"After dawn this morning, the two of us came out to check on the situation, and we found nothing else, so we found this place." Ye Yuanzhou pointed to the bloody handprint and said to Du Ruo, "Look at this appearance, it is definitely not accidentally smeared, it is obviously deliberately smeared here to let us see." ”

Du Ruo was indeed a little unsteady the night before, but this unsteadiness was not due to fear of ghosts.

After a night at this time, she already had a general guess in her heart, or it was the experience of this night that verified her previous conjecture in her heart, and she was down-to-earth at this time.

Seeing the "bloody handprint", she didn't panic at all, walked up directly, leaned down slightly, approached and sniffed with her nose.

I didn't smell anything.

Or rather, she even smelled the dusty smell of the wooden latticework and the masonry, but she didn't smell anything else.

Du Ruo stretched out his hand again and rubbed his fingers on the red handprint on the window lattice, twisted his two fingers, took a closer look, and knew in his heart: "It's cinnabar, the kind of cinnabar used for painting." ”

Ye Yuanzhou was not particularly surprised, but nodded: "This person still cherishes himself, and he is reluctant to really bleed himself." ”

At this time, Ye Long also came back from the kitchen, holding the porridge and rice he had just served, Ye Yuanzhou and Du Ruo followed him back and sat down at the table.

Ye Long still insisted on his etiquette rules, even if Ye Yuanzhou and Du Ruo asked him to sit together, he still just chose to stand aside, but he refused to sit down.

He insisted so much, Ye and Du had no choice, as long as they let him.

"After last night, I now have a general understanding in my heart." Du Ruo looked at the red marks on the tips of his fingers, "If someone really wants to harm us, he will definitely surprise us, instead of deliberately pretending to be a ghost to scare us, which is tantamount to startling the snake."

Including the cinnabar handprint, I just wanted us to see it early this morning, and I was shocked.

After all, I've never seen a ghost who isn't afraid of cinnabar. ”

"What do you think we should do?" Ye Yuanzhou asked.

The spoon in Du Ruo's hand gently stirred the porridge in front of him: "Don't move, continue to wait."

Such a 'ghost' who is so cautious even if he wants to scare us away must not be the person who wants to lure us to the murderous house of the Zong family in this small Tonghe County in Yuzhou.

Therefore, the real protagonist has not yet appeared, and of course we can't retreat because of a 'ghost' in a murderous house, because we are so scared to leave quickly.

Let's go, some people's dramas won't be able to sing. ”

Ye Yuanzhou nodded: "Then you try to rest as much as possible during the day today, I'm afraid we may not be able to rest well at night." ”

Du Ruo deeply agreed with this, although she said that she guessed in her heart the night before that the other party should not have any obvious evil intentions, but after all, this kind of thing is not accurate, and her heart is inevitably nervous.

If she hadn't cared about her face at this time, she would have yawned a lot.

After breakfast, Du Ruo went back to sleep.

Ye Long stayed for half a night the day before, but he still insisted on practicing fist and foot kung fu and made lunch, and then went to sleep on top of his bed, snoring loudly.

Du Ruo slept all morning, woke up at noon, ate something, couldn't sleep in the afternoon, still reading books to kill time, Ye Yuanzhou found a chessboard, and the two of them sat in the courtyard under the sunset and played a few games of chess to relieve boredom, waiting for the night to come.

At night, the sky was as dark as before, there was no trace of wind, Ye Yuanzhou and Ye Long were meditating outside, closing their eyes and recuperating, Du Ruo was tossing and turning on the bed in the middle, maybe he slept too much during the day, but he couldn't sleep at this time, and it was uncomfortable to lie down, so he simply got up, sat down not far from the window, and waited for the "ghost".

I don't know how long it took, so long that Du Ruo couldn't help but head little by little because she was bored, and she dozed off, and finally there was movement outside the window, which successfully woke her up.

By this moment, the moon had risen very high, and the moonlight was shining down, diluting the original inky black.

I don't know when I was outside the window, there was an extra "ghost", this time it was not scratching the window lattice, a "ghost" was cast on the window paper by the moonlight, and it was really easy to surprise people at first glance.

However, with the experience of the previous day, Du Ruo was much calmer at this time, watching the ghost dangling outside the window with great interest, and deliberately knocked on the window lattice to make a little noise, as if he was afraid that the people in the house would not find out.

Du Ruo knocked for a long time, and felt that the "ghost" was also tired, so he suddenly sighed.

When she made this sound, it is estimated that the "ghost" outside the window did not expect it, and she was taken aback, and the shadow on the window paper trembled obviously.

Du Ruo almost laughed, but she still tried to hold back, sighed heavily, and sighed in a small voice: "How is this good!"

I think I have studied hard for so many years, and I don't dare to say that my head is hanging from the beam, and I am also diligent, reading the books of sages and sages, and determined to achieve something!

Finally, I was admitted to Tanhua and sealed the official, and I just helped the local people solve a few unjust cases, asking myself if I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and it is also the 'blue sky' in the mouth of the people, why is it that now I am inexplicably wronged by ghosts to ask for my life?

I said, "Ghost brother, ghost brother, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is injustice, there is a debtor, whose sin is it, who should you go to!"

We are passing through here, and we are helpless, if it bothers you, please bear with me, you really have no reason to transfer your resentment to us. ”

The "ghost" outside the window did not move, and seemed to be standing there, listening to Du Ruo.

Du Ruo's eyes stared at the shadow on the window paper, and continued: "I've never seen the wrongs of the people, nor can I see the treacherous people go unpunished, but it's a pity that you are a ghost, not a human.

If you are a human being, if you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will find a way to help you wash away your grievances and return your innocence and justice.

But what the hell is about...... I can't help anymore! ”

With that, she sighed heavily.

The "ghost" outside the window was motionless, and after a long time, the shadow flickered, and disappeared with a rustling sound.

Du Ruo sat there for a while, and there was no shadow or movement, then she got up and went back to the bed, and fell asleep after lying down for a while.

I slept until dawn, and the "ghost" never came again in the middle of the night.
