After transiting in Nanjing, we arrived in Huangshan City smoothly at nine o'clock the next evening.
When we got off the bus, I unexpectedly discovered that the couple who originally sat opposite us also got off the bus and did not get off during the transfer. They had the same purpose as us, all coming to Huangshan. However, the girl seemed a little uncomfortable, her face was sallow, and she walked half leaning on her boyfriend's arms.
"Why, do you like this girl?" Shen Bing asked curiously when she saw me staring at the girl.
"I like her, aren't you jealous?" I turned around and said with a smile.
"Bah, you bumpkin, why don't you learn your lesson? I told you this kind of joke is boring, but you still keep making it." She pouted and walked away. Just then, Wang Zijun and Qu Mo got off the car. She pulled Qu Mo and started talking and laughing.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, and involuntarily stared at the girl's back. She had a strange aura from head to toe, especially between her eyebrows, which was faintly black. This was not a good sign. Unfortunately, we didn't know each other. If I rashly ran over and told someone that I might have been possessed by evil spirits, the man might slap me in the face.
Forget it. People are possessed by evil spirits every day. How can I handle it? Besides, I am not in charge of human affairs, but of ghost affairs. Their possession of evil spirits may not necessarily bring disaster, so why should I worry about it
We first found a hotel to stay in, and planned to enter the scenic area early tomorrow morning. Since Wang Zijun came unprepared and had no money on him, of course I had to pay for the room. Although Qu Mo rushed to pay, could I let a girl pay? Then the four of us went to eat Huangshan’s famous snacks, crab shell yellow sesame cakes, Anhui-style small wontons, Huangshan river snails, and stone dumplings. The food was so delicious. Qu Mo, such a gentle girl, was full of food.
When I returned to the hotel, I happened to meet the couple again. They seemed to have just come back from dinner. The girl's complexion was getting worse and worse, almost pale, and the black energy between her eyebrows was getting heavier. But she looked more energetic than during the day, walking by herself with a smile on her face.
They talked loudly and had a little argument. The girl wanted to go to the scenic spot immediately, but the boy disagreed and wanted to stay in the hotel for one night and go the next morning. But the boy finally couldn't win over the girl and agreed.
Qu Mo walked up to me and whispered to me, "Master Xi, this girl looks a little weird."
I was quite surprised. I didn't expect that she could see something. I just nodded. I couldn't answer her because I knew that the girl had a problem and I didn't plan to help her. How could I tell her? Seeing that I didn't say anything, Qu Mo didn't say anything either and followed me into the hotel.
She and Shen Bing shared a room. Since it was 11 o'clock after dinner, they went back to their own rooms to sleep. I was tired after a day of riding the train. I took a simple shower and lay on the soft bed. I felt very comfortable and sleepy. Wang Zijun was very excited to talk about what he and Qu Mo talked about on the way. He regarded the little things as great and glorious events. I fell asleep in his endless chatter.
I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. This is a habit I developed from years of special forces experience. No matter how deep I sleep, I can hear the slightest noise.
When I opened my eyes, the room was pitch black. I heard Wang Zijun snoring softly. He was sleeping soundly. I turned on the light and looked at the clock. It was two o'clock in the morning. I wondered what the noise was that woke me up. I turned to look at the window and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that the window was not closed tightly. There was a wind outside, and the window sash was still opening and closing slightly, making a clicking sound.
