The butler led the group smoothly to the end of the corridor, where they stopped in front of the stilted village where the eaves had disappeared.Due to the structure of the stilt village, the promenade could not be built directly to the staircase of the stilt village, so they had to go through an open-air route before entering the stilt village.In normal times, he could have used Xiao Huangben to summon the Eternal Soul Umbrella, but by coincidence, the Eternal Soul Umbrella was taken away by Shen Mirage.Or if the rain is lighter, walking past is like a walk in the rain, but now this kind of downpour, what is not sheltered from the rain will be drenched into soup.Or is it simply ......
Shall I go straight back?
Xiao Li looked at the back of the butler who walked straight into the rain, and fell into deep thought."
Steward Sun, don't have an umbrella for us?"
Roshan raised her voice and called out to the rain-soaked butler ahead.The butler stood in the rain, and his voice drifted over with the sound of the rain: "I'll go get you an umbrella." ”Wang Huai sighed: "No need, I have it here." ”He took out three umbrellas from his task book, the colors of these three umbrellas were red, orange, and yellow, and the umbrella body was not large, like a unified configuration for kindergarten children."
It should only take ten minutes at most, otherwise the souls of the triplets will be revived."
Wang Huai solemnly warned everyone, "Everyone squeeze and run over." ”Ye Zeqing held up a small red umbrella and walked towards Xiao Li.Xiao Li didn't move.Ye Zeqing: "Don't go?"
”Xiao Li suddenly turned his head: "Have you heard a voice?"
”If someone else showed such an expression, Ye Zeqing would not have any fluctuations, but it was Moriarty who did it in front of him, so he followed and listened carefully to the movements around him, and finally said: "No, the rain is too heavy, I can't hear it at all, is it crying?"
”"No," Xiao Li said, "it's another voice, coughing. ”He added: "It's like an old man with phlegm in his lungs, the terminally ill kind. ”Xiao Li said and pulled Ye Zeqing to where he was standing, and pointed to the pond opposite Gaojiaozhai.This time, I don't know if it was the psychological effect of being described by Xiao Li, Ye Zeqing only felt that he seemed to vaguely hear the voice described by Xiao Li: "Cough, cough, cough." ”It's just that the sound was washed away by the rain, and only the last bit of echo remained, making everyone uncertain.Wang Huai: "Since this sound is as irregular as the crying, let's go over first and see what Sun Yaoming is looking for us to do." ”He and Ye Lingshi huddled under a small yellow umbrella and ran over quickly.And Xiao Li was about to step into the rain when the purple umbrella flashed in front of him.Shen Mirage held the umbrella steadily, his knuckles were clean and powerful, and he looked particularly good on the dark purple handle.Before Xiao Li reacted, the young man said with a little smile under the umbrella: "You won't like the dinner here, I brought you a supper, but you can't eat too much." ”Xiao Li walked under the purple umbrella, and the wide umbrella surface unsurprisingly tilted in the direction he was.Ye Zeqing, who was left alone, wanted to speak and stopped, propped the little red umbrella on his shoulder, and enjoyed this umbrella exclusively in style.…… When everyone arrived at Gaojiaozhai, the head of the Sun family had been waiting for a long time, Sun Qilin and three other middle-aged men were also there, they were wearing dark green Tang costumes, embroidered with quaint patterns, Tang Huaqing sat next to one of the gutter-nosed men, and the two talked happily and chatted energetically."
Hey," Wang Huai whispered in a voice that only they could hear, "Something happened to the old ghost of the Sun family." ”Ye Zeqing: "What do you say?"
”Wang Huai: "There are only six original chairs here, and those waiting for us now are all temporarily moved, and the legs of the chairs have obviously been wet by the rain.Obviously, they weren't going to come and invite us to dinner.What can make them change their minds temporarily should be that the situation in the family is out of control, and the loss of control is very serious, for these stubborn old ghosts who have never entered the dungeon, the rise and fall of the family is greater than the survival of reality. ”"And now, we have been invited temporarily, and their attitude is not lukewarm, which shows that the court has given them a solution, but Sun Yaoming does not want to stand in line so early, he has not made a decision, whether to let us intervene, or choose the court directly."
Before Wang Huai finished speaking, the old ghost of the Sun family saw him, and tapped the wooden seat with his thumb wearing a jade wrench: "Wang Huai, I haven't seen you for some days, but I have really grown up." ”Wang Huai: "Uncle Sun praises falsely. ”Several of them complimented each other, and Xiao Li sat at the very end, looking at the food on the table.No wonder Shen Mizhi would say that he didn't like to eat, the closest pot of vegetables to him was the fried grasshopper, so close to Xiao Li, he could even see the fine hairs on the grasshopper's legs......
Even if all the dishes are full of color and flavor except for these fried insects, Xiao Li has completely lost her appetite - let's eat her boyfriend's love bento.Xiao Li fell silent, only symbolically greeted him a few times when Wang Huai introduced him, and kept drinking the drink in the cup until Shen Mizhi held down the mouth of his cup, poured the rest of the drink into his own cup, and changed the warm tea for him.The private actions of the two of them did not attract the attention of others, Wang Huai over there was fighting with Sun Yaoming, and he had successfully led the topic to the "strange voices" of the Sun family in recent days.Wang Huai did not use crying to describe it, but used a strange sound to imply that the other party already had some information.But the old ghost of the Sun family is as steady as a rock, and he has always maintained a smiling posture on his face, leaving three points of leeway, only saying that he doesn't need the help of the reincarnation for the time being, and their Sun family can handle their own affairs, but if necessary, he must come to visit.Wang Huai hinted a few more times, but he never succeeded.The rain was heavier outside the village.The dinner party dispersed, and this time Steward Sun did not lead the way in front, so he had to stay and command his subordinates to clean up the mess.Most of the corridors are lit up, but there are still some corners where the lights are broken or not installed at all, so the speed of walking is not fast, but there is a feeling of walking under the eaves.The lamps here are not incandescent lamps hanging from the roof, but mood night lights, some under lotus leaves, some on tree trunks, which would have looked very elegant as usual, but not so rosy on a rainy day that could have been haunted.This kind of night light, which is not very bright, seems to be faint and outstanding in the night, and every time the wind blows, it can bring out a little black shadow that grinds against each other, which makes people panic.Wang Huai was at the forefront, discussing with Gong Mingming about the outside world and liaising with foreign reincarnations.Xiao Li and Shen Mizhi stood side by side and fell last.He didn't open his mouth at first, he wanted to ask Shen Mizhi what he bought, but before he could ask this sentence, he suddenly raised his head into the corner - "What's wrong?"
”Shen Mirage asked.Xiao Li looked at the corner hesitantly, and finally said, "I seem to have seen a dark shadow." ”He used the word "as if" as if it were for him.But just now it was a very mysterious feeling, like a shadow on the retina walking quickly, which is probably an illusion caused by a light problem, so I can't be sure.Shen Mizhi glanced over there again: "There is nothing." ”Xiao Li retracted his gaze and walked forward.They still have a long winding road to go before they can get back to their guest rooms from the stilt village.The sound of rain outside the corridor is still there, and the level of the pond in the Sun family's house has risen more than a little, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will be flooded.As the crowd walked through the sound of the rain, a certain voice mingled in them, gradually approaching them."
Cough, cough, cough, cough, ......" is very inconspicuous because of the sound of rain, and when its volume increases to a certain level, it is heard by everyone.Wang Huai retracted his steps, leaned his back against the wall, and said vigilantly, "The cough is closer." ”"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......"
If before it was rain mixed with coughing, now it is coughing mixed with rain, and everyone can already hear the source of this coughing sound.It was clearly from a man, and its voice was thick, not thirsty, but a wet cough full of old phlegm, as if it would suffocate from coughing in the next second, but every time it reached a peak, its owner would slow down the speed of coughing, and it eased up again."
It's close to us."
Ye Zeqing quickly took out a stack of yellow paper from his coat pocket and held it in the palm of his hand, "It's closer, it's closer-" The cough was still in his ears.This time, in addition to these uncomfortable coughs, there was also a long sigh.It's like a sick person who learns that his life is short, he sighs for the last time in his life, and can't help coughing: "Hey...... cough cough ......
Ouch......"
When this last sigh sounded, Roseanne goosebumps spread everywhere, because it seemed to be already in her ears!
It's like this sick ghost, coughing into his own ear!
At this time, the yellow paper in Ye Zeqing's hand suddenly folded, and pointed towards the turn of the corridor in front of him - under the night light of the peony flower at the turn, a hunchbacked shadow slowly walked over.It was an old man who was bent over, his face was wrinkled, his back was hunched, he covered his mouth with one hand, he was coughing incessantly, he walked towards the reincarnations, and whispered to himself: "Ahem, my illness is getting worse and worse, you say, why am I the only one who has this disease?"
”At first, he only complained intermittently, but soon, he raised his head suddenly, and his eyes changed: "If you can get it, it would be good, cough cough, hey, hey......"
As he approached, there was a strong smell of medicine and a rotten aura rushing towards the reincarnations.Just as the sick ghost was about to reach out to grab the person in front of him, a cold voice interrupted the sick ghost's words: "How long have you been sick?"
”The sick ghost was stunned for a moment, and withdrew his hand, perhaps thinking of teasing the person in front of him before starting, but he still replied: "Cough, I think about it, it's not long, it's only a few months, this disease, it comes quickly, and it dies quickly, cough cough." ”Xiao Li then asked, "No doctor can cure you?"
”"yes, they can only look at me, cough cough, death."
The sick ghost gave a penetrating look, "It's really unfair, isn't it?"
”"Well," Xiao Li took out a business card, moving smoothly like a medical salesman, "If you don't mind, I know a doctor who is very accomplished in seeing patients, you can ask him to help you take a look." ”Before the sick ghost could answer, with a flash of white light on the business card, an atypical doctor wearing a bird's beak mask came to them actively, he turned his head and greeted Xiao Li in a friendly manner: "Patient Sherlock, meet again, is there any disease that I want to treat——" Halfway through his words, he had already noticed the sick ghost who couldn't stop coughing, his eyes immediately lit up, his tone rose, and he rubbed his hands excitedly: "Oops, oops, new cases, it's the type I've never seen!"
New challenges!
