Wu Song raised the knife and gave a heavy cut, then Han Zaishi became a female ghost without a head, and knelt in front of Wu Song.
And there came out of gout of blood from her severed neck.
That blood was only a shadow at the beginning, but later, it penetrated the wall and became an entity that reflected Feng Chunsheng's and my faces.
That blood gave off a vile stench.
I wiped it off with my sleeves.
After that, the female ghost, Han Zaishi, also disappeared.
Wu Song was still in the wall. He folded his hands and said: "Now the female ghost is dead and the baby ghost is dead, too, so just take care of yourself. Goodbye."
Later, Wu Song's shadow became a streak of black smoke, and went back inside the ghost tattoo on Ruan Qinse's forehead.
Ruan Qinse woke up suddenly. Her first words were: "Is that female ghost dead now?"
I pointed at her belly and said: "Check it and you'll know."
Ruan Qinse lowered her head quickly and found that her belly became flat, it became a normal woman's belly after six months. She jumped and shouted again and again, "The female ghost died!" Then sat down in a rattan chair and cried out on the desk.
I patted her on the shoulder and told her: "Sister, don't be sad. That baby was not yours, it was a ghost baby."
Ruan Qinse wiped her tears with the back of her hand, saying: "Mr. Yu, I was crying not for that baby ghost, but for the words from the Feng Shui expert. He told me I would never get pregnant."
Then she asked me again: "Do I really have no chance to get pregnant?"
"No." I didn't want to cheat her and said, pointing at Feng Chunsheng: "He also found that you have that physiognomy where you could never get pregnant all your life."
"What?" Ruan Qinse was stunned and burst into tears again.
Feng Chunsheng said: "Mrs. Ruan, you don't need to worry about that, since the Feng Shui and fate can be changed."
"Changed?" Ruan Qinse looked at Feng Chunsheng.
Feng Chunsheng took out a piece of paper and a pen. He wrote down a name and an address, then gave it to her: "Just go and find this person He has the solution."
Ruan Qinse took the paper and couldn't help but say: "The dragon-searching master, the Wind Shadow? He is living in Sanlitun, Beijing?"
"There are not many Feng Shui experts who are more excellent than him," Feng Chunsheng told Ruan Qinse: "It is easy but also hard to change fate. Anyway, you just go and turn to him, he will have the solution."
"All right."
Ruan Qinse thanked us.
To show her appreciation, she transferred an extra fifty thousand as a tip.
Now that it was finished, I had to erase the ghost tattoo for her.
That ghost tattoo was a certain kind of soul which belonged to the Yin tattoos. It would cause problem if it stayed on a human's body for a long time.
Therefore, it was also the rule to wipe away the ghost tattoo when everything was finished.
I told Ruan Qinse to sit on the chair, then I sprayed some detergent and began to wipe the tattoo.
As I wiped away each part, I had to say: "Thanks for your help today, Mr. Xu."
It was also the rule that the tattoo master should show his appreciation when the ghost tattoo helped.
The more sincerity the master showed, the more elegant the firm soul would be.
This was also the reason Liu the Sixth sold it to me at a low price. He knew I would let Xu Yi leave with such elegance.
I showed my appreciation twelve times as I wiped the tattoo away.
When we removed the tattoo completely, a man came to us.
This man was tall, with a dignified appearance. He spoke to Feng Chunsheng and me: "I am very thankful for the sincerity you have shown."
This man was Xu Yi's soul.
I nodded and said to him: "Brother Xu Yi, we will always remember you for all that you have done for us at the cost of your life."
Xu Yi was killed by a criminal in a shootout.
He smiled to me and said: "Thank you."
Then, he said: "Shui, I must ask you a favor."
"Please." I raised my hand and said.
Xu Yi said: "The first day when I became a narcotics detective, I was ready to die, and l never regretted it. Since I am dead now, I would still like to be a narcotics detective in my next life, if possible."
"You are a great man." I gave him a thumbs up.
Then he continued: "I was a common person. Now I'm dead, but there is something that has been always on my mind, so please tell my son and my wife that I have already reincarnated and live well, so just let them not worry about me."
Damn Xu Yi was such a responsible person, but he would never know his wife left him and stayed with another man, and she also left their son and eloped with the one hundred and fifty thousand.
He would never even know his wife was in love with another man on the day he was killed.
But I wouldn't tell him the truth, because I didn't want to leave him any resentment for his life, so I told him: "Ok, I heard from Liu the Sixth that you son studies well and you wife is teaching him well."
"That's good." As Xun Yi talked with me, he sniffed and said: "It seems my wife's sprit is here.
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.
