The light in the room was not good. Zhuang Youjie glanced over and thought he was dazzled.
So he took a closer look and realized that it was true, there was a red liquid oozing out of the statue, like fresh blood.
The blood flowed more and more, even flowing out along the shrine.
"Oh!"
After understanding this scene, he jumped back in fright, hid behind Liang Yuanque and shouted.
"What the hell? Are there rats?"
Liang Yuanque was confused and looked at his eyes, and was stunned immediately.
My mother-in-law and grandma must have really messed with some kind of god, right?
Liang Yuanque thought to himself, I'm just pretending, God, please don't send something real to make trouble with me!
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. When Zhuang Youjie shouted, everyone noticed the strange statue.
My cousin-in-law was so frightened that she gasped and asked in a tearful voice, "Yes, is Guifen showing up?"
As she spoke, she looked at Huang Jingye as if asking for help, while Huang Jingye looked at Liang Yuanque.
Yes, in this whole room, the one who is most courageous is Liang Yuanque.
He had no choice but to bravely walk over. There was a candle burning in front of the shrine. As he moved, the flickering candle kept beating.
Not sure if it was a psychological effect, but Liang Yuanque felt that the liquid on the statue was a bit pungent.
This is a statue of Avalokitesvara, which is not unusual for it to appear in Sister Huang’s room.
After taking a closer look, Liang Yuanque discovered that the red liquid on the Guanyin statue seemed a little thinner and more transparent than blood.
It looked like blood diluted with water, but of course it was more likely that it wasn't blood at all.
Liang Yuanque reached out and wiped a handful, put it under his nose and smelled it. The smell was indeed pungent.
This should be the smell of some kind of chemical. Liang Yuanque didn't go to school and didn't know much about such high-end things.
After thinking about it, he stuck out his tongue and took a sip of the liquid on his hand.
"Hey! What if it's poisonous?"
Zhuang Youjie was shocked when he saw his actions.
"It's okay," Liang Yuanque said indifferently, "The poison won't kill me."
After tasting it, he had a judgment about the liquid, so he turned around and called Zhuang Youjie,
"Teacher Zhuang, come here and take a look."
Zhuang Youjie was a little uneasy, but he still passed by, and Liang Yuanque stretched out his liquid-stained fingers in front of him.
He was startled and subconsciously hid behind, but was caught by Liang Yuanque.
"Teacher Zhuang, do you know chemistry?"
"Lie, understand a little bit." Zhuang Youjie said to himself that I am a liberal arts teacher.
However, he is also a new era college student, and he has also been exposed to the subject of chemistry.
When Liang Yuanque said this, he felt that this was not blood, but some kind of chemical solvent.
He leaned over and smelled it. He knew that it was difficult to judge accurately just by smelling it, but he didn't dare to taste it directly with his mouth like Liang Yuanque did, so he asked him,
"What does it taste like when you eat it?"
"It's quite salty and irritating to the tongue."
Zhuang Youjie took some liquid from his hand and said, "Maybe this is litmus solvent."
Liang Yuanque nodded, "I feel the same, but I can't judge directly."
Litmus can be used as a reagent to test the acidity and alkalinity of substances in chemical experiments. Maybe they can push it back and use some substances with determined acidic and alkaline properties to determine whether it is a litmus solvent.
"We have to get something alkaline or acidic to test." Zhuang Youjie said.
Liang Yuanque thought for a while, "Let's take a pee and test it?"
This is the first time that Zhuang Youjie was speechless by Liang Yuanque, "Brother, we can go to the kitchen and get some alkaline noodles!"
If this is indeed litmus solvent, and now it turns red, it means it has come into contact with an acidic substance.
This Guanyin statue must have been standing here untouched. Where did it come into contact with acidic substances?
Liang Yuanque thought and turned his gaze to the flickering candle.
He remembered that when he came yesterday, the candles in the shrine had not been lit yet.
He walked over, picked up a candle, put it under his nose and smelled it.
Sure enough, the pungent smell he asked about in the first place did not come from the liquid on the Guanyin statue, but from the burning candle.
"Did you light this candle?"
He held a candle and asked Huang Jingye.
Huang Jingye nodded, "Last night we kept a light for the night vigil. I didn't have time to go out and buy candles, so I took the candles from the shrine and lit them."
When someone dies here, there are usually rules for keeping a wake. People who are more modest will light some candles as long-lasting lamps during the wake, with the intention of illuminating the deceased's path to reincarnation.
Last night, Huang Jingye lit a lamp for Sister Huang. At dawn, he could just blow it out, but he always felt that blowing out the candle had a bad meaning, so he put the lit candle back into the shrine.
Some kind of acidic substance was mixed into this candle. As the candle was lit, the substance was evaporated and blew onto the Guanyin statue coated with litmus solvent.
As a result, the litmus solvent turns red and looks like the Buddha is bleeding.
The person who designed this trick is still a cultural person, and he cannot pull this off without any academic level.
This trick has no practical significance, and it seems to be just to scare people. So who would set up such a scary situation?
It can't be Huang Jingye. Not to mention that he looks confused now, he had no motive in the first place.
Did he do this to scare himself, or to scare Liang Yuanque?
If he wanted to scare Mr. Song, he would have to find a way to bring Mr. Song into the inner courtyard.
Is it possible that there is still a group of people in this Song residence who are on the opposite side of the Song family?
Liang Yuanque took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then threw it to Zhuang Youjie and asked him to wipe it too.
Huang Jingye came up to him, "Sir, what's going on?"
"It's definitely not a ghost, someone is causing trouble."
As he said that, Liang Yuanque thought of the scene where the window in Xiaolian's room fell down.
And someone just came to report that the plaque on the door of the Song family suddenly fell off.
This is someone pretending to be a ghost, not for them, but for Mr. Song.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuanque made a fist with his hand, put it to his lips and coughed lightly,
"I gotta go check out that window that fell down."
With that said, he was about to lift his feet and leave when a violent cough hit him.
Before he coughed out, his lungs had already begun to spasm. He just coughed lightly because he wanted to hold back, but he didn't expect it to get out of hand.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
A violent cough caused his body to tremble. He squatted down and curled up. This state made him feel better.
Huang Jingye hurriedly knelt down to check on him, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuang Youjie thought something was wrong and rushed over. He saw dark and thick blood dripping from the fingers of Liang Yuanque's hand that was tightly covering his mouth!
