As I told you at the beginning, the two girls talked until very late on the night of the ghost encounter. And part of the chat was about me. Ji Youan said that I am a Taoist. The so-called Taoist means dealing with many living beings, either capturing them or sending them away. And these things that I have never said or explained to Ji Youan are all things Meng Dongxue said to Ji Youan when she defended me.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, those strange voices appeared.
It makes no sense to me to say that all this is just a coincidence in time. Because there are currently two biggest doubts in front of us. The first is why this place where "men live but not women" allows these two girls to live in peace for so many months. The second question is why those ghosts appeared when Ji Youan told me about my profession. Is this a blatant provocation to me?
To prove it, I need someone to play a scene with me. I am a man, so there is no rule that a man cannot live with a woman, so I need a woman. Aunt Xu and the eldest daughter in the old couple's family are already very old. If I get frightened again, I might have a stroke and fall to the ground, and I will spend the rest of my life serving them. Ji Youan and the girl were obviously not willing to help me. After all, it seemed cruel to ask a girl who had just escaped from fear to face it again.
So I turned my attention to Meng Dongxue. This innocent little girl has always been enthusiastic about my affairs and has protected me on many occasions. If I open my mouth, will she be willing to cooperate with me? It’s just that I just scolded her in the morning, and I’m probably still angry now.
But I had no other choice, so I walked to the door and waved to Meng Dongxue, asking her to come out. After she walked out angrily, I told her with a smile that I needed her help tonight. She said angrily, didn't you say you wouldn't let me hold you back? Now you come to me again, how dare I take it? I smiled and said I was wrong. How could you hold me back? You are my hindrance...
After much talk, Meng Dongxue agreed to me with confidence. I'm quite sorry for my previous attitude towards her. After all, she really wanted to help. Meng Dongxue asked me what should be done. I told her that you also heard the content of their chat last night that Ji Youan and the girl just recounted. Part of it was what you told Ji Youan. Tonight, we will talk about these words again. Especially the part where I can catch ghosts and send them away.
Meng Dongxue looked at me puzzled and asked why I had to repeat this paragraph in particular. I said because I think the group of ghosts chose to appear one after another because they heard the content in this passage. I'm going to try to see if I can induce them to act when I say it again.
There was a look of fear on Meng Dongxue's face. I knew she would be scared, and it would be abnormal not to be scared. So I comforted her and said, I am by your side and I will protect you.
That night, after explaining to the old couple, I told them not to come over rashly no matter what noise they heard tonight, because I was afraid that the old man would be enthusiastic and open the door after hearing the noise, causing those ghosts to disappear again. Just like the first night. If this happens two nights in a row, it will be very difficult for me to find them. The old man agreed, and just after 8 p.m., he took his wife and two grandsons into the house and locked the door.
Meng Dongxue and I stayed downstairs until almost 10 o'clock before going upstairs. During this period, I told her that if my prediction was correct, then those ghosts would definitely appear tonight. I know you are afraid of these things, but you just need to say those words and don't think about anything else. If you feel scared, close your eyes tightly. You have to believe that I am always by your side.
Perhaps because I spoke more truthfully, Meng Dongxue seemed less scared. After entering the house, I locked the door and turned on the lights. Since the house was small, there were no tables or chairs, only a relatively wide bed. The bed was made up of two single beds, where Ji Youan and her roommate slept. So I could only sit down on the bed, and Meng Dongxue also sat on the other end.
Although the two of us were here to investigate, we still felt a little awkward sitting alone on the bed in this quiet cabin at night. I am a person who has been enlightened about the emotions between men and women very late. Although I have reached the age of talking about marriage, I have not been in love yet, and I don’t even know what it feels like to be in love. I think Meng Dongxue was also embarrassed, so neither of us spoke at that moment.
It was quiet in the cabin. Except for the occasional sound of wind outside, the only sounds in my ears were the breathing of Meng Dongxue and me. For a young man who has been dealing with ghosts all year round and meets only old aunts in his daily life, Meng Dongxue is good-looking and has a docile personality. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is a kind of touching youth. During the silent period when we sat there, she was beautiful and desirable to me. For a moment, I couldn't help but feel my heartbeat speed up and feel a little confused.
I knew that this would affect the investigation, so I quickly dismissed those dirty thoughts in my mind. With a blush on my face, I randomly picked a topic that I didn't care about and started chatting with Meng Dongxue. I knew from her tone that she was also embarrassed that we were sitting alone on the bed. It's just that I don't know if she is like me. She is obviously embarrassed to death, but she likes this feeling very much, because maybe after today, she will only be able to find this feeling in memories in the future.
I stayed like this until almost 11 o'clock. Thinking that this was about the time Ji Youan and her roommates started to meet ghosts last night, I whispered to Meng Dongxue, let's just pull the quilt up now, and then you can put the things we did earlier Speak the two pairs of good words slowly and as clearly as possible. It doesn't matter if your voice is louder. I will ask you questions and answers. If you are afraid after hearing any noise, just cover your eyes and don't open them until I ask you to open them.
So Meng Dongxue began to repeat what Ji Youan said last night according to the previous agreement. I cooperated with her and performed hard. Sure enough, shortly after the words were spoken, there was a rustling sound above the head. The sound really sounded like a bird flying over and flapping its wings.
When she heard the noise, Meng Dongxue closed her eyes tightly. It can be seen that she is actually not a courageous girl. It is already very difficult to be able to help me with this favor. So I continued to chat with her about those conversations that had already been strung together. Every time I said another word, the voice became louder and louder. At this moment I heard a sound of bells coming from the floor below my feet. Since I had observed the surrounding environment before dawn, I knew that the sound of the bell was the bell hanging around the neck of the cow in the cowshed below. At this moment, the noisy sounds were becoming more and more numerous and dense, and I couldn't help but become a little nervous.
So I stopped talking for the time being, and listened to the sounds moving from the top of my head to the position outside the door. Although I was a little scared, I came here for this after all, so I didn't close my eyes. The sound outside the door gradually became louder, but at a moment when I didn't expect it, it suddenly stopped. Then, I saw the lock on the wooden door shake a few times.
I mean, that kind of shaking out of thin air. It was as if someone reached out to unlock the door, but there was no one in front of the lock. After the lock rang several times, suddenly a pale hand with a black sleeve penetrated through the door.
I didn't even do anything on the door or wall to let the ghosts into the house. When I saw this ghost hand, I just pinched a purple tab in my palm, just in case. A dozen people started to file in from the wooden door panel. I subconsciously wanted to take a closer look. They were all wearing black gowns. Judging from the age of the clothes, it was indeed decades ago. Bandits and bandits were everywhere. era, the clothes of those green forest heroes. But there was a little girl and several women among them, also wearing black clothes. Their faces were pale and expressionless, and they felt like someone who was absent-minded.
My heart began to beat faster, because this group of people had gradually gathered in the direction of the bed. They seemed to have no order, as if I was a person who suddenly fell to the ground in a busy city, and they were like ordinary people who heard the sound and came to watch. Same. In a short period of time, all aspects of the bed have been discussed. Everyone stood up straight. The height at which I lean on the bed is actually much lower than the height at which they stand, which means that if they want to look at me, they have to lower their heads. But no one lowered his head, but looked directly at me with eyes downward. The eyes of the dead are scattered, which is what we usually call godlessness. Being stared at by so many dull eyes, it would be an absolute lie to say that I didn't feel panic.
However, judging from what happened to Ji Youan and her roommates the night before, they were more frightened by this scene, and these ghosts did not do any harm to them.
The ghosts in front of us look just like what Master said before. They are similar to us, but they look very dead. Their pale faces looked particularly white against the black clothes. They look very similar to those dead people I have seen in coffins. The only difference is that most of the dead people's eyes are closed, and they are staring at you.
Although this look was extremely oppressive, I still refrained from making any moves. Meng Dongxue and I had our lower bodies covered in quilts because we needed to simulate the scene of the two girls the first night. At this time, I pinched Zi Weibao with my left hand and was shaking slightly under the quilt. In the deathly silence, Meng Dongxue suddenly reached out and grabbed my left hand.
I told her softly, don't be afraid, I'm here. Glancing sideways at her, he saw that she was covering her eyes with her hands. Now I was shocked: If Meng Dongxue's hand was covering her eyes, then whose hand was holding mine?
