Chapter 52: A Wail in the Night
It was dark, and the road to the west of the township was difficult to walk, and it was difficult to see clearly this night, so Ning Er and Wu Shuang walked even slower, although when they came out, the boss asked for two lanterns to play, but in the darkness of this night, it was difficult to illuminate the darkness with only the light of two lanterns, and it could only shine on a place under their feet.
Ning'er is a girl, although she says that she is not afraid of the night, she is not afraid of ghosts and the like, but as soon as it gets dark, Ning'er is still a little scared, and she doesn't say it, but her body is very honest, I don't know if it's because she can't see the road slowly when it's dark, or because she is a little afraid that her actions will become sluggish.
Wu Shuang originally walked in front of Ning Er to lead the way for Ning Er, but when she looked back, Ning Er was far away from her, so she also slowed down her walking speed, took a few steps back, and began to walk side by side with Ning Er, glancing at Ning Er from time to time to see if she could keep up with her pace.
"Ning'er, are you okay, if you're afraid, I'll send you back, right?" Wu Shuang saw Ning Er's body trembling a little several times, and she didn't know if it was because Ning Er was afraid, so she asked, thinking that if Ning Er was afraid, she would let her go back to the hotel and stay, and go to the west of the township by herself.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid, how can I let you go alone, I'll just be with you." Ning Er didn't say what she was afraid of, because she felt embarrassed, how could she let Wu Shuanggongzi go to the west of the township alone in the middle of the night, and it was also a haunted place, it was safer for the two of them to be companions, although she was a little scared, but she had to be brave enough to go together. Ning Er believes that there are no ghosts in this world, but there are ghosts in people's hearts, and she also wants to find out what the situation is.
"Ning'er, you don't have to force yourself, I'm not afraid of a big man, but I'm worried, you're a girl's house, it's not safe at night, you know?" Wu Shuang is like an old woman at the moment, nagging constantly, hoping that Ning'er can go back to the hotel, and doesn't want Ning'er to be frightened all the time.
"Okay, I'm fine, let's go, it should be almost there, right?" Ning Er didn't respond to Wu Shuang's words to let her go back to the hotel, but changed the topic and asked if it was almost there.
"Yes, it's coming soon, if you're scared, walk behind me." Wu Shuang usually teases Ning'er and teases Ning'er, but this time she does what a man should do, knowing that she has protected Ning'er's girl's family, she has finally grown up a little.
"Do you smell a smell of rotting something?" The two of them were talking and walking, and Ning'er was not so scared now, but after walking for a while, she smelled a very strange smell of rot, and she choked her nose, and Ning'er was so smoked that she coughed a few times.
"Yes, this smell is quite unpleasant, I guess it was this rotten smell and wailing that caused the rumors to have ghosts." Wu Shuang deduced the reason why there were ghosts in the west of the township based on the smell of rot, but this was only Wu Shuang's own inference, he hoped that it was just a prank, and there would not really be anything dangerous, otherwise it would be too dangerous for him to bring Ning Er.
"Shhhh Ning Er was originally walking on Wu Shuang's right hand, but suddenly walked a little closer to Wu Shuang, grabbed Wu Shuang's sleeve with her hand, and signaled Wu Shuang not to speak, and listen carefully to see if there was really a sound.
The two of them suddenly stopped talking, and the surroundings became unusually quiet, and the two of them stayed quietly for a while, and didn't find any movement, Wu Shuang wanted to speak, and asked Ning'er what was going on, just when Wu Shuang was about to open his mouth to speak, suddenly there was a wail around him, which was very miserable and terrifying. Ning Er grabbed Wu Shuang's sleeve and suddenly tightened it a little, Wu Shuang felt Ning Er's fear, so she took the lantern to her left hand, held Ning Er's shoulder with her right hand, and took Ning Er to the grass next to the road, blew out the lantern, and the two of them squatted in the dark grass.
Ning Er didn't understand Wu Shuang's behavior, and wanted to open her mouth to ask Wu Shuang what she was doing, but before she could say it, she was gagged by Wu Shuang with her left hand, and Ning Er's whole person was held in Wu Shuang's arms, Ning Er wanted to refute and wanted to break free, and she was struggling.
"Don't move, listen to the voice." Wu Shuang saw that Ning'er had been struggling, so she leaned close to Ning'er's ear and whispered a word, after finishing speaking, she hugged Ning'er tighter, let go of the left hand that blocked Ning'er's mouth, and groped for the fire box in her clothes, thinking that when the sound passed, she could use the fire box to light the lantern again, so that Ning Er would not be so afraid.
The sound of wailing around them has been ringing, it does sound like a human whining, howling, very miserable, sad, Ning Er was a little scared when she heard this sound, so she buried her head in Wu Shuang's arms, covered her ears with her hands, and wanted to escape this sound, at night, this sound is indeed terrifying in the wilderness.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Wu Shuang felt a little head into his arms, he knew that Ning Er was scared when he heard this sound, so he hugged Ning Er in his arms tighter, Wu Shuang hoped that this kind of moment could be a little longer, after all, this would be good in his arms, usually he couldn't touch Ning Er, this time he was able to get close to it, and he could hug Ning Er, all thanks to the blessing of this wail.
Although Wu Shuang was also a little scared, it was dark all around at night, and there were wails ringing in her ears, but what was this fear compared to the happiness in her arms, let this wail come longer and more violently!
After the wailing continued for a while, the voice gradually became quieter, and Ning Er felt less scared, so she wanted to break free from Wu Shuang's arms, but Wu Shuang did not let go, and kept holding Ning Er very tightly, unwilling to let go of Ning Er.
"Young Master Wu Shuang, there is no sound anymore, can you let go?" Seeing that she couldn't struggle, Ning Er whispered to Wu Shuang, hoping that Wu Shuang could let go of herself.
"Oh oh" Although Wu Shuang responded, but he didn't let go immediately, and he hugged Ning'er for a few seconds before letting go, there was still a little nostalgia in his heart, and he even hoped that there would be a wail for a while, so that Ning'er could continue to get into his arms if he was afraid for a while, and he could hug Ning'er for a while, this kind of good thing is more and better.
"Wu Shuang Gongzi, you bring the fire" Ning Er just said a few words, but Wu Shuang gagged with a book, and pulled Ning Er closer to her arms again, Ning Er just wanted to break free, and asked Wu Shuang Gongzi what he was going to do, when he suddenly heard footsteps, he didn't break free anymore, he stayed there quietly, didn't make a sound, and wanted to see who the person who came over.
There was no wailing around and it was very quiet, and the sudden footsteps were obvious, Wu Shuang and Ning Er both pricked up their ears and listened carefully, wanting to see who it was.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, the night is getting darker and darker, the wind at night is still quite cold, especially when the wind blows, it also brings a smell of rot, which makes people's backs a little cold, Wu Shuang hugged Ning'er tighter, on the surface, it seems that she is afraid of Ning'er's cold, but in fact, she is selfish, obviously she wants to get close to Ning'er.
"How long do you think it will take for such a day, Fifth Five?" Suddenly, in addition to the sound of footsteps, there was another sound of talking, it was obvious that in addition to Ning'er Wushuang, there were only people walking, and this sound of talking and footsteps should be the same person.
"Alas, third brother, who can say for sure, I don't know what's wrong with the eldest brother, I can't understand the eldest brother anymore if I want to do this kind of thing these days." Another voice replied to the words of the person just now, and it could be heard that the two of them were together, and they were also brothers of the third and fifth children, and the things they said in their mouths and such days could feel that they were definitely not ordinary things that were said.
"Fifth brother, the things decided by the eldest brother are not something we can suspect, let's just do it safely and steadily, otherwise the eldest brother will be unhappy, and we won't be able to eat and walk around." The third child said another sentence, let the fifth child do what the eldest brother said, otherwise it will anger the eldest brother, and they will have no good fruit to eat.
"Knowing the third brother, don't talk much, I just ask, alas, this day is too aggrieved, and when I come out all night, I am about to die of grievance." The fifth brother complained a few more words to the third brother, complaining about the fact that they could only come out at night, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, old five, grinding and chirping like a girl, let's go." The third brother taught the fifth brother a lesson, and then the two of them didn't speak again, all they could hear was footsteps, and they couldn't even hear the footsteps for a while, until they were confirmed to be far away, Ning'er and Wu Shuang didn't dare to move their bodies, and they had been squatting at night, and Ning'er's legs were a little numb.
Ning'er wanted to stand up hard, but her legs were numb and she couldn't stand steadily, and she fell into Wu Shuang's arms all of a sudden, Wu Shuang held Ning'er with both hands, Ning'er and Wu Shuang looked at each other, Ning'er looked at Wu Shuang's eyes and felt that her face suddenly became very hot, Ning'er would soon break free of Wu Shuang's arm, and she stood firm and struggled out of his arms, "I'm sorry, I didn't stand firm just now", and expressed his apologies to Wu Shuang, hoping he didn't misunderstand.
"Ah, it's okay, are your legs still numb?" Wu Shuang had been in contact with girls before, and she didn't feel anything, but the moment she looked at Ning Er just now, Wu Shuang actually became a little blushing, her heartbeat became much faster, and she felt that she had become a little flustered.
"No more numbness, no more numbness, what should we do now?" Ning Er knew that the atmosphere had suddenly become very awkward, after all, it was because she had just not stood firm that she had become like this, so she quickly asked what to do, wanting to forget the embarrassing moment just now.
"Let's sneak them after them, according to what they just said, they must have conspired something, I think they may have something to do with the haunting in the west of the country, what do you say?" Wu Shuang said what she thought, wanting to see what Ning Er thought.
"Well, I think it makes sense, so let's follow them." As soon as Ning Er noticed that they said that they could only come out at night, she felt very surprised and thought that she would follow and take a look.
Because they didn't know how far away the two people were from Ning Er and them just now, the two of them didn't light the lantern when they walked, but kept holding it in their hands, feeling the darkness and moving forward.
