When I saw those two white skulls, I felt an indescribable sadness in my heart. I didn't know what grudges they had before, but when I saw Jiang Yue jump into the pit decisively, I knew that she still loved him very much.
As soon as I turned around, the dungeon began to shake violently. Xiaoye jumped over, picked me up easily, and then gently whispered in my ear: "Close your eyes."
I was stunned for a moment, then immediately closed my eyes. I was surprised that his voice was different from usual. It seemed to have a kind of magical power that captivated people's hearts and made people irresistible.
Then a strong wind roared in my ears. After only a few seconds, the surroundings were quiet again. I suddenly opened my eyes and found that we had arrived at Yujian Road.
"Xiaoye, the situation was too urgent just now, so I had to call you over." I raised my head and looked at him guiltily.
"Did you drop your own blood on the wind chime?" He reacted quickly and came over to look at my hand.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt too much." I smiled and put my hands in my pockets.
Suddenly, a car horn sounded in the distance. He glanced back and disappeared into thin air without saying a word.
The black car drove towards me slowly and then stopped beside me. The window was rolled down and the driver was a middle-aged uncle.
He asked me anxiously: "I'm sorry to bother you. Have you seen my young master?"
Only then did I remember that I saw him and Han Wanting standing together on Yujian Road last time.
Looking at his anxious eyes, I nodded helplessly.
"Excuse me." After saying that, he quickly drove away.
Where would Han Wanting go so late? Wait, how does this uncle know that I know Han Wanting?
After the car drove away, I shouted softly into the air: "Xiaoye, I'm home. Bye!" But no one responded.
Although I don’t know if he is nearby, it’s better for me to say something.
I braved the cold wind and returned to the community. Only then did I realize that all my things were still downstairs. The schoolbag fell to the ground, and the recovery soup spilled all over the floor.
Frustrated, I picked up my schoolbag and the cup with some leftover Hui Shen Tang from the floor. Fortunately, my mother has been on a business trip recently. If she found out that I haven't come home yet, she would definitely be anxious.
I cautiously went upstairs and opened the door, fearing to disturb my sleeping neighbors. As soon as I entered the door, I went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot tea. Thinking about what I just experienced, I can't sleep at all now. But the troublesome thing is that I have another day of classes tomorrow, so I will probably doze off.
I looked at the alarm clock on the table. It was already three o'clock in the morning.
Forget it, no matter what, I will sleep anyway. Otherwise, you will be very sleepy when you wake up in the morning. But no matter what I did, the pit filled with poisonous snakes and insects, the two bones embracing each other, and Xiao Ye always appeared in my mind.
I don’t know where Han Wanting went? Was he also arrested?
I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, I went to school early as usual. Although I was very sleepy, I still held on. Xiang Zhichuan also came very early. As soon as he walked in, he put down his schoolbag and started reading. I called him from behind. He turned back and looked at me curiously. I asked: "Is Han Wanting okay?"
Xiang Zhichuan laughed first, and then replied: "You mean you had a fight last night? He's fine. He's usually like this."
"No. Did he go home last night? I met an uncle who was looking for him everywhere."
He looked puzzled and said puzzledly: "He went home. The uncle you mentioned looking for him should be his housekeeper, Uncle Liu. By the way, where did you meet Uncle Liu?"
"Yujian Road."
He suddenly stood up and walked out, leaving behind a sentence: "I'll go to their classroom to have a look."
Li Wan happened to come in at this time and bumped into him. The two looked at each other awkwardly, then pretended that nothing happened and walked away.
But I still saw Li Wan's face turned red to the roots of her ears.
I covered my mouth and snickered.
Li Wan sat down on her seat, turned her head and looked at me, pretending not to care and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
I immediately changed my face and replied seriously: "Nothing, I just saw Cupid shooting arrows at two people."
She quickly reacted, pretending to be angry, and tapped me lightly on the shoulder.
I finally couldn't help it and laughed. But while I was smiling, my right wrist suddenly felt a little itchy. I rolled up my sleeves and took a look, only to find two red lines on my wrists. In a daze, I seemed to see them squirming.
Li Wan saw that I didn't look right and came over immediately. She touched my wrist, frowned, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with your hand?"
I shook my head helplessly. These two thin red lines do not look like they were painted on. It's like they've grown on my wrists. There was only one last time, but there are two this time. I can't imagine what will happen next.
Li Wan said with concern: "Did you hit something sharp? If it hurts, you'd better go see a doctor."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Okay." But the two long red marks on my wrist didn't seem to be made by anything sharp.
Li Wan was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xiang Zhichuan who ran in: "He's fine. This guy said he went to an Internet cafe last night."
"So that's it." I breathed a sigh of relief.
After Li Wan waited for Xiang Zhichuan to sit down, she quietly asked me, "What's wrong?"
I told Uncle Liu about looking for Han Wanting. After hearing this, Li Wan nodded in enlightenment.
A few days later, there were a few more red marks on my wrists. I was very anxious, so I planned to go to the hospital to see a doctor on the weekend.
There are many people on weekends. I waited for several buses at the bus stop, and they were all full. Finally a bus that was a little full but still able to carry people stopped. As soon as I stepped on the car, an old woman got out of the car through the front door, so I had to let her go. Unexpectedly, a fat lady next to me got into the car first with quick eyesight and quick hands. I thought I still had a chance, but the driver shouted to me: "Little girl, I'm sorry. The bus is already full, please take another one."
I had no choice but to admit that I was unlucky and walked to the stop sign in despair. It was obvious that I was just a little bit close to getting in. Alas, today was really a bad start.
In annoyance, I heard someone behind me shout: "Long time no see!"
When I turned around, I saw Master Du's scruffy beard face.
"Master!" I shouted in surprise.
He was still smiling at first, but when he saw me, his expression changed, and he suddenly asked: "You seem to be getting worse and worse recently. The popularity in you seems to have weakened a lot. Have you seen What kind of underworld?"
The master is indeed a master. I told him all the things that happened to me before. After listening, he just twirled his beard with his hand, and then whispered: "There are many people here talking, it is better to go to my place to talk."
So, we went to the alley again. He made me a cup of tea and sat in a chair. He looked solemn, and after a long time he said, "Show me the wind chime in your hand."
I took off the wind chime from the bracelet and handed it over.
He picked up the wind chime, looked at it carefully, and then gave it back to me. Then, he sighed again: "I'm afraid this thing is not something you can afford. This kind of wind chime is a soul exorcism bell used by the underworld, but you are just an ordinary person. The longer you wear it, the more affected you will be. The bigger it gets. In the end, it’s hard to say that it’s seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.”
"Then I'd better give it back to him." I reluctantly tied the wind chime back on.
"It's not impossible. If you can drink a bowl of Meng Po's Hui Shen Tang, it may still be able to help you suppress your soul. But this Hui Shen Tang is really a treasure in the world!" The master mentioned "Hui Shen Tang" These three words immediately reminded me of that weird milk tea shop. Could it be that Po Meng is the clerk’s sister?
"How old is Po Meng? What does she look like?" I asked him curiously.
When the uncle heard this, he burst out laughing: "How could I have seen her before? Po Meng only sees people who are destined to be together."
It’s unimaginable that I pass by Meng Po’s milk tea shop almost every day. Moreover, that earthly treasure is still milk tea flavored. To me, it is quite a treasure in the world. It seems that the wind chimes should be left here for now.
The two white bones embracing each other suddenly appeared in my mind. Driven by curiosity, I couldn't help but ask: "Master, did Zeng Ke come to you to suppress Jiang Yue's soul?"
He replied calmly: "It's not her."
"Who is that? Is he the one who wants to arrest me?" I suddenly asked as an idea flashed through my mind.
He nodded and said in a serious tone: "I have tried many methods but can't suppress her."
I asked anxiously: "I heard from Xiaoye that that person's target might be me. Master, are you really helpless at all?"
The master seemed to remember something, and suddenly stood up and walked to the cabinet to look for something. I looked at the cabinet. The cabinet was covered with dusty talismans and incense.
While he was searching, he turned back to me and said, "I want to invite the souls of Jiang Yue and Zeng Ke to come up. I want to ask them about evil spirits."
I became more and more curious because this was the first time I saw a ghost-inviting spell.
"I can only help you so much." After saying this, the master came over with a stack of talismans.
He took out a small bowl from the drawer with rice in it. I thought he wanted to invite souls, but I didn't expect that he handed all these things to me.
"Master, what are you doing? I don't know how to invite souls." I looked at the things in front of me in surprise.
The master said calmly: "You can learn. I have never recruited ghosts. Even if you do it, you may not be able to invite them. You have a very yin constitution, weak horoscopes, and yin and yang eyes, so it is easy to succeed. When the time comes, you can ask Just ask them something about that evil spirit. But then you can't wear this wind chime."
I nodded. Later, the master told me how to use these things to invite ghosts.
I was just about to leave when I looked back and thought that masters usually charge a fee for helping people. Besides, I didn't pay for the last time I used his charm. So I asked, "Master, how much do these cost?"
The master didn't say it at first. He felt embarrassed to accept money from a child who was still studying. These talismans and other things also cost a certain amount of money. I think the master's daily life seems to be very tight. After all, this is what he relies on for a living, but how can he always do business at a loss?
But no matter how much I tried to persuade him, the master refused to give up the money. In desperation, I quickly put the money on the table, picked up the bag with the things and ran away.
