21. Superheroes
Lu Wenming originally wanted to use golden light to evoke Zhao Qingxue's clarity to help her wake up from her dream.
But the first time he cast a spell, he felt the mana gushing out of his fingertips and poured into Zhao Qingxue's eyebrows, and his mind was poured away unintentionally, and in a trance, when he regained consciousness, he had already arrived on an unfamiliar road.
There are fields, and the sound of crickets can be heard.
It seems that everything is quiet and natural, with the river in the distance, and the old people enjoying the coolness, Lu Wenming only feels that this is a comfortable modern village, and does not feel that there is anything eerie and terrifying.
With the help of street lamps and moonlight, I walked forward thoughtfully.
It wasn't until a crossroads that he saw an old woman burning paper, and Lu Wenming felt that he might encounter a supernatural event, after all, burning paper at the intersection was to hope that Yin and Yang would converge, and let the ghost send him help bring the money, or hope that the deceased would receive the paper money.
Of course, he didn't pay much attention to this.
After all, it is also part of folk customs, but after seeing a little girl with a frightened face, and then that little girl is a little similar to Zhao Qingxue, I understand that things are not so simple.
"Hey, old woman, it's not good to burn paper in the middle of the night and scare people."
After he reminded him, he smiled at the little girl who looked up in horror, subconsciously reached out and touched her head, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." โ
"Ahh......h
I don't know why, but I feel that he has a sun-like smell on his body, which is reassuring.
After the old woman moved over slowly, she asked, "The little girl of the Zhao family, why did she run out alone in the middle of the night?" Go back, your grandma will be worried. โ
"Grandma? I'm here to find my dad......"
She was stunned suddenly, no, her parents are not here, she and her younger brother were just taken care of by grandma during the summer vacation.
In the middle of the night, how could I run outside?
"Let's go back quickly."
The old woman waved her hand, and slowly moved back, looking at the burning pile of paper in a daze.
"I, I'm going back."
The little girl took two steps back, bowed to the strange big brother, and ran away, while Lu Wenming stayed there and thought for a while, and then asked the old woman, "Old woman, what year is this year?" โ
"Geng Yin year."
The old woman replied, and Lu Wenming understood that this was twelve years ago.
In this way, it is Zhao Qingxue.
"Horror story, will it end so easily?" He muttered, then shook his head, glanced at the direction Zhao Qingxue left, and slowly followed.
No knocking, no interruption.
Just waiting outside Zhao's house, the low courtyard wall could see the situation inside the courtyard, and it didn't take long for the door inside to be slammed open, and the little girl ran away with her head on her face full of horror.
Then he ran all the way to the obviously darker warehouse......
"This is not a good escape route......"
With a sigh of emotion, Lu Wenming took a deep breath, looked at the low courtyard wall, and there was no barbed wire and glass or anything, and felt that the difficulty was not high, so he sprinted and climbed the wall.
Then turned into the yard.
Boom!
He slammed open the door of the warehouse, but the little girl seemed to be frightened by the ultimate fright, curled up, trembling, not daring to scream, crying so much that her face was full of tears......
Syllable!
The dim light of the fire illuminated the dim corner of the warehouse, or rather, made the little girl feel a little light and heat, and when she looked up in a daze, she saw his faint smile, and the lighter, which was a little red.
"If you don't look up, I can't hold on, I'll burn to death."
He let go of the lighter and blew on his fingers.
The little girl looked at him blankly, her fear disappeared completely in astonishment, and she even forgot about the ghost, and she asked blankly, "How did you get in?" โ
"Over the wall."
"Huh?"
A different panic rose on the little girl's face, but he didn't care at all, he just indifferently gave her a brain breakdown, and then asked strongly: "Fang Cai, you met a ghost, right?" โ
"You...... Can you see it? The astonishment was full of surprises, and it seemed that a life-saving straw had been found.
"I can't see, I don't have yin and yang eyes here, but ......"
"But what?"
Lu Wenming looked at the face that was only very immature compared to the future, compared to the radiant she looked at in the Shenghai B&B, the little girl at this time looked extremely weak and helpless.
"A lot of the shadows I encountered in my childhood are not really powerful enemies."
"It's often just that at that time, we're still very weak."
"That ghost isn't great, it's easy to solve."
He smiled confidently, which made the little girl trust him a little, and asked expectantly, "Really?" โ
"yes, really."
He stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, let's go out first." โ
"Hmmm......"
She timidly took his hand and let him lead her out of the warehouse, and then Lu Wenming pointed to the roof garden on the second floor and said, "How many mosquitoes are over there?" โ
"There are a lot of wormwoods and herbs, and there are no mosquitoes."
"Let's go sit down for a while."
"Hmm."
Pull her to the roof garden, there is a tea table, there are deck chairs, it seems that they usually like to drink tea here when they are leisure, Lu Wenming made tea by himself, and then let her lie on the deck chair to rest, and he sat aside.
She quietly watched him make tea, well, not very skillful.
"Who are you?"
She took the teacup, drank it like a kitten, and asked the question curiously. In the village, he was not seen.
"Me...... Well, is it, a superhero? โ
"Poofโ"
She couldn't help laughing, she just felt that this person was talking nonsense, and said coquettishly: "It's obviously a big villain who turned into someone else's yard in the middle of the night." โ
"Yes yes yes ......"
He drank tea, looked at the starry sky, and saw many stars rarely, this kind of cooling on the rooftop was still a feeling when he was a child at his grandmother's house.
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking at my own childhood? Thinking about what would have happened if I had been a kid and had come across a story like yours. โ
โโฆโฆ You're scared, right? That little ghost, it's terrifying. โ
"Perhaps."
Lu Wenming seemed to remember a dream that had been sealed for a long time, but he only smiled, he looked at the little girl calmly and smiled: "If I am here with you tonight, are you still afraid of nightmares?" โ
The little girl hesitated for a moment and asked, "If I was scared awake, would you still be here?" โ
"Yes."
"Hmmm......"
The little girl had a special trust in such a stranger, especially when she watched him pick up her grandmother's fan and fan the wind for her, so that the frightened exhaustion suddenly came up and fell asleep slowly on the chaise longue.
Looking at the little girl's peaceful sleeping face, Lu Wenming smiled slightly.
However, within two minutes, her brows frowned again, and Lu Wenming took a deep breath, pointed his sword at the center of her eyebrows, and recited the golden light mantra lightly as if humming a lullaby.
Soon, the little girl's brow stretched, and a comfortable cool breeze blew through the night.
Lu Wenming sat aside and yawned, and then slowly fell asleep.
In the dream, it was still the room that was once extremely familiar, in front of him, he saw the little ghost who attacked Zhao Qingxue, and the little ghost said fiercely: "You dare to spoil my good deeds, I will torture you to death!" โ
"Really?"
Lu Wenming asked calmly, but didn't look at him.
This strange behavior made the little ghost turn his head to look behind him in surprise, where, in the shadow of half of the room, there was a demon king, as terrifying as King Kong.
