The room was eerily silent.
The air was almost solid.
Xu Kaishan could even hear his own heartbeat, which kept accelerating.
The face outside the window was too familiar to him. He was aging prematurely, with a face as long as a donkey, a goatee under his nose, and two big bumps on his forehead. Looking at the tall horns on his head, it was his sworn brother Lao Yang.
"you you you……"
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
Xu Kaishan was frightened and subconsciously shrank back.
He has traveled far and wide and has seen a lot, but he has never seen any master who can stand in the air.
The face outside the window is still smiling.
"I am neither a human nor a ghost. I am the conscience in your heart."
"You fart!!"
Xu Kaishan blurted out out of habit.
The people he came into contact with were all a bunch of rough guys, and he was even more vulgar. He couldn't even read a word.
After scolding him, he immediately regretted it.
I saw a figure outside leaping through the window, landing lightly in the room, and slowly walked towards the bedside.
"Your conscience has been eaten by yourself. Lord Yama asked me to strangle you to death."
"don't want!"
Before Xu Kaishan could react, a pair of big hands had already strangled his neck.
A strong sense of fear and suffocation surged into his brain, making him wide-eyed and struggling desperately, making the bed board squeak.
Bang——
The door of the room was kicked open, and several bodyguards who heard the commotion broke into the room. They were all shocked when they saw Xu Kaishan pinching his neck hard, his eyes rolled white, and veins popped out on his forehead.
"Old Xu!"
"What’s wrong with you?"
Everyone shouted in vain, knowing that Xu Kaishan was possessed by a ghost and was possessed by evil spirits.
One of the bodyguards raised his hand and slapped Xu Kaishan twice, causing Xu Kaishan's cheeks to quickly become red and swollen.
Another person took a sip of tea and sprayed it on Xu Kaishan's face to bring him back to his senses.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Xu Kaishan was terrified. It was not until he saw the people in front of the bed clearly that he gradually calmed down in confusion.
"Did you see Lao Yang just now?"
"What Lao Yang?"
"Isn't he dead?"
"You buried it with your own hands."
Several escorts looked at each other and said:
"There was no one in your house when we came in, except for you yelling and nearly strangulating yourself to death."
"This is impossible!"
Xu Kaishan shook his head repeatedly, looked at the window, and was immediately confused.
The windows were closed, the hanging silk threads and bells were still there, showing no signs of movement, and there was no dust blown into the house.
"Is it really a nightmare?"
Xu Kaishan shivered. At some point, his clothes were already soaked through, and his whole body looked like he had been fished out of the water.
As for Lao Yang, he didn't dare to mention it any more, lest other bodyguards become suspicious.
If you didn't do anything wrong, how could you dream that someone would come to kill you?
"I think you are too nervous, Kaishan. You were too tired from this escort trip and didn't get enough rest. You are hallucinating."
"Those bandits are so abominable. Next time we meet them, we will definitely avenge Lao Yang."
"It's still early before dawn in Kaishan. Why don't you go sleep with me next door?"
Everyone comforted Xu Kaishan and saw that his mood had stabilized. Everyone was tired of sleep after running around for many days.
Xu Kaishan, however, was so precious that he would not dare to sleep with others, so he could only shake his head and say:
"Forget it, I won't sleep. I'll sit by myself for a while. You guys can go and rest."
The few of them looked at each other, said a few words of comfort, and then went back to their rooms.
When the door was closed and the room fell into silence, Xu Kaishan suddenly became nervous again for some reason, restless and terrified.
I am afraid that if Lao Yang is not dead, I will come back and kill him.
Second, he was afraid that the other escorts would pretend to be stupid and miss the strange stone in his arms.
After all, Xu Kaishan didn't know whether Lao Yang had shown off this strange stone to other escorts.
He had reason to suspect that everything that happened just now was deliberately staged by other escorts to scare him.
"No, it's not safe to put the stone on me."
Xu Kaishan lay half-lying beside the bed and stuffed the strange stones under the bed.
Within half an hour, I felt that it would not be good to put it under the bed.
If there is an accident and other escorts break in again, everyone will have to leave together. He will not even have time to reach out for the strange stone, and in the end he will only give the store an advantage.
"Which escort wants to kill me?"
Xu Kaishan couldn't help but have random thoughts and felt that everyone was suspicious.
"Hulala-"
Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew against the window paper, causing Xu Kaishan's soul to escape. He clutched the knife in his hand and stared at the window.
It wasn't until his eyes were strained too hard and his energy was so exhausted that he was dazzled by what he saw, and then he huddled up against the wall tremblingly.
In this way, Xu Kaishan tossed and turned all night long.
Any sound in the room would scare him into a cold sweat.
Early the next morning.
An escort came to shout.
When he opened the door, he saw Xu Kaishan trembling, his eyes bloodshot and he shouted:
"Don't come over here!"
"..."
The escort who opened the door was dumbfounded.
How come it was only one night, and Xu Kaishan seemed to have gone crazy and was not mentally normal anymore.
"Kaishan, you don't recognize me?"
"If you come here again, I'll kill you!"
Xu Kaishan shouted hoarsely and waved his long knife to defend himself.
The other escorts heard the sound and gathered together again. Seeing Xu Kaishan like this, they all secretly shook their heads.
Possession by ghosts is beyond their ability. They must find a Yin-Yang Mr. or a wizard to come and suppress the evil spirits.
But before that, Xu Kaishan must be controlled first to prevent him from hurting people with his knife.
Several people looked at each other and rushed forward at the same time.
In Xu Kaishan's eyes, their actions were like a few evil ghosts trying to eat him and kill him.
"boom--"
Xu Kaishan broke through the window and fell straight onto the street.
The leg bones cracked and broke.
He didn't even complain about the pain, he got up immediately, staggered and rushed into the distance, just wanting to get rid of these evil ghosts.
It wasn't until he ran far enough that he hid in a small alley, panting heavily, his knees bleeding, and he tore off his clothes and bandaged his wounds.
"I can't go back to the inn. I have to leave the capital quickly."
Xu Kaishan walked out of the alley in a daze, holding the strange stone in his arms tightly. Everyone he met on the street looked like a ghost seeking death. The dogs on the roadside looked at him and thought they would pounce on him and bite him to death.
Ma Liu, who was sitting on the roadside drinking tea, saw that he was almost tortured. With a flick of his fingertips, he dropped some medicine into the tea. Without looking back, he raised his hand and poured it behind him.
After pouring the tea, Xu Kaishan was suddenly stunned.
Every bit of his relationship with Lao Yang flashed through his mind, including his grandiose words about not seeking to live together but to die together, and the scene of Lao Yang risking his life to save him, which made him blush.
"Snapped!"
Xu Kaishan slapped himself hard, cursed with red eyes:
"What a damn thing! You're so ungrateful and ungrateful!"
A cup of tea and my mind is clear.
Even if this strange stone is worth one million taels of silver, it is still ill-gotten wealth.
When I was young, I, Lao Xu, was a very righteous man. How come I have changed in recent years?
Xu Kaishan limped and ran towards Caishikou.
Seeing that Ma Liu was not there, he was about to take out yesterday's letter and ask Zhang Aotian to add a few words for him, when he saw Lao Liu coming back from behind, smiling and clasping his fists, saying:
"Congratulations, Bodyguard Xu, you have understood."
Xu Kaishan looked ashamed and said:
"Yesterday you reminded me whether there were any relics for the two elders. I still blamed you for being nosy. It was really blind. I wonder if you could help me add a few words to the letter."
"sure."
Ma Liu took the letter and wrote on the strange stone according to Xu Kaishan's request, and told him that this thing was valuable and worth at least three hundred taels.
Xu Kaishan took back the envelope and solemnly thanked him.
Go to a nearby post station to send something.
Instantly I feel that life is magnanimous and my body and mind are transparent.
