From everyone's screams, I knew that everyone present had seen the old woman. Because of their panicked screams, I began to feel very uneasy. Hu Zongren shouted, "Shut up, all of you, who are you?"
If you are scared, just hide to the side! As soon as I finished saying this, a group of men and women began to rush to the corner, where Hu Zongren and I first sat. Among the many people, only store manager Xie
The speed of retreating was a little slower. After all, she is the leader, even if she is a woman, she has to take charge of the overall situation. The next one is Xiaotian. Xiaotian only took a step back with a slight resistance, but stood still. The two of them were in front of me.
In Hu Zongren's eyes, he was much better than the bunch of men and women huddled in the corner for the Olympic Games.
Hu Zongren turned around and continued to look at the old woman. She was still in the same posture as before, and her eyes were still looking at me and Hu Zongren. Everything in front of her did not change her state in any way, but the way she looked at us made me feel
It's quite uncomfortable. This is not the first time that I have been stared at so hard by a ghost. When I was studying in the early years, my master told me that if a ghost stares at a person and does not change its gaze, then it is most likely that the ghost will stare at him.
There are three situations: first, it wants to say something to you, but doesn’t know where to start, or even forgets the way to express it. Second, it is demonstrating to you, watching your every move, and telling you what to do if
If you come any closer, I will kill you. This situation basically occurs when the ghost knows what we do and the fundamental purpose of our appearance in front of it, and it can be regarded as trying to protect itself. The last one
This one sounds more chilling, but it is analyzing which part of your body is the most vulnerable, and once it has the result, it will attack.
Of course I don't want it to be the third type. Although I always respect the old and love the young, if this old lady really pounces on me, I can still find a way to subdue her. By the way, her appearance does look like what we heard before.
He is at least about 70 years old. Unless such a ghost has been killed due to great injustice, leading to lingering resentment, I can still be a little scared, and most of the rest will quietly follow after some persuasion.
The second possibility is also relatively small. The fake Taoist priest before was proof. If he wanted to attack, the Taoist priest would probably not be able to walk downstairs. Besides, Hu Zongren and I were ordered to do so in danger, and the store manager Xie also
I never thought that we would be called here, so this old woman shouldn't know what we do, let alone our intentions, unless she also has the ability to distinguish occupations based on uniforms, but I don't think that's possible.
So only the first situation was left. Even so, I didn't see from the expression on its face that it wanted to talk to us, but more like it felt unhappy that so many of us were looking at her.
But one thing I can be sure of is that this ghost does not have any deep grievances. The previous reaction on the compass has told me this. She must have appeared here for other reasons than to harm someone here. I humbly
I asked Hu Zongren, "What should I do now?" Hu Zongren didn't look back. He just stretched his palm toward me and pressed it a few times, meaning "Don't say anything, I'm thinking." So I took advantage of this gap and asked me again.
I glanced at the compass in my hand. The reaction on the compass was not too violent, but it was slightly stronger than when I checked the seat at first. This proved that when I checked the seat, this scene was actually caused by this old woman.
Seeing it in its eyes, it also understands that we are here for it.
Soon Hu Zongren turned around, facing the direction of the old lady, then reached to his waist and took off his gossip bag, as well as his ugly fanny pack. I was about to ask him what he wanted to do,
Because based on my understanding of this guy, almost all of his treasures are in this pocket, including the charms that he usually prepares for emergencies. Once this bag is taken off, there is basically no difference between Hu Zongren and the group of clerks.
Except that he was a little bigger and would fight a little harder. Hu Zongren put everything on the dining table, then opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world, and walked slowly towards the old lady.
I especially hate Hu Zongren’s temperament of making decisions without consulting. I didn’t have time to stop him, so I slowly followed him, holding the compass in my hand, paying attention to the distance between Hu Zongren and me.
Paying attention to the movement of the compass, I deliberately let Hu Zongren's back block the line of sight between me and the old woman, because before that, the old woman's eyes were looking at me and Hu Zongren repeatedly, so even if I stood still,
There is no way to stay out of the situation. Every time he takes a step closer, the compass reacts more violently, and as Hu Zongren's footsteps hit the ground, the pointer suddenly bounces a little more violently like his heartbeat. It's a sign of alertness. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It has been trained over the years.
My ability to read the market tells me that although this old lady was puzzled by Hu Zongren's behavior and even thought he was not malicious, she was secretly on guard against him.
Just when I lowered my head and looked at the compass again, a very hoarse and old cry suddenly came from behind my ears. The cry was just like when I saw the Eighth Route Army in a patriotic movie when I was a child, shouting, comrades, go ahead.
A kind of cry, but it is much older and hoarse. I cannot use an accurate description to describe that cry. At that time, I could only subconsciously turn around and reach into my bag to grab the red rope, but before I could see it,
When I was clearing my back, I suddenly felt like something was holding my shoulders and pushing them down hard. I am 175cm tall, and the old woman was only 160cm tall when she was stretched to death, not to mention the possibility that she was old and had a wretched frame during her lifetime.
Just because of her hunched back, it is impossible for her to hold my shoulders and push me down. But the force is very strong. The feeling of being directly touched by the ghost is probably a sudden cold from the inside out. In the cold
With a power, you will know that you cannot resist it just by experiencing this power for the first time.
So before I had time to react, I fell to my knees with a plop on the tile floor. It was really painful for me to kneel like this. When I finally straightened my body, I wanted to see what was happening in front of me.
At some time, less than an inch from the tip of my nose, the old lady looked at me face to face. Although I have a single eyelid, my eyes are still big in the world of single eyelids. At least they are much bigger than Du Haitao. Plus, I was frightened.
In addition, my eyes would open wide instinctively, so I couldn't seem to see anything else in my big eyes, except that old face. At the same time, I also realized that she really pushed me to my knees.
She stood down, and then she began to frown and open her mouth. The center of her eyebrows and the bridge of her nose were stacked one on top of another due to the frown, much like a scallion pancake. From her wide-open mouth, she let out the same old roar as before,
But I only heard the sound, but I didn't notice a breath from her mouth that was so close.
All this happened in just one second. It was obvious that the shop assistants around me also saw all this. They screamed and exclaimed. Hu Zongren also came to save me at this time. I turned my back to Hu Zongren.
So I couldn't see his actions. I just heard the sound of wind in my ears. With the sound of wind, the old woman twisted and deformed in front of me, and then disappeared like smoke and dust. The sense of oppression on my body also disappeared, and right here.
Something happened. The right side of my face suddenly felt burning pain, and there was a sudden buzzing in my ears. Only then did I realize that Hu Zongren might have been hitting the old lady with the thunder talisman or the Nine Phoenix Jun talisman in his hand just now. In order to save me,
But the old lady dodged it, so he hit me directly in the face.
When I fell sideways, I saw that the roll-up banner and the
The "under maintenance" sign between the floors also fell down, and then there was a crisp sound of something falling to the ground in the middle of the stairs on the second floor not far from us.
Hu Zongren helped me up and asked me if the slap hurt. I told him that if I said it didn't hurt, you would think that I was a particularly hypocritical person. I will ask you to take this slap back after it is over. Already
A female shop assistant was so frightened by the previous scene that she cried. I really don’t know why she was crying. She was not the one who was hit and beaten. She shouted to go home. Hu Zongren shouted loudly that she was not allowed to open the door. He opened the door.
It can no longer be found.
Hu Zongren is really better at scaring women than me. When he yelled like this, the girl stopped crying. Hu Zongren said to me, let’s go up, it must have hid upstairs. After saying that, he was going to go upstairs and let me pull him away.
He said, "You don't want your life. Do you want to slap me again? Why don't you bring your fanny pack and gossip bag?" He said, "I'll try again. If it still doesn't work, just come down and get it."
Ask him what do you want to try? Hu Zongren looked at me and said, "I'll try to be like you, try not to be rough and take her away."
I was stunned for a moment. Hu Zongren was already walking in front. I told Hu Zongren that even if I don’t like to use violence, I don’t even bring self-defense tools. Just now I was holding a rope in my hand and was pressed down.
Stop it, aren't you looking for death by going up with your bare hands? Hu Zongren stopped and said to me, when she held you down just now, besides roaring, did she do anything else to you?
This really didn't happen, so I began to understand Hu Zongren's intention. Although I hated that this guy used me to test it, at least we knew at this moment that this old woman was preventing me from moving forward, because at that time I
I was very wary, and the compass and red rope in my hand showed that I didn't trust her. But even so, she was only using her own methods to stop me, and she didn't go too far to hurt me. You know, at that time
In that case, a real enemy would have killed me long ago.
So, I put down my bag, took out all the red rope, grains of rice and grave soil, and placed them on the dining table with Hu Zongren’s pile of rags. I only held a compass in my hand, because I needed a compass to tell me about ghosts.
The exact position of the old woman. Considering the way the old lady ran away upstairs at the end, I could tell that she knew that Hu Zongren’s shot was aimed at her, and knew that she was not his opponent. Furthermore, when she went upstairs, there was only movement but no sound.
Figure, which means she may not intend to let us see her again.
When I was about to follow Hu Zongren upstairs, Xiao Tian shouted behind me, let me follow you up. Although I don't know these things like you, I can try to communicate with grandma.
Hu Zongren glanced at me and then nodded to Xiaotian.
