After I finished telling the master about my encounter with the female ghost last night, I asked helplessly and hopefully: "Master, what should I do?"
The master opposite didn't speak, just picked up the tea cup and took a few sips.
Finally, under my expectant gaze, he replied: "Go and help her. Everyone has a debt of injustice. What is supposed to come will come."
"But why do they ask me to intervene in their unjust debt?" I sighed helplessly.
"Maybe you owed them something in your previous life." The master gave me a meaningful look.
Speechless.
"By the way, Master, what is the man who caused trouble for you last time trying to suppress? Is it the female ghost?" I asked on a whim.
Suddenly, the master stood up and his tone became more serious: "It's not good for you to know so much."
If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have asked. After I said goodbye to him, I walked out of the house dejectedly. I walked out of the alley and went directly to Xiluyuan.
"Is anyone home?" I knocked gently on the door.
But no one responded for a long time. Just when I was about to turn around and leave in frustration, I heard the door open. I turned around in surprise and saw Zeng Ke's head slightly poking out from behind the door.
He looked at me first, then he opened the door in surprise and asked emotionally: "It's you! What happened to the letter last time? Why is it in your hand?"
"Jiang Yue asked me to give you a letter. She asked you to go to Yujian Road."
He calmed down and said unusually calmly: "I'm still here. This time, I will go."
To my surprise, he agreed directly. But I still read a hint of guilt and uneasiness in his calm tone.
night.
The wind blew gently across my face, and even the bright moonlight became no longer cold.
Since Zeng Ke said he would come, Jiang Yue would not pester me anymore. I couldn't help humming the tune and walked home happily.
"Are you happy today? However, the song you hum is really ugly." Han Wanting's mocking voice suddenly sounded from behind.
I immediately turned my head and looked at him angrily. But his beautiful eyes were so captivating that my heart was pounding. The anger in his heart gradually extinguished. I turned my head away in embarrassment and walked forward as if nothing had happened.
"Can you see ghosts?"
I was stunned for a moment. How does this guy know?
"Don't ask me how I know. Because, I am a ghost..." Han Wanting drawled, standing on tiptoes and dangling in front of me.
I rolled my eyes wide.
"Isn't it boring? Don't block me, I want to go home." I walked around him directly, feeling that this person was mentally ill, and he was quite ill.
"Wait a minute. I have something to ask you." His tone finally became normal.
But I thought he was joking again and ignored him.
"Last time I asked you to send the letter to Xiang Zhichuan, but you didn't seem to help me deliver it." He tilted his head, folded his hands around his chest, and looked at me expressionlessly.
I stopped and looked at him in surprise: "No way, I asked Li Wan to give it to him."
"Huh? Li Wan?"
I can't say that I asked Li Wan to deliver the letter because I wanted to bring Li Wan and Xiang Zhichuan together, right? So I lied: "Yes, I was busy at the time and didn't have time to give it to him, so I had to ask Li Wan to hand it over to me."
"Oh? Then do you know what Xiang Zhichuan received?" Han Wanting gave me a meaningful look.
I looked at him helplessly: "How do I know?"
"A love letter."
My eyes widened in surprise.
How can it be? How could Li Wan write a love letter to Xiang Zhichuan? Besides, did Li Wan give the letter to Xiang Zhichuan in front of me?
"Are you mistaken? Could it be that it was a love letter written by yourself?" I looked at him in disbelief.
Han Wanting brought his face close to me and looked at me dumbfounded: "Am I that boring?"
"have."
We gave each other an unyielding glare before giving up.
"Anyway, that letter is very important to me. Ask Li Wan to see if it is with her. I will come to you again tomorrow night." After Han Wanting finished speaking, he put his hands in his pockets and turned around arrogantly. He got up and left.
One wave comes after another.
As a child, I just wanted to be quiet in a corner for a while.
The next day.
"Li Wan, can I ask you something?" I tentatively touched Li Wan's arm.
She looked at me with strange eyes: "Okay, but why do I feel that you are so cautious today?"
"Haha, no. I just want to ask, did you give him the letter I asked you to deliver to Xiang Zhichuan last time?" I
"Give it."
"Did you suddenly take the wrong one? For example, you gave him a love letter by mistake?" I asked bravely.
"Love letter? No. I gave the letter you gave me last time directly to him. I got it right."
Looking at Li Wan's sincere and innocent look, I felt that it was impossible for her to lie to me.
"Why are you asking this?" Li Wan asked me curiously.
I smiled awkwardly and said nonchalantly, "Nothing. I just have some free time and asked out of boredom."
At night, Han Wanting really came to see me. But this time it was at the door of the classroom.
He was wearing a beige windbreaker and looked like a quiet and handsome man. But only I know how venomous and deserving of a beating he really is.
Before he could speak, I said, "I asked Li Wan. She said she gave your letter directly to Xiang Zhichuan."
"That's strange." He frowned slightly, his beautiful eyes full of doubts.
Because get out of class is over now, there are many classmates passing by us. He and I chatted for a few more words and then went back to work. I also found out that he was a student in Class 7 across the corridor, and he transferred from the same school as Xiang Zhichuan.
As soon as I returned to the classroom, the atmosphere became inexplicably awkward. I always feel like there are a few people pointing fingers at me. As soon as I sat down in my seat, I heard Chang Lan gossiping: "Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian, you are incredible! When did you have an affair with that Han Wanting?"
I replied angrily: "Bah! Who is having an affair with him? I still despise that kind of person. He has a vicious tongue and is arrogant."
"Hey, did he make you angry?"
"I get angry when I see him."
"I heard that the Han family is very powerful in our area. You are really lucky to be able to date him."
I was a little angry: "I want to clarify one thing. He came to me because he had something to ask me. He and I are not together now, and we will never be together in the future."
Li Wan seemed to have remembered something and asked me, "Did he ask you to ask me about delivering the letter?"
I nodded.
Li Wan didn't speak, just sat quietly in his seat.
I seemed to inadvertently see Xiang Zhichuan look back at us. But Li Wan always kept her head down. Although Xiang Zhichuan's eyes stayed on her for just a few seconds, I felt that there seemed to be a lot of things in his eyes.
After evening self-study, I asked the math teacher questions in the office, so I didn’t go home very late. While walking on Yujian Road, I felt a chill behind me. It's like someone blowing the air conditioner behind me. I shivered and slowly turned my head in fear. When I saw there was nothing behind me, I thought it would be better to leave early. So I fled as fast as I could. After I calmed down a little, I realized that the wind chime in my hand had never sounded at all. It seems that there was nothing wrong just now, it was just that I was too nervous.
I thought it would be safe when I got home. But as soon as I opened the door, I almost vomited from the smell of blood. I held my nose and held the wall to touch the light switch. Just as he was about to turn on the light, he touched a ball of wet, sticky liquid. I suppressed my nausea and pressed the switch. Suddenly, the shadows of two people were reflected on the wall in the bright living room.
My legs collapsed in shock and I sat down on the ground.
Standing opposite me was a monster covered in blood and flesh. His face was covered in blood and I couldn't see clearly what he looked like. Just when I thought he was going to lean in and attack me, he suddenly made some strange noises. In my panic, I felt that the voice was very familiar, so I boldly asked, "Are you Zeng Ke?"
He nodded excitedly and shouted, "Help me!"
"What happened?" I looked at him confused.
"Something is trying to harm me, please help me!" After he mumbled these words, a drastic change took place in his body. His body seemed to melt and quickly turned into a pool of blood that exuded a fishy smell. Finally, it gradually seeped into the cracks in the floor and disappeared.
I froze in place. It's not because of fear, but because curiosity takes over.
Is it because of Jiang Yue's revenge that he became like this?
The bad smell in the room is also gone. The strange thing is that the wind chime never rang. Didn't any evil spirit come just now? Or is the wind chime malfunctioning?
My mother came out of the bathroom in her pajamas. When she saw me, she asked, "Why are you back so late today?"
I immediately came to my senses and replied: "I went to ask the teacher a question, that's why it's so late. Mom, why are you taking a shower so late?"
"The community is undergoing maintenance, and the electricity didn't come until after ten o'clock, so I just took a shower. You should go and do your homework quickly. By the way, I stewed rock sugar and snow pear soup, and I will serve you a bowl later."
After saying that, she walked into the kitchen.
Fortunately, my mother didn't see Zeng Ke like that just now, otherwise she would have been frightened and fainted.
But why did Zeng Ke come to me and ask me to save him? Why didn't he just go to the master?
"It's so annoying." I threw my schoolbag on the ground, rushed to the bed, and buried my head deeply in the quilt.
I suddenly realized that I was so happy and didn't have to worry about so many things.
But now, what should I do?
"Xiao Xian, come and have some soup!" Mom walked in with a bowl of steaming soup. Seeing me lying listlessly on the bed, she quickly put down the soup in her hand and came over to me with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
I sat up from the bed and forced a smile: "No, no. I'm just a little tired. Mom, go to sleep."
Seeing me saying it was okay, she still didn't believe it: "You looked ugly just now. Are you worried about something? If you are really tired, go to bed early tonight and don't be too tired. By the way, you must take advantage of the heat. Finish this bowl of soup."
I nodded, stood up from the bed with a smile, pushed her out of the door, and urged: "Okay, Mom, I will finish the drink. Go and rest quickly. I know you work very hard, go quickly sleep."
Mom also smiled and returned to her bedroom.
Looking at the steaming bowl of pear soup, I suddenly felt that life was not so difficult anymore.
When you know that you still have to protect the people you love and love you in life, nothing seems to be a problem. It's like the weather is very cold now, but after I drank this sweet bowl of rock sugar and snow pear soup that can prevent colds, my heart felt warm and so did my body.
After burping, I continued to struggle in the sea of questions...
"Yuxian, Yuxian..." In the early morning, a nice man's voice came faintly to my ears.
He kept calling my name.
I opened my eyes suddenly and found myself standing outside an ancient city gate. The sky was black, and a blood-like halo surrounded the moon.
The city gate was surrounded by blood. I took a closer look and realized that those were Manzhu Shahua, which are the legendary flowers blooming on the edge of the River of Forgetfulness.
I followed the sound and approached the city gate. I always feel like someone is calling my name inside. I looked around confused and wanted to stop. But his feet moved towards the ancient city uncontrollably.
Getting closer, getting closer. The moment I pushed open the city gate out of curiosity, I saw a man wearing white clothes behind the door. He wore a hat with white gauze on his head. His outfit felt very familiar to me. It was almost exactly the same as the man in black who gave me the wind chime that day, except that the color of his clothes and hat were different.
If this is the underworld, will they both be the legendary, black and white?
