Chapter 30: The Path of Bliss 5
The freckled woman in Tsing Yi walked in front of her stiff body like a piece of paper, and we followed behind her, descending from the second floor to the first floor.
When passing through the banquet, the ghosts who only cared about eating and drinking were completely blind to our existence, even if Tang Xiaoyu accidentally knocked over the tea on a ghost table during the banquet when he was walking, the ghost who was drenched in the tea on his chest still only cared about solving the roast chicken on the plate, and he didn't even bring his eyelids up for a moment.
"There's definitely something wrong here." I pulled Tang Xiaoyu closer to my side, and my voice was extremely low: "No matter what happens for a while, don't eat anything here, not even water...... Remember? β
"Ah......?" Tang Xiaoyu saw that I suddenly looked at her with a serious face, and a panicked look immediately appeared in her eyes: "...... I also felt that something was wrong, and I wanted to apologize to him...... But he doesn't seem to see me at all......"
I tried my best to suppress the hunger that I couldn't ignore in my abdomen, and cheered up in the harsh environment filled with the aroma of food, and whispered to Tang Xiaoyu: "Tsk...... This is called just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den...... It's really a little back, when I want to have a meal, it's a black shop casually......"
Tang Xiaoyu widened her black eyes, looked around nervously, as if answering me, and as if advising herself, she nodded like a chicken: "...... You can't eat any of the food this inn has to offer, I remember. β
"You can't drink water." I looked at Tang Xiaoyu's panicked appearance, and couldn't help but remind her again.
Tang Xiaoyu raised his eyes to meet my gaze, his expression was as serious as a soldier who was about to go to the battlefield to charge: "Well, I-I'm not hungry at all, and I'm not thirsty at all-I don't need to eat or drink water!" β
"Shhhh
Hearing me say this, Tang Xiaoyu's face seemed to turn slightly red, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then asked me timidly, "That...... Shall we not wait for Anan? What if he can't find us when he comes back later? β
"Huh, Anan?" I turned my head to look out of the door of the inn and chuckled, "I said I would wait for him, do you really believe me?" ...... Who knows which crack he ran to, and whether he will come back is still unclear. β
Looking at Tang Xiaoyu's confused eyes, I pointed to him, thinking about the delicious food that filled the table with fragrant aromas and had not yet had time to eat, and I had been reluctant to give up, turning around three times and walking slowly at the end of the earring.
"If I don't say that, that guy won't finish tossing?"
As far as the facts are concerned, a few of us are neither related nor have any causes, it is pure bad luck to be able to get together, and whether we have the ability to survive in the cracks of this country that has fallen into a demon country can only be done by ourselves.
That black-skinned man named Anan was completely justified to leave without saying hello, and he didn't have any reason to tie us up.
Tang Xiaoyu waved his hand at the young man with the earrings, motioning for him to follow us, and asked me blankly: "Since you all know that there is a problem here, why don't we just leave here and continue to follow her?" β
"Let's go? Do you think we'll be able to get away now? β
I replied to Tang Xiaoyu's words disappreciatively.
"Huh? What do you mean ......? β
Tang Xiaoyu is also the same, he can't figure out anything.
"When the woman in Tsing Yi came over just now, she seemed to have noticed that we were suspicious of this place...... I slowed down my speech and explained to Tang Xiaoyu carefully: "In this way, if we want to go out directly from this gate now, I'm afraid it's not so easy. β
"I'm afraid ......" Tang Xiaoyu lowered his head and was silent for a while, but in the end, he only held back these three words.
Tang Xiaoyu was originally timid, she had only been frightened once before when she was in the Dementor Palace, I saw that her face was red and white, not very relieved, Tang Xiaoyu's expression is familiar to me, generally speaking, as long as this red and white walk back and forth a few times, this girl will definitely have to be paralyzed on the ground and unable to walk.
So, I had to adjust my serious face to make myself look as approachable as possible, and reassured her: "-Don't worry, if they have real skills, they don't have to engage in these fancy gimmicks, and they will be done if they just catch us?" Right? As long as you don't eat the food here, you'll be fine! β
Tang Xiaoyu's nervousness belongs to the type of saying that wind is rain, and at this time, he can't even lift his breath, and his eyes are full of the words 'overwhelmed' written in his eyes: "But-but I'm still, scared...... What to do? β
I'm most afraid of seeing girls like this, and I guess I have to find something to calm Tang Xiaoyu's heart first, or after a while, the female ghost in Tsing Yi with a freckled face will know that the situation is different, and maybe the three of us will be slaughtered halfway.
When I fumbled around my body, I found that I was poor and had nothing but the broken bronze box in my pocket.
So, I had no choice but to take out the bronze box and put it in Tang Xiaoyu's hand, with an extremely serious face: "That's it, you take this first." β
Tang Xiaoyu looked down at the palm-sized bronze box in his palm, and looked at me worriedly: "What is this?" β
"This thing is amazing, don't look at it in tatters, there is an ancestral talisman of my Lin family in it, which can drive away ghosts and ward off evil spirits, and change the town house for feng shui......"
Tang Xiaoyu blinked at me and said in disbelief: "Exorcision-exorcism??" β
Ah, it seems that the bull is blowing on the butt of the cow, and Lao Tzu forgot that he was originally a ghost.
So, I immediately patted my chest and added, "Thisβdon't worry, it's specifically for exorcismβthose who want to harm you!" β
Yes, that's right, that's it, Lao Tzu is really smart and witty!
Tang Xiaoyu looked at me in disbelief for a while, and finally hesitated: "This is your ancestral treasure, how can I accept it easily?" β
"You take it first, and when you get out of the inn in a while, you will return it to me."
I asked myself if I was not a very patient person, and I would not become a very patient ghost when I died, and I was not very good at coaxing girls when I was alive, but when I died, I broke my heart for a female ghost.
Tang Xiaoyu finally obediently accepted the bronze box.
The freckled woman in Tsing Yi has also taken us through the lively hall to the back hall, where the woman in Tsing Yi took down an antique red gauze lamp from the corner of the back hall down the stairs, and the gauze lamp was painted with an elegant, lifelike beauty.
The woman in Tsing Yi carried a beauty lamp and led the three of us down the stairs, and the wooden stairs kept making 'creaking' and 'creaking' sounds.
The 'creaking' sound echoed in the pitch black, only the faintly lit corridor with the gauze lamp carried by the woman in Tsing Yi in her hand, and I felt very depressed after listening to it for a long time.
But not long after walking in this darkness, I suddenly realized that the situation was a little wrong, not to mention why the earring boy who had always been noisy could go on for so long without saying a word? Just talking about Tang Xiaoyu, she has always been very timid, and she was very close to me when she came down, and at this moment, the two sparse footsteps behind me, but why, it seems to be far away from me?
