Chapter 58 The Strange Photo (2/2)
He turned back. After glancing around the tea room, he went up to the wall.
It was a photo wall.
The photos were not in frames, but were pinned into the wall, which showed Ruan Qinse’s high aesthetic standard.
Xu Yi pointed at a photo on the wall and said: “So… my wife gave you this house, right?”
I looked at the woman he pointed to. She was very beautiful and had a dedicated look, with a good figure.
I knew this woman.
It was exactly Xiao Hong… whose belly was hollowed out by the weasel.
Mimi and I would have died because of her if Chen Yuhao hadn’t come to our aid in time.
“Is she… you wife?” I asked him.
He smiled and replied: “Yes.”
I swallowed and said: “Oh… Your wife was really beautiful.”
“Haha, my comrade also said that.” After this, he smiled to me: “Well, time’s up. I have to leave now. Shui, please promise what I have told you… I will repay you if there is a chance in my next life.”
Then Xu Yi’s soul disappeared completely, he went to reincarnate.
But I wanted to tell him: “Sorry, my brother, but I couldn’t do that even in all of my life… Xiao Hong had already died the day before yesterday.”
When Xu Yi left, Feng Chunsheng asked me why I was so stunned.
I pointed at Xiao Hong and said: “She was Xu Yi’s wife.”
“Very good, she’s very beautiful.” Feng Chunsheng nodded.
Then I said: “Her name was Xiao Hong.”
“What?” He was taken aback and asked: “She was the one who offended the weasel?”
I nodded and said, “Yes. Served Xiao Hong right. It was just the retribution she suffered for betraying her husband, Xu Yi.”
A thought popped into my mind again - There is justice in the world.
Retribution existed indeed. Good would be rewarded with good, and evil with evil. It didn’t come because it was the right time.
I was daydreaming there when Feng Chunsheng cried out again: “Shui, look at this.”
“What’s that?” I asked him.
He pointed at the photo of Xiao Hong and said: “There are two other acquaintances in the photo.”
“Really?” I checked the photo.
There were indeed two acquaintances: one was Liao Min, and the other was Mimi.
How could they be together in this photo?
Then I looked at Ruan Qinse and asked: “When was this photo taken?”
She came and checked, then she said: “Oh… It was taken when I bought the house. They were from the agency and we took the photo together.”
Si…
It sent a chill up my spine. Feng Chunsheng and I looked at each other, then I said to Ruan Qinse: “Sister, can you give me that photo?”
“Of course, it’s only a photo and doesn’t have any meanings.” She raised her hand and took the photo off the wall, then handed it to me: “For you.”
With that photo, Feng Chunsheng and I left Ruan Qinse.
Now we had settled Ruan Qinse’s matter satisfactorily.
We had solved one problem only to find another cropping up. It had involved Liao Min and Xiao Hong with the matter of Ruan Qinse.
After we left the villa, we sat in a pavilion and discussed things.
We were smoking there.
I took up the photo and sighed: “Brother chun, now I know why Liao Min and Xiao Hong got into such big trouble over that ominous matter.”
“So it is.” He said: “They were selling ghost-haunted houses. How could they do that?”
He said: “Last time I saw her, I knew she had been troubled by many ghosts. Now I know it was all because of the ghost houses.”
Now we knew how ominous that house was… We wouldn’t have made it out of there if it weren’t for Feng Chunsheng.
The result was, Liao Min and Xiao Hong had both been in that ghost house.
Feng Chunsheng said: “Well, what went around came around. Now Xiao Hong is dead, and Liao Min will be the next… Just forget her, since she is still selling those ghost houses.”
I looked at the photo, telling him that it was nothing if Liao Min died, and had nothing to do with me, but Mimi was involved too.
Mimi was my friend. I couldn’t let her die so easily.
Feng Chunsheng crossed his legs and said: “Well… How did Mimi get involved in this? This situation is terrible. I think all the people in that photo will die… and it is only a matter of time.”
How could ordinary people get involved with these ghost houses? It should never have happened.
“Well, Brother Chun… there is one more strange thing.” I found something else unusual in the photo and handed it to Feng Chunsheng.
