Bailian's stand-in has collapsed [Transmigration Book]

Lin Jianqiu stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.

He had long seen that there was a middle-aged woman behind the crack of the door. The one who just screamed along with Wei Congbai was also a hoarse female voice.

Wei Congbai pulled Lin Jianqiu's hind legs desperately from behind.

At first, he just tugged at the hem of his clothes, but after he found that he couldn't do it, he couldn't wait to hug his thigh, and his whole body shook like a sieve.

It's not that Lin Jianqiu can't understand him.

Even if you know there are no ghosts, it is quite scary to meet someone's eyes at close range without warning.

But Mr. Wei's reaction was too great.

Subconsciously, Lin Jianqiu stretched out his hand to grab his own pants, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

For the sake of the former customer, he resisted the urge to kick out, and just pulled his clothes back with all his strength.

He doesn't like running around naked in public.

Fortunately, the people behind the door also gradually calmed down, and a similarly hoarse male voice came out: "What's wrong?"

The man opened the door completely, and middle-aged men and women in gray cloth appeared at the door.

Both of them are not too old. Only the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are clearly visible, but the eyes are a little cloudy.

At first glance, it looks really scary.

But after seeing the people standing outside, the attitude of the two of them was subconsciously respectful.

The man was a little wary: "Who are you? Why do you have the key here?"

Lin Jianqiu replied: "Boss Ding asked me to come."

The man frowned slightly, but did not doubt: "Are you here to see the house? Please come in."

The woman was still frozen in place,? The man stretched out his hand and pushed her.

Her eyeballs moved, she came back to her senses, smiled embarrassingly, and lowered her head to avoid the man.

"Sorry,? My old lady just likes to be surprised. I don't see outsiders very often. Please forgive me."

The woman sneaked a look behind Lin Jianqiu, and asked a little stammeringly, "Did that, that one also come to see the house together?"

Lin Jianqiu kicked back.

Wei Congbai got up awkwardly, but his hands were still holding on to Lin Jianqiu's clothes, refusing to let go.

"I'm Ding Shuangmu's friend, my surname is Wei. I heard that he is going to sell his house recently, so I stopped by to have a look. Are you two housekeepers here?"

"So it's Young Master Wei." The man smiled sincerely, "I don't dare to be the housekeeper. We just help take care of the villa, clean it up, and take a look at the gate. After all... no one else dares to come."

The man's surname is Yu, and the woman's surname is Jin.

Uncle Yu and Aunt Jin have helped take care of the villa since Mrs. Ding was still around. They were originally just temporary workers, but since Mrs. Ding passed away, Ding Shuangmu was too lazy to find another person, so he simply let them continue to take care of it.

Later, when rumors of the haunting spread, no one was willing to come to the door, and Ding Shuangmu could only continue to use the two of them, and even allowed them to live in.

There is no need to pay additional rent, but the two can only share a room converted from a utility room in the corner.

This will not damage the overall image of the villa, and it is also convenient for someone to open the door immediately when someone needs to see the house.

There seemed to be quite a few people looking at the house recently. Uncle Yu didn't doubt the intention of the two of them at all. When he led them in, he gave a brief introduction of the layout and facilities inside.

Aunt Jin brought tea from the kitchen and put it on the coffee table in the living room.

Wei Congbai sat upright on the sofa, his mind was wandering, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Compared with the bright sunshine outside, the house is much drowsy and depressing.

It may be because the curtains are drawn, the lights are not turned on, and there are two small dim lights, which make the empty living room look more desolate and deserted.

As for the upstairs, there are other rooms, which look like black holes at a glance, and seem to be sucked in after a long time, which makes people feel a little flustered unconsciously.

Wei Congbai leaned slightly towards Lin Jianqiu, lowered his voice and said to him, "It's a bit similar inside."

Lin Jianqiu glanced at him: "Mr. Wei, are you afraid?"

Wei Cong said bluntly: "How can I have it?! I was just thinking about why there are rumors of ghosts spreading here. Now it seems that the environment inside is not good. If you don't see the light all day, isn't it more cloudy... "

"..." Lin Jianqiu was silent for a moment, "If your voice is not trembling, it still sounds a little persuasive." Wei Congbai: "..."

Wei Congbai: "Do you understand that people are difficult?"

Wei Congbai became angry from embarrassment, Lin Jianqiu swallowed the rest of the words, and asked instead: "Mr. Wei has been out for a walk for so long, doesn't he need to go back to work?"

If you're so scared, just go back.

Wei Congbai refused to admit defeat: "I rest today."

Lin Jianqiu glanced at the date: "Isn't today a working day?"

Wei Congbai said bluntly: "I am the boss, and I like to have a holiday every day. Is it okay to have an extra day every month if we start reforming today?"

"Okay." Lin Jianqiu looked back nonchalantly, "Your employees will definitely be very moved."

Wei Congbai: "..." careless.

Lin Jianqiu continued to remind him: "In case you feel scared, please lower your voice when you scream, or it will affect my concentration."

Wei Congbai was upset: "How could I scream like a little girl—"

His voice became smaller and smaller under Lin Jianqiu's calm gaze.

"That was an accident just now." Wei Congbai defended himself in a low voice, "I thought no one was here, and you would be scared if you came."

"Don't you know there is someone here?" Lin Jianqiu asked, "Didn't President Ding mention it to you before?"

"No." Wei Congbai pursed his lips, "He doesn't care much about this place, and I was invited over for dinner when he just transferred the ownership."

In the name of celebrating one's own extra property, in fact, it's just gathering together with friends for food, drink and merry-go-round.

At that time, the road outside had not been repaired, and a group of second-generation ancestors drove a convertible sports car to blow up dust, ate a mouthful of mud, and complained that the place was unlucky when they came.

Afterwards, Ding Shuangmu never invited anyone to come here again, and he rarely came here himself.

"But at that time... It seems that Ding Shuangmu said that someone was hired to take care of it, but this kind of trivial matter has nothing to do with us, no one cares..."

Wei Congbai was thinking with his head down, when he suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from a distance.

"Boom" sound.

And then there's-

"Wow ah-"

The cry of a child suddenly came from the dark room.

"Ahhh!"

Wei Congbai was so frightened that he trembled and almost jumped onto Lin Jianqiu.

Lin Jianqiu stretched out two fingers, pressing against Wei Congbai's forehead, forcing him to keep a distance from him.

The expressions of Uncle Yu and Aunt Jin changed at the same time.

Uncle Yu looked at Aunt Jin, his face was full of reproaches and warnings, Aunt Jin lowered her head slightly, blushing and panicking at the same time.

She didn't bother to explain to her husband, and turned her head into the room in a hurry.

After a while, Aunt Jin came out with a child in her arms.

He was only about one or two years old, and he didn't know how to speak. He was just a small ball in Aunt Jin's arms, and he could only cry with his mouth open.

Aunt Jin coaxed the child in a low voice, and looked at Wei Congbai who was overreacting awkwardly, but didn't know what to say.

Uncle Yu explained to the two embarrassingly: "This is our little grandson. Our son is busy with work and has no time to take care of him. But don't worry, we don't occupy other places. When our son moves next week After finishing the family, we sent the child back to him."

As he spoke, he added in a low voice: "Master Ding also knows about this."

The implication is that this is Ding Shuangmu's permission, rather than their own claim to occupy the master's house.

The child's crying gradually died down.

Wei Congbai also slowly recovered from his panic.

As soon as he looked up, he met Lin Jianqiu's half-smiling eyes, touched his nose awkwardly, then reached out to touch the sofa cushion, patted the dust on it, and slowly moved his foot that jumped up in a hurry back to the ground.

"I'm just trying to see the elasticity of this sofa..." Wei Congbai defended guiltily.

"Oh." Lin Jianqiu nodded.

"..." That look is a mockery, it must be a mockery!

The room where the young couple committed suicide is in the small building to the west.

The master bedroom on the first floor has large floor-to-ceiling windows, which are connected to the small balcony in the southwest. Behind a small piece of lawn is a fence connected by iron railings, and there is a lake behind.

At a glance, there are mountains and waters, and when the fog rises in the morning, it even feels a bit fairy-like.

Unlike the dark and drowsy living room in the main building, this room is open and bright. The curtains made of white gauze are pulled open to both sides, fluttering with the wind blowing in from time to time.

The walls are warm light blue, and there are landscape paintings of mountains and lakes on the wall beside the bed, and there are no other decorations.

Of course, the traces of people who died in the room had been cleaned up long ago.

Only the door of the room is locked tightly, and it is said that it will only be opened and cleaned every two weeks when it is cleaned.

"Were you here when that couple checked in?" Lin Jianqiu asked Uncle Yu who was following behind.

"That's not true." Uncle Yu shook his head, "At that time, the young couple paid the whole year's rent in one go, and brought someone to clean it, so Master Ding let us go home."

Not long afterward, the young couple committed suicide in the villa. Ding Shuangmu despised this kind of bad luck, so he reasoned that he rarely went there, and called Uncle Yu and his wife back to cooperate with the investigation

After the investigation, Uncle Yu and his wife had no problems, and Ding Shuangmu didn't find another person because he thought it was troublesome, so he raised their wages and let them work here.

After all, it was a place where people died, and Young Master Ding was not short of money, so he was quite generous to the two of them, so they stayed.

"Aren't you afraid?" Lin Jianqiu asked

"At first I was a little scared, but after a long time, I felt nothing. In fact, many times, people scare themselves. We haven't really encountered ghosts in the years we have been here."

"When the next few tenants moved in, were you still here?"

"Yes. In the beginning, someone had heard about someone committing suicide, so they rented it for cheap. Only they felt scared, so they let us stay."

"Anyway, even if we don't want us, they have to find someone else to take care of it themselves. We are familiar with this place and don't need to pay extra wages."

"Your wages have always been paid by Mr. Ding?"

"Yes. Young Master Ding is a person who is afraid of trouble, so he is not happy to worry about some trivial matters."

"It's also because there are too many people who have withdrawn the rent recently, and he has to go to fight with Master Ding every short period of time. He finds it troublesome, so he thinks about selling the house."

"Will you guys still live here after the house is sold?"

"No more." Uncle Yu shook his head and couldn't help but smile helplessly, "Selling a house is different from renting it out. The owner has changed directly. It would be bad for us to stay here."

"What if the new owner wants you to stay? After all, you are already familiar with this place."

"Probably not." Uncle Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But even if the new master invites us, we probably won't stay."

"Why? Do you think it's too remote to take care of your family?"

"That's part of the reason."

"To be honest, it's really not easy for the two of us to take care of such a big house. I have had joint pains since the year before last, and my old wife is also sick all over."

Uncle Yu sighed as he spoke, but he didn't seem to be dissatisfied: "If it weren't for Master Ding's repeated attempts to persuade us to stay, we might have gone back to provide for the elderly. Thanks to the generosity of Master Ding over the years, we have saved enough pension money .”

Uncle Yu hammered his waist, as if he felt uncomfortable after standing for a long time.

Lin Jianqiu suggested with concern: "It's best to see a doctor. Most of the time, minor illnesses and pains are not taken seriously. When they become serious, it's too late to regret."

Uncle Yu also has this plan: "When we leave here, my wife and I will go to the hospital for a physical examination together."

Lin Jianqiu sighed: "No matter what job you do now, it's not easy."

Uncle Yu nodded sympathetically: "Yes, it's all for survival."

Seeing that the topic between the two had turned to the difficulties of work, Wei Congbai couldn't quite empathize with him, so he listened patiently for a while, but still couldn't help but interrupted.

"Then what happened to the haunting before?" Wei Congbai asked, "The haunting started after that. Don't you all live here too? Have you ever seen ghosts or anything?"

Uncle Yu was stunned, subconsciously shifted his gaze, and then shook his head.

"No." He paused, and seemed a little strange, "I don't know why, those people were fine at first, but after a few days they said they saw ghosts and called us over to have a look. And nothing."

"As time goes by, those people will spread the rumors, maybe they are innocent souls who committed suicide, and they are not allowed to occupy their resting place, because we are considered servants, so we have no influence."

"Once we saw it clearly. In fact, it was the shadows of the curtains floating around at night. It happened to be a strong wind that day, so the windows blew loudly, but no matter how we explained, they insisted that there were ghosts. move away."

Uncle Yu couldn't help sighing as he spoke: "They are so persistent, it's hard for us to say anything."

Wei Congbai couldn't help muttering: "Is there really a ghost?"

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Once or twice can still be said to be an illusion, three times, four times, five times... Then others can't let others think about it.

Wei Congbai glanced at Lin Jianqiu and asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Jianqiu only asked him: "Do you want to buy this house?"

Wei Congbai was speechless: "Why should I buy this house, keep it and develop it into a real haunted house?"

Lin Jianqiu: "It's not impossible."

Wei Congbai rolled his eyes: "Don't think of me as the kind of idler who has nothing to do, my company is also very busy."

Lin Jianqiu: "Busy for a walk?"

Wei Congbai: "..."

"Can you stop mentioning this!" Wei Congbai said angrily, "It's not because you insisted on coming here. I'm not afraid that if something happens to you, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

Lin Jianqiu: "..."

Wei Congbai: "..."

The two looked at each other for a moment, Wei Congbai coughed forcefully, turned his head away: "...I didn't say anything."

Lin Jianqiu received a blank look very politely: "Mr. Wei, what did you just say, I didn't hear clearly."

Wei Congbai: "..." Damn.

Why do I still feel a little angry for no reason?

Lin Jianqiu couldn't help but smile.

Mr. Wei is really a good person.

He would probably explode into a puffer fish if he said that.

Lin Jianqiu was thinking casually, so he temporarily swallowed the teasing words back.

-

Although the house is big, most of the places are empty, almost no one has lived in it, and naturally there is nothing to see.

Before leaving, Uncle Yu took Wei Congbai to the bathroom.

Lin Jianqiu walked around the living room casually.

The living room in the main building is larger than the combined living rooms on both sides, and the lights are still not turned on, but the decoration looks better than other places.

There are several colored strips hanging on the wall and the wooden bar, and there are several boxes of colored ribbons and fireworks on the back of the bar, as well as some other small decorations.

There is also a brand new piano in the corner.

Aunt Jin was standing beside coaxing the child, and put the baby bottle on the piano cover casually.

Seeing Lin Jianqiu approaching, she quickly took two steps back to make room for him.

Lin Jianqiu didn't touch it, but asked one more question: "Did this just come here?"

Aunt Jin nodded: "That's right, Young Master Ding just asked someone to bring it over today. What kind of charity sale will be held the day after tomorrow? Tomorrow, we will call someone to break through all the partitions and decorate it."

She pointed to the bar connected by the wooden partition, and she felt a little distressed when she said it.

The bar table is made of good materials, it looks exquisite and beautiful, and it is just right to be placed in the overly empty living room.

It's really a pity to tear it down.

"I heard it's mainly selling houses?" Lin Jianqiu asked casually.

"There seems to be something else, we don't know too well."

"It's a pity that this house is not haunted. If it is not haunted, it must have been sold long ago. Why should it be reduced to auction at a bazaar? I'm afraid it won't even sell for half of its actual value." Lin Jianqiu sighed, " Otherwise, I advise Mr. Wei to buy this house, he and Ding are always good friends, and they will definitely not treat him badly."

Aunt Jin subconsciously said, "That won't work, the house has already found a buyer."

"What nonsense are you talking about with Master Ding's friend!" Uncle Yu snorted from behind, and then explained, "It's just intentional. During this time, Master Ding is in contact with people. After a long time, he should come down and be sure to be the first." Sell ​​it to that gentleman, Young Master Wei must not be short of a house, why bother to join in the fun."

Wei Cong Bai Wenyan, who came out from behind, curled his lips: "Why, you people who sell houses also pay attention to first-come, first-served?"

Uncle Yu smiled embarrassingly and stopped talking.

He could see that Wei Congbai had no intention of buying a house at all, so he wasn't too worried.

Sure enough, Wei Congbai didn't say anything more, and raised his chin to signal to Lin Jianqiu if he could go.

Uncle Yu sent the two of them to the door: "Go slowly, both of you."

- After getting in the car, Wei Congbai couldn't wait to ask Lin Jianqiu: "Do you see any problems?"

Lin Jianqiu: "You are afraid of ghosts."

Wei Congbai: "..."

Wei Congbai: "Except for this."

"Those two people don't want to sell you the house."

"Yes." Wei Congbai patted his thigh and continued, "I think there is something wrong with those two people, do you think so too?"

"It was only them and the tenants who were haunted a few times. If it wasn't for several tenants to join forces to play a prank, it could only be their problem."

"That's right! And they said just now that they found a buyer. Now that they found it, why did they ask you to help? It couldn't be..." Wei Congbai let his imagination run wild. Let Ding Shuangmu sell the house?!"

"So they deliberately played tricks to scare away the tenants, and then suggested that Ding Shuangmu sell the house, taking advantage of the opportunity to manipulate."

"Then you can embezzle your property and go away..."

Lin Jianqiu was silent for a moment, and sincerely suggested: "...Mr. Wei, you should watch less bloody TV series."

Wei Congbai asked in surprise, "Don't you think what I said is wrong?"

Lin Jianqiu sighed: "Get some kickbacks at most, they still have grandsons and sons, where can they go if they get the money?"

Wei Congbai thought about it for a while, and felt that it made some sense, he couldn't help wondering: "Is it really haunted, or a coincidence?"

Lin Jianqiu glanced at him: "Boss Wei seems very curious."

"Isn't curiosity a human instinct?" Wei Congbai said, "And you came here specially, don't you want to find out why?"

"There are many ways to pretend to be ghosts, such as curtains, shadows, the sound of wind, cries, the sound of marbles... and pretending to mention that someone died here before, normal people can't help but think about it."

"People's fear of the unknown is instinctive."

"But why do you want to pretend to be a ghost? More information is needed."

Lin Jianqiu paused, and looked at Wei Congbai thoughtfully.

Wei Congbai was shocked: "Don't laugh like that, it makes me panic."

There is always a premonition of being cheated.

"How dare I cheat you." Lin Jianqiu seemed to have seen Wei Congbai's heart at a glance, raised the corners of his lips, and hooked his fingers at him, "After all, I don't have as many contacts as Mr. Wei—really If you are curious, can you ask President Wei to do me a favor?"

"Why don't you dare..."

While Wei Congbai muttered softly, he still obediently put his ears on it.

"What's the matter, let's hear it?"

-

In the afternoon, after Lin Jianqiu finished his work, he took a tour of the supermarket with the fresh deposit.

After purchasing some necessities, he went straight back to the newly rented place.

Lin Jianqiu put down the things in his hand, took out the key and opened the door.

Then he saw a dark living room.

The curtains on the balcony were drawn, but it was not enough to block out the light, so there was still a little sunlight leaking in through the gaps, and the scene in the house could barely be seen.

A white mass lay on the sofa in the living room, still trembling slightly.

He could vaguely see the beard and hair protruding from the gap, also trembling slightly.

The ground next to it was a mess, with white broken petals falling on the ground, and a long red rope stretched all the way to the sofa.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A muffled sound came from below the large group.

"..."

Lin Jianqiu took two steps back, stepped back outside the threshold, and closed the door behind him with a "snap".

He must have opened the door the wrong way.

Lin Jianqiu stood at the door and calmed down for a while, reached out and rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath, and pressed the doorknob again.

After opening the door, the first thing that came in was still the white mass.

The ground was still a mess.

But this time, a vicissitudes face covered with beards appeared in the big group.

The bearded man turned his head to look at the door, looked at Lin Jianqiu for a moment, and asked, "Are you constipated?"

"..." Lin Jianqiu was silent for a moment, "Brother Lu, what are you doing?"

It’s been a while since we last saw each other, why did you start performance art at home?

What stimulated you?

The bearded man raised the small hammer in his hand, and in the other hand was the cross he had just crucified. ——A simple version made of two small wooden strips of different thicknesses and lengths.

Apparently, those muffled bangs just now were not an illusion.

The bearded man replied solemnly: "I'm exorcising ghosts scientifically."

Lin Jianqiu: "..."

The author has something to say: Lin: Today is a memorable day, allowing me to witness the diversity of human species (life and death look down on faces)

There is one or two more updates that will be a little later, everyone, don’t stay up too late at night, you can watch it tomorrow morning, okay?
