Chapter 6: The Woman in White

"What did she tell you?" I asked curiously

"It's nothing, I didn't hear clearly" Min Du seemed to be a little taboo

"Maybe you're missing a dream too much, I asked them just now, and it seems that I haven't seen a strange woman." Although I couldn't bear it, I still persuaded it

"No, no, no, I'm sure it's Ruomeng" Mindu shook his head and retorted,

Neither of them spoke, I lit a cigarette, and quickly snuffed it out when I saw the no-smoking sign, but I wanted to smoke again, so I took it and sniffed it under my nose.

"I want to get out of here," Mindo said suddenly.

"The police told us to wait," I prompted

"I know, I know" Min Du grabbed his hair, feeling painful.

"Not only this, if we leave, there may be no one to burn paper for Ruomeng, just now I contacted Ruomeng's husband Mr. Li, he refused to come, saying that he had broken off his righteousness, it seems that Ruomeng came out with us this time, and gave up a lot"

Min Du cried, sobbing quietly, it seemed that Ruomeng had told him something. I slapped him a few times and informed him of my intention to worship Ruomeng. When I asked him if he was going, he was silent for a long time before he said that he had to go, but he had to change his clothes, and he was covered in dust just now.

I went downstairs and asked for fruits, roast chicken, and wine were ready, and I asked for a few more bowls to spare.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, and the sun was about to set, and there was a little sunset. 5 kilometers away, and you can get there in the blink of an eye. In the place where Ruomeng placed her clothes, she set up the offerings, poured a few bowls of wine, lit three cigarettes, burned some paper money, and I toasted her, hoping that she would go all the way.

Mindu fell to his knees with tears in his eyes, looking at the photo of Ruomeng and pleading, "I want to talk to her."

"Well, then I'll drive the car to the bridge and wait for you."

"Thank you," Mindo said gratefully

I lay in the car, watching the sunset, gradually feeling a little sleepy, glancing at Mindu, still like that.

I don't know how much time has passed, I woke up and it was night, and I didn't see Mindu when I looked up, so I suddenly got up and looked around.

At this moment, in addition to worry, there was also some fear, and I anxiously called out Mindu's name and searched around on the bridge. Suddenly touched the phone, only to remember to call, but before I could dial, I heard "I'm here", it was Mindu's voice, I looked for the sound and saw Mindu coming up from under the bridge.

I ran over and punched Mindu in the chest, and said angrily, "Damn, what are you doing, didn't you hear Lao Tzu call you".

Mindu grinned and said miserably: "I want to dive, but I still don't have the courage, Ruomeng, I'm sorry." My irritation and anxiety disappeared in an instant, and I pulled him and left.

When I returned to the inn, I saw that the big and small students were drinking, and the two changed their clothes, although they were still vicissitudes, but they were much more normal. They invited us to have a few drinks together, but Min didn't want to, but I wanted to be close to them, and Min Du saw me sit down, so he had no choice but to join me.

The big and small students are cheerful people, and it is easy to know what they are doing, it turns out that they are looking for rare and even extinct animals and plants for some institutions or people nearby, which seems to me to be a bit dark, that is, illegal, but they don't care, saying that they are not black, at most gray. This is the gap in people's concepts, things that are not allowed in the law, in the eyes of people who exploit loopholes, I am too conformist, but I don't have the kind of real strength that is not black and white, what I can't judge and understand, don't evaluate.

The big and small students told me some things about partnering with people, so that I could see how bad these two people were.

Min Du may have really no intention of joking, and went upstairs with wine. I chatted with the students for a long time, it was 10 o'clock, and I didn't want to go back yet, maybe I didn't want to face the drunken Mindu.

Seeing that I was very interested, the students told me another story, which was roughly as follows:

A year ago, the big and small students returned late, saw a car parked at 1 kilometer of the highway, the two drove over, and turned back on foot to scare them by prank, 10 meters away when I heard the woman's wheezing, a few minutes later, and then heard the two chatting, the woman asked the man to divorce quickly, the man asked the woman to give him time, the woman complained that the man shirked, for the man and the woman gave up the family and children's work has nothing, the woman has been chattering, the man yelled a few words in annoyance and directly stimulated the woman, and then the two actually started to move, In the end, the man was ruthless and almost beat the woman to death, but fortunately, the big and small students stopped it. In the end, the man went to prison, and although the woman picked up a life, she was almost disfigured, and the family broke up, and finally she was alone.

"Why is this so?" I asked, puzzled.

Dasheng sighed: "Derailment, it is a momentary passion, after the passion, two people who may not understand, how can they have patience, how can they share weal and woe, once there is a dispute, it is easy to be excessive, that's all."

Just when we were emotional, we suddenly heard a scream from Mindu on the second floor, we hurriedly ran up, saw Mindu running out crazy, and shouted: "Ruomeng, Ruomeng is back." As soon as Min Du saw me, he hid behind me in a trembling manner, and when I asked where it was, Min Du pointed out the window in fear and said, "Where, in the wilderness outside the window."

We rushed into the room and looked out the window, the night was dark, there was nothing but stars in the distance.

We looked at Mindu suspiciously, and he said hysterically, "If the dream really comes back, it's floating outside."

Everyone shook their heads, they didn't believe it, even I thought he was overthinking, and when everyone walked out, Min ran to the window and shouted, "Don't go, she's really outside."

But his shouting stopped abruptly, and we looked back in confusion, and for a moment everyone was terrified, and as far as the eye could see, outside the window, like a dream hanging upside down, his hair was scattered, his eyes were round and wide, and he looked at Min Du with a hideous face, and Min Du stood on the spot, his legs trembling.

The big and small students reflected first, and rushed over to open the window, and Ruomeng flew backwards, like a ghost. The big and small students also jumped down from the window, chasing the ghost, habitually wanting to chase it, but after looking at the height, he hesitated.

Pulled up Mindu, who was pushed down on the bed, and hurriedly ran out, and when he came to the back of the house, Ruomeng and Xiaosheng disappeared, and Ah Fei who followed him kept asking what was going on, I replied that I met a female ghost, Ah Fei asked happily when he heard it, we ignored him and continued to run forward, and Ah Fei was curious and followed.

After running for 2 kilometers and encountering the big and small students he was looking for, Ah Fei asked first: "What about the ghost?"

"I chased all the way here, and I disappeared in a blink of an eye," Xiaosheng replied. The five of us searched the surrounding area, but we found nothing but to go back.

Back at the inn, everyone drank a bowl of soup to keep warm, and then Dasheng asked, "Are you sure that female ghost is your friend Ruomeng?"

Min Du nodded tremblingly, not knowing whether he was frozen or frightened, and he stammered when he spoke.

Dasheng looked at me, I was a little unsure, and replied truthfully: "I can't see it clearly when it's dark, but I guess it's a little similar."

"Yes, it must be," Mindu yelled suddenly.

I comforted Mindu and sat down, he was still shaking, holding my waist and not letting go.

Dasheng was puzzled: "It's less than a day before Ruomeng jumps into the river, and it will take seven days to return to the soul even if it is a day, and there is only one possibility to return to the soul in less than a day."
