A Guest In A Ghost House - Chapter 212 I Would Take Her Back
I also followed her. In front of me appeared a small pool, which was estimated to be less than 10 squares. The surface of the water gave off a soft white light, just like the fog.
In the white light, the pool of water can be seen to be very clear and even made people have the impulse of Jumping down and swimming.
Witch Yan began to observe it very carefully. However, neither I nor my mom nor Wu Jian had this professional quality. We quickly picked up our cell phones and began to take pictures at the same time, and the sound of taking pictures and the flash came one after another.
Just as we had a good time, an old and strange voice shouted, “Stop taking pictures! Stop!”
Then, after a wave of shaking of trees, opposite the pool came out a dark figure and it waved hard at us to let us stop taking pictures. Seeing we all stopped, the black figure just knelt on the edge of the pool and kept kowtowing toward the pool, talking about something again and again.
My mom was shocked, so I and Wu Jian immediately went up to protect my mom, but witch Yan used the flashlight in her hand to shine on that black figure. Actually, there was no need using the flashlight, because I could clearly see it with the help of the strange white light in the pool.
There was an old man on the opposite, whose hair was all white and clothes was ragged. I couldn’t even tell whether it was a man or woman.
The old man seems to be doing a ritual and a few simple actions were repeated over and over again. It was not until the ninth time that he stood up and came up to us along the edge of the pool.
The old man walked very slowly, but even if the pace was very slow, his body would still shake from time to time, which the people who was seeing him very scared. After a long time, the old man walked in front of us. The thing, which the old man wore, was not so much the clothes as a rag, which wrapped on the body layer by layer. In addition, I also didn’t know what he wore on his feet. At least I didn’t recognize it and it was a little like a combination of straw shoes and boots.
The old man’s face and hair looked very strange. It was not other feeling, but too clean, terribly clean. Therefore, it was just like his face and his body were from two totally different people. Only now the two people were reluctantly put together.
Although the old man was dressed up as a vagrant, but his words sounded very gentle. Just his voice was very unpleasant to hear, “My surname is Lin and my first name is a single word of Mu. Who are you? why are you here in the middle of the night? Even you are taking the picture. What if you guys make the God get angry? Just leave right now and don’t come back again.”
Lin Mu just glanced at me unhappy, then had a look at the pool and said, “Leave. Just leave quickly.”
witch Yan laughed at him and said, “Old bro., Do you know the man in the pool? ”
Lin Mu’s face changed greatly, looking at witch Yan in horror and just said, “You…You…You…”, but he couldn’t say the next words.
I stretched my head and had a look of the pool. In the white light, I could almost see the rocks under the pool through the clear pool, but I could not see there was man in any way.
“Hey, do you see anything?” I touched Wu Jian, who was also looking at the pool, just like me, and asked him in a low voice.
Wu Jian shook his head and also replied to me that he didn’t.
Until 林木 looked at witch Yan in doubt for a long time, he spoke, “It seems that you have also learned something, so hurry up and just leave.”
After looking at林木for a long time, witch Yan suddenly thought of something and gave a cry of surprise, “Nine lifetime of wronged ghost!”
林木kept his eyes widely open and looked at the pool for a long time. Until seeing there seemed to be no change, he said, “I thought you are very old. How can’t you still understand that? Just leave quickly.”
witch Yan nodded, took a look at that pool, then bent over and saluted me and let us leave. Although I didn’t know what the nine lifetimes of wronged ghost was, I knew that there was a reason for witch Yan to let us go. Besides, from her eyes looking at the pool, I could find a kind of thing called fear that had almost never appeared on her.
Chen Long didn’t want to leave, but it was obvious that he could persuade witch Yan, so he finally still was dragged back to the hotel. After going back to the hotel, although I had a lot of doubts, after all, it was too late, I did not ask anyone and just went to rest like others.
Maybe the nine lifetime of wronged ghost really scared witch Yan. The next day, when the sky just began to become bright, she started to wake us up and asked us to prepare to get back. This group of people all had the right to speak, except Chen Long, me and Wu Jian, so we said nothing and had to yawn.
However, when everyone gathered in the lobby, we found that Chen Long hadn’t come down and he also wasn’t in the room. After asking receptionist who worked during the night, we got to know that Chen Long left alone not long after he came back to the hotel.
All of us know that he must have gone back to the pool alone, but I didn’t speak and only waited for the arrangements of witch Yan. At this moment, witch Yan was walking around in the lobby anxiously and a flicker of struggling flashed across his face from time to time.
The performance of witch Yan gave me more certainty about the horror of the ninth lifetime wronged ghost and it even could made her come up an idea of giving up Chen Long.
In the end, she still decided to go to the pool and she just kept telling us to listen to her and keep from the pool as far as we could.
In fact, I was curious about the pool. Just as we had just walked out of the hotel gate, we found Chen Long had come back, and he had become very different.
His skin became smooth and even there also was a little redder, and it seemed to be no different from an ordinary people. The biggest exaggeration was that his sunken shoulders had returned to normal and he was smiling towards us.
What was unexpected was that witch Yan even didn’t blame Chen Long, and only my mom said a few words, but my mom was quickly stopped by witch Yan. Besides, it seemed that witch Yan deliberately kept far away from Chen Long. Maybe he was so happy that he even didn’t notice this point, but I did.
All of us didn’t stay again. We finally ended this weird trip and began to get back. On the way back, when mom asked Chen Long what happened last night, he just simply described that he went to the pool and took a bath for a while, and then he ended this topic quickly.
Along the way, it was a lot more silent than when we came here. witch Yan didn’t speak, but also deliberately stopped my mom and Chen Long from talking. Later, he also had realized that and no longer spoke.
At the intersection of the old city, witch Yan decided to let Chen Long out of the car. Until seeing he went very far away from us, she severely told us not to have any touch with him. As for the reason, she didn’t tell us.
I, Wu Jian and Ni Min didn’t dare to ask her but my mom directly asked her. When I wanted to listen to what they would say carefully, witch Yan hesitated for a moment and pulled my mom over, so even mom let us not ask about this again.
This thing was supposed to end like this. Even if the pool was so weird and the nine lifetime of wronged ghost was very scaring, after all, they were far from us. As for Chen Long, we also had already helped him, so nobody cared about this again anymore.
Just when I thought Chen Long’s thing was over and even decided to try to help Wu Jian find out the man who would kill Ni Min, Chen Long called us and his tone was very strange.
“I’ll take her back.”
