Chapter 196 A wave of unrest
Chapter 196 A wave of unrest
Qingqing's bed was surrounded by yellow talisman papers, which looked very eerie in the dim environment. It made people feel that this place was used to suppress evil spirits, rather than an ordinary girl's boudoir.
"Why does it feel so quiet?" Chu Yu restrained her strength and breath. Although she had the physical strength of a spirit king and her five senses were extremely developed, she could feel the slightest vibration in the air. But at the moment, she closed her eyes and could not use her spiritual sense. She still reluctantly asked Miss Shenhun to help her find the way in the dark.
"Chu Yu, in a desperate situation, you came up with such a weird idea, pretending to sleepwalk?"
Shenhun complained unhappily.
"You said it was a matter of urgency. It was just a momentary emergency." Chu Yu explained to her patiently and stepped into the house.
She took the first step, and the four people in the room seemed to be frightened by her and held their breath.
"Tsk, Chu Yu, you are scarier than ghosts now." Shenhun found it quite strange that they were pretending to be ghosts.
"Have you seen that ghost cultivator? What does he look like?" Chu Yu asked curiously.
"I can't see it. If you want me to use my spiritual sense to scan it, that's fine." The soul responded.
"Uh, forget it. Don't alarm the person behind Pingyuan County. Xiaolin should be in front of me, right?" Chu Yu roughly sensed the position of the crowd and there was one right in front of her.
"No, no, no, that's Boss Yang. He's very brave and is ready to sneak up on you."
As soon as Shenhun finished speaking, Chu Yu heard an extremely light sound of footsteps.
Boss Yang took a small step forward tremblingly. Xiaolin, Mrs. Yang, and Yang Qingqing all took a deep breath out of fear.
Seeing that Chu Yu did not make any unnecessary movements and just walked forward blindly, Boss Yang did not dare to move. He just looked carefully and found that Chu Yu had his eyes closed.
Boss Yang quickly gestured to tell everyone that Chu Yu had his eyes closed.
This weird scene made everyone feel even more chilled. However, Boss Yang watched Chu Yu getting closer and closer to him, and cautiously reached out his hand to feel under her nose.
Chu Yu surprisingly cooperated with his behavior and stood there letting him smell his breath.
After feeling a burst of warm breath, Boss Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
"She's sleepwalking." Boss Yang whispered to the people around him.
"What?" Mrs. Yang seemed a little confused, but she answered in a low voice.
"Sleepwalking." Boss Yang was gesturing with his hands. This scene made Chu Yu so amused that he couldn't help laughing.
After knowing that Chu Yu was sleepwalking, the other four people breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not possessed or something.
At this moment, Qingqing also calmed down, as if the thing that had just scared her was attracted by something.
Boss Yang looked at Chu Yu and secretly complained: "It's ok for this girl to be able to go downstairs by herself in her sleep, but how can she be so strong that she can break open the door?"
Thinking of this, Boss Yang suddenly became afraid again. What if there really was some unclean thing attached to this girl?
Before he could continue to think about it, Chu Yu suddenly touched his head and said, "Your hair is messy, you need to fix it."
After saying that, she walked back and forth, raised her hand as if looking for something, and finally touched the edge of the table where Xiaolin was sitting.
Then she wanted to sit down facing the table immediately, but there was no stool behind her. Xiao Lin had heard from the elders that one should not forcibly wake up a sleepwalker, but seeing that this girl was about to sit down empty-handed, it would not be good to wake her up, right?
So Xiao Lin put down the comb, quickly found a stool, and placed it steadily under Chu Yu's butt.
Chu Yu sat down as if nothing had happened, searching for something on the table with his hands. Xiao Lin reached out to take the comb, but Chu Yu, a sleepwalker, was several times faster than him. Before Xiao Lin realized what was happening, the comb was already in Chu Yu's hand.
Everyone was stunned. Even Qingqing, who had almost lost her soul due to fright, was so shocked that she forgot to speak for a moment.
Chu Yu felt the comb and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
This is made of ancient jade. Xiaolin has been holding it in his hand just now, but now he doesn't feel any warmth at all. It's cold to the bone.
"That's it!" The soul confirmed in the sea of consciousness.
Chu Yu closed her eyes and sat in front of the coffee table, as if she was dressing herself in front of a mirror, combing her hair, which was not messy to begin with.
A woman in white was sitting in front of the coffee table, putting on her makeup.
Everyone stared at the scene in amazement, feeling an indescribable sense of weirdness.
At this moment, Chu Yu felt a cold figure appear beside him. Even without opening his eyes, he could feel a pair of eyes full of resentment staring at him.
A soft strand of hair brushed across the back of Chu Yu's hand, making her feel a chill down her spine.
"Um... I suddenly don't want to open my eyes. Please help me find the way back." Chu Yu said to Shenhun for no reason.
"Then... let's go." Shenhun pondered for a while, and for the first time in his life he did not refute Chu Yu, and ordered her to stand up.
Qingqing suddenly felt that the cold feeling on her body disappeared. She was already frightened and her soul was unstable. At this moment, she could see a vague figure following behind Chu Yu.
It was that figure!
Qingqing was so scared that she was about to scream, but Madam Yang covered her mouth tightly.
Boss Yang and Xiao Lin were so shocked by the scene that they were speechless. They looked at each other, felt something was wrong, and followed.
He finally mustered up the courage to walk out of the house, but found that even if the woman in white was sleepwalking, she left very quickly and left almost no trace, so he couldn't catch up with her.
Except for the comb, the jade comb had been taken away by the woman.
Qingqing couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of the figure that followed Chu Yu away. She had been haunted by ghosts for so many days without crying, but now when she thought that she might have implicated others, she couldn't help but redden her eyes.
"What should I do? Mom..." After all, she was only a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. When she felt most helpless, she subconsciously looked at her mother.
Madam Yang pondered for a while. She couldn't be said to be the bravest among everyone present, but she was the most intelligent. Yang Qingqing's usual personality was just like hers.
When the girl broke into the door, she had a hunch that she was not a bad person.
At that time, the daughter was frightened as if she was possessed by evil spirits. She was anxious and afraid. Her father was even more worried. He could do nothing but come up and hold down his restless daughter. Xiaolin was even more stupid. If he had not impulsively snatched the comb, Qingqing would not have been so frightened.
The scene was one in which everyone was frightened, panicked and in chaos.
The girl rushed in with such a loud noise, which seemed scary, but actually calmed everyone down. It was not until she took the comb that Mrs. Yang became more certain of her guess.
"I'm afraid I've met an important person." Mrs. Yang said to herself.
"Madam, what did you say?" Boss Yang closed the door carefully and pulled Xiao Lin in. Seeing his wife talking to herself, he asked casually.
Without caring about his wife's reply, Boss Yang pulled Xiao Lin in and said kindly:
"Nephew Lin, you should stay here tonight and go back after dawn. No place is safe now."
Boss Yang asked Xiao Lin to sit down, but was suddenly scolded by Mrs. Yang.
"My dear nephew, if your good nephew hadn't acted impulsively, would your daughter have been scared like this?" Madam Yang was very angry. Originally, they had a very good relationship with the Lin family, and the children grew up together as innocent children. She originally liked Xiao Lin very much, but this comb was given to Qingqing by Xiao Lin, so it was understandable that she was dissatisfied.
When Xiao Lin heard this, guilt grew even more intense in his eyes. Boss Yang was also at a loss for a moment. The two men just stood there, not daring to sit down at all, standing there and getting scolded like children who had made mistakes.
"Forget it, can't you see that our problem has been solved?" Mrs. Yang thought that Xiaolin was also a child she had watched grow up, and just now she wanted to take the initiative to bear the curse of the comb. Although she got into trouble, she was also kind-hearted. In the end, she didn't say anything else harsh, but talked about Chu Yu: "Xiaolin, is the girl you brought back really an ordinary person?"
When Xiaolin heard this, he nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, I was with Qingqing at the time. This sister followed us back, and I didn't see anything special about her."
At this point, Madam Yang nodded and said to Boss Yang, "In any case, she helped Qingqing. Sir, take the glutinous rice talisman paper we left and give it to the girl."
Qingqing was still trembling slightly, but she had recovered: "Mom, if the talisman paper is useful, why would it still..."
Before she could finish her words, there was a sudden and harsh sound of gong knocking outside the door.
"Qiang~~~"
The sound was so high-pitched and penetrating that it made people tremble and scared everyone into shutting their mouths.
Through the window, you can see white paper money falling from the sky.
A pale funeral procession carrying a coffin stopped in front of the gate of Yang's Inn.
