Chapter Twenty-Six: Ji Yue is back
It is impossible for a ghost to be in such a situation for no reason, not to mention that ordinary spirits cannot get close to her.
"You must have hit something dirty, and you keep saying that you feel guilty about your father's death." I told her what happened yesterday in an attempt to make her remember.
"Actually, when you went to take out the garbage yesterday, I couldn't help but be curious, so I moved your Octagon Compass, and then I don't remember anything about what happened later."
"You moved the Octagon Compass? Ever since the Bafang Compass was abnormal, I think you care about it. ”
I was afraid that I would be trapped in the Octagon Compass again, so I put it away, and the ghost tried to see it a few times, but I stopped it.
"I can always see my father's face in the window these days, and he is having a very painful life." The ghost's hands were clenched, and its fingertips were white.
"See anything else?"
"I also often have nightmares about him being trapped, burned by fire, and gnawed by bone-eating beasts." The ghost rubbed his hands uneasily, "Dad said that only I could help him." ”
"How does he want you to help him?" I believe that it must not have been my father who gave her dreams, although my father left us very early, but I know that with his character, we will never let us suffer for him.
"He said in his dream that he would exchange my life for it, because it was my mistake that caused him to be killed, brother, I think what Dad said is not wrong at all, and I should be responsible for my mistake." By this time, the ghost had already burst into tears.
Self-blame and guilt may be the purpose of the resentful spirit, which eats away at people's reason when they are on the verge of collapse, making it impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood. If it weren't for my dreams, the ghost would be dead by now.
Sometimes I suddenly feel disgusted with my identity as a descendant of the ghost clan, and I have to worry about the people around me every day, I would rather not have such an identity and just live an ordinary life. What saves the common people, it seems so ridiculous.
"Ling'er, I believe that Dad will never let you suffer for him, even if you make a big mistake, he will forgive you, you must have touched something dirty."
"Brother, if what you said is true, then what happened to me?"
"I don't know, don't stand by the window lately, lest you want to jump again." Although I suspect that there was another reason for my father's death, I can't tell her my suspicions yet, after all, the aunt she knows has taught her a skill, and she has to have a process of acceptance.
"It's okay, Ji Yue will be back tomorrow, with her with me, you don't have to worry." The ghost replied to me nonchalantly.
"Pay attention to your attitude, and you still think I'm nagging when you say two words." I reached out and pinched her face, I really didn't know how worried I was, and she looked annoying to me.
"It hurts, it hurts, brother, you are so careful that you can't find your daughter-in-law." The ghost quickly slapped my hand away and dodged me far away.
"Brother, you see that I will not die in a big disaster, I will have a good mouth, I want to eat your specialty dishes." The ghost grinned and tugged at the corner of my coat, swaying left and right.
"Bah, baba, talking nonsense, what is not dead, if you want to eat braised pork, go to the vegetable market with me to buy meat." I can't stand you like this.
"Yes." The ghost grinned and clenched his fist at me, and ran to change his clothes.
I'm very fond of this twin sister, and sometimes I even wonder if I like this type of girl, and if ghosts are my criteria for choosing a mate, I'm really going to be heartbroken in the future.
I cleaned up the broken glass on the ground, and when I went out to find someone to replace the glass with a new one, I glanced downstairs, Wang San? How could he suddenly appear downstairs in my house?
I wanted to go down and arrest him and ask him to understand, but I was afraid that the ghost would do something stupid again, so I had to give up this opportunity and watch him leave.
I went grocery shopping with the ghost, and she was happier than anyone else along the way, and when she got to the door of the vegetable market, she didn't want to go in with me, so I had no choice but to let her stand in my sight.
"Lao Zhang, I heard that several people died yesterday."
"No, there was an accident in the subway first, and it was scary."
"What's a scary method?"
"Uncle Li, stop chatting, help me weigh this piece of meat." I hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two, the embroidered shoes incident in the subway had already been resolved.
"Xiao Ye, you're so early, how about you watch so much?" As he spoke, Uncle Li brought the pork belly to show me.
"Okay, just this piece!"
"Okay, one pound and six taels, you can give me eighteen yuan." Uncle Li skillfully put the weighed meat into a bag and handed it to me.
I handed him the money and asked casually, "Uncle Li, I just heard you say that someone died again last night, what's going on?" ”
"Xiao Ye, didn't you hear it yesterday? The noise was loud, woke me up, went to buy this morning, and listened to Lao Wang say that he knew, there were several people who committed suicide by jumping off the building last night. Uncle Li looked sorry and shook his head as he spoke.
"I slept dead yesterday and didn't hear it. Uncle Li, I'm going back to cook for my sister. "I left in a hurry, and I am afraid that the fate of these people is the same as that of the ghosts.
I walked to the intersection and didn't see the ghosts, my heart was lifted again, there were two exits in front of and behind the vegetable market, and I walked quickly towards the other exit.
"Brother, you helped me pay the money, I forgot my wallet."
It turned out that this girl was picking fruits, it seemed that I was too nervous, and the ghost carried two large bags of fruits, and walked happily in front of me, crackling and talking.
"It's a special time for you, and if you want to buy fruit, you have to wait until I finish buying meat." I don't know if it's too hot, and my mood has become impetuous, and if I continue like this, I have to become an old mother, and I will be endless.
"Didn't I save the time to go back and eat braised pork?" The ghost smiled and handed me two bags of fruit and took the meat away, it seems that she also knows that fruit is heavier than meat.
"Okay, don't be poor with me, I just heard that a few people committed suicide by jumping off the building yesterday, and I guess it's the same as you."
"Someone else has an accident, what do you think did it?" The ghost looked at me with a serious face.
"We'll find out tomorrow."
The ghost she wanted to speak and stopped, she should be the object of suspicion, she didn't say it, and I didn't ask.
As soon as I opened the door when I got home, Ji Yue brought me a bear hug.
"Brother Xiaoye, are you surprised?" Ji Yue asked me with big eyes.
"Wow! You two are so nice to know I'm coming back and bought so much fruit. An Chen quickly took the bag in my hand.
In the eyes of foodies, there is only food.
"Xiao Yueyue, you come down first."
"Brother Xiaoye, you dislike me." In just a second, Ji Yue's tears were almost about to flow out.
"Xiao Yueyue, the acting skills are too exaggerated! My brother didn't dislike you, he was going to make braised pork to eat, and the two of you were in a hurry, and you were blessed. ”
As soon as she heard the ghost's words, Ji Yue immediately stopped crying, a woman's face changed faster than a book, and when I saw her, I didn't dare to find a girlfriend.
