Chapter 10 When no one is silent in the middle of the night
Quiescence.
Deathly silence.
Dark.
Don't look for the darkness at the edge.
There seems to be an invisible hand, which is quietly tightening the air around it, and the few crows that suddenly appear are sinking into the sea, silent for a long time, but Ji Hongxiang only feels that a thin and numb cool air winds up her back, and the inexplicable uneasiness is like a maggot on the tarsal bones-
The crow crows, and woe comes.
This was originally a folk proverb, and even in the world of cultivation, there is such a saying in ordinary people's homes.
However, this is not a lie. The crow is a saprophagous animal......
Ji Hongxiang shook her head, trying to slide her mind in a bright direction.
The night is still very atmospheric, for example-
The sound of wind and rain comes at night, and the flowers fall to know how much;
On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach;
On the seventh day of the seventh month, when no one whispered in the middle of the night......
She read and read, slowly savoring the last sentence, and felt more and more that it was wrong-
In the middle of the night, when no one whispers......
Midnight...... Uninhabited......
Whisper......
Time......
Where does the whispering come from without people?
In the middle of the night, when no one whispers...... It's like ......
In the middle of the night, there is no one - when the corpse speaks!
She was chilled by her imagination, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, and looked ahead, and saw Chunxi hanging the lantern on the door panel, and the lantern flickered, and the orange light flickered faintly, and flickered, and hit a pale face.
It was a woman's face.
"Ah!!!!!!!!!h
Haruki screamed and fell to the ground.
The woman spoke: "Chunxi? ā
It turned out to be like a goose!
Chunxi stroked his chest and began to complain: "In the middle of the night, what are you doing here!" Scared the hell out of me! ā
When Chunxi shouted, Ji Hongxiang ran over, saw that it was a false alarm, exhaled, and counted the two of them with his waist in his arms: "What are you two doing?" Do you have to wake up the whole house? ā
Chunxi also said: "How did I know there was another person here!" It's pitch black, why don't you light a lantern? ā
Ruyan's face was pale, her lips were chapped and white, she rubbed her shoulders up and down, her voice was a little fluttering, and she leaned on the wooden pillar as if she had no bones...... Blew out the lantern...... IāI'm afraid of the dark, and I've been here for a long time...... It's so cold and windy......"
Ji Hongxiang saw that she didn't look right, so she hurriedly took off her coat and put it on her, covering her hands to keep her warm. When I touched it, I found that Ruyan's hands were cold, stiff like stones, and the green tendons on the back of his hands had turned purple.
Chunxi put the lantern away and solved his physiological problems.
Ji Hongmakeup had to hold on to Ruyan, enduring the smell and waiting at the door.
Tonight's thatched hut stinks.
Ji Hongxiang cast a wind spirit trick with one hand, silently dispelling the stench around her.
Ruyan shivered coldly, her lips turned white, and she said in a daze: "Wind ...... The wind is coming again...... It's cold...... ...... cold" Ji Hongxiang was taken aback by her, almost thinking that she had been discovered, and then realized that she was talking about cold, and after thinking about it, she said, "Why don't you go back to the house and rest." The short stretch of road ahead is dark, just walk through the corridor to the west. ā
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Ruyan's voice suddenly hurry: "I can't go!" Don't leave! Such as-" Her voice stopped abruptly, staring directly at Ji Hong's makeup, slowly revealing a hideous smile, and she asked nervously again-
"Has the wind stopped?"
Her voice was so low that it was as if she had lost all her strength.
A trace of chill slowly spread to the Tianling Gai at an unquestionable speed, and Ji Hongxiang felt that a clear and audible sound came from her chest, shaking her chest.
Knock knock, knock knock.
Ji Hongxiang didn't know where this weird feeling came from, and when she came back to her senses, she had already prepared her strongest attack technique so far.
"Has the wind stopped?"
Ruyan asked again, and she repeated stubbornly, as if she had to have an answer.
Ji Hongxiang replied tentatively: "Wind ...... Stopped. ā
Ruyan suddenly showed a strange smile at her, and then fell straight down.
When Chunxi came out, I saw Ji Hong's face constantly changing, and then her voice came from my ears-
"The goose fainted."
Ji Hongxiang frowned, thought about it again, and decided not to tell Chunxi about these weirdness, she had a dark feeling that this bad thing would not end like this, and she needed to know if her bad feeling was real.
Chunxi was surprised: "She fainted? Oh my God, she can't be freezing cold, right? I just saw her shiver with cold! She and Ji Hongmakeup helped Ruyan up, and she touched Ruyan's forehead: "It's a little cold......"
Ji Hongxiang saw Ruyan's eyelids move, and then opened her eyes in confusion: "Red makeup? Spring joy? I...... What's wrong with me? ā
Ji Hongxiang carefully examined the emotions in her eyes, and found that she couldn't see anything except a dark one.
"Do you remember the question you just asked me?"
Ruyan looked a little timid, and she slurred, "I...... What did I ask...... IāI don't remember. Her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at Ji Hongxiang.
"You sense something is wrong with you, right? I don't remember anything about what happened just now? Don't know why you're here? Ji Hongxiang said coldly.
Ruyan's pupils shrank instantly, and she said in a trembling voice: "I, am I sick again today?" ā
"Onset?" Ji Hongxiang asked suspiciously. At this time, Chunxi roughly knew what the two were talking about, and she interjected: "Did you sleep very well at night, and then the next morning you found that you woke up in a strange place, and you don't even have a memory of how you got to that place?" She stared at Ruyan in amazement: "I've heard people say that this is soul loss!" ā
Lost souls? Ji Hongmakeup slowly smacked the word, it should mean sleepwalking, right?
Is your feeling wrong?
Ruyan saw that his secret was revealed, and immediately begged the two of them: "Please don't tell it!" Otherwise, I will be kicked out of Mufu! ā
Ji Hongxiang and Chunxi glanced at each other and nodded, they are naturally not the kind of people who chew their tongues and play with people everywhere.
It was late at night, and Ruyan said goodbye to the two and prepared to go back to her room.
Ji Hongxiang still didn't give up after thinking about it, she asked Chunxi to go back first, and she followed Ruyan.
"Red makeup? Why don't you go back to your room? ā
"I'm a little worried, what if you get sick again halfway?" Ji Hongxiang said that in the face of Ruyan's moving gaze, she was a little weak-hearted.
The two of them walked in the night road, very silent, and Ji Hongxiang suddenly remembered the voice she had heard before.
If Ruyan's strange behavior is due to her peculiar sleepwalking, then what is the strange cry she heard? Could it be that she is sleepwalking too?!
She paused.
"You just ...... Do you hear the crows? ā
Ji Hongxiang felt a little cold when she heard her voice.
"I didn't hear that! Where did the crows come from in Mufu? ā
"Really? It was when Haruki first went to the toilet. ā
"It's quiet."
"But I heard it."
"Actually, it's the sound of a crow......"
"Huh......" Ji Hongxiang often breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that it's really not an illusion......
Ruyan on the side suddenly said, "I'm here, you go back." ā
Ji Hongxiang nodded: "Good night." ā
*
When Ji Hongxiang came back, Chunxi didn't fall asleep, she always felt that she stepped on something round and slimy when she went to the toilet, weird and disgusting, and said good night to Ji Hongxiang casually before falling asleep.
And when Ji Hongmakeup was lying on the bed, for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong......
