Chapter 028: Su Xi
Together, we walked towards the place where I had seen the light of the fire in my dream, but it was dark in front of us, and there was a shadow of the light of the fire. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to ()] I couldn't help but wonder again, wondering if Cai Han was mistaken.
I woke up in my dream before I got to the location of the fire, so I didn't really know the exact location of the fire, so I could only recall an approximation. But even that was enough, because I had recognized the place, and we were standing next to the pit that Rayong had dug.
To my surprise, He Zhiyuan almost planted himself in it last night, proving that the pit was deeper than what Rayong had dug at the time, but now it has been filled in again, and the surface is a layer of new soil.
Cai Han squatted down and turned on the flash on his phone to shine on the ground. I looked along and saw three bamboo stick-shaped things on the ground, and Cai Han had already picked them up.
"This is incense that has not been burned."
Cai Han's words shocked me, and I squatted down busily, looking carefully at the bamboo stick in his hand. It was really three sticks of incense, but none of them burned out, and they all burned two-thirds of the way and then went out.
After that, we found a piece of paper ash nearby, Cai Han picked it with a branch, and there were some sparks in it. Other than that, nothing else has been discovered.
"Alas, it's a step too late!" Cai Han said with some frustration.
Seeing these things, I have completely believed what Cai Han said, and my attitude towards Su Po has become complicated, she gave me a talisman sachet, and hinted at me something with a note twice, and helped save He Zhiyuan last night, but what did she do to summon my soul for no reason. Although I don't know much about these things, how can a person live without a soul?
"Am I going to die?" Thinking about it, I asked Cai Han with some concern.
"Fortunately, we woke you up in time, and your soul is back, so it's no big deal. Also, the incense was extinguished before it was burned, which also means that the conjuring was not successful. He comforted me.
"How do you know this?" I've never heard Cai Han mention this kind of thing before, but tonight, his watch seems to be in contact with this kind of thing often.
"I've also heard that my grandfather taught me since I was a child that if I dream and hear someone call me by my name, don't respond, and don't follow, it's a wild ghost hooking the soul, or a Taoist with a bad heart is taking away the soul. That's why I heard you say that someone called you in your dream, and I thought about it. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to ()]"
"What do you mean by clothes?" I then asked.
"Spiritualism requires the use of some items with the breath of the person being recruited, among which clothes are the most suitable, and I heard that the process you just said did not look like a wild ghost hooking you, so I guessed that someone was doing something wrong, so I asked you if you had lost your clothes or handed them over to others."
"It's dangerous!" After listening to Cai Han's explanation, I said in shock.
"I was in a hurry just now, now you can tell me what the origin of that Su Po is."
On the way back, I didn't hide it anymore and told everything related to Su Po. After speaking, I asked Cai Han what he thought, and he also said that he really didn't judge whether this Su Po was good or bad for a while, and he mentioned that we would inquire tomorrow, since she worked as a cleaner at school, it was not difficult to find her.
When I walked outside the dormitory, I wondered if Su Po would have started to sweep the road at this time, so I circled around the dormitory, but I didn't see her.
Back in the bedroom, the light was on in the room, and He Zhiyuan had already cleaned the floor. Originally, he wanted to go out with us just now, but I asked him not to go, and I was worried that something would happen to him if he went.
I don't know if it's because of the bleeding or being conjured, I feel a little groggy, Cai Han also said that my face is a little pale, so I changed my wet clothes and slept for a while.
How could I sleep when this happened, so I wanted to wait for dawn to hurry up and go to Su Po and ask her why she was dealing with me. As for how to find her, I plan to go to the dormitory manager to ask first, the cleaner and the dormitory manager belong to the school's logistics department, maybe they know each other.
Since I decided not to sleep, I went to wash up, and stood in front of the mirror, I looked at my face really bad, I looked haggard, and I tried to smile, which can be regarded as an encouragement to myself.
After brushing my teeth, at the moment when I just raised my head, I saw myself blurred in the mirror, as if there was a ghost, I thought it was caused by the fog on the mirror, so I reached out to wipe away the fog, as my palm moved on the mirror, my face became clearer, but the moment I saw myself, my hand bounced away, and there was blood on my face in the mirror.
I turned on the faucet to the fullest, lowered my head and washed my face with ice water in both hands, but the water that ran down was colorless.
I was a little confused, and when I looked up again, I was still just a little pale in the mirror. I shook my head vigorously and told myself that it was just hallucinating due to lack of sleep.
When I turned around after washing, I caught a glimpse of a figure in the mirror out of the corner of my eye, I was startled, and when I looked over again, the mirror was covered with a layer of moisture, and I couldn't see it clearly, I shook my head helplessly, and returned to the bedroom.
finally survived until nine o'clock, Cai Han and I went downstairs to find the housekeeper and asked her about Su Po. Although I don't know Su Po's full name, the surname Su is a small surname, so it should be easy to find.
When I told the housekeeper what I was looking for, I heard that there was a joke, and I said that I had mistakenly thrown a document into the trash two days ago, and when I remembered to look for it, the trash can had already been cleaned, and Su Po was the cleaner in our area, and I wanted to ask her if she had picked up the information, because many cleaners would collect the waste paper in the garbage and sell it.
I thought that my reason was very reasonable and high-sounding, but when the housekeeper heard this, his eyes widened and he showed an expression of incredulity.
The appearance of the housekeeper made my heart tighten, urging her to ask what was wrong, she asked me how I knew that Su Po was the cleaner of our area, I bluntly said that I had seen her a few times recently, but as soon as I said this, she covered her mouth with both hands, and her eyes had changed from surprise to horror.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Cai Han on the side realized that something was wrong.
"She, she's been dead for several years......" It took a while for the housekeeper to shake out such a sentence. Hearing this, I couldn't help but shudder, and even felt that the sky was getting a lot darker.
"Yes, could it be that the wrong person is mistaken?" I asked, with some difficulty.
"I've been a housekeeper for seven or eight years, and there's only one cleaner here surnamed Su, so I think she's been dead for almost three years......"
I was still a little unwilling, so I described Su Po's appearance to her, especially mentioning her little feet, and the housekeeper nodded again and again, but at the same time, his face changed with fright.
When I got to the back, the housekeeper even looked at me differently, and consciously moved a few steps away from me, as if I was some kind of unlucky person.
And I myself can't come back to my senses, I actually saw a dead person? But I don't think she looks like a ghost, the night she rescued He Zhiyuan, when she pulled my wrist and walked forward, although it was cold, she also felt it, if it was an invisible ghost, how could she do this?
Compared with me, Cai Han seemed much calmer, he asked some questions about the housekeeper, and I was confused, so I listened to the word "Suxi".
Later, it was Cai Han who pushed me out of the dormitory management duty room, and when I went out, I looked up at the sky, it was gray, as if it was going to rain, which made me feel very depressed.
I was going to go back to the dormitory, but Cai Han took me to the outside of the dormitory, I asked him where to go, he said to find Su Xi, I reacted and asked him what he had just asked about the housekeeper, who was Su Xi.
"Su Xi is the granddaughter of the person who took your clothes, and she is a freshman at the School of Economics and Management of our school."
Hearing this, I frowned, I clearly remember that Su Po told me that she was alone, and now why did another granddaughter appear.
While walking, Cai Han told me about the Su family. Su Xi was brought up by her mother-in-law, their mother-in-law and grandson depended on each other, the main source of income was Su Po picking up waste and selling it, and later the school recruited cleaners, originally Su Po was too old, and the school took into account the actual situation of the Su family, so she was hired.
Three years ago, Su Po did not come to work for several days, and the school sent someone to her house, only to find that she suddenly fell seriously ill, and it was also at this time that the school learned that she was bringing a granddaughter who was in high school. Within a few days, Su Po passed away due to illness, and the logistics minister at that time was very kind-hearted, and won a place for Su Xi from the school, and the school would pay for Su Xi's tuition and miscellaneous expenses, and he would be sent directly to our school after graduating from high school.
Speaking of which, Su Xi is quite distressing, she has no parents since she was a child, and her only relative, her mother-in-law, has left her, how can she be a little girl, how can she bear such grief.
I asked Cai Han what we were going to do with Su Xi, and he said to make sure that the old woman was dead.
"What? You mean it's possible that Su Po isn't dead yet? "I'm coming to the spirit.
"I just think her death is a bit strange, how did she die suddenly, the housekeeper didn't say too clearly, and again, would you rather believe that she is not dead, or would you rather believe that you saw a ghost two days ago?" As he spoke, Cai Han stopped and asked me.
"I, of course I'd rather believe she's not dead......"
"But I advise you to be mentally prepared, lest you fail to accept the truth when you know it." Cai Han said this lightly and continued to walk towards the School of Economics.
I looked at his back and froze for a moment.
There are four classes in the freshman year of the School of Economics, and I thought it would take some effort to find Su Xi, but I found someone to ask about it casually, and I asked her.
