After eating the rice, the Jiang Clan people were about to leave the temple and return home. However, Li Qing met a familiar person. This person was Wang Yan, who was Li Qing’s former colleague, and lived at the back of the temple.
Wang Yan is 45 years old. Her husband died in a car accident three years ago. Because his health had not been good for the past few years, he had already gone through internal discharge and was taking care of his grandson at home.
Recently, he felt weak all over and his face was ashen. Even if he went to the hospital, he couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
Originally, Wang Yan didn’t believe in ghosts and gods. Although she had lived next to the temple for so many years, she had never burned incense to worship Buddha. Quite a few people advised her. Others ran over ten li and still came to pay respects to the Buddha. If you didn’t go to the temple even after being so close, then the Buddha must have been angry with you.
Wang Yan didn’t think much of it if someone said so, but if there were too many people, she would believe it too. In this case, on the first day of the new year, he came to burn a stick of incense to pray for the protection of the gods.
After Jiang Chu heard what Wang Bo had to say, he couldn’t help but laugh and say: “Aunt Wang, you have to be sincere when burning incense to Buddha, even if you live in a temple, if you don’t burn incense to Buddha, the gods will not blame you.” Your body is in a bad condition, so it definitely isn’t the punishment from the gods. There should be another reason.
Hearing Jiang Chu’s words, Li Qing said: waiter, if you’re okay, then go to your Aunt Wang’s house in the afternoon to see what’s going on. If you can help, then help me out, Sister Wang, Little Chu has learnt some skills from his grandfather, if you don’t mind, then let him take a look.
After what had happened recently, Li Qing more or less knew about Jiang Chu’s situation. If his son was incapable, would the mayor personally come to invite him? How could the police chief have such a good relationship with him?
Wang Bo looked at Jiang Chu and said: Jiang Chu, you have to help Auntie see what’s going on, even if you go to the hospital you won’t be able to find anything, your body is getting worse and worse. However, how could there be any good Fengshui here? Ever since your grandfather passed away, there have not even been any fortune-tellers left in this area.
Jiang Chu laughed bitterly. It was the new year and he still wanted to go home and play mahjong. Yue Yinping had a few hundred taels of silver in her pockets.
When Yue Yinping came out, she gave her five hundred silver, and it was still lying at Jiang Chu’s place. Jiang Chu was too lazy to exchange his silver coins with her, so he gave her 10,000 yuan first.
That was just plain silver. If Jiang Chu won it for her and then lent it to her, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to ask her for help in the future.
However, since his mother had already said so, he might as well help out. The reason why Li Qing let Jiang Chu go there in the afternoon, was because after burning incense in the temple to worship Buddha, she had to go back to her own home. This way, she could bring the blessings back home and protect her family.
After eating lunch, Jiang Chu strolled out of the room, preparing to take a look at Wang Yan’s home. Before he even reached the main entrance, Yue Yinping jumped out from the house and said, “I’m coming too.”
Jiang Chu said snappily: “If you know what I’m going for, then go with me.”
Yue Yinping sneered, “Isn’t it just going to Auntie Wang’s house? I want to go and have a look too.
Are you familiar with them? And you called her Auntie Wang so affectionately.
My father said that everyone in the world is brothers, and knowing each other is fate.
Tsk, you’re really a naive person. Be careful not to get sold out in the future.
Jiang Chu walked out of his house. He didn’t rush Yue Yinping back, she wanted to follow him, since she would be living his own life in the future anyway. It would also be good to meet more people.
The two of them quickly arrived at Wang Yan’s house. Jiang Chu did not rush in, but instead stood at the door and watched.
Wang Yan’s house was at the back of the temple. The house was facing south, a total of four platforms. The kitchen was in the southeast corner. To the south of the kitchen was a toilet. The gate was in the southwest corner, and it led to a north-south road. To the south of the courtyard was the temple’s Guanyin Hall.
Originally, such a arrangement should not be a problem, but Jiang Chu found that there were two tall toon trees planted in Wang Yan’s courtyard. They were at least ten metres tall and at least forty to fifty centimeters thick.
Of these two trees, one was in the southeast corner of the courtyard, which was the west side of the toilet. The other was planted in the southwest corner of the courtyard, which was the south side of the gate.
Both trees were close to the temple, and a part of the broad crown of the tree extended into the temple. Jiang Chu used the Sky Eye to check, and did not find any traces of Evil Qi in Wang Yan’s house.
When he walked into Wang Yan’s house, he saw her sunbathing in the corridor. Beside her, there was a young boy playing. Seeing Jiang Chu and Yue Yang walk in, Wang Yan hurriedly supported herself with a chair and stood up, saying: “Jiang Chu is here, sit inside the house. I’ll get you guys a drink to drink.”
Jiang Chu quickly said: Aunt Wang, your health is not good, so don’t be busy. Sit down, I have something to ask you.
Wang Bo did not hold back and slowly sat down. Jiang Chu opened his mouth and asked: Auntie, how many years have your family planted these two trees?
These two toon trees must have been growing for seven or eight years. When they were planted, they were only as thick as an arm. It was only a few years old, but they had grown so much.
Hearing that, Jiang Chu curled his lips, and thought: A good breed? No matter how good a variety it was, it couldn’t grow so fast. An ordinary Chinese toon tree would at most have a diameter of 20 cm in about seven or eight years. These two trees were growing at an extraordinary speed.
Thinking this in his heart, he smiled and said, “Hmm, these two trees look pretty good. They are very exuberant.” Aunt Wang, what’s wrong with your body?
Wang Yan sighed and said, “Sigh, it’s been four to five years. My whole body is boring and I can’t sleep well. I only sleep four or five hours a night and I still have nightmares.”
What about Sister Ling? How is she?
The Sister Ling that Jiang Chu spoke of was Wang Yan’s daughter. He had already married and lived in Bianzhou City.
Xiao Ling’s body was still fine, but she had lost a lot of weight in the past two years. She wasn’t sick and was much better than me.
Aunt Wang, did anything abnormal happen at night? Like seeing something unclean?
No, apart from the fact that sometimes I feel a little cold, there’s nothing wrong with it. On summer evenings, neighbors like to come to our house to cool down, even cooler than air-conditioned rooms. Maybe it’s because of the two big trees. Jiang Chu, you can’t be trying to say that our family is haunted, right? How is this possible? The temple is right in front of our home, if there really is a ghost, then there must be a deity! How would a ghost dare to come to our house?
Jiang Chu couldn’t help but be taken aback when he heard this, but he didn’t directly answer Wang Yan’s question. Instead, he replied his with a question: “Aunt Wang, are you saying that you can feel the cold air under a tree on a summer’s night?
Yes, it’s like air conditioning. The wind is colder than air conditioning.
Jiang Chu opened up the Sky Eye again and looked towards the two trees. This time, he looked more carefully, and noticed that there were very faint black lines on the trees, if he did not look carefully, he would not be able to see them. Jiang Chu was suddenly enlightened and understood what was going on.
Jiang Chu stood up and laughed: Aunt Wang, I’ve found the crux of the problem. Let’s go back first and come back in the evening.
After she finished speaking, she brought Yue Yinping and left Wang Yan’s house.
However, Yue Yinping asked curiously: Second Brother, what the hell are you doing? Why are you still coming over tonight?
Silver-bottle, you’re right, it’s a trick. You’ll see it tonight. I’ll let you see what ghosts look like.
Ah? Really? Great, I’ll be damned this time.
When Yue Yinping heard that, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.
When the other Girl Children heard about ghosts, they were so scared that they quickly covered their eyes. Yet, this girl, hearing that she was able to meet a ghost, was so happy that she jumped up and down.
Just as she entered the house, Li Qing asked: waiter, did you go to your Aunt Wang’s place?
Jiang Chu smiled mysteriously and said: “Their family has a big problem, let’s talk about it later, I am not completely sure right now.”
Child, you are so mysterious. Stop messing around. If you can solve it, then settle it.
Yue Yinping suddenly interrupted: “Aunt, Second Brother said that he is going to catch a ghost tonight.”
Before he could even finish his words, Jiang Chu had already covered his mouth and laughed: “It’s nothing, Mom, don’t listen to this damned girl’s nonsense, I’m just trying to scare her.”
