Chapter 17: The Corner Girl

I was very tired, but I still had to walk on my own.

He silently picked up the equipment on the ground, which was the clue that Nanzhi had left for him.

In the picture, he is walking as if he is in front of him, all the way is smooth, without hesitation, as if he is walking as usual, and the next moment the camera is bumpy, and a black shadow flickers in the lens.

Then the shadow in the camera blurred, and it should be about to land.

However, a black hand caught it before it made a sound of rubbing against the ground, and he pointed the camera at himself and grimaced.

He had a mask on his face, but in the center of the mask, he could still see through the video that was not very clear, it was an "e".

The anger in Xiao He's heart exploded all of a sudden, but the next second he calmed down.

For there seemed to be a sound in the air, and it was sharp and poignant.

It's as if someone is crying.

Who?

After putting away the equipment, Xiao He listened carefully again, and the sound was intermittent, making his steps to move forward a little stiff.

He was a little skeptical that he was too sensitive and dismissed the slightest inadvertent movement as man-made.

"Little brother." The voice came again, a little weak.

"Woo woo woo ......"

This time he heard clearly, it was someone crying, like a child.

"Woo woo, little brother, can't you see me?" The girl's cry still lingered in her ears.

Xiao He suddenly realized that he seemed to have been walking on this street for a long time, but there was no one on this street, except for the person who suddenly appeared "e".

Why, at this moment, a child suddenly ran out?

"Who?" Thinking about the previous day, he thought that he was only afraid that he had encountered something unclean, right?

"Little brother." The girl was still crying, "Don't go any further, woo, don't, don't go any further." ”

"Who are you?" He shook his head from side to side trying to find the source of the sound, but when he saw it, it was so dark that he could only see a dim lamp lit at No. 183 in the distance.

"Little brother." The girl sobbed, her voice moving further away from him.

A cold little hand pinched his hanging right arm, and Xiao He instantly snorted.

Because of the touch of this hand, he thought of the only remaining ghoul in the tomb village.

Cold and stiff.

"You ......"

"Little brother, do you buy flowers?" The girl looked at him timidly.

This time, Xiao He unexpectedly saw the girl's face clearly.

It was a little girl of four or five years old, with two pigtails on her head, and she looked at him very seriously with her bloodless pupils, her face was as white as a blank piece of paper, and her small mouth was as dazzling as blood, which made people feel very weird.

The girl's face still had tears that had not dried up, and he knew that it must be this girl who was crying.

"Little brother, flowers, are you either?" The girl begged, "Would you like to buy one?" ”

The little girl worked very hard to hold the flowers above her head and handed them to him, but when she saw the bouquet of flowers, Xiao He gasped, and the whole person almost lost her breath.

Paper flowers, all kinds of paper flowers, lilies, roses, starry sky...... It's all made of blank paper!

"Hiss....." Xiao He only felt that his fingertips hurt badly, and when he saw it, he accidentally pricked it when he was hiding from the paper flower.

"Brother, are you bleeding?" The girl looked at him worriedly.

It's just that seeing her like this, Xiao He's heart is even more worried, he is worried that he will really explain here today.

"I'll send you." The girl put away the paper flower stained with the blood of his fingertips, but picked out a plain white flower from the basket that he couldn't name.

Xiao He was stunned, and he didn't know whether to pick it up or not, after all, this girl looked more like a ghost no matter how she looked at it.

Seeing that he hesitated slightly, the girl said again, "Little brother, I won't take your money." ”

It's just that can you believe the words of the devil?

The girl didn't care about it, and with that stiff hand she shoved the flower into the other, which he had not been injured.

Xiao He just looked at her like this, silent.

"Little brother, where are you going?" The little girl blinked at him again with her blank eyes, pinched his wound and said, "Little brother, you can't stay here." ”

"Why?" Seeing that she really didn't seem to have malicious intent, Xiao He let down his guard and asked.

"I don't know." The girl shook her head blankly, but said again in an affirmative tone, "You can't stay here anyway." ”

"Go to number 183."

He was testing the weight of Number 183 in this child's heart.

"What are you doing there?" Who knew that the girl didn't come as he thought, "Little brother, I'll take you to a place?" ”

"Where are you going?" Xiao He was a little stunned by the strength of this little girl, he felt that he was really about to be dragged away.

This feeling is really inexplicably familiar.

"Little brother." The girl's voice trembled a little, and for some reason she seemed to be crying again, "Promise me, don't lose it, okay?" ”

"Good" was stuck in his throat, and he suddenly remembered what Uncle Geng had said, don't trust anyone.

I remembered the strange things in the mountains and wilderness that my grandmother had said, and my grandmother said that there was a kind of ghost in this world that liked to follow behind people who haunted at night.

If you go out at night and are called by your name, don't do it. If you agree, you may inadvertently agree to the ghost's agreement, and it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Could this girl be that kind of ghost? Xiao He's heart swayed again.

"Okay." He thought that he must have committed a cheap crime in his bones.

"Little brother." There were tears in the corners of the girl's eyes, but a bright smile rose on the corners of her mouth, "You are so nice." ”

Xiao He was somehow infected by the smile on the girl's face, and he looked at the little girl with some curiosity, "Why do you call me little brother?" Isn't it the big brother? ”

"Because I've been dead for a long time." As if noticing that she had said the wrong thing, the little girl hurriedly covered her mouth.

She took a few steps back, looking at Xiao He's gaze was still so blank, but her little feet that kept moving back could see her timidity and worry.

"I ....." she opened her mouth to explain something, but she couldn't say anything, just waved her hand in a panic.

"It's fine." Xiao He took a deep breath and had already confirmed that this girl had no ill will towards him. He was glad he had made the choice.

Fortunately, I didn't hurt the sincerity of a little ghost.

He walked over to her and crouched down, "You look so cute. ”

"Really?" The girl looked at him in disbelief, and then smiled happily, "Let's go, little brother, I'll take you to meet the adults." ”

"Your Excellency?" Xiao He was a little puzzled.

"My lord can help you leave." The girl looked at him with some confusion, "Little brother, don't you know that you are dying?" ”

Dying?

Xiao He's heart tightened again with this sentence, could it be that the cycle was really the ninth day of the first month?

On the ninth day of the first month, the early morning of the day Uncle Geng appeared was also the ninth day of the first month?

"My lord, this little brother shouldn't be here!" The girl's childish voice suddenly sounded, pulling him back to reality.

"I know." The adult was looking at Xiao He with interest, "You are Qu Xiao He?" ”
