Chapter 8: The Wraith
As soon as Baoyu entered the courtyard, he found Jingzhu standing on both sides of the well with his feet spread apart, hunched over, holding a twine the thickness of an adult's thumb with his small hands, alternately pulling up a bucket of water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The well platform is about a foot high, and there is still some snow on it that has not been cleaned, and the wooden barrel of this iron hoop is very heavy, and Jingzhu is a little girl who is not fully adult, which seems to be very difficult, Baoyu felt that something was wrong for a while, so he quickened his pace and walked over.
When Jingzhu heard someone approaching, he turned his head, and his hand suddenly slipped, and the rope shrank into the well with a "whoosh".
"Oops!" Jingzhu subconsciously grabbed the well rope, but he didn't expect his body to stumble, so he fell into the well, and Baoyu rushed up and grabbed Jingzhu's arm.
But Jingzhu's feet had already slipped into the well at this time, and his body began to fall downward, and Baoyu was also in a posture of rushing forward, how could he still control this kind of force.
"Ahh
"Sting..."Jing Zhu's soft arm quickly slipped through Baoyu's hand.
Baoyu hurriedly grabbed it hard, just clasped Jingzhu's hand, and was carried by her to the well, he felt his body collide back and forth on the wall of the well, and then "poof!", and fell into the water.
Immediately, Baoyu touched Jingzhu's soft body, and a strong desire made his consciousness more sober, and a huge force erupted from his body, pushing Jingzhu upwards with force.
Jingzhu was also instinctively struggling upward, Baoyu lifted her higher and higher, and finally put her feet on her shoulders, and suddenly there was a light on it, Jingzhu seemed to have grasped something, and her body did not sink again.
Baoyu felt uncomfortable at this time, so he subconsciously opened his mouth to breathe, but who knew that he sucked in a large well water, and the huge pain of choking made him blindfolded all of a sudden, and he inhaled a few more well water uncontrollably, and then his consciousness began to blur.
Baoyu felt like he had entered a long dream, the people and scenery in the dream were changing back and forth like a marquee, he wanted to grasp something, but he felt so overwhelmed.
Anyway, the feeling of extreme helplessness and despair, accompanied by endless sadness, as if he was just a pawn, unable to control his fate in the slightest, even his own body, began to rise in his heart with a strong belief that forced him to wake up from the nightmare.
Finally, after a lot of effort, he opened his eyes again, and slowly stood up, feeling as if he had been relieved of a thousand burdens, and his whole body was extremely relaxed.
Baoyu found himself standing in a white space, with no heaven or earth, not even any physical objects to touch, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, not knowing where he had been.
"Is it too void again?" For Baoyu, who has already fused Jia Yihong's memories, all the stories in "Dream of Red Mansions" no longer have any secrets for him.
"Second Master..."Just as Baoyu was stepping forward and was about to take a look, a girl dressed in white walked out of the white light.
When Baoyu saw this girl, she was shocked: "Jin Chu'er..."
Jin Chu'er's figure was light and fluttering, and her expression was faint, so she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry, if she hadn't spoken, she would have thought it was a paper cut.
Baoyu's heart was shocked: "Jin Chu'er, why are you here?"
"I can be here, it's not because of the second master..."Jin Chu'er's voice sounded lukewarm, and there was a sense of space, as if it came from an old-fashioned TV.
When Baoyu heard this, she suddenly felt very guilty, and thought to herself, when she made a joke, she caused Jin Chu'er to die, she suddenly found herself, could it be that she came to ask for her life?
Jin Chu'er said: "What a merry boy who has not changed his life, it is time to come, and he has not forgotten to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but why was he so cruel to me at the beginning..."
"I..." Baoyu looked embarrassed, not knowing how to respond, Jin Chu'er was right, in addition to her, there was also Qingwen, who was belittled and died tragically, but he did nothing, and regretted it when he thought about it.
Jin Chu'er suddenly laughed "poof", like a painting coming to life: "The second master is a big man, who dares to ask for your life easily, it's just that he happened to run into it..."
Baoyu was a little speechless, this girl, isn't this pretending to be a ghost and scary, so she asked, "I happened to meet ?... I guess I just fell into the well, how did you get here?"
"Second master, have you forgotten that I also fell into the well, but I did it on purpose, so we met..."
Baoyu immediately realized that this Jin Chu'er was playing a ghost and had been dead for several years, so she was naturally a real ghost, but she was jumping in the well in Jiafu at the beginning, how could she run to the well of the "Narcissus Nunnery" again.
Moreover, in the place where they were at this moment, there was no water at all, and it looked like some kind of well, so they asked: "You should be a ghost, maybe I am also dead, this is the underworld..."
Jin Chu'er grinned again: "The second master really thinks that whoever wants to go to the Netherworld can go, then it must be led by the ghost envoy, otherwise, there will not be so many lonely souls and wild ghosts in the world, but... Second Master... You're dead, and now you're a ghost, like me..."
Baoyu thought to herself, this girl is still coming to scare me, who hasn't died, besides, this feeling of being a ghost seems to be quite good, so she also smiled: "Sister Jin Chu'er, you have been dead for so many years, why haven't you gone to the underworld to reincarnate, have you never met the ghost envoy, or, have you been waiting for me to come, so that you can take revenge?"
Jin Chu'er immediately frowned, and her eyes were also full of sadness: "I want to come, but I was wronged and threw myself into the well to die, and my soul always has a resentment in my soul, which cannot be dissipated, and I can't enter the underworld at all, so I have to become a wandering spirit, wandering around the world..."
Baoyu looked at Jin Chu'er's sad appearance, as if she saw the grievances, grief and helplessness when she threw herself into the well, and blamed herself in her heart, so she put away the joke mentality just now, bowed deeply to Jin Chu'er, and sincerely apologized: "Miss Jin Chu'er, you are all light-hearted in the next moment, and you will be wronged, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely compensate you twice..."
"Second master..."Jin Chu'er's voice trembled a little, and her eyes became shiny, but she wanted to cry but had no tears, because although the soul had emotions, how could she shed tears if she didn't eat grains.
Suddenly, a black gas came out from the top of Jin Chu'er's head, and then dissipated, Jin Chu'er's expression gradually changed from sad to surprised: "Second Master, what you said just now made my resentment completely dissipate... Actually, since you burned incense by the well that day, I don't hate you, but for some reason, I can't spit out the resentment in my heart..."
Seeing that Jin Chu'er had finally resolved her grievances, Baoyu was also happy in her heart, and said: "Miss Jin Chu'er, since this is the case, then you should hurry up and find the ghost envoy and go to the underworld to reincarnate, if you can see you again in the next life, I will definitely make up for the debt owed to you... Oh yes, I forgot, I'm a ghost now, why don't we go find the ghost messenger together, and I'll try my best to take care of you on the way, so that those perverts and evil ghosts don't bully you..."
Jin Chu'er pouted: "Second master, you call me Jin Chu'er's sister for a while, and Jin Chu'er girl for a while, who am I?"
Baoyu thought to herself, if calculated according to Jin Chu'er's age when she died, she didn't seem to be as old as her, but when she died, would she continue to count the age of the yang world, so she smiled again: "You have been a ghost for many years, you can't count your age, I am older than you now..."
However, seeing that Jin Chu'er's mouth was still pouting, Baoyu compromised: "Okay, Sister Jin Chu'er..."
Who knows, when Jin Chu'er heard this, she was even more unhappy: "Are people so old?"
Baoyu was a little out of temper, why these girls couldn't even change their stinky nature as ghosts, so they had to say: "Okay, whatever you want me to call you, I'll call you anything..."
Jin Chu'er suddenly smiled again: "Second Master, I think..."
However, before the words could be spoken, her little face turned red, and she didn't know what she was going to say, and after a while, she suddenly covered her mouth and grinned again: "Second master, I teased you just now, in fact, you are not dead yet..."
"Ahh
