1. Haunted by ghosts
Many of my friends have been looking forward to May Day since April, and have prepared a series of relaxation and play procedures for this purpose. But I hate May Day, not just May Day, but all the holidays and weekends, because my sense of superiority as a freelancer is lost on these days.
There is another reason why I don't like May Day, that is, I have to take Shu Xin out to play every May Day. It's not that I don't like to be with Shu Xin, it's just that it's not a wise move to go out this season. But there is no way, because after the college entrance examination in June, it will be time for the enrollment war, and for Shu Xin, the May Day holiday is her opportunity to relax before the big war.
Shu Xin will take her annual leave in one go on May Day according to the convention, so she will have nine days of vacation next. My original plan was to rush out three days of manuscripts on the first day, and then play with Shu Xin for a week from the second day, and when she went shopping with her girlfriend in the remaining days, I will make up the manuscript I owed before.
Tang Hui's sudden visit disrupted my Jihua at once, but I couldn't raise any grievances, because Tang Hui's coming to my house was entirely Qiao Wei's intention. To be precise, it was Qiao Wei who decided to use my house as the meeting point.
After entering the door, Tang Hui immediately introduced me to the young man who came with him. He was the one who was in trouble this time.
The guy's name is An Junliang, and he is a distant relative of Tang Hui. Three years ago, he opened a clothing and gift shop in the commercial area of the West Development Zone, and the business has been very good. But after the Chinese New Year this year, something strange suddenly happened, and since this strange thing happened, not only the business of his store has taken a sharp turn, but even his body has all kinds of problems.
The strange thing is that almost every night An Junliang will have a dream, in which there will be a naked ** long-haired woman who will press on him and whisper to him, and then the woman will grab An Junliang's ankle and drag him to the ground. Every time he dreamed of this, An Junliang would wake up, and at the same time, a purple handprint would be left on his ankle.
This happened strangely, but An Junliang didn't tell anyone about this dream, because he thought it would pass soon. But this dream has no intention of stopping, and it is becoming more and more vivid, and there are a few times An Junliang seems to feel that he is not dreaming, and everything is real.
Gradually, An Junliang, who was entangled by strange dreams, began to experience symptoms such as dizziness, physical weakness, and loss of appetite, and even when he was talking to his girlfriend, he repeatedly had a lack of energy.
Parallel to his physical abnormalities was a noticeable decrease in customer traffic in the store, something that had never happened in the past few years. In the past April, An Junliang's sales money for the whole month was only a pitiful 700 yuan, and he couldn't even pay the rent, water and electricity.
An Junliang felt that the matter was too evil, so he wanted to discuss it with someone. Although Tang Hui is a distant relative, because the two of them also work in the same city, An Junliang told Tang Hui about his strange experiences in recent months. So Tang Hui immediately found Qiao Wei, and Qiao Wei arranged this meeting at my house today.
After talking about the strange things he encountered, An Junliang also deliberately rolled up his pants and let me look at his ankles.
There were really two very clear handprints on the ankles of his two feet, as if they had been slapped by iron sand palms! I took a closer look, and the color of the marks looked like a bruised blue-purple, but there was no swelling on An Junliang's ankle.
I asked An Junliang if he could touch it.
He nodded and said it was okay.
With permission, I gently touched the handprint on his ankle. I didn't feel any unusual swelling on my hands, and if he hadn't told me about the strange dream, I would have even thought that the handprint was painted or a tattoo. Then I squeezed it a little harder, and then asked An Junliang if it would hurt.
An Junliang shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, I don't feel anything special." ”
I shook my head and sat back on the couch.
I don't know how this handprint was formed, but I can basically diagnose An Junliang's strange thing, he was taken by a ghost! But where did this ghost come from, I have no way of knowing that Weishenme suddenly became entangled with An Junliang inexplicably, and it is not clear that the Weishenme ghost will affect the business of An Junliang's store.
So I asked An Junliang if there were any strange places he had been to during the Chinese New Year, especially if anything had happened in the days when he had that strange dream for the first time - I hoped to find some valuable clues from his answers.
An Junliang recalled it very seriously, but nothing special happened in his memory, and he had not been to any strange places. Because he didn't want to let go of his business, he didn't even go home during the Chinese New Year, and his daily life was basically two points and one line in the store and at home.
Obviously, there are no valuable clues from An Junliang, and the next thing to do is to wait for Qiao Wei to come over, and then listen to his professional opinion.
Qiao Wei finally arrived at my house at almost noon, and he came with Li Mengjia. Only then did I understand that Qiao Wei was going to choose my house as the meeting place - this kid was obviously going on a date with Li Mengjia, and he came directly to my house when he sent her home.
Shu Xin was originally very repulsive to Li Mengjia, but seeing her and Qiao Wei appear at my door together, Shu Xin was uncharacteristically very enthusiastic, and invited the two of them into the house to sit with a smile.
Qiao Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, sister-in-law." In fact, Brother Lei told me before that if he had an obligation to dedicate work, he would call him, and it happened that An Junliang's home was not far from here, so I directly asked him to come over and tell Brother Lei about what he had encountered, to see if Brother Lei was interested in going with him. I'm ready to go. ”
"Oh." Shu Xin turned his head to look at me while responding, "Qiao Wei asked you, are you going or not?" ”
Shu Xin's words did give me two options, but her tight nose and glaring expression obviously reminded me that if I dared to go, I would die if I came home again!
The ghost handprint on An Junliang's ankle did make me very, very curious, but considering that this was Shu Xin's only long vacation a year, I had to endure the pain and said to Qiao Wei: "It should be an ordinary ghost building beam, right?" I still have a manuscript to catch up here, so I won't go over and make a mess for you. ”
Qiao Wei smiled: "Okay, it's only been a few months to break the ghost class!" It is indeed a beam, which should be solved in a day or two. Then we'll go first, so we won't disturb your vacation. Sister-in-law, we're gone. ”
"Hmm. I often come here when I have nothing to do in the future. Shu Xinchao responded realistically, not showing any intention of keeping people.
After sending Tang Hui and Qiao Wei away, Shu Xin praised me with satisfaction, obviously her interest in the holiday far outweighed her curiosity about the mystery behind the strange things. The result was that Shu Xin was satisfied, but I was tormented by curiosity repeatedly. All afternoon, I had been thinking about the strange dream An Junliang told me, and the ghost handprint on his ankle, and I was still thinking about it even when I was lying in bed at night.
I don't know if I was thinking too much and went crazy, but I was lying in bed when I saw a woman's face peeking out of the ceiling of the roof. Then, a naked woman slowly floated down from the roof and lay on top of me!
I was about to reach out and pinch the woman's buttocks, when it suddenly occurred to me that Shu Xin should be next to me. So I turned my head and looked around, Shu Xin was beside me, but she was already asleep.
I thought it was probably a dream, and touching the woman's ass in the dream shouldn't be considered cheating. But I felt that everything in front of me seemed a little too real, so I reached out and pinched my arm hard, because I had heard that it didn't hurt in dreams.
As a result, this pinch, I actually hurt!
It's not a dream!
So who is this woman...... Ghost?!
Thinking about it, I immediately touched a bronze knife on the bedside. And just as I did this, the naked woman suddenly burst into tears of pain at me, and at the same time her body pierced me and began to fall under the bed, as if something was going to drag her into hell.
I was completely stunned, not knowing whether to use the knife to hit her.
Zuihou's woman's body was almost completely submerged under the bed, only one of her arms was still exposed and grabbed my ankle!
