Chapter 160: The Phantom
,
Her voice is very strange, and when you hear it, you will have a strange feeling in your heart, not good or bad, but it is a strange one that is so unique that it cannot be described.
I had a bad feeling in my heart that I wanted to escape as soon as possible, get out of that strange place, and go back to sleep as soon as possible.
I don't know the place well, if something happens, I'm afraid Shen Mo's parents won't be at ease, she will marry me.
I politely said "thank you" to the old lady and turned around to go back, but just as I turned around, she spoke:
"Young man, since you've come here, let's sit with grandma for a while, sort of chat with me, tell me what the outside world is like now, and have you built a lot of buildings?"
I wanted to refuse, but looking at her expectant eyes, I couldn't say anything about the refusal.
Lao Zhou also said to me before, saying that I am a bad and good person, always blindly kind when I shouldn't be kind, but I don't know how to leave a way for people to go when I should be kind.
I didn't know what the basis for what he said at the time, but many years later, I realized that Lao Zhou's words were referring to my character at that time.
I hesitated, and sat down across from her, I was in the moonlight, and she was still cowering in the shadows, and I couldn't see her face even though they were facing each other.
"How old are you, young man?"
"Twenty-five."
"Who are you in the family?"
"There's no one left, and my parents are gone."
"Listen to your accent, you're not a local, are you?"
"Yes, I'm a northerner."
It was exactly the same question as Shen Mo's parents, and I patiently answered it completely, even more detailed than Shen Mo's parents, and asked me where I had a mole.
By the time she had asked all her questions, it was already the second half of the night, and I couldn't open my sleepy eyes.
Even in the end, I was subconsciously answering her questions, and I didn't seriously think about it at all.
As for what we all said, I don't remember any of them except for the basic questions.
When she finally said to me, "When I go back and go to bed early," I almost jumped up.
The moment I turned around, she said behind me:
"Go ahead, and the seventh alley is your home."
I said "thank you" in a daze, walked a dozen steps forward, and suddenly realized something:
"I don't seem to have mentioned Shen Mo's name to her!"
Suddenly looking back at the mouth of the alley, only the shadow of the wall remained, but the old lady was long gone.
Instantly, my scalp was numb and I felt sleepy.
stumbled back to Shen Mo's house, lying on the bed but couldn't sleep.
It's a little weird here, first the strange dream, the well. Then there was the sound of someone falling into the water, and then a strange old lady came out.
What's next?
Thoughts swirled around in my head, and I was a complete mess of myself.
I can't help but worry about these things, the previous things haven't completely passed, and now that new things are starting to happen, I really don't know what to do.
It's impossible to leave here, and Shen Mo agreed to live here with her parents for a month, if she goes back like this, she will definitely think that I don't want to be with her parents.
And these things can't be told to her as they are, then she will be even more worried about getting angry.
I really don't know what other options I have than to grit my teeth and hold on.
Take things as they come.
It's easy to say, but it's really not easy to do.
From that day on, I never went out alone, even though I still couldn't sleep for a long time every night.
It's not that I'm scared, it's that I don't want to be here and cause any trouble at this time.
But it's not like I'm going to be able to dodge if I want to, it's going to happen the same way, but in a different form.
Like, endless nightmares.
It was from that night onwards that I had all kinds of nightmares every day, and I could see things that I hadn't even thought about before.
I was absolutely sure that what I had seen in my dreams had never been seen before.
With so many things pressed in my heart, it is inevitable that Shen Mo will see it at some times, and within a few days, she began to ask me if I didn't like it here, or if I didn't like her parents.
Faced with her fairy-like premonition, I really didn't know how to tell her, so I could only blame everything on the lack of adaptation.
I didn't tell Shen Mo about the dreams I had, because I didn't want her to know these things, she was a person who couldn't hide things in her heart, once she told her, she would tell her parents, in that case, even if I came in vain this time, it would be a little difficult for her parents to accept me in the future.
I thought of that QQ group, and I thought, saying these things there should allow me to get both catharsis and possibly a solution to the problem.
One afternoon, Shen Mo accompanied her mother out to buy groceries, and the two of them probably had something to say, so they refused to follow me, sat alone in the house, turned on the computer, and logged in to the QQ number.
In the beginning, I said something about myself, but then I didn't talk about myself anymore after there were more people.
It's always been them asking me about it, looking for ways to solve the problem or asking for help directly, and I think someone will be able to pay some attention to me when I talk about these things at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as I posted about these recent events, someone sent me a private chat message with the nickname "Mosquito in Winter", and I quickly slid the mouse to open the dialog box.
"I've heard of this kind of thing, and if I'm not mistaken, the water town you two are talking about is the same place. Moreover, this fact generally only happens to outsiders, and their natives are not aware of it. ”
I was a little surprised, and replied:
"What is the reason for this? Could it be that the ghosts here are still xenophobic? ”
"Actually, it's not, judging by the things you said, they don't have any aggressive behavior towards you, nor do they have any hostility, maybe it's just out of concern."
I was even more surprised, and even somewhat suspected that this person was entertaining me.
"Are you kidding? My first time here, why do they care about me? ”
The other party was silent for a while, and then sent another message:
"You're too self-indulgent, did I say it was because I cared about you?"
