Chapter 13: The Wraith

Carrying the straddle bag, Chu Xiao and Yu Yan left the bamboo forest. When the www.biquge.info stepped on the highway again, he glanced around, and Chu Xiao said with a little emotion: "Although I grew up in this city, I really haven't seen Pingtian Lake well......"

"Then let's take a walk around the lake often."

"Okay, next time we can get a bicycle and ride along this road for five or six hours, going around the whole inner lake......

Seeing Yu Yan smiling as if she agreed, Chu Xiao suddenly became interested, she turned around and pointed to the bend in front of her, and then said: "Let's look in front of it, walk forward, and then we will walk back, so that it shouldn't be too dark, and it's not too late to go back to cooking." ”

"Okay."

Blowing the evening lake breeze, Chu Xiao and Yu Xi continued to walk for almost a kilometer, and the trees on both sides of the highway suddenly dispersed, Chu Xiao only felt that his eyes were much brighter all of a sudden, and his vision became very wide.

"It's a lake on both sides! Wow......"

After looking at the left and right for a while, Chu Xiao only felt that the water surface connected the sky with mist in the distance, and he couldn't see the end of the lake.

"Yes......" Yu Yan replied to Chu Xiao's words, but her eyes were biased towards the person who appeared in front of her.

"Isn't that uncle cold? This is to ...... Spring swimming? Chu Xiao also looked over with Yu Huan's eyes, but she had been looking elsewhere just now, so she didn't notice that the man appeared suddenly.

From the back, the man seemed to be walking along the shore of the lake, but for some reason, he was wearing a big pair of shorts, as if he was in the middle of summer, and I couldn't help but feel a strange feeling at the beginning of the morning.

Logically speaking, after all, from a distance, Chu Xiao's voice was not too loud, and the man should not be able to hear it, but as if he felt it, he turned his head suddenly, and then smiled weirdly, as if he was going to come over to Chu Xiao and Yu Yan.

A pale and puffy dead face that looked like it had been blistered was instantly reflected in Chu Xiao's pupils, and as soon as her scalp was numb, she immediately turned her head and turned her face to Yu Yan.

After the moment of fright, Chu Xiao looked at Yu Huan, the panic on her face had not completely subsided, she was silent, but she wanted to say in her heart: "Why is it so coincidental that when you came here, you met a filthy spirit?" Yu Yan hurriedly accepted him! ”

"Don't be afraid, it's a resentful spirit."

Yu Ming's indifferent smile carried something of comfort, and immediately, she took out the red ribbon wood carving from her jacket pocket, and immediately raised it towards the resentful spirit.

"Oh......" Chu Xiao's whole person calmed down completely.

It turned out that he had made a mistake, and Chu Xiao didn't know what the difference between that filthy spirit and a resentful spirit was. I remember that last time Yu Xi said that resentful spirits would not harm people, but when I thought about it carefully, Chu Xiao felt very strange. Last time, Yu Yan took away Old Man Liu's soul, which means that Old Man Liu's soul has become a filthy spirit, but why does this harmless resentful spirit look so terrible, but Old Man Liu's appearance of the filthy spirit is not scary at all?

After the resentful spirit saw the wood carving in Yu Yan's hand, there seemed to be a faint sense of loss in his weird smile, and he didn't mean to go to Yu Yan's side, but turned around and walked forward. Suddenly, after walking a few steps, he jumped into the lake.

When the man jumped into the water, Chu Xiao saw a big splash on the surface of the lake, but she didn't hear any sound of water. Puzzled, Chu Xiao couldn't help but look at a few passers-by who were riding electric cars and walking, and she found that the passers-by did not react in any surprise, so she concluded that they definitely did not notice the slightest abnormality on the surface of the lake.

In Chu Xiao's thoughts, the resentful spirit jumped into the water, and it should have disappeared into the water calmly, but now what she saw in front of her was that the body of the resentful spirit splashed some water, which would not have made Chu Xiao feel anything strange, but she didn't understand, why there was no splash but no sound of entering the water?

Chu Xiao immediately thought about it: there is a heavenly eye, so you can see the resentful spirit and the splash he stirred, but you don't hear the sound, does that mean that if you want to hear the sound of the resentful spirit entering the water, you have to have a heavenly ear? But I've heard of Shunfeng Ear, but I really haven't heard anyone say that there is a Heavenly Ear. Could it be that no matter what the soul does, it can't actually make a sound?

The experience of being in the gap in the space was vivid again, and Chu Xiao remembered that at that time, whether those resentful spirits were laughing with their mouths open or doing other actions, they never made any sound from beginning to end. Come to think of it, not to mention all the souls, at least the voice can't be reflected in the resentful spirits.

"Silent ......" was still immersed in the picture of the man entering the water, and something suddenly passed by Chu Xiao's side, and the blurred image of "Uh......" disappeared in an instant, Chu Xiao only felt a very weak but cold wind passing by, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Don't be afraid, it's just for fun." Yu Yan looked at Chu Xiao and explained, after speaking, she looked at the sky, and then turned in the direction of going back, "It looks like she drowned only last year, and the resentment has hardly dissipated."

Looking at the resentful spirit's appearance of being blistered in water, it really looked like it drowned while swimming in the summer. Since it is an abnormal birth, old age, sickness and death, the resentment of the soul is also something that Chu Xiao can understand. It's just that how did Yu Yan see that the resentment on that resentful spirit had not yet dissipated? Aside from its somewhat scary appearance, are there any other distinguishing features on that wraith? What is the basis on which to judge that resentment is such an abstract and invisible thing that has not yet dissipated?

"How do you see that his resentment hasn't dissipated?" Chu Xiao began to walk back with Yu Yan, and she asked curiously.

"Did you smell anything special just now?"

"A special smell?"

Unconsciously felt the air, but then Chu Xiao reacted that Yu Yan asked just now, indicating that there must be no such smell now, so he secretly laughed at himself for being stupid and then continued: "Maybe I didn't care if I smelled it, you tell me what kind of special smell it is, I'll recall." ”

"The smell is very ......faint," Yu Yan paused, her face showed a thought, and after a moment, she continued: "It's a little close to the smell of burnt nails, and when you smell it carefully, you may still have a stuffy feeling in your heart." ”

"The smell of burning nails?"

Confused and even more embarrassed, Chu Xiao couldn't help but complain a little in his heart: What is this description? Where have I ever smelled burning nails? I don't even know what it smells like when my nails are burnt, so how do I associate it? And the air here has always been very fresh, not even watery, if there is any burnt smell just now, your nose should be easy to smell, but why don't you feel it at all?

"Stuffy ......" Chu Xiao tried to find memories on the stuffiness, but she had always felt that her mood was very open, and the evening lake breeze had begun to blow a little chilly, so she didn't feel a trace of stuffiness, so Chu Xiao had no choice but to shake her head, "I think I shouldn't have smelled the special smell you said." ”
