Chapter Seventy-Three: The Ghost Girl

What a floating ghoul is, of course I know.

Legend has it that people who commit suicide by jumping into a river and are drowned in the water will become floating ghouls if they still have a grudge before they die. They wander where they have died, looking for people who wander alone on the shore to be substitutes.

Of course, there is another local saying, some people think that there is a debtor, and those floating ghouls will only look for those who killed them in their lifetime and had to commit suicide, of course I scoff at these legends, but fear of this kind of thing, everyone will have it, and it doesn't matter if you are very sensible or not.

The town of Montenegro is small, with a population of just over 700 people, but it has a long history, and as a result, there are many strange customs that have long been invisible to the big cities. Walking on the streets paved with brown stone slabs, I feel like I'm in a foreign land for no reason, and it's very refreshing.

I was moved to look back, the blood red of the sunset in the winter dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun, lonely sprinkled on the street I passed, pulling my shadow thin and long, so cool! That's why I like to travel around and feel the novelty of a strange place.

Sixth Street in Montenegro is on the east side of the town, and after a short walk, I counted the house numbers and found number 15, which was a large three-story wooden building, very old in style and very local.

I knocked on the closed door, but no one answered the door after waiting for a long time, and was about to put my ear to the door to hear if there was any movement inside, when the door creaked open.

I suddenly lost my center of gravity, my head couldn't help leaning forward, I only felt that I was touching a mass of objects, and I smelled the fragrance of my daughter's house like sandalwood in my nose.

"Ahh I'm sorry! ”

When I realized what the mass was, I hurriedly stopped my hands and took a few steps back with a red face.

Raising his head, he was about to see the owner of the majestic object clearly, when a middle-aged woman's voice came from the room crying hoarsely.

"Wenyi, who's out there? If you are here to stay at the hotel, make it clear to him that our family will not be doing business recently. Alas, what a wicked worker. The sadness that the voice could not hide.

"It's just a little scoundrel, see how I send him away."

The girl I hit had a sweet voice, but it was also hoarse, as if she had cried, and there was a slight anger, and the voice seemed familiar, like she had heard it somewhere.

Before I could raise my head, she grabbed a broom and struck at me.

Is there any mistake, why am I so decrepit lately, I haven't encountered anything good since I came to this town, is it really that as the saying goes, I'd rather hang myself than touch a ghost? If you touch a ghost, you will be unlucky for a lifetime?

"Stop, stop! Enough fighting! Seeing that she was beating endlessly, I grabbed the broom angrily and said loudly: "I didn't mean to, have you ever read a book, do you know the truth that those who don't know are innocent?" ”

The girl let out a "huh" and looked at me in surprise.

"Ahh It's you! She suddenly remembered something, and shouted, "Aren't you the fool who said I was going to kill myself by the river this afternoon?" ”

"You're a fool!"

I patted the dust off my body and looked at the rude girl.

Oh my God, at this glance, my whole body was stiff and my face was pale, and the girl standing next to me with a flushed face was not the floating ghoul I met in the afternoon?

"Ghost ...... Hell! ”

I let out a scream with a trembling throat, and ran away, completely throwing out my proud sanity. At the critical moment, you should still give your body to instinct and reason is a fart!

"Bastard! Where can a beauty like this girl look like a ghost?! You get back to me and make it clear! The girl chased after her.

"Don't come here, people like me are stupid, stingy and insidious, I can't go to hell, I can't go to heaven, and I'm not suitable to be a substitute for the dead!" Chased to the corner of the alley, I leaned against the wall and began to speak incoherently, "Big deal...... Next time, I'll introduce you to an honest person! ”

"Idiot, I don't want it!"

The female ghost was getting angrier.

I nervously smiled bitterly, "One is not enough?" Those two are good! What, you're still not satisfied? Hey, do you know what it means to have a ghost heart and swallow an elephant? ”

"Enough! Don't give you some color, you think you can start a dye shop! The female ghost came up, grabbed me by the collar, and shouted at me, "Look at me seriously, but you tell me where this girl looks like a ghost?" How can there be a ghost as beautiful as me in this world? ”

This ghost's vanity is so strong!

I suppressed my heart that was about to beat out of fear and slowly opened my eyes.

I saw the beautiful face of the female ghost, just three centimeters away from the tip of her nose, the beautiful face, because of the continuous undulation of her chest after the rush, pressed tightly on my chest, I could feel a soft and comfortable feeling, and even feel her body temperature, and the faint orchid breath on the face.

Huh, she's breathing? So this girl is not a ghost?

Oh, my God! What a shame......

My reputation for a lifetime of silence seems to have been ruined in this way, and I would have decided that a slender woman was a female ghost, and I was scared by her to be so respectful, and it was strange that I would not be laughed to death by those bad friends.

I can almost hear that guy Shen Ke covering his stomach, pointing at my face, and foaming at the mouth with a smile!

"What, you're dumb?" The girl was unforgiving and asked.

"You're ...... It's people. I replied embarrassedly.

"What else?" The girl is still aggressive.

"It's a beauty."

"And then?"

Is there a mistake that this is not satisfied?

I really don't know what her vanity is made of, it can be compared to the Mariana Trench.

"And ...... Well, your boobs are huge! I glanced down with my eyes.

Only then did the girl realize that her posture was very ambiguous and very disadvantaged.

"Wow! Pervert! She slapped me hard and stepped back.

"What's the matter with me?" I touched my face aggrievedly.

The girl blushed, glared at me, and said angrily: "It's all your fault, if you weren't talking nonsense, I wouldn't be angry like that, and I won't, and I won't...... Wow, tell me how to get married in the future! ”

"What? Blame me for that? ”

I found myself suddenly the subject of an idiot movie.

In front of an arrogant and unreasonable girl, even if you have superior brains and wisdom, you are worthless at all, Xiucai meets soldiers, you can't explain it clearly, it's better not to mess around with this kind of unreasonable woman, if there are any entanglements, then I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of Black Mountain Town in this life.

"Well, this, if you don't say it, I won't say it, absolutely no one knows. I think we'd better see you again...... Never again! After saying that, I couldn't wait to slip away.

The girl reached out and grabbed my backpack: "You're from out of town, aren't you?" ”

"Am I like a local?" I replied angrily.

"Of course not, the general IQ in our town is very high, how can anyone be as idiot as you." The girl smiled mysteriously, "It's already dark, and I don't think we can see each other again." ”

"Why?"

I frowned, I just happened to touch her breasts, it's not just because of this kind of thing, I am responsible for living and dying, right?

The girl tugged at my backpack and walked forward, "My family is the only one in the whole town, and although the residents here are not unhospitable, we have a tradition that the houses do not leave guests overnight. At night, there will be no one in Montenegro to take you in! She turned her head and smiled brightly at me, "So if you don't want to sleep on the street, I don't think we can see each other for the time being." ”

"The ground floor is where our family stays. The second and third floors are guest rooms, and recently it is the off-season for tourism, and the rooms are all empty, so you can stay in any room you want. The bathrooms are at the end of each floor and have hot water supply 24 hours a day. Also, the price of accommodation here is 300 yuan per day, and you check out at 12 o'clock at noon the next day, if you want to continue your stay, please say before 12 o'clock.

"We have three meals here, because there has been something at home recently, so they almost eat with us, and they don't open another stove, so they don't need you to pay. That's clear enough, right? What more questions do you have? The girl babbled as she opened a ticket and handed it to me.

"There's a problem." I took out the money and handed it to her and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The girl supported her head with her hands, pouted and asked, "Every time you stay in the hotel, you ask the owner's daughter what is her name?" ”

"yes, I have that hobby." I smiled slyly: "It's better to call someone else's name than to call her a female ghost." ”

The girl snorted and said in a low voice, "My name is Zhang Wenyi." ”

"I'm silent, hello." I wiped my hand on my clothes and handed it over, and Zhang Wenyi's little girl actually hit me hard.

"I'm not good, at least I'm not cultivated enough to shake hands with an idiot who calls me a female ghost."

"There's a reason for that......" I smiled awkwardly and continued, "Not long after I met you, I saw a group of strange people fishing for something in the water, and finally they picked up a female corpse, who was about the same size and dress as you, by the way, and ......"

I grabbed her left hand, looked at the white jade bracelet she was carrying on her wrist, and continued: "Also, she is wearing a jade bracelet on her hand, which is exactly the same as yours. ”

Suddenly, I felt the atmosphere around me change.

When I raised my head, I saw that Zhang Wenyi's whole body was trembling, her face was pale, she grabbed me by the collar, and shouted loudly: "You! What did you say?! Does she really have the same jade bracelet on her hand as mine? It's true? It seemed that she was so emotional that she couldn't stand still.

I nodded.

"Nope! It's not true, my sister is dead! My sister is really dead! ”

Zhang Wenyi cried and shouted, her face full of grief. She hit me desperately with her hands, tears kept flowing down her beautiful face, and finally she threw herself into my arms and cried even harder.

It turned out that the floating corpse was her sister.

By the way, Zhang Xiuwen is also from Montenegro Town, and her surname is Zhang. I always feel that she looks a little similar to Zhang Wenyi. And there are few people in this town, although Zhang is a big surname, maybe ......

I shook my head vigorously and decided not to say anything even if it might be true. For some reason, my poor conscience would have great pity for this girl who had embarrassed me and had headaches more than once.

The death of a sister has hit her enough, if Zhang Xiuwen is really her sister, then it is strange that she doesn't cry and bleed her eyes. At least, my fragile shoulders couldn't stand being beaten by her again.
