Chapter 378: The Gambler (24)
We were faced with a new question, whose corpse was in the basement of Silly Qiang's house? Whenever I think about this long-standing question, I lose sleep completely. I thought I was waiting for the results of the test, but I didn't expect to wait for the news that the identity of the deceased could not be confirmed.
The sky is dark, and the night falls. Because Bai Xuanzhi wanted to discuss the case with Brother Yang at the police station, I was the only one who came back by car. I deliberately detoured to the Taiping intersection and walked another alley, and some troubles could be avoided.
When I was about to get to the entrance of the community, I stopped. Because there was a kid blocking the entrance, he was squatting there with his back to me, not knowing what he was playing. Whose child is it? It's dark and you don't want to go home? Are you lost? Such a young child may be lost with his family!
With a hint of doubt, I walked over and asked, "Child, where are your parents?" Are you lost?" Because I don't know the child, I can't get too close to people, so I keep an appropriate distance from him.
He heard my voice and turned his head, and when I saw it, my heart was startled. This face is familiar, this face is white and colorless. The first thing that came to my mind was: It's miserable! I met those things again! The first thing I thought of was to run away, to escape from here! Just as I turned around and opened my legs, the little boy behind me spoke, "Sister, don't be afraid, I won't harm you, I'm ...... Just wanted to ask you for a favor!"
I turned around, looked at the "little boy" in front of me, took a few steps back, pretended to be calm, and replied politely: "People and ghosts have different paths, we have nothing to talk about." You are already a ghost, why do you still want to stay in the world? This world no longer belongs to you, you should hurry back to your world. "I want to convince him to get out of here.
I saw him shake his head, his face sad, "I can't get out of here......! I want to see my grandma!" he said pleadingly, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. Now it was my turn to be silent. I remember Bai Xuanzhi said that you must not casually respond to the requests of ghosts, because their greed is endless, and when you encounter such a situation, you must resolutely refuse. Don't make a deal with the spirits, because you don't know what they really want, or they want you to be their stand-in.
"No, I don't negotiate terms with ghosts. I rejected him outright. I thought he would retreat and leave here, but I didn't expect him to be completely unexpected, not only did he leave, but he hugged my feet and cried loudly. Now it's my turn to be dumbfounded! What is the situation now? I was haunted by a little ghost, and he held my feet and wept bitterly, as if I were a wicked bully. I'm in a dilemma right now!
"Don't cry, okay? It's like I'm bullying you. Why do you want to find me? If you want to see your grandmother, then go to her, I'm not your grandmother, so you don't have to pester me like this, right?" I said in a rather impatient tone, and to be honest, I didn't want to pay attention to it at all. What if this is another trap? There are so many liars these days that neither humans nor ghosts can be easily trusted. What's more, I haven't met him, let alone his grandmother. Fortunately, there was not a single pedestrian on this path, and if people saw me talking to myself, wouldn't I be a madman?
"If you don't promise me, I'...... I'll just rely on you and won't let you go!" This little ghost simply let go of his cruel words, intending to entangle with me like this! My heart suddenly collapsed, what is the matter? I didn't even let me live on the way home, and I didn't let people live! Especially this kind of little devil who played tricks, it was useless to reason with him, he was simply playing the piano to the cow.
"Little ghost, is your surname Lai? You can play Laipi like this, you ...... Let it go!, or I'll be able to call someone!" I refused to give in at all, and the ugly words were ahead, and I had to cure this little ghost's temperament.
"Don't let go, don't let go, you call someone, I'll ...... I'll bite you!" he went up to the next level. I was speechless, and I couldn't speak. This is enough to prove that my ability to cause trouble has been strengthened again. I feel a faint sadness for my "ability". I couldn't move, so I just sat on the ground. At this time, if someone walks by, they will think that I am a mentally challenged person, you can imagine what it is like to sit alone in the middle of the road and mutter, I am afraid that a mentally disturbed person will do this!
"Little ghost, can we negotiate, you can at least let me go to the stone bench over there and sit down! "I have almost no choice but to come up with what I think is feasible, hoping that the imp will agree to my little request. Just as I was thinking about how to do it, the imp spoke, "No, unless you promise me first." I smiled, trying to figure out the little imp sitting at my feet. I tried to use my suckling strength, shaking my feet to shake one of the "Rippy Dogs" to the ground. I tried my best to suppress the raging fire in my heart. However, it did not work at all. It's like a layer of super glue on my feet, and no matter how much I try to break free, it won't help. Seeing that I was helpless, he enjoyed it.
It was the first time I had encountered such a situation, and I was at a loss for a while. Do you want to intimidate him? But what to do with intimidation? The teacher didn't talk about this! I thought about the useful information, and it seemed that there was no archive of this in my head. I was so amused by this "Laipi" imp that I really didn't know what to do? I had to smile wryly and say, "Okay! I surrendered! What do you want me to do, declare in advance that I will not do anything illegal. ”
When he heard this, he smiled. I have a sad face, and I don't know what's going on, but now I really responded to Bai Xuanzhi's crow's mouth, and my ability to cause trouble is increasing day by day. I didn't expect that I deliberately took a detour and still couldn't escape the arrangement of fate. I have a word of suffering, and I am miserable. I just encountered this situation, I should have run away as soon as possible, and I didn't hesitate for a minute, maybe it was too late to run away. At least there is no need for follow-up plot development, let alone being "threatened" by this little ghost.
Now it's okay, but there is another trouble, Chen Jin's matter has not yet been settled, and I have to find grandma for this little ghost, I ...... Who am I provoking? Of course, I can only hold these words in my heart and say them to myself. The little ghost is also quite conscientious, so I went to a stone bench not far away to sit and talk, so that at least I don't have to sit in the middle of the path and live like a beggar. The little ghost was standing in front of me, because there was a street lamp shining here, much clearer than the dark and silent path just now, and now I looked carefully at the little ghost in front of me, his appearance was really familiar, giving me a sense of déjà vu, but I couldn't be sure.
