Chapter 111: The Soul of the Old Man Reappears
Ni Huairou only left for about a day, and something happened, Shen Lang held his hand on the steering wheel with a solemn face, thinking that Ni Huairou said before leaving that he wanted to investigate the matter, could it be that he encountered any danger?
The RV was driving fast on the winding mountain road, he knew this place but he didn't know that it was inhabited, and people who grew up in Beijing knew all kinds of attractions, but they didn't know that there were other places comparable to this mountain.
I had already seen the white European-style building, and in the sound of the rain, Shen Lang drove directly to the door of the villa, and there were already two people standing in front of the door waiting, one of whom looked older.
The RV was handed over to the younger of the men to drive to the garage, and the older one looked quite dignified, but his face was not so good.
"Mr. Shen, is that right? My old lady has been waiting for a long time, please inside. ”
As the housekeeper spoke, he greeted Shen Lang to the villa, and the two walked to the sofa in the hall, and Shen Lang saw an old woman with silver hair.
Liu Manwen was already sitting upright on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and his wrinkled face was even more frowning when he saw Shen Lang's arrival, Liu Manwen had never been welcome to strangers who came to Liu Mansion, especially men.
"Butler Guang, this is the man who called Xiaorou?"
Liu Manwen asked the housekeeper in an unkind tone, but his eyes lingered on Shen Lang's face, with a look of visit and ridicule in his eyes.
Shen Lang didn't know why the person he had just met could show such hostility, but he hadn't seen Ni Huairou yet, Shen Lang didn't plan to care about Liu Manwen's attitude, he just wanted to see Ni Huairou safe first.
"Back to the old lady, this Mr. Shen is the one who took in Miss Xiaorou, and he is also the one who talked to Miss Xiaorou in the early morning."
The light housekeeper made a brief introduction for Shen Lang, and Shen Lang felt a pain in his heart when he heard Ni Huairou's name, thinking that when he heard Ni Huairou's scream a few hours ago, it seemed that something terrible had happened.
Ni Huairou's character and courage are much stronger than ordinary women, what can scare Ni Huairou?
Shen Lang was curious and very worried, and his face couldn't help but bring an anxious look, which was interpreted as impatience with himself in Liu Manwen's eyes.
"Hmph, I still talk to men on the phone in the middle of the night, and I really don't know how to check like her mother."
After Liu Manwen finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and tasted the tea slowly, but Liu Manwen's words made Shen Lang frown when he heard it.
"Where is Xiaorou, I want to go and see her."
didn't want to stay with Liu Manwen for more, Shen Lang already knew that Liu Manwen didn't like Ni Huairou, although Shen Lang was dissatisfied with Liu Manwen's attitude, but the other party was an elder after all, and Shen Lang didn't care too much.
"Oh, in the room on the second floor. Old lady, what about me...... Take Mr. Shen to see Miss Xiaorou first? ”
Butler Guang looked at Liu Manwen and asked for instructions, and Butler Guang could also see that Liu Manwen didn't like Ni Huairou, and even didn't seem to like Shen Lang, probably because Liu Manwen thought of Liu Manzhen who eloped.
Liu Manwen's eyes were red bloodshot, and he looked at Shen Lang for a long time and didn't see Shen Lang a little impatient, and finally swept his gaze to Steward Guang, his tone was still not relaxed, but he also agreed indirectly.
"That girl doesn't want to be famous, my old lady still needs face. Well, let him see it and leave quickly, not everyone can come to visit my Liufu. ”
"Oh, yes. Old lady, you rest first, and I'll take Mr. Shen up first. ”
The housekeeper hurriedly responded, as if he was afraid that Liu Manwen would regret it, so he hurriedly took two steps to lead the way for Shen Lang.
When he arrived at the room on the second floor, Shen Lang roughly looked at the pattern, paused at the door of the room for a few seconds before following the footsteps of the housekeeper to enter the room, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Ni Huairou who was unconscious on the bed.
"Xiao Rou!"
Shen Lang took three steps and two steps and soon came to the bedside, and saw Ni Huairou wrinkling her brows and looking like she was having a nightmare in pain, her lips were pale, and there were dark circles under her eyes, just because she didn't see Ni Huairou for a day.
Seeing Shen Lang's attitude, the light housekeeper knew that Shen Lang would not hurt Ni Huairou, so he nodded reassuringly and retreated out of the door, covering the door and leaving the space for the two young people to be alone.
"Xiaorou, wake up......"
Holding Ni Huairou's somewhat cold fingers, Shen Lang looked at her distressedly, brushed the messy hair on Ni Huairou's forehead with his slender fingers, and carefully looked at Ni Huairou, who was not steady in a coma.
For a day, Shen Lang hated himself a little for letting Ni Huairou leave, if he didn't agree, maybe Ni Huairou wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing.
Ni Huairou in a coma frowned, and nightmares attacked the brain one after another, even if Ni Huairou knew that she was dreaming, she still couldn't wake up, and the headache was strong and tearing her nerves.
Ni Huairou in the dream stared at the door, knowing that there was a person standing outside the door that she couldn't think of anyway, she wanted to open the door to find out, and she wanted to lock the door to prevent people outside from entering.
But the door had been knocked quickly and vigorously on the door, as if the door would be smashed open soon, and Ni Huairou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her forehead.
"No...... Don't ......"
Shen Lang watched Ni Huairou waving his hands and struggling, as if he was frightened by something chasing him, and grabbed Ni Huairou's waving hand.
"Xiaorou, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I'm here! ”
"Ahh Don't touch me! Don't catch me! ”
Ni Huairou struggled violently, as if she was getting rid of Shen Lang's hand, and the look on her face was even more frightened and flustered.
"Xiao Rou! Wake up, it's a dream! Don't be afraid! I'm Shen Lang, I'm here! ”
Shen Lang clenched the palm of Ni Huairou's hand that he wanted to break free, and stroked Ni Huairou's sweaty forehead with one hand, maybe his voice played a role, Ni Huairou hesitated and paused for a moment.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with me, no one can hurt you. Xiaorou, wake up, ......"
After Ni Huairou stopped struggling, Shen Lang's voice became more and more gentle, and the warm body temperature was transmitted to Ni Huairou along the skin contact, which seemed to soothe Ni Huairou's excited expression.
"Shen Lang......?"
Ni Huairou looked at the person who shouldn't be here with half-open eyes, and shouted Shen Lang's name with some trembling and uncertain voices in her voice.
"It's me. Are you awake, are you feeling better? ”
Seeing Ni Huairou wake up, Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know what Ni Huairou saw in his dream, but Shen Lang knew that it must be something that scared Ni Huairou.
"You...... How did it end up here? ”
Hearing Shen Lang's voice, Ni Huairou finally came to her senses and looked at Shen Lang who shouldn't have appeared here suspiciously.
"Early morning call, you forgot?"
Shen Lang's simple reminder made Ni Huairou's face suddenly become very ugly, and Shen Lang felt that he was holding Ni Huairou's hand and was tightly grasped by Ni Huairou.
"What happened yesterday?"
Ni Huairou stared at the button on Shen Lang's chest with lost eyes, her body trembled when she thought of what happened last night, and she still remembers the scene she saw when she opened the door.
"I ...... last night" Ni Huairou's voice trembled unprecedentedly, making Shen Lang frown and waiting for her to continue. I saw Wu Meng......"
"What!?" Shen Lang shouted, grabbed Ni Huairou's shoulders with both hands, Ni Huairou was scratched by his strength, but she only frowned and endured.
"You said you ...... Who did you see? ”
"Wu Meng."
Shen Lang's brain seemed to explode with thunder, which made Shen Lang's mind numb, Ni Huairou actually saw Wu Meng, who had been dead for a long time, which was absolutely impossible.
"Isn't it wrong for you, how did you see him, are you sure you're okay? Haven't you come to your senses yet, are you hallucinating? ”
Ni Huairou looked at Shen Lang and became excited, and shook her head vigorously and firmly, dispelling Shen Lang's suspicions.
"I know what I've seen, and you should know that I'm not the kind of person who can't tell the difference between reality and illusion, which is why I was scared last night."
"No, you wait a minute, you saw it with your own eyes when Wu Meng died, so it is impossible for him to be alive. Last night, what you saw must not have been him, maybe it was your delusion, I don't believe it. ”
"But I did see him last night, and he still had ...... on his forehead" Thinking of Wu Meng's death, Ni Huairou couldn't say anything, but in order to make Shen Lang believe it, he had to say: "There is still a gun hole in his forehead, bleeding, exactly the same as the scene when he died." ”
Shen Lang didn't want to believe that what Ni Huairou said was true, but he was a little shaken when he looked at Ni Huairou's expression, he was also an atheist, there could be no ghosts in this world, but how to explain everything Ni Huairou saw?
"What else? Do you remember anything? Did he talk to you? Did that Wu Meng talk to you or anything, 'he' couldn't have appeared here for no reason. ”
Shen Lang felt that Wu Meng must not be the real Wu Meng, Wu Meng had been dead for so long, how could he appear at this time, and even if Wu Meng really appeared, how could he come to Ni Huairou, and it was not Ni Huairou who killed Wu Meng.
The whole thing revealed a smell of conspiracy, but Shen Lang looked at Ni Huairou as if she was frightened by what she saw, and this was the first time she had seen Ni Huairou frightened.
Trying to recall everything she saw, Ni Huairou knew why Shen Lang said this, in fact, Ni Huairou also felt that this matter was strange.
"I don't remember, it wasn't him who I was waiting for last night, but when I opened the door, I saw ...... My head is so messy, Shen Lang, don't ask......"
Ni Huairou curled up her legs in some pain, holding her head and burying her knees in pain.
Last night, she obviously wanted to wait for the faceless woman to appear, to see if the faceless woman was played by a human or really her deceased mother, but she never thought that the person who appeared would be Wu Meng, who died in vain.
For Wu Meng's death, Ni Huairou has always felt guilty in her heart, could it be that it was really because of this, so she only saw Wu Meng's hallucinations last night?
Ni Huairou is also a little unsure whether she has seen it now, it stands to reason that there are no ghosts in this world, but how to explain everything she sees?
Seeing that you Huairou was showing fragility in front of him, Shen Lang couldn't bear to force Ni Huairou anymore, so he could only sit quietly next to her and accompany her.
Wu Meng, did Wu Meng's soul appear to find him? Ni Huairou's head was chaotic, and all kinds of thoughts came up, thinking of the ghost rumors since ancient times, Ni Huairou never thought that he would encounter it.
Leaving Ni Huairou to rest in the room, Shen Lang walked out of the door and dialed Wu Meng's sister's phone, and after greeting for a while, he began to ask about Wu Meng's death, and what he got was nothing more than the normal process and procedures.
The body had been cremated, Wu Meng's sister still couldn't hold back tears when she said this, Shen Lang persuaded Wu Meng's sister for a while before finally hanging up the phone.
It is impossible for Wu Meng to live, and it is impossible for him to come so far to find Ni Huairou, so there are only two possibilities left, one is that Ni Huairou really saw the "soul", and the other is that someone deliberately scared Ni Huairou.
The first possibility is beyond normal thinking, but it does not rule out that Ni Huairou is dreaming or delusional; The second possibility is worth pondering, because who would know what happened to Ni Huairou and use it to scare Ni Huairou?
Assuming the second possibility is true, then there must be someone operating in the shadows, but what is the purpose of this person to do so? Have a holiday with Ni Huairou?
Shen Lang recalled that after entering the villa, he felt that everything here was too retro and nostalgic, and what made him care very much was the old lady, although it should be Xiao Rou's grandmother, but the old lady obviously didn't want to see Xiao Rou.
There are strange things everywhere, Xiao Rou said that she wanted to find out the news, this deep mansion compound used to be where her mother grew up, so these things still seem to be inseparable from Xiao Rou's life experience.
Shen Lang saw the light housekeeper standing in the corridor, and couldn't help but ask about the situation of the villa, and the light housekeeper gave a comprehensive answer to Shen Lang's questions, and even told him everything that happened before.
