Chapter 70 One Night Stand Queen
“Somebody already died today, so there will be no more deaths for now. You can have a good rest.” I told Liao Min and Mimi.

The rule was that those who offended the weasel would die on different days.

So, Liao Min, Mimi, and Wei Xiaoyu, whom we hadn’t met yet, wouldn’t die today.

I asked Liao Min: “Where is Wei Xiaoyu? She’s the next in line…”

This was the rule determined by Feng Chunsheng. He didn’t know whether it was true or not, but we just went with it for the time being.

Four of the seven had died already and we had no choice.

Feng Chunsheng and I glanced each other, trying to figure it out.

At last, I made a decision: “We will go back to our homes separately and follow Chen Yuhao to look for Wei Xiaoyu.”

Mimi asked me: “Was that cool, handsome man Chen Yuhao? He was so strong.”

“Really? I’m also strong.” I told Mini. I really thought so, though I didn’t feel very satisfied.

Mimi smiled and replied: “Yes, yes, you are strong too.”

“Let’s go home first.” I stood up and cleaned up the dishes and prepared to look for Wei Xiaoyu tomorrow.

Before Liao Min left, she gave me a photo of Wei Xiaoyu.

Wei Xiaoyu was a girl with big eyes and a big mouth. She was very sexy in that red lipstick.

Liao Min told me, “Wei Xiaoyu is in love with a friend from the net and they live together now.”

I asked her where.

Liao Min didn’t know. She said she had to call her tomorrow.

Then Liao Min also told me that Wei Xiaoyu was a very open girl who enjoyed one-night stands.

Actually, it was a rather dangerous thing to have one-night stands in this society, and Wei Xiaoyu also got in trouble once.

One of her friends from the net was actually a thief. They met one night, and on the second day, she found her iPhone 6s was gone.

It was that male friend who had stolen her phone.

That was a really terrible experience for her.

But she never regretted anything and continued dating; she just wanted to get that fresh and exciting feeling.

I shook my head when I heard what Liao Min said. My mother once told me, ”You will get rich in love if you are devoted”, but now… sincerity was only a legend, far away from us.

My mom told me to treat love sincerely, but I am still single… I sighed.

The more open the society, the fewer expectations people might have towards love, and the less respect they have towards it.

I shook my head and told Liao Min I would go to Wei Xiaoyu tomorrow.

Liao Min whispered in my ear: “Shui, don’t be so conservative. Wei Xiaoyu is not a bad girl and she is only looking for a fresh way of life — different people have different lifestyles.”

“It has nothing to do with me… I’m not her father, nor her brother, but I want to say - do you want your family members to follow your example and be like you?” I asked Liao Min.

She shook her head: “I would never do it. Anyway we are only walkers between hell and this world. Once we choose this way of life, it’s not easy to give up… I also hope that my future child would get better education and enter a famous university so that they could be a lawyer, doctor or a teacher in the future.”

I smiled.

Liao Min told me: “Shui, I will give you a large amount of money if we survive, and I will also give up this business. I will find a boyfriend and get a normal life. Thank you.”

“Hopefully you will be the person you want to be.” I smiled to her.

After we parted with them, I cleaned up the table and went home. Feng Chunsheng and I got in the Corolla.

Now Feng Chunsheng was my driver and my consultant. That was his identity — at least I thought so.

I fastened my seat belt and got ready to go.

Suddenly I got a message.

“Hello, Mr. Yu. I got a tattoo from you before; it was a Yin and Yang tattoo. Can you help me solve some strange matters?” the girl asked me via WeChat.

I replied: “Of course. But… who are you?”

That girl replied: “Mr. Feng and I got this tattoo from you, can you remember? It’s the ’young lovers’ tattoo.”

Then she sent me a photo of that tattoo on her calf.

I could remember that tattoo.

It was vivid in my memory.

That tattoo was actually for a couples, with one boy’s smiling face and one cute girl’s face.

To be frank, those who came to me for tattoos would always choose cool and durable patterns such as ghosts and devils, and I had never done this kind of tattoo before. There were not so many customers who wanted it in my business days.

That tattoo was very cute and it actually looked a lot like that girl and her boyfriend. They showed great hope towards life and it was the best time for them.

I asked her: “So, what’s your name? I forget.”

“Oh, I’m Qinghua… Liu Qinghua.” She told me she was always hearing strange sounds, like a knife being sharpened… and it was very scary.

Then I asked her what else was going on.

She told me she was having nightmares.

During the night when she went to the toilet, she would always hear sha sha… that sound.

“Then?” I asked her again.

It was a long time before I got her reply. She told me she could hear some woman crying. Was that… a female ghost?

I asked Liu Qinghua when all of this began.

She told me several months ago, she had rented a house and decorated it. It all began after she had lived there for about a month.

“Oh, why did you decorate the house if you were only renting?” I asked.

Liu Qinghua she said that the house was rented but life was not, and she just wanted to live a comfortable life.

I thought about it for a while and decided she was right.

Then I said: “Well… You are living in a ghost house now, according to what you have told me, but it is not so ominous. I think it’s not all so terrible. Let me come over now and look around.”

“Good, thank you.”

“By the way, for the tattoo used to suppress the ghost, the price will be at least thirty thousand,” I told her.

Liu Qinghua thought for a while and replied: “All right… I accept this price.”

“That’s good.”

I turned the phone off and said to Feng Chunsheng: “Brother Chun, I need the tools. I have a new client.”

He laughed: “Shui, you really get a lot of business. Well, I think we need another helper because we’re so busy.”

“Yes, of course. We will go and find another man after this,” I replied.

Feng Chunsheng said, “OK.”

I went back to my shop and got a bamboo tube for the soul and some other tools. Then we headed off to Liu Qinghua’s home.

Though Liu Qinghua’s address was noted on her WeChat profile, we only managed to find the house after a lot of time and effort, with her guiding us.

It was actually a four-story house in the suburbs.

This building was built by the landlord himself, with common furnishings but lower prices.

It was about five hundred per month to hire a whole storey in our city, but there were not so many people hiring.

There was a tall locust tree in the yard.

Well, I had never seen such a big locust tree. It was four or five meters high with abundant leaves, all of them gathered like a big umbrella.

But when I looked at it from a distance, I found it was not so simple. I asked Feng Chunsheng: “Brother, do you think it looks like something when the leaves are gathered like that?”

“What’s that?” he asked me.

I told him: “It look like a human’s head, doesn’t it?”

He looked again. “It is exactly like… like a human’s head.”

“It’s ominous to have this kind of tree in the yard.”

The locust tree was actually a ghost tree, it kept ghosts with an evil spirit from leaving.

When the evil spirit couldn’t be let out, it would accumulate and became more and more evil.

“Be careful… Don’t get too close to that tree, it’s not good.” Feng Chunsheng reminded me when we entered the yard.

I also thought so… and tried to keep away from that tree.

When we were about to reach the gate, a motorbike came out of the yard, rushing past us.

There were a man and a woman on the bike.

The man was wearing a helmet, and the woman was in a fitted skirt and a tight, low-cut T-shirt.

I was familiar with that woman.

When they disappeared completely, I took out my phone and checked the photo sent by Liao Min, which was her favorite photo of Wei Xiaoyu.

That woman on the motorbike was Wei Xiaoyu, and the man… might be her boyfriend.

There were no coincidences.

I was coming there for business when I met Wei Xiaoyu.

Wei Xiaoyu was coming out of that house, so I thought this must be where she lived with her boyfriend.

That’s good… I would talk with her after this business with Liu Qinghua.

I turned back and went into the yard, but Feng Chunsheng stopped me just as I entered. He looked at that tall tree with caution and said: “Shui, be careful.”
