I grabbed her arm and quickly apologized to the old lady: "I've offended you so much, don't be offended."
After saying that, I put the burning paper I had prepared in advance from my bag on the ground and bowed respectfully.
After doing all this, I took her and left.
"Are you too nervous?" Xia Min broke away from my hand and muttered: "It's so weird and scary."
Seeing that she was about to turn around, I pressed her neck and whispered, "Have you ever seen someone burning paper in the middle of the road?"
As soon as I let go of my hand, Xia Min suddenly turned back.
At this glance, he was in trouble!
On the street in the autumn breeze, the old lady still squatted in the middle of the road and burned paper. The unburned paper ashes were like butterflies from hell, fluttering over her gray head.
And her hand, which was as dry as tree bark, suddenly had two photos.
Photos of Xia Min and me.
The moment I turned around, I met her eyes.
The face that looked like a rotten apricot suddenly smiled, and the gray-white teeth popped out, and the yellow-brown spots were densely gathered together.
Xia Min looked at the old lady blankly as if her soul had been taken away.
Apparently, we were hooked.
"Stop looking and let's go!"
I grabbed Xia Min with one hand and shook her hard, and then she regained consciousness.
When she turned her head, she had not yet calmed down, her eyes were still staring straight.
"Is that my photo she's holding in her hand?"
I quickened my pace and muttered, "I told you not to look back, but you have to look back."
"Then I'm not curious."
I took a deep breath and couldn't help comforting myself: I can't escape what is coming, it's all God's will.
However, there are some things that I know very well.
Being able to see ghosts with the naked eye can only happen in three situations. Either it's like Ah Chen, who can see it naturally; or the ghost has something to ask for and shows up deliberately.
But according to my experience, seeing ghosts is often caused by the third situation - too low yang energy and weak body.
This is why when people are dying, they will see enemies and creditors coming to pick them up.
If this continues, it is not impossible that Mr. Xia Min will fall seriously ill, and then his fortune will be sluggish, and he will suffer misfortune.
Logically speaking, in her current situation, she should not go out after noon.
But she chose such a death-defying profession.
We are neither relatives nor friends, and I have no ability to persuade her. The only thing I can do is to protect her safety as much as possible.
When she arrived at the night market, she kept looking back, with an unspeakable color in her eyes.
I couldn't help but be curious: "Are you afraid that she will follow you?"
"No, I'm just curious whether she will come."
I was slightly startled and asked tentatively: "What makes me think that you are still looking forward to her coming?"
"That's it."
I looked at the barbecue stall next to me and sat down on it.
It's not that the barbecue is so delicious, the main thing is that this place is quite popular, and the most important thing is that you can still be next to the fire.
As soon as I started to do it, the plastic stool trembled slightly and the legs immediately cracked.
If I hadn't reacted faster, I would have fallen on the person sitting behind me by now.
The elder brother behind me looked at me with a naive smile: "Be careful."
Soon, the boss replaced a new stool, and barbecues were served one after another.
I rubbed my palms together and asked softly, "Can I drink?"
"I can drink a little."
I nodded and asked the boss for a bottle of strong liquor.
Xia Min put the bottle in front of her eyes and exclaimed: "52 degrees?"
"Too low?"
"I'm too tall! It's too hot!"
I unscrewed the bottle and poured half a glass for her: "I don't know what your drinking capacity is, so you should control it yourself."
"Boss, bring me some garlic!"
Xia Min looked at the white wine and garlic on the table
, said in horror: "Brother, I am a girl after all."
"You can eat as much as you want. It's for you to replenish your yang energy."
Upon hearing this, Xia Min stopped talking, picked up the wine glass and drank half of it.
"ha."
Xia Min's face suddenly turned red: "Hey? Aren't you going to drink?"
"Which security guard have you seen drinking?"
Seeing that most of the liquor was gone, Xia Min said, "No, I can't drink any more."
At this time, the smell of wine and garlic were mixed together, and the smell was too overpowering.
"Let's go, I'll pay."
After saying that, Xia Min got up and went to the bar first.
The moment I stood up, I accidentally glanced back. When did the people behind me turn into a table of old men?
When I turned around, my eyes met theirs.
Um?
When I came just now, the stool was unstable and I almost fell. The big brother behind me caught me.
Xia Min and I didn't eat here for more than half an hour, and no other guests came.
I was just a little confused, but didn't take it to heart.
But when I packed my things, Xia Min didn't come back.
I quickly picked up my backpack and walked to the front desk in a few steps: "Brother, where is the little girl who just checked out?"
The boss wiped his sweat and turned to look at me: "Payment? No one is paying the bill?"
