Chapter 14: Catching Ghosts (2)
Nangong Jun's actions can be described as done in one go, Feng Xiying didn't have time to stop it, Nangong Jun was almost at the end of the stairs.
Feng Xiying wasn't sure what the white shadow she saw just now was, so she wanted to remind Nangong Jun to follow suit.
Then she saw Nangong Jun's feet crooked, leaning on the escalator suddenly, and barely holding on to the handrail with both hands.
The air was suddenly extremely tense.
For a long time, Nangong Jun squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Xiaoying!" Come on! ”
It's not that Nangong Jun is brave, it's just that his legs are really weak now, and he can't stand, let alone run. Since he can't run away, it's better to leave Feng Xiying a glorious and great image.
Feng Xiying looked at him very nervously, and asked in a low voice, "What did you see?" ”
Nangong Jun had a hard time even turning around, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't say a word.
Feng Xiying was even more anxious when she saw him like this, after all, she was the one who pulled Nangong Jun into the water, and she couldn't really ignore him, but his state invisibly added a kind of psychological pressure to people.
Not to mention whether there are really ghosts on it, just say that Nangong Jun makes Feng Xiying very uncomfortable like this.
Feng Xiying touched it in a few steps and glanced at Nangong Jun, who had a stiff face at this time.
She followed Nangong Jun's gaze, her body shook, and she and Nangong Jun both leaned on the escalator.
There were a few people squatting under the table on the second floor!
The tablecloth hung down, the light was dim, and the few people under the table stared at Feng Xiying and the others expressionlessly.
Feng Xiying's mind flashed the terrifying picture of the movie "Curse", and together with Nangong Jun, he maintained a somewhat funny posture and stalemate with several people opposite.
At this time, Nangong Jun recovered a little strength and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoying, can you run now?" ”
Feng Xiying swallowed her saliva, "There are so many, I'm afraid I won't be able to win." ”
As soon as these words came out, Feng Xiying suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Isn't the legend haunted because of the haunting ghost of a geisha? But here... Feng Xiying counted it, and there were five of them!
The next moment, Feng Xiying suddenly became possessed like Conan, and as soon as he slammed himself up, he strode towards the direction of the table.
Nangong Jun watched Feng Xiying's movements, and tears were about to fall.
As Feng Xiying approached, the few people under the table actually shrank back in fear, which confirmed Feng Xiying's conjecture: they were not ghosts! It's people!
Feng Xiying dragged the tablecloth and waved, and the whole table was presented in front of her without any obstruction.
There are even more!
There were more than a dozen children squatting under the long table, and Feng Xiying lifted the tablecloth and ran away in all directions like birds and beasts.
Nangong Jun also recovered from the extreme fright at this time, and found that the so-called "ghosts" turned out to be a group of children?
He relieved himself, stepped onto the second floor, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a leisurely singing voice from the third floor, much clearer than the first time I heard it.
Feng Xiying already had confidence in her heart at this time, and said: "You dare to pretend to be a ghost, and if you are caught by this girl, you won't break your dog's head!" After that, he was going to the third floor.
But the children who scattered and avoided suddenly ran back and stopped at the staircase on the third floor, preventing Feng Xiying from going up.
Feng Xiying took a closer look at this group of children, they were of different ages, there were men and women, but they were all ragged and dirty, probably because they couldn't keep up with their nutrition, and they were all skinny.
Feng Xiying said: "Get out of the way." ”
The group of children, though frightened, were more determined to stop the staircase.
"If you don't get out of the way, I'll do it!" Feng Xiying scared them.
As soon as Feng Xiying finished speaking, the singing stopped abruptly, and faint footsteps came from upstairs. Finally Ken showed up.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, a girl about the same age as Feng Xiying walked down.
The group of children shouted one after another, "Sister Lian." ”
The woman smiled at them, signaling that they were okay, and then walked up to Feng Xiying and knelt down: "The strong man is so courageous, he dares to break into this ghost building." The little woman pretending to be a ghost was really helpless, and it disturbed the strong man to feel deeply guilty. It's just that these children are instructed by me to scare you, and I ask the strong men to let them go. ”
After hearing this, the group of children knelt down one after another, and said nonsense: "It's not about Sister Lian's business, it's our fault, don't beat Sister Lian!" ”
Feng Xiying saw this battle and immediately understood, it is estimated that in order to find a place for these children, this Sister Lian tried her best to make this place a ghost building.
Since they are poor people, Feng Xiying naturally will not embarrass them.
Feng Xiying helped the woman up and sighed, "I'm not here to trouble you, it's just that you probably can't stay here anymore." ”
The woman was also sensible, and said softly: "Well, we originally occupied this place, and now that the matter has come to this, naturally we don't dare to stay any longer." ”
Feng Xiying looked at the group of children and asked, "These are your relatives?" ”
The woman looked at them with pity, shook her head, and said, "I picked up all the orphans. ”
As soon as these words came out, the woman's image instantly became two meters eight.
Feng Xiying was surprised: "You raise them alone? What do you, a weak woman, feed them on? ”
The woman smiled helplessly and said, "I will go to do casual labor, and I will also beg for some food, although it is difficult, but none of them starved to death." ”
Feng Xiying couldn't help but applaud her, and even Nangong Jun on the side admired this woman from the bottom of her heart.
After applauding, Feng Xiying smiled and said to the woman: "Anyway, you are also sleeping in the open with them, or you can follow me." ”
The woman's face showed bitterness after hearing this, but she still said politely: "Xie Zhuangshi is kind, but although the little woman is not very talented, she still wants to support herself." ”
Well? Isn't it self-reliance to follow yourself? What does this mean?
Feng Xiying glanced at Nangong Jun, then looked at herself again, and suddenly understood that this woman had misunderstood herself.
With a grin, he grabbed the woman's hand and touched it to his chest.
Where did the woman think that the scholar-like person in front of her was so, her face turned red suddenly, and she struggled to shake off Feng Xiying's hand.
Feng Xiying didn't let go, and the next moment, the woman felt very familiar to the touch.
She looked at Feng Xiying suspiciously, scratched it again, and exclaimed, "You are..."
"Is the girl willing to mess with me now?" Feng Xiying let go of her hand and asked with a smile.
The woman nodded vigorously, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Miss, Lian'er will definitely be a cow and a horse for Miss in the future!" ”
Feng Xiying helped her up and said, "But you have to go with me and explain it to the people outside, otherwise I won't be able to take you around." ”
The woman wiped her tears, nodded and said, "Listen to Miss." ”
"It's Childe." Feng Xiying corrected her.
As soon as he turned around to see Nangong Jun looking at him with a red face, thinking of what he had just done, Feng Xiying coughed embarrassedly twice, "Thank you Nangong Shizi today, I will have to thank you another day." Now that everything is clear, there will be no longer any more delays in Nangong Shizi's time. ”
Nangong Jun came back to his senses, turned his head awkwardly, and replied: "There is no need for generous gifts, it's just that it's been a day of tossing today, and I'm hungry, otherwise if you invite me to dinner, you should take it as a thank you." ”
Compared with bothering to choose gifts, Nangong Jun's request is not only intimate but also practical.
Feng Xiying nodded, "Little meaning, let's go to Phoenix Tower for a good meal later." ”
There were more people gathered outside, and many people heard that someone had broken into the ghost building, and they came to see the excitement.
When Feng Xiying and Nangong Jun came out, the people who ate melons were amazed and applauded for their courage.
looked at more than a dozen people coming out one after another, and looked at each other even more.
After Lian'er stepped forward to apologize to everyone, she explained the cause and effect of the haunting of the Qinglou, and everyone woke up from the shock.
With the departure of Feng Xiying and others, the crowd gradually dispersed.
The people who eat melons are not only addicted to watching it, but they also exaggerate propaganda everywhere.
One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and for a while, the story of Nangong Shizi and the mysterious new Xiaosheng was well known, and the two became popular inexplicably.
