Chapter 358: The Gambler (4)
He looked up, and I saw a flash of confusion in his sunken eyes and dull eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info out of politeness, I just smiled and nodded at him. The rain showed no signs of stopping, but fell more and more without concern, as if to wash away the disturbances and anger of the world. I looked at the hazy world, and for a moment my heart became in a trance. There was an inexplicable sentimentality in my heart, and I didn't understand where this strange and unique emotion came from or why.
Perhaps, in front of the Creator, we are all small and like a speck of dust in the desert, dispensable, meet people, those who are destined will be remembered in our hearts, and those who are not destined are just passing by. Rain is a magic potion that can trigger people's inner feelings, and many inexplicable emotions will always come to mind at this moment, whether it is happy, sad, or angry, all of them arouse people's lovesickness because of the touch of rain.
Looking at his haggard face, I suddenly sympathized with the middle-aged man in front of me, his gray clothes became more and more dim in the rain. The silence for a few seconds left me in such a quandary that I even wanted to brave the heavy rain to escape from here.
"Have you seen my child? my child......" he muttered to himself, his eyes staring at me as if he were unfocused, his voice as if it had been transmitted directly into my mind with additional magical power, and before I could fully think about it, I blurted out, "No, I didn't see your child." "I couldn't even think it was obvious when I said this. After waiting for a long time, the middle-aged man shook his head as if he had been stimulated by some kind ......of stimulus, and kept babbling: "My child, where are they, where are they?" I saw that he seemed to be a little abnormal, and he didn't want to pay more attention to the question.
The moment I turned my head, he rushed to me like crazy, grabbed my wrist roughly, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and even his tone of voice was a little vicious, and he yelled at me: "You have to help me find my child, or I will pester you every day and make you uneasy." Before I could react, he let go of my wrist, turned around, and walked into the peaceful intersection that never saw the light of day, and I shouted to him, "Wait a minute, you can't go in there...... but he didn't seem to hear me, and entered the alley without looking back. I ran to the entrance of Taiping Road, trying to persuade the middle-aged man, but where else was there a figure in front of me? The deserted, silent path was mixed with a deadly aura, I can't say specifically, but I felt that my body was suddenly pricked by something, and the pain was incomparable.
I took a few steps back, and ducked far away, letting the rain whipped at my skin, much better than staying in the path and feeling the smell of death. I looked left and right, there was no one around, and it was as quiet as the end of the world where I was alone. In the path, several vague figures appeared swaying, swaying shadows, as if fused with the rain that was intertwined into a web, they ...... Approaching the exit. At this time, who will appear in the rain? My first instinct was to run and flee from here.
Aside from my long legs, I rushed forward with no hope for my life, even though I was relentlessly whipped in the face, hands and feet by the heavy rain, the most important thing was to escape from here and from that alley. My gut told me that if I stayed for a second longer, it would be the end of my life. Ran home in one breath, rang the doorbell, Bai Xuanzhi opened the door, and saw that I was wet like a victim who had escaped from the war, he was quite taken aback, pulled me into the house, and asked me to take a hot shower and change clothes.
It wasn't until the hot water scalded my skin that I felt alive. Ever since I met that middle-aged man, I have always felt chills, and that kind of cold penetrates into my bones, shivering with cold, and I don't know what to do. I didn't even smile at all, or maybe I forgot how to smile, my head was groggy like someone who hadn't woken up yet, and I just opened my eyes and looked at the world numbly. When I think of that alley, when I think of the middle-aged man I met in the rain, his sunken eyes, godless eyes, and purple lips, it makes people shudder, and these make me extremely afraid.
The scene I had just remembered repeatedly, the figure, the figure that disappeared in the rain, and the few vague shadows that swayed in the rain, all of which kept me in a never-ending state of trouble, unable to escape the fear of fear.
After taking a shower, blowing dry my hair, I walked slowly to the sofa and sat down. At this time, Bai Xuanzhi was also busy, and he couldn't bear it anymore, since I entered the door, he had been paying attention to the change in my expression. However, when I sat down, he saw a bruise on my wrist, and he was startled and asked, "How did you get this bruise?"
I looked at my wrist, and then I noticed a large bruise on my wrist, I thought about it in confusion, tilted my head, and suddenly I suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Is it that time?"
"You...... What's going on again?" The voice was very slight, and Bai Xuanzhi sighed softly, a little helpless. This time, I did not hesitate to explain the situation in its entirety. Bai Xuanzhi's face gradually became ugly, his frowning brow made me feel a burst of panic, and from his expression, I clearly saw the signs of impending disaster. It can't be so evil, right? I screamed inwardly, hoping that there would be some kind of basket.
After listening to my explanation, he didn't move again. After thinking for a while, he sighed. The atmosphere was stiff and made me feel uncomfortable. After waiting quietly for a long time, I couldn't help but ask, "Is this a serious matter?" and he looked at me and nodded affirmatively.
"Don't you know that middle-aged man is a ghost?" Bai Xuanzhi was looking at me intently, his face was serious. My whole body shook like an electric shock, and I don't know if it was because of his problem or if I really felt a little chilly, and I suddenly became a little emotional, "You mean...... Is that a ghost?"
"Rainy days are the most prevalent time for filth, to put it simply, wet weather is the easiest time to breed filth, rainy days are extremely cloudy weather, many filthy demons appear in this kind of weather, bad luck, people who bump into it, it is difficult to escape. If you're lucky, you bumped into it, and it was a serious illness at most. Moreover, a person with a physique like yours usually provokes those dirty things, not to mention that in this kind of weather, it is simply sending sheep into the tiger's mouth and committing suicide. ”
