"Here is..." The little girl's words stopped abruptly, not only his words, but also the surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if someone had suddenly pressed the pause button in a bustling riot.
The little girl's pale face became even paler at this moment, and her big eyes were full of fear. I looked back, and all the people looked at the little girl with resentful eyes, but the body still maintained a happy smile. The posture looks very inconsistent.
However, the moment I looked at the past, all the people moved again, their faces were full of happiness and laughter, as if everything just now was just my illusion.
The little girl took my hand, and said in a low voice and hurriedly: "Uncle, this is the wild ghost village, and they all want to harm you."
Everything around her paused the moment the little girl spoke, and then filled with joyful songs and laughter, but the surrounding atmosphere became very strange. When everyone was laughing and playing, they seemed to be stealing from time to time. Look at the little girl.
The little girl shuddered all over, looking at me pitifully like a child who would be punished for doing something wrong.
I was also taken aback by what the little girl said, and noticed the gazes around me. After a while, I asked in a low voice: "Wild Ghost Village? Why did they want to kill me?"
The little girl looked around nervously, pursed her lips, and didn't dare to speak. I was about to pull the little girl aside, but the little girl stubbornly refused: "Uncle, I'm going to help you dream."
The little girl pointed in one direction. I looked around and saw that it was a very ordinary house, no different from the surrounding houses. If I had to say something, that house was much larger than the others.
I looked at the little girl suspiciously, but I still refused. I have observed just now that most of the ghosts here are below the third rank. I don't think it will cause harm to me. At worst, I will use ghost orders.
Of course, the most important question is that I don't want my mother to know that I have gone to the underworld. According to my mother's temper, I can't even imagine what my mother will do next.
The little girl's rejection of me was very strange, but she didn't insist. Instead, she held my hand tightly and looked around carefully and vigilantly, as if there would be evil spirits appearing at any time.
I pulled the little girl closer, touched her head, told her not to be afraid, and then asked, "By the way, little girl, why are you here?"
The little girl still looked very scared, but she told me her experience. It turned out that although the little girl started to change, she did not become a living dead. After her death, her soul was taken to the underworld by the local ghost messenger.
After passing through Guimenguan, Huangquan Road, Wangxiangtai, Egouling, and Jinji Mountain, she came all the way here, but she walked very slowly. Although neither the black dog nor the rooster attacked her, she still arrived a few days ago.
She was supposed to go directly to the Hall of Fascinated Souls via the main road, but she was deceived by the people of Wild Ghost Village. If it wasn't for the shroud on her body to protect her, there might not even be leftovers. Even so, the little girl still lost something. As a result, she couldn't go to the Hall of Ecstasy.
I asked the little girl why she was cheated, but the little girl just shook her head in fear and refused to say anything.
I had no choice but to give up this question and asked about men in Hanfu, but the little girl told me with certainty that I didn't see any people in strange clothes, which made me very strange. I don't think the little girl would deceive me. Could it be that I and the man in Hanfu missed it on the way. I'm not familiar with the underworld, so I can't be sure.
At this moment, the middle-aged man ran over from a distance, and when he saw the little girl, he showed a look of surprise on his face, and then said directly: "Benefactor, I found the man in Hanfu."
I was overjoyed and looked at the little girl strangely. The little girl took my hand and looked up at me innocently.
The little girl is still young, so she probably doesn't know what Hanfu is. So I asked the middle-aged man, "Where is the man in Hanfu?"
The middle-aged man showed a troubled expression: "I also asked someone about it. I only know that the man in Hanfu has been here for the past two days, and no one has seen him leave."
"Let's go find it."
"It's getting dark now, so it's hard to find, why don't you go find it tomorrow."
I looked distressed and looked at the sky. It was almost dark, and there seemed to be no lights here, and the crowds singing and laughing were also leaving in twos and threes. It was really hard to find someone, but if I didn’t go today, the men in Hanfu would bring them with me at night. If the female ghost left, it would be troublesome.
The middle-aged man seemed to have guessed what I was thinking, and said: "Benefactor, you are worried about the person you are looking for. Leave tonight, no, this road can only be walked during the day, and no one walks at night." After speaking, he pointed to the main road.
Only then did I realize that at some point, there were very few pedestrians on the crowded road, and the only few people were running wildly, wanting to leave before it got dark.
I thought for a while, then nodded, as long as the Hanfu man is still there, I will definitely find him, no matter how many people there are.
Seeing that I agreed, the middle-aged man was very happy: "Benefactor, I met a friend over there who passed away a few years ago. We can rest at his house tonight."
I was a little embarrassed, but the middle-aged man told me that he had a very good relationship with his friends, and the kindness was hard to give up, so I could only nod my head in agreement.
The middle-aged man led the way, but the little girl held me tightly and refused to let me go.
After pulling it down, the middle-aged man who found something wrong looked back at me suspiciously. I pointed at the little girl embarrassingly: "I'm a junior, look."
"It's okay, my friend and I are like brothers, there's only one more person, he won't mind." The middle-aged man said everything.
I smiled, and asked the little girl to go with me in a low voice. The little girl seldom saw strangers, so she looked at the middle-aged man with some fear, and the middle-aged man smiled kindly and nodded.
The action of the middle-aged man did not make the little girl feel close, but took a step back and hid behind me.
I had no choice but to pick up the little girl and follow behind the middle-aged man.
To my surprise, the middle-aged man's friends are very hospitable. Besides the middle-aged man, he even invited a few people I don't know. This makes me very strange, but this is the underworld, and the rules of the world It is also understandable to be different.
The chubby wife of the middle-aged friend smiled and went to clean up. We stood outside the house and greeted each other while it was still dark.
Only then did I know that the middle-aged man's friend was called Wang Da, and Wang Da's fat wife was called Jia Wan. The couple had been dead for several years, but they just didn't want to separate, so they stayed here and never left.
The relatives and friends around me are either alive or have been reincarnated. The couple's life is boring, and they have gradually developed the habit of hospitality.
And this place is indeed called Wild Ghost Village, Wang Da still laughed at himself and said: "We are a group of lonely ghosts."
As for the little girl who said that someone was going to harm me, I didn't realize it at all. I guess the little girl has experienced such a horrible thing, so she has a deep fear of people.
Just when it was about to be the middle-aged man's turn to make an introduction, Jia Wan came out with a smile and said that the room had been cleaned, and the middle-aged man was about to introduce himself, so he changed the subject and invited us in.
Just as I was about to enter the house, the little girl lay on top of me and whispered, "Don't believe anyone."
Then, night covered the entire sky.
