Chapter 391: Ghost Messenger
When that ghostly aura appeared, I could clearly feel that it was in the midst of this group of old people. But when Wushuang and I approached them, we couldn't feel it.
I came back in a huff. I whispered to my mother, "Who are these old men?" ”
My mother said a little unhappily: "It's no one, and the eight poles can't be beaten." ”
I looked at her a little strangely: "Can't hit the eight poles?" So what's going on with these old men? ”
My mother looked at the old men who were eating like crazy and drinking, and said, "You go to school outside and don't come back often, so you probably don't know." These old men are old residents in the community, and they usually don't go out at home. But whoever has any happy events, they come to eat all the time, rely on the old and sell the old, eat more than anyone else, but never give money. ”
I patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, we're not short of that money, we have opened an amusement park in the past two years, and our family is about to become a nouveau riche." ”
My mother shook her hand unhappily: "A little can't be so bad." If you don't give these old men some color, you think we're two fools. ”
Then she stopped a child. This kid is a descendant of my grandmother's family. At this time, the waiter made a cameo appearance, and he was sweating profusely to serve the food.
My mother said to the child, "Remember." See that group of old men? Their wine is just a bottle on the table. ”
The child looked at my mother suspiciously: "Auntie, is one bottle a little less for one table?" ”
My mom said, "Aren't you too much water?" ”
The child nodded thoughtfully.
My mother then instructed, "Slow down the food for them, so that they don't eat too much." ”
The child agreed.
I looked at her and couldn't help but laugh. Who can guess. My mom has always been approachable, but she was forced to be careful and mean by these old men who could eat.
After my mother finished instructing the child, she suddenly turned her head and saw me and Wushuang, and counted them together: "Why don't you two go to toast?" I haven't said anything about the two of you just now, the toasts have to be in order......"
Wushuang and I ran away as if we were running away, holding the wine glasses and starting to toast one by one.
Wushuang said with a sad face: "Your mother has become a mother-in-law, and it seems that she is nagging more than before." ”
I drank a glass of wine and whispered, "Bear with it, you will have to do it when you become a mother-in-law." ”
Wushuang's temper came up and didn't look at the occasion, and kicked me directly on the calf.
I stumbled and almost fell on the table.
The toast after that was all limping past.
Although the elders of the family told me that the old man did not need to go to the table. But I walked over with a glass of wine and a smile on my face.
I wasn't at ease with the group and decided to find out.
Wushuang had the same mind as me, and the two of us walked over. Toast one by one. Until the time of the last old man. I realized something was wrong.
The old man drank a lot of wine, but his face was not red at all. I took a closer look and noticed that he had a lot of powder on his face.
These powders are like putty sticking to the wall, not only filling in the wrinkles, blocking the pores, but also covering the face.
I sniffed it, and there was a strong smell of flower dew on him. Either this old man is particularly good at attracting mosquitoes, or he is covering up something.
I leaned over and clinked glasses with him, and said softly, "Are the ghosts of the underworld already so powerful?" can actually hide the ghost energy on his body as he wants. ”
As soon as I said this, I said. The old man's hands trembled, and he spilled all the wine.
I thought he would run away in a hurry when I saw through it, or get angry and fight with me. However, he actually laughed: "I didn't expect it to be seen by you." Come on, we're done. ”
Then, he poured himself another glass. Cocking his neck, he drank the glass of wine dry.
I don't want to alarm too many people, especially my mom. So I lowered my voice and asked indifferently, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? The paper money that appears these days, did you do it? ”
He arched his hand at me: "It's just a little ghost down there." Indeed from the underworld. However, this time I was completely ill-intentioned. As for the purpose of my visit. Let's talk about it when the marriage is over. Today is your day of great joy after all. ”
I can't wait to pull the old man out right now and beat him with a blue nose and swollen face. But Wushuang and I have been here long enough. The people around were watching. I'm going to settle things and settle accounts after the fall.
So knowing that something was wrong with this old man, I decided to let him go. I said viciously, "Don't go." I'll be back to you in a moment. ”
The old man nodded and said very calmly, "Okay." ”
Wushuang and I were led to do all kinds of things. Eat this fruit first, and then bite into which steamed bun. After this set of procedures, I was already exhausted from tossing.
When I finally had time to look back. I chuckled inwardly and found that the old man at the table had dispersed. All of them are gone.
In fact, our weddings here usually start in the morning and gradually disperse in the afternoon. It's not just the old man at the table who is gone, but the rest of the relatives are also leaving.
My mom looked tired: "Okay." People are gone. Let's rest. Who's that. Lao Jiang, and Cao Cao. You guys help clean up, I can't do it, I need to clean up for a while. ”
Wushuang and I helped my mother upstairs. When on the road. I asked for the old man's address.
After settling my parents in, Wushuang and I changed our clothes and went downstairs.
By this time it was close to evening. The red sun is falling in the west, the sun is shining at ten thousand points, and it is indescribably beautiful. But I'm not in the mood to appreciate it. All I have in my heart is heat. I don't know how to get rid of it.
We rushed to the old man's house, and there was no nonsense, just kicked the door in.
It stinks inside. It's like I haven't cleaned in a hundred years. Every time I walked, I felt like I had stepped on something.
I looked down and saw that it was dirt, and the dirt on the ground was mixed with dirty water, and it seemed to have a scab on the ground, and it was very brittle from the heat of the past few days. We stepped on it and trampled it to pieces.
Wushuang reached out and pointed forward. I saw the old man sitting in a chair with his back to us.
I reached out and touched it, trying to pull out the peachwood sword. But it was empty. At this time, I remembered that the peachwood sword was taken away by my mother.
I walked over and patted the old man on the head, "Hey, we're here." ”
The old man did not turn around, but shook his head, and then, with a snap, his whole head fell off.
I took a sharp step back in fright. At this time, I found that the old man's neck was almost rotten.
I crouched down and studied his face carefully. He was right at the wedding just now. The putty on the face is still there.
Wushuang covered his nose and said, "This old man should have been dead for a long time." Look at what it's all rotting into. ”
I stood up and said, "So, what we saw at the wedding was ......."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a man behind me say, "It's a ghost." ”
I jerked around and shouted, "Who is it?" ”
When I turned around, I saw an old man standing behind me. This old man is full of ghosts. It's supposed to be a ghost at the wedding.
I looked at the old man and said, "You did it?" ”
The old man nodded very frankly: "That's right, it's me." The old guy had been dead for a few days, and it was hot and rotting very quickly. His children and grandchildren are not around. Didn't even know he was dead. I used his body, and just now I left a message for his children and grandchildren, someone should collect his body. ”
Then he said very dissatisfiedly: "This body is rotting too fast." I didn't dare to push too hard when I was drinking. I'm really worried about my arms and legs falling off. ”
I looked at him and asked with a gloomy face, "You were the ghost just now?" ”
The old man nodded: "Yes." ”
I looked at him in disbelief: "Even if you're from the underworld." Your strength is not enough. If it's a ghost, Wushuang and I will definitely be able to detect the ghost qi on your body. But at the wedding, this smell was hidden. ”
The old man laughed: "So you are suspicious of this." Speaking of which, this is thanks to Wushuang. Then he took something out of his bosom. This thing is the Soul Locking Ring.
