After a person's throat is cut, even if he doesn't die on the spot, he will definitely not immediately crawl on his hands. Did that person turn into a ghost immediately after death
Before I could react, I saw bright red blood floating in the river. The corpse, still covered in blood, twisted its body like a poisonous snake and dived into the water. Suddenly, dark red herringbone ripples appeared in the quietly flowing river and rushed straight towards us.
"Hurry up!" I roared, and ran past Guan Qingyan and headed towards the direction of the waves. Monk Shi also swung his iron rod, and we covered each other and rushed to the center of the river.
The red water waves just happened to stop about a foot away from us at this moment, and continued to spread on the water surface. At first glance, it looked as if the corpse deliberately wanted the water to wash away its blood.
Monk Shi and I tightly protected the crowd of people who were desperately trying to escape behind us, and we didn't dare to move at all, until Ye Jin rushed up to the river bank and shouted loudly, "You two, come up quickly", then Monk Shi and I backed away step by step and moved towards the river bank.
I had just stepped onto the riverbank when I heard the red-dressed female ghost on the other side laughing and saying, "I've already killed the person I wanted to kill, and I won't do it again. Why are you so nervous? Brother Yu, you have to think about it carefully! If you can't remember anything, all the people around you will die."
As soon as the red-clothed female ghost finished speaking, the bloody corpse suddenly emerged from the water, put her hands on the rocks on the shore, propped up half of her body and looked at Guan Xingyu: "Guan Xingyu, why can't you remember? Even if you remember a little bit, I don't have to die! Give me back my life!"
"No, no, no... Don't blame me, don't blame me, I didn't kill you..." Guan Xingyu turned around and ran into the mountains in fear, and I quickly chased him from behind. I chased him for two or three hundred meters before I pinned Guan Xingyu to the ground. After I knocked him down, he thought it was a ghost chasing him from behind: "Don't kill me! Really, it's none of my business! I haven't killed anyone!"
I grabbed the man's collar and pulled him up, then slapped him twice in the face. Only then did Guan Xingyu come to his senses.
Before Guan Xingyu could get up from the ground, the third brother who came from behind knelt down in front of Guan Xingyu with a plop: "Brother Yu, I beg you, just tell me what you know, our lives are all in your hands!"
"Get lost!" Guan Xingyu kicked the third brother to the ground, "I know nothing! I say it again, I know nothing!"
The third brother rolled on the ground twice and got up quickly: "You are talking nonsense! That female ghost clearly said that the person she is looking for is you! If you don't know, who would know?"
"Fuck you, even you bully me!" Guan Xingyu stepped forward, grabbed the third brother by the collar, raised his fist and hit him.
The third brother suddenly stood up, threw Guan Xingyu to the ground, pulled out a utility knife from his body and pressed it on Guan Xingyu's neck: "Speak! If you don't explain it clearly today, I will bleed you!"
"Stop!" Guan Qingyan screamed and wanted to rush to save people, but I grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
Guan Qingyan desperately slapped me with one hand and screamed, "Wu Zhao, what are you doing? Hurry and save him!"
Before the third brother made his move, I could see that he had a knife hidden on him. Monk Shi and Ye Jin naturally knew it clearly too. None of us tried to stop him, just to see if the third brother could force Guan Xingyu to reveal his secret.
Guan Xingyu turned pale with fear: "What are you talking about? I really don't know anything!"
"If you don't know, who knows?" The third brother roared, "Don't think I don't know the disgusting things you have done. You know how many girls you have ruined, and you know whether anyone has died. Why do you want to drag us down with you for the trouble you have caused?"
Guan Xingyu almost cried: "I have never seen a female ghost, never seen one..."
The third brother's voice became unusually sharp due to his excessive emotions: "You know that the female ghost won't kill you, so you're holding on to it, right? If she doesn't kill you, I will kill you..."
The third brother's utility knife sank down and immediately cut Guan Xingyu's neck, causing blood to flow. Guan Xingyu was so scared that he screamed, "Don't, don't do it..."
"Wu Zhao, hurry up and save people..." Seeing that I was hesitant to move and holding her arm tightly, Guan Qingyan had no choice but to grab my arm and bite it hard.
I let Guan Qingyan hang on my hand and bite fiercely, but my eyes were fixed on Guan Xingyu who was held at knifepoint by the third brother. Guan Xingyu's tears really flowed down: "I really don't know..."
"Then you go to hell!" When the third brother held down the utility knife and tried to exert force, the green aphid dart in my hand and the soul-soothing bell of Shi Heshang simultaneously hit the third brother, who was knocked to the ground by the two of us without any surprise. Ye Jin, who had been ready for action, took the opportunity to pull Guan Xingyu up from the ground.
Guan Qingyan finally opened her mouth: "Mr. Wu... Mr. Wu, I'm sorry..."
I shook off the blood on my wrist and said calmly, "It doesn't matter."
"I still..." Guan Qingyan obviously didn't dare to look at me. She should have realized that I didn't take action not because I didn't want to save Guan Xingyu, but because I wanted to dig out the secret of Guan Xingyu.
"Go see your brother!" I frowned after pushing Guan Qingyan away.
Guan Xingyu is not a tough guy who would not frown even if a knife is placed on his neck. If he really had some secret in his heart, it is impossible for him to refuse to tell it under such circumstances. It can only mean that Guan Xingyu actually does not know the female ghost in red.
But why does the female ghost in red keep pestering Guan Xingyu
When I was puzzled, Ye Jin came over and said, "Brother, is it time to set off?"
"Let's go!" As I led the way forward, Guan Qingyan caught up with me in a few steps, grabbed my wrist without saying a word, and bandaged the wound on my wrist with the silk scarf around her neck.
I didn't stop her, not because I was enjoying the beauty's apology, but because I wanted to make her feel at ease. In Guan Qingyan's eyes, I must be a vengeful person. If I refuse to accept her apology, the next step might be a bloody outcome. If Guan Qingyan keeps this panic, it will not be conducive to our cooperation.
It was not until the other party had bandaged my wound that I smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury. It's nothing. I wasted your silk scarf in vain."
Monk Shi, who was walking behind, laughed out loud: "Why do you make it sound like a couple in love? If this happened in ancient times, if a girl gave you a handkerchief, it would mean she was in love with you!"
An idea suddenly flashed in my mind, and I said, "Say what you just said again!"
Monk Shi thought I was angry: "Look at you, it was just a joke..."
I waved my hands and said, "No, I think I remembered something. Tell me now!"
When Monk Shi saw that I didn't seem angry, he said, "I just said..."
"That's the last sentence!" I tapped my palm and said, "Monk, do you think there is any grievance between the red-clothed female ghost and Guan Xingyu in their previous lives?"
"No way?" Monk Shi's eyes almost popped out. "Logically, it shouldn't be possible. Think about it yourself. Before reincarnation, people have to drink Meng Po soup when crossing the Naihe Bridge and forget everything about their past lives. There is not even one person among billions who can reincarnate with the memory of their past lives. Who can tell what the past life was like?"
"Besides, the grudges of the past life are the past life. Even if the ghosts are chasing him because of the grudges of the past life, they are just killing people. Why do we have to make him think about the past?"
I nodded and said, "It is precisely because I know this that I did not think about past lives or present lives. But think about it yourself, how old is Guan Xingyu? He has always lived under the eyes of Old Man Guan and Guan Qingyan. If he really had such a wife, how could they not know about it at all?"
Guan Qingyan also nodded and said, "I think what Mr. Wu said makes sense."
I continued, "That female ghost has been wearing an ancient gauze skirt since she appeared, which means that she was dressed like this when she died. Either the female ghost died somewhere in her performance costume, or she is a big ghost that has experienced hundreds of years. Which one do you think she is?"
Monk Shi frowned and said, "She must be a big ghost. Since the invasion of China, there has been no large-scale massacre, and the conditions for forming an evil nightmare have not been formed. However, I still think it should not be a problem of past life or present life."
Monk Shi slapped his thigh and said, "Old Wu, why are you going backwards as you grow older? Have you forgotten why we came all the way here? Didn't we just want to verify whether the female ghost is Guan Xingyu's child bride?"
"I think she must be Guan Xingyu's ghost wife. Think about it yourself, what kind of ghosts are those who are always thinking about how to harm people? At least they must be fierce ghosts! Guan Xingyu was born with a gloomy fate, even mountain spirits and water monsters are thinking about killing him. If Guan Xingyu's child bride is not powerful, how can she drive away those fierce ghosts?"
"In order to save his life, you use an evil nightmare to arrange a ghost marriage for him?" I shook my head and said, "Isn't this too high?"
Monk Shi disagreed and said, "Maybe the old man didn't even know that the red-clothed female ghost was an evil nightmare, and he just thought she was powerful, so he let her marry Guan Xingyu without thinking."
"This doesn't make sense..." I said this, but my tone had softened and no longer had the certainty I had at the beginning.
Although the red-clothed female ghost was an evil nightmare, she did not show any signs of violent anger. Perhaps, the Northeastern gentleman had mistaken her for an ordinary evil ghost and allowed her to marry Guan Xingyu
This made sense. What on earth did the red-clothed female ghost insist on making Guan Xingyu remember
This is the place I can't figure out, but I can't find any clues. Otherwise, I wouldn't have connected it to my past life and present life. It seems that I can only figure out the secret when I find the person who married Guan Xingyu. (To be continued)
