Not long after she left, Wu Hao turned his head blankly and asked me: "Brother Yan, what did Sister Qing just say? Has anyone died in this house? Will we encounter ghosts at night?"
I said I've died, why are you still afraid of ghosts when you hang out with me?
Wu Hao said that is different. I usually listen to you and even if I am scared, it is not that serious. But this does not mean that I want to really meet a ghost! If I really do, you are more awesome than a ghost.
I guess it's okay, but I don't have anything to protect myself. What if it hurts me?
I also borrowed the donkey to go down the slope. I told Wu Hao that you are afraid of this matter. What will you do after you go up the mountain? There may be more wild ghosts on the mountain and more strange things you will encounter. You have to be really afraid. No tomorrow
Just buy a plane ticket and go back. It just so happens that I'm also afraid that something will happen to you. Anyway, Qingqing is here, so you don't have to worry about me.
But as soon as I said this, Wu Hao shook his head and said no. Since I am here, I must accompany you to finish this road. If I leave, what if something happens to you?
Son, then I will never forgive myself in this life.
I was just about to speak, but Wu Hao waved his hand and said to me, Brother Yan, you don’t have to say anything. I know you have good intentions, but you are also afraid that you will hurt me. What should I say? Although I don’t have much ability, at least I can
If I can find someone to run errands for you, I can do my part to some extent, and it can be considered as an explanation for myself and the relationship we have had since childhood.
Oops, I don't know how to persuade him after he said these words. Maybe it's because I've been alone for too long, and I can't stand the sensationalism now.
So I changed the topic and told Wu Hao that we won’t talk about this anymore. I have something to ask you. What did you two say when you and Qingqing went out just now? Why did she treat me like this after she came back?
What about attitude?
Wu Hao said it was nothing. She asked me about Yingying, so I told her about the relationship between you two. As for why she has this attitude, I don't know.
I widened my eyes and asked him, are you talking to Qingqing about this piece of shit when you have nothing to do? Wu Hao said it’s nothing. You two are not shameful. Besides, don’t you and Qingqing have nothing to do with each other?
I said you are nagging like a green tea bitch? Do you have any thoughts about Qingqing? If it weren’t for our relationship, I would have suspected that you just told Qingqing on purpose to alienate her.
I'm done creating opportunities for myself to chase Qingqing. Do you think this is the case?
Wu Hao said it was impossible. I have no interest in Sister Qing. I just think she is good-looking. Besides, I am about to get married. How can I have the time to talk about such things?
What he said shocked me. He was about to get married? Why had I never heard him mention it? And I never saw his fiancée call him.
Before I could ask, Wu Hao said I'm a little hungry. Brother Yan, you sit here and wait for me. I'll buy some food and we can drink. Sister Qing won't let us go out at night, so we'll sit here too much.
Not interesting.
He went out directly without giving me a chance to speak. I sat on the chair in confusion for a long time. After being stunned for a while, I started to feel heavy again.
It's not because of what Qingqing said. In fact, I am quite selfish. Whether people in this village die or not has nothing to do with me. What worries me is actually the middle-aged man just now.
To this day, I don’t know who he is, nor what the stone is for, nor what dangers I will encounter if I do what he says.
But I had to agree, because I had no other choice. This feeling of powerlessness was the most uncomfortable. I felt like a puppet on strings, being led by the neck from beginning to end. Even those who refused
There are no rights.
I had already thought about it. When I got to the mountain, I would find Taoist Meng. If he couldn't help me, then I would find a way to get rid of Yingying and Wu Hao and go find the stone that the middle-aged man was talking about.
As for whether it is dangerous or not, I have no time to think about it. Anyway, I will die anyway, but it doesn't matter if I die alone. I really can't accept Wu Hao and Qing Qing getting involved.
Wu Hao came back not long after, buying a lot of food and two dozen beers. Just as he was about to put the wine on, the lights in the room suddenly went out.
Then there were several men scolding outside. I was stunned for a moment, and Wu Hao also muttered a little strangely. What's going on? There's a power outage?
He stuck his head out and looked outside for a long time, and then said, well, it seems that there is really a power outage. The house opposite is fighting with the landlord, and they are all cursing when the lights go out.
I said it’s okay, let’s leave it at that. Anyway, the moonlight is quite bright tonight and I can’t eat it in my nose.
Wu Hao said that was so awkward, why not turn on the flashlight on your phone? Did you forget what Qingqing said? And the power won’t come for a while. What if the phone runs out of battery and goes up the mountain tomorrow?
Wu Hao said that was true, so the two of us moved the table to the window, and while eating, we chatted about the past.
I also asked her who her fiancée was and when she was going to get married. Wu Hao said that I had never met her. His father introduced her to the daughter of a city bureau chief. Anyway, he didn’t like her, and the girl probably didn’t like him either. She was probably getting married.
After that, everyone played their own game.
I understood what he said. It's a typical marriage. It's the kind where the two are well-matched and don't consider the feelings of their children at all. No wonder the two of them don't have much contact even after they get married.
The two of us were chatting and drinking. Originally, I wasn't a good drinker. After a few bottles of beer, I felt a little confused. Around nine o'clock, I heard a sudden knock on the door outside the house.
Maybe because of the alcohol, I forgot what Yingying said and told Wu Hao to go see who was knocking on the door.
Wu Hao might have been a little confused because of the drink, so he said yes without thinking, then stood up and walked towards the door unsteadily.
But just when he was about to open the door, I suddenly reacted and quickly shouted, don't open the door!
But it was too late by this time. Wu Hao opened the door, turned his head to look at me in a daze, and asked me what I shouted just now.
I didn't speak, but tensed up all my nerves and looked at the door nervously.
There was a woman's figure outside the door. With the faint moonlight, I took a closer look and found that it was the boss's wife standing there.
I was relieved, but I was still a little confused, so I walked over and asked her, "Sister, why are you here?"
She said hey, isn't this a power outage? I'm here to bring you candles.
Only then did I realize that she was holding two candles in her hands. She was walking into the house while talking. I then asked her: "Didn't you send my eldest brother to the hospital? Why are you back so late?"
The landlady said, the doctor said that he had nothing serious, it was just a skin injury, and he would be hospitalized for observation for one night. Your elder brother was worried about the house, so he asked me to come back first. It happened to be a power outage, so I thought of sending you some candles first.
, come on, brother, let me light it for you.
She put the candle on the table and held a lighter as if to light it. However, I remembered what Qingqing said and ran over to stop her. I told her no, sister, we were going to bed and there was no need for this candle.
"Hey, it's okay. I feel a little light when I sleep."
She pointed to the room opposite us: "Look, aren't the guests opposite us also lighting up?"
I glanced in the direction of her finger.
The windows were a little dirty and looked quite blurry. The weak candlelight swayed in the gloomy moonlight, which looked a little weird.
