CHAPTER XXXI

In the unusually dilapidated corridor of the simple and vulgar environment, a dark wind penetrated through some crevice, as if something was staring at them sympathetically. Xu Chu held his breath and didn't dare to be careless.

"What do you mean by that?" Compared to the groom who followed behind him who was frightened and held his breath, Xu Chu raised his eyebrows and asked with a little curiosity.

"Titicaca......" Junko didn't reply, but the corners of his mouth were weirdly torn apart, and bursts of terrifying laughter came out. After a long time, the sly smile that made people break out in a cold sweat came to an abrupt end, "Naturally, it's because it's haunted, who doesn't know that the radius is full of lonely ghosts, and they like to come out to hunt for food at night." ”

Now there seemed to be only the three of them on the second floor, and the Shunzi pulled the corners of his mouth like a lonely soul, and said slowly: "Those hungry ghosts who have no place to return like fresh carnivorous food on people the most......"

His voice was low, dragging a long tone, and it became more and more gloomy in the ears of Xu Chu and Ma Fu.

Seeing that the two of them were not speaking, he immediately led the two to the room as usual.

Entering the room, Xu Chu briefly glanced at the layout of the room, it was really simple. I've been tired all day, and now that I've found a place to stay, no matter what's wrong, I can't still stand stupidly. But as soon as she sat down, she heard an inexplicable and extremely sad cry, and bursts of women's coquettish laughter......

Xu Chu's eyes suddenly tightened, and his face became a little solemn. At this time, her fingers repeatedly rubbed against the table in front of her, and her hand was uneven, as if she had been slashed by a sword. If you look closely, you can still faintly see a trace of dark red flowing from the ravine.

But when she bent down to take a closer look, she found that the table was flat and neat, and there was just some unswept dust.

She has never believed in ghosts and gods, and she is even more scornful of the so-called ghosts and ghosts. But even though she told herself that she was hallucinating countless times, she couldn't help but feel a chill rise from her heels.

At night, the rain was getting heavier outside, but outside there was no clear extinction, and the shadows of the trees fell on the windows, like ghosts and hideous and terrifying.

Xu Chu sat up suddenly, didn't bother to light the lamp, and took a few steps forward to push the window over. At the end of the line of sight was a vast wilderness, with a faint glow in the lonely grave in the distance. The wind rose, and the rain blew into the window slightly, wetting the back of her hand that had not yet been put away, and the coldness was refreshing, making her feel in a trance.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the next door, and the groom galloped out, stumbling without panic.

"Hell......"

The sudden exclamation made Xu Chu's heart suddenly frightened, and the chill that followed her climbed up her back again, and finally flowed down the veins to her limbs.

"Titicaca...... Titicaca...... Help ......" Between the four miles of wilderness, there was a faint and fragmented sound, and Xu Chu seemed to hear the poignant sound and murmuring at the beginning.

She quietly opened the toolbox, found the autopsy knife and hid it in the palm of her hand, and then moved to the door with a pale face and a creepy horror. Outside...... Whoever it was, she would never believe there would be any lonely ghosts.

Xu Chu suddenly pulled the door open, but saw the horseman who was driving the car during the day stumbling to him, and said in a panic: "Girl, I won't run away this time, you can find another carriage by yourself......

At this time, his whole person was already a little upside down, and he didn't care what Xu Chu meant, he ran down the stairs directly, and then went all the way to the backyard to catch the carriage and rushed out of the door.

At this point, Xu Chu didn't know what he saw, let alone why he was suddenly frightened. But she couldn't think about it too much, so she was grabbed by the hand that suddenly stretched out behind her.

Her nerves had already been extremely tight due to several abnormalities, and at this time she was even more frightened, and the autopsy knife in her hand suddenly threw back, even if she couldn't kill someone, at least she could leave some traces. But when she turned around, she found that there was nothing behind her, just an empty room, and the window that had not had time to close was swaying in the wind and rain.

Xu Chu's body was tense, full of horror, she thought she was cautious, bold and careful, even if she went in and out of the morgue since she was a child, she didn't even blink an eye when she dissected the corpse, let alone cover her eyes for any sneaky crime. But now...... Her delicate and fair face was really pale at this time, and she secretly wondered what was going on.

In the gloomy and narrow environment, the night was silent, only Xu Chu stood quietly and motionless.

Suddenly, Xu Chu's mind suddenly flashed back to the strange performance of the guy named Shunzi when he entered the house before.

He once said that there are lonely ghosts going out to hunt for food at night.

It's like—yes, it's that weird and horrible laugh, which doesn't seem to be human. and his lifeless face and appearance, he is not an ordinary person at all......

Suddenly, Xu Chu's blood and qi flowed backwards, his limbs were full of coldness, and he didn't have the slightest strength left in his body.

The sunlight was a little dazzling, which made Xu Chu move uneasily, and then her eyelashes moved slightly, and she suddenly woke up. When I opened my eyes, I found that I was sleeping peacefully on the bed. And the sun that rose outside at some point was falling on her face through the unclosed window, warm but could not dispel the chill in her heart.

Last night's events were like a dream. But the half-open window, and the undried water droplets on the window, clearly showed that it was not a vain dream.

Xu Chu knew in his heart that he did not have the habit of sleepwalking. She suddenly got up and walked straight to the toolbox, only to see that the autopsy knife had been neatly placed inside. Then, she took a few more steps from the door, searching, and found an inconspicuous mark on the wooden floor.

Her fingers rubbed back and forth, her eyes darkened. This is the trace left by his own autopsy knife, because the autopsy knife is different from the knife next to it, so the traces left are also different.

What went wrong, those ethereal and empty women's smiles and cries for help were really just hallucinations?

Xu Chu pondered all the strangeness since he came to the inn from yesterday to today, the beautiful female shopkeeper, the lifeless guy Junzi, and the slimy mud on his feet......

At this moment, she suddenly heard a fast horse kicking and trampling from far and near, and before she could think about it any more, she heard the female shopkeeper in the inn lobby shouting: "Is the girl a sharp or a hotel?" ”

"Shopkeeper, I'm looking for someone."

Xu Chu froze when he heard this, raised his eyebrows slightly, and listened to the voice like Xiao Mingzhu?

She is no longer entangled, this is not a place to stay for a long time, and she doesn't want Xiao Mingzhu to be in danger here. Moreover, if she guessed correctly, this Furong Inn must have other inside information.

That is, in a few breaths, before she could walk out of the door, she suddenly found that there was no sound outside. Immediately after, Xu Chu hurriedly jumped forward across the corridor and put his body on the railing.

I saw that the lobby was still deserted, only the beautiful female shopkeeper was still smiling and fiddling with the abacus in the counter, and Junzi was standing in front of Xiao Mingzhu and saying something. She didn't have any surprise when she saw Xiao Mingzhu, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next scene made her heart rise high again.

I saw that Xiao Mingzhu, who was still smart and lively just now, suddenly became sluggish in an instant, and then turned his head and was about to walk out. Xu Chu didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly said loudly: "Mingzhu ......"

Just for a moment, I saw Xiao Mingzhu, who was still sluggish a moment ago, and suddenly came back to his senses. She looked at her blankly for a moment, as if stunned, before turning to look for the voice that had just called her.

At this time, Xu Chu's eyes stared at her for a moment, and he walked downstairs quickly. Of course, she didn't ignore the light cough of Junzi a moment ago, and the collision sound of the abacus beads in the female shopkeeper's hand suddenly disappearing.

With a flash of inspiration in her head, she finally knew what was wrong.

It's the abacus, and Junko's eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling. Last night's events were too terrifying, so her attention had been on Junko's sudden weird laughter and words full of meaning, but she ignored the crackling abacus sound she had been hearing, and Junko's flickering eyes.

"Shopkeeper, this is my sister-in-law, and she will leave with me today." Xu Chu pulled Xiao Mingzhu's arm to his side, looked at her secretly, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so he looked at the female shopkeeper at the counter with a smile.

Xiao Mingzhu didn't know what Xu Chu meant, but when she saw her eagerness when she came down, she knew in her heart that Xu was reckless, so she didn't dare to speak casually.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a handsome girl, presumably the girl's mother is also a beauty." The female shopkeeper put down the abacus in her hand, covered her mouth and smiled. "But speaking of beauties, there was also a beauty in our inn."

"Well, it's been a long time, so why don't you two sit down and rest for a while, and listen to me tell you about that strange thing. By the way, I'll ask Shunzi to prepare some meals for the two of you, and if you go on the road for a while, you won't have an empty stomach. ”

The female shopkeeper lazily waved the handkerchief in her hand, and the fragrance instantly diffused, making Xu Chu shiver inexplicably, and a thin layer of goosebumps appeared on her arms. This is the most direct instinct for danger and death that has been working with corpses for many years.

She held back the constant turmoil in her heart, and took Xiao Mingzhu's right hand to gradually become cold, she knew in her heart that this was because of fear, so the blood in her limbs flowed back to her heart.

Suddenly, she suddenly remembered what she had heard in the morgue in Cangyan County a few months ago.

In several villages ruled by hundreds of miles outside Yunzhou, thieves are rampant, looting the property in the village every year, and even kidnapping many young and beautiful women. Yunzhou has sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, but there is no trace of those people, and no woman can be found......
