Wind chimes flew across the sky, the sound of "ding ding dong dong" was endless, and the golden light became more and more blazing.
Poor two Yinchai, wearing tall hats and official clothes, when they broke into the door, they might have imagined the scene of tying me up and were very proud, with morbid excitement on their pale faces, but they encountered such a thing out of thin air, and they were almost scared to death.
"Run!"
One of the Yinchai reacted very quickly, turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Unfortunately, it was too late, the wind chime hit the back of its head accurately, and at that moment the golden light was blazing, and I saw the tough man again, wearing armor and holding two maces, rushing out of the golden light, and the Yinchai who was hit on the head with a stick flew out of the tall hat, "gurgle" and rolled out.
Seeing this, another Yinchai with a face like a horse shouted: "Stop, sir, we are..."
"Hey!"
The big man in the golden light shouted violently, very unruly, and didn't listen to the other party's introduction at all. He swung his double mace and slapped the other party's horse face directly. The force was so fierce that I could even clearly see that the Yinchai's face was deformed for a moment, his head was almost blown up, and his face was shaking, which was turbulent and spectacular!
This is the best opportunity. I am in danger and have no time to appreciate the scene of the strong man in the wind chime torturing the Yinchai. I took the opportunity to escape. If it's too late, I might be suppressed by the strong man. I'm afraid I will be beaten to death with a stick.
The red dragon had been thrown away in the wild run, and the burning pain was no longer there, but my body became light and fluttering, like a gust of wind, very weak. That thing has too much yang energy and is very harmful to me.
I didn't dare to take it lightly. Even after I rushed out, I was still running for my life.
Even so, not long after, the two ghosts still caught up with me from a distance, one holding a shackle, and the other holding a chain, shouting and gritting their teeth in hatred of me.
Seeing this, I fled even more desperately. If I really fell into the hands of these two, I would probably have a hard time even being a ghost, let alone a human being.
I was looking forward to the dawn, because I knew that the ghosts were different from ordinary ghosts. They had no rules. They appeared at three o'clock in the morning and returned to their positions at the crowing of cocks. They could not go back after staying in the world for one day, and completely became lonely ghosts!
Unfortunately, things in the world don't go as one wishes. The more I looked forward to it, the less I could wait for the dawn. Something was wrong. When I went home, it was clearly four o'clock in the morning. It should be dawn at this time, but it was pitch black all around, and dawn was out of reach.
I don't know how many turns I made, how long I ran, and I was getting weaker and weaker. Just when I was about to give up, I finally saw a glimmer of light in front of me.
I carefully identified the surroundings and was overjoyed.
I had been running in the dark, which made me feel confused in time and space, as if I had entered a world of ghosts. After coming here, at least I was sure that I was still in a familiar city.
I knew that the street in front of me was called Poor Ghost Alley by the locals. It was said that many refugees poured in during the war and were settled here. Many people starved to death and the bodies were piled up one layer after another.
However, this place is now more prosperous, with many nightclubs. After I rushed into the alley, I saw many men and women wandering the streets in the middle of the night, but they seemed to be unable to see me and the ghosts chasing me behind me, and passed by me as if no one was around.
I didn't have time to pay attention to these things. Walking into this alley, I felt inexplicably at ease.
It seemed that... coming here, I had escaped death.
In other words, it was not this alley that made me feel at ease, but a certain place in this alley, which seemed to be attracting me and telling me that it was my destination...
"Could it be the gate of hell? I heard that the gate of hell would attract ghosts..."
I was a little confused in my heart, but my speed did not stop at all. The attraction was getting stronger and stronger, almost to the point of being out of control. I was completely following an instinct and running in one direction, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and I actually left the two ghost messengers far away.
Not long after, I stopped in front of an old building that looked a bit old. On the building, two words were crookedly pieced together with red light strips - hotel.
It was here that attracted me. While the two ghost messengers could not catch up for a while, I looked at this place and felt familiar inexplicably, but I didn't know the reason, so I didn't dare to walk in rashly.
In front of the building, an old man sat on a small stool, still guarding the road in the middle of the night. It was very strange. His face was dark, and he hung his head expressionlessly. I don't know what he was thinking about. He was wearing an old Zhongshan suit and a front cap. His clothes were very dirty, but they were shiny under the street lights.
This should be a person!
I saw the shadow of the old man, but... who would be here in the middle of the night?
At this time, a young man wearing a baseball cap came to the old man with a sly look and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, uncle, do you have that?"
The old man raised his head, and I saw that there was only white in his eyes, no pupils, which scared the young man. He moved away a little, and the old man whispered: "What?"
The young man smiled, but his smile was extremely vulgar: "Miss, do you have it?"
The old man's white eyeballs rolled in his eye sockets, as if staring at the young man, making people worry that the eyeballs would fall out directly. The voice was almost squeezed out of the nasal cavity, and he said expressionlessly: "Well, I have it, there is a bitch in the backyard."
The young man's face turned green, and he said angrily: "Why do you talk like this..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man growled impatiently: "Get out!"
The young man was shocked, looked at the old man angrily, and turned away.
After sending the young man away, the old man finally turned his head and stared at me without blinking.
My heart skipped a beat, and my intuition told me that this old man could definitely see me!
After looking at me for a moment, the old man raised his eyebrows, showed an unfathomable smile, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's not in vain to guard all night, there is an interesting person."
After that, he hooked his finger at me and called me to come forward. Then he came to me and looked again and again. The old oil smell on his body was very pungent, which made me want to stay away from him involuntarily, because the smell seemed to threaten me, and my whole body was hairy and faintly nauseous.
The old man reacted quickly, not allowing me to retreat, grabbed my wrist, and asked with a smile: "Are there any elders at home?"
I nodded subconsciously, not understanding what the other party meant.
"That's good, that's good. With elders around, you don't have to worry about staying in a bully hotel."
The old man shook his head, seeming very satisfied. He glanced at the two ghosts chasing after him with bared fangs and claws, and said in a very tempting tone: "Don't you want to go down? You're right. It's not fun down there. Which of you is not sick? If you really go down, I'll have to settle accounts with you. Going through mountains of knives and boiling water is not a big deal. There are many ways to make you call daddy, but don't be afraid. As long as you stay at my hotel, I guarantee that no one can take you away."
I saw the two ghosts getting closer and closer to me. I was so anxious that I wanted to jump up, but no matter how I struggled, I couldn't get rid of the old man's hand. I had no choice but to say hurriedly: "Okay, I'll stay at your hotel, isn't it okay?"
"Okay!"
The old man pushed me into the yard and said, "The first room on the second floor, turn left, is empty."
I breathed a sigh of relief. This old man was very strange. Maybe he could really keep me safe tonight. I didn't dare to stay and ran forward immediately. Just when I reached the door of the building, the old man suddenly called me from behind.
"I forgot to remind you that I don't charge for staying in this hotel. As for what you want, ask your elders to come over tomorrow morning and discuss in detail!"
The old man smiled and looked like he had no good idea. He said, "If your elders don't agree, I'm not afraid of staying in a bully hotel here. You can stay and work for me to pay off your debts."
The inn that is not afraid of ghost messengers and can protect ghosts does not charge money but has other conditions. If they don't agree, they will sell themselves...
This series of connections made me shudder. I had some guesses and shuddered. I hurriedly looked around carefully.
However, there were five completely different trees planted in front of the old building, namely - willow, mulberry, locust, big-leaf poplar, and chinaberry.
Then I hurriedly looked at the old building again. The eaves were not tilted downwards, but slightly tilted upwards...
As expected!
I smiled bitterly. I just got out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den. This place... should be the kind of place in the legend. I didn't expect it to really exist...
