"Where have you been these two days?"
An Ning has been discharged from the hospital because she is fine. I went to meet her, but she caught me and questioned her.
I had no choice but to giggle in embarrassment, scratched my cheeks, and didn't tell her about my physical condition, just making up a random reason.
"Do you know how boring I am in the hospital? That guy Anze, he doesn't know how to chat at all, he reads there with a book every day, I see him, 24 hours a day, 22 hours a day He was reading a book."
An Ning's mouth was like a machine gun, frantically spouting to me everything she had experienced during the two days I was away.
I pursed my lips, knowing that she is a restless master. I have seen the current scene many times before, and I am used to it.
Every time she is depressed, she will complain wildly, and I am the storage basket to accept all her "grievances".
But, I was quite touched by it, and I didn't feel disgusted. I heard her constantly muttering about this and complaining about that, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Sure enough, he is a lunatic. He only sleeps for a while every day. No wonder there are dark circles under his eyes."
I chatted with her without a word, when I heard that she suddenly lost her voice. I interrupted and asked, "Grandpa An, what about An Xu and the others? How's it going?"
An Ning became more silent and lowered her head. When I saw her expression, I immediately realized that she knew about their situation.
Unexpectedly, she yelled fiercely and shook her hand angrily!
"I don't know! Anze said that he is still resting in the hospital and suffered a little injury, but I guess he is lying to me."
An Ning drooped her shoulders weakly, lowered her eyes, and asked me softly, "Xiaohua, do you know how grandpa and the others are doing?"
I trembled in my heart, but I still forced my face to remain unchanged, not wanting her to see any signs of it.
"They're fine. They'll be discharged from the hospital in two days. Don't worry." I comforted An Ning with a smile, put my arms around her arm, and said affectionately.
After An Ning heard my words, the gloom on her face finally dissipated, she smiled reassuringly, and nodded.
However, when I saw her appearance, I felt guilty.
I hope she can understand my intentions, and I don't want to make her worry too much, so I can only say this...
Yang Yi was also here to pick An Ning out of the hospital, but when I heard that he was arrested by An Ze to discuss ways to save An Yu and Situ Jing, I couldn't help but recall what An Ze said to me at that time.
I glanced sideways at An Ning, summoned up my courage, grabbed her hand, and said, "An Ning, the souls of An Yu and Situ Jing failed to be rescued, Grandpa An and the others will go."
"This time, let's not follow along."
Originally, I was prepared for An Ning to refute, but to my surprise, An Ning nodded obediently, and said bitterly: "Xiaohua is right."
"My strength is not yet my turn to do that."
Just when I thought her words would get deeper and deeper, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes bursting with fighting spirit: "So, I have to work harder and strive to improve my ability, so that I can go out with grandpa to drive out ghosts in the future!"
"You don't have to make Anze work so hard."
I happened to receive a message from Yang Yi, saying that he reserved a small table in a private restaurant, and let us go to celebrate An Ning's discharge from the hospital.
Hearing the high-spirited words from my ears, and seeing that An Ning was not defeated by difficulties, I happily grabbed her hand and walked towards the destination.
While walking, he said: "I believe in you! But before that, we must satisfy our stomachs first, don't you think so?"
I handed her the mobile phone and asked her to read Yang Yi's message, and this foodie girl finally burst into a smile.
"By the way, you haven't told me where you went when you lost contact for two days? Tell me!"
I glanced at her with a smile, pretending to be thinking, and noticed her curious look, I whetted her appetite, then approached her, and said with a smirk—
"Secret, I won't tell you!"
…
When we arrived at the private restaurant, Yang Yi had already ordered a table of dishes and looked at us with a smile.
"You two honorable ladies, it's really long overdue."
I heard him speak politely again, looking like a gentleman, which made me laugh.
"Okay, leave Wenqing alone, thank you."
I thanked, pulled down the seat a little, picked up the drink in front of me, and just put it to my mouth, my hand stopped.
Since this table is located by the floor-to-ceiling windows, we can see the outside scenery during the meal, so my eyes were attracted by a scary thing not far away.
A person wearing a migrant worker's uniform was walking there. His blue overalls were covered with lime and muddy water, and he wore long plastic boots on his feet.
This attire is very ordinary, and what I pay attention to is not his attire, but his person!
I could tell he was a ghost, the spirit was still white and translucent.
To say why I said he was "horrible".
Because he has no head!
What the hell! Whoever it is, will be scared to death when they see a person walking on the road without a head!
I almost dropped the glass in my hand on the ground, but I couldn't help shaking my hands violently. A few drops of the drink splashed on the clothes, leaving marks that were not easy to wash.
However, I didn't bother to pay attention.
An Ning noticed me, apparently unaware that I saw that headless wandering spirit walking on the road, smiled and patted me, and joked, "Look at your excitement, Xiaohua, you spilled your drink on your clothes! "
It took me a long time to come back to my senses, I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and when I opened them again, the headless ghost in overalls was still there.
He was standing at one end of a zebra crossing, and behind him, there happened to be a construction site.
I immediately recognized that some kind of large-scale commercial plaza was going to be built here, and I heard that the company wanted to hurry up, so these workers were constantly asked to work overtime.
As a result, my parents brought it up when they got home from late work, saying that there was a very loud sound of piling on the construction site in the middle of the night.
"Xiaohua? Xiaohua!"
An Ning shook my body, so I turned my head and gave her a straight look.
"What's the matter with you, you're out of your mind, eat quickly, you've been looking at the scenery since just now, can't you eat while looking at it?"
Yang Yi raised his glass and wanted to clink glasses with us, but I held the glass absent-mindedly.
"Boom—" The glass cups collided and made a crisp sound.
I know, it must be very unpleasant to tell them about this headless wandering spirit now. It is obviously a small celebration banquet, so it must be very blind to say this.
I could only suppress the doubts and fear in my heart, look back, and chat with them with a smile.
During the period, I stopped looking outside, for fear that the poor headless man was still there, and my seldom-raised good mood would be ruined again.
When the meal was about to end, Yang Yi drank the red wine in the glass and asked me meaningfully: "Ronghua, did you see something strange? Although you came to your senses just now, I still I can see that you are hiding something in your heart."
An Ning was full, and after listening to Yang Yi's words, she also turned her gaze to me.
When I see them like this, I know that now even if I tell the ghosts I saw, they won't blame them.
"I saw a headless soul on the sidewalk across the way."
"ah?"
An Ning's eyes widened in surprise, even Yang Yi did the same.
"Aren't you mistaken? A ghost without a head? No, I haven't seen a soul without arms or legs yet."
Yang Yi also felt very strange, and nodded repeatedly, agreeing with what An Ning said.
I hurriedly said: "No, absolutely not wrong!"
Yang Yi looked out the window, looked around, and smiled at me awkwardly: "Where are you?"
"It's there!"
I pointed to the position of the crosswalk traffic light again, but my hand froze in mid-air.
How can there be any headless wandering souls there, there are crowded and busy pedestrians and vehicles everywhere.
And on that construction site, there were still bursts of sound of piling, and the sound was endless.
"Xiaohua must be dazzled, we've finished eating too."
An Ning packed the small bag, got up and said to me: "Let's go back to school today, we missed so many classes, we have to go to the counselor to talk about it, to issue a leave or something."
My parents said they had told me about it with the counselor, but An Ning didn't, and I had to accompany her to the office once.
Before leaving, I still took a look at the place where the headless wandering spirit was standing, and after confirming that there was no one there, I turned around and prepared to leave.
My good eyesight allowed me to pass through the half-open construction subway door, and I saw his figure beside a pile of gravel and stones in the ruins!
Not an illusion! I read that right!
Before I could call to stop Yang Yi who had gone away, An Ning pulled me and said anxiously: "Let's go, go back to school, accompany me to open a leave form, there seems to be a class in the afternoon, if we Go if you can."
I was about to speak, but was stopped by her move.
Seeing farther and farther away from that construction site, my desire to blurt out became less and less.
It's been so far, it's useless to talk about it.
However, I still care about it.
Why, does he have no head? Logically speaking, no matter how broken a person's body is, the soul will not become fragmented as a result.
To put it bluntly, the body is the container of the soul, and the soul is a whole. Even if the body becomes old and dies, the soul will still exist forever.
Headless wandering soul, if I say I don't care, I'd be lying.
However, neither An Ning nor Yang Yi believed what I said.
I frowned. It seems that it is better to ask the pervert about this matter.
Workman's clothes, a soul without a head...
And the way he stood in front of the ruins, bent over as if he was looking for something, made me very concerned.
However, when I thought of the pervert's advice, I shook my head and sighed inwardly.
Forget it, forget it, if there is no trouble coming to your door, don't cause trouble for yourself.
