Although it is already midnight, the teahouse is still very lively and lively. I don’t know why, but I hate this atmosphere very much...
"Selling dog meat on sheep's head!"
I cursed and walked away from the teahouse. I stopped a taxi on the side of the road and went straight to Rouge Street.
Twenty minutes later, I stood at the intersection of Rouge Street. Looking at the long, narrow and dark street, I felt a little strange...
This street is actually named after the rouge shop. It seems to have a history of at least seventy or eighty years. But logically speaking, the rouge shop only existed in the Republic of China and should have disappeared long ago. Why does the female ghost say that this street is the deepest?
Is there a rouge shop somewhere?
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so I decided to go in and have a look.
As a result, just as I was about to take a step, a burst of women's laughter suddenly came from deep in the side street. It sounded like there were quite a lot of people...
"hehe…"
"hey-hey…"
"whee…"
Looking at the deserted Rouge Street, I frowned tightly. Listening to the laughter coming out of thin air, a peaceful and peaceful picture emerged in my mind uncontrollably...
On a bustling little street, young women in twos and threes hold hands with each other, jumping leisurely through the dazzling array of street shops...
When I took my thoughts back, I saw a dark, desolate and deserted street in front of me. This contrast made me feel a touch of sadness inexplicably.
After calming down a little, I carefully walked into the small street following the faint laughter. At this moment, I suddenly felt a hand put on my shoulder, and my body stopped.
I hurriedly turned around, but as soon as I turned halfway, I was forcibly pulled to the corner of the street.
I looked back suddenly and was stunned.
A thin man wearing glasses was looking at me with a smile.
I stared at him for a long time and murmured:
"Yunfei..."
Yunfei adjusted his glasses,
"Why, you haven't seen me or recognized me for half a month?"
I felt happy and patted him hard on the shoulder.
"You polite scum, why are you here?!"
Yunfei put away his smile and looked cautiously at Rouge Street, then pulled me under the streetlight of the street next to him.
"I accompanied Wan Chen to the teahouse tonight. I didn't expect to see you coming out of the teahouse in a hurry. I was worried that something would happen to you, so I followed you all the way. What are you doing here?"
"A ghost place? Do you know this street very well?"
I looked at Yunfei suspiciously.
"You've lived in Jiangcheng for so many years and you don't even know about Rouge Street? This is a notoriously dark place in Jiangcheng!"
"Underworld?!" I lost my voice.
Yunfei adjusted his glasses and said slowly:
"This rouge street was built in 1920 during the Republic of China. It was a famous flower field at that time. Do you know the flower field?"
I glared at him,
"Understood! It's where the red lanterns are hung."
"Yes, it is said that this place was comparable to the eight major alleys in the capital. You can see this from the two-story buildings on both sides of the street, because the people who came in and out were all women who were heavily smeared with rouge, hence the name Rouge.
Pave the streets.”
"Coincidentally, there is a shop selling rouge at the very end of Rouge Shop Street. The proprietress is a very kind person. The rouge in her shop only sells to women in this street, even though she is also a poor woman.
We don’t laugh at the age of prostitution, but after all, those who do this kind of business are hard-luck women.”
"Over time, Rouge Shop became a place for these women to express their feelings. It was a comfortable place, but after all, that era was divided by warlords and wars continued, so the good times did not last long, and the entire street was baptized by the flames of war..."
"Wait a moment…"
I couldn't help but interrupt, looked at him nervously and asked:
"What does the baptism of war mean?"
Yunfei put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the gloomy night, muttering:
"Bloodbath! Rumor has it that not a single woman in the entire street came out alive! Since then, women's laughter and crying have often been heard on this street, and there's more than one person..."
I looked at him dumbfounded. Although I had a premonition in my heart, when he said these words, I couldn't help but tremble all over.
Bloodbathed the entire street? No one came out alive?
I really can't imagine that terrible scene. Thinking of this, my heart suddenly sank.
"If this is the case, the ghosts of those women are likely to have great grievances. They will not fall into reincarnation unless they enter the underworld. They have been entrenched in this street for decades. Hasn't Rouge Street become a ghost nest?!"
Yunfei nodded noncommittally,
"It's very possible, and it's no surprise that all of them are ghosts. If you think about it again, there are so many ghosts entrenched here. How could the ghosts in this area not know about it? But they didn't come to lure the ghosts. What does this mean?
"
I lowered my head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood what he meant, and murmured in disbelief:
"You mean... you don't even dare to come?!"
Yunfei didn't speak, but his expression told me that it was what I thought.
I couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning. The ghost in charge of this area should be Hei Laoba. Could it be that he didn't even dare to come?
Yunfei seemed to have seen my thoughts and said:
"Don't worry, it's definitely not Ba Ye. Do you really think that Ba Ye is just an ordinary ghost responsible for attracting souls? You are too naive."
My eyes lit up, and I was about to say something, but Yunfei made a silent gesture to me and pointed at the top of his head. I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood what he meant.
Gods can communicate with ghosts and gods, and they must not talk randomly.
"By the way, you haven't told me what you came here for?" Yunfei asked.
I told what happened tonight. After listening to it, Yunfei looked very serious.
"Now that we have met, I will accompany you for a walk!"
"Good brother!"
I patted Yunfei on the shoulder and said, with a person like him, who knows everything about heaven and earth, by my side, I will feel much more at ease.
"Hehe...hehe..."
At this moment, another burst of female laughter came from the street. It seemed to be clearer than before, and it felt like it was right next to my ears...
This time when I heard such laughter, I couldn't help but have some complicated emotions in my heart...
I looked at the time, and it happened to be the time when the yin energy was at its strongest. I leaned against the dim street lights, stretched my neck and looked into the depths of Rouge Street...
