Chapter 490: Human Shadow (4)

Song Yingying didn't know where Wang Yiqiu's high-grade incense candles were bought. But in Yaocheng, as long as incense is mentioned, and worship is mentioned, the only thing that can be thought of is the Guanyin Temple.

Li Yun has never been to the Guanyin Temple in Yaocheng so far, and he does not know the situation of the Guanyin Temple.

Song Yingying is a native of Shannan, although she has "settled" in Yaocheng for many years, her scope of action is limited to the three courtyards, and she has never been to Guanyin Temple.

The two ghosts didn't know the situation of the Guanyin Temple, so they went upstairs and asked Wang Yiqiu about the third ghost, and the answer they got was the same blank.

Wang Yiqiu, a young girl, has never been to Guanyin Temple at most when she hears her elders mention it.

“…… Oh, I went there when I was a kid, before I went to elementary school. Wang Yiqiu suddenly remembered what happened before, "One year, the Guanyin Temple held a Lantern Festival, and my parents took me there. ”

She had no memory of it, and when she saw the photos taken by her parents, she couldn't remember what had happened. At that time, she was really too young, and I heard Wang Sheng and Li Jingjing say that the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival saw people's heads, and the lanterns of all sizes had no chance to look carefully. After that, their family never went to the Guanyin Temple.

"I don't know where I bought the incense at home...... Is it because of this? Wang Yiqiu looked at the incense in front of his portrait and asked in a panic.

"It's possible. Can it be extinguished first? Li Yun asked, "I want to see how those ghosts react." ”

Wang Yiqiu agreed.

She herself can't use the ghost's abilities well, and this can only be done by Li Yun.

During this period of time, Li Yun has not only used his abilities skillfully, but also adapted to the current body that belongs to a ghost.

The incense was extinguished, but the smell did not dissipate so quickly.

"They just want to give me the best ......," Wang Yiqiu muttered.

Song Yingying hugged Wang Yiqiu's shoulder, "It's okay." Those are just lonely ghosts, and they won't do anything. ”

Wang Yiqiu's body trembled slightly, "But, they will attract that kind of thing, right?" That thing last time...... "She thought of the terrible creature she had seen before, the monster that looked like a human being, just a glance? It's scary. Wang Yiqiu is more afraid of such things appearing in the community? It would hurt her parents.

"Have you ever been to see that little nephew of yours?" Li Yun suddenly asked.

Wang Yiqiu raised his eyes to look at Li Yun and nodded? "Saw it only last week? I glanced at it from afar. He's fine. There aren't so many ghosts in his neighborhood over there. ”

Wang Yiqiu said this, and his eyes fell on the incense that had been extinguished. She also felt that the problem was this. Could it be that this ghost has an attractive incense? Brought in all the lonely souls and ghosts. Maybe there is also the factor of the last time Mr. Shi made a fuss. The combination of two factors made her community become ghostly.

"Observe for a while. Let's see if the ghosts leave. ”

"What if not?" Wang Yiqiu asked impatiently.

Li Yun was silent for a while? "Then we can only see what Bai Wuchang can do."

His voice fell? Then I heard a heavy sound of landing.

Li Yun turned his head and looked at Yi Xin, who was standing on the balcony.

"Stay here, I'm going back." Yi Xin said impatiently.

It was beyond Li Yun's expectation that she could stay here for so long.

"You want to go back to the company?" Li Yun asked cautiously.

Yi Xin rolled his eyes? "Or else? He hasn't returned to Yaocheng yet. ”

The "he" in Yi Xin's mouth is naturally her current doctor boyfriend.

Don't wait for Li Yun to say anything? Yi Xin opened the window, turned into a small bat, and jumped out.

The cold wind blows into the room, blowing the curtains and the paper cutouts attached to the window glass do not fit the glass completely? The wind blew and pounded on the glass, as if it was about to be torn apart by the cold wind.

Li Yun hurriedly went to close the window? Gently smoothed the bright red paper cut again.

"I used to post it." Wang Yiqiu said.

Li Yun and Song Yingying both looked at Wang Yiqiu.

"When I was in elementary school, I learned paper-cutting in a school interest class." Wang Yiqiu smiled, "Since then? I make window grilles for my house every year. I'm pretty good at this. All the way to high school ......"

It's not that when she reaches high school, her family won't let her do it? I only want her to study and take the college entrance examination. But Wang Yiqiu is at that age? Too lazy to do this. She doesn't want to do it herself? Wang Sheng and Li Jingjing didn't mention it, and directly bought all kinds of window grilles produced by machines in a nearby grocery store.

During the New Year at her home, Wang Sheng and Li Jingjing always hope that the family will have more New Year's flavor. A few years ago, when there was no ban on fireworks and firecrackers in Yaocheng, Wang Sheng would always prepare more fireworks and firecrackers. When welcoming the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Wang Sheng pinched the firecrackers downstairs. The fireworks were lit up as early as Chinese New Year's Eve by her and her little nephew Li Yun.

Since high school, she has not cut window flowers again, Yaocheng also banned fireworks, and the Chinese New Year's Eve at home did not have to be busy with Li Jingjing and others, but ate in a restaurant...... The few remaining flavors of the New Year are the complicated and rough window grilles of the grocery store. Li Jingjing is tired of this, often running a lot of small shops to rummage through beautiful window flowers, and will also look at Taobao for a long time, looking for innovative Spring Festival couplets, pairs, door gods, New Year's paintings...... Besides, it is to buy a new red dress for the whole family.

No matter how hard they work, for their family, this quiet Spring Festival every year is a little unspeakably lonely.

This year, there is even one less person at the family's reunion dinner.

Missing her......

Wang Yiqiu leaned back on the sofa dejectedly.

At such times, it became more and more clear to her that she was dead.

"Xiaoqiu......" Song Yingying hugged Wang Yiqiu and rubbed her soft hair.

She was also recalled by Wang Yiqiu.

The Chinese New Year's Eve reunion night, which I hadn't thought about for many years, came to mind.

She is no longer in the house, but there are two new members.

This year, everything will be fine at home.

And Wang Yiqiu's family is about to spend the Spring Festival without Wang Yiqiu for the first time.

Li Yun didn't have much worry about the New Year, but now he was also affected by the two girls, and he was a little sad.

His consciousness drifted a little, and once again he sensed the strange atmosphere in the neighborhood.

The living welcome the new year, and for the ghosts, they will only feel lonely.

※※※※※

Ma Jiayi also felt lonely.

She doesn't admit this loneliness, but she can't help but be upset when she thinks about the upcoming Spring Festival.

She always takes out her phone and reads it, as if she is switching channels and browsing the library, constantly flipping through the content on her phone.

She didn't see the news she was expecting, so she tossed her phone aside, and after a while, repeated the same behavior.

Shi Juan didn't seem to notice Ma Jiayi's weirdness, and asked with a smile: "Miss Ma, it's about to be the New Year." I couldn't come from Chinese New Year's Eve to the third year of junior high school, and the rest of the time was empty. Do you live here for Chinese New Year? Want to cook? After a while, the dishes will be difficult to buy. You see what you need......"

Her question was interrupted by Ma Jiayi's gloomy eyes.

"Got it, I don't want you to prepare. I flew to Hainan at the age of twenty-eight to celebrate the New Year there. Come back after the first month. You come to clean up the day before the first month. ”

Shi Juan hurriedly agreed.

"I don't want you to prepare the food." Ma Jiayi said again.

After the first month, the longitude and latitude are free. He has already booked a 10-day trip to Europe. Less than two days after she returned from Hainan, she was about to fly away from Europe again.

Ma Jiayi thought of this, and her mood was bright for a while, and then sank again.

Her eyes fell on her phone's address book again.

After a while, she selects a contact and dials out the number.

The beep of the phone made Ma Jiayi nervous.

Before she could connect, she heard a mechanical beep.

Ma Jiayi knew that her number was still blocked, so she was furious, threw her mobile phone on the sofa, snorted into the bedroom, and shouted: "Shi Juan, help me put water, I want to take a bath." ”

Shi Juan was cleaning the bedroom, but when she saw this, she had to respond immediately and went to the bathroom.

She put water in the jacuzzi, opened the locker next to her, and looked at the dazzling bath salts and essential oils, and was a little embarrassed.

"Bath salts with roses. Sprinkle some more petals. ”

Ma Jiayi's order came from the bedroom.

Shi Juan stopped thinking and prepared a pool of warm water directly according to Ma Jiayi's instructions.

Ma Jiayi also came in in a bathrobe at this time. His hair was coiled up, but the makeup on his face had not been removed.

Shi Juan has never seen Ma Jiayi without makeup, it seems that when she sleeps, Ma Jiayi has makeup on her face.

"Alright, you go out. You're done cleaning and you're good to go. Ma Jiayi lifted her chin.

Shi Juan agreed and exited the bathroom.

She thinks that Ma Jiayi is the kind of spoiled rich second generation, full of arrogance and squeamishness, but if you want to say bad intentions, it is estimated that there is no such thing. At least, Ma Jiayi has no bad intentions towards her. Ma Jiayi probably didn't think of her as a "person".

Shi Juan didn't feel insulted.

She used to work as a cleaner for a family with a child, and the child bullied people without malice, and the way his parents laughed and said "no" was the real insult.

Ma Jiayi gives money generously, and she doesn't have much work, although she is picky, Shi Juan feels that she can fully cope with Ma Jiayi's various requirements.

The most important thing is that Ma Jiayi is generous with money.

Shi Juan thought so, her hands were more diligent, and she wanted to finish the work here earlier, so that she could have time to go to the nearby business district to take a stroll and prepare for the New Year's gift to take back to her hometown.

Her son will pick her up on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, and she will be able to bring more things back this year without having to carry her luggage on the high-speed train.

In addition to things for a few old people, there are also for sons and daughters-in-law, and for little granddaughters...... My little granddaughter is going to junior high school this year, and I can't buy children's gadgets anymore. The last time he talked to his son on the phone, he also mentioned that his little granddaughter is already older, and the couple are ready to have another child. The little granddaughter said that she wanted a sister to play with, and she was like a child. The cost of raising another child is not small. Ma Jiayi's side......

Shi Juan was thinking about it when she heard a sound of water coming from the bathroom.

The sound of water is not like the sound of Ma Jiayi's casual movement.

Shi Juan's heart jumped, thinking of some old people she had taken care of in the past, and hurriedly ran to the bathroom.

She stopped at the bathroom door and shouted through the frosted glass, "Miss Ma? ”

There was no movement in the bathroom for a long time.

Just as Shi Juan was about to open the door and go in, she heard Ma Jiayi's hoarse voice.

"It's you......" Ma Jiayi's voice was relieved, but it suddenly rose again, "What are you doing outside?" ”

"I just heard a voice...... Shi Juan replied, also feeling that she was nervous just now.

She is now in charge of two families, one is Ma Jiayi, Ma Jiayi is a well-proportioned and beautiful young woman, and the other is a family of three, whose parents are in their forties, but they are well maintained, and their children are all in college, and they are also at the age of youth and are in good health. This is very different from the families she used to serve with the elderly and children.

Shi Juan's vague answer made Ma Jiayi interrupt.

"I said it, you can go back after cleaning, you don't have to tell me again."

Ma Jiayi didn't seem to listen to Shi Juan's answer at all.

"Okay, I got it." Shi Juan didn't explain again, agreed a word, and left.

The figure on frosted glass vanished.

Ma Jiayi exhaled heavily and lay back in the bath.

The massage water pounded her muscles, allowing her tense muscles to relax.

She's been under too much stress lately, and she's nervous...... It's like this every year, she is in a bad mood and her body is uncomfortable.

The massage water soothed her anxiety a little, and the gentle aroma of the water soothed her expression.

There was another sound of movement at the bathroom door.

Ma Jiayi opened her eyes a little sullenly and looked at the whole side of frosted glass.

This Shi Juan does a good job and seems to have a good personality, but she talks too much. I don't know where Shi Juan got so many words. Either ask her questions or sell her your services.

If this continues, she will have to find a cleaning and cooking aunt again.

As soon as Ma Jiayi wanted to open her mouth to scold, she saw the figure on the frosted glass clearly.

The slender, slender body extends upwards little by little, like a slender woman walking step by step to the bathroom.

She had long, waist-hanging hair that swayed gently with her approaching figure.

Ma Jiayi was stunned, and she didn't feel her stiff neck until the other party almost stuck to the frosted glass, leaving an inky black shadow on it.

She was tilting her head at the moment, looking at the figure of the other party against the door frame. The figure standing in the sky was two meters tall, but the width was only one-third of that of the frosted glass, and the whole person was deformed.

That's definitely not Shi Juan.

Ma Jiayi shivered, only to feel that the water temperature had dropped to freezing, and the water on her body was like a sharp blade, piercing her skin.

She was too frightened to speak, just staring at the figure.

The weirdo outside seemed to be leaning against the frosted glass, trying to see out what was going on in the bathroom.

After a few moments, it took a few steps back, and its figure slowly shrunk.

The misshapen shadow faded and became normal.

Ma Jiayi thought about the process of adjusting the size of the object on it when she modified the photo.

The slender and beautiful figure falls in the middle of the frosted glass.

obviously couldn't see the facial features on the other party's face, but Ma Jiayi felt that the person outside the door smiled at her.

Goosebumps popped up all over her body.

The figure did not retreat again, but disappeared like a speck of ink falling into the water.

Ma Jiayi's teeth began to tremble at this time, making a gentle collision sound.

She crept up from the bath, grabbed the tiles, and stepped out of the bath.

The slight sound of water made her nerves tense.

She thought of what Shi Juan had just said at the door.

The answer she hadn't heard before was echoing in her mind.

Shi Juan came to inspect the situation only when she heard her voice.

In the meantime, the figure she saw on the frosted glass when she opened her eyes was not Shi Juan at all!

The shadow she saw for the first time was not the elongated, grotesque woman, but a ......

A child lying on the door panel like a spider!

Ma Jiayi thought about this clearly, and her body shook.

What exactly are those two things?

Ma Jiayi thought fearfully, and then thought of the woman in the white dress she saw on the balcony that day.

The woman in the white dress was also so thin, so thin that she would fly when the wind blew.

It wasn't her delusion, she was afraid she had actually seen something......

Ma Jiayi was even more frightened, hurriedly put on her bathrobe, and walked quickly to the door without bothering to wipe the water on her body.

She gripped the doorknob and slowly twisted it open.

It was quiet outside, there was no sound, and there was not a single figure.

Ma Jiayi opened the door and went out, but she didn't see Shi Juan's figure, nor did she see the strange woman or child again.

She sighed.

"Miss Ma......"

"Ahh

"You...... You! You can't walk silently! Ma Jiayi said angrily.

"I ......" Shi Juan looked down at the slippers on her feet and the soft carpet on the ground.

She wanted to walk and make a sound, but she had to stomp her feet to walk.

"You're not gone yet?" Ma Jiayi asked.

"I was just about to leave when I heard the bathroom door open...... Does the bathroom need to be cleaned up? Shi Juan said very actively, and looked down at the water stains left by Ma Jiayi along the way.

Ma Jiayi looked at Shi Juan, "You just saw anything in the room?" ”

Shi Juan looked back at Ma Jiayi in confusion, "What do you see?" ”

Ma Jiayi lowered her eyes and held her forehead.

"Miss Ma, I remember that your period was delayed, right?" Shi Juan suddenly said, "Are you not feeling well?" ”

In order to cook for Ma Jiayi, she asked her eating habits and menstrual cycle, and also asked her disease history and health status, and formulated a recipe for Ma Jiayi in a very professional posture, which reflected the value of her dietitian certificate as soon as it came up, as if to prove that she was worth the money at a higher price than the first two cooking aunts.

Ma Jiayi didn't hide it when she answered, and there was nothing to hide, so she handed over the recipes that she had taught her to Shi Juan by the way. Shi Juan also explained to her why there was a difference between the recipes prescribed by the fitness coach and the recipes prescribed by her. Ma Jiayi didn't care much about this.

"It's postponed." Ma Jiayi still doesn't care at this time, "I do this every year at this time." ”

"Oh." Shi Juan didn't ask in detail, "Then the meals I have prepared in the past few days will be lighter." ”

Ma Jiayi nodded, "Okay, you go clean up." ”

After saying a few words, Ma Jiayi's mood has calmed down again.

When Shi Juan cleaned up the bathroom and was about to say goodbye and leave, Ma Jiayi stopped her.

Ma Jiayi hesitated for a while, "You have slept in the guest room for the past two days." I have something to call you at any time at night. ”

Shi Juan was stunned, "...... like this"

"I'll add money. I know you're still doing it at another one, and you're back there. Do this first until the New Year. How much money will be prescribed to you over there, I will make up for it here. Ma Jiayi said categorically.

"Okay." When Shi Juan heard this, she agreed.
