"What are you doing?" The man was furious.
"Just pretend you didn't hear anything." I said to Master Zhang and the other two, "These four are short-lived ghosts who are about to die. You two are weak in yang energy. Don't talk to them, and don't get close to them."
Master Zhang was both shocked and subconsciously looked at the four people.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The four men shouted angrily in unison, and surrounded him with shouts and noises, preparing to take action.
"What bad luck!" I frowned and looked at the four of them, "What's the use of wearing such thick clothes?"
"You...what did you say?" When the four people heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Are you still shivering in this cotton-padded jacket?" I said casually.
"You...how do you know? What...what is going on?" the leading man asked in surprise.
I clicked my tongue, "I told you that you are short-lived ghosts who are about to die. Can't you understand human speech or something?"
"Nonsense..." the man rebuked angrily, but halfway through the sentence, he choked back. After a long time, he softened his tone and forced a smile, "You... who are you?"
"Go back and prepare for the funeral early." I shook my head, greeted Master Zhang and Uncle Yang, and walked inside.
The four men wanted to stop him, but they just moved a step and were a little afraid.
While hesitating, we passed them and entered.
"Boss Xiao Lin still has a way to scare those four people into a daze." Master Zhang laughed softly.
"I didn't fool them." I said casually as I looked at the layout of the courtyard.
The house looks unremarkable from the outside, but it is special inside. It has a very typical Chinese classical style, including a lotus pond, rockery, and a courtyard corridor.
If that were all, it wouldn't be surprising.
What surprised me even more was that this house was extremely particular about Feng Shui, and every detail was obviously carefully arranged by Feng Shui masters.
"Ah?" Master Zhang and Uncle Yang were both shocked, "Then the four of them are really going to die!"
Although the two people were shocked, neither of them deliberately lowered their voices.
"etc!"
I heard someone shouting from behind, and the man from before rushed after me.
"What are you doing?" Master Zhang and the other two were startled.
The man only glanced at them, then ran to me, hesitated and asked, "You...you just said that some of us are going to die. What on earth is going on?"
I turned around and left, and Master Zhang and the other two hurriedly followed.
"Wait!"
The man caught up with him, squeezed out a smile, and led the way with a hunched posture, "Something happened in the house today, and we were invited by Mr. Liu to calm down the situation. All unrelated people are not allowed to enter, and we didn't mean to collide. Your."
As he spoke, he smiled and bowed repeatedly.
"What happened?" I asked with a hum.
"We don't know the specifics. It is said...it is said that there has been some unrest in the house recently." The man lowered his voice.
"What does it mean to be uneasy?" Master Zhang was surprised, "Is there something dirty?"
The man said with a grimace, "Well...it should be so. Mr. Liu also invited a master to come over and prepare to set up an altar in the inner courtyard to perform rituals. Let us guard the door."
"This house belongs to the Cao family. How could there be trouble? Are you sure?" Master Zhang asked in surprise.
"That's right." The man scratched his head, "But we just use money to do things, and we don't know exactly what happened. Mr. Liu specifically told us that this matter cannot be spread outside."
"That's true." Master Zhang nodded, "After all, this is the Cao family's house. If word spreads, it will not have a good impact on the Cao family."
I laughed and asked, "Why can't the Cao family stop causing evil?"
"That's right. After all, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds." Master Zhang agreed.
The man was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Then you just said that the four of us had short lives, was it because... because of the evil in this house?"
As he spoke, he patted his thighs and said, "This is really too damn evil. The four of us are all practicing practitioners and we are very angry. Even if we go shirtless in the winter, it is not a problem. As a result, after sitting here for a long time, we are freezing." It’s so choking that I’m trembling all over!”
"It's nothing to shiver, soon you won't have to shiver anymore." I stopped by a lotus pond, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it in.
There was only a splashing sound, and a burst of water splashed on the dark water surface, rippling in all directions.
"What...what do you mean no more trembling? Is there no problem?" the man asked hesitantly.
I glanced at him and said, "Why are dead people trembling?"
"You...don't scare me!" The man was already crying.
"Why are you scaring you?" I stared at the surface of the pool, "Didn't you say that this house is full of evil spirits? There are ghosts coming out of the gate. You four have been there for a long time and your orifices haven't bled. I'm surprised."
"I...one of my brothers just had...a nosebleed." The man's voice was trembling.
"Oh, it's almost started. Just wait."
I threw a few more stones into the pond and walked slowly around the lotus pond, observing the ripples on the water.
"This... we can't wait. We don't want to die yet. Please show us the way!" The man begged in a mournful voice, "Let's leave now. Can we save our lives?"
"Can."
"Really?" The man was overjoyed, turned around and ran towards the gate, "Then I'll tell the brothers to leave right away!"
"Go ahead, you can live for two more days." I hummed.
Just hearing a splash, the man fell to the ground, got up in a hurry, ran back and cried and wailed, "Just do it, help the four of us brothers, we are just eating."
I greeted Master Zhang and Uncle Yang and continued walking inside.
"I'll show you the way, I'll show you the way!" The man rushed up and walked in front of us.
Not long after walking, a group of people hurriedly walked towards me.
"Brother Yang, this is your in-laws!" Master Zhang reminded him, then pointed to an old lady in the lead and introduced me, "That's Liu Hao's mother."
The group of people were in a hurry to go out. When Master Zhang said this, Mother Liu glanced at us.
"Who are you?" Mother Liu stopped and asked with a frown.
"My mother-in-law, it's me." Uncle Yang hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Mother Liu stared at him, probably recognizing him, and frowned, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see Xiuyu. Her mother is sick..." Uncle Yang explained.
Mother Liu didn't listen to his explanation at all and glared at the man, "My son asked you to guard the door. What do you do for food?"
"Damn it, you have to defend it yourself, I'm quitting!" The man raised his brows and yelled fiercely.
