I was startled and quickly turned around to look, only to find that the bed was empty and there was nothing there, only...two pools of water...
"Could it be that I'm dazzled?"
I was muttering in my mind.
But then I thought of something, so I turned my face to the side and casually glanced at it with my peripheral vision again. Sure enough, I saw two people lying on the bed again!
It's just that after all, it was my peripheral vision, which was very blurry, and I couldn't see the clothes and appearance of the two people clearly!
But I also thought that there was such a record in the ancient book given by Master,
If you suddenly feel uncomfortable, but you can't explain it clearly, then you can try to look around you with your peripheral vision, maybe you can see something unclean...
This is also a way for ordinary people to see ghosts.
Thinking of this, I secretly looked at the sky and looked towards the bed. This time I saw it really clearly. There were two people lying on the bed, a man and a woman!
The woman was wearing a red wedding dress, and the man was wearing a brown mandarin jacket, both dressed in Fahrenheit wedding attire. Both of them were lying upright on the bed, motionless, with water dripping from their bodies.
I couldn't help but take two steps forward to take a closer look. When I saw it, I couldn't help but take a breath!
I found that both of them had pale faces, but their mouths were grinning widely, almost to the base of their ears, like a smile but not a smile. Their eyes were also wide and bulging, and they felt like they were already smiling.
Completely bulging out...
This look immediately reminded me of an animal, a toad! That’s right, it’s a toad!
What’s even stranger is that although these two people are ghosts, they don’t seem to have any consciousness. They just lie upright without any movement. I realized that these two people may not be the ghosts themselves...
Just when I was lost in thought, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder, which startled me. When I turned around, I saw old man Bai holding a glass of water in front of me.
"Xiao Lin, come on, don't be stunned, drink some water."
I thanked him, then took the water and drank it.
"Hey... I know you saw these two puddles of water on the bed, so you were frightened, right?"
Old Man Bai sighed and asked.
Naturally, I couldn't tell him that there were two ghosts lying on the bed, and it seemed that he only saw two pools of water. After all, the old man had dazzled eyes, and it was obviously impossible to expect them to see it with his peripheral vision.
So I nodded and asked:
"Uncle Bai, um... I'm taking the liberty to ask, when I went up the mountain before, I didn't seem to see any water. I wonder where your son and daughter-in-law fell into the water?"
"Not far from the west end of the village, there is a reservoir. It was built artificially, but it has been abandoned for many years... But I advise you not to pass by there when you are walking... especially at night, you must go around it.
!”
"Why?" I asked suspiciously.
Old Man Bai looked out the window, nervously leaned into my ear and muttered in a low voice:
"That reservoir... is very evil! If there are too many, I can't talk about it anymore..."
I nodded thoughtfully, and then the old man told me a way out of the mountain. I thanked him and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, I took out a copper coin from my backpack and stuffed it into old man Bai's hand.
"Uncle Bai, please keep this copper coin. It is an ancestral inheritance in my family. It can ward off evil spirits. When you sleep, put it under your pillow..."
Old Man Bai smiled and shook his head,
"Xiao Lin, I appreciate your kindness. There are so many mages who can't handle it. How can this small copper coin be possible... I have already accepted our fate. Your aunt and I are both this old and have lived enough. We are not afraid of anything now.
Just do whatever you love..."
I knew he didn't quite believe it, so I calmly cut my finger with a copper coin and dipped a few drops of blood on it, and then lightly scratched the foreheads of the two ghosts on the bed. The two ghosts immediately twitched, and then
It turned into two white mist and dissipated.
Also disappearing were the two puddles of water on the bed...
Old Man Bai and his wife watched the water on the bed slowly disappear, and immediately cast a surprised look at me.
"You copper coins..." Old Man Bai said tremblingly.
I smiled, put the copper coins into his hand again, and then walked out of the house directly and went straight to the reservoir at the west end of the village...
Along the way, I was thinking, how did the two unconscious souls of Old Man Bai’s son and daughter-in-law come back? Why do they keep pestering the old couple? There must be some problem in this, and the answer to the problem is probably
Reservoir!
Thinking of this, I quickened my pace again...
"I have to remind you that this matter is not that simple. With your current strength, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with. You have to be mentally prepared..."
Suddenly, Lao Yutou's voice came to my ears, and I don't know when he climbed onto my shoulder again.
As I walked, I asked:
"What do you mean, maybe you have already seen the trick?"
"Haha... That's natural. My old turtle has not lived for so many years in vain!" Old Yutou said with a sly smile.
I was stunned, stopped and said angrily:
"Since you know, tell me quickly, what's the deal?! Don't forget, you asked me to take care of this matter!"
"I know, I know, but now it seems that this matter is really handled correctly!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't ask so many questions first, go to the reservoir and have a look!"
After walking along the quiet path at night for another ten minutes or so, the sound of running water could be heard not far away, and the surrounding air seemed to become moist.
“Finally we’re here!”
I was so excited that I couldn't help but run a few steps quickly, but I accidentally tripped over something and fell down like a dog!
"I go!"
I cursed, turned around and looked with my flashlight, and found that there was a broken stone tablet in the middle of the path.
"Why is there a stone monument here?"
Because I was in a hurry, I didn't look carefully. I got up, patted the soil, and walked straight to the nearby reservoir.
At night, I stood next to the reservoir and took photos back and forth with my flashlight. I saw that the entire reservoir was as dark as ink, with a hint of mystery, and the water banks on both sides were overgrown with weeds, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
I couldn't help but take a few steps forward, but suddenly I saw a person squatting on the water bank not far away, who looked like a child...
