Chapter 170: A Night Encounter
Chapter 170: Encounter a ghost overnight.
In the evening, those young people who went to work on the banks of the Qinhuai River rushed back, they were covered in dust, but everyone had a smile on their faces, because today they made a lot of money, and with this money, they can make their families live a good life.
Many children greeted their fathers or eldest brothers on the streets, and they ran to them, and those who had been tired all day took out a small piece of candy from their bosoms and gave it to the child, then stroked the child's head, and walked home happily.
And at home, there are people who have already prepared dinner for them.
Although it is dilapidated, it has a warm feeling and is very peaceful.
After Hua Lang and the others had dinner, they quietly came to the home of the mother and son who had just moved out today, since there were people here pretending to be ghosts, then they had to arrest this ghost, so that he could not continue to harm people.
The night was getting deeper, and the autumn wind was already chilling, and it was a little cold for the few of them to hide in the room, but even so, they didn't dare to be careless.
There was only starlight outside, but the starlight was faint and could not illuminate the stone steps in front of the door covered with moss and withered grass.
The sound of the wind was still there, but apart from the sound of the wind, they didn't hear any movement, Wen Meng couldn't wait in the house, so he asked quietly, "Will this pretending to be a ghost come tonight?" ”
They didn't know if the man would come, but if they didn't wait, they wouldn't have a chance.
The wind whistled, blowing the entire window lattice for a shake, Wen Meng sat on the bed a little lost, but her eyes did not dare to look outside, because she was afraid of suddenly seeing a shining face.
Time passed minute by minute, Hua Lang remained motionless in the house, he seemed to be asleep, and seemed to be thinking about the people and things he had encountered in the past few days, but he didn't say a word, which made everyone feel palpitations.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly swept past the window, and Hanarang suddenly got up and rushed out, but when he rushed out, there was only the sound of the autumn wind blowing outside, and other than that, there was nothing.
Hua Lang frowned, he felt that he couldn't be mistaken, just now someone outside did suddenly appear at the window, Hua Lang was puzzled, but at this time, he suddenly heard Hua Wan'er's cry in the house, Hua Lang quickly turned around and rushed into the room, seeing Hua Wan'er was constantly anxious, and her legs almost didn't dare to land.
Yin Wuxian hugged Hua Wan'er tightly and comforted: "It's nothing, it's just a mouse." ”
It's just a mouse, Hua Wan'er's face was blue with fright, and Wen Meng was also a little trembling, it turned out that being afraid of mice was a common trait of women, whether they were chivalrous or ladies.
Hua Lang smiled lightly, if a woman is not afraid of mice, men may have many fewer opportunities to approach, and women may have a lot less femininity.
Everything was just a false alarm, Hua Lang sighed, ready to take the people away, now that they have exposed themselves, if the person who pretends to be a ghost knows the truth, how can he be stupid enough to come again?
But just as they walked out of the house of the mother and son, a scream mixed with screams came from not far away, it was a family only a dozen steps away from this place, and the cry that could be faintly heard was: There are ghosts.
Yin Wuxian and Hua Lang hurriedly ran over, only to see a man dressed in black, with a head full of phosphorescence jumping up and running away, his appearance was really scary, but Hua Lang and they all knew that it was just smeared with white phosphorus, how could they be afraid?
And the fake ghost is still pretending to be a ghost at this time.
Hua Lang smiled faintly, and was about to launch a hidden weapon to knock him down, but at this moment, the ghost seemed to notice something, and suddenly jumped and fled without a trace.
Hua Lang regretted that he was late, if a fake ghost found out that people didn't scream and be scared after seeing him, then he must have already known that he had been exposed, at this time, what else could he do except escape?
Voices came from inside the room, intermittently weak, but I could still hear what they were saying.
There was a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the house, the mother-in-law looked very old, probably in her seventies, and the daughter-in-law was also in her forties.
They heard the movement outside, but they didn't dare to come and see, and they didn't dare to scare them again, so they only shouted outside: "Don't be afraid, you two, that one is not a ghost just now, but someone is pretending to be a ghost to scare you, he has been driven away by us, don't be afraid." ”
After a long wait, the voice inside calmed down a little, and then the door creaked open, and the daughter-in-law was wrapped in a shabby shirt, she glanced at Hualang and the others, and saw that there were two women, so she was not very afraid, and said, "You...... Who are you? ”
It didn't take much time to explain the problem, and when she explained it clearly, the woman immediately relaxed a lot, and then invited Hanalang and the others into the house, and by this time, his mother-in-law had already lit the lamp.
A light is like a bean, the wind blows in through the cracks in the windows and doors, and the lights are swaying, although it looks a lot weirder, but it also gives people a rare sense of security.
Entering the house, Hua Lang immediately asked, "Is it the first time you have seen someone here pretending to be a ghost?" ”
The woman nodded: "We have long heard Aunt Wang next door say, but we didn't care, I really saw it, tonight is the first time, I remember that I slept well with my mother-in-law at that time, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the window, I got up to look, and saw a face full of light, and that face also made a variety of expressions, which scared people to death." ”
Hua Lang and they could almost imagine the stunned scene at that time, but now that they knew that someone was pretending to be a ghost, they were a lot more relieved, and when they left from that house, it was already very late, and the entire Wuyi Alley was silent, and even the wind listened.
They walked on this Wuyi Alley, which was originally full of cultural atmosphere, but now it was like an abandoned street, and their hearts were full of sorrow, and along the way, Hualang was silent.
Hua Lang's silence made Wen Mengshi a little man to endure and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Hua Lang smiled lightly and said, "Miss Wen wants to know about Lu Dao?" ”
Wen Meng nodded: "Of course I want to know the way." ”
Hua Lang put his arm around Wen Meng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Miss Wen wants to know about Lu Dao, then I can only say, now that there have been two haunted incidents in this place, do you think there is anything strange about this matter?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, twice haunted, what's so strange?
