Sheng Shiyao didn't explain immediately, but got up and walked around the house, and stood by the door for a few seconds before turning around and beckoning to me, "You come here." I walked over as I said, I didn't know why, and when I met him, I was silent, and I couldn't help but ask, "Tell me what you mean by that just now." ”
He shook his head before he said, "Don't you notice anything wrong?" ”
As soon as he reminded him, remembering his actions just now, he couldn't help but carefully observe the situation around him, and suddenly a fragrance entered his nose, the smell was very light, and if he didn't smell it hard, he wouldn't notice it at all. Sniffing the smell, I began to search, and finally in the corner of the crack in the door, I found something that seemed to be incense ash.
"It's ......"
"Incense, containing sleep aids."
Struck dumb! If this hadn't happened before, it would have been thought that my aunt had deliberately lit it to let me sleep soundly, but now I just think it's very problematic. It's not just this incense, the whole thing is very weird, a single woman, in the middle of the night, actually dares to take in four strangers, three of them are men, she is not afraid that we are bad people? This is one of them. The second is the fact that I was allowed to live in her daughter's house, if you say ...... Her daughter Osmanthus is no longer there, so this house will generally be strictly guarded to prevent outsiders from stepping in, rather than letting me live in it arbitrarily.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt hairy, and the aunt's motives were really suspicious. At this time, Sheng Shiyao said slowly: "Su body, just the literal meaning, is obvious. It's the same as parasites, which are epiphytic to another animal, which is called the host. If you hadn't slept during the day, you would have slept on the bed when you lay down, and then the incense would have boosted your sleep even more, and would have made you fall into a dark state, which would have made it easier for the woman to perform the ritual. ”
"What ritual?" I heard my voice trembling.
Sheng Shiyao glanced at me and replied lightly: "Didn't you already see it just now?" ”
With a chuckle in his heart, he looked at him with round eyes, "You mean...... That aunt was performing this parasitic ritual just now? "Oh my God, if that osmanthus is really dead, does the aunt want her daughter's soul to possess me and resurrect me as a host? This...... It's outrageous, although there are ghosts from ancient times to the present, but there is no scientific basis for it.
Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps outside the house again, my heart sank, Sheng Shiyao pulled me to a dark corner, bit my ear and said, "Stand here and don't move." After saying that, he dodged and walked quickly back to the bed and lay down on my bed.
Just as the footsteps stopped outside the door, I held my breath and my heart jumped to my throat. A shrill sound came from the doorknob, the lock was turning, and with a very soft "click", the door was pushed open from the outside. A figure walked in, and from the size and height of the aunt, she knew that it was the aunt, and there seemed to be a spark in her hand. I squinted in the darkness and realized that the spark was supposed to be three incense sticks lit. The black shadow didn't stay for half a moment, and walked directly to the bed, and stopped in front of the bed.
I saw her holding incense and bowing three times to the air, and muttered: "Girl, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for being unlucky." It seems that this was said to me, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly, which means that I hit the muzzle of the gun? I don't know what this aunt likes about me, and thinks that her daughter can stay on me.
When her mind turned, the aunt suddenly leaned down, put the incense on the top of the bed, and then said while fanning: "Osmanthus, go in." "After three seconds, it was repeated several times. Suddenly, a soft sound overflowed from her mouth, and she removed the incense in her hand and stretched out her other hand.
Oh no, she's going to lift the quilt!
