Chapter 706: will-o'-the-wisp

The three of them walked to the secret passage, and the front was pitch black, so they couldn't see the way clearly. Li Haitang lit the candle with a torch, but the wind in the tunnel was too strong, and he repeated it two or three times, but the candle was still extinguished.

She didn't have the night vision ability like her savage husband, so none of the three could see the road in front of them, so they could only **** forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

There was a rustling sound in front of her, and a fluffy thing stepped on Zhang Ruyi's instep, which made her scream.

Originally, Li Haitang was not afraid, but was so stimulated by the scream that he almost dropped the things in his hands.

After a long while, she finally groped and lit the candle again, but she couldn't see anything nearby.

"Scary, creepy."

Zhang Ruyi hugged her arms and regretted following her a bit, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue walking down after her big words got out.

"Don't be afraid, it might be a mouse."

Wu Fu touched her chest, the scream was so ear-piercing that her eardrums hurt, and her heart also rose.

Zhang Ruyi covered her face, it was the rats that were scary, but don't forget, the current epidemic is caused by the fleas on the rats!

"Or, light a candle."

Li Haitang thought about it, put everything in Wufu's hands, and found a thick paper to make a lampshade to block the wind, but the flame of the candle flickered and became weaker.

Within half a meter, it was empty, but somehow there was some light. She and Zhang Ruyi walked in front, Wu Fu followed, and the three continued to move forward.

"Haitang, I dare not look at your face."

Zhang Ruyi tried her best to look forward. Just now she was not paying attention, and glanced at her good sister. Her face was pale and green, and her lips were red, just like a ghost.

She couldn't help thinking wildly. She went to Beijing all the way and heard many supernatural stories back and forth.

"Ha ha!"

Li Haitang tried his best to relax himself. When it came to talking about ghosts and ghosts, no one listened to them more than medical students.

The windows of the autopsy room, the small orange lights in the morgue, all kinds of messes, she can name dozens of them in one go.

As for the authenticity, there is no way to consider. Anyway, this thing is passed on by word of mouth, and everyone has a different version in their mouths.

"My home is in the village. There is a cemetery on the innermost side of the mountain, and there are often will-o'-the-wisps in summer."

When this topic was brought up, Wu Fu couldn't hold back, she herself was stupid and bold.

In the past, I often went through the cemetery to collect firewood and pick wild vegetables and wild fruits on the next mountain. Because of the will-o'-the-wisps, no one in the village dared to go, so there were a lot of things in that area, which were basically contracted by her.

"What color are the will-o'-the-wisps?"

Zhang Ruyi was afraid, so she couldn't help asking. She had heard of it too, and thought it was a bluff.

"There are many green ones, blue ones, and red ones."

When Wufu mentioned this, she was very scared at first, but she thought, she had never done anything wrong to others, and seeing those will-o'-the-wisps walking with her, it was like sending her home. She was not afraid at all, on the contrary, she was quite happy.

Li Haitang has black lines on his face, which is also a strange thing!

But about the will-o'-the-wisp, it can be explained scientifically. Burials are common in Daqi, and human bones contain phosphorus. The action of phosphorus and water or alkali will produce phosphorus oxide, which can store heat and has a low ignition point, so it is not surprising to see it in summer.

It was the first time Zhang Ruyi heard someone talk about her personal experience, and she couldn't help but wanted to talk about her own.

She was going to talk about it when she came back, but she hadn't seen Li Haitang and her sisters for a long time, and the focus was on the epidemic and the changes in the Ma family, so she really forgot.

"Mrs. Zhang, could it be that you have met her before?"

Wu Fu pricked up her ears, she took out a sesame seed cake from her small package, took a bite, ate with relish, and waited to hear the story.

The tunnel was dark, and the light from the candle could only illuminate a distance of about half a meter. It was pitch black in the distance, and nothing could be seen.

In this environment, don't talk about cheerful topics, but tell ghost stories. Li Haitang thought, thanks to his good psychological quality, otherwise he would have to be frightened.

It's a pity that no one considers her current feelings.

"That day, the carriage arrived at a small county called Peishui..."

Zhang Ruyi began to talk eloquently. That day, she was really impressed.

Peishui is not far from the capital, and it is snowing in the north, while in Peishui it is raining in winter, which hits the car wall coldly, making people shiver with cold.

It was dark, and I couldn't make out the direction around me, and I couldn't find my way at all.

The coachman had never been to this place, and he was not familiar with it. After walking around for a long time, he found a passerby.

Zhang Ruyi gave the other party a pack of snacks, and asked for directions by the way. There was a big deep pit ahead, and they could only take a detour to the inn in the county seat. In that case, it was already completely dark.

There are numbers all around, and it is not clear to distinguish the southeast, north, south, so, the family listened to the advice of passers-by and found a village to stay overnight.

When I entered the village, it was still dark, but the village was silent, only a few families were lighting dim oil lamps.

"I just thought, maybe it's the winter slack, and the villagers don't work, so they go to bed early?"

The coachman knew Feng Shui, and when he entered the village, he said that the water and soil in the village were not good, and the evil spirit was heavy, and the door orientation of every house was not good.

It's a pity that the sky was dark and it was still raining. If they didn't find someone to spend the night with, they would have nowhere to go, so they would have to stay overnight in the wilderness.

In this regard, Li Haitang agrees that sleeping in the wilderness is really not good, especially in the cold weather. If you find a house, at least you can get some hot water and wash up.

There were four of them including the coachman, so they needed at least two rooms, so they found a spacious house.

"I still have the impression of the **** iron gate."

Zhang Ruyi said while thinking about it, and heard that Wufu Shaobing didn't even eat, so she hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Zhang, don't be so secretive, what happened next?"

"We will spend the night at this family's house."

There was only an old couple in the other party's house, and several rooms were vacant. Mother Lu felt that it was not good for young couples to separate rooms, so she let her sleep with Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Yuanqing had a big heart, ate some noodles, and fell asleep after washing up, while Zhang Ruyi stared at the beams of the house and listened to the sound of rain outside the window, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

Wu Fu was very anxious, eager to listen to what was to come, thinking in his heart, Mrs. Zhang was exaggerating the atmosphere, and she hadn't gotten into the subject yet after talking so much.

"I can't sleep, I always feel that there is a cold wind under the bed."

In the villages around Kyoto, there are no shopkeepers. They are all beds, and the bottom of the bed is empty.

Zhang Ruyi stepped aside, she bent down and looked under the bed, but there was nothing.

"I'm here."

As she said that, Zhang Ruyi had a weird expression. At that time, she really heard an ethereal voice coming from under the bed, which was very, very clear.

"Did you hear me wrong?" People often scare themselves. There is no such thing as ghosts. If there are ghosts, ghosts will have to settle accounts with evil people.
