The sky gradually brightened, and thick white mist rose from all over the mountains, entangled with each other, suddenly gathered together, suddenly dispersed, rolled on the slope, and finally poured into the valley along the cool morning breeze, covering the entire village.

Outside the three steps, there is nothing, I am drowsy and chaotic, just like the heaven and earth are not separated.

Moisture gathers into dew at the tips of the grass leaves. Even if it does not rain, the dry soil on the ground will soon become wet.

The villagers got up very early, and before the rooster crowed, some elderly people who couldn't sleep had already walked out of the house, wandered on the village road, or carried a shabby bamboo basket, went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables, flipped through the chicken coop, and checked for overnight eggs.

The diligent village women were busy in the kitchen and drove the dirt-faced old cat out of the stove. The ignited firewood released the red light and heat. They steamed buns and rolls of steamed buns and cooked white porridge in the big pot, took out two bowls of pickles from the refrigerator, and cut a few salted duck eggs. The breakfast for the whole family was soon ready.

Liu Baoquan, who was called an unfilial son by the villagers, sat on the steps in front of the iron house with bloodshot eyes. His single clothes were covered with dew, but his feet were covered with cigarette butts on the floor, and the smell of smoke on his body could not dissipate.

From the moment the lights in the hall of the old house suddenly lit up, he lost all sleepiness, returned to the door, sat down all night, staring at the old house not far away.

The village party secretary's money is not so easy to owe. Liu Baoquan threw all the money he had left into the two rooms of the old house. If he couldn't make money, the old house would be paid off. He would be completely penniless and be escorted to the labor reform farm by the old party secretary, and he would work as a coolie for his whole life.

As a lazy and used to being lazy, how could he accept this kind of future? However, the newly renovated old house suddenly haunted and gave Liu Baoquan a blow, which made him regret it. It was not because he had spent the last little money, but because he regretted that he should have been filial to his own father at the beginning. Now his father is still in a state of gloom. The opportunity to make money by relying on the old house is clearly in front of him, but he has no choice.

Looking at the lights that were lit from time to time and went out without any warning, Liu Baoquan prayed silently in his heart, begging his father not to hurt innocent people, and to punish him, an unfilial son.

People's hearts are flesh. Even when they are misfortunes, they are pointed at by the villagers. In addition to the strict education of the village party secretary, this unfilial son has long felt a little regret in his heart, but his will is not determined and he will not be forced into a dead end. He can never make up his mind.

The village suddenly became lively, and many people came along the village road towards Liu Baoquan's old house. The shadows were hazy in the undispersed mist, and I don't know how many people were.

In just one night, the news that two bold young people lived in the haunted house spread throughout the village.

For example, Boss Deng and Guo Wenkai who run a farmhouse are concerned about the safety of Li Bai and Officer Xiao Wang. Other villagers want to watch the fun more. Perhaps it won’t take long before there will be another haunted rumor in the village, which will become a topic of after dinner.

It is also good to develop a haunted house attraction by the way.

Not only the villagers were alarmed, but also the tourists stayed in the village, and even the county leaders who heard the news came.

The noisy voices buzzed on the hillside, which quickly alarmed the people in the house.

Li Bai carried a towel and opened the door of the old house. Seeing the crowds of people outside the yard, he felt a little puzzled. He was not a monkey, and this place was not a zoo, so there was nothing to watch.

"Doctor Li, did you sleep well last night?"

Guo Wenkai built a stone wall and flipped in directly, opened the courtyard door, and Boss Deng, Lao Zhang and others walked in together.

"Good!"

Li Bai completely tamped the water in the towel, and the sound of Officer Xiao Wang stretching and screaming came from the guest room.

"It's so noisy, I'll go, what's going on?"

Officer Xiao Wang never thought that he would encounter strong onlookers even when he was sleeping.

"Have you ever met a ghost?"

At this moment, Liu Baoquan, whose eyes were red, spread out the crowd and rushed into the yard.

"Liu Baoquan, what's going on with you?"

Boss Deng scolded the reckless Liu Baoquan and then frowned. The guy was covered in dew and his hair was as messy as a chicken coop, but instead he looked like a living ghost mandrill, as if he had been waiting outside the old house for a night.

Li Bai guessed what these people were most concerned about, and did not keep it in hiding. He said frankly: "The ghost didn't see it, but he found something."

The crowd outside the courtyard wall exclaimed a scream.

Is the famous haunted house in the mountain village finally going to reveal the secret?

"My little comrade, have you really caught a ghost?"

The crowd parted left and right, and an old man with gray hair walked into the yard.

Boss Deng immediately introduced to Li Bai and Guo Wenkai and others: "This is the old branch secretary of our village, Deng Yuan."

Most of the villages' surnames were Deng. The old branch secretary was originally the branch secretary and the village chief. Later, the policy changes, and the village chief was appointed as a young man and promoted the college student village official, and he became a strong branch secretary and a village official.

The old branch secretary's authority in the village is still unquestionable, and everyone is convinced.

Guo Wenkai, Li Bai and others greeted the respected old man one after another.

After a brief hustle and bustle, Li Bai continued: "It's not actually a ghost, but it can be confirmed that it's them who do it."

The villagers and tourists outside the courtyard wall exclaimed again and actually discovered something unusual.

The old branch secretary, Liu Baoquan and others asked in unison: "What is it?"

"Wait!" Li Bai turned around and returned to the house, took out a mineral water bottle, and said, "It's right here."

After tearing off the packaging, there were only dozens of creepy bugs crawling in the transparent mineral water bottle. The small one was half an inch and the large one was nearly one inch. The black and brown body was oval, with yellow patterns on the abdomen and a slightly pointed head.

"What kind of bug is this?"

Guo Wenkai looked at the strange insects crawling in the bottle and was able to distinguish the insect characteristics of the six legs and the three structures of the head, chest and abdomen.

"Kiss of Death!"

Li Bai's voice was not loud, but people inside and outside the courtyard wall heard it clearly. For a moment, the flashes of the camera and mobile phones were rising one after another, and many people's hair was standing up behind them. This name alone could make people frighten nightmares.

"Kiss of Death?"

The old branch secretary was so scared that he took a step back.

"Haha, it's just nickname, also known as kissing bug, scientifically called cone bug. It likes to suck blood in people's mouth and eyes. It can suck a lot of blood at a time and sometimes it can infect diseases."

Thanks to the omnipotent Internet, Li Bai used his mobile phone to find the origin of these bugs online. In just over ten minutes, he grabbed these little vampires from the corners of the room, stuffed them into mineral water bottles, and arrested them all, which was accused of the strange blood stains on his mouth and pillow.

There may be some worms that escape the net hidden inside and outside the old house, but it is no longer a concern. If you kill them with drugs afterwards, you can completely eliminate hidden dangers.

"So it's a bug!"

Old Secretary Deng breathed a sigh of relief. Since he had caught the Yuan evil spirit, even if Liu Baoquan's old house was not a haunted house, this guy could finally make some money.

Thinking that he had been sucked by these insects, Liu Baoquan couldn't help but shivered, but he had other questions in his heart and hurriedly continued to ask: "Then why does the lights flicker and darker? Is it the ones that caused the bugs?"

"This is a man-made, or a mistake. There is a problem with the quality of the switch in the house, and the wires are not laid properly. After a long time, the light will automatically light up or the short circuit will suddenly go out."

Li Bai handed Guo Wenkai the mineral water bottle containing the "Kiss of Death" and asked them to pass it on. The mineral water bottle was quickly transferred to the outside of the yard.

"So that's how it is!" Old Secretary Deng nodded, turned to Boss Deng and said, "Alai, find tools to remove those switches, and then find Achun and ask him to check the circuit here to protect it."

"Okay!"

Boss Deng immediately took out his phone to find A Chun, an electrician in the village.

Liu Baoquan, the owner of the old house, rushed to get the screwdriver. The two of them took a few steps and removed several switches. They smashed them with stones and saw that the reed inside had signs of ablation.

Achun, who was carrying the toolbox, looked through the switches that were smashed open, shook his head and said, "It's a copycat, and the copper pieces inside are all burnt."

The old branch secretary said angrily: "Is it Boss Ma who cuts corners?"

Thinking that the village also has his own accountability for acceptance, if there is a problem with cutting corners, he will not be able to escape responsibility, Achun hurriedly said: "It's not Boss Ma, he is not buying this brand."

Liu Baoquan's old face turned red and he stammered: "I bought the switch in the town, one for one, who knows that there is no good product for cheap."

The switches purchased by the village are at least four yuan per company. Liu Baoquan doesn’t have much capital and wants to save a lot of money. He bought bargains from a small hardware store, but unexpectedly, something went wrong, which scared himself and others.

Electrician Achun carefully checked the lines of the old house and found two bumps. Because there were too many jobs in the village, he was in a hurry to work and was pierced by air nails. The pine strips on the ceiling were missing a drying procedure when they left the factory. As a result, they were damp and expanded at night, causing bumps.

Speaking of which, in addition to the "Kiss of Death" cone bug, many coincidences have been put together, turning this old house into a scary haunted house.
