Chapter 11: The Strange Inn

Bai Ming'an turned the string of Buddha beads on his wrist and said softly, "Your friend should have been captured by them." ”

Caught? I hurriedly asked, "So where will she be?" ”

Bai Ming'an nodded: "It's in this old photo." ”

Yes?

Mingzhu she was sucked in? I stared at the photo in my hand in amazement, a little unreceptive to the news.

Bai Ming'an's people had already arrived at the door: "What are you still doing?" ”

"Oh, here we are." I hurriedly followed.

I took Bai Ming'an to Mingzhu's apartment, of course, secretly, and was released on bail, I don't want to be locked up again so soon.

When I entered the living room, I looked around and found no trace of the frame.

"Did someone take it?" I guessed.

Bai Ming'an followed the door, standing still in front of the wall, with one hand in his pocket, his face was indifferent, and his posture and expression did not change.

I leaned over curiously: "You've been looking at it for so long, do you find anything?" ”

Bai Ming'an's expression was light, he turned his head to look at the sky outside, and said, "It's not time yet." ”

When, when? I didn't understand, so I asked him, "Have you found something, tell me about it?" ”

Bai Ming'an walked away, regardless of the crime scene, and sat down directly on the sofa.

The god is mysterious, he doesn't say a word to me, and he really thinks of himself as a superior. I followed with a pouting and sat down on the other end of the couch.

In this way, the two sat quietly until noon. I got up countless times, and he ignored people, so I wandered around the apartment by myself, trying to find some clues.

Bai Ming'an sat quietly at first, but then simply closed his eyes and recuperated.

Finding nothing, I went back to the living room and sat down, staring at the fair and handsome face opposite, which was not pleasing to the eye.

"Hey, are you asleep?" I don't have a good airway.

Bai Ming'an still closed his eyes and replied lightly: "Wait a little longer." ”

Mingzhu's whereabouts are unknown, and there is no progress in front of him, but he is still tepid and the world is peaceful, and I am very angry when I see it. I yelled at him, "Wait? Wait any longer and it will be dark. ”

"It's getting dark." As he spoke, the sunlight outside the window suddenly disappeared, and the living room without the lights was instantly dimmed.

Bai Ming'an's eyes opened at this moment, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his dark eyes: "It's finally here." ”

I'm inexplicable, isn't it just a dark cloud covering the sun, what's coming?

Bai Ming'an stood up: "Let's go." ”

"Where?" I hurried to follow, only to see him come to the wall again, bite his finger and drip blood on the ground, only a few drops of blood, but somehow he wiped it with his toes, and immediately wiped a circle.

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

Bai Ming'an didn't answer me, he first stood in that circle, then took off the string of Buddhist beads on his left wrist, and pulled it casually, and the bead string that was originally only wrist thick became the length of a prayer bead, which made me very surprised.

Bai Ming'an held the rosary in his hand, closed his eyes, and said words in his mouth, not in plain language, and I discerned it for a while and found that I couldn't understand it at all.

As he chanted in a low voice, the air flow in the living room changed, and a breeze blew on the ground, the wind was invisible but made people feel extremely powerful, and gradually he turned the rosary faster and faster, and the tone of the chanting became heavier and heavier.

Suddenly, the breeze turned into a blade, and slashed at the wall, making a sharp slash.

"Oh my God, that picture frame ......" I stared at the picture frame emerging from the knife marks in amazement, unable to believe my eyes.

It turned out that the picture frame was hidden in the wall, so it was no wonder that I couldn't find it when I searched through the apartment.

I rushed over and grabbed the frame, afraid that it would disappear again in the blink of an eye. Taking off the frame, I turned to Bai Ming'an and shouted, "I got it, ...... quickly"

My words dissipated into the air, and I looked down in astonishment, and found that my body began to rapidly become transparent, from my feet all the way up, from my legs, waist, shoulders, to my chin.

"Help me!" As I shouted the last words, the top of my head was drowned in the transparency.

With a bang, the frame fell inside.

……

"Girl, girl?" Someone is calling in your ears.

I opened my eyes and saw an enlarged face, and I jumped up in fright: "Wow, who are you!" ”

The man smiled warmly: "Girl, you're awake, it's great." Thirsty, come, drink water. She handed over a ceramic teacup.

I didn't answer, but looked at her in surprise. The woman was about thirty years old, wearing a long gown from the late Qing Dynasty, and her hair was combed into a woman's bun pinned to the back of her head, and a silver hairpin was inserted on it.

The clothes and hairstyles are also too traverse. Am I not in Mingzhu's apartment, where is this and who is this woman?

Holding the teacup and not waiting for me to answer it, the woman called out a few more times: "Girl, girl? ”

I came back to my senses, wary, and quietly took the teacup and asked, "What is this place?" ”

The woman smiled gently, and at some point there was an extra rag in her hand, and she bent down slightly to wipe it on the table. "This is the Tongle Inn, the girl is a guest of the accommodation, don't you remember?"

I took advantage of her inattention, poured the tea behind my back, and turned over the bottom of the teacup to look, only to see that it was indeed engraved with the name of the emperor in the late Qing Dynasty.

I frowned, looked up and met the woman's eyes, and when I met them, I suddenly noticed that her eyes were very bright.

She was......

I blinked and asked, "Are you the hostess of the inn?" ”

"yes." The woman showed enthusiasm, neatly cleaned up the table, twisted her waist and walked out, "Yo, it's time for dinner." Girl, wait a minute, I'll go see if the meal is ready. ”

"Hmm." I stepped down and stared at her until her back disappeared around the corner.

With my hands on the wooden door, I was nervous and excited. You can't be wrong, that woman is one of a man and a woman in the photo, Bai Ming'an said that these two are ghosts, and they attached them to the old photo and captured Mingzhu.

I clenched the door frame and looked left and right, and there was no one around. Although I don't know how I got in the photo, the situation of Mingzhu is unknown, and Bai Ming'an doesn't know when he will come, so I can't wait.

Biting my lower lip, I quietly walked out the door.

I've watched some court dramas before, and there are also a lot of scenes where modern people go to stay in folk inns after crossing over, and with sporadic memories, I groped in various guest rooms. It really happened that the missing pearl was found in the fourth room.

Mingzhu was wearing a bright red dress, she was lying on the bed, her long wavy hair was scattered at the head of the bed, her eyes were closed, and there was a strange weirdness in combination with the eerie atmosphere of this inn.

"Mingzhu, wake up." I lay on the head of the bed and gently patted her face.

Reaching out and touching the skin on her face, I felt that the temperature was a little low, and I frowned and touched her sleeveless long skirt and exposed arms, which were also cold. It's strange, even if your skin is exposed, it shouldn't be so cold.

"Pearl, Pearl!" I pushed and shoved, but I couldn't respond to how much I called her.

She lay there silently, quietly, as if she were a sleeping beauty in the story.
