"Yuxian, I'm back." I suddenly heard someone talking behind me.
But when I turned around, there was nothing behind me. I took a step forward, but it felt like I was falling into an endless abyss.
I woke up suddenly from the bed, sweating profusely. I turned on the desk lamp and looked at the time: 03:00.
It was very quiet outside, so quiet that it was unusual. I suddenly felt very depressed, as if I had just lost something very important.
The voice in the dream was very familiar, I seemed to have heard it somewhere. A burst of tiredness blurred my eyes, and I fell asleep again.
The next day, I felt as if I had had many different dreams one after another, but I couldn't remember them no matter how hard I tried.
"Xiaoxian, are you very tired today?" Li Wan asked with concern when she saw that I was in a bad state.
"A little bit. I had a lot of dreams last night and didn't sleep well." After saying that, I yawned a lot.
"Did you know? Yujian Road has always been haunted recently." Chang Lan said to us mysteriously.
I guess it was the woman who died in that car accident last time. But strangely, Chang Lan shook his head.
Li Wan and I both looked at her doubtfully.
"It seems to be a ghost in black clothes. It floats around there at night. It is said to have a terrifying face and a pair of very scary eyes."
I was a little confused and asked curiously: "Shouldn't he be wearing red and white clothes?"
Chang Lan shook his head, slowly moved his face between me and Li Wan, and whispered: "It is said that he is asking for his soul."
"Ding-ding-ding-" the class bell rang. Chang Lan sat back down, still unfinished.
After evening self-study, I walked alone on Yujian Road. Strangely enough, since the last time I saw the girl who died in a car accident, I haven't encountered her ghost again. Sometimes, it's really a pity. That sister seems to be a pretty good person, why is her life so short? Also, on the day of the car accident, I vaguely felt the yellow sand blowing into my eyes, which was really a bit suspended. The road is obviously so clean, but where does the sand come from? Or, was that sister already hit by a car at that time? At that time, when the sand came into my eyes, I did hear a very rapid whistle and a harsh sound of brakes.
It's scary to think about it. Did I miss something?
"I won't go back." I suddenly heard someone say coldly not far away. I looked across. I saw a familiar-looking person leaning against a telephone pole, with his head turned to the other side, as if I wasn't listening to anyone.
"Master, go back quickly. It's so cold outside now, you may catch a cold." The speaker was a middle-aged uncle. He was wearing a black suit and shiny black leather shoes.
"Let's go. The old man asked me to come out, and now he asks me to go back. What do you mean?" He turned his head and looked at the uncle in front of him with an unhappy expression.
Only then did I realize that the young man who spoke was Han Wanting.
I didn't care about what happened next, I just pretended I didn't see anything and moved on.
As I trotted home, I suddenly saw the lights on the stairs flashing.
I walked upstairs confused. When I got home, I found the house completely dark. Normally, my mother would sit on the sofa and wait for me, but why didn’t I see her today? I tiptoed into my mother's bedroom. I saw that she was sleeping soundly, and then I felt relieved and returned to my room.
As soon as I entered the bedroom door, I smelled a foul smell. I pinched my nose and looked around for the source of the smell, but found nothing.
Suddenly, there was a hand on my shoulder.
I was so scared that I almost fainted. I wanted to shout for help, but no sound came out of my mouth.
I closed my eyes, even though I knew it was no different from hiding my ears.
"You can see me, right?" A burst of cold air hit my ears.
She is the sister wearing weird clothes that I met on Yujian Road.
I could clearly feel that if I didn't answer, she might strangle me in one fell swoop.
"Yes." I answered almost tremblingly.
"That day, I was hit by a car and you were right next to me, right?"
"I don't know." I looked at her tremblingly.
Her hands were thin and pale, with long, curved fingers.
"You have to help me find someone." Her voice revealed anger and murderous intent.
I didn't speak because of hesitation and fear.
"You don't want to?" She suddenly floated in front of me, staring at me with a pair of empty, lifeless eyes. Unlike before, today, she had a frightening aura about her.
She suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed my neck violently. Those terrifying nails almost pierced my blood vessels. For a moment, the fear of death filled my heart. I was struggling to breathe.
I breathed hard and had to compromise: "What do you want me to do?"
Then she slowly let go of her hand. I calmed down and breathed in the air.
"Give this to a man named Zeng Ke. He lives in Building 7, Building 303, Xiluyuan." She said through gritted teeth.
She didn't know when there was an envelope in her hand. There was a lot of blood on the envelope. I took the letter with trepidation.
She snorted coldly and turned into a wisp of faint green smoke. Even the stench has dissipated. I was relieved, but still anxious.
The next day, I woke up from a nightmare.
I know it's not a dream. In the mirror, I saw the marks on my neck and the bloody envelope on the table.
Why am I so unlucky?
But I'm going to go it alone.
After school at noon, I hurried to the fortune-telling place. It's not very close to my home. Although I am very hungry, life is the most important thing. I even brought all my pocket money.
But as soon as I arrived at the door, I was dumbfounded. The door of the dilapidated fortune-telling hut was closed. I knocked on the door but no one answered. An enthusiastic lady who passed by saw my anxious look and said, "Are you looking for Master Du? He has recently gone to a neighboring city."
I quickly said thank you, turned around and walked to Xiluyuan.
Let me go to Xiluyuan to find a man named Zeng Ke. Xiluyuan is a well-known luxury community in our local area. The people who live in it are either rich or noble. I just need to give him the letter. The envelope also has a clear address written on it, as well as the name of the writer.
These days, very few people write letters. Why didn't she send a text message? That would be so convenient. Now I have to find it.
Xiluyuan is very big, and it took a lot of effort to find the home of this person named Zeng Ke. I knocked on the door, and it took a long time before anyone answered.
The moment I opened the door, I was almost petrified.
This man turned out to be the one who caused trouble for the master last time. However, he didn't seem to recognize me. I saw him asking impatiently: "Is something wrong?"
I replied hesitantly: "Someone asked me to give something to you." After that, I handed over the letter. When he saw the blood stains on the letter, his face suddenly became horrified. I didn't care that much, turned around and ran away.
After the evening self-study class, I started to worry again. I'm worried that she will come to me tonight.
When I passed Yujian Road, a strong wind came.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the mottled tree shadows swayed on the cold streets.
I pulled up my collar and quickened my pace.
Occasionally, I can see a few ghost figures walking aimlessly through the busy streets. Even if a car was driving towards them, they were fine.
It is said that people will go to the paradise after death, but sometimes what makes them insist on staying in the human world and wandering around?
"He didn't come." A cold voice sounded behind me.
Something is wrong, it's that female ghost! She came to me again.
"I've given him the letter." I turned around and saw her sitting on the tree. The blood stains on her clothes looked like a coquettish flower.
"He's not coming," she murmured again. Suddenly, her eyes glowed with green light. Her hair instantly became very long. And those hairs seemed to be alive, constantly squirming and growing, like a ball of disgusting worms. Before I could run, the hair was already wrapped around my neck, and it was getting tighter and tighter.
I was strangled to the point of suffocation. When my vision was blurred, I suddenly heard the sound of wind chimes.
The sound was like the sound of Sanskrit bells under the eaves of the temple.
The sound is getting closer and closer to us. Suddenly, the female ghost held her head and screamed heartbreakingly. She fell from the tree to the ground. Her hair also shrank back.
I saw a dark shadow passing before my eyes. He was wearing a hat with black gauze on his head, and I couldn't see his appearance clearly for a while. Just for a moment, I seemed to smell a fresh fragrance. It smelled exactly like the one that showed up at my house that night.
"Who are you?" asked the female ghost curled up on the ground.
"The person who takes you away." There was no warmth in his voice. There was a bronze wind chime tied around his waist, which kept making a sound.
