On New Year's Eve, there was no hustle and bustle of fireworks and no bustle of people in previous years.
This was the calmest and most sparsely populated New Year’s Eve I have ever seen.
Ethan Lei was biting a chicken wing and crossing his legs. Obviously, he was more comfortable than me.
"This year has been really easy." He smiled to himself.
"Is it easy?" I glared at him, patted his leg, pointed to the door and said, "You can just lure that thing here and ignore it. Of course it's easy for you."
"Hey, aren't they just a few Yang Zhigui!" He shook his head indifferently and didn't take it to heart.
"Besides, it was the spear that caused it, it has nothing to do with me."
In the past two days, Li Shuangjing said that he had seen many Yang ghouls traveling at night, and he didn't know what their purpose was. He had to suspect that Lei Yisen had attracted those Yang ghouls.
But then again, as a Taoist priest, Lei Yisen still pretended to be calm when there was such a thing as a Yang ghoul in the world, which made me a little confused.
He stood up and shook his head: "I know what you are thinking, but since such a thing has appeared, they must have a purpose. If we don't even know the purpose, and we act rashly, won't we just alert the snake?"
I nodded and thought about it, what he said made sense.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, I don't know what to do. In previous years, the village was very lively at this time, and I don't know how to celebrate the festival this year.
After thinking about it, I took out my mobile phone and called Wei Ziqing. However, surprisingly, it rang several times and no one answered the phone.
Going to bed so early?
I was suspicious, but within a few breaths, my phone rang.
"Going to bed so early?"
"Brother Xiao, you almost scared me to death just now." He gasped for air, and after a while he continued: "A man came to the village in the past two days and was wandering around the mountains at night. I secretly followed him and took a look."
"Stranger?" I was stunned.
He nodded repeatedly and said that the man was a bit weird. He didn't go into the village at night and only wandered around the gutter. He didn't know what he was looking for.
As he spoke, he smiled and said that he was almost discovered just now, but fortunately he ran back quickly.
In fact, it could be considered that Wei Ziqing was inexperienced, or maybe I made such a call out of nowhere.
In that pitch-black night, Wei Ziqing relied on his memory and quietly followed him. However, he was frightened by a burst of singing on his cell phone and almost lost his soul. Without caring about anything else, he ran back in a hurry.
"You are so courageous, aren't you afraid that you will be a murderer without batting an eyelid?" When I said this, I couldn't help but think of the evil way back then, which was about catching ghosts and seizing the Yin Qi.
So, what is the purpose of such a person running across the sewer in the middle of the night?
"I just want to see what that person's purpose is. I won't talk about it for now. I need to talk to the village chief about this matter.
After saying this, he hung up the phone and ran to the village, thinking of telling the village chief about this matter.
"What's wrong?" Lei Sen turned his head: "Why do you kill people without blinking an eye?"
I shook my head and briefly recounted the contents of the phone call. I guessed that it might be someone from outside who had fled to the village.
"Oh." He nodded and said nothing more. Obviously, he didn't take it to heart.
After sitting on the sofa for a long time, I glanced at the time and saw that it was already around one o'clock in the night. I yawned, got up, and prepared to go back to the bedroom.
Li Shuangjing went to the bathroom to take a shower. Just as she turned on the light, she heard a muffled sound coming from the window. After a moment, the lights in the room suddenly went out.
"There's a power outage?" Lei Sen blinked excitedly, wondering if a ghost was coming.
I shook my head. It was obviously not the case. I heard a faint sound coming from the window just now. I thought that this was the cause of the power outage.
"Hey, it's already this hour, and there are still ghosts haunting you?" Leisen pointed out the window.
Looking along the way, I happened to see a blue light flickering in and out.
"That's wrong!" He stood up, took two steps forward, opened the window, and muttered, "Why is that man half-dead?"
That blue light spot is obviously a ghost. However, the ghost appears and disappears, which means that the person is about to die and still has one breath.
If it was a normal death, such a situation should not occur. After a long while, he shook his head and said that it looked like another evil ghost would appear.
For people who died abnormally, there is a high chance that the ghosts will become stronger because they want revenge.
"You're in trouble again!" he shouted toward the bathroom.
Then, he stretched out, glanced at the master standing in the corner, and fell into deep thought.
When the power went out and there was no hot water, Li Shuangjing pushed the door open and complained: "It's really annoying."
"Master, go to sleep." Lei Sen muttered to himself and pulled the master toward the bedroom.
Of course, he also knew that this was just for his own entertainment.
"It's Chinese New Year, let it calm down for a while. Even if you want to take revenge, this is not the right time." I warned her.
Li Shuangjing nodded and returned to the bedroom. Within a few breaths, a figure came out, emitting blue light.
I returned to the bedroom, yawned, lay down on the bed, and flipped through the information called "Yulou".
However, these information are all written by netizens on the Internet themselves, and they don’t even know their true gender or age.
There are two choices, one for a man and one for a woman. Each netizen will vote to decide whether the person is a man or a woman.
Some people say that the word "Yulu" has a poetic and picturesque style, and should be the name of a quiet, sad woman.
Some people also say that the word "Yulu" means freshness, refinement, and isolation from the world. It should be chosen by a free and easy, sad man.
I couldn't help but laugh, it's just an online name, what else is there?
The two were deadlocked in voting, so I couldn't help but smile and join in the fun.
It is said that the word "Yulu" is not complete and should be paired with the word "smoke", "Yu Lou". Since they all have one thing in common, "sorrow", it can be regarded as "bitter Yanyu Lou". Comparatively
I tend to have a melancholic temperament in men, so I think I am a man.
However, after thinking about it, Hu Mao said at that time that this person had called him, so it was more likely that he was a man.
I don’t know if these netizens are too idle or if they regard the gender of “Yulu” as a serious matter. After I said this, the buzzing sound of my cell phone didn’t stop. It kept ringing for about ten minutes.
Only then did I see that the number of likes was as high as about 30,000, and all the comments were "reasonable."
"Xiao Chen!"
Li Shuangjing's voice came from outside the living room. I was stunned. There were two blue figures in front of me.
He stood up and opened the door. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After staring for a long time, he calmed down and asked doubtfully: "Captain Hu?"
