Chapter 6 - Scholartree Manor

The crying sound was extremely ear-piercing, as if a newborn baby had been scalded with hot iron. It was heartbreaking.

So much so that I had to free a hand to cover my ears.

Ji Yayun was so scared that her tears started to fly out. She no longer held on to her feet and just squatted on the ground, covering her mouth and crying.

The child continued to cry …

Sang Lan, who was being carried by me, suddenly trembled as if she was electrocuted!

She was slim but tall, and once she shook, it was hard for me to hold her in one arm.

Judging from her appearance, she was obviously possessed by a ghost.

At this moment, how could I dare to let go? If I were to let go, she might go crazy.

Thus, I had no choice but to use my two hands to wrap her up in my arms. I coldly placed the spiritual altar on the back of her head as I quickly recited the incantation of magic from the tattered book:

"Go in the nineties, wander around in the Primordial Era, protect the gods, dispel the heavenly crimes …"

After a while, Sang Lan stopped shaking, as though she had recovered some consciousness. Both of her hands supported the sink, and he started to vomit again.

"Ugh …" "Ugh …"

After another fit of retching, she began to pant.

His body trembled slightly, but it was only a natural reaction.

"What are you doing?" Sang Lan suddenly asked in fear.

After a period of torment, even though I was both scared and tired, I was still breathing heavily.

He slowly raised his head and saw the two of them in the mirror. His nose was bleeding.

Sang Lan had already recovered her previous fair appearance, after vomiting, her lower abdomen had also returned to normal.

The towel had slipped.

I, on the other hand, was hugging her from behind in a gesture of undue intimacy.

Before she could lose her temper, I let her go and ran back to my room, where I pulled an Evil Repellent out of my bag.

Returning back to the living room, Sang Lan had already wrapped herself in a bath towel and helped the paralyzed Ji Yayun into a chair.

She covered her stomach with both hands and stared at me in bewilderment. "What just happened?"

Ignoring her, I picked up an eye bottle and dripped two drops into my eyes. I picked up a talisman, looked around, and quickly went to the bathroom.

Only then did I notice that there was a pile of green leaves floating in the tub, reflecting the water green.

After searching for a while, he still couldn't find anything. Seeing a cellphone on the counter, he picked it up and returned to the living room.

"Your cell phone."

I handed the phone to Sang Lan, and when I thought about the charming sounds I heard earlier, I couldn't help but laugh.

Before this girl was tricked, could she be on the phone with someone …

"What is this?" Sang Lan pointed to the bottle of eye drops on the table.

"When you kill an ox, you can see ghosts when the tears of an ox fall into your eyes."

As I explained things to her, I looked inside her and Ji Yayun's room, but didn't discover anything.

"What did I do? "I feel terrible." Sang Lan said as he rubbed his stomach.

I glanced at her. "Put your clothes on first."

I thought to myself, this girl is quite rational. She didn't say that I was deliberately taking advantage of her.

Ji Yayun asked me while crying, "Master, didn't you say that the thing that was drenched in dog blood would not come?"

"If it's a guy wearing red or green, then we're all done playing."

I lit a cigarette and took a drag.

When I hugged Sang Lan earlier, her body was already wet. Adding to the fact that she was vomiting everywhere, the bandage on my left arm was completely drenched.

I felt the dampness, so I undid the gauze.

Look at the wound. It's already scarred.

The scar was a bit like the lightning that spread when thunder struck. The bloody scar was very dark, and it seemed somewhat eerie.

I looked again and grinned at myself. This is really an accident, causing me to become nervous. I feel that something is amiss with everything I look at.

After Sang Lan finished putting on her clothes, she asked me, "Master, did I get cheated just now?"

I nodded and smiled. "Where did you get that grapefruit leaf for your bath?"

"I bought it online."

"Hehe, you can sell anything on the internet. Did the seller tell you to soak the grapefruit leaves in the bathtub? " I teased her.

Sang Lan stomped his feet, "You're still joking at such a time?"

Ji Yayun anxiously asked, "Master, if it isn't Red Shoes, then what was that just now?"

I smoked and said, "It's not just the red shoes that tie you up, it's the ghost. If you get entangled by that evil being, then your luck will naturally be lower. With bad luck at your beck and call, it will be easier for you to provoke other evils. "

At this point, my face felt a little hot. Regarding this point, I should have thought about it long ago.

I said, "Don't call me master either, it sounds weird, just call me Xu Huo."

"What is with this mahjong?" Ji Yayun cowered and pointed to the mahjong table.

I looked at the mahjong tree that hadn't completely dispersed and thought about how my child was crying just now. I felt that something wasn't right.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't stand being scared anymore, he said, "It's nothing much, go to sleep."

The next morning, I was woken by the sound of the phone.

Sang Lan was originally very loud, but when she saw me come out, she made an apologetic gesture towards me. She sneakily glanced at me once, then took the phone and entered the room.

When I saw her close the door, I couldn't help but twitch my mouth. Isn't it just that small matter? There's no need to be so secretive about it.

I didn't see Zhang Xi's reply and didn't bother to call him again. I randomly showered, ate breakfast at the hotel, and then drove straight to the orchard.

As he was leaving, the sky turned dark. He had just left the county city when it started raining heavily.

I was not very familiar with the road. The more it rained, the more I couldn't tell which way to go.

After driving along the road in the countryside for a while, Ji Yayun saw that I had worked hard, so she suggested to find a place to stop for a while and wait for the rain to subside before leaving.

As I happened to pass by a village, I stopped in front of a small shop at the head of the village.

The three of them got off the bus in the rain and ran inside. Only then did they realize that this was a grocery store run by a farmer, but it was actually an open window.

Seeing that there was no one in, Sang Lan walked to the main entrance, knocked on the door, and asked loudly: "Is there anyone here?"

After shouting a few times, no one agreed. I patted her on the shoulder and said, "Let's go in first. We can't stay outside in the rain."

As the three of them entered the room and were wiping away the rain on their bodies, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the corner of the room:

"Who is it?"

Sang Lan and Ji Yayun were both shocked by the sudden voice.

I shuddered.

Following the voice, he looked towards a dark corner and saw an old man slowly standing up from a chair in the corner.

I took a deep breath and said, "Old man, we were just passing by. It's raining heavily, can we stay here for a while?" I looked at the old man as I spoke.

The old man was at least over sixty years old, his hair was graying, and his body was slightly hunched.

He straightened up and said, "Oh, sit down."

"Thank you, sir." Ji Yayun and Sang Lan hurriedly nodded their heads to thank the old man.

I brushed off the rain and leaned against the doorframe as I lit a cigarette. The old man then asked, "Why have the three of you come to our Huai Yuan Village?"

I hastily turned my head. "Uncle, I'm not familiar with the road. I was originally planning to go to Little Peach Garden Village.

"Little Peach Garden Village? Are you lost? "

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at me. "Hur Hur, you guys are really muddle-headed. You can get lost even by doing this?"

"Isn't it raining?"

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, I took out the cigarette case and shook it out. "Can you give me one?"

The old man's eyes narrowed into two slits again, as if he was staring at me for a moment, then he shook his head. "No."

As I turned to put the case away, a figure brushed past me.

This person's speed was extremely fast, to the point that the cigarette that had been blown out was sucked out, falling onto the ground.

"Ding Fushun!" The man called out a name in a low voice, then turned around and walked to the edge of the door.

He went in and out so fast that I didn't even see what he looked like, but I was so dazzled that I felt his face was dark.

I was looking at the back of this person and was puzzled. Suddenly, someone beside me said, "Wait a moment, let's smoke a cigarette."

Startled, I turned around and saw that the old man had somehow gotten up from his recliner and was standing next to me. He was holding a cigarette between two fingers of his right hand and was waving it at the person outside the door.

"Then hurry up, don't delay the time." The person said before walking out into the rain with his arms wrapped around his shoulders.

"Is there fire?"

Hearing the old man's question, I hurriedly turned my head and took out my lighter as I subconsciously looked at the ground.

"Hiss …" I said, 'Master, this cigarette has fallen to the ground. Don't smoke anymore.

It was only then that I realized the old man was holding the cigarette that had just been wiped away.

The old man waved his hand and said no.

When I saw that he was smoking, I lit the cigarette for him.

The old man was standing beside me, smoking in silence for a while as he faced the heavy rain outside.

Suddenly he looked up at me. "What's your name?"

I said, "My name is Xu Huo."

"Xu Huo?"

The old man raised his white eyebrows and then nodded as he muttered, "What a good name. It really suits you."

The old man suddenly raised his hand and put it on my shoulder, staring at me with his face raised, and said word by word, "Xu Huo, you are really going to die this time!"
