Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 150 Confidence
Ran Qing lied calmly, making up a lie that his father was going to die.

I don't feel any guilt at all.

And these words are not entirely false.

If that invisible monster really sets its sights on Ran Jianfei, this selfish and mean middle-aged man will not have many days left to live.

Ran Qing had figured it out on the way back from the hospital.

A lot of what Ran Jianfei said was bullshit, but what he said today was very true.

Ran Qing should make good use of the last two or three months.

Ran Qing’s choice was not to sit and wait for death, but to seek a way to survive in the last moments of his life.

After leaving the house, Ran Qing chatted with Long Zongshu.

But before Ran Qing came back, Xiaomianhua had already talked a lot with Long Zongshu.

Ran Qing and Long Zongshu chatted for a while, and Long Zongshu understood the situation of this classmate.

When Long Zongshu heard that Ran Qing and the others were going to Huaga Tiankeng, his eyes widened.

"Huaga Tiankeng? I know where it is. My hometown, Shiyuanzi, is not far from Huaga Tiankeng. I have a cousin who lives in Tianmen Village, Huaga Township."

"When I was a kid, I heard them talk about the legend of Huaga Tiankeng."

"When are you leaving? I'll take you to Tianmen Village and ask my cousin to lead the way."

Long Zongshu was very eager to help lead the way.

Ran Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "But you have to go to school tomorrow..."

Tomorrow is Monday, and No. 3 Middle School still has one week of classes before it goes on vacation until next Wednesday.

Ran Qing couldn't wait that long.

He had dreamed last night that the character "命" arrived at Huaga Tiankeng. Later he would go to Lao Yangpi to ask about the location of Hu Laosan's grave. He would set off at the latest tomorrow.

Long Zongshu shook his head and said, "It's okay. I can also ask for leave. The holiday will be in a few days anyway."

Ran Qing looked at him suspiciously and asked, "You want to ask for leave? How do you ask for it?"

He is an excellent student and Teacher Jin's favorite, so he has some small privileges.

In addition, Ran Jianfei was hit by a car, which was something the head teacher knew about. Ran Qing asked for leave using the excuse that his father was dying, so Teacher Jin naturally would not doubt it.

However, Long Zongshu was a marginal figure in the class. He was criticized publicly by Teacher Jin many times because he was obsessed with various martial arts novels and neglected his studies.

Teacher Jin was very dissatisfied with this skinny and stupid guy.

Teacher Jin thought that even though this guy read novels and neglected his studies, he could still only get a mid-to-low ranking in the elite class of the city's top three middle schools. If he could study hard and put his energy away from reading novels into studying, he would at least be a candidate for a key university.

Ran Qing, an excellent student, asked for leave, and Teacher Jin approved it without any doubt.

But if Long Zongshu made up a random excuse to ask for leave, Teacher Jin would scold him and call his parents to verify it.

Ran Qing persuaded Long Zongshu with tactful words, although it would indeed be a good thing if Long Zongshu came to help.

But it was his own business, and he didn't want to drag this classmate, with whom he had an average relationship, into risk.

"Give me your cousin's name and contact information, and I'll go find him to help lead the way."

Ran Qing said so.

But Long Zongshu shook his head and insisted: "I'll go back and tell my mother to ask her to help me ask for leave."

"As long as she knows it's your family's business, my mother will definitely agree."

"Without Uncle Ran bringing my father's body back, our family wouldn't even be able to bury him. This is a huge favor."

Long Zongshu said this seriously and was about to get up and leave to discuss this matter with his mother at home.

Ran Qing watched him leave without stopping him.

Long Zongshu is still the same Long Zongshu, a little silly and naive.

If his mother knew that going to Huaga Tiankeng is so dangerous, there is no way she would agree.

"Let's go, let's go find Old Sheepskin."

Since he could ride Mo Li's motorcycle, Ran Qing didn't plan to squeeze into the minibus.

That stinky minibus made Ran Qing feel nauseous every time it got close to him.

Although Mo Li's motorcycle is noisy, at least it doesn't smell.

But the girl shook her head and said, "How dare I go on the road in the city in broad daylight? Let's take a minibus." The girl didn't dare to ride a motorcycle in the city during the day.

Ran Qing had no choice but to take a minibus to Changba.

The minibus, filled with a mixture of diesel smell and various dull odors, wobbled along for an hour before arriving at the dam.

After getting off the stinking minibus, Ran Qing stood on the side of the road for a long time, feeling as if he was almost being marinated by the stench.

No matter how many times he takes it, for him who suffers from motion sickness, this smelly, shaky old minibus is torture.

In Lao Yangpi's yard, Lao Yangpi, who had lost an eye and looked rough like a bandit, was sitting under a tree weaving bamboo strips, as if he was making a body frame for a paper man.

Old Sheepskin was a little surprised to see Ran Qing and the other man coming to his house.

"Boss Ran? So early today..."

Ran Qing, carrying a canvas bag, said, "Please take me to see Hu Laosan's grave."

First find out the situation of the cemetery, and then decide whether to hold a ceremony to ask the ghosts.

Hu Laosan was involved in this strange incident, and Ran Qing was worried that his grave would be disturbed after his death.

If Hu Laosan's grave had been disturbed by the evildoer behind the copper coin, perhaps this clue would have been lost...

Ran Qing was a little worried and eager to confirm.

Although he knew that Hu Laosan had been dead for so long, if someone had really moved his grave, it would have been moved long ago.

But he still wanted to visit the grave as soon as possible.

Old Sheepskin didn't dare to delay and quickly put away the paper people and paper horses. He went into the house and changed into a clean and decent set of clothes. Then he closed the door and left with Ran Qing and Mo Li.

"The place where Hu Laosan was buried is a bit far away. Mainly because his family didn't have much money, so they just gave him a small piece of land."

"I heard that Feng Shui masters are just randomly hired and don't spend much money."

"He's a pickpocket out there, always swindling people and cheating them. His family hates him very much."

Old Sheepskin explained the situation and quickly led Ran Qing and the others into the forest beside the dam.

They walked in the mountains for more than an hour. The mountain road was not steep. It was walked on by people and a path had been trampled out in the forest.

The three of them finally came to a low stone. Even someone who didn't understand Feng Shui could tell that the terrain was not very good.

It seems a bit depressing and cramped.

Old Sheepskin pointed to a simple new grave and said, "This is Hu Laosan's grave."

There were no stones, not even a tombstone.

This grave stands alone in the woods, simply formed into a mound of earth.

"Boss Ran, take your time to study. I'll be waiting for you over there," Old Sheepskin left with a smile on his face, very tactful.

I didn't dare to stay and ask about the ghost walker's abilities.

Only Ran Qing and Mo Li were left in front of the simple grave mound.

The two looked at each other, and the girl's expression was a little solemn.

"...Have you discovered anything?" the girl asked.

Ran Qing glanced at her: "What?"

"No one has tampered with this grave," the girl looked at the simple grave mound in front of her and walked around it carefully twice.

It is easy to tell at a glance whether someone has tampered with such a simple grave mound.

Ran Qing stood in front of the grave mound, looking at the grave mound that had not been moved since the burial and was intact, without any joy on his face.

This way, the grave mound, which had not been moved by anyone, would be convenient for him to summon souls and ask ghosts.

But this situation was far beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that after Hu Laosan's death, the mastermind behind the spread of the copper coins would come to erase this clue, or at least do something about it...

Under the scorching afternoon sun, the girl stood by the grave and whispered.

"It seems that the mastermind behind this is very confident."

"It's not afraid of being tracked down..."
