Chapter 21: The Old Woman


On this big night, such an old woman suddenly came out of the dark corner, so frightened that Wang Xu almost had a convulsion on the spot, screamed and hurriedly retreated Wang Xu looked at the old woman in a daze, the old woman's face in the dark looked particularly hideous and terrifying, Wang Xu was about to take out the heavenly bow and shoot arrows.Seeing that Wang Xu was frightened, the old woman smiled gloomily and continued: "Young man, what time is it?"

Wang Xu regained some calm, stared carefully at the strange old woman in front of her and did not speak, wanting to see if this old woman was a human or a ghost.But Wang Xu stared at it for a long time, this old woman didn't seem to have any evil spirit, except for looking a little scary, there was no difference between normal people in other places, but she was hidden in the dark at this time, and Wang Xu couldn't observe more carefully.Seeing that the old woman asked twice in a row, Wang Xu hesitated slightly, and then replied cautiously: "It's about ten o'clock in the evening." ”"Oh, I see, thank you lad."

After hearing this, the old woman smiled strangely at Wang Xu again, and slowly retreated into the dark alley behind her, leaving this place.Seeing the old woman disappear into the darkness, Wang Xu looked inexplicable, and finally covered his head and laughed at himself: "Wang Xu, you are also a person who has gone through strong winds and waves, how can you meet an old woman who asks the time and scream like a girl in fright, fortunately, there is no one around, otherwise it will be really embarrassing to die." ”After speaking, Wang Xu continued to walk back, although it was only about ten o'clock now, but Wang Xu had not eaten for a day, and he was tired for a day, he was already a little sleepy, and he wanted to go back and sleep well as soon as possible.As he continued to walk forward, he had just walked through a street when he heard the cold and strange voice again in a dark alley on the side."

Young man, what time is it" Although Wang Xu had heard it once before, but hearing it again, it still made Wang Xu's scalp explode in fright, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, and found that the old woman was actually standing on his side and saw this old woman again, Wang Xu suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he still couldn't see anything wrong with this old woman, and thought that the alley was connected to this alley before, and the old woman might have a little mental problem, so he softened his tone and said: "Old man, It's past ten o'clock now, so you might as well go back and rest early at this late hour. ”When the old woman heard this, she said coldly, "Thank you, young man." ”With that, the old woman retreated into the alley behind her again and slowly disappeared into the darkness.Wang Xu didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward, but after being asked the time twice, he was already afraid, for fear that the old woman would jump out of a dark corner again and scare him, and every time he passed by a lane, he couldn't help but take a look, so as to be mentally prepared in advance.In this way, Wang Xu walked out of several streets in a row, and did not meet the old woman again, so he also relaxed and began to stride forward.But Wang Xu hadn't taken a few steps yet, and the voice that made him creepy came again from a dark corner beside him: "Young man, what time is it?"

Wang Xu, who had already put his mind at ease, heard this familiar voice again, and thought that he was mentally prepared, but he couldn't help screaming in fright again, and turned his head to look, the old woman actually appeared next to Wang Xu again, but this time, there was no dark alley behind the old woman, that is, This old woman appeared out of thin air Seeing this situation, Wang Xu already understood, this old woman is probably not a person at all, stabilized her mood a little and said angrily: "I said that you are not annoying, I have told you three times, now it is more than ten o'clock, why do you still ask" The old woman was not angry after hearing this, her body seemed to float in the air and moved to Wang Xu, her pale and wrinkled face was facing Wang Xu, and Wang Xu's scalp was numb for a while."

Don't blame me, young man, I've been here for days, and you're the only one who can see me, so I can only talk to you."

Wang Xu already knew that this old woman must be a soul with an obsession that had not disappeared, so he said helplessly: "Then you won't ask me three times in a row, do you know how scary it is for you to suddenly appear from the darkness, if ordinary people are afraid that they would have been scared out of their neuropathy a long time ago." ”The old woman smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm really sorry, I know that Boss Wang has the ability, so I deliberately appeared like this to test it, and now it seems that Boss Wang really deserves his reputation." ”Wang Xu was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "You know me" The old woman smiled: "Of course I know, who doesn't know the exorcism house Wang Xu in this place, it's really good, I thought my last wish was disappointed, who knew that when I still had a little time left, I met Boss Wang, it seems that God still pities me." ”Wang Xu looked at the old woman slightly and said, "Old man, do you have anything you want to ask me for help" The old woman sighed slightly and said: "Boss Wang, my old woman does have something to ask you for help, but I know that I have to be paid for doing things in your exorcism house, and you can see that I am dead, today is the first seven soul nights, and I don't have anything valuable on me to pay for it, but as soon as tonight is over, I will be reincarnated, but I really can't rest assured" Looking at the old woman's uncomfortable and self-blaming appearance, Wang Xu's heart suddenly trembled violently, and he looked back at the direction of the exorcism house that was only one street away, although he was now hungry and cold, he was weak, but he still barely squeezed out a smile and said: "Old man, it doesn't matter, I am also principled in doing things, if I feel that I need to help with this matter, I will help you for free." ”Late at night, it was close to eleven o'clock, and the streets were already empty, and every household had turned off the lights to rest, ready to welcome the next day in the best spirits, but under a big tree, a lonely figure was still sitting there, and from time to time let out a sigh.The young man kept looking down at the neatly placed chessboard in front of him, his eyes were slightly red, his eyes were moist, as if he had encountered something sad, and he couldn't untie the knot in his heart."

Alas" The young man sighed at the chessboard again, feeling that the temperature had dropped a lot, and tightened his clothes slightly, and suddenly found that a young man with a heavy face appeared next to him at some point."

Friend, how boring it is to play chess alone, how about I accompany you in the next game" aa2705221:
