Chapter Forty-Seven: Strange Things
Yang Qianqian looked at the beads on Xiao Lili's wrist and said with emotion: "What a group of unfortunate people!" “
Xiao asked the way: "There are thousands of new ghosts on the Yin and Yang Road, how many of them have to enjoy their lives and die peacefully?" In this world, every second someone has an accident and is killed, and for various reasons, they die unwillingly, which is also a helpless thing. The five of them www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, which is lucky in comparison, at least they met Xiao Grain, and Xiao Grain has exactly five Nai He Stones, which can bring them back to the yang world and fulfill their unfulfilled wishes. “
Yang Qianqian asked, "Do we want to help them?" “
Xiao Wenlu nodded: "Of course." Not to mention that the five of them are my benefactors and those of the grains, who once saved us in the underworld. Even out of moral considerations, we should also help them fulfill their wishes, enter reincarnation without worries, and start their lives in the next life. “
"And what about you?" Yang Qianqian asked.
Xiao Wenlu knew that what she said was the purpose of returning to her hometown on this trip, that is, to find out the enemy who framed the master.
He shook his head and said, "I don't have any ideas right now. Master only mentioned it a few times before his death, and he had several great enemies in his life, but most of them did not pose a threat to him, and should have nothing to do with what happened last time. As for who his greatest enemy was, we never heard him say. ”
Yang Qianqian frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Then should we go out and ask the villagers to see if there are any clues?" ”
Xiao Wenlu shook his head: "I heard Master say that he was not originally from this village, but only moved here when I was about a year old. The villagers may not know what happened before that, so it may not make much sense to ask them. And ......"
Although Xiao Wenlu stopped talking, Yang Qianqian already knew what he didn't say: he was reluctant to contact the villagers, fearing that it would bring disaster to them. Especially when he met Chen Dayou's mother as soon as he entered the village, her tragic appearance stung him even more and made him even more worried about his identity.
Thinking of the self-isolation life he has lived for so many years, Yang Qianqian's heart hurts. She said softly, "Otherwise, you can take me around the village at night to see if I can find any clues, and by the way, let me see what the place where you used to live is really like." ”
Xiao Wenlu nodded and agreed.
By about ten o'clock in the evening, most of the villagers had fallen asleep. Xiao Wenlu took Yang Qianqian out of the door, and the two of them walked slowly in the quiet village, Yang Qianqian listened to Xiao Wenlu and introduced her to the residents of the village, which turned out to be his friends, which ones had fought with him when he was a child, and which ones had been smashed by him, imagining his naughty and cute appearance when he was a child, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
Walking and walking, the two of them walked to the small river that Xiao Wenlu used to go to. The two men sat down by the river, shoulder to shoulder, looking up at the stars in the sky. Xiao asked Lu Mo to be silent, Yang Qianqian thought about it, and still asked, "Are you thinking about Chen Dayou?" ”
Xiao asked for directions and said "um".
Yang Qianqian gently grabbed Xiao Wenlu's arm and said softly: "You can't live in self-blame and self-isolation like this all the time. You know, you are not wrong, it is that person who is wrong. Besides, who says fate can't be changed? Believe that things are man-made, and we can always find a solution to the problem. ”
Xiao Wenlu was so moved that his eyes were wet, and he hugged Yang Qianqian. Under the starlight, the two hugged each other tightly.
I don't know when the sky began to drizzle, and the two of them didn't bring umbrellas, so they ran home together in the light rain.
That night, probably because of the rain, Xiao asked Lu to start a fever. In a daze, Xiao Wenlu felt a pair of cold but gentle hands on his forehead, helping him lower the temperature of his body. Another glass of warm water was handed to his lips, and after drinking it, his whole body was comfortable. That person took care of Xiao Wenzhi in every way, making him feel much more comfortable, and finally fell asleep deeply.
The next morning, as soon as Xiao Wenlu opened his eyes, Yang Qianqian's flower-like smile came into view. Yang Qianqian smiled brightly at him and said, "Lazy pig, are you finally awake?" Hurry up and have breakfast! ”
Xiao Wenlu held Yang Qianqian's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you." ”
Yang Qianqian's mouth flattened, and she pretended to be unhappy and said: "I make breakfast for you every day, and you only remember to thank me!" ”
Xiao asked for directions: "Not only thank you for breakfast, but also thank you for taking care of me last night." ”
This sentence stunned Yang Qianqian: "Last night? Take care of you? ”
Xiao Wenlu furrowed his brows suspiciously: "Didn't you take care of me last night?" ”
Because on the first night she came back, Yang Qianqian was scared enough by the female ghost in white and the ghost baby, and moved directly to Xiao Wenlu's room to live, and since then she has been squeezing a bed with the Xiao family's father and son, the two adults sleep on both sides, and Xiao grains are in the middle. So Xiao Wenlu naturally thought that it was Yang Qianqian who took care of him last night.
Looking at the question mark on Yang Qianqian's face, Xiao Wenlu thought she was embarrassed to admit it, so she joked narrowly: "Take care of me, take care of me, what's so embarrassing?" “
Yang Qianqian rolled her eyes: "Big brother, are you what I said to sleepwalk in the middle of the night to take care of you?" The problem is that you are fine and not sick, what should I take care of you? “
Now Xiao asked for directions and knew that she was indeed not lying. But if it's not her, who else can it be? Could it be Xiao Lili? Xiao asked for directions and looked at Xiao Lili inquiringly, and sure enough, Xiao Lili said expressionlessly: "I slept well last night and didn't know anything." ”
A bad feeling rose in Xiao Wenlu's heart. Yang Qianqian also saw some clues from his expression, and asked worriedly: "Could it be that the enemy has come to the door again?" ”
Xiao Wenlu shook his head and said, "Unlikely." I had a fever last night, and that person took very good care of me, so he was obviously not an enemy. ”
Yang Qianqian nodded and said, "Yes." Who could that be? I didn't feel anyone enter our bedroom last night! ”
Xiao Wenlu touched his chin and groaned: "Although I was in a daze last night, I felt that person's hand was very soft, like a woman's hand, so I thought it was you." ”
When it came to women, Yang Qianqian's heart suddenly "chuckled". She was not a person who was very deep in the city, and at this time, she said whatever she thought of: "No...... It's your senior sister, right? ”
Xiao asked Lu Zhengse and said, "I understand my senior sister's personality. Since she knows that I'm with you now, she will never do anything sneaky to ruin our relationship. ”
Xiao's words of asking for directions were like a reassuring pill, calming Yang Qianqian's mood. However, for the uninvited guest last night, the two of them still couldn't let go of their hearts.
Yang Qianqian said: "Let's not forget the purpose of coming back, let's hurry up and find clues." I'm afraid that the longer I stay here, the more I will sleep at night. ”
Xiao Wenlu nodded in agreement. On that day, Xiao Wenlu, Yang Qianqian and Xiao Lili took action, searching up and down, inside and out, in the huge old house, hoping to find some clues. It's a pity that after a busy day, all the pieces of paper and photos at home have been carefully studied, and nothing worth noting has been found. In the end, the three of them collapsed on the bed and gasped, so tired that they couldn't even speak.
That night, it was business as usual. The tense nerves of the three of them relaxed slightly, and after a tiring day, they all fell asleep with their heads on the pillow. However, Yang Qianqian was more unlucky, and when the moon reached mid-heaven, she was suddenly awakened by a burst of urine.
She lay on the bed, endured the torment of repeated tug-of-war between urine and sleepiness, and finally the urge to urine got the upper hand. Yang Qianqian had no choice but to sigh, hold on to her hazy sleepy eyes, and get out of bed lightly, so as not to wake up Xiao Wenlu father and son.
After the bathroom was convenient, Yang Qianqian walked to the bedroom. She had just turned off the bathroom light when she suddenly saw a shadow flash in the living room, which seemed to be a woman.
Yang Qianqian was startled and almost screamed. She patted her chest, calmed down, and stood still without daring to move. After a while, nothing out of the ordinary, she walked lightly to the bedroom again. Maybe it's the suicidal woman, looking at the back, it's a bit like. She comforted herself.
When she was about to walk to the door of the bedroom, Yang Qianqian suddenly heard a sigh behind her, which frightened her scalp for a while. She turned slowly and found a woman in a blue coat standing motionless in the living room with her back to her.
Yang Qianqian covered her mouth and walked towards the woman step by step. She wasn't sure if the woman was the suicidal woman, and if it was, it wouldn't be anything to be afraid of; If not, then this woman may be the one who took care of Xiao Wenzhi last night, and now is a good opportunity to figure out who she is.
Yang Qianqian mustered up her courage and approached the woman step by step. The woman didn't seem to be aware of the approaching person at all, and still stood still.
"Alas......" the woman let out another long sigh.
Yang Qianqian walked behind the woman, gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand, touched the woman's back, and stammered, "You...... Who are you? ”
The woman turned her head suddenly, and a face with no facial features and like a blank sheet of paper appeared in front of Yang Qianqian!
Yang Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then let out an earth-shattering scream, and then sat up from the bed suddenly, sweating profusely, it turned out to be a nightmare.
Xiao Wenlu and Xiao Lili were all awakened by her scream, and hurriedly asked her what was wrong. Yang Qianqian cried with a sad face and said, "I'...... I just had a terrible nightmare that scared me to death......"
Xiao asked Lu asked, "What nightmare?" ”
Yang Qianqian was stunned: "Uh...... Can't remember. As soon as she woke up, she had forgotten all about the dream she had just had.
Xiao Wenlu was comforting her, Xiao Lili suddenly frowned, then jumped out of bed and ran outside without saying a word.
Xiao Wenlu and Yang Qianqian didn't know why, so they had to follow. I saw Xiao Lili running into the yard, staring straight at a cherry tree in the corner of the yard.
Xiao Wenlu and Yang Qianqian looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see anything there, so they asked Xiao Lili: "Lili, what's wrong?" ”
Xiao Lili said: "Just now I suddenly felt a yin qi in the living room, and when I chased it out, that yin qi ran into the yard, and finally disappeared from the cherry tree." ”
In the moonlight, the cherry tree's pink flowers shone brightly. A gust of wind blows, flower petals fly all over the sky, it is very beautiful, this scene is not only terrifying, but a bit poignant.
Hearing this, Xiao asked for directions and walked towards the cherry tree, with Yang Qianqian and Xiao Lili following behind.
Xiao Wenlu put his hand on the trunk of the tree and rubbed it carefully, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Yang Qianqian asked, "What did you find?" ”
"There is no yin qi. Maybe 'it' ran away. Xiao asked for directions and said.
"Could the nightmare I just had have something to do with this?" Yang Qianqian asked.
"Possibly." Xiao replied. "Actually, this cherry tree is also strange. It was planted by the master's father, who is usually a big man and doesn't care much about anything, but he attaches great importance to this tree, and has been carefully cultivated and cared for, and has never even given birth to a single insect. I remember one time, when my sister and I were young, the two of us were playing under a tree, and we broke a few branches, and he taught us a good lesson! I've rarely seen him so angry. Since then, none of us have dared to destroy the tree again. ”
Yang Qianqian's heart moved: "We have been back for so many days, and we have searched all over the house, and we have not found any abnormal situations." But now that you say that, this tree is very abnormal! The nightmare I had just now, and the ghost I felt, could be associated with this tree. I don't think we can let go of this clue! ”
Xiao Wenlu touched her head and said with a smile: "You're right, you can't let go of anything strange." But it's too late today, let's study the tree tomorrow. Let's go back and rest first! ”
The three of them went back to the bedroom and lay down. After some tossing just now, the three of them didn't feel sleepy, especially Yang Qianqian, desperately recalling the content of the nightmare just now, trying to find some clues, but in vain and couldn't think of anything. If it weren't for the lingering feeling now, she would have wondered if she had a nightmare just now.
As the minutes passed, the three of them slowly fell asleep. Suddenly, Yang Qianqian and Xiao Lili were awakened by a burst of sobbing at the same time. The two of them opened their eyes together and found that it was none other than Xiao Wenwen, who was sobbing!
I saw Xiao Wenlu lying on his side, curled up, frowning, his eyes closed, tears kept sliding from the corners of his eyes, and his mouth was still crying.
The two of them quickly shook him awake and nervously asked him what was wrong. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wenlu opened his hazy eyes, with a completely blank expression, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yang Qianqian said anxiously: "You cried a lot just now!" What's wrong, is it a nightmare? ”
Xiao Wenlu showed an incredulous expression and said, "What? I'm crying? How did I not know? ”
Yang Qianqian wiped a handful on Xiao Wenlu's face, and showed him her palm: "Look at you, there are tears on your face, you cried just now!" ”
Xiao Wenlu touched his face, and sure enough, it was full of tears. Now he himself was blinded: "I didn't dream! ”
Xiao Lili added on the side: "We people who practice magic never dream. ”
Xiao asked for directions and nodded.
Yang Qianqian didn't believe it: "Could it be that you forgot?" I couldn't remember any dreams I had since I woken up from nightmares. ”
Xiao Wenlu didn't speak, obviously he couldn't deny Yang Qianqian's statement.
The atmosphere was so eerie on this night. Yang Qianqian and Xiao Wenlu were both in trouble while sleeping, and a stranger of unknown origin secretly took care of Xiao Wenlu the night before, and the hearts of the three of them were like mirrors: this time when they return to their hometown, it will definitely not be peaceful!
