Chapter 7: The Ghost Is Dead
I kicked the candle off my feet and scooped up the ghost, and she was like a broken doll, lying limply in my arms, her eyes closed and lifeless.
I stretched out my hand to test her snort, but I couldn't feel anything, I let go of my hand in shock, and was caught by Xu Jialin, who had just come in, at the moment when the ghost fell to the ground.
"What's going on?" Xu Jialin's words brought back my thoughts.
I stepped forward and lifted Ji Yue off the ground, "What did you and Ling'er do?" She's not breathing, you know, you know what the hell you're doing? "Tears blurred my eyes and my mind went blank.
"Brother Xiaoye, Brother Xiaoye, I didn't mean it, I didn't expect this, it's not what I wanted." Ji Yue sobbed loudly, wiping tears from her eyes and pulling my hand.
I threw her to the ground, "Not what you want?" Ling'er is dead, how can you let me forgive you? ”
I took a deep breath, snatched the corpse of the ghost from Xu Jialin's hand, picked her up by the waist, raised her legs to leave, Ji Yue lay on the ground and hugged my thighs tightly.
"Brother Xiaoye, I don't expect you to forgive me, I want to help you recover Ling'er's soul and Jue Soul, okay?"
I kicked Ji Yue away and yelled, "I don't need your help. ”
Xu Jialin saw that I was angry and did not open his mouth to persuade me, but helped Ji Yue who was lying on the ground.
I glared at the two of them, and went back to the room with the ghost, I locked the door, and now I don't want to see anyone, I just want to quietly hold the ghost I can rest assured, she is my only relative in this world, I dare not think that there will be no her in the future, what should I do?
I sat on the edge of the bed with the corpse of the ghost in my arms, and I didn't open the door no matter how they screamed or shouted outside. My eyes gradually blurred, and before I knew it, my consciousness began to blur.
I seemed to see the busy street scene, the wheat fields of the autumn harvest, the icy and snowy winter day, and the struggling of An Chen in the fire. I woke up from my dream and took a big breath of fresh air, and it was Xu Jialin who came into view, followed by Han Zimeng or Mo Xun. I sat up jerked at the thought of the ghost, but fell back into bed.
"You want to starve yourself to death, why are you always so brainless, you don't eat or drink like this without understanding things, why did the ghost family come out with such a thing as you?" The person who blew his nose and glared at me as soon as he opened his mouth, who is it not Mo Xun?
"Ling'er is already dead, do you mean anything to say? Even if I starve to death, it's none of your business. I reached out and pulled out the needle in my hand, and I glanced sideways to catch a glimpse of Himetsuki standing outside the door and not daring to come in.
"Didn't you find out that Ling'er was the soul, the awakened soul, and the living soul disappeared at the same time? Don't you want to know the cause of your sister's death? Mo Xun unceremoniously grabbed my left ear and twisted it a few times.
Xu Jialin on the side couldn't help laughing, "I said Mo Xun, Ah Ye is weak now, you just raise your noble hand, and it's not too late for the two of you to flirt and scold him after he finishes eating." ”
"Who flirted with him? I'm not uncommon for such brainless people. Saying that, Mo Xun turned around and stuffed the rice bowl on the table into my hand, "You haven't eaten for three days, we'll talk about it when you clean up your emotions." ”
I looked at the rice bowl in my hand, and then at Ji Yue outside the door.
"Ji Yue, you come in."
Ji Yue was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to my eyes, and called me in a choked voice, "Brother Xiaoye." ”
"Well, tell me what you all did that day?" Just like Mo Xun said, he didn't even ask things clearly, and he gave up on himself, which is really not rational enough.
"Brother Xiaoye, have you forgiven me?" Ji Yue's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Ling'er is my only relative, I just want to know why she died?" I can't recover from the death of the ghost in a short time, and I can't say anything to comfort Himetsuki.
"When Ling'er and I returned home, in order to find my brother's whereabouts, Ling'er chose to use the oldest tracking technique to investigate." Ji Yue wiped her tears and continued: "But halfway through our progress, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and with a wave of his hand on Ling'er's head, Ling'er fell directly, and then there was no breathing. ”
"I said a long time ago that I would go and save my brother, why didn't you listen? Do it yourself? ”
"Ghost Ye, don't get excited, I'll help you." Mo Xun stepped forward to hold my hand, looked at me gently, and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes for me. The tenderness in her eyes is not as tender as Han Zimeng's, which makes people feel a sense of distance.
Maybe it was because my eyes looking at Mo Xun were too hot, she quickly let go of my hand, "Don't worry, I sealed Ling'er's body for her, seven days have not passed, I believe there is still a chance." ”
"You mean she'll still come back to life?" Xu Jialin asked first.
"I can't guarantee it yet, but if Ghost Ye has been relying on glucose in bed to sustain his life, he will definitely have no chance." The corners of Mo Xun's mouth rose slightly, glanced at me, and turned to go out.
Ji Yue hurriedly wiped her tears and followed. Hearing her say this, I picked up the bowl and gulped the rice into my mouth.
"Cough, cough, cough."
"Slow down, don't choke, we'll all be waiting for you." Xu Jialin hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to me.
I devoured a bowl of rice, immediately handed the rice bowl to Xu Jialin, quickly got up, stepped on my shoes, and staggered to the hall to find Mo Xun.
"You're going to go out with us like this?" Mo Xun circled around me with a disgusted face, leaned forward and sniffed me, "You see you have a stubble on your face, sloppy to death, hurry up and clean yourself up." Mo Xun ordered me unceremoniously.
"Mo Xun, don't talk about Brother Xiaoye like that, let's hurry up!" Ji Yue played a round for me and peeked at me by the way.
I grabbed my collar and sniffed it, the smell on my body was really not good, "I want to see Ling'er first." ”
"It's there, but you'll have to hurry." Mo Xun instructed me on the side, and stretched out his hand to point to An Chen's room.
I pushed the door open and entered, and it was cleaned up by them, the room was covered with red ropes, and the floor was full of burning candles.
I stood on tiptoe and cautiously crossed the candle to the bedside, the ghost lay quietly on the bed, I lifted her sleeve, there were no corpse spots on her arms, and her body was not as stiff as a corpse.
I was full of anticipation, hoping that Mo Xun could really save the ghost, I stood by the bed and looked at her quietly for a while, adjusted my mentality, took a bath, changed into new clothes, I took a deep breath of fresh air, and met all these tribulations with a new look.
Mo Xun wanted to take us to Han's house, but did not explain what to do. The four of us had just walked downstairs when an old man sat on the steps, blocking our way.
He had gray hair, a wrinkled face, and was wearing a navy blue shirt, and I always thought he was a little familiar, but for a moment I couldn't remember where I had seen him.
