After Qiao Xiang whispered what happened tonight and her dream to Bai Youyou, she once again realized the fact that her sister was dead, and overwhelming sadness swept over her. She covered her mouth and shrank.
I cried muffledly on the bed, crying so hard that I was almost out of breath.
Bai Youyou sat next to Qiao Xiang, listening to her soft sobs, and inexplicably thought of her mood when she saw Xiaochi's accident, so she handed Qiao Xiang a handkerchief and didn't ask her any questions.
No need to ask.
After all, although Qiao Xiang was sad, she made things very clear.
Bai Youyou also thought of a folk story her grandfather told her when she was a child.
The name of that folk tale is called Xiong Ga Po. It tells the story of a pair of sisters whose parents went away from home. Xiong Ga Po put on human skin and pretended to be a grandmother to take care of them, and even slept with the two sisters at night.
Son, who knew that when my sister woke up in the middle of the night, she heard Xiong Gapo chewing something, and that thing was her sister's finger...
It is very similar to what happened to Qiao Xiang and Qiao Yan tonight.
There are many versions of the ending of this story, but most of them are that evil does not prevail over good. The sister finally subdued Xiong Gapo with her own intelligence...
When thinking about this, Bai Youyou suddenly had an idea in his mind.
If the killing methods here are based on folk tales, then as long as she clearly knows the plot direction of the story, can she avoid most of the dangers?
For example, Qiao Yan Qiao Xiang,
Their story is Xiong Ga Po.
Let’s take her as another example. If nothing else happens, her story must be a ghost story, right?
As for the ghost holding the lantern just now, should it be the real and fake sisters?
Bai Youyou thinks this is very possible. Perhaps Youdu is a city composed of many strange folk stories, and they have become part of the strange stories from the moment they entered.
She just didn't know if there was a script, so Bai Youyou thought she might be able to look for it tomorrow.
If everything is as she thought,
Then this task was much simpler than she first thought.
…
It will dawn soon.
The light of the morning sun shines on the ground, illuminating the vague outline of the entire courtyard. As the first wisp of white smoke flies into the sky, Youdu gradually becomes lively.
The sound of doors opening, footsteps, and voices slowly gained popularity.
Qiao Qing, Qiao Xi, Qiao Dong, and Qiao Mo woke up from their sleep, smelling the scent of sandalwood in their noses, and what happened yesterday quickly came to mind.
They found their grandmother and grandfather.
This is my grandmother's and grandfather's home.
very nice.
They won't have to move around anymore in the future.
Grandma opened the door, held Qiao Yan's hand, and said carelessly: "Your sister said she went to the bathroom last night and didn't come back all night. I fell asleep and didn't care. I don't know if she fell."
We're in the toilet, I'll go take a look first, and you'll wait in the yard."
"good."
Qiao Yan blinked blankly. After her grandmother left, she walked straight towards Bai Youyou's room, and happened to meet Qiao Qing opening the door.
"Little sister, you got up so early today."
Qiao Qing was in a good mood, with a smile on her face.
Qiao Yan's eyes were neither sad nor happy, but a stiff smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Sister, aren't you early too?"
Qiao Qing didn't notice anything was wrong with Qiao Yan. She took two steps forward to Qiao Yan's side and rubbed Qiao Yan's head. But as soon as her hand touched Qiao Yan's head, she felt like she had hit a ball of ice.
The cold made her shiver, and she retracted her hand suddenly: "Little sister, how long have you been standing in the yard, your whole body is so cold?"
As she said this, she was about to touch Qiao Yan's face. Qiao Yan turned her head and avoided it: "It didn't take long. I just went to bed too early last night, so I woke up early this morning."
"oh."
Qiao Qing finally realized that Qiao Yan was a little strange, but she didn't think much about it. She turned around and frowned suspiciously: "Then why are you standing here? Isn't this Miss Bai's room?"
Qiao Yan grinned: "I just wanted to wake you up."
"Fifth sister went to the toilet last night and didn't come back until this morning. Grandma has already gone to the toilet to look for her. I want to find out if she went to the wrong room and slept in your room."
"Is there anything else?"
Qiao Qing's attention was instantly diverted.
…
Qiao Xiang cried for most of the night because of Qiao Yan's death. It wasn't until she was tired from crying the next morning that she fell asleep. However, she was still half asleep. She didn't open her eyes until there was a sound outside the door.
, looking at Bai Youyou who was sitting next to her and reading a book, she was slightly stunned. She couldn't figure out what night it was for a moment, but soon, what happened last night came to her heart, and grief hit her again.
, but this time before the tears fell, she heard Qiao Yan's voice and was immediately stunned.
"I-am I dreaming?"
She looked at Bai Youyou in confusion.
Bai Youyou didn't sleep all night. She spent the whole night thinking about the strange folk legends she had heard. When it was about to dawn, she took out a book of strange stories and started reading.
She also heard Qiao Yan's voice.
But in this place full of ghosts, it is normal for people to become ghosts after death, so she knew that Qiao Yan would probably become a ghost too.
"It's not a dream."
Hearing Qiao Xiang's question, Bai Youyou closed the book: "The person outside is indeed Qiao Yan, but I can't say whether he is alive or dead Qiao Yan."
The dead come back alive.
That's probably going to hurt people.
There are plots like this in many weird and strange stories.
The conversation outside the door continued.
Seeing Qiao Xiang's suddenly excited expression, Bai Youyou added: "Don't take any chances and think that you were too nervous last night. You just need to remember to be wary of her at all times. Otherwise, you will
Probably the next Qiao Yan."
Qiao Xiang was indeed imagining that Qiao Xiang was not dead. It was all just her overthinking. When Bai Youyou said this, she suddenly became nervous again.
"Do you mean my little sister will harm me?"
"I'm not harming you."
"That is……"
"Harm all of you."
Bai Youyou said solemnly.
But Qiao Xiang thought about it, but she didn't want to believe that Qiao Yan would harm them. After all, their relationship was so good that Qiao Yan would not be able to harm them even if he died.
With this idea in mind, Qiao Xiang gave Bai Youyou a few perfunctory words, then plucked up the courage and walked towards the door impatiently. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Qiao Yan standing at the door intact.
Next to Qiao Yan stood her eldest sister Qiao Qing.
Hearing the creak of the door opening, the two of them looked in her direction in unison.
