On the outskirts of Gaoji Town, around ten o'clock in the evening.
At this time, there was no sound of people in the suburbs. There was not even the sound of insects in this season. It should be very quiet.
Unfortunately, it was windy at night.
The north wind howled and poured into the ventilation ducts, emitting a whimpering sound like a woman crying, which was particularly scary.
"The cold wind is so refreshing."
He proudly closed his yard, sat in front of the barbecue grill, holding iron pokers in his hand, and stirred the charcoal fire, making a crackling sound.
There are skewers of meat leaning against the barbecue rack, with alternating fat and lean meat. The fat is coming out from the grill, making a sizzling sound, and the air is filled with the aroma of barbecue.
Gao Wei sat back on the chair next to him, with a look of exhaustion on his face, and closed his eyes to rest.
There is a thermos cup on the table next to it, soaking wolfberry in it. The water is warm and tastes slightly sweet.
"Brother, you finally took a few days off. You should enjoy life, eat barbecue, and stay up late. Why are you holding a thermos cup and drinking wolfberry every day? Isn't it bitter?"
Gao Ao looked at the red wolfberry in his brother's cup, which was swollen and fat. He wanted to taste it, but he was afraid of the pain and stuck out his tongue. He really couldn't understand the psychology of people who like to drink wolfberry.
"Sweet."
Gao Wei smiled lightly: "You will understand the goodness of wolfberry after you drink it. Okay, I won't accompany you anymore. I'm going to bed. You can bake it alone!"
Arrogantly and depressedly, he sprinkled salt on the meat skewers: "It's boring... Huh? What is this?"
Gao Ao suddenly noticed a dark mass in the corner of the yard. He walked over and took a look, and saw a dead magpie in his sight. It was plump and heavy.
Gao Ao kicked him hard: "It's bad luck. It's not good to die anywhere, but here."
Gao Wei paused, turned around with a pale face, stared at the magpie corpse, mechanically stepped forward, picked up the magpie corpse with arrogant and surprised eyes, and sighed repeatedly: "It is also a poor bird, today I will bury it
You, who will bury me in his year?"
After saying that, he actually found a shovel from the house, hugged the big magpie and prepared to go out and bury it.
"What's wrong with my brother? He has been a tough guy since he was a child, cold, serious, and a workaholic. Why is he suddenly as sad as Sister Lin?" Gao Ao shook his head.
As soon as the yard door opened, the high beam lights suddenly turned on outside the door, and a figure jumped out of the car and walked over carrying a heavy backpack.
"Who is outside!"
Standing up proudly, he stuck his head out of the door, looked at the figure walking through the light, rubbed his eyes, and shouted in surprise: "Brother Li Jun?"
Li Jun nodded: "Brother Gao Ao."
"Hey, don't call me brother. I can't afford it. I can't afford it. You are more capable and you are the eldest brother." Gao Ao looked excited.
Li Jun casually walked into the yard, put down his backpack, took out a big mouse from inside, and took out a thin snake from his arms, plus a magpie that jumped on the table.
A gathering of living animals.
He was an arrogant and envious person. He knew that these animals must not be ordinary beasts, so he did not dare to stretch out his claws and ravage them.
"Brother Li, what kind of strong wind has brought you here?"
"Call me Li Jun, don't use the word you, I'll listen to you." Li Jun smiled, grabbed the kebab in front of him, and fed it to his mouth.
"Okay, Mr. Li."
Gao Ao knows that Li Jun is not the kind of person who likes to show off, and if he treats it with a normal heart, he may get unexpected gains, such as teaching his own skills and saying goodbye to an ordinary and bleak life.
After a moment of silence, Gao Ao suddenly pulled his brother over and said with a smile: "I have wanted to introduce you to each other. This is Li Jun. This is my brother, the captain of the city's criminal police brigade."
"He is not your brother."
"What?"
Before Gao Ao could understand, Li Jun suddenly took out a willow leaf from his arms and gently touched his eyes. In an instant, Gao Ao felt a cold air enter his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the whole world was different.
.
"This is?"
Gao Ao's face was full of doubts, and he touched the leaves on his eyes, feeling ice-cold.
"A small willow leaf can allow you to see a different world." Li Jun said.
According to folklore, after willow leaves are soaked in clean water, they can acquire incredible abilities, and living people can see ghosts.
In fact, there are many ways for a living person to see ghosts, the most expensive is the method of seeing ghosts with rhinoceros, and the cheapest is the method of seeing ghosts with willow leaves.
Naturally, there are no fresh willow leaves this season, but for Li Jun, willow leaf specimens can still be used.
This willow leaf was picked up by Li Jun on the way here. It had been dried. He used a little bit of real energy to turn it into a special willow leaf.
Li Jun made a lot of these willow leaves and stuffed them all into his bag. They were just a little bit shabby, but they were useful.
"What the hell?"
Ao Ao was frightened in his heart. He raised his head tremblingly and looked around. Sure enough, he saw a long-haired woman hanging on the peach tree outside the courtyard.
The woman wears a loose cheongsam from the Qing Dynasty, her dark hair is spread behind her head, and her narrow and pointed embroidered shoes are exposed from her wide trouser legs.
If those literati from the Ming and Qing dynasties had seen it, they would have praised it: "What a pair of three-inch golden lotuses."
While Gao Ao looked at the long-haired woman, the woman suddenly raised her head and looked at him. Her empty eyes were dark, staring at Gao Ao.
A very bright white woven lamp was set up in the Gao Ao courtyard, and the light illuminated half of the woman's body. Not to mention how frightened she was, the woman suddenly grinned.
"Ah, help!"
Gao Ao fell to the ground, trembling and pointing at the peach tree: "Li Jun, there is something there, it's too scary, yes, yes,..."
Gao Ao shivered for a long time, but did not dare to say that ghost word.
Li Jun glanced at it lightly: "It's not a big deal, it's just a kind of earth-binding spirit. This female ghost probably hanged herself from a tree before she died, and her spirit body was trapped by the peach tree."
"Oh my god, is it so scary?"
Gao Ao turned pale with fright. He was a tall man and he hid behind Li Jun, trembling with fear.
In his memory, this peach tree has always been there. Unexpectedly, there is a female ghost hanging on it. He has lived in the sight of the female ghost for so many years.
This kind of familiar thing is the most terrifying thing.
On the other hand, Gao Wei, who was beside him, was holding the big magpie corpse in his arms and staring blankly at Li Jun. To be precise, he was looking at the flower magpie on the table next to Li Jun.
He sighed proudly, the ignorant are fearless. His brother couldn't see anything, so naturally he didn't understand the horror.
Although he wanted to live an extraordinary life every day, when he actually saw these things, oh my god, it was so scary.
His proud soul was trembling. He admired Li Jun even more. In his eyes, such a terrifying thing was just a kind of earth-binding spirit?
"Don't worry, she can't harm you. It's just that the peach shade temporarily blocks the sun, so she can survive. But as time goes by, she will dissipate sooner or later."
Li Jun continued casually: "I'm not asking you to look at the female ghost, I'm asking you to look next to me."
