Chapter 49: Guardian Spirit (1)
Yi'an Town, Yulin City.
It is an ancient town with a long history that attracts a large number of tourists every year.
In August, it is the day of summer vacation for students, and the ancient town is full of people coming and going.
A pair of white tourist shoes stepped on the uneven bluestone path, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet alley.
The owner of the shoe walked through the somewhat dilapidated alleys and finally stopped in front of an old compound.
The door slowly opened from within, and a cool air poured out of it.
Just as the owner of the shoe raised his foot and was about to step in, a slightly low female voice came from behind him:
"What are you doing here?"
Joya felt her head groggy, and it seemed as if something in her ears had been calling to her.
She followed the sound in a daze, until a voice woke her up.
It was like a beam of light piercing the fog in front of her, making her chaotic thoughts gradually clear.
Joya blinked blankly, looked around, and realized that she had never been to this place at all.
Where is this?
How did she get here?
Joya remembered something, turned around, and saw a girl in a beige dress standing behind her.
Such a dress Joya also has a similar style, but in a different color.
The girl was holding a red oil-paper umbrella, and the oil-paper umbrella leaned forward slightly, and she could see the white plum outlined on the umbrella surface.
The girl's face was mostly obscured by an oil-paper umbrella, and only her fair chin and bright red lips could be seen.
"Did you just call me? This...... Where is this? ”
"It's being renovated, and there are very few tourists, are you lost?"
Joya didn't remember how she had come here, so she came here in a daze.
And it feels eerie and uncomfortable.
Qiao Ya rubbed her arm and said to the girl, "I seem to be lost, do you know how to get out?" ”
"Come with me."
The girl turned to walk forward with an umbrella, and Joya couldn't help but glance at the open compound, feeling as if something was staring at her inside.
A chill felt down Joya's spine, she didn't hesitate, and chased after the girl quickly.
The girl's hair was scattered over her shoulders, and her back always looked like an inexplicable sense of familiarity for Joya.
For some reason, Joya kept five steps away from the girl in front of her, and no matter how much she sped up, the distance remained the same.
This discovery made Joya's scalp tingle, and she wanted to stop, but the surroundings were unfamiliar, and the old houses on both sides of the alley looked eerie, so Joya had to follow the girl.
Qiao Ya didn't know how long she had been walking, and suddenly, the originally silent environment was broken by a noise, as if someone had opened the enchantment.
Qiao Ya looked up and found that she had stood at the entrance of the alley without knowing when she was in front of the antique street where she and her friends had been shopping.
The sun shines on the body, feeling warm and dispelling the chill in the body.
"Go find your companions."
Qiao Ya turned around suddenly, and the girl who had been walking in front stood behind her for some reason, her face still blocked by the oil-paper umbrella.
"Remember to go back and soak up the sun."
The girl's voice seemed to be deliberately low, but it was gentle.
"You ......"
Qiao Ya wanted to say something, but someone slapped her on the shoulder.
"Joya, where did you go?! It's gone in a blink of an eye, we've been looking for you for most of the day! ”
"That's right, the phone can't get through, we're in a hurry!"
Qiao Ya turned her head to see that it was a few classmates who had come together.
Qiao Ya didn't know what to say, only that she accidentally got lost, and a girl took her out.
"She's right there."
Everyone looked in the direction of Joya's finger, but they saw nothing but a narrow alley.
"Joya, that's no one!"
Qiao Ya was also shocked in her heart, obviously she was still standing there just now!
"Okay, maybe they're gone, let's continue shopping."
"That's right, I just saw a shop that buys handmade jewelry, let's go check it out!"
Joya followed everyone towards the crowded crowd, and she couldn't help but glance back at the empty alley.
For some reason, she had a subtle familiarity with the girl.
Under the red oil-paper umbrella, the girl watched as Joya and her companion walked away.
The oil-paper umbrella was raised slightly, revealing a face identical to that of Joya......
***
Xingyun held an umbrella and looked up at the old compound, which was shrouded in a rich yin aura in her eyes.
The door was still open, and Xingyun walked in with her legs raised.
As soon as you entered, you could feel the temperature plummet, and the cold yin qi was wrapped around Xingyun, but Xingyun exhaled comfortably.
With a "bang", the door behind him slammed shut.
Xing Yun lowered her head, put away the oil-paper umbrella slowly, and asked at the empty courtyard, "Just now, who brought her over?" ”
The courtyard was silent.
Xingyun didn't care, she put away the oil-paper umbrella and put it under a tall locust tree, then pushed open the door of the main house and walked in.
Soon, there was a terrible scream of ghosts crying wolves in the whole courtyard......
The door was opened again, and Xingyun walked out, and couldn't help but burp.
Yin Qi absorbs too much, and it's a bit overwhelmed.
She looked up at the sun outside and reopened her umbrella.
Behind her, the yin aura that shrouded the compound dissipated a lot, and the originally gloomy house looked much brighter.
Xingyun walked slowly on the bluestone path, and after turning a few corners, she came to a remote stall where she bought oil-paper umbrellas.
A gray-haired grandmother was sitting on the surface of an oil-paper umbrella.
Xingyun put away the umbrella and gently placed it beside the old grandmother.
The old grandmother raised her head, squinted at Xingyun for a while, and asked with a smile, "Have you found anyone?" ”
"Found it."
"It's good to find it, the sun is so big, it's good that you don't come out."
Xingyun smiled and nodded.
At this time, a young couple holding hands passed by, and the girl glanced at the oil-paper umbrella that the grandmother was drawing, and took her boyfriend's hand.
"Wow, there are still oil-paper umbrellas sold in such a remote place, and these oil-paper umbrellas are so beautiful, much better than those sold in the shops outside!"
The girl couldn't help but want to buy one when she looked at such a beautiful oil-paper umbrella, but she was dazzled by the picking, and she couldn't wait to buy them all back.
At this time, she saw the red umbrella placed next to her grandmother, and as soon as she picked it up, she felt a burst of coolness in her hand.
When I opened it, I was immediately attracted by the red plum on the umbrella, and I felt much cooler under the umbrella.
"Mother-in-law, I want this!" The girl couldn't put it down.
"I'm sorry, but this umbrella is not for sale."
People who use this umbrella may be sick for a few days, and they will have to be exposed to the sun for a few days.
The girl grinded for a long time, and the grandmother did not let go, and finally bought an oil-paper umbrella with a similar pattern.
The old grandmother watched the man scan the code and pay, glanced at his shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Young man, there are some things that you should not do too much." ”
Chen Zhou frowned, feeling inexplicable.
He put away his phone, took the girl's hand and left.
This girlfriend has only been dating for a few months, tonight is the last night here, and he will go back tomorrow, and he thinks about how to get her to promise him to break through the last line of defense tonight.
Xingyun leaned against the wall, watching the two walk away, and the man moved his neck as he walked, as if he felt a little tired on his shoulders.
"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, thank you for taking care of me these days."
The old grandmother lowered her head and prepared to close the stall, "Be careful in the future, don't be exposed to the noon sun again." ”
"Hmm."
When the old woman looked up, her surroundings were empty, as if the previous conversation had been a hallucination.
She sighed lightly and continued her movements......
