Chapter 14: Encountering Ghosts
My confused head suddenly sobered up, and then I realized that I seemed to be on the path of something just now, and quickly stood up and shone around with a flashlight.
There was a white object wriggling behind the dirt bag, and I carefully turned the flashlight at it.
Is that a person or a ghost? As far as the light could see, I could only see something in a white robe huddled there and trembling, long hair covering its face, and I couldn't make out what it looked like.
Swallowing my saliva, I couldn't help but ask, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”
The trembling thing snapped, slowly moved, and crawled towards my place.
Yes, it didn't stand up and come over, but crawled towards me on all fours.
I took a step back, but suddenly realized that my task was not yet completed, so I stopped, clenched the kitchen knife in my hand and said, "Don't come here, I'm not welcome to come again." ”
"Humph!" A coquettish female voice came, and the guy in white stood up and said coldly: "Don't think that I am afraid of you if you have a magic weapon on your body, if you have the ability, you are welcome to show me?" ”
I gritted my teeth, those words were to embolden myself, can I take a kitchen knife and cut this guy who doesn't know if it's a human or a ghost? After a moment of silence, I asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"It's nothing, I didn't expect such a tender little girl to come here at night, can you stay and play with me?" The woman said with a dark smile.
I pouted: "It's not a good thing to see you like this, you have the ability to keep me, then come!" With that, I took a step forward.
The guy obviously didn't expect me to do this, so he took several steps back in a row, and was silent for a moment before suddenly disappearing.
I took a flashlight and took a picture everywhere, but I didn't see its shadow again, so I hurriedly took out a small bottle to get the water that Murong Yu wanted.
It's really strange that there is a pit the size of a cup on the top of a good tombstone, and there is indeed a puddle of clear water in it.
I took out a spoon and carefully scooped it, about a few drops, and poured it into the bottle.
I breathed a sigh of relief after tightening the cap, now I can finally deal with Murong Yu, no matter how hard that guy dares to be difficult for me, I will fight with him.
As soon as I was excited, I turned around and wanted to go back to the errand, but I was caught up in a cold crash and scared me a lot.
When I looked closely, it was the guy in white who appeared again, and this collision only startled me, but it was miserable, because the yellow light in my chest started again, and it screamed and flew out.
I couldn't help but taunt it and said, "You still don't give up, you know that my baby will hurt you, and you are still beating my idea." ”
Under the light of the flashlight, I finally saw the man's appearance clearly this time, and the mountain wind blew away its hair, revealing the delicate features on its face.
I was stunned for a moment, this face looked so familiar, a young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, staring at me hatefully.
"Who the hell are you?" The doubts in my heart are getting bigger and bigger, and I instinctively feel that the female ghost in front of me has a deep relationship with me.
The female ghost grinned, stared into my eyes and said, "Who am I?" I'm ginger tea, you don't know me anymore? ”
I was stunned and asked, "You are ginger tea, then, then who am I?" I'm ginger tea. ”
The female ghost's smile was even more bitter: "Yes, you are also ginger tea, and both of us are ginger tea, but I am the future you and you after death, do you understand now?" ”
"I'm dead? When did it happen? I couldn't help but take a step forward and ask, and as I approached the female ghost, the jade cicada on my chest began to glow faintly yellow again.
The female ghost who fell to the ground was very jealous, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't come here, what you want to hurt now is your future self, don't you understand?" ”
I shook my head: "I don't understand, don't lie to me anymore, I'm not dead yet, how can I see my own ghost?" ”
"You are not dead now, because it is not time, and when you are eighteen years old, you will naturally understand." The female ghost said, clutching her chest.
"Shut up!" A shout of rage suddenly rang out from the woods.
I opened my mouth wide and watched as a tall shadow burst out of the darkness and landed in front of the female ghost, slashing down with a slap.
The female ghost turned into a cloud of white light and disappeared from the scream, and I saw clearly through the light of the flashlight, it was the one who said that he would always protect me by his side.
After he eliminated the female ghost, he came to my side and said to me, who was still in shock: "Jiang Cha, don't believe what the female ghost is talking about, it's just bewitching you." ”
"Really? But why is my name written on that tombstone? I looked at him in a daze, and this was the only question left in my mind.
He smiled softly, this was the first time I had seen him smile, right? Then he said, "Look at the tombstone again, it's just a trick, you've been deceived." ”
I stared at his face and was reluctant to leave, and when I woke up after a while, I turned my head to look at the tombstone with a red face, and sure enough, the name on it was no longer ginger tea, but a name I didn't recognize.
I looked back at the man, "What's going on?" ”
Yu replied lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a ghost demon who has been cultivating for many years, a little more powerful than the eagle you encountered during the day, so none of them were destroyed by your magic weapon." ”
"Oh, are you following me?" I breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask him.
"Yes, you little girl walks by herself at night, how can I rest assured." Yu said lightly.
I bowed my head: "Well, thank you." ”
"Well, let's go, I'll send you home, it's not too early." He said, and before I could answer, he put his arm around my waist, then bowed his head and said, "Close your eyes." ”
I blushed, obediently closed my eyes, a gust of wind whistled in my ears, and after a while, the wind disappeared, and the voice of the wind said in my ears: "It's here, open your eyes." ”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I found that I was already at the door of Murong Yu's room, my mouth was wide open, my eyes were full of little stars, and I asked with a look of adoration: "Wow, what's the matter, you flew back?" ”
"It's just a small skill of carving insects, what are you so surprised about?" Murong Yu's voice said lightly at the door of the room.
I looked back at him and threw the bottle in my pocket to him angrily: "Well, these are the few drops of water you wanted, fortunately I brought them back." ”
Murong Yu nodded after taking it: "Okay, you are so good." ”
"Phew, don't use the same tricks to coax the child to me, now tell me where my mother has gone right away?" I spat him and said.
Murong Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, glancing at Wei who was standing next to me: "This girl's attitude towards you and me is completely different." ”
Wei also smiled, looked at me and said, "Don't blame me, Jiang Cha's task is completed, I'll send her home first, right?" ”
"Well, okay, I'll talk about that female ghost later." Murong Yu nodded and said.
I crossed my waist, looked at the two big men and asked, "Hey, have you two noticed my presence?" You're going to ignore my question just now, are you? Murong Yu, we've hooked up, you can't go back! ”
Murong Yu and Wei looked at each other and smiled, and then he said to me: "Okay, I'll tell you, your mother went to find your father, and you can go after a while, are you satisfied with such an answer?" ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect Murong Yu to give such an answer, and I couldn't help but ask, "Then, I can leave this village now?" I won't have to keep vigil anymore? ”
"No, of course not, every year in July, you still have to come back to keep vigil, although the people in the village treat you badly, but without you, they will soon die." Murong Yu said lightly.
"Huh?" My eyes widened, I didn't expect that I would mean so much to this village.
"There's nothing to be surprised about, you'll find out the reason in the future, it's not early, you go home and sleep first." Murong Yu said.
Lu glanced at Murong Yu, and then said to me, "Jiang Cha, can you go home by yourself?" I have something I want to talk to him. ”
I nodded: "Of course you can, I didn't go back to the mountain road just now, what is so terrible about this road in the village." ”
"Okay, you can go back first." Yu said lightly, completely ignoring Murong Yu, who was frowning on the side.
I smiled, pulled out my flashlight and left.
Wei looked at my back and walked away, before turning to Murong Yu and asking, "Is it really good to lie to her like this?" ”
Murong Yu sighed: "It's expedient, I don't have any other way, but you still don't want to protect ginger tea in the future." ”
Xiao smiled, looked at Murong Yu and asked, "What?" Are you jealous? ”
"Yes, I'm very uncomfortable, especially when I see the way ginger tea looks at you." Murong Yu replied happily.
Yu was speechless for a while, and finally said lightly: "Okay, just listen to you, now you can finally pass the test of ginger tea, right?" ”
"Of course, but what's the matter with the female ghost that came out?" Murong Yu asked with a frown.
"What? So you were there? Lu glanced at Murong Yu.
"Yes, I'm far away, you haven't noticed me, it's just a ghost? Why can it peek into the fate of ginger tea? Murong Yu asked.
"I didn't know, I saw that she was about to tell the truth, so I had to kill her, and I didn't have time to ask what was going on." He shook his head and said.
"Well, like you said, it's a little complicated." Murong Yu said as he weighed the small bottle in his hand.
"In that case, let's start your next plan now, Jiang Cha has passed your test, is it necessary to stay in this village?" Wei nodded and asked.
"Just for a few days." Murong Yu looked at the stars in the sky, and then said: "Before leaving, there are still some things to deal with, that Wang Lin, I need to teach her a lesson." ”
