Lu Wenming originally wanted to use golden light to awaken Zhao Qingxue's clarity and help her wake up from her dream.
But when I cast a spell for the first time, I felt the mana pouring out of my fingertips and into the center of Zhao Qingxue's eyebrows, and my mind poured into it unintentionally. In a daze, when I regained consciousness, I was already on an unfamiliar road.
There are fields and the sound of crickets can be heard.
Everything seemed quiet and natural. There were old people enjoying the cool air on the river bank in the distance. Lu Wenming only felt that this was a pleasant modern countryside and did not feel anything spooky.
By the street lamp and moonlight, I walked forward thoughtfully.
It wasn't until he saw an old woman burning paper at a crossroads that Lu Wenming thought that he might encounter a supernatural event. After all, burning paper at crossroads was in the hope of the intersection of yin and yang, so that ghosts could help bring money, or in the hope that the deceased would be able to Receive paper money.
Of course, he didn't pay much attention to this.
After all, it is part of the folk custom, but after seeing a little girl with a frightened face, and that little girl looked similar to Zhao Qingxue, I realized that things were not that simple.
"Hey, old lady, it's not good to scare people by burning paper in the middle of the night."
After he warned her, he smiled at the frightened little girl who looked up to check. He subconsciously reached out and touched her head and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"Ah, um..."
I don't know why, but I feel like he smells like sunshine, which is reassuring.
The old woman slowly moved over and asked: "Little girl from the Zhao family, why did you run out alone in the middle of the night? Go back quickly, your grandma will be worried."
"Grandma? I'm here to find dad..."
She was suddenly startled, no, her parents were not here. She and her brother were just left with grandma to take care of her during the summer vacation.
Why did I come outside in the middle of the night?
"Go back quickly."
The old woman waved her hand, then 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 unfamiliar elder brother, and ran away. Lu Wenming stayed there and thought about it for a while, and then asked the old woman: "Old woman, what year is this year?" ?”
"The Year of Geng Yin."
The old woman answered, and Lu Wenming understood that this was twelve years ago.
It seems that it is Zhao Qingxue.
"Will this horrible story end so easily?" He murmured, then shook his head, glanced at the direction Zhao Qingxue left, and followed slowly.
No knocking, no interruptions.
Just waiting outside Zhao's house, the low courtyard wall could see the situation inside the yard. Not long after, the door inside was suddenly opened, and the little girl ran away holding her head with a face full of fear.
Then I ran all the way to the warehouse, which was obviously darker...
"This escape route is not very good..."
With a sigh, Lu Wenming took a deep breath. Looking at the low courtyard wall, which contained no barbed wire or glass, he felt that it was not too difficult, so he sprinted up the wall.
Then it rolled into the yard.
Bang!
He pushed open the door of the warehouse, but the little girl seemed to have been frightened. She curled up and shivered. She didn't even dare to scream, and she cried with tears all over her face...
Snapped!
The weak firelight illuminated a corner of the dim warehouse, or in other words, the little girl felt a little light and heat. When she raised her head blankly, she saw his faint smile, and that one was a little red. lighter.
"If you don't raise your head, I won't be able to hold on anymore and I'll be burned to death."
He let go of the lighter and blew on his fingers.
The little girl looked at him blankly, her fear completely disappeared in her astonishment, and she even forgot about the ghost. She asked blankly: "How did you get in?"
"Climb the wall."
"ah?"
A different kind of panic appeared on the little girl's face, but he didn't care at all. He just gave her a head-turn indifferently, and then asked forcefully: "Just now, you encountered a ghost, right?"
"You... can see it?" The shock was filled with surprise, as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"I can't see it. I don't have yin and yang eyes here, but..."
"but what?"
Lu Wenming looked at the face that was only very childish compared to the future. Compared with the energetic face she looked at in Shenghai B&B, the little girl at this time looked particularly weak and helpless.
"Many shadows encountered in childhood are not actually such powerful enemies."
"Often it's just that we were still weak at that time."
"That ghost is not very powerful and can be easily dealt with."
He smiled confidently, which made the little girl trust him a little, and asked expectantly: "Really?"
"Yeah, really."
He stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, let's go out first."
"Um……"
She timidly took his hand and let him lead her out of the warehouse. Then Lu Wenming pointed to the roof garden on the second floor and said, "How many mosquitoes are there?"
"There are a lot of mugwort and patchouli planted, but there are no mosquitoes."
"Let's go sit for a while."
"Um."
He took her to the roof garden. There was a tea table and deck chairs here. It seemed that they liked to drink tea here during their leisure time. Lu Wenming made the tea himself, then let her lie down on the deck chair to rest while he Sit aside.
She watched him quietly making tea. Well, he wasn't very skilled at it.
"Who are you?"
She took the tea cup, drank it like a kitten, and asked this question curiously. He has not been seen in the village.
"I...um, am a, superhero?"
"Pfft——"
She couldn't help laughing, she just thought this man was talking nonsense, so she said in a rare coquettish way: "He is obviously a big bad guy who broke into someone else's yard in the middle of the night."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
He drank tea and looked at the starry sky, and rarely saw many stars. This feeling of enjoying the cool air on the rooftop was something he only had when he was a child at his grandma's house.
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking at my own childhood? Thinking about what it would be like if I encountered a story like yours when I was a kid."
"...You're scared too, right? That kid is so scary."
"maybe."
Lu Wenming seemed to have remembered a dream that had been buried for a long time, but he just smiled. He looked at the little girl calmly and said with a smile: "If I stay here with you tonight, are I still afraid of nightmares?"
The little girl hesitated for a while and asked, "If I were frightened and woke up, would you still be here?"
"Will do."
"Um……"
The little girl had extra trust in such a stranger, especially when she saw him picking up her grandma's cattail leaf fan and fanning her leisurely. The frightened exhaustion suddenly came over her, and she fell asleep slowly on the recliner. go.
Looking at the little girl's peaceful sleeping face, Lu Wenming smiled slightly.
However, less than two minutes later, her brows tightened again. Lu Wenming took a deep breath, pointed his sword finger at the center of her eyebrows, and chanted the golden light spell lightly as if humming a lullaby.
Soon, the little girl's brows relaxed, and the comfortable cool breeze blew through at night.
Lu Wenming sat aside and yawned, then slowly fell asleep.
In the dream, it was still the familiar room. In front of him, he saw the kid who was harassing Zhao Qingxue. The kid said fiercely: "If you dare to ruin my good deeds, I will torture you to death!"
"Yeah?"
Lu Wenming asked calmly, but did not look at him.
This strange behavior made the little ghost turn his head and look behind him in surprise. There, in the shadow of half of the room, there was a demon king, as terrifying as a diamond.
