Chapter 19: Red Marks
When I saw those two white skeletons, I felt an indescribable sadness in my heart. I didn't know what grievances they had before, but when I saw Jiang Yue resolutely jump off the pit, I knew that she still loved him very much.
As soon as I turned around, the dungeon began to shake violently. Xiao Ye jumped over, picked me up easily, and then gently whispered in my ear, "Close your eyes." ”
I was stunned for a moment, then immediately closed my eyes. I was amazed at how different his voice was from usual, as if there was a kind of soul-stirring magic that was irresistible.
Then a gust of wind whistled in my ears. It was only a few seconds, and the surroundings were quiet again. I opened my eyes suddenly, only to find that we had arrived at Yujian Road at this time.
"Xiao Ye, the situation was too urgent just now, so I can only summon you over." I looked up at him with some guilt.
"You dripped your own blood onto the wind chimes?" He reacted quickly and immediately came over to look at my hand.
"It's fine, it doesn't hurt much." I smiled and put my hand in my pocket.
Suddenly, there was a car horn in the distance, and he glanced back, and disappeared without saying a word.
The black sedan slowly drove towards me and then stopped beside me. The window was lowered, and it was a middle-aged uncle driving the car.
He asked me a little anxiously, "Excuse me, excuse me." Have you seen my young master? ”
I just remembered that last time I saw him standing with Han Wanting on Yujian Road.
Looking at his anxious gaze, I nodded helplessly.
"That bothered." After saying that, he quickly drove away again.
Where did Han Wanting go so late? Wait, how did this uncle know that I knew Han Wanting?
When the car was far away, I whispered into the air, "Xiaoye, I'm going home." Bye! But no one responded.
I don't know if he's around, but I'd say yes.
I braved the cold wind and returned to the community. That's when I realized that my stuff was still downstairs. The schoolbag fell to the ground, and the soup spilled on the ground.
Frustrated, I picked up my bag and the cup with some leftover soup from the ground. Luckily, my mom has been on a business trip recently, and if she finds out that I haven't come home until now, she will be in a hurry.
I cautiously went upstairs to open the door, for fear of disturbing my sleeping neighbors. As soon as I entered, I went to the kitchen and poured a hot cup of tea. Thinking about what I just experienced, I can't sleep at all right now. But the headache is that I have another day of class tomorrow, and I guess I will doze off.
I looked at the alarm clock on my desk, and it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Forget it, no matter what, I'll sleep whatever I say. Otherwise, you will be sleepy when you wake up in the morning. But no matter what I do, my mind always comes to mind the pit full of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, the white bones of the two embracing each other, and the little night.
I don't know where Han Wanting went? Could it be that he was also arrested?
I fell asleep on my bed in a daze.
The next day, I went to school early, as usual. It was sleepy, but I was able to hold on. Xiang Zhichuan also came early, and as soon as he entered the door, he put down his schoolbag and went to read. I called him from behind. He looked back at me with some curiosity. I asked, "Is Han Wanting okay?" ”
Xiang Zhichuan first laughed, and then replied, "Are you saying you quarreled last night?" He's fine. Usually he is like this. ”
"Not really. Did he come home last night? I met an uncle looking for him everywhere. ”
He looked puzzled and said, "He's home." The uncle you said looking for him should be his housekeeper Uncle Liu. By the way, where did you meet Uncle Liu? ”
"Yujian Road."
He suddenly got up and walked out, leaving a sentence: "I'll go to their classroom to have a look." ”
At this time, Li Wan happened to come in and bumped into him all of a sudden. The two looked at each other awkwardly, then went their separate ways as if nothing had happened.
But I still saw that Li Wan's face was red to the root of her ears.
I covered my mouth and snickered.
Li Wan sat down in her seat, turned her head to look at me, and pretended not to care and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
I immediately changed my face and replied solemnly, "It's nothing, it's just that I just saw the god Cupid shoot arrows at two people." ”
She reacted quickly, feigned anger, and gently patted me on the shoulder.
I finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud. Laughing and laughing, my right wrist suddenly itched a little. I rolled up my sleeves and looked at it, only to find two red lines on my wrists. In a trance, I seemed to see them squirm for a moment.
Li Wan saw that my expression was not quite right, so she immediately came over. She touched my wrist, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”
I shook my head helplessly. These two thin red lines-like traces don't look like they've been painted. It's as if they've grown on my wrists. Last time there was one, this time there are two. I can't imagine what will happen in the future.
Li Wan said with concern: "Did you scratch something sharp?" If you have a pain, it is best to see a doctor. ”
I smiled wryly and said, "Okay." But the two slender red marks on the wrist didn't seem to be sharp.
Li Wan was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xiang Zhichuan, who ran in: "He's fine." The guy said he went to the internet café last night. ”
"I see." I breathed a sigh of relief.
After Li Wan waited for Xiang Zhichuan to sit down, she quietly asked me, "What's wrong?" ”
I told Uncle Liu about finding Han Wanting. After Li Wan listened, she nodded in understanding.
After a few more days, I had a few more red marks on my wrists. I was in a hurry, so I planned to go to the hospital on the weekend.
Lots of people on weekends. I waited at the bus stop for several buses, and they were all full. Finally, a somewhat full bus that was still carrying people stopped. As soon as I stepped into the car with my front foot, an old woman got out of the front door, and I had to let her. Unexpectedly, a chubby aunt next to her was quick and got into the car first. I thought I still had a chance, but the driver shouted at me, "Sorry, little girl." The car is full, so please sit in the next one. ”
I had no choice but to consider myself unlucky, and walked to the stop sign in a gloomy manner. I was almost a little bit closer. Hey, it's really a bad day.
In my frustration, I heard someone behind me shouting, "Long time no see!" ”
As soon as I turned around, I saw Master Du's sloppy beard.
"Master!" I screamed in surprise.
Originally, he was still smiling, but after seeing me, his expression changed, and he suddenly asked, "Your complexion seems to be getting worse and worse recently." It seems that your popularity has weakened a lot. Have you ever seen any? ”
The master is indeed the master. I told him all about the bad things I had with before. After listening to this, he just twisted his beard with his hand, and then whispered: "There are many people here, so it's better to go to my place to talk." ”
So, we went to the alley again. He made me a cup of tea and sat down in a chair. His face was solemn, and it took a long time before he spoke, "Show me the wind chimes in your hand." ”
I untied the wind chimes from my bracelet and handed them over.
He picked up the wind chime, looked at it carefully, and then gave it back to me. Immediately after, he sighed again: "I'm afraid this thing is not something you can afford." This kind of wind chime is a soul exorcism bell for yin, but you are just an ordinary person, and the longer you wear it, the greater the impact. In the end, it is difficult to say that it is good luck to avoid evil. ”
"Then I'll give it back to him." I reluctantly tied the wind chimes back on.
"It's not impossible. If you can drink a bowl of Meng Po's Huishen soup, maybe it can still help you suppress your soul. But this time the soup is really a treasure in the world! As soon as the master mentioned the words "Huishen Soup", I immediately thought of that weird bubble tea shop. Could it be that Meng Po is the clerk's sister?
"How old is Meng Po? What does she look like? I asked him curiously.
When the uncle heard this, he laughed: "How can I have seen it?" Meng Po only saw people who were destined. ”
I can't imagine that I pass by the bubble tea shop owned by Meng Po almost every day. Moreover, that treasure in the world is still milk tea. For me, it's a treasure in the world. It seems that the wind chimes should let me go for the time being.
The two white bones embracing each other suddenly appeared in my mind, and driven by curiosity, I couldn't help but ask: "Master, did Zeng Ke come to you before to suppress Jiang Yue's soul?" ”
He replied lightly: "It's not her." ”
"Who's that? Is it the one who wants to arrest me? I had a flash of inspiration and suddenly asked.
He nodded, and said in a heavy tone, "I've tried many ways but I can't suppress her. ”
I asked anxiously, "Listen to Sayo, that person's target might be me." Master, are you really at a loss? ”
As if remembering something, the master suddenly got up and walked to the cabinet to look for something. I looked at the cabinet. The cabinet was full of ashed runes and incense.
While looking for it, he turned back to me and said, "I want to invite Jiang Yue and Zeng Ke's souls to come up." I want to ask them about evil things. ”
I was getting more and more curious, because it was the first time I had seen a ghost spell.
"That's all I can do for you." After speaking, the master came over with a stack of rune paper.
He took out a small bowl from the drawer with rice in it. I thought he was going to ask for a soul, but I didn't expect him to give me all these things.
"Master, what are you doing? I'm not going to ask for a soul. I looked at the things in front of me in amazement.
The master said casually, "You can learn." I've never beckoned a ghost. Even if you do it, you don't necessarily have to invite it. You have an extremely yin physique, weak characters, and yin and yang eyes, so it is easy to succeed. When the time comes, you can ask them a little bit about that evil thing. But you can't wear this wind chime at that time. ”
I nodded. After that, the master told me how to use these things to please ghosts.
I was just about to leave, and when I looked back, I thought that the master usually charges a fee for helping people. Besides, I didn't pay for his talisman last time. So I asked, "Master, how much does it cost?" ”
The master didn't say anything at first, he felt embarrassed to take money from a child who was still studying. There is also a certain cost for these runes, and I think the master's usual life seems to be very poor. After all, he also relies on this to eat, but how can he always do a loss-making business?
But no matter how much I tried to persuade him, the master resolutely did not want money. In desperation, I quickly put the money on the table, picked up the bag with the things and ran away.
