Chapter 27 Feng Shui Master
Shirley Lai’s father passed away a long time ago.
Before he passed away, Shirley Lai’s father always emphasized that Shirley Lai should live in the room with the talismans pasted on the walls.
However, Shirley’s mother never believed in supernatural things, so she didn’t take the talismans and the mirror to heart.
But when she returned home and saw the scorched wall and the missing talismans, Shirley’s mother realized that her daughter might have really encountered a ghost.
“Nizi? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, fine, thanks to this big brother for his timely intervention.”
As Shirley Lai spoke, she shifted her gaze to Liu Haoyu’s face.
This man’s appearance was exactly the same as the ghost she had encountered before.
No, it should be said that the ghost was impersonating his face to deceive her.
“Thank you, thank you so much!”
After all, Shirley’s mother had lived with Shirley Lai’s father for so long that she could tell at a glance that Liu Haoyu had an unusual aura about him.
This person must also be some kind of Feng Shui Master or Daoist priest.
“You’re welcome.”
Liu Haoyu waved his hand. He wasn’t very interested in these everyday matters. More importantly, he wanted to go upstairs to check Shirley Lai’s room.
“Oh! I almost forgot,” Shirley’s mother patted her forehead. “How can I just stand at the door? Master, what’s your name? It’s cold outside, come in and sit down and chat.”
“Okay.”
Liu Haoyu was originally worried about how to sneak in with someone else around. Since the other party invited him, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
The three entered the house and sat at the round table.
After a short while, Shirley Lai’s mother heated up several large zongzi, peeled them, and placed them on a plate.
“It’s late at night, and there’s no time to cook, so have some zongzi.”
Shirley Lai, who had been frightened, was already hungry. She picked up a bowl, grabbed a large piece of zongzi, and ate it heartily.
Liu Haoyu took a look and also picked up a piece.
It tasted pretty good.
The little ghost beside him was almost crying with envy.
The three sat around the dining table, eating zongzi together happily late at night.
Well… it was still quite creepy.
Although Shirley Lai had encountered a ghost before, on the surface, she seemed much calmer.
“Although it might be a bit presumptuous, may I ask one thing?”
“Please, go ahead.”
Shirley’s mother could roughly guess Liu Haoyu’s identity, so her tone was very respectful.
“What was Shirley Lai’s father’s profession?”
It was impolite to pry into other people’s wounds, but Liu Haoyu knew that this was the only way to figure out why Gu Qianyang wanted to kill Shirley Lai.
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s question, Shirley Lai’s mother’s expression was not very good.
After recalling carefully, she said with great emotion.
“Shirley Lai’s father’s ancestors have always been in the Feng Shui business. He always helped others inspect graves and residences. I don’t understand these intricacies, but it should be similar to you, young man, dealing with ghosts.”
Hearing this, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but straighten his posture.
People who practice Feng Shui are indeed very likely to provoke fierce ghosts.
And according to the Black Book, Shirley Lai’s ancestors were related to the ritual that year. Could it be because of this reason?
Then how did he die?
This question was difficult to ask directly, so Liu Haoyu could only close his mouth and change the topic to something else.
They chatted casually, and time quickly passed to eleven o’clock.
Seeing that it was late, Shirley’s mother stood up and said to Liu Haoyu.
“Master, it’s so late, why don’t you stay here for the night? I’m still a bit worried about Nizi’s safety.”
You have to say, they really are mother and daughter.
How could they let down their guard so easily for someone they had only met briefly?
Liu Haoyu sighed and said.
“As an outsider, it’s not appropriate for me to stay. I’ll go upstairs with Shirley Lai to her room to take a look. If there are no problems, I’ll have to leave.”
“So late…”
Shirley’s mother still wanted to say something, but Shirley Lai stopped her.
“Mom…”
To say that Shirley Lai wasn’t scared at all would be a lie.
But she couldn’t force Liu Haoyu to stay.
Although the house had three floors, only two bedrooms had beds and quilts. She couldn’t let him sleep on the floor, could she?
“It’s okay, I should be fine after I check it,” Liu Haoyu turned slightly and asked Shirley Lai, who was shy and a little shy. “Can you take me to the place where you encountered the ghost?”
“Okay.”
Shirley Lai walked in front of Liu Haoyu. She first went up to the third floor and pointed to the room not far away where cured meat was hung.
“This is where I recently found the ghost. The dark shadow has eaten several pieces of cured meat.”
After hearing this, Liu Haoyu entered the room and examined the aura inside. Besides the smell of cured meat filling the room… there was indeed the smell of death.
In other words, what Shirley Lai encountered here should be the old man next door who had been dead for several days.
It was not the ghost-faced old man.
“Also, I encountered a ghost in my room too.”
Seeing that Liu Haoyu had finished his inspection, Shirley Lai went down to the second floor and cautiously opened her room door.
The room was pitch black. She clearly hadn’t turned off the light before leaving, but now the light inside was off.
This made the young girl a little scared.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu directly pushed the door open and walked in.
As for why the light in this room was off, it was because the first time he came looking for someone, he entered this room, but couldn’t find anyone and didn’t see any ghosts.
And he had a good habit of turning off the lights when he left.
After entering the room, Shirley Lai began to tell Liu Haoyu about her experience of encountering a ghost here.
As for Qin Liu, this bored little ghost, she went to the computer.
Because Shirley Lai had left in a hurry, the computer had not been turned off, and the screen was frozen in her father’s folder.
Even without clicking into it, just by looking at the names of these files, Qin Liu knew that Shirley Lai’s father was indeed a very powerful Feng Shui Master.
What made him powerful was that… the things in these folders looked very impressive.
She couldn’t understand any of it at all.
Qin Liu pretended to “understand everything” and stroked her chin.
However, while browsing through these files, Shirley Lai also came to the computer.
She pointed at the computer screen and said.
“When I realized something was wrong, I was about to look through my father’s things to save myself, and then I saw a very strange photo…”
As she spoke, the young girl sat on the chair, trying to find that photo.
However, when she clicked into the folder, she found that the photo from before was already gone.
She looked at the computer astonishingly and refreshed it repeatedly to confirm.
“It’s gone, that photo is gone!”
