"I'm leaving"
Yu Peng was sitting on the stone, but he wanted to get up and jump down.
The leading ghost actually said to let Yu Peng go and do his work, but weren't they just polite words? Why is this kid so blind?
Seeing that Yu Peng was really going to leave, he was a little anxious and hurriedly said
"Great Immortal, don't leave in a hurry. This place is not peaceful. I'm telling you to prevent you from encountering any trouble on the way and to deal with it."
"trouble"?
"Yes, yes, when I look at you, you have never gone out much before, right? Let me tell you, this world is not peaceful. It's not like you at home, where you don't have to worry about anything. You can't do that outside. Even small things will cause trouble if you encounter them."
The leading ghost frowned when he saw Yu Peng talking about trouble, and immediately became energetic.
"If nothing else, it's already past 2 o'clock. You always need to eat, right? And looking at the cloudy sky, it's probably going to rain soon. Although you're out to experience life, life is nothing more than that. A small place with basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation is no better than your home. By the way, are you hungry now? There is a noodle shop in the nearby town, and the noodles they make are amazing. How about I take you to try it? "
Seeing that Yu Peng still didn't respond, the leading ghost was also a little confused about Yu Peng's temper. He didn't know what to say better, so he stopped talking, waited for Yu Peng's response, and then decided what to say next.
Yu Peng really wanted to leave, not because he was in a hurry for time or because he had something urgent to do, but because he was indifferent to these ghosts and was too lazy to talk to them.
Yu Peng is indeed young, but he is not stupid. Who said that maturity is related to age? Can't you mature at a young age?
There are quite a few ghosts that Yu Peng comes into contact with on a daily basis. At first, just for fun, he also read the memory fragments of ghosts. It was like watching a movie, watching a ghost's life and past. After watching more, his understanding of the concept of life is better than anyone else's. It must be clear and concise.
Looking at the ghosts in front of him, Yu Peng could certainly guess their little thoughts. It also seems that their operation is a bit too low-level.
But just like this, Yu Peng suddenly became interested and wanted to see what these ghosts could do.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Peng responded.
"I'm a little hungry, I might as well get something to eat."
"Hey!! I'm just saying, people are as good as steel. If you don't eat even one meal, you will feel hungry. Come on, follow me. Let me tell you, that noodle shop is the best here. Everyone who passes by here says tasty"
At this time, an inappropriate voice suddenly came from
"Brother Rong, what's so good about that noodle shop? Look at Xiaoxianshi like this, how can you eat food from a small place like that?"
Yu Peng turned around and looked over. He saw a ghost who looked a little taller than the leading ghost Rong Ge. He should have been in his twenties when he was alive, but his body was extremely thin. He was taller than the teenage ghost. Even thinner.
Of course, this thinness is not due to the height and body during life, but the ghost formed after death. It is difficult to maintain the appearance of life, so it appears thin and weak.
Brother Rong, the leader, looked at the ghost with cold eyes and said
"Xiangzi, what do you call this? What is a good place like this in our little place? Those who stutter are lucky, and it is even more rare to meet someone who suits your taste. Otherwise, where do you go? Go Are you looking for food in the grave pit?"
The ghost named Xiangzi suddenly stopped talking when he heard this.
Brother Rong turned around and immediately looked at Yu Peng with a playful smile.
"Don't mind, little fairy. People in small places don't have much culture. This kid is just like that. He can't speak and doesn't know how to treat guests. He makes you laugh."
Then he took the lead and led Yu Peng down the mountain. As he walked, he introduced the ghost brothers next to him.
"Xiao Xianshi, although our place is small, the people here are really sincere. My name is Wang Rong, and they are all used to calling me Brother Rong. You can just call me Brother Wang Rong. The one who didn't have eyes just now, His name is Wang Yuxiang. His name is not bad, but his personality is a bit different. He is the child of my second uncle’s family and has been following me. The one next to him is called Wang Li, that one is Wang Yu, and the youngest one is called Wang Bao. We are all from the same village. More or less, they are all related.”
"Our place is small, and there really isn't much to talk about. It's all trivial matters, so I won't go into details with you. Did you just come here like this, little fairy? Didn't you take a car or something?"
"I just walked around casually, not in a hurry, just wandering around and having fun."
Yu Peng didn't want to say too much. There were too many voices in his head, which made him a little upset, so he walked very fast. After a while, a group of ghosts seemed to be unable to keep up.
However, the mountain Yu Peng went up today was indeed not far from the town, so he arrived at the edge of the town in less than half an hour.
It was a cloudy day today, and since it was close to the town, there were obviously more ghosts out and about. When six ghosts surrounded Yu Peng and walked into the town, the nearby ghosts subconsciously avoided them.
Obviously, the ghosts of this generation have been harassed by these six ghosts, and everyone feels that they can't avoid them.
Following the directions, Yu Peng saw a noodle shop. It was very small, and there was only a small sign at the door. It was considered a signboard, and it was not popular at all.
After walking in, there was only one room inside, with a few tables scattered around, and a piece of paper hanging on the wall with the types and prices of several types of noodles and dumplings written on them.
There was no front desk in the house. When I heard the sound of Yu Peng coming in, from the kitchen inside, I opened the door curtain with one hand and walked out. It was an ordinary-looking woman in her forties, a little chubby, with hands on her hands. With white flour.
When I first saw Yu Peng, the boss's eyes darkened obviously. He was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid who looked just like a child in the village. His clothes were quite clean, and he had the aura of a student from a nearby middle school. It's cool, but it's very unfamiliar, I've never seen it before.
After thinking about it, the female boss still said hello out of habit.
"What do you want to eat? Now we only have noodles and dumplings."
"Eat noodles, auntie, just bring me a bowl of hand-made noodles."
Yu Peng looked at the menu on the wall, which showed hand-rolled noodles. He thought of last night, when he told his family that he was going out, and his parents made hand-rolled noodles for him, so he ordered one.
"Okay, wait a minute"
The seat Yu Peng chose was against a table near the door. There were no other guests in the room, so it seemed a bit deserted. Several ghosts were also looking for seats nearby, vaguely surrounding Yu Peng.
While waiting for the noodles to come, Yu Peng did not talk to several ghosts. Of course, it was not with his mouth, but with fluctuations of consciousness in his mind. Ghosts are different from humans. Their communication, or speech, is to express the fluctuations of their thoughts. A magnetic field spreads out, just like a radio, and Yu Peng responds to them in the same way.
Therefore, even if they chatted passionately, normal people would not be able to hear them. At most, they would feel a little noisy and irritable, but they could not hear any sounds and had no idea what was going on.
Brother Rong, the leader, didn't say much after arriving here. He sat alone at a table near the back and stared at a place in the corner in a daze.
The other ghosts were all silent, which made Yu Peng a little strange.
After a while, the noodles were served. They were simple and plain. The soup was really watery and the taste was average. It was far different from what was made at home.
After finishing the noodles in a hurry, Yu Peng even drank the soup.
Anyway, for Yu Peng, whatever he eats is the same, it just fills his stomach. Especially for Yu Peng now, even if he doesn't eat, just absorbing spiritual energy can keep him from going hungry for a month, not to mention it tastes good. broken.
Maybe Yu Peng ate too fast and finished it in just a few minutes. The other ghosts were still in a daze. It wasn't until Yu Peng and the landlady were checking out that they realized that Yu Peng's mobile phone couldn't be used. Scan the QR code to pay and settle in cash. Otherwise, they might not even notice that Yu Peng is gone.
As for why you don’t scan the code?
Because Yu Peng is using a very old Nokia mobile phone….
It was his father who spent a long time searching for it specially for Yu Peng.
Because Yu Peng doesn’t know how to play mobile apps.
As they continued on their way, several ghosts still did not give up and continued to follow Yu Peng. Yu Peng drove them away several times, but failed to do so. After thinking about it, this was not the solution, so Yu Peng returned to the mountain.
Arriving at a relatively remote place with relatively clean ground, Yu Peng sat down directly and looked at the several ghosts standing in front of him.
close eyes
Open it again
Eyes filled with white flames glanced directly at several ghosts.
In just this moment, the ghosts, each carrying broken knives and wooden sticks, knelt down in seconds!
There was really no hesitation or time to react. He knelt directly on the ground and hit his head on the ground, wishing he could crawl into the ground.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Yu Peng's eyes looked at Brother Rong, who was kneeling at the front.
"I want to see an opportunity to take advantage of you, otherwise I won't be willing to do it!"
"I am a child, what advantage can I take advantage of?"
"You can see us directly and talk to us. I don't believe that you are ungrateful and you can't have something on you. If you are young and fall into our trap, even if you give out a little bit of something, it will be enough for me to eat for several years." "
Wang Rong's voice was crisp and clear, expressing his direct thoughts. Of course, it was not what he wanted to say. In fact, after Yu Peng launched the soul-burning fire, no ghost had the slightest intention to resist, even if Yu Peng let him Even if they die, they will not hesitate at all. The spirit body is slightly better, but once the flames activated by Yu Peng become stronger, they will not be able to resist it.
It is estimated that the legendary Holy Spirit can resist it, but Yu Peng has only heard about it and has never actually encountered it.
"Then what happened to that noodle restaurant you asked me to eat at?"
Yu Peng can guess the above points. If there is a difference between people in terms of cleverness, then those who rob families and homes are definitely the shrewdest. Most of the time, they can see people and things accurately. Of course, they become ghosts. Same thing.
It's just that Yu Peng thought that they strongly recommended him to eat that noodle shop, and he was really curious. The noodles made in that restaurant didn't taste that good, but there were no ingredients in it. Especially the behavior of a few ghosts after they entered, Yu Peng was a little curious. He was very curious as to what their relationship was.
It was just a big guess, basically just a matter of family feud. Wang Rong's reply immediately confirmed this idea to Yu Peng.
"She is my niece, Yuxiang's daughter. We will take care of her if we can."
Sure enough, nothing happens for no reason in the world. Thinking of this, Yu Peng canceled the Eye of Burning Spirit and returned to his normal state. The pressure of several ghosts in his heart suddenly disappeared.
But they didn't dare to run. They still knew the rules of robbery, or they were very skilled in bullying and fearing the strong. Although Yu Peng revoked his ability, they were still very obedient and knelt in front, not daring to move.
"Stop kneeling, I think it's awkward. Let's sit and chat."
"Brother, you have the final say, we listen to you."
"Why don't you call me Immortal Master, Great Immortal?"
The little immortal master and great immortal who was called by Brother Rong all the way suddenly heard Brother Rong calling him little brother. Yu Peng was really not used to it.
When Brother Rong heard this, he smiled sheepishly and replied:
"Hey, that was a curse word. I was just ignorant. You, sir, have a lot of words, so just treat me like a piece of shit."
Yu Peng looked at Brother Rong, rolled his eyes and said
"Why are you so cowardly? Didn't you just hold a knife to stop me?"
The more he said this, the more the ghosts lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Brother Rong lowered his head in embarrassment. If this were alive, these people would blush with embarrassment. On the contrary, Wang Yuxiang was a little better. After all, he didn't have any bad intentions.
"What happened to you when you were alive?"
After a while of silence, Yu Peng continued to ask questions.
After another long silence, Brother Rong sighed and spoke.
"What else can there be? We are poor. In the past, this place was in a remote and remote area. We had nothing, but we had to eat and raise children. Our brothers were also forced to have no choice but to take care of the things at home. He ran to the road to rob someone."
"It's all my fault. I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't take the main road, so I had to take the small road. In the end, I didn't even get the money. When I met a pack of wolves, we just gave it to a few of us."
"What a fucking idiot. I just felt sorry for them. I originally wanted to grab some money to help everyone's family, but everyone came in."
Maybe it was because they recalled the time when they were eaten by wolves, obviously starting from Brother Rong, the bodies of several ghosts began to tremble a little, and as they talked, several ghosts started sobbing and crying in front of Yu Peng.
Yu Peng's head was about to explode in an instant. It felt awkward to think about these grown men squatting next to him and crying...
Yu Peng covered his head with his hands, buried his head, and looked at the ghosts with a lifeless expression. Where are they?
Seeing Yu Peng's appearance, Brother Rong stopped sobbing first, felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile
"Don't mind, don't mind, alas... The few of us are just like this, with no future. We haven't done any good things in our lives. In the end, we didn't end up well in the village when we died. But it's been more than forty years. We When he died, Yuxiang and his daughter were only three years old. Now she looks like she is forty-six. We are hopeless and have no chance to have a heir. Yuxiang and his daughter are the only ones who can carry on the family line."
"Hey, who told us to commit evil while we were alive? That's why the girl hasn't started a family yet. It's all my fault. But I don't have the chance to say sorry to the girl. What can I do? She deserves it."
Yuxiang interrupted and said this, but he didn't mean to scold Brother Rong.
Several other ghosts also started to interject appropriately, saying something more or less, but the teenage ghost hid behind and didn't say a word. He was a little scared.
Before, he had been thinking about killing Yu Peng. He was jealous that Yu Peng was alive. He was afraid that if Yu Peng found out, he would blame him and kill himself. What if he killed his other brothers as well? I'm really sorry for these brothers.
Everyone was just like this, chatting casually, and the ghosts were talking to each other, talking about things in life, and their experiences of becoming ghosts after death. Although they died a little unfairly, they were relatively united in life, and after death They hang out together every day, and the ghosts around them don't bother them very much. The elders also talk about it, but everyone is dead, and they don't talk about modesty, so they don't care about the education of the ghosts of the elders.
This was also the reason why other ghosts avoided them when they entered the town. Of course, it was just a small village at that time, but it had only been a few decades since it had developed into a small town.
Maybe because they were in the mountains when they died, they were still used to going up to the mountains to play. When they met people running around the mountains to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables, they would rob them as entertainment.
Of course, they are just addicted to their mouths and hands, and they can't really rob humans. They just play around and have some fun for themselves.
Then, I met Yu Peng.
Met someone who could see them.
In the past, they had only heard that Taoists and monks could see ghosts. The so-called extermination of demons and protection of the Tao, exorcism of ghosts and avoidance of evil, these were what those Taoists and monks were good at.
When they first saw Yu Peng, their first thought was to run away. However, seeing that Yu Peng was a child after all, and that they would fight and kill him before he came up, they had their own thoughts and wanted to see if they could get something out of Yu Peng. benefit.
"By the way, what does the idea mean?"
Yu Peng thought about it. When he first saw him, Brother Rong said this and smelled it curiously.
"That's not how it's played out on TV. It's a tricky idea. It means this person is not easy to mess with. This is called slang!"
"What a slanderous thing! I really thought I was a robber. I was killed by the gang on my first day on the job. I'm just talking slanderous words!"
The ghost named Wang Li cursed rudely.
He was the most unfair among these people. He didn't have much contact with other people during his lifetime. He still had a regular job at the time. Although he couldn't make a lot of money, he had no worries about food and drink. He was also the happiest he had ever been at that time. My wife has 2 children.
On the day he went to the mountain to rob, he happened to be resting and not working. He was deceived into going there. Brother Rong told him that he was going to the mountain to play. He didn't think much about it. When he saw why Brother Rong was still carrying a knife and the others were carrying sticks, he asked specifically After a while, who knew that Brother Rong told him that it was for self-defense and was afraid of wild beasts on the mountain, so he took it seriously.
Then he was very kind and helped the other two ghosts replace their sticks with better quality...
Later, I met a pack of wolves and was picked on. It wasn't until I died that I became a ghost and I realized that they were actually going to rob. As a result, they were beaten and robbed, but it seemed that they were the ones being robbed. A few, the meaty kind.
After that, his wife ran away and his two children fell ill and died. Because they hated themselves, the elders and the ghosts of the two children are still unwilling to see him. But what can be done? In that era, people died for no reason. not enough?
So later on, he didn't have any resentment towards his brothers. He was like that when he was alive, and he was like that when he died. It didn't matter. It was just that his temper was like this. He was very straightforward when he was alive, and he was like that now after he died.
They are all people who have been harmed by TV series... ghosts...
As for what Brother Rong said, he wanted to get some benefits from Yu Peng.
In fact, they don't know what the benefits are, and they don't know what Yu Peng can give them. They just told Brother Rong that after being a ghost for more than 40 years, this was the first time he met a human being who could see him. If you don't do something
Really unwilling to do so.
