lu Qingsi and her recently.

Luo Heng glanced at the woman again, and asked with interest, "Can you take me there?"

Qing Huan looked him up and down, "You? Are you not afraid?"

Luo Heng heard the old news, blushed and shouted, "Joke! I am a man of seven feet, and I will be afraid of a ghost!!"

Qing Huan covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Well, you are not afraid, let's go there together."

The woman's house is in Liuyuan Hutong in the city, and a few people arrived in a rickshaw in less than a quarter of an hour.

Lu Qingsi came out with the compass, the compass didn't move at first, but when he entered the main courtyard, the pointer on the compass started to rotate with a clatter.

Qing Huan covered her eyes with her right hand. The structure of this courtyard is simple. The main room is used as the living room. The husband and wife sleep in the west wing with their children, and the mother-in-law lives alone in the east.Qing Huan looked at it carefully, and found that the problem lies in the main room.

She looked back at the woman, who understood, and took the child and mother-in-law out of the yard.She stepped forward, pushed open the door of the main room, and with a creak, the compass in Lu Qingsi's hand turned more and more violently.

Entering the room, Qing Huan looked around carefully, and was about to go in when the door behind her closed with a "bang".

Luo Heng walked at the end, and the door closed behind him. He was startled, and jumped to Qing Huan's side and grabbed Qing Huan's arm tightly.

"What happened??"

Qing Huan looked back at him, he hugged her arms tightly and looked around nervously;

Qing Huan looked at her other hand, Lu Qingsi also hugged her hand tightly and looked around tremblingly.

Qing Huan rolled her eyes helplessly, "Luo Heng, didn't you say you're not afraid!"

Luo Heng said calmly, "I'm not afraid, I just think that holding you will make you warmer!"

Lu Qingsi tilted his head to look at him and kindly reminded, "Brother Luo, it's summer now, so it's not cold."

"To shut up!"

The two of them hugged her with one arm trembling, but they still wanted to quarrel! !Qing Huan gritted her teeth, broke away from them, and was about to speak, when suddenly, a white shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and rushed straight towards them.

Qing Huan pushed Luo Heng and Lu Qingsi away, was hit by the ghost and fell to the ground.

"Where humans dare to trespass on my residence, I will fight!"

The ghost roared loudly, and punched as soon as it started, Qing Huan managed to grab his hands, and when she looked closely, she froze in place.

This, this is an old man! !
He has gray hair, thin clothes, and a goatee that is up and down with his movements.

Judging by his age, he must be at least 70.

Being caught by Qing Huan, the old man yelled, "You impolite girl, let me go!"

Qing Huan frowned, let go of him, and stood up from the ground taking advantage of the situation.

"Grandpa, instead of reincarnating, you're playing pranks in other people's homes, isn't it good?"

As Qing Huan said, she opened her palm, and the red light came out as if smelling prey and hit the old man. Luo Heng and Lu Qingsi could actually see the old man.

The two were stunned and looked at each other. Luo Heng was probably a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stood behind Qing Huan.

Hearing what Qing Huan said, the old man immediately got angry and said, "What other people's house! This is my home, mine!!"

Qing Huan said helplessly, "You have entered the underworld and have nothing to do with the world. Now that you disturb the lives of living people for no reason, if one day you become a ghost, there will be no way back."

When the old man heard that he was going to become a ghost, he flinched a bit, and then became tough again, "I'm not going anywhere! This is my home, and I'm not going anywhere! They took my house! I'm not going anywhere , don’t go!!”

As the old man said, he hugged the table with one foot and sat down. No matter how much he persuaded him, he just said, "This is my home!!"

Qing Huan had no choice but to lead Luo Heng and Lu Qingsi out of the main room.

After leaving a yard, the woman was waiting anxiously. When she saw them coming out, she hurried forward and said, "What's the matter, what's the matter, have the ghosts been driven away?"

Qing Huan thought for a while and said, "Sister, you have to tell me about the history of your house."

While briefly telling them what the old man said, the woman thought about it, said "wait", turned and went out the door, and after a while, she dragged a man and ran in.

She walked up to Qing Huan and pointed to the man behind her, "Miss, this is my man, he bought this house, you can ask him if you have anything."

As he said that, he told the man what happened just now. The man recalled it carefully and said, "My wife should have told you about this house. It was bought from a gambler. He owed a loan shark at that time and was eager to sell it. , I just wanted to buy a house, so I took over."

Qing Huan said, "Then do you know about this old man?"

The man scratched his head, "I don't know. When I bought the house, he was the only one. His wife and children were lost. I didn't see any old man."

"Then do you know which casino he gambled in?"

The man thought for a while and said, "It seems to be Huili Casino."

After leaving the woman's house, Qing Huan went in the direction of Huili Casino, Luo Heng stopped her and said, "Are you really going?"

Qing Huan said, "It's daytime now, no casino will open, I just need to find a middleman to ask."

Qing Huan led them around and knocked open a house in an alley. The man was wearing glasses and a coarse cloth gown, looking gentle.

Qing Huan explained why he came, and the man led them to the market without saying a word, and found a young brother at a food stall.Qing Huan bought money for the meal for the little brother, and gave some more money. When he mentioned the gambler, the little brother said cheerfully, "Miss is talking about Zhao Hong."

The gambler's name was Zhao Hong, and the old man was Zhao Hong's father, Zhao Jiuguang.

Zhao Jiuguang is a good old man, and he loves Zhao Hong to be lawless.

Zhao Jiuguang earned some family property while he was alive, married Zhao Hong a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a daughter.But who knows that Zhao Hong became addicted to gambling and smoked opium, and it didn't take long for his family to be ruined.

Zhao Jiuguang was seriously ill, and Zhao Hong stole the last bit of money from the family to gamble, causing Zhao Jiuguang to die without money for medical treatment.Later, in order to repay the gambling money, Zhao Hong sold his wife and daughter together into a kiln.

But that little money was not enough for him to gamble, and he lost it in a few days.He couldn't repay the money, so his hands were chopped off by the gambling shop. He was penniless and his hands were chopped off, and he became a beggar. In the winter, he actually froze to death by the roadside.

Everyone was silent, Qing Huan thanked her, and led Luo Heng and Lu Qingsi back.

On the way back, Luo Heng asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

Qing Huan raised her eyebrows, "What else can I do, send him to where he should go."

They turned back again, it was already afternoon.

There are ghosts in the house, and the woman's family does not dare to stay, but the woman is more courageous, and waited for Qing Huan to come and said hopefully, "Miss, do you have a plan?"

Qing Huan nodded and smiled, "After taking your money, I will naturally help you avoid future troubles, so you can rest assured."
