Yan Ning woke up with palpitations, and it was already the next morning. She slept so hard that she sneezed twice.

I don't know what happened last night, she patted her chest, and there was a faint uneasiness in her heart.

Yan Ning sat up, a sharp pain suddenly came from her lower stomach, she held her breath, lifted the quilt, and saw a large pool of red blood on the bed.

It can't be so decaying, right?

Her menstrual period has been inaccurate for the past two months, she has taken a lot of medicine after seeing Chinese medicine, and she has not been well adjusted, but she didn't expect to come early or late, but at this time, she soiled someone else's bed.

Yan Ning turned around and couldn't find the toilet, so she had to close the window and squat to change the sanitary napkin.

She was still thinking about last night, and got up and looked around the room, there were some old ashes piled up on the tent and under the bed, and there was nothing else, and she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that last night should have been just her hallucination.

There were large blood stains on his pants, and Yan Ning had no choice but to open the cabinet to find out if there were any clothes that could be worn. There are several honest cheongsams hanging in the cabinet, all of which are plain, and a red robe with a phoenix embroidered on the neckline, like a toasting dress.

Yan Ning didn't find the pants, and the short sleeves on her body were also wrinkled, so she was embarrassed to wear other people's wedding clothes, so she picked out a dark cheongsam and put it on, which unexpectedly fitted.

She neatly tore off the blood-stained bedding and put it in the red basin at the foot of the bed, intending to find a place to wash it.

Yan Ning went out of the house, she passed by a small pond yesterday, someone opened up a port on the side, paved with blue and white rock, there is no moss on it, it is very clean, I think it has always been used.

She walked for a while the way she came, but she did not see the pond, and by the time she found herself lost, she had already come to a strange yard. The surroundings didn't look much closer, Yan Ning chose the nearest room with a candle flame and knocked on the door, thinking that she could ask someone for directions.

The door in front of him is the same as the door, it is old, the color is dark, there is a thick rust hanging on the door buckle, Yan Ning touched it, there was a lot of moss on his hands, the door was lit, and there was a figure sitting at the table.

The man had a bun on his head, in the form of a woman, but he did not answer.

She stopped moving, and asked aloud, "I'm lost here, so I'm here to ask how to get to the lobby." ”

The questioning didn't seem to work very well, because the woman had been sitting at the table without moving, the thin window paper showing her outline, and Yan Ning noticed that she was with her head down, her chin on the slightly higher table.

She was so close that she accidentally slapped the buckle on the door, and the door creaked, opening a gap that wasn't too big.

Yan Ning knocked her head in annoyance, but since it was all open, through the crack in the door, she saw that there was indeed a woman sitting at the table, but she was very old and resting with her eyes closed.

The woman's shadow was drawn in the dim candlelight, Yan Ning was overjoyed, so she simply pushed open the door and went in.

She had thought that the woman was asleep, and when she went in to see it, she found that the other party was lowering her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking, her hair was lying on her head obediently, and she was wearing a dark red wedding dress, which was the style of the old times, a pair of red embroidered shoes, very close to the ground, but it was indeed her feet dangling.

Seeing this picture, the joy in Yan Ning's heart unconsciously faded.

The man saw Yan Ning coming in, and also raised his head, Yan Ning felt that she seemed to smile, but in the blink of an eye, she looked like an ancient well without waves, she pulled the corners of her mouth, and said a strange accent, not Mandarin, and the dialect of her hometown was also very different, her voice was gray and hoarse, and it took Yan Ning a while to recognize what she said was "You are here".

Yan Ning looked at the old woman, with the other party's strange accent and clothing, she didn't feel very good all over her body, she rubbed the goosebumps on her hands, hugged the basin in her hand, and took two steps back.

As she retreated, Yan Ning even felt that there was something wrong with her vision, she actually saw the other party's loss from such a dim light, and the other party was indeed lost, so that her tone changed,

The woman got up and walked over to her, bowing her head and saying, "I can help you out." ”

As she approached, Yan Ning unconsciously retreated, and her words forcibly held back Yan Ning's steps.

"Can you take me to the county seat?" Yan Ning automatically understood this meaning, she couldn't help but look at the woman a few more times, but the light in the room was too dim, and if she wanted to see clearly, she had to walk in front of her.

She didn't want to be so close, so she had to say, "Thank you then, but can you tell me where I can do the laundry?" She showed the woman the bedding in the basin, "I accidentally got dirty." ”

"You're welcome." The woman turned her body sideways and motioned for Yan Ning to sit down inside, "I'm waiting for you here."

It would be best if she was willing to help herself, but it sounded weird. Yan Ning stepped forward and sat down at the table from the door. The woman did not sit down, but slowly walked to the door and closed it.

With her movements, the room was also a little darker, and the surroundings were very quiet, and Yan Ning could clearly hear the sound of her heartbeat.

Hanging behind the Taishi chair is a Buddha statue, on which is painted the King of Jizo Bodhisattva, the Dharma is solemn.

It stands to reason that most of the offerings in people's homes are Guanyin, and it is the first time that Yan Ning has seen other Bodhisattvas.

The house looked old, but the Buddha statue was very new, and Yan Ning could even see the shimmering light of the Buddha's golden body.

The other party suggested, "Are you hungry?" I have pastries here. ”

"Not hungry." Why do the people here like to feed her so much, Yan Ning subconsciously refused the stranger's food, and said in a soothing tone: "I have already eaten it when I came out." ”

"Do you need hot tea?"

The woman raised her hand and came over with a bowl of glutinous rice, she looked Yan Ning up and down, and saw the blue and black under Yan Ning's eyes, "You don't seem to have rested well." ”

Yan Ning laughed stiffly again: "It's okay, I'm just a little bit of a bed." ”

"Then I'll exorcise the demons for you first." The woman placed the glutinous rice on the table, looking like she was smiling rather than angry.

"Exorcism what?"

The woman smiled mysteriously, "You didn't encounter anything strange last night?" ”

Yan Ning's puzzled expression was stunned, she held her breath, and instantly thought of the black shadow, "You mean ......"

The woman nodded, and then entered the back room, it was very dark, the black Yan Ning didn't even see a secret door behind the bed, she pushed the door open and went in, the door seemed to have not been opened for a long time, the dust flew out, and the faint fishy smell in the air went straight into her nose, Yan Ning always felt that it was the smell of blood.

Maybe it's chicken blood, she thought comfortingly, the gods who can generally exorcise ghosts have black dog blood here.
