Lao Qi said: "We don't have any spare rooms here. I will live in the same room as Lao Liu, and you will live in the house where Lao Wu lived. It stinks to the sky. How dare you live in a girl's house..."
Ruyi is actually afraid of these ghosts and gods. What's more, she experienced such things personally when she was six years old. Her mother even lost her life at the hands of ghosts because she was protecting herself.
For her, hatred is heavier than cowardice.
When I heard that the ghost by the lake had killed two people, the feeling of revenge came back to me.
Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "You two brothers, don't worry. I will take good care of myself and look after the water basin when I come and go. If I encounter something dirty, I will try not to involve you."
A girl said this. If the two men had anything else to say, they could only nod in agreement.
Ruyi didn't have many valuables with her, so Lao Liu and Lao Qi helped her tidy up the house.
Ruyi picked a few handfuls of wild flowers from the lakeside and placed them in Lao Wu's original house. He opened the windows for ventilation. Strangely enough, the smell dissipated quickly.
Lao Liu and Lao Qi kept marveling, saying that they had opened the windows and lit incense before, but it didn't work.
Ruyi smiled calmly and said: "Maybe as time goes by, the smell will naturally dissipate."
After tidying up the house, the three of them lit a fire and made food. After eating and drinking, the sky had darkened. The sixth and seventh elders told Ruyi not to go out at night, so that she could have a good rest, and they would shout if there was any situation.
After giving instructions to Lao Liu and Lao Qi, they returned to their room and poured two cups of small wine to warm themselves up.
Lao Liu sighed and said: "Lao Qi, don't you think this girl is not simple? She is so brave at the age of twelve or thirteen. Ever since my sister had an accident, no one dared to come to the lake. She actually
It’s really courageous that you dare to stay here.”
Lao Qi said: "That's right. Besides, I have tried every method to get rid of the stench in my sister's house, but it just can't be dissipated. Why does it smell bad as soon as she comes here?"
Lao Liu added: "Is it possible that she is a deity in the sky who came to cure this ghost?"
Lao Qi sat down on the bed and said, "It would be great if that were the case."
…
When Ruyi was the only one left in the room, she realized that she was too pushy. As soon as she closed her eyes, the terrifying face and ferocious expression of the scholar from back then appeared before her eyes.
She was too afraid to turn off the lamp. The oil lamp flickered with dim yellow light, and Ruyi's shadow was cast on the wall, which looked a bit scary.
I don’t know who is more powerful than the black smoker on my mother’s bed compared to this one.
However, she saw the Black Smoking Ghost with her own eyes, but Cui'er and Xiaowu didn't seem to have said that they had hit a ghost before they died. If they weren't ghosts, then what were they... Could it be that they really contracted a bad disease and died from treatment?
Ruyi gradually fell asleep amid random thoughts.
She had a dream, and the dream seemed to be dyed with ink, and it was pitch black.
In a corner of the darkness stood a strange woman, wearing the same blue-bottom floral skirt as herself, looking at him sadly.
"Who are you?" Ruyi asked softly.
The woman didn't answer, her figure swayed slightly, and gradually turned into a pool of black water. The black water made a roaring sound and gave off waves of stench.
Ruyi covered her mouth and nose, waving the stench away with her sleeves, and then a small white flower bloomed above the black water, and the stench was gradually replaced by a refreshing fragrance.
A wisp of light mist emerged from among the white flowers, in which the face of the strange woman could be vaguely discerned. The light mist circled around Ruyi and then flew higher and higher. Ruyi vaguely heard a thank you from a distance.
