Xue Qian slept soundly, and I finally knocked on the door after a lot of effort. Then he took the knife and the tooth and helped him close the door.

I went back to the grocery store to get some sleep, but I couldn't get any sleep. I couldn't help but think about Xiao Liu.

I stayed up all morning half-asleep, and in the afternoon, Xiao Liu came to me.

I carried a big knife, yawned, and followed him outside.

Xiao Liu asked with some concern: "Master Zhao, are you okay?" What do I think you're not in good spirits? ”

I waved my hand, "It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night." ”

Xiao Liu agreed, and then said no more. I walked with him all the way, and I could see that he was a very silent person, but he kept fiddling with his phone and didn't know what he was playing.

I feel a little dissatisfied: Your sister-in-law has an accident, are you still in the mood to play with your mobile phone?

Xiao Liu played for a while, and suddenly answered a call. He looked at me apologetically, then stepped aside. Although he deliberately distanced himself from me, the distance was polite after all, and I could still hear him speak clearly.

He seemed to be coaxing someone, and his tone was very affectionate. Presumably a girlfriend. Although I can't hear the other party's voice, I can guess seven or eight points through Guò Xiao Liu's words.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, your kid is simply marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother." ”

The person on the other end of the line seemed to be looking for him, and he was in a hurry. However, Xiao Liu was unmoved, and persuaded him vigorously, saying that he wanted to see his sister-in-law, and now he has no time to accompany her.

The more these two people talked, the more anxious they became, and finally Xiao Liu pressed the phone angrily.

I pretended not to know, and looked at the road ahead. Step by step. Xiao Liu smiled beside me, and said with some embarrassment: "See me." ”

I smiled at him: "You offended your girlfriend for your sister-in-law, and you will inevitably be cleaned up when you turn around." ”

Xiao Liu laughed twice, and put the phone in his trouser pocket. I saw that he looked preoccupied and seemed to be really worried about arguing with his girlfriend.

The two of us walked for more than ten minutes, and Xiao Liu pointed to a courtyard and said, "This is it." ”

The gate of the courtyard was closed, but the wall was very low, I stepped on the broken bricks and looked inside, although the courtyard was very tidy, but after all, the years were not short. It can be seen that his sister-in-law's life is not very good.

Xiao Liu said to me: "Master Zhao, my sister-in-law has a shy personality and has never liked to meet outsiders. I'm afraid even if she is willing to see you, you won't be able to ask anything. ”

I smiled and said, "I don't have to speak." Just give me a second look, and I'll probably know what's going on. ”

When Xiaozhou heard me say this, he was immediately overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

Then, he knocked on the door. Someone in the courtyard answered, and then a crack opened in the gate, revealing the face of a woman.

This woman is about forty years old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and she looks very haggard. She looked at Xiao Liu, looking a little dazed.

I thought to myself: there is something wrong with it. Although I don't know Taoism, after all, I've been immersed in this industry for a few days, and I've seen a lot of people entangled with ghosts. Now just by looking at it, I vaguely feel that this woman is not yang, and I am afraid that she is really fascinated by ghosts.

I heard her ask, "Why are you here again?" That tone seemed to not want Xiao Liu to come over.

Xiao Liu smiled all over his face: "Didn't I see that you are not in good spirits?" So I found a friend who understands medical skills to help you take a look. Then, Xiao Liu pointed at me.

It wasn't until this time that Xiao Liu's sister-in-law found out about me. I was about the same age as Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu said that I was his friend, so I nodded at her and called, "Sister-in-law." ”

She smiled at me and said a little tiredly, "It's good if you call me Sister Wang." Hey, I'm not sick, I just haven't slept well, I'm a little sleepy, I'll be fine when I sleep. ”

Then, she looked at Xiao Liu, sighed and said, "Your brother died early, and he didn't leave a son and a half daughter, so our family's incense is all counting on you." You see, you're almost thirty years old now, why aren't you in a hurry? When I bring back a girl to show me, I will be relieved. ”

Xiao Liu looked embarrassed and said, "Wait, wait and see." ”

I stood next to me and felt a little strange: Xiao Liu obviously has a girlfriend, why didn't he refuse to sue his sister-in-law?

Sister Wang stood at the door and said a lot, but she was just urging Xiao Liu to get married. From start to finish, she didn't mean to let us in.

I stood next to me, looking left and right, and suddenly I noticed that there was something wrong with Sister Wang's shadow. I looked up at the sky, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun in the sky was very good. But Sister Wang's shadow dragged faintly behind her, swaying with her body, like a fire in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any time.

Ten minutes later, Sister Wang instructed Xiao Liu again, and stretched out her hand to close the door.

Xiao Liu hurriedly said: "Hey, sister-in-law, you let us in......"

I waved my hand: "Forget it, let her have a good rest." ”

Sister Wang closed the door, and there was no movement in the courtyard.

Xiao Liu looked at me with some uneasiness: "How is it?" Do you see it? ”

I nodded: "It's a bit of a problem. ”

Xiao Liu had already guessed this result. He sighed and asked, "What are we going to do now?" ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember the alley you saw in your dream?" You take me to see it. ”

Xiao Liu shook his head: "When I dream, I can see it every time." After I woke up, I went to look for it. But I couldn't find it. I guess there's no such thing as an alley in this world. ”

As he spoke, the phone in his pocket rang. Xiao Liu took out the phone, glanced at it impatiently, and then hung up. However, the call came persistently, and Xiao Liu had no choice but to answer it.

He turned away and whispered for a moment. Then he said apologetically: "Master Zhao, I have to do something." ”

I nodded: "Go ahead, it doesn't matter during the day, I'm going to wait until the night to do it." ”

Xiao Liu nodded: "I will definitely arrive in the evening." ”

Then, he hurried away.

I walked around Sister Wang's house, and I didn't see any clues. After a few minutes, sleepiness set in, and I found a sunny spot and sat down on the ground against the wall.

The warmth on my body made me even more sleepy. I closed my eyes, the big knife in my arms, ready to sleep.

Just when I was in a daze and about to fall asleep, I was woken up by the sudden ringing of a bell.

I took out my phone and asked angrily, "Who is it?" ”

Xue Qian's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lao Zhao, where have you been?" I'm going to invite you for a drink, why did I look for you around, but there's no place for me? ”

I closed my eyes and sighed and said, "You are asleep, Lao Tzu is about to die." I'm out there catching ghosts. ”

Subsequently, I briefly told Xiao Liu about it.

When Xue Qian heard this, she was actually interested. He asked me repeatedly, "Where are you?" I'm going to you now. ”

I yawned and said, "Who knows where this is?" Let me see, there's a brick tower around here, it's not too high, it's quite low......"

Unexpectedly, I just described these two sentences, and Xue Qian said: "Okay, I know, you wait for me." ”

I hung up the phone and thought to myself: I deserve to have lived here since I was a child. It's really familiar.

Half an hour later, Xue Qian really came. He was very excited and said, "Is this so? Did the ghost show up? ”

I waved my hand: "What are you kidding?" How can a ghost come out in broad daylight? Just wait, and we'll see again in the evening. ”

Xue Qian sat next to me and said with a smile: "It's quite interesting to watch others being haunted by ghosts." ”

I closed my eyes, and I was already about to fall asleep: "You play with fire carefully**, let the ghost entangle you one day." And when I had said this, I fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but gradually I felt the cold around me until the cold wind woke me up.

I opened my eyes and saw that the sun had set. And the sky is getting dark.

I sat up and saw Xue Qian squatting beside me, staring intently ahead.

I patted him on the shoulder a little strangely: "Old Xue, what's wrong?" ”

Xue Qian turned her head and looked nervous: "Old Zhao." I don't think we'd better leave this alone. ”
