Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Sacrifice of the River God
"That's not a dream!" Ji Yayun said suddenly.
I was shaken.
Her words may sound inexplicable to ordinary people, but I know what is going on.
When she said this, it was equivalent to proving that she was in the same 'dream' as me last night.
Sang Lan was wearing the same pajamas I saw in my dream, Sang Lan was also in that dream, she had a situation in the dream, and she was ...... in reality
Sang Lan was left in a dream!
I shuddered at the sudden thought.
"That woman!" Thinking back to the dream, I pulled my legs and ran out.
Ran to the front and hurriedly asked the innkeeper, "What room does that woman live in?" ”
“1010!” The boss turned around and picked up a bunch of keys: "I'll go with you." ”
I took two steps back, suddenly felt something was wrong, turned my face and asked him, "How do you know who I'm asking?" ”
The innkeeper looked confused, as if he didn't know how to answer, but just shook his head at me.
I didn't bother to ask any more, I hurried back to the houseboat, came to the door of room 1010, and banged on the door hard, but there was no response from inside.
"I'm coming!" The innkeeper found the spare key and inserted the door lock.
I noticed that his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
The door opened, but there was no one in the room.
"She didn't check out where the people went......" said the innkeeper distractedly.
Still checking out?
I shook my head and went back to Sang Lan's room.
At this time, Dou Dabao and the blind man and others had already gotten up.
Hearing that Sang Lan couldn't wake up, Dou Dabao ran to her bedside, opened his teeth and danced his claws: "Get up and pee, if you don't get up again, I'll ......."
"Go aside!" I pulled him away and turned my head to look at Duan Jiayin.
Duan Jiayin frowned and shook her head: "I can't count what her condition is." ”
"What else could it be? Since the soul is not lost, it is a lost mind! Jinghai leaned against the door, picking at his fingernails and said.
"Ghost again?" Dou Dabao twisted his eyebrows, "You mean, like the female reporter's cousin, she was fascinated by the water ghost?" ”
Jing Hai rolled his eyes: "Then where do I know where to go?" You have to ask the people around her, what did she do last night? ”
I subconsciously shook my head, and seeing that Sang Lan's parents and Ji Yayun were worried, I asked Sang Lan's parents to stay and take care of Sang Lan, and let Ji Yayun and the others go to the front to talk.
When I came to the dining room, I directly told me about my dream last night.
After hearing this, the blind man and the others felt incredible, but they couldn't say why.
"Bang dang!"
An abrupt sound caught everyone's attention.
When I turned my head, I saw that it was the innkeeper who had accidentally dropped a pot of porridge on the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The innkeeper was in a hurry to clean up.
Thinking of his reaction just now, I couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how do you know who I'm looking for?" ”
The innkeeper was stunned and said, "I'...... My first reaction was that there were so many people in the hotel in the past two days......"
Seeing that he was a little depressed, I interrupted him and asked, "Did you dream last night?" ”
Without waiting for him to answer, I continued to ask, "Do you have a daughter?" ”
"Huh? How do you know? The innkeeper looked stunned.
I thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you and your lover, and your daughter, all had the same dream last night. You saw the female white-collar worker in your dream, and ......"
I gritted my teeth, "You family of three jumped into the river. ”
The innkeeper's body was visibly shocked, and the pot he had just picked up fell to the ground again.
He stared at me for a moment, then suddenly pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed in a hurry.
As soon as he put his phone to his ear, there was a melodious ringing of his mobile phone outside the dining room.
"Dad, are you calling me?" A girl with a ponytail and a backpack walked in from the outside with a mobile phone.
Seeing the girl's appearance, I couldn't help but gasp.
This girl is exactly the same girl I saw in my dream last night.
"Why are you back?" The innkeeper asked stunned.
The girl's eyes were red and she didn't seem to be in good spirits, and she replied wiltedly, "Have you forgotten that it's the weekend?" School holidays, where do I go if I don't go home? ”
The innkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Liangliang, did you dream last night?" ”
The girl was stunned, her eyes squeezed, she threw herself into his arms, and cried, "Dad, I have a nightmare...... It scared the hell out of me......"
I nodded, the reason why I asked the innkeeper that way was purely a bold guess.
Ji Yayun and I both remember the dream clearly, and since the innkeeper's family also appeared in that weird dream, it is likely that they will also leave an impression.
Now my suspicions have been confirmed, but the whole thing is even more bizarre.
How could it be that so many people had the same dream and appeared on the same ancient ship?
"What did you all dream about?" Jinghai asked the innkeeper in a raised voice.
The innkeeper came to his senses and looked a little suspicious in the eyes of the old monk.
The boss's daughter only sobbed and said to her father:
"I dreamed that I ran to a boat, and you and Mom were there, and there was a woman in a black suit and skirt. The woman said, 'You are all sacrifices to the river god,' and then I felt like my body was out of control. I...... And you and your mother, follow her to kowtow to the river, and then ...... Then we all jumped uncontrollably into the river...... Woohoo......"
"An offering to the river god?" Monk Jinghai touched his smooth chin and muttered, "It's kind of interesting." ”
The innkeeper patted his daughter's back and comforted her, then suddenly stared at Jinghai and wrinkled his eyebrows: "Are you a ghost?" ”
Jing Hai slammed the table, and said angrily, rarely angry:
"Idiot, are you still stubborn and obsessed? As I said, you're going to be in a catastrophe, and your whole family is going to die! ”
The whole family was also cursed to death, and this time the innkeeper lost his previous arrogance.
He obviously realized that something was wrong, his gaze swept over us, and finally fell back to Jing Hai, and he hugged his fist at him:
"Master, I was wrong before, I had a bad attitude, I apologize to you. This...... What's going on here? Please help us, Master, save us! ”
Jing Hai snorted in his nose: "Now you know that you are afraid?" Why did you go earlier? It's not impossible to want the Buddha to save you, the Buddha's food and accommodation are all free of charge these days! ”
"No, nothing can be changed here." Duan Jiayin said suddenly.
She looked at me, then at the innkeeper father and daughter, and lowered her voice:
"If the situation changes, Xu Jie will never come back."
