Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Old Woman in the White Hat
This time, I didn't stop Sun Tuzi, but pretended to squint inadvertently and observed Bai Jing, waiting for her reaction.
Seeing that Bai Jing's eyes flickered a little and were silent, I shook my head secretly, "Although it's not the right time, I still have to say that I can't take over your business." ”
Bai Jing raised his head suddenly, Danfeng's eyes widened, and his expression actually revealed a bit of viciousness.
Sun Tuzi shrank his neck in fright: "You were born in June, and you said that you would turn your face?" ”
Bai Jing gritted her silver teeth, still with a fierce look, but turned to me and asked:
"I know you're trying to say that there is a difference between yin and yang, and you can't act on your own here. But I want to ask, if the 'people' here are pestering me, can I resist? For example, someone suddenly grabs your foot and neck for no apparent reason! ”
I was so excited that I looked at her feet, but all I could see was her straight, well-proportioned calves.
I was complacent and puzzled, but Bai Jing's two hands and ten fingers were already bent, as if they were ready to attack.
"Don't mess around yet......" I said busily seeing that she was about to have a seizure.
However, as soon as she said a word, she saw a round and hairy thing emerge from behind her.
"Single dog!" My eyeballs almost didn't fall off.
The one who poked his head out of the ghost behind Bai Jing was actually meat floss!
"Why did this guy come along?" Sun Lu couldn't cry or laugh.
"When I came out of the house, it followed ......"
I could only shake my head dryly, I never thought that the meat floss would come to such a place.
Compared to my and Sun Lu's reactions, Bai Jing did not relax her vigilance at all.
She glanced down at Rou Floss, still clasping her hands into claws, looking behind her with an awe-inspiring expression.
"Hehe, Meat Floss is the watchdog of the troublemaker, look at what scares you, what the hell is scratching your feet and neck......"
Sun Lu said tauntingly, and hooked his hand at the meat floss.
But Rou Floss just glanced at him, and ran to my feet with his tail down.
Sun Tuzi and I looked at each other, both a little stunned.
If you want to say that Rou Floss is a single dog, it is a 'self-cooked', but anyone who has been to my house and is friendly to me and Xu Jie is common, it will always wag its tail and go up to say hello, how can it be such a reaction to Sun Tuzi today?
The point is, how can it come here?
Bai Jing suddenly whispered: "I still feel that something is wrong, just now there was obviously a hand grabbing my ankle, I can't even tell the difference between a human hand and a dog." ”
I tilted my head to look at her calves, then at the meat floss, and said, "Find someone first, don't worry about the side first." In short, be careful. ”
Bai Jing nodded, and the three of them began to move towards the place where there was a bright light.
When I got to the front, I found that this was indeed a town-like existence.
It's just that the green fire you see from a distance is not the lights lit by the 'people' in the town, but the ghost fire that wanders between the houses.
As Sun Tuzi said, this is indeed a ghost town!
I asked Bai Jing: "Can you sense it now, where is Dou Dabao?" ”
Bai Jing shook her head, "I think you probably guessed my other identity, the truth is that with the help of some power, I can only track the location that I just came in." Your friend named Dabao must have stayed there, and as for where he has gone now, I'm sorry, my ability is limited. ”
I nodded, and was just about to beckon Sun Lu into the town, when Sun Lu in front of me suddenly let out a "huh" and turned around, as if he wanted to say something.
However, at the moment when he turned his head, I suddenly saw one side of his body, revealing half of his miserable white face!
My heart was excited, and an arrow stepped forward and gave him a "snap" in the mouth.
This time it was neither light nor heavy, and he happened to fan the head that had just turned his head back.
"What are you doing?" Sun Lu understands my personality in the end, so he won't be stunned by my slap.
He didn't turn his head back, he just moved his eyes and looked in front of him.
I walked up to him, followed his gaze, and saw the owner of the half face just now.
It was an old woman who was one-third shorter than Sun Tuzi.
The old woman was dressed in clothes similar to those of an ordinary old lady of her age, but she wore a white cloth hat on her head.
The hat looked like it had been burned by fire, and there were several holes in it. The key hat clearly did not fit her, and was worn crookedly on her head, covering about half of her face and one side of her eyes.
The old woman in the white hat stood there with her hands down, looking indifferently at the front with one of her eyes exposed, without making any movement.
Sun Tuzi was sobered up a lot by my slap, but he still asked me in a low voice:
"Where did this old lady come from? What do you want to do if she's blocking our way? ”
I didn't speak, I felt my hands on my body, put one hand in my pocket, pulled out a wad of bills, pulled out a few, and handed them to the old woman.
The old woman didn't blink an eyelid.
I pulled out a few more, and this time her eyelids blinked, but nothing else.
I frowned, simply handed over all the money in my hand, and whispered:
"Approaching the end of the year, I don't have the same knowledge as you. If you are not satisfied, be careful of chickens and eggs! ”
Before the words were finished, the old woman in the white hat suddenly stretched out a thin hand, snatched the money from my hand, and ran away without looking back. That posture is like a monkey in the scenic area, robbing tourists of things.
Sun Lu was dumbfounded for a long time, until the old woman ran out of sight, and then she made a mistake and looked at me in disbelief:
"This is probably the oldest robber I've ever seen. Lao Cheng can still succeed in robbing the road like this, it seems that this industry is really promising. ”
I said, "Don't be poor, you know that she is not human, but you dare to turn back in front of her, do you want to see how hard your life is?" ”
Sun Lu grinned awkwardly: "I remember, you said, 'Ghosts don't speak, don't look back', I just forgot about this stubble for a while." Besides, you can't blame me for this, who would have thought that the first thing I saw here was an old woman? ”
"Just remember next time." I gave him a thump on the shoulder.
The ghost is silent, don't look back.
This is one of the precepts recorded in the Broken Book.
As I have been living in the shadows for a long time, I have gradually gained a certain degree of understanding of these precepts that were originally uninformed.
When a person encounters a ghost head-on, if the other person does not say a word, then do not turn around. Once you turn around, it is possible for the other party to see the rise and fall of the yang fire in the living person.
This silent ghost may not have killed people at that time. But if the person who turns back is unlucky, and the yang fire is decaying, it is likely that it will always be secretly following you.
The person who is targeted may accidentally slip and fall by the river in the near future. But once you are coveted by ghosts, the other party pushes you when you are unlucky. This time, it was a small catastrophe, but it will become fatal.
Not to mention whether this kind of ghost who fell into the well really has the intention of harming people, but the old saying that 'the rich man dies, the beggar eats porridge' comes first, and they will always get some benefits to a greater or lesser extent.
Speaking of which, this is very similar to the ancient adage that 'wealth is not exposed'......
