However, after the waiter had left, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu felt a strange chill in the room.
She didn't believe in ghosts or gods, so she didn't care much about it. She searched the room thoroughly, but didn't find anything strange, so she didn't put it to heart.
On the other hand, Lu Jinfeng's expression was a little nervous. After dinner, he specifically ran over to her room and warned her: "I'm living next door, if you're afraid, call me by my name."
However, Chen Mu Mu didn't appreciate the gesture and chuckled, "I remember you being even more timid than me, but I still called out to you. Do you dare to come over?"
This was related to the dignity of a man, so Lu Jinfeng glared at her angrily: "Who cares about my guts, in short, I left my words here, if you're afraid just shout at me, if you're not afraid just pretend I didn't say anything."
It was clearly a kind words, but he really didn't like hearing it.
Chen Mu Mu Mu raised his hands, "Rest assured, if I am afraid, I will definitely call for you. We will be in the same boat if we are lucky. I don't want you to follow me in fear." Being alone is not as scary as being surrounded by people. "
This woman's words were really unpleasant to hear.
Lu Jinfeng was enraged, he did not bother to pay attention to her anymore and turned to leave.
Chen Mu Mu Mu disapproved as well, bickering with Lu Jinfeng every two or three days. It would be weird if he stopped bickering with her one day.
It was said that those with worries did not sleep soundly, while Chen Mu Mu's quality of sleep was surprisingly good. The inn's environment was rather simple and crude, but the blankets were warm. Once Chen Mu entered, he fell asleep very quickly.
Then she had nightmares.
In the dream, she went back to her previous life and dreamed that her father, who was in the business world, had forced her mother to death. Afterwards, her stepmother would often beat her up, so she went to live with her grandfather in the countryside. Her life had been quite comfortable, but as soon as she graduated from junior high school, her father had come to the village and taken her to the city.
The stepmother gave birth to a son, who feared that she would rob his property and frame him. Once, she even poisoned his food. She knew by the smell that there was something wrong with the food, and she excused herself from going upstairs. But she didn't eat it, and her father did.
When his stepmother and son returned from shopping, his father had died from a poison attack. In order to steal her inheritance and slander her, her stepmother had been forced to the extreme step by step. In the end, she had become a general and had her stepmother suffer the consequences of her actions.
However, things weren't over yet. Her stepmother's son, her younger brother, thought that she had killed his parents. His heart twisted as he knew that she cared about him the most.
She would never be able to forget the savage look on her stepson's face, nor his cruel eyes, much less his mocking voice.
He said, Chen Mu Mu Mu, this is karma, you see, the people you care about the most have died because of you.
He said, "Chen Mu Mu, look, you also have such a day, don't you feel heartache?"
He said, "Chen Mu Mu, I want you to remember that you are a bane, and that you will only bring disaster to those around you. Everyone who cares about you must die!"
… ….
She remembered sitting in front of her grandfather's grave, helplessly hugging her knees and crying, crying her heart out and crying her lungs out. However, in the end, no one cared about her feelings, no one cared about her. The dream was dark, like a hopeless void.
She kept on crying until she was tired. Suddenly, sharp sounds of wind and ghosts came from all around her. Countless hands reached towards her …
"Scram!" She had failed to live, but she still hadn't avenged her grandfather. She still had a wish to fulfill, so how could she die in such a useless manner! Chen Mu Mu cried out in alarm as he suddenly opened his eyes.
It was still night time, and the room was still pitch black. However, because the bright moon was shining through the cracks in the window, it was possible to make out a bit of things in the room.
This was … In ancient times.
Chen Mu Mu Mu regained his consciousness and wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead as he lightly sighed.
Having been in the ancient times for such a long time, she had never had a dream. She had never thought that she would have a dream today. Furthermore, it was so deep in her dreams that she almost couldn't wake up. Especially the crying in her dreams, it almost made her unable to breathe.
It was so painful to cry, so painful to despair... Wait, is there really a cry?
Chen Mu Mu listened attentively, and indeed, he could hear faint wails coming from every corner of the room. It was the despair and sorrow of a little girl, so helpless that it made one's heart ache. However, this heartache that came in the night wasn't an effect that caused one to feel heartache, but was rather one that caused one to feel a chill down their spine.
Could it really be a ghost?
Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't help but shudder. After muttering to himself irresolutely, he got off the bed.
How can there be any ghosts in this world? Even if there are, they are man-made ghosts.
She had checked during the day, and there was no place for someone to enter. Now that she checked, there was no one in the room either. However, the crying could not be done for no reason. She pushed open the door and angrily shouted, "Shopkeeper, come out!"
Her voice was loud, making it seem exceptionally sudden in the deserted night. Not only did it frighten the shopkeeper awake, it also scared off the sound of her crying.
"Dear guest, why are you shouting so much if you're not going to sleep? We've been busy all day and we're tired." The shopkeeper came out with a kerosene lamp, yawning as he complained.
"Your room is haunted, what's going on? There's a girl in the middle of the night who's been crying non-stop. Chen Mu Mu couldn't explain how someone was crying, so he decided to drag the matter onto the ghost.
"Girls keep crying?" It was unknown if it was her imagination, but Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu seemed to see a hint of panic on the shopkeeper's face.
"Other than you, there are no other girls staying in our inn today. Where did this girl come from?" Having his sleep disturbed in the middle of the night, the head storekeeper was not in a good mood, "Listen and hear it yourself. Where did the crying come from? If you don't want to sleep, then I'll sleep too, no?"
Chen Mu Mu was dumbfounded, because right now, she had truly not heard the sound of her weeping.
"But just now, I heard the sound of crying. You have to tell me what happened, right? Otherwise, how can I sleep when people are panicking?"
"Customer, I've already said that there are no other female guests staying in the inn today." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and yawned, then turned around and walked back. "If you hear any strange sounds, it should be an illusion. Women's way of thinking is filled with cowardice."
The shopkeeper ignored him. Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't drag him upstairs to have a look. The question was, why was there no crying now?
Chen Mu Mu Mu was suspicious and searched in all four directions, but couldn't find anyone strange. He could only return to his room and continue sleeping.
She still had things to do at daybreak, so where else would she get the spirit if she didn't sleep?
But who would have thought that just as she closed her eyes, that weeping voice rang in her ears again. It was faintly discernible, intermittent, and exceptionally cold that came through the night.
"If this goes on, I won't be scared to death by the ghosts. I'll be tortured to death as well."
Chen Mu Mu pummelled the bed board with frustration, "It's not over yet, but the debt is mine. If you have any unhappiness, you can go and find your creditor. Why are you pestering me?" Even if you have any grievances and want me to help you, just come out and say it.
Perhaps that woman was really listening to her, the moment Chen Mu Mu Mu's voice faded, the sound of her crying suddenly stopped.
Chen Mu Mu Mu listened attentively for a while, but still couldn't hear the crying sound. She lay down and was about to fall asleep, but just as she closed her eyes, a banging sound came from the next room. Chen Mu Mu's nerves immediately tensed up.
Who's next door to her? Lu Jinfeng!
How could Lu Jinfeng, that thief, allow someone to break into his room and throw things, especially at night, when something must have happened?
Originally, the woman's crying had made him restless. Now that Lu Jinfeng's room was in such a mess, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu couldn't sit still any longer and quickly got out of the room.
The sound of tables and chairs smashing was still being heard in Lu Jinfeng's room, as if someone was fighting. Chen Mu Mu Mu pushed open the door and saw Lu Jinfeng holding onto a wooden stick, entangled with a black clothed man. Suddenly, he heard the door open, and Lu Jinfeng and the black clothed man's attention immediately turned to her.
"Be careful!" In the moment of light, Lu Jinfeng's pupils contracted as he shouted loudly.
Chen Mu Mu Mu sensed that something was amiss, and just as he was about to take a step back, a cold wind blew past his back and a shining sword appeared at her neck.
The sharpness of the sword clearly had not yet embedded itself into the flesh, yet he could already feel the pain as if his skin was being cut off.
"Stop or I'll kill her!" Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu could clearly feel a cold sensation on his neck as a cold liquid flowed out from the cut on his neck, carrying a thick smell of blood.
Chen Mu's lips pursed as a trace of a cold arc flashed across his eyes.
Why, did he treat her like a sick cat?
Lu Jinfeng was not a match for the black-clothed man in the first place. Seeing that Chen Mu Mu had been captured, he panicked and put down the wooden stick in his hand.
"At least you're sensible." The black-clothed man laughed coldly, and kicked Lu Jinfeng fiercely, "Brat, I'll let you hit me! "Go to hell!"
Someone had actually lost something to protect her.
Chen Mu Mu's fingers moved slightly, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. Reaching down, he pinched the air forcefully.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The person holding Chen Mu back screamed miserably, the sword in his hand crumbled, falling to the ground with a crash. He did not even bother to pick up his sword as he used both hands to cover his crotch …
It was shaking like a silver carp.
The black-clothed man who taught Lu Jinfeng a lesson couldn't help but shiver. Just at that moment, a person suddenly came in through the window that Lu Jinfeng opened, and in the instant the black-clothed man let out a whoosh, he was kicked to the ground. With a point of his fingers, the black-clothed man was no longer able to move.
The speed of those who rushed in was extremely fast. After taking care of the black-clad figure, they instantly arrived at the side of the person who held Chen Mu Mu in hostage. With a flick of their fingers, the person was left with only gasps and wails.
"Little girl, you're amazing. Your attack was so heavy, the egg must have shattered, right?" The man looked at the man on the ground with a twisted expression and said with a smile.
