chasing shadows

"Ah!!" Ah Bo yelled louder than Uncle Liu this time.

After being frightened a few times before, Uncle Liu was relatively "calm" compared to Ah Bo who was yelling and the puppet who was so frightened that he hid behind Xia Ying without saying a word. At least, he could stutter. Explain the situation to Xia Ying.

"Master, this man is hitting himself on the head with a stone, and his brains... all come out."

Xia Ying said in shock: "Uncle Liu, go and stop him!"

"Ah?" Uncle Liu gritted his teeth with a mournful face and came to the man in one step. He saw the man beating his head again and again. His face was covered with blood, and he was still smiling "hehehe". Uncle Liu's legs were trembling. But it's human life anyway, he stretched out his hand and directly pulled the stone from the man's hand.

The stone was easily taken away, and Uncle Liu quickly threw it away. Just as he was about to help the man up, the man ran up dancing, laughing loudly as he ran, "Fire! Hahaha! Burned! It's all burned! Hahaha..."

Xia Ying leaned on a bamboo stick and wanted to feel her way to pull him, but he couldn't see clearly. The puppet and Ah Bo were so frightened that they wished they could shrink themselves into a ball, but they couldn't count on it.

After Liu Shu chased for a few meters, he didn't dare to go any further, for he was afraid that he would be separated from Xia Ying and the others in the thick fog, and that it would be a disaster if he encountered some terrible white-clothed man.

Uncle Liu said to Xia Ying: "Master, I can't catch up with him, he runs too fast."

Xia Ying sighed, "Let's forget it then." He was really powerless, but it was a pity that he had a pair of clear eyes, but he could only act like a blind person.

Only then did Ah Bo pull Xia Ying's long sleeves, and said in a tearful tone, "Did he get divination by the man in white? What should I do, the fog never disappears, it's so scary...I don't dare to come out to catch anything again." The man in white."

Seeing that the man had disappeared without a trace, the puppet dared to speak, and said to Ah Bo, "Didn't you say that you are brave? You are also pretending to be a divination man in white to scare people."

Hearing the puppet mocking her, Ah Bo replied not to be outdone: "I don't know who was going to pee their pants in fright just now, bah bah, I'm really not ashamed, but I'm ashamed to say me, let me see, if there is a hole in the ground, you Just dive right in!"

The puppet blushed from what she said, and wanted to make a noise again, but Xia Ying grabbed him, touched his head, and motioned him to stop arguing.

The puppet snorted angrily, and ignored the girl's complacent eyes.

Xia Ying turned to Ah Bo to confirm again, and asked, "Is the man in white we met in the fog just now really you?"

As soon as Ah Bo mentioned this, she became angry, and she scolded angrily: "Of course it's me. I originally wanted to scare you, but who knows, you..." Ah Bo pointed at Xia Ying and said, "You actually used such He gave me a stick with great strength! Do you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?"

Xia Ying said softly, "That's it." Then he said to Ah Bo apologetically, "I'm sorry, I offended you."

Only then did Ah Bo grinned and said, "It's okay, my lord has a lot." Then he pulled Xia Ying's long sleeves and asked, "Little brother, should we continue walking to the inn now, or wait until the fog clears? "

Xia Ying asked Uncle Liu and the puppet, "What do you think?"

Uncle Liu scratched his head again and said bitterly, "It's dangerous to wait in this thick fog, and it's also dangerous on the way back to the inn. Hey, when will this fog clear?"

The puppet also looked around in fear: "Why don't you just find someone's house to hide first? When the fog clears, go back to the inn."

At this time, Ah Bo suddenly slapped his legs and shouted, "I am very familiar with this place."

She continued to laugh and say, "Even if there is a thick fog, I can still find my way. I know Brother Kuyao's home is not far from here. We can go to his place and wait for the fog to clear."

Uncle Liu hurriedly said: "That's great, that's great, take us there quickly!"

The puppet also responded: "Yes, yes, hurry up."

But Ah Bo pointed at the puppet and pursed his lips and smiled, "You call me sister, or I will sneak away by myself and leave you here for the evil ghost in white to catch!"

"Don't even think about it!" The puppet's eyes widened and its mouth puffed out.

Ah Bo clasped his arms around his chest, triumphantly said, "That's fine."

Uncle Liu said "Ouch" to Ah Bo, "I'm calling you auntie, don't waste any more time, auntie!"

"Hahaha," Ah Bo clapped his hands, "If you don't become an older sister, but an aunt, your seniority will be much older, that's fine."

Ah Bo waved at them, "Come with me!"

Xia Ying, who had been silent just now, said, "Follow her."

The puppet looked at Xia Ying, then at Ah Bo who was leading the way, trotted a few times, and followed Ah Bo.

"Dwarf wax gourd, you didn't call me sister, why did you follow me, I only promised to lead the way for the two of them."

"Stop putting gold on your face, you are not my sister, I am with the fireflies, if you take them you have to take me! Stupid girl."

"The short winter melon who was so scared that he was about to pee his pants just now!"

"My eardrums were about to explode just now, stupid girl."

“…”

Hearing the noise of the two people in front of him, Uncle Liu sighed, "It's really an enemy."

Xia Ying smiled: "Children have a good heart."

He held the bamboo stick tightly, and repeated to himself: "A child's heart..."

The three of them followed Ah Bo to a small thatched cottage, and Ah Bo knocked on the door and said loudly, "Brother Kuyao, is Brother Kuyao at home?"

"Yeah." The door opened, and the boy named Kuyao opened the door. When he saw Xia Ying and the others behind Ah Bo, his face was a little strange, and his tone was not very good, "Why did you bring them here?"

Ah Bo immediately said: "Brother Kuyao, it's very foggy outside, let us hide in the house first, and I will tell you everything later." Then Ah Bo added: "I promise, fog one Take them away as soon as they leave, it won't disturb you for too long, and it won't disturb uncle's rest."

Perhaps it was the first time they met each other and they didn't give each other a good impression. Kuyao tugged at the corners of his mouth and nodded, but the "impatient and disgusted" expression made the puppet want to rush up to bite him and kick him several times. The feet don't stop.

Uncle Liu winked at the puppet, and the puppet gave up.

When several people came to the cramped room, they only felt that it was very dark, and the air-conditioning from the shop wrapped everyone tightly, making them cold from feet to heads.

Uncle Liu looked around, and asked awkwardly, "Why don't you light candles?"

Dry Medicine said sarcastically: "If you feel dark, go out, I won't stay."

Uncle Liu, who has always been good-tempered, found it unbearable. He was about to say something when Ah Bo hurriedly pulled him over, leaned in front of Kuyao and said, "Brother Kuyao, just take it easy! Do you know that we met just now?" It's a scary thing." Then, she told Ku Yao all the things she just encountered in the fog.

Ah Bo's words eased the atmosphere a lot, Ku Yao frowned, seemed a little regretful, and said, "Why didn't I meet."

Xia Ying had been listening to them quietly, and turned her head slightly calmly. From the moment she entered the room, he could vaguely see something, but it seemed like she couldn't see anything.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem..." There was a coughing sound from the inner room, and Xia Ying thought it might be Ku Yao's father.

Sure enough, Ah Bo nervously said: "Uncle woke up, I'm sorry, Brother Kuyao."

The impatience and disgust on Ku Yao's face appeared again, more obvious than before. He said coldly to Xia Ying and the others: "You are here, I will go in and have a look."

But when he just turned around, his expression was extremely shocked, his eyes widened, and he saw a black figure standing in front of the door, bending over constantly coughing.

"You...you stood up!" Ku Yao's voice trembled a little, he stepped in front of the person one step at a time, supported the person, and cried with excitement: "You can stand up now...I still Thought..would have to wait for many years..."

Xia Ying held the bamboo stick tightly, and he faced the figure. Sure enough, there was something in this room that he could see, and that blurry black figure was standing in front of the door opposite him at this moment.

It's just that what makes Xia Ying strange is that compared to ordinary ghosts and ghosts, this figure appears in Xia Ying's eyes for a while, and is completely invisible for a while.

This was the first time Xia Ying encountered such a situation.

So is he human?Is it a ghost?

Or is it both human and ghost?

What exactly is going on?Xia Ying's whole mind was thrown into a mess by a series of questions.

"It's much brighter this way." Uncle Liu shouted.

Ah Bo found a candle and lit it on his own. The dark room became much brighter instantly, and everyone's shadows swayed on the wall.

The man who had been in the shadows finally let them all see his face clearly. His face was a little pale, and his appearance was ordinary. To put it bluntly, his entire face was gray and lifeless. He stared blankly at the front. He didn't move, and his whole person looked like a weak person who had been ill for a long time and couldn't understand human affairs.

Ah Bo came to Kuyao and Kuyao's father with a candle in his hand, and said with joy, "Uncle, it's great that you can stand up. We are all friends of Brother Kuyao. Do you remember me? I..."

Ku Yao suddenly grabbed the candle in Ah Bo's hand, blew it out immediately, and said, "Ah Bo, take them out first, my father is not happy to see outsiders." His chest heaved, as if he was suppressing his great anger .

This is driving people away.

Ah Bo was obviously frightened and kept silent.

After Ku Yao finished speaking, she said to the man in a gentle voice, "Let's go into the house."

The puppet said unhappily: "Firefly, old man Liu, let's not stay in this "broken" house and be angry with this guy."

Even the always good-tempered Uncle Liu pulled Xia Ying and said, "Young master, I would rather be scared to death by the evil spirit than look at the face of this weird kid."

Uncle Liu deliberately said this very loudly, and while speaking, he dragged Xia Ying outside.

Xia Ying was helpless, he nodded, "Go out." He turned to Ku Yao's back and said, "I'm bothering you."

Suddenly his body shook violently, and he actually heard the ringing of the bell that he heard in the alley that day.

"Ding ding, ding ding..."

Xia Ying turned her head and looked at the man who had been supported by the dry medicine to enter the room, only to see him looming, not sure if it was real or not.

The four of them came outside the house, and the fog had cleared a lot.It will dissipate completely soon.So they all became bolder.

The puppet pushed Xia Ying, who knelt down and asked, "What's wrong?"

The puppet leaned close to his ear and whispered, "When the candle was lit just now, I found that the father of the dead medicine was missing."

"What?" Xia Ying wanted to ask again.

But Ah Bo suddenly interposed between them, aggrieved: "What, brother Kuyao is too fierce."

The puppet snorted: "It deserves it." Then he walked forward.

Ah Bo followed behind, dissatisfied: "You short winter melon! You were kicked out too."

Xia Ying called Ah Bo to stop, thought for a while, and asked, "Ah Bo, what do you want to tell us?"

Ah Bo paused, "What?" It was just that she had a strange smile on her face, and said something inexplicable with a playful smile: "Little brother, it's already six."
