Chapter 9: Grievances are hard to reconcile

This gust of wind came very suddenly, without warning, and Master and I were both stunned, and I obviously saw that Master's face turned pale in an instant. Before I could ask Master what was going on, I saw that Master suddenly seemed to see something terrible, and as soon as the sword in his hand was thrown to the ground and I was pulled up, I ran out with my life.

After running a certain distance, Master and I were both very tired, and Master gasped and looked back, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he breathed a sigh of relief. I asked Master, "What happened just now?"

The master probably noticed that he was a little out of shape at the moment, he coughed dryly, straightened up and said to me, "It's okay, I just want to test your adaptability, and you are doing well!" As he spoke, he bowed his head in a decent manner. But I knew that things would not be as simple as Master said, so I tentatively asked, "Is there something wrong?" Why don't we go back and think about what to do? ”

As soon as I finished speaking, before Master could answer me, the gust of wind blew again, this time even stronger, and the dirt and gravel on the ground were swept up. The master put his arm in front of his face and said to me loudly, "I'm afraid it's too late to leave now, you hurry up and bring my peachwood sword!"

I immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and Master would never have been so panicked under normal circumstances. So I didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly braved the wind to get the peachwood sword stuck in the ground. Because the wind was so strong, I couldn't straighten up at all, and it was even difficult to move my feet, I heard Master calling me behind me, so I looked back, but I didn't see Master, I don't know when it started, it suddenly got dark, and there was no sound around me except the sound of the wind crying like a ghost crying wolf.

I started to get a little scared, I was in a state of confusion, and I always felt that it shouldn't have been so dark, and Master shouldn't have left me behind. It wasn't until today, many years later, that I realized that many things were just what I thought they were, and that the truth was not what I thought they were!

As I was desperately stumbling like a frightened fawn in the wind, suddenly I saw what seemed to be a figure in the flying sand. So I stopped jumping meaninglessly, crouched down, and slowly approached the figure. To this day, when I think back to that time, I still feel incredible, there are things that really can't be explained by scientific concepts, like the figure I saw.

When I got closer, I could barely see the silhouette of the man, standing motionless in the wind, like a sculpture. At first I thought it was my master, but when I came to me completely, I saw that it was not my master, but a man with long hair, about twenty-seven or eight years old, handsome in appearance, with a pair of piercing eyes staring at me. I looked at him for two seconds, and I couldn't stand the look at him, so I took my eyes off his face and began to look at his body. He was dressed in gray clothes, from top to bottom, it looked like a costume, I was really confused at the time, I didn't expect that it was Xiucai's ghost standing in front of me, until I saw that the place under his robe that should have been his feet was empty, I reacted, so I sat down.

Although I have hunted ghosts with Master, I also know that ghosts are good and bad, and Xiucai's ghosts may not harm me. But the fear that was suppressed in my heart could not be suppressed, and I did not dare to look at him, so I could only twist my head to the side and call out to Master in despair. At this time, I wished that Master and his old man would reach out and pull me away from fear, but no, Master seemed to have evaporated from the world.

I felt lonely, hopeless, and afraid, I was still young, I hadn't lived enough, and the thought of me not having a daughter-in-law made me want to die even more. I decided to rely on myself, and Master's peachwood sword was right next to Xiucai's body, which was where the ghost appeared. As long as I get the peachwood sword, I'm sure that even my half-bucket of water can scare that ghost.

Finally, against the strong wind, I bypassed Xiucai's corpse and walked to Xiucai's feet, and was about to pull out the peachwood sword stuck in the dirt, but the ghost of Xiucai floating in the air suddenly turned to look at me. When I was looked at by him like this, I suddenly got goosebumps on my body, and my hairs stood up in an instant. I didn't dare to make any movements, so I looked at him like this, and after a few seconds of stalemate, he suddenly moved, and I thought he was going to turn against me, and I was about to run away, but I didn't expect him to just shake his body and disappear in place.

Then the wind stopped, and the boundless darkness gradually dissipated, revealing a touch of sunset in the west. I wiped the sweat from my forehead, and soon I saw Master, who was hurrying here.

"Let's go!" Before Master came to me, he yelled at me urgently. So I hurriedly picked up Master's peachwood sword, and before I even had time to clean up the guy who was eating, I hurriedly withdrew with Master. By the time we arrived at Chen Er's house, it was already completely dark, and Chen Er and his wife had already prepared their meals.

After the four of us sat down around the table, Master asked Chen Er to find a piece of paper casually, then bit his ring finger, drew a talisman on the paper, handed it to me, and said to me, "Stick this talisman behind the door."

After attaching the talisman, I sat down and asked Master, "Master, what happened this afternoon, why can't I see you or hear you after that gust of wind?"

"What? No wonder you didn't react when I called you, it seems that this person who casts forbidden spells is not simple! Xiucai is too resentful, I'm afraid that he can't go beyond it at all. Master lit a cigarette with a kerosene lamp, leaned back in his chair and said to me.

"The two of you are eating, come, talk while eating, and it will be cold in a while." Sister-in-law Chen warmly sandwiched the food for me. I wasn't polite, grabbed a hot steamed bun and ate it.

Soon the master finished smoking a cigarette, and he did not give me an explanation right away, but ate it in a hurry. Probably both of us were a little hungry, and the food on the table was quickly eaten by us. Sister-in-law Chen had to go to the kitchen to cook two more dishes, Chen Er opened a bottle of soju, and touched the cup with the master, I don't know how to drink, I can only sit on the side and accompany me. Time passed quickly, seeing that it was not too early, the dishes on the table were finished, and Master and Chen Er also lay down, so I had to smile bitterly and help Sister-in-law Chen clean up the tableware together, it seems that I can only wait for Master to wake up and ask him!
