Ghost daughter-in-law

However, I am not at all sure whether all this is an illusion, because everything else is too real except for some weird behaviors of the people here.

"Uncle, can you tell us about this Lantern Festival? We are new here, so lucky to meet your festival, and want to go see it too." I said politely, at this time I had already made up my mind, Regardless of whether all this is true or not, I have to go and see what is going on here, and now Bai Ling's disappearance makes me very anxious.

"This Lantern Festival! It is a very important festival in our village. It is held only once a year. You are really lucky." The skinny uncle said to us excitedly.

"Yes, yes, during the period! People in the village will also show the lamps they made, and then ask other people to write blessings on them, praying that everything will be safe and smooth in the coming year, and the girls in our village are very handsome, you really You should go and have a look!" The fat uncle introduced excitedly.

"Okay, okay! Time is running out, if you want to go, follow us, we don't have time to wait for you! Old Jin, let's go!" The thin uncle said to the fat uncle, and after finishing speaking, they followed us He walked past him and ignored us.

I looked at their backs that hadn't gone far away, turned my head to look at Yun'er, and followed.

"This place is very strange, we have to be careful!" Yun'er followed me and reminded me.

"Hmm! I know, by the way, let me ask you something." I hesitated, and said, "Have you noticed that Bai Ling is not quite right recently?"

"So you found out too, but I've been hesitating how to tell you, because I'm afraid you'll say I'm jealous." Yun'er said.

"Her changes are too obvious, as if she suddenly changed into another person, but I can't see what happened to her, especially now that she suddenly disappeared again, I am very worried about her." I lowered my head looking at the ground.

"Maybe she found something, I'm afraid you may follow yourself to investigate."

"Hey! She's always like this, she doesn't say a word, can it make people worry?" I sighed.

"It's useless to think so much now, let's figure out the current situation first! Bai Ling can take care of himself." Yun'er comforted me.

I feel that what she said is reasonable, and there is nothing to do now, but the sentence she said "Bai Ling can take care of himself" made me dumbfounded. Now that Bai Ling has no inner alchemy and cannot use mana, how can she Can take care of myself.

What I am most afraid of is that this seemingly incomparably real world in front of me is a trap set by the men in black who want to catch me, then we will have no escape.

Soon, Yun'er and I walked to the place where the two uncles said that the lantern festival was held. It was in the center of the village. At this time, there was a lot of people here, and there were countless lanterns hanging on countless shelves. The lanterns were colorful. , The emitted light reflected on the faces of those people.

Everyone’s faces were filled with happy smiles, and almost everyone held a lantern. I slowly walked into the crowd, and almost all the passers-by would nod and say hello to me. Lantern, the shock in my heart rose to another level.

The crowd was too dense, so I quickly grabbed Yun'er's hand, for fear that she would get lost.Yun'er, on the other hand, looked at those lanterns enviously, wishing she could go up and grab another one and play with it in her hand.

Grandpa said before that girls like these gadgets, it seems that the bad old man didn't lie to me.It’s just that we are newcomers, so how dare we go up and grab other people’s things, so we can only look at it and enjoy it.

But to be honest, the craftsmanship of these lanterns is really impeccable, so good to see that I have to admire them.

"Brother!" Someone suddenly pulled the corner of my clothes, and then I looked down, and saw Xiaohui holding a red lantern in her hand, looking up at me with a smile.

"Brother! You're here too? I thought you didn't like our Lantern Festival!" Her waxy voice sounded very comfortable. I squatted down and looked at her at the same level. I couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little cheek. Said: "How could it be! This lantern festival is so beautiful, I don't even want to leave after seeing it."

"Really? Then brother don't leave, stay and play with Xiaohui." Xiaohui jumped up excitedly.

"I think so too! But I still have important things to do, so I can't stay here for too long!" I just took Xiaohui's words as a joke.

"Brother, why don't you stay here! If you stay here, you will know how much fun we have here! Xiaohui secretly tells you, in fact, we can watch the lantern festival every day."

"What?" I was startled when I heard that. Just now the two uncles said that their Lantern Festival is held once a year. How can they watch the Lantern Festival every day? I was about to ask Xiaohui, but Xiaohui's parents suddenly stopped. Arrived behind Xiaohui.

"Xiaohui, what did you tell your brother?" Xiaohui's mother asked.

"I want my brother to stay! I want to play with my brother!" Xiaohui walked to her mother, took her mother's hand, and pointed at me at the same time, like a child seeing Xinyi Toys, ask her parents to buy her the same.

"Xiaohui, don't mess around!" Xiaohui's father scolded, then turned his head and smiled and said to me: "Children are ignorant, don't take it for granted!"

At that time, I thought in my heart, Xiaohui just wanted me to stay and play with her. It should be normal for a little girl like her to have such thoughts, right?Where is ignorance.

But before I could speak, Xiaohui's parents dragged her away.Xiaohui turned her head and looked at me reluctantly, with a smile on her face. At first I was smiling at her too, but the next moment her smile twisted weirdly.

My heart skipped a beat, but when I wanted to see clearly, Xiaohui and his family of three were already overwhelmed by the crowd.

The surroundings seem to be normal, but there is something weird in the normal. Yun'er and I stand in the crowd, but we are like two different species, out of tune with the surroundings.

The moment I was about to take a step forward, there was a sudden sound of a flute, and then the surrounding noise stopped for an instant, and everyone stopped and looked at me and Yun'er in unison .

The happy smiles on their faces disappeared and were replaced by ice-cold ones, which shocked me instantly.

There was something wrong with the atmosphere, I subconsciously protected Yun'er behind me.

Chapter 1 Seventeen: A Flash in the Pan

The air was so quiet that even the wind stopped, and I was stared at by countless cold eyes, making my heart tremble. Just as I was struggling to find a solution, a deafening gong exploded in my ears, and the huge sound wave instantly made my heart tremble. There was a strong tinnitus in my cochlea, and even, a tingling in my brain.

All the sounds disappeared at the moment when the gong sounded, leaving only the painful tinnitus. I instinctively covered my ears, closed my eyes and bowed my waist, trying to stop the sound in my ears. Agitated tinnitus.

I screamed, but I couldn't even hear my own voice.After a long time, the tinnitus faded away, and the noise outside began to impact my hearing like a stormy sea, and the hustle and bustle of people's voice became clearer and clearer in my ears.

The moment I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Yun'er's anxious eyes, and then the crowd returned to their original state. In just a moment, they changed their faces twice.

I saw them talking and laughing again, talking about their respective lanterns, blessing each other, and I could faintly hear them saying goodbye, as if I just saw their coldness was an illusion. At this moment, Yuner and I It became an inconspicuous existence again.

To my astonishment, the first ray of dawn in the morning began to rise, and it cast a ray of light on the nearby mountain, and then moved down continuously, and the darkness that occupied the world for a night began to lose its armor.

At this moment, all the people around me raised their hands and started cheering, as if the lantern festival had reached its climax. I don't know why, but their weird behavior had to make me vigilant. I could only hug Yun'er In the arms, wait and see what happens.

I suddenly felt someone tug at the corner of my clothes, and when I lowered my head, it was Xiaohui, as I expected, with a lantern in her hand, looking up at me.

"Brother, is our lantern festival fun? Today's time is up, see you tomorrow!" Xiaohui said, and at the same time put the lantern in her hand into mine, and then slowly retreated to her parents, returning it to me wave goodbye.

Her parents were also smiling at Yun'er and me. Looking at the harmonious family of three in front of me, I felt a bad premonition in my heart, but before I could speak, the morning sun had risen to the top of the mountain and began to shine on the little girl. On the heads of Hui's family, immediately under my gaze, they were like pieces of paper lit by fire, slowly turning into ashes and dispersing in the air.

"Wait..." I yelled and stretched out my hand, but before I could say anything, their upper bodies had already disappeared.I withdrew my hand in horror, only to find that the people and things around me burned like Xiaohui's family, and then turned into dust.

The uproar of people just now stopped suddenly, everything was like a flash in the pan, more like a illusory world. Don’t take off the gorgeous veil, revealing the original ugly skeleton. Xiaohui’s family just disappeared without leaving a trace. Even the lantern Xiaohui gave me is the same.

I glanced blankly at the palm of my hand, and then at the surroundings. I was holding a lantern in my palm just now, and there was a sea of ​​people standing here just now. It was obvious that the lanterns they made were so beautiful, but in a blink of an eye In a short time, the whole village returned to its original appearance, dilapidated, barren, overgrown with weeds, and no one was popular.

I couldn't believe what was happening before my eyes, it was so real, yet so illusory.Yun'er and I stood among the waist-high weeds, looking at each other, but didn't know what to do.

Yun'er seemed to be shocked by what happened before her eyes, staring blankly at the weeds in front of her.

"Look, Lin Mo!" Yun'er struggled in my hand, then stretched out her hand and pointed in one direction, said anxiously.

Hearing this, I reacted instantly and looked in the direction she pointed, and saw an old man in a gray robe leading a boy standing in front of the dark doorway on the second floor of a wooden building, with cold eyes He looked at me and Yun'er coldly.

The boy's height did not reach the old man's waist, and the body below the head was covered by the wooden railing. From a distance, only his head could be seen. It felt as if the old man was holding a head.

Jiuqiao Village is inherently yin, and with what happened just now, the sudden appearance of the old man and the boy is even more strange.

They just looked at me and Yun'er for a while, then turned around and walked into the dark gate, and disappeared.

"They're gone!" Yuner shouted.

"Let's go! Let's go and have a look!" I took Yun'er's hand and started trudging through the weeds towards the wooden building.No matter who these two people are, since they haven't disappeared, it means that they are different from those who disappeared, and they must know something.

Bai Ling disappeared for quite a while, I have to hurry up and find out what's going on here, I can't help worrying about Bai Ling's safety.
