Chapter 40: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell (I)
About five or six minutes later, Cao Lei came back with a woman, I was a little surprised, this speed is too fast, right?
But when I looked at it, this woman's appearance was really Sister Zhang.
However, ghosts can be transformed, and a woman who looks like Sister Zhang may not really be Sister Zhang, so I have to be careful to confirm it.
So, I shouted directly: "Sister Zhang..."
The woman had been keeping her head down, and when she heard the words, she raised her head, but her eyes were full of confusion, and she looked at me for a long time before she asked tentatively, "Are you... Mr. Zhou? ”
In the initial period of time when the human soul is separated from the body, the subjective consciousness will have a process of re-self-recognition, so I don't feel surprised by Sister Zhang's performance, but I think this is more normal.
But based on this alone, I still can't conclude that the woman in front of me is Sister Zhang, so I also stared at her eyes carefully, because the eyes are the windows of the soul, whether it is a living person, a human yang god, or even a ghost body, the information transmitted in the eyes of the same person will generally not change much.
Sister Zhang also kept staring at me and Zhao Xiaoyi, and she still seemed to have a lot of doubts and a little surprise: "Mr. Zhou, why are you and your little sister here?" ”
I smiled and said, "The two of us are here to find you, will you come back with us later?" ”
At this time, although Sister Zhang had recognized me and Zhao Xiaoyi, she might not have realized the state she was in at the moment, so I didn't explain so much, so as not to cause any accidents due to her panic.
Sister Zhang showed a grateful smile on her face: "I remember, I seem to have been out for a long time, it's time to go back, Mr. Zhou, little sister, thank you, it's a big night, let you bother." ”
Through careful observation and testing, I have basically been able to determine that the woman in front of me should be Sister Zhang, and the aura emanating from her body obviously has a sense of warmth, which is very different from the coldness of ordinary ghost bodies, which can also prove this.
In this way, I will put my mind at ease, the purpose of our coming tonight is to rescue Sister Zhang, and now that we have seen her, no matter what action we take next, it will be easy to do.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Cao Lei suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou, after all, this is the territory of my family, my sister-in-law is here, I always have to meet people and say hello." ”
This request seems to be very reasonable, I thought to myself, Sister Zhang is different from Zhao Xiaoyi, Yu Yang should not have any needs for her, she will not be in any danger, it seems that it is nothing to say hello, so I nodded and said: "Okay, by the way, tell your family, the sky is almost dawn, I want to visit the church or something, but you have to hurry, and then grind and chirp like this, be careful that the bride is mad." ”
Cao Lei squeezed out a smile on his face: "I must tell you, Mr. Zhou can rest assured." ”
After Cao Lei finished speaking, he took Sister Zhang into the upper house, and then squeaked and closed the door tightly.
Zhao Xiaoyi suddenly pulled my arm and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhou, they won't make any ghosts, right?" For example, using Sister Zhang as a hostage to blackmail us? ”
I smiled and said, "Probably not, because his target is you, if you take Sister Zhang as a hostage, it is nothing more than to exchange you, do you think, I will agree to exchange with them?" ”
Zhao Xiaoyi's beautiful eyes suddenly widened: "Brother Zhou, will you change it?" ”
Actually, I used a rhetorical question, and the answer itself was in it, but this girl still asked again out of some sensitivity, so I nodded: "Of course it won't be changed, so Yu Yang will definitely not do more." ”
Originally, I was just reasoning very objectively, and I didn't have too many emotional colors in other aspects, but Zhao Xiaoyi didn't think so, and immediately asked: "Brother Zhou, why don't you change it?" ”
I was a little helpless, this girl, in this kind of thing, why should there always be an unnecessary kind of heart, so she said very simply: "Because, this is a matter of principle, if on the other hand, someone uses you in exchange for Sister Zhang, I will not agree to it either." ”
Zhao Xiaoyi suddenly became angry, and pouted his little mouth high: "If you don't change me, if she uses Sister Zhang to threaten her, I will take me... No, exchange you for him. ”
I didn't want to entangle with this girl anymore, so I changed the topic and said: "Xiaoyi, although Yu Yang will not take Sister Zhang as a hostage, but I am sure that she will use her to play some conspiracy, from now on, we must be vigilant, including Sister Zhang herself." ”
Zhao Xiaoyi's eyes opened wide again, as if to say, you don't even believe Sister Zhang?
I explained, "Spirits are good at transfiguration, and there are many unthinkable methods, so it's always right to be careful. ”
Zhao Xiaoyi nodded, looking like I understood.
At this time, there was another squeak, and the door of the house suddenly opened a crack, and Cao Lei came out sideways from the inside, like a piece of paper being dragged out, and then Sister Zhang, who used the same movements, and her body was more agile, and there was an elusive smile on her face.
The two walked up to me and Zhao Xiaoyi, Cao Lei lowered his head and said very respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, my family has a small request, I hope you can agree?" ”
I thought to myself, these guys, after discussing for a long time, are they going to use some kind of conspiracy? He said quietly: "Tell me to listen? ”
Cao Lei said: "Actually, there is nothing, I just want to invite my sister to be a bridesmaid, which is also more lively." ”
Sister Zhang also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, you can rest assured, right?" My family, not the kind of person you think, will definitely be fine. ”
I turned my head and stared at Sister Zhang suspiciously: "Your lord?" ”
Sister Zhang's face was scornful, and she pointed in the direction of the house in a little panic: "Oh, it's Yu Yang, it's all Xiao Lei, it's all Xiao Lei, one bite and one adult, let me also scream nonsense, Mr. Zhou, I dare to assure you that Xiaomei is just a bridesmaid, and no one will hurt her." ”
I'm a little strange, what's wrong with this Sister Zhang, could it be that she was bewitched by Yu Yang in such a short time? Or did she and Yu Yang know each other before?
So, I asked, "Sister Zhang, when you went in just now, did you see a bride in the house?" ”
Sister Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "See, when Yu Yang came out of the back room, I caught a glimpse of the bride sitting on the bed, looking very beautiful, so only a big beauty like Xiaomei is suitable for her to be a bridesmaid, and it is difficult for us to find it elsewhere." ”
I turned my head to stare at Zhao Xiaoyi's eyes, wanting to ask for her opinion, but found that her beautiful eyes also had an inquiring look, as if asking me what to do? I thought for a moment, then turned to me and said, "Yes, but only if I have a small request, you must agree." ”
Cao Lei immediately became excited: "What requirements, Mr. Zhou, do you say?" ”
I smiled: "She is the bridesmaid, I am the best man, otherwise, everything is not to be discussed." ”
Cao Lei didn't seem to expect me to make such a request, and seemed a little overwhelmed: "But, Mr. Zhou, we don't need a groomsman." ”
I sneered and asked, "There is no groomsmen, do you want bridesmaids?" If you want to worship the church, hurry up and worship, don't play any more conspiracies and tricks with me, otherwise, the master will not be accompanied. ”
As soon as Cao Lei heard this, he immediately panicked: "No... No... That one... Actually, Mr. Zhou, we have our own best man, I... I'm the best man appointed by the adults themselves..."
Seeing Cao Lei's appearance, I suddenly felt a little funny, so I teased unceremoniously: "Brother Cao, you are an old man who has been married, you have to partner with our little girl as a best man, do you think it is appropriate?" ”
Zhao Xiaoyi also echoed on the side: "That's it, Brother Cao, seeing that you look like a ghost, and you still want to be a best man, you dare to think about it, anyway, Brother Zhou is not a best man, and I will definitely not be a bridesmaid." ”
Cao Lei's expression became very embarrassed, but he still stiffened his neck, a little unconvinced: "Underestimate people, back then..."
Who knows, as soon as he spoke, Sister Zhang suddenly raised her hand and slapped him in the face, making his grimace distort for a while, and his eyes almost fell out, and it took several seconds before he returned to his original state.
Sister Zhang still didn't give up, pointed to his nose and scolded: "You little bastard, you will talk nonsense all day long, and you are designated as the best man, why didn't I listen to the adults just now, besides, I don't pee and look like you, how can I compare with our Mr. Zhou, I think, Mr. Zhou is indeed very suitable as the best man, you better hurry up and ask the adults, right?" ”
What people didn't expect was that Cao Lei was beaten and scolded by Sister Zhang, and he didn't dare to resist in the slightest, but obediently turned his head and entered the upper house again, he should have asked Yu Yang to go.
This time the time was very short, and Cao Lei ran out of the house again, still looking excited: "Mr. Zhou, my family has agreed, you can be the best man." ”
Sister Zhang suddenly smiled: "That's great, little sister, then without further ado, let's hurry up and change clothes, right?" ”
Sister Zhang said, and was about to go over and pull Zhao Xiaoyi's arm, but I blocked her hand and said, "Her red dress is quite beautiful, what kind of clothes is there?" ”
The moment my hand touched Sister Zhang's arm, she avoided it like an electric shock, but her expression still looked very happy, even a little elated: "Mr. Zhou, no, we have local customs, and the best man and bridesmaid must also wear special wedding clothes, if you don't change it, it will be unlucky." ”
I suddenly wanted to laugh in my heart, you ghosts, really think the master is a three-year-old child? But on the surface, he was silent, and said helplessly: "Okay, since the best man and bridesmaid have to change their clothes, Xiao Yi, then the two of us can change together, and we can also help each other." ”
Zhao Xiaoyi's mouth suddenly opened wide, and Sister Zhang also said in surprise: "Mr. Zhou, little sister changes clothes, you also want to watch from the side?" ”
I nodded approvingly: "What's wrong?" ”
