Chapter Ninety-Six: Reality and Dreams

"How can it not be an accident?"

The fat man took a sip of wine and continued: "At a temple fair about five years ago, someone accidentally touched a burning lantern and burned the whole house, and it is said that more than a dozen people died in the fire that year, and several were seriously injured. ”

There is a door!

As soon as I heard the news, my eyes lit up and I continued to ask.

At this time, I asked with an exaggerated expression.

"Uncle, since there is such a serious fire, doesn't it affect the holding of the temple fair?"

"To tell you the truth, except for the three-day temple fair that was forced to be terminated, it did not have any impact on this street, everyone should eat and drink, and forget about it in a few months."

The fat man sighed helplessly.

When the words fell, I inexplicably felt a wave of sorrow, I was burned to death by the fire, and it didn't take long for people to forget about it, and my death was a little too sad.

Just as I was about to sigh, the fat man suddenly had a mysterious expression, and first walked to the door to make sure that it was locked, and then sat down next to the few of us.

"By the way, don't say I don't treat you as friends, give you a warning."

"During the three days of the temple fair, I will return to the room every night, and don't come out again after twelve o'clock, otherwise it is easy to have an accident or even die."

"A while ago, some people didn't listen to the warnings, and as a result, they were sent corpses and thrown in mass graves, and some were directly on the street, and it is said that the whole stomach was hollowed out, so ah, the lessons left by the ancestors must be heard."

In a few words, it reveals a lot of information.

Hearing this, not only me, but even Uncle Chen on the side became energetic, as if he had been beaten in an instant.

He asked, "Brother, what kind of lesson is this?" ”

When the words fell, the fat man hesitated for a long time, and finally his heart was crossed, and his eyes were full of absolute and helplessness.

"Look at a few of you have good eyes, and this young man saved people on the street just now, let's be honest with you, it is rumored that at the temple fair hundreds of years ago, the saint and ordinary people were found to be in love, and then the two were executed on the street."

"Since then, people have died almost once a year at four temple fairs, sometimes passers-by watching the excitement on the side of the street, sometimes people in the parade of floats, and sometimes even a bunch of people have died, like the fire that year."

"All in all, although there was no inheritance of the saint later, this spell was never broken."

I couldn't laugh at all when I heard that.

The so-called curse, is it really the unjust soul that harms the living, or is someone secretly doing mischief and killing people indiscriminately through this legend?

Either way, the situation is very bad.

Uncle Chen was obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem, but in order not to discover the abnormalities in us, he quickly changed the topic and talked about something else, and the fat man did not suspect our identity and purpose.

……

Ate and drank at the restaurant, and finally left at 8 o'clock in the evening.

By this time, it was completely dark, and because there were dark clouds tonight, the stars and the moon could not be seen at all.

On the way back, looking at the faint moonlight outside the window, my mind was extremely clear, and I kept thinking about the temple fair and the strange legend.

About half an hour later I went back to the villa.

The housekeeper had already arranged a new room for Ah Dong to move in directly.

This guy had been out all day during the day, and when he entered the house, he fell asleep in bed, and before I could enter the house, I heard his loud snoring in the hallway.

I really envy this heartless sleep quality, I want to have half of it.

But I also know that sleeping can't be forced, it can only be followed.

So I sighed and went straight back to my bed, staring at the intricate chandelier overhead, and I don't know how long it took, but I felt sleepiness hit me, and I fell asleep in a daze.

When I regained consciousness, I found that the person was not in the Jia family's villa, but on the street where he had been during the day.

It's night.

But the streets were already lit with lanterns, all made of bamboo and papier-mΓ’chΓ©, not electric lanterns.

Therefore, it is as bright as day, and it does not feel dark at all.

It was surrounded by crowds of people coming and going, and it was very lively, and the occasional child's laughter made it all seem very real.

"Is it a dream?"

I muttered a sentence and walked aimlessly.

It didn't take long for me to notice a huge float coming at me, shaped like a big boat, with the front and tail filled with freshly picked flowers, and it seemed that you could still smell the fragrance.

On top of the float, there were a total of seven girls, each of whom was graceful and well-dressed.

Every move is full of charm, and the bell on the body shakes with it, making a trembling sound, as if it can seduce the soul.

All of them wore thin veils, and when the wind blew, they could vaguely glimpse the hidden faces of the peerless faces, as if the fairies in the sky were nothing more than that.

"Hehe~"

The sound of laughter like silver bells came from mid-air.

Although there was a cacophony of people all around, I could hear it very clearly.

I couldn't help but take two steps forward, getting closer and closer to the float, and I was about to crash into it.

But at this juncture, the float stopped first, and the seven girls suddenly stopped dancing, and all turned to look at me fixedly.

That kind of look makes the heart go hairy.

It was at this moment that I noticed that my surroundings were quiet and fell into a dead silence, and there was no more sound or movement.

I subconsciously felt scared and tried to run, but I found that my feet seemed to have roots, and I could only stand in place like a tree, unable to move at all.

Something worse happened in the panic.

Somehow, the crowd around them all wore masks of blue fangs, and their bodies stood there stiffly, like evil ghosts.

In the next second, they suddenly began to move, and they were approaching me step by step, and the encirclement was shrinking smaller and smaller.

"You...... What the hell are you going to do?! ”

I finally found my voice and screamed, but no one paid attention.

At this moment, my legs were finally able to move, and because the crowd around me was so tight, I turned around and jumped on the float, but before I could stand firmly, I heard a sad laugh.

"You took the initiative to give us a hug, but you can't complain about us."

"Who are you?" I asked as I turned around.

Then, I found that the seven women just now had completely changed, the peerless faces on their faces disappeared, and the veils didn't know where they flew.

All that was left was a face with twisted facial features and hideous horror, with fangs hanging from my mouth, as if they could bite my arteries at once.

Am I really going to die here for no apparent reason?
