Chapter 143 Festival Arrival
I turned my head like a panicked chicken, but I saw a woman standing behind me in a long, close-fitting dress, her hair hanging down to her chest, looking at me with a smile, but this person was Xie Ning.
I don't know why she appeared here, but on second thought, perhaps it was because of the outcome of my discussion with Lu Yao, it's just that I'm not sure if she came with me or followed Xie Chengfeng.
I hurriedly stood up and reached out to wipe the stained blood on my pants leg, luckily my pants today are dark colored, so I can't see anything on it.
Xie Ning gently patted me, said Tan Xi, bold enough ah.
I don't have the heart and her gossip about this, just looked around the other people in the store, afraid that they see the scene here. Xie Ning gently patted me and said Tan Xi, you should go, leave this place to me, I'm an expert in killing and burying corpses.
I nodded and glanced at Xie Chengfeng, all the blood on his face was gone, one hand tightly covering the stomach that I stabbed, one hand propped up on the table, his eyes staring deathly at Xie Ning and me.
The first time I stabbed someone with my hands, my heart was so emotionally complicated that even my hands and lips were trembling constantly due to nervousness. But I have to say, this day's events, I later recalled, but also some admiration for Xie Chengfeng, was stabbed if it was me, then I must have long howled, but he was full of grudges looking at us, clenched his teeth and endured the pain, did not say a word out. These are my later understanding, people like them, life and death is not too important, even if they die in the hands of others, and the real society of morality and propriety are not related. I don't blame God or others. I only blame myself for not being as ruthless as the other party.
This is also the only time that someone used the word "ruthless" to evaluate me. But I don't care, in this kind of you die me die fight, but I feel that this is the most decisive time I did.
I glanced towards Xie Ning, also not paying attention to Xie Chengfeng, stabilized my breathing, and hurriedly left the store. When I was leaving, I also looked back and saw Xie Ning sitting nonchalantly in my previous position, facing Xie Chengfeng with a rather playful look.
I didn't have the heart to wander around in the street, casually found a car to go up and was ready to go home. The driver looked at me, and jokingly said, brother look at you hot ah, head sweat are enough to take a shower.
I did not pay attention to him, lifted up the clothes on the face and wiped a little, and then realized that I was indeed full of cold sweat. My heart what thoughts have turned, if Xie Chengfeng died on the spot in someone else's store how to do, or died in the hands of Xie Ning, Xie Ning and how to deal with his body. There should be cameras in that store, would they capture footage of me stabbing him? If I was checked the water meter, sent to prison that kind of place, to not as good as first head first head to die to pain.
I returned home, there is still no one in the room, even if I want to find someone to talk to, venting the mental thoughts can not, finally can only sit alone on the sofa, look at the TV news from time to time to see if there will be any special report.
I think I finally understand the feelings of those murderers, I just don't know Xie Chengfeng killed those people to make body dolls, he is a kind of what kind of mentality.
That whole day, I was very conflicted in my heart, even hungry, not even in the mood to eat, wait until the evening, eight generations of ancestors still did not come back, I do not know where he went to look for blood peroxide.
I opened the lights, the room in addition to the sound of the TV, a little bit of ringing is not, I just remembered the hanging ghost thing, busy two ghost mounds out, lift the red paper above, shouted at the inside, and so on for a while, only to see the hanging ghost shake slowly appeared beside me, I look at his appearance, the body is somewhat transparent, as if there is no entity, which only then know that the brother-in-law said it is not true, and his situation is also It is not optimistic.
I don't want him to see me, immediately cried, tears from the eyes fall down, scared me busy comfort him, said you don't worry, something later, you look at this new ghost mound there is no problem, no problem if you go in to the first recuperation.
I comforted him like a living person, but he cried more and more, making me a little headache. I thought for a while, while he was still resting now, so I could ask who made them like this, and by the way, I wanted to know the whereabouts of Tintin and the others.
He gestured towards me, that gesture I have seen before, a moment to react, asked him, you mean you into this appearance, is Ding Ding made?
He was busy nodding, I was puzzled, Tintin made him look like this for no reason. But I just wanted to open my mouth to ask, and then I came back to my senses, I seem to have seen this state of the hanged ghost once before, only that it didn't look so miserable at that time. It was the time when Ding Ding played the bowstring to subdue the ghost.
I rationalized my thoughts, at that time in this house, should come a lot of ghosts and monsters, and then Ding Ding have no choice, in order to survive, finally can only use this trick, hanging ghosts in their side, will certainly be affected, just did not expect to be hurt so badly.
I will I this idea and hangman said, hangman nodded fiercely, sure I this inference is right.
I also asked him, what kind of person came to find your trouble.
Hanged ghost face changed, suddenly annoyed, two hands sleeve up a wipe, hand dancing, mouth a move, like in the curse, I looked at half a day did not understand. He looked at my incomprehension and became anxious, then his eyes rolled, he made a flute playing appearance, and his body twisted like a snake again.
I was shocked in my heart and asked offhandedly, is it Xia Ruxuan?
The hanged ghost saw me say it, then sent a breath, followed by a busy nod.
I grow mouth, half a day did not come back from this news, I and eight generations of ancestors and even Xie Chengfeng and brother-in-law are suspected over, but that is to kill me I will not think of Xia Ruxuan body to go.
In that case, at that time in the old mansion, the sphinx tree eighty percent is also destroyed by him. And I now think carefully, I returned to the old home, although the house is everywhere in the water, obviously before the fire truck to rescue a hand, but can burn the house fire, how big, even if I rushed back to the time to spend a lot of time, but it may be able to see the fire truck to put out the fire situation. But the arrival of the time, in addition to the ghosts and monsters around, there is no one else. And on the street outside the house, the water stains had completely dried up.
According to this inference, Xia Ruxuan called me at that time, the human face tree should have been destroyed for a period of time, just I do not understand what purpose he did so, the human face tree to put it in an extreme, that is the only guarantee that he can live ah!
And thinking of this, I can't help but worry about the little ghost, since the beginning, about the tree of human face and the old mansion, I haven't heard him mention a word to me, because we don't even have the chance to contact each other anymore. When he was with Xia RuXuan, it is not likely that other things happened, although in the end they left by ghost car, but the little ghost's bell fell outside the door, maybe it is not an accident at all, maybe the little ghost at that time, and Xia RuXuan, there was a dispute between the two people, the two people moved, which led to the loss of the little ghost's bell.
Although I'm not sure how capable Xia Ruxuan is, but from the situation that beautiful snakes are at his beck and call, he more or less still has some means. And now that he was put on the hostile side to come, I then remembered that after we first met him on the train, he later disappeared out of thin air.
Previously, we hadn't even put it on our minds, although we had always felt odd at the time, but learning about his identity, coupled with the fact that what happened that night at the Xie Family Shrine was just too much, made it pale into insignificance in comparison.
I used to just want to be nice to him, his affairs, his growth, gave me enough reason to give him some good life. But I couldn't imagine that the culprit behind this last series of changes would be him!
Now it seems that he, a yinhata, who originally appeared on the train in a suspicious manner, went there specifically to meet me? Then how did he know I would appear on the train?
The things about Xia Ruxuan in my mind all at once tumbled out, as if they were about to explode, causing me to agonize. The Hanged Ghost looked at me like this and even reached out to pet my head like a dog, as if trying to comfort me.
I took a long breath in, and then exhaled out again, gathered my emotions, told the Hanged Ghost that I was fine, and finally explained that he had gone inside the ghost mound, and then went to wash my face in cold water, wanting to calm myself down a bit.
But I stood in the bathroom, looking at the mirror, suddenly heard a sound like thunder coming from outside the house, the sound came too suddenly, scared me directly a shiver.
I do not understand what happened, walked to the window, squinting to look out, now the time has passed twelve o'clock, the street a silhouette are not, that rows of street lamps, suddenly as if the contact is poor, a flicker. In this night bright and dark. Looks particularly scary.
I gazed towards the outside, suddenly bang, the street lamps in the street unexpectedly all extinguished, outside the house on the street, suddenly plunged into a darkness.
Immediately after, a cluster of clusters of green ghost fire, shaped like a lotus flower, suddenly bloomed along both sides of the road, as if guiding the lights, like a hundred ghosts on the night of the same night to see the scene. I raised my eyes and looked towards the city, and as far as I could see, all the places I could see were coated with a green and ghostly color.
I looked at the scene in front of me, suddenly even my breath was shortened, the streets and alleys, one by one, the ghostly shadows, suddenly appearing and disappearing, slowly walked out. I was astonished in my heart, this was clearly the sign of the Ghost Festival described by Ding Ding!
But there was clearly one more day to go before July 15th! I was afraid that I had miscalculated the date, and I was busy running to look at the calendar, but once I flipped it, I was dumbfounded.
Ding Ding was right, the 15th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar, the Mid-Yuan Ghost Festival. But he looked to tell me one thing, July 14, as if the New Year's Eve for the Chinese New Year, the legend of this day, the ghost door opens, the group of ghosts return!
