Chapter 488: Human Shadow (3)
Zhou Nuan looked at it empty.
The figure in his arms also disappeared.
Her hand slammed into her own little bed, and under her fingers was the soft sheet on the bed, not the stranger's clothes and skin.
That's definitely not mom.
It's a stranger!
Strange ghosts!
Zhou Nuan almost screamed, but because of fear and helplessness, he couldn't make a sound at all.
Her heart was beating so fast that her eardrums vibrated suddenly.
I don't know how long it was, but she fell asleep.
"It's a kid after all. Giggle......" A crisp and pleasant female voice appeared in the room.
The woman in the white dress leaned against Zhou Nuan's desk, watching Zhou Nuan's sleeping face in the dark. Zhou Nuan didn't sleep well, and her brows were furrowed. The woman floated to the bed, reached out to smooth the wrinkles between Zhou Nuan's eyebrows, and tucked the quilt for her.
She didn't look back, only said lightly: "There are already people in this house." You're going to find a place to live and go to another home. ”
She didn't hear a response, so she couldn't help but cold her face, straightened up, and looked at the door.
Li Yun looked at this woman in surprise and compared her with the woman he had seen in the Feng family's memory.
The two are not the same ghost. Moreover, this female ghost does not have that kind of evil ghost aura on her.
He's in the wrong place. Or rather, the "hourglass tyrant" got it wrong.
No, the "hourglass tyrant" is not mistaken. He saw a ghost in his uncle and thought it was his aunt who had just passed away, but it wasn't. Now it seems that he did not lie and was not mistaken. The reality is that there are more lonely ghosts in his uncle's house that shouldn't exist.
"You're not a member of this family, are you?" Li Yun asked.
The female ghost raised her eyebrows, "Don't you understand if you come first and then come?" Little offspring. ”
Li Yun choked, it was the first time he was called like this.
His face suddenly turned solemn, and he looked at the female ghost in front of him with pale skin, black hair, and a white dress that changed her appearance. The female ghost has a gorgeous makeup on her face, her long hair is coiled into a complex bun on the top of her head, her head is jeweled, and the pale white dress on her body has also become a bright ancient costume, and the clothes woven of red and green brocade have the same complex patterns as the female ghost's hair bun, and they also have the same weirdness.
Li Yun seems to have seen two classic female ghost images in ghost movies.
He immediately saw the third appearance of the female ghost.
The makeup on the girl's face melted, her whole face became extremely terrifying, her hair was scattered, like Medusa in Western mythology, and her gorgeous clothes became tattered, and blood continued to seep out, staining the ground red. The smell of blood came to my face. Li Yun has long been accustomed to Yi Xin's monster that smells of blood all the time, and he has maintained a good habit of taking allergy medicine, so he is not afraid of this.
He felt something from the change in the female ghost.
The amazing momentum of the female ghost was suddenly contained. She looked at Li Yun with pure white eyes against that terrifying face.
"Yo? Little offspring? You're not a little daring. How long have you been dead? Could it be an old cucumber painted with green paint and pretending to be a young ghost? ”
Li Yun heard the ridicule of the female ghost? Feeling the heart move? "You've been dead for a long time?"
The female ghost changed back to her plain appearance in white clothes, and her hand was pulled in the air? grabbed an equally snow-white down jacket and wrapped it around his body. Pulled out Zhou Nuan's chair again? After sitting down? Raise your foot and make a gesture to put on your shoes. She had an extra pair of boots on her bare feet.
She changed into a winter dress, but it can match Li Yun's dress, and there will be no more confusion in time and space.
Apparently? The previous dress was aimed at Zhou Nuan.
Li Yun didn't know what happened between her and Zhou Nuan? Just watched the female ghost pretend to change her dress, and couldn't help but think of black impermanence.
This female ghost is probably also a thousand-year-old ghost.
The female ghost said lightly: "It's okay, just leave quickly." I have this one. ”
"I'm here to ask you to leave." Li Yun said.
The female ghost kicked the boots on her feet, paused, and squinted at Li Yun.
"You didn't mean to hurt the family? Just don't stay here anymore and scare the family. Especially don't scare the little girl. Li Yun said.
The female ghost glanced at Zhou Nuan.
"I don't know why you're doing that? But please stop it. This little girl must have not spoken for a long time, right? She had just lost her mother, and now she ...... like this," Li Yun thought of Feng Siyun.
Two little girls? They have all experienced the pain of losing their mothers, and they have all seen ghosts. Feng Siyun is more pitiful than Zhou Nuan. What she saw was even more tragic. Zhou Nuan is lucky so far. But this female ghost who doesn't know the purpose continues to stay here? Maybe one day something big is going to happen? Killed this family.
Li Yun didn't think it was a good thing for people to stay with ghosts. Humans and ghosts? Especially when you don't know each other, the outcome is always unpredictable.
The female ghost snorted, "Little offspring, don't mind other people's affairs." You don't understand anything, so you don't have to point fingers here. ”
Li Yun frowned, "Then what are you going to do when you stay here?" You have no grievances with this family, right? ”
"I've just found a great seed, a fertile land, what do you think I'm going to do?" The female ghost hooked the corners of her mouth and waved her hand again, "Don't worry, I know how to measure, and I won't let this little girl have an accident." ”
How could Li Yun rest assured?
"I don't want to see black and white impermanence that won't hurt their lives." The female ghost said.
She obviously knows some of the rules of this world.
Thinking of this, Li Yun was shocked, looked at this woman in surprise, and then looked at Zhou Nuan who was sleeping on the bed.
The female ghost should not have Li Yun's ability, but because she has lived for a long time, she only saw the change in Li Yun's expression, so she guessed.
She laughed, "You don't seem to be as ignorant as I thought." Little offspring, what do you know? She approached and stared into Li Yun's eyes, "Do you also know that the living are the cornerstone and master of this Yin and Yang world?" ”
Li Yun couldn't hide the horror in his eyes.
The female ghost laughed and patted Li Yun's shoulder in a friendly manner, "What." So you know. Then you should understand what I'm doing. If we want to exist, we must convince the living that we exist, let us exist in the hearts of the living. Now that you know, don't get in my way. ”
Li Yun clenched his fists.
At this moment, he wanted to borrow the boss's flame and turn the female ghost into ashes, but as soon as this idea came to him, it disappeared.
The female ghost is not an evil ghost, and from the standpoint of the ghost, he should even support what the female ghost does.
However, when he thought of Yu Xingxing's incident and those innocent people who were killed by evil ghosts, he couldn't say that he supported the existence of ghosts in this world.
Li Yun's heart has another entanglement born from the Yu Xingxing incident.
He was in a dilemma.
"Not leaving? Are you going to give me a hand, or do you want to worship me as a big sister? I don't take anybody. The female ghost solemnly refused, "There was a pregnant woman who wanted to follow me before, but I refused." Don't ...... a young offspring like you, who is physically strong."
Li Yun raised his head suddenly, and his eyes startled the female ghost.
"What's wrong?" The female ghost asked suspiciously.
"What kind of pregnant woman are you talking about?" Li Yun's heart fluttered.
The female ghost thought for a moment, "That woman, alas, is also a poor person. She, like this little girl, had some yin and yang eyes when she was alive, and she could see me......"
※※※※※
Ma Jiayi has lived in Shang Yi Xin Yuan for nearly two years, but she has little contact with her neighbors and community properties. She lives as low-key as possible, and on weekdays, she either goes to a gym farther away, or goes to a beauty salon, and also goes to see art exhibitions, listen to music, drink afternoon tea, and comfortably post well-retouched photos in the circle of friends.
She has her own social circle, which she has met at these events.
These circles, which occupy a part of her life, are clearly distinguished from other parts, do not interfere with each other, and do not come into contact with each other.
She takes good care of the house in Shang Yi Xinyuan, just like the photos she takes with great care. Of course, she doesn't do housework like a housewife. The cleaning and sanitation work is all carried out by the sweeping robot and the cleaning aunt who regularly visits the house every week. She has already changed three aunts. The previous two were always lazy and not careful enough to clean the house thoroughly. This third aunt is still in the probation period, Ma Jiayi stared at her and worked twice, and she was quite satisfied, but she didn't completely put her mind at ease.
"Miss Ma." Shi Juan wiped her hands and stood at the door of the study, "I've cleaned the kitchen." ”
Ma Jiayi stood up from the computer and went to the kitchen. She glanced around the kitchen, then pulled out another piece of kitchen paper, rolled it into strips, stuffed it into the corner of the oven, and rubbed it.
The beautiful crystal nails pinched the piece of paper and brought it to the front of the eyes. Ma Jiayi looked at it carefully and confirmed that there were no stains left on it.
She went over the rest of the kitchen again.
Shi Juan stood at the kitchen door waiting, a little uneasy.
"Alright. OK. You can go and clean the bathroom. Ma Jiayi threw away the paper and turned around and ordered.
Shi Juan nodded in agreement and went to the bathroom.
Ma Jiayi returned to the computer and edited the photos she had taken again.
There are a lot of photos this time, and they are many of the photos she took during her trip to the seaside. The ones that took the selfie have already been posted, and the rest are landscape photos. She studied photography, and the photos she took were very good, but they were revised over and over again, and the original natural beauty had more traces of artificial carving, and she lost her original taste.
Ma Jiayi doesn't think this is bad, but thinks that this is a higher level of beauty.
She edited the last few photos, posted them on Moments and Weibo, let go of the hand holding the mouse, and stretched.
There was some sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Ma Jiayi didn't go to see how Shi Juan cleaned the bathroom. She stood on the balcony, opened the window, and soaked up the sun.
After a while, she touched her cheek and reflexively went into the dressing room, where she washed her face, reapplied her makeup, and put on sun protection.
It took a lot of time to get down a set of processes.
She smiled in the mirror and returned to the balcony to sit down on the chaise longue and feel the warm sunlight again.
She was going to read the magazine, but as soon as the magazine on the small table next to her was picked up, she yawned. The magazine landed on her flat belly.
She closed her eyes lazily, a little unable to resist the sudden sleepiness.
After closing the eyes, the sunlight can still penetrate the eyelids, making the eyes feel a little warm.
Ma Jiayi thought that she could go for a tan, and it seems that tanning has become popular again recently. I just don't know if Jingwei likes dark-skinned women. He probably prefers white-skinned women. If so, let's get a whitening next week.
Ma Jiayi's consciousness gradually blurred.
She had the image of a woman in her mind.
The woman had dark skin, a healthy bronzer, and looked like she was exercising a lot in the sun. She knew that the other party's skin color was not from sports, nor was it tanned, but from running and tanning on the construction site all year round in the past.
Ma Jiayi woke up suddenly.
She opened her eyes with some palpitations, feeling her heart pounding.
She lifted her hand and looked at her fair and tender skin and her fake nails in the sun.
"Miss Ma, the bathrooms are all cleaned."
Shi Juan's voice sounded behind her.
Ma Jiayi sat up and brushed the ground and turned her head.
Shi Juan was taken aback by her big move, "Ma...... Miss Ma, are you alright? ”
Ma Jiayi didn't know that she was now pale, not the kind of good-looking fair complexion.
"I'm fine." Ma Jiayi said softly, "Have you cleaned it all?" All three bathrooms cleaned? ”
"Yes."
"So fast?"
"It's been two hours." Shi Juan said suspiciously.
Ma Jiayi subconsciously glanced at the wall clock in the living room.
She had slept for so long.
Ma Jiayi got off the recliner and was about to go for an inspection, when she passed by Shi Juan's side, her footsteps stopped.
"Why are you so dark-skinned? Previously worked outdoors? Ma Jiayi asked.
Shi Juan was stunned, "I used to farm in my hometown and get a tan. I've been a nanny and cleaner for many years, almost 20 years. Farming was a long time ago. After entering the city, I worked as a cleaner, I participated in training ten years ago, and now I ...... every year," she quickly said of her resume.
Ma Jiayi interrupted her impatiently, "I know, I've seen your certificates. ”
Shi Juan shut up.
Ma Jiayi was in a very bad mood, and when she went to the bathroom to check, she picked bones in the eggs.
Shi Juan had no choice but to clean up again under Ma Jiayi's nose.
Ma Jiayi didn't have the patience to keep watching Shi Juan's work, and after watching it for a while, she went to the living room and sat down.
She turned on the TV and selected page by page in the library, just like many years ago, she pressed the remote control at home that was poorly contacted, and switched more than 30 channels of that small TV over and over again.
Feeling depressed, she looked at the balcony and tried to open the window wider.
As soon as she reached the balcony and pressed her hand on the window frame, she saw a figure on the opposite floor.
It's weird.
Obviously, the spacing between the two buildings is very exaggerated, and there is an artificial landscape lake in the middle. Even if she had already taken off her glasses, her myopic eyes had been laser-corrected, and she had normal vision, it would not have been possible to see the opposite building clearly.
But she could now see the figure behind the window on the same floor.
The woman stood on the balcony, her body fluttering, the hem of her skirt blown by the wind, outlining her slender figure.
That was the body shape that Ma Jiayi tried to achieve when she was a student, but then she knew that pure thinness is not enough, and men still like plump women. So she gained weight, picked up the weight she had worked so hard to lose, and did breast augmentation to make herself look curvy.
The woman opposite, just like what she had been striving for, was about to fall when the wind blew, as if it would float along with her clothes.
Ma Jiayi was thinking about it when she saw that the woman really floated......
She...... No foot ......
Like a drying rack with clothes hanging on, her body swayed in the wind. The head hit the automatic drying rack on the balcony as if it were making a soft clattering sound.
Ma Jiayi opened her mouth.
"Miss Ma......"
The call behind her made Ma Jiayi let out a short scream.
Ma Jiayi turned around tremblingly, and met Shi Juan's overwhelmed expression. She immediately turned back to look at the window opposite.
In the window of the balcony opposite, a long white dress was floating, but there was no human head on the drying rack at all.
It seems that she is dazzled......
A man soon appeared on the opposite balcony.
Ma Jiayi held her breath, and saw the person who couldn't see his face clearly, or even couldn't identify his gender, entered the balcony, stood for a while, put down the automatic drying rack, and put away the clothes on it.
There are no heads...... No one......
Ma Jiayi broke out in a cold sweat.
"Miss Ma, are you alright?" Shi Juan asked worriedly.
Ma Jiayi sat down on the recliner and shook her head, "It's okay." Alright, you can go back today. Come back next Monday. ”
"Oh. Then I'll go first. Shi Juan was about to leave, but stopped again, "Miss Ma, I have a Chinese and Western chef certificate and a nutritionist certificate." If you need someone to help you cook, I can do that too. ”
Ma Jiayi raised her eyelids and looked at Shi Juan.
Shi Juan smiled.
"How did you know I asked my aunt to cook?" Ma Jiayi asked.
Shi Juan's eyes flashed, and she said embarrassedly: "I'm just guessing." The people I helped before have gone abroad, and I now have more time to spare, and I'm looking for new people. If you need this, why don't I do the cleaning and cooking together? ”
"Hmm. I know. I'll talk about that next time. Ma Jiayi said perfunctorily.
The aunt who is cooking now, she is quite satisfied with the other party's craftsmanship, so she doesn't want to change people. However, that aunt has been cooking for her for half a year, and there is something wrong with her eyes recently.
Ma Jiayi became upset and drove Shi Juan away.
When Shi Juan left, Ma Jiayi hesitated and stood on the balcony again.
The curtains on the opposite balcony were drawn, and the interior was no longer visible.
