Chapter 1383 (1/2)
Qian Liming nodded without hesitation: ”yes, I've seen it.”
”OK.” Su Xiaomei smiled, ”since you've seen it, tell us about it. What does the ghost look like?”
Qian Liming grinned: ”I don't know what ghosts look like.”
”Hey, you're contradictory,” said Li Qing. ”Didn't you say you've seen it just now?”
”That's not what I mean. Listen to me slowly.” Qian Liming waved his hand and immediately opened his mouth. ”I just told you that I sent a fierce son to ask around the Luo family's ancestral house. Some people nearby said that his old house has been lit up at night for a week.”
Su Xiaomei could not help blinking her beautiful eyes: ”what is ghost light? Is it ghost fire?”
”No.” Qian Liming shook his head. ”It's a window upstairs. There's light every night. It seems that someone lit a candle in the house.”
Li Qing said, ”you just said it lasted for a week?”
”Yes.”
”Ha ha.” Li Qing said with a smile, ”is someone sneaking in? The Luo family no longer lives in the old house? It's not strange if a homeless person runs in to shelter from the wind and rain and lights candles at night.”
Su Xiaomei thought Li Qing was reasonable and couldn't stop nodding: ”yes, you people are so interesting. It's a very common thing. You have to be nervous.”
”Alas, it would be nice if it were so simple.” Qian Liming said dully, ”I'm not a fool. Of course I didn't believe it when I first heard this, so after I came out of Luo's house, I took people to guard outside his ancestral house and wanted to see the so-called ghost light with my own eyes.”
Su Xiaomei was full of curiosity: ”and then?”
”When I left Luo's house, it was about nine o'clock. They sat in the car with a fierce son and waited for two or three hours.” Qian Liming put down his spoon and narrowed his eyes slightly. ”I didn't expect to let me wait.”
”It was about 11:30 p.m. at that time. I was about to fall asleep in the car. Suddenly, he knocked on the window and told me that the ghost light appeared.”
Su Xiaomei's beautiful eyes stared: ”really?”
”Isn't it.” Qian Liming looked a little stiff on his cheek. ”I was also full of curiosity at that time. After all, this idea had never been seen before. It was fresh. I got out of the car in a hurry and looked through a telescope. I didn't find how strange it was, that is, a faint yellow wax candle light appeared in a window.”
Li Qing took a bite of seafood cake and asked with a smile, ”then? Look at your expression, it shouldn't be so simple?”
”Isn't it? Who could have thought that the good play would come later.” Qian Liming lit his big head. ”That window was on the far left of the third floor. I was on fire at that time. This is ordinary candle light. Someone must have hidden in it and pretended to frighten me.”
”What did I think at that time? I think the Luo family is eager to sell the house. The price is cheap. There must be many people staring at it secretly. But who dares to provoke my identity in Mingtai? So these kids want to play tricks to scare me, not only make me unable to trade, but also push down the price of the house, killing two birds with one stone.”
Su Xiaomei nodded her head seriously: ”it makes sense. The ghost light has only appeared for more than a week, and the time point coincides.”
”That's the truth.” Qian Liming said, ”so I was very angry when I thought of this. I waved my hand and asked the fierce son to take people up and pull down the boy who lit the candle upstairs. I took him to light the sky lamp.”
Li Qing swallowed his mouth and asked faintly, ”didn't you catch it?”
”Not only didn't catch it, but it was a ghost.” Qian Liming leaned back and scolded angrily. ”Mengzi took people away. I waited below for about ten minutes, and they came back empty handed. I asked Mengzi, where is the man? He said that the man ran away and the candle went out.”
”Ha ha.” Su Xiaomei chuckled, ”it slipped quickly.”
Qian Liming gently pulled at the corner of his mouth: ”Xiaomei, don't forget, I've been guarding outside.”
”Ah?” Su Xiaomei was stunned. ”What do you mean?”
”What do you mean?” Qian Liming smiled strangely. ”When the fierce son told me that the man ran away and the candle went out, I slapped him with my backhand. I said you farted! Look up yourself! Isn't the candle still on!”
His voice fell. Both Li Qing and Su Xiaomei were stiff, and immediately showed their astonishment.
Su Xiaomei suddenly stared: ”what do you mean? The candle hasn't been out?”
”Yes.” Qian Liming breathed a sigh of relief and nodded his head. ”We watched outside, but the candle didn't go out. But Mengzi took people inside, but he didn't find any light. Isn't that a ghost?”
Li Qing frowned and thought for a while before opening his mouth and asked, ”didn't you go in again?”
Qian Liming said, ”it's understandable to say that I don't believe in the fierce son. But seven or eight of them went in together, and they all negotiated and came out to cheat me? And I was really afraid last night. When I met such an evil thing, I felt my hair stand up. If I didn't dare to stay there for a long time, I ran back immediately.”
”Really stupid...” Li Qing shouted, ”I didn't find out. What are you doing back?”
Qian Liming hurriedly said, ”Oh, brother, if I really hit a ghost, I won't die thoroughly? I don't have your skill, your luck, and your courage. I can't learn to cherish my life?”
