“Hmm!”
Qin Yuesheng, who hadn't encountered anything sneaky or weird for some time, suddenly had his eyes brightened.
This is where things start to get interesting.
Perhaps because something was really weird going on in the inn, the customer base was very low, with only a few guests to be seen. Qin Yuesheng wandered around the lobby holding a toad to ward off evil spirits. Based on the fluctuating and ever-changing pattern of the evil energy value on the glass plate, he quickly determined that the source of the evil energy was in the backyard of the inn.
But when Qin Yuesheng was about to go into the backyard to take a look, two waiters immediately came over and said, "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight? The backyard is where our boss lives, and we don't allow you in on weekdays. Please forgive me."
"Stay in the hotel." Qin Yuesheng put away the evil-repelling toad and said, "I think the layout of your inn is quite strange. It looks creepy. I wonder what happened."
The waiter smiled unnaturally and said, "Look at what you said, sir. If we keep this place open even if something happens, wouldn't that be harmful to others? Don't worry, those talismans were specially bought by our boss to pray to the Bodhisattva for a child."
"Oh." Qin Yuesheng responded meaningfully. Without exposing the truth, he asked the other party to arrange a room for him and began to prepare to stay.
…
There is a small sacrificial hall in the backyard of the inn.
"Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you." Song Qiu Sheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. On the small altar in front of him, there was a statue of Guanyin wrapped in red cloth.
This Guanyin has a treacherous face, with no mercy in her eyes, but rather full of cruelty.
Song Qiu Sheng kowtowed five times honestly, then stood up to light incense and burn it. His movements were smooth and his attitude was extremely sincere.
Song Qiu Sheng is the only child in the Song family, and the family has been the only heir for four generations. However, even so, his fathers and grandparents were able to have children before the age of forty, but this did not work for Song Qiu Sheng.
Now fifty-four years old, Song Qiu Sheng has one wife and three concubines, but none of them has been able to give birth to a child for him over the years. This has worried him a lot. He has tried all kinds of secret recipes and old remedies over the years.
Drinking, eating, manipulating, inserting needles, feng shui... there are many ways and means.
But even so, there was still no progress, and year after year, Song Qiu Sheng was worried.
Three months ago, a Bodhisattva suddenly became popular in Chengshan City. No one knew where this Bodhisattva came from, but everyone said that this Bodhisattva was very effective and that as long as one sincerely worshipped the Bodhisattva at home, all wishes would be granted.
In order to try his luck, Song Qiu Sheng spent money to buy a statue of Bodhisattva. It must be said that this Bodhisattva was really effective. Within thirty days after he bought it, his wife and one of his concubines were pregnant!
This made Song Qiu Sheng so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. In their Song family, there had never been two children born in one generation.
In this way, Song Qiu Sheng was even more sincere and diligent in his worship of this Bodhisattva.
Although the appearance of this Bodhisattva is different from what the public sees, and it inevitably gives people a gloomy and weird feeling, the good news that his wives and concubines are pregnant one after another makes Song Qiu Sheng ignore these things.
After offering incense, Song Qiu Sheng clasped his hands together devoutly, bowed three times, and then walked out of the hall.
He didn't notice that the moment he walked out of the door, the eyes of the Bodhisattva statue wrapped in red cloth suddenly flashed red, and the evil smile at the corner of its mouth became even more curved.
At night.
On the quiet street, Li Ding was carrying two jars of wine and walking towards Yixianglou. As the largest brothel in Chengshan City, Yixianglou had a huge consumption of wine. Li Ding was originally a handyman in Yixianglou. Seeing that there was not enough wine tonight, his husband urged him to go out to the winery to buy some wine and come back as soon as possible after buying it.
On the dark street, except for a few shops that had long been closed and the lanterns were still emitting light, the lighting on the entire street was very dim, and only the outline of the road surface in the distance could be vaguely seen.
Li Ding grew up in the city. He had walked through every street and alley in Chengshan City, and had often gone out for a stroll at night. Naturally, he was not afraid of walking at night.
As he walked, this guy even whistled a tune with his mouth, which made him look quite leisurely.
"Sir, could you please stop for a moment?"
Suddenly, a somewhat gentle female voice sounded. Li Ding was stunned and looked around in a strange manner.
Young Master? Is there anyone else here besides me?
Generally speaking, the word "gongzi" is used to refer to young men who look rich or scholars. Li Ding could not read a single word and came from a poor family, so the word "gongzi" had nothing to do with him.
"Sir, stop looking. I'm talking about you."
When Li Ding looked around, he saw a woman standing in a corner not far away, staring at him. Due to the dim light, Li Ding could only see her long hair and blue dress, but he couldn't see anything else clearly.
"Miss, do you want to talk to me about something?" Li Ding asked curiously.
"Sir, I've twisted my ankle and can't walk. It's dark here, and it's so deserted that no one is passing by. I've been here for a long time. Could you please give me a hand? When I get back to my place, I'll definitely thank you for your help."
The woman's voice was charming and sweet, very appealing to the ear. Li Ding had worked as a handyman in Yixianglou for many years, but he had never heard such a moving voice. For a moment, he had no other thoughts in his mind and simply nodded and said, "Okay, okay, miss, I'll be right there."
