Chapter 52 The Ghost Haunted House
I was a little flustered, I didn’t know what to say.
Li Xiangbo asked me: “Am I different from others?”
I thought for a while and told him: “Indeed.”
I told Li Xiangbo that back when he told me about his problem, I felt it was not about physiological reasons but it was actually a psychological problem.
It was all because of the psychological toll.
So I just gave him that tattoo of “a pillar to hold up the sky”, and told him seriously that everything was OK for him.
Then he believed what I said and thought that everything was OK, so when he tried again that afternoon, the result was very good.
Because it was just a kind of “psychological conditioning”. For example, Li Xiangbo now had to say to himself: “I am OK now due to the tattoo.”
With this conditioning, Li Xiangbo had gotten rid of this psychological problem very quickly.
Thus, he was now as he used to be, and became active again due to this indication.
Then, I showed Li Xiangbo my Alipay account. I was not showing off, I just gave him some active psychological conditioning- there were many people with problems, but they quickly recovered after I gave them a tattoo.
So that Li Xiangbo could believe me more deeply.
With such psychological suggestion, Li Xiangbo had opened the knot and now he could recover naturally.
However, there was a disadvantage, too, since this method was only for those who had psychological problems.
Those who were behind him might not have the same problem. Maybe it was because of a hormonal problem or physiological defects, so how could I deal with it?
“Oh.” After my words, Li Xiangbo said to me: “You are really a genius.. It was such an amazing method.”
“Thus, I can only cure you, but not the others,” I smiled.
Li Xiangbo shook immediately: “Oh, that’s bad.. How canI clean this up when I gave them so much hope but you couldn’t cure them?”
“Clean? You do it by yourself, it’s you own mess and you have to clean it up by yourself, do you understand?” I patted him on the shoulder and blamed him: “You were not supposed to be so, you could go and enjoy yourself after your problem had been solved. Please don’t show off everywhere. Well, that’s all. See you later.”
“I.. I just.” He was very embarrassment.
I didn’t care about this. I went inside to call Feng Chunsheng, then called a taxi and got ready to go to Ruan Qinse’s house–the Paint Pen Garden Villa.
It was a very expensive villa community. One would cost fifteen million, excluding the decorating costs.
When we arrived there, I called Ruan Qinse.
“Hello, sister Ruan?” I asked her with a smile.
She also replied with a smile: “Oh, you are so busy even so late. Well, Mr. Yu, I will call the security guard and let you in, I live in the 25th block.”
“OK.”Feng Chunsheng and I waited at the gate.
Eventually, the security guard told us to enter.
Feng Chunsheng was holding the black cat. I helped him with the compass and went into the villa.
It was a straight road to the 25th block, it took us only several minutes to get there.
When we arrived at the gate of the 25th block, the black cat in Feng Chunsheng’s arms cried out.
“Meow .”
The clear meowing broke the night sky of the quiet Villa.
Feng Chunsheng stopped suddenly. He stopped me: “Shui, stop.”
“Why?” I asked him.
“There must be something wrong in the house, since the black cat cried in the evening,” he told me to give him the compass.
I gave that mahogany compass to him very quickly.
Feng Chunsheng put the cat on the floor and held up the compass. It was only a short while before he spoke: “Shui.. Damn, this is such an amazing place.”
“But you told me it was not so evil here, right?” I asked him.
Feng Chunsheng pointed at the compass and said: “Look at this pinhead, it is sinking and can’t lift up, just like “alarmed pinhead”. There must be something very ominous. Let’s get out of here, now! Or else, it will be too late.”
I was angry when I heard what he said. I pointed at him: “What can I say to you, Feng Chunsheng? We shouldn’t have promise her earlier if we didn’t want to come. Now how can we retreat, since we have already arrived? You want to escape?”
“But this..”He pointed at the compass and the black cat that dared not to move at all and spoke to me: “How dare you enter such an ominous place?”
“Just be brave and careful; we have to go since we promised.” Then I took his hands and entered the house.
Feng Chunsheng hung his hands there and didn’t dare to come with me; I had to pull and push him into the house.
When he entered the villa, he became elegant and forced himself to be in high spirits. We met Ruan Qinse together.
Ruan Qinse greeted us: “So, there you are.”
It was late in the evening, but she dressed herself with thick powder. Might it be because she was expecting company?
“Follow me please, there’s a tea room upstairs,” she said.
We followed her.
After only several steps, we heard the sizzling. It was like the buzz of an electric current, but not so clear.
Then the light in the villa flashed suddenly.
Ruan Qinse turned and said with a forced smile: “It was rather hot recently, the power is not stable here and that’s why it’s like this.”
I replied and said it was OK.
So we three went inside the tea room on the second floor.
I was sitting with Feng Chunsheng and Ruan Qinse was sitting opposite us.
“So, any ideas for my problems?” she asked.
I smiled: “It’s ok, we are doing Yin and Yang business now, so we can manage everything. Now, let’s talk about the payment.”
“One hundred and twenty thousand.” She brought up ate a cup and passed it to me.
To be honest, I was shaking a little, not because of fear, but excitement.
I had never done such business with anybody before.
“How about the price?” she asked me.
I nodded and replied: “The price is OK for us.”
“That’s good.” Then Ruan Qinse said: “So, what is my problem? I have also turned to some charlatans, and they told me that I wouldn’t have a baby in the future because of my bad life, but how could I believe this? This year, we got a house here and I was really pregnant.”
“When did you get this house?” I asked her.
She thought for a while and said: “I got the house half a year ago and it was right at that time that I got pregnant.”
“Oh, OK”, I nodded, then my phone rang.
I took out the phone and found it was from Feng Chunsheng.
He was sitting beside me, so why did he send me the message? Maybe it was something that couldn’t be spoken out in her presence.
I smiled to her and checked the message secretly.
In the message, Feng Chunsheng said: “those swindlers were right—Ruan Qinse has high eyebrows with narrow tips, her nose is sharp but not hooked, the philtrum is wide but with a thin gap.. In Feng Shui, this would be called ‘Childless Physiognomy’. She will never have any kids in her life.”
I just about got Feng Chunshen’s meaning.. A woman that could never get pregnant, in this house.. There had to be something wrong with this house.
It was a ghost embryo, so did it start when she became pregnant? Was it caused by the ghost in this house?
I was a little afraid to imagine and glanced at him.
Feng Chunsheng remained smiling but he sent me a message secretly.
It was only two words- “Ghost house!”
This villa was a ghost house.
This just made my hair stand on end.
I looked at my watch subconsciously. It was almost twelve.
Ruan Qinse asked me again: “Well, masters, what is wrong with me? There must be a reason, since I spent one hundred and twenty thousand.”
“Ahem,” Feng Chunsheng coughed and said: “we will check for you after twelve. The result will be more accurate.”
“Ok, I will wait, it’s almost time.” Ruan Qinse said with a strange smile.
I looked at the watch again, it was twelve o’clock sharp.
Then the lights in the house started flashing.
Click, click..
The lights were flickering in the house.
I looked up and asked Ruan Qinse nervously, ”Why is the power here so unstable?”
I found a problem before I finished my words.
The light was flickering.
When it was bright, it was Ruan Qinse in front of us.
But when the light was out, I could see clearly.. It was never Ruan Qinse who sat opposite me.. It was a thin and sharp face with some black hair.
However, we couldn’t see clearly when it was dark. Maybe it was only the first impression when I said there was long black hair on her face.
“Hee, hee, hee, hee.”
Ruan Qinse was laughing again, but she was making two kinds of sounds, one was slightly rough and it came from her, the other was very sharp, and it was never from her.
I couldn’t stand it any longer, then I received another message from Feng Chunsheng.
“Come on, brother, just be brave and careful; let me show you now.. just calm down, the ghost is afraid of humans like us. If we are too nervous, the ghost will know it and will kill us here.”
I immediately strived to maintain an appearance of calm.
Feng Chunsheng coughed and said: “The ghost in the house must be on Mrs. Ruan, right? Well, just show yourself.”
“Hee,” Ruan Qinse stood up and it became completely dark in the house.
I could see her shadow. She was enchanting, with a gracefully slender figure
She stretched out her right hand and beckoned us:”Come on, enjoy yourselves with me, we have plenty of time.”
Suddenly a very shrill singing voice came out from her throat.
It sounded as if it came from an old compact disk player.
