Renan, Hai'an.
The Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast.
"This is your room. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me. I am a native of Renan. Whether you want to know where there is fun or delicious food nearby, just state your requirements clearly and I will recommend you to your satisfaction." "
Gao Qiang smiled and said to the two guests who had just checked in.
The two people in front of me were the lively and cheerful one named Li Shiqi, and the weak one named Lu Yuexue.
When registering just now, he looked at their ID cards and secretly wrote down their names. When I was riding in the elevator, I asked about him. He was a college student who was traveling during the summer vacation.
They walked south from the school in the provincial capital, staying in each city for a few days. They planned to cross the sea to Qiongzhou and go all the way to Lucheng, then fly back to the school.
Compared to Li Shiqi, who has a nice smile, Lu Yuexue, who is fair and thin, attracts more attention from the powerful.
This kind of girl can easily inspire men's protective desire.
If he is not pretending on purpose, it means he is really ignorant of the world and has a fragile heart. As long as you show your strong side in front of her and give her a broad and warm embrace, you can fool her with just a few words.
Li Shiqi also noticed that this artistic-looking B&B owner mostly focused on his friends, but said nothing.
Because she knew that Lu Yuexue didn't care about this at all.
It’s okay if the other party knows what’s appropriate, but if he takes the initiative to come over…
Then do it at your own risk.
Being a roommate for three years and being a fellow countryman was enough for her to get a glimpse of some of the little secrets of her withdrawn friend.
It will definitely subvert normal people’s cognition!
He immediately smiled and said: "Thank you boss, I will do it if necessary."
After speaking, he waved his hand and closed the door.
Gao Qiang hit a soft nail and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
But it doesn't matter. After all, they met for the first time and they will stay here for three more days, so there are plenty of opportunities.
…
Li Shiqi and Lu Yuexue were resting in the room.
I played on my phone, watched TV shows, etc., until lunch time, when I felt hungry, I went out to look for food.
When Gao Qiang saw them appearing, his eyes lit up: "Are you two going out?"
"Yes, it's already five o'clock. We're going to find a place to finish our meal." Li Shiqi said with a smile.
Lu Yuexue only glanced lightly and then looked away without any intention of communicating.
It's too early to have dinner at five o'clock.
Gao Qiang groaned in his heart and smiled on his face: "Next to the car inspection station, there is a restaurant with delicious food. If you don't mind, I can take you there. I happen to be a little hungry too."
Li Shiqi waved her hand and refused: "No, we can just eat nearby. The old Bald Restaurant in front of us. I read reviews that the seafood porridge is good, and the mutton and beef are also good."
Before he could say anything, he pulled Lu Yuexue out.
Gao Qiang secretly nodded and shook his head.
She doesn't like to take advantage of others and is a good girl.
It's a pity that the little girl named Lu was too afraid of life. She kept silent and didn't give him a chance at all, which made him helpless.
His patience was limited. If the other party still didn't respond, then he would have to consider Li Shiqi. Fortunately, she didn't look bad.
…
After just a few games of King's Kung Fu, Li Shiqi and Lu Yuexue came back again.
When asked why she didn't go shopping more, Li Shiqi said she was too tired today and it was already dark, so she would see the situation tomorrow.
Gao Qiang looked at the clock on the wall in surprise. It was clearly not seven o'clock.
Is this also called Tianhei?
Cities in the south, even small counties, have a rich nightlife. Late-night snack bars and food stalls often close at two or three o'clock.
Maybe it's because of different personal habits.
Gao Qiang didn't think much about it: "In that case, let's have a good rest."
As for himself, he stayed at the front desk and waited until another employee came to work the night shift at 10 o'clock before going to bed.
Gao Qiang's room was on the second floor, and Lu Yuexue and the others happened to be upstairs.
As a result, not long after I closed my eyes, I had a nightmare.
He dreamed that he appeared on a gloomy mountain trail, and there was a hanging figure on the tree next to him. He suddenly turned his head and looked at him. Under his disheveled hair, a pair of eyes glowed red.
Gao Qiang woke up with an "ah" sound.
Panting heavily, his forehead was covered with sweat.
Xin Youyuji: "It turns out to be a dream..."
But this dream is too real.
That look of hanging to death seemed to be engraved in my mind and could not be shaken off. So much so that he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to, so he could only turn on the light and watch short videos until dawn.
…
Go downstairs for breakfast in the morning,
Seeing Gao Qiang with heavy dark circles under his eyes, Li Shiqi was surprised: "Boss, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Gao Qiang yawned: "Yes, I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep when I woke up. I guess I'll have to catch up on some sleep later."
Lu Yuexue, who was standing behind, heard this and took a step back silently.
Gao Qiang: "..."
Your small actions can cause so much harm.
He didn't know that Lu Yuexue had actually dreamed of the same country road and hanging mantra last night, and this was not the first time she had encountered this situation.
She has been like this since she was a child, and besides herself, the content of dreams may also affect people around her, so she is used to keeping a distance from others.
As for Li Shiqi...
She has a Maitreya jade pendant given to her by her family, so she will not be affected.
I finally managed to hold on until noon.
Gao Qiang said hello to the store employees and prepared to go back to his room to catch up on his sleep.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he fell asleep, he would appear in that dream again, and this time the hanging man seemed to be closer to him.
Naturally, I was frightened and woke up again, sweating profusely.
The more Gao Qiang thought about it, the more abnormal he felt, "Damn it, is there something wrong with this? How come this dream looks like a TV series?"
So he called a relative of his: "Uncle Bing, this is Aqiang. I have something to ask..."
This relative of his is the temple priest of the nearby Shengniang Temple and has some knowledge of metaphysics. Usually, if everyone encounters similar things that cannot be solved scientifically, they will ask him for help.
For example, children lose their souls, adults commit evil acts, etc.
Gao Wenbing, who was on the other end of the phone, was surprised when he heard this, and then said seriously: "I'll go over now."
Shengniang Temple is not far from here, less than two kilometers.
As soon as Gao Wenbing arrived at the store, Gao Qiang quickly invited him in.
Just looking at the surface, Gao Wenbing didn't find anything unusual. It wasn't possession, and there were no strange things in the B&B.
After listening to Gao Qiang's narration, he frowned slightly: "It's most likely a dream demon. Have you been to any unclean places recently?"
"No, I basically stayed in the store all day."
"That's weird."
It stands to reason that these kind of more ferocious dream monsters are all produced under special circumstances. How could they appear in Gao Qiang for no reason?
Is it really just bad luck that the other party passed by?
"I'll stay here one night and help you take a look."
Gao Wenbing said.
Gao Qiang naturally agreed happily and arranged a twin room.
…
night.
After Gao Qiang goes to sleep.
Gao Wenbing was waiting on the chair next to him, closing his eyes and concentrating. Suddenly he felt a fierce aura sweep over him, and his hair stood on end.
Gao Qiang's expression was horrified, and fine sweat was forming on his forehead.
"What a vicious trick!"
Gao Wenbing's face changed, and he yelled angrily: "The Supreme Lord taught me how to kill ghosts, and I will teach you how to kill ghosts. Call the jade girl to collect the ominous photos... Kill the evil ghosts first, and then kill the night light. How can a god not subjugate himself, and how can a ghost dare to act like one? ?Hurry like a law!"
He grabbed the ghost torture stick next to him and hit Gao Qiang.
at the same time.
The room where Lu Yuexue was was also having a nightmare. While frowning, he held a small wooden sword in his hand.
The scene in her dream was different from Gao Qiang's.
Although it was still the same mountain path, what appeared was not a hanging man but a big bloated head, following her all the time.
If Lu Yuexue didn't look back for a little while, her big swollen head would get closer. If you stare at it, it will move further away.
Lu Yuexue bit her teeth lightly, and when the big head was approaching, she slashed it with the dagger in her hand.
The big head screamed and disappeared.
But she knew this was only temporary. It will definitely appear again in the future.
In situations like Lu Yuexue's, there is a popular belief that people's horoscopes are too light and they are prone to encounter all kinds of unclean things.
This is also true.
Lu Yuexue's destiny was not serious enough. Ever since she was a child, she had been entangled with unclean things. Things like lying on the bed and blindfolding her eyes were all childish. Like this, in the dream, a person suddenly walks alone at night, and various strange things appear on the roadside from time to time, which is more dangerous.
In addition to the big head, there are many others, such as a hand that can extend, such as red shoes that can dance by themselves, such as a fat woman with no facial features, such as red eyes hidden in the dark...
She doesn't dare to go out at night, walks alone at night, and doesn't dare to be alone. These seemingly normal situations for ordinary people are full of dangers for her.
It can be said that it is really not easy to survive to this day.
When this situation first appeared, her family thought she was hallucinating, hysterical or schizophrenic. However, when her family members began to encounter it, they finally realized that the matter was not simple, so they went everywhere to seek advice from experts.
Later, her father found a well-known mage. The Master Fa suggested that you could try inviting a Zhong Kui back and place it at the entrance, pointing at the door.
Strangely enough, Zhong Kui did feel stable for a long time after he came back.
However, this situation started to happen again after she went to college and studied abroad.
By chance, she bought this small wooden sword at a second-hand market stall. She found that as long as she carried this sword with her, she would touch less things.
Even if you encounter those strange things in your dream, you won't be afraid of them even if you have a mahogany sword.
On the contrary, if the sword is far away, it is easy to provoke those things.
Therefore, I often sleep with my sword never leaving my body.
