C39 (2/2)
Guan Rou's face showed some panic as she hurriedly said, ”Then what do we do? Aren't you the master of capturing ghosts? There must be a way, right?”
I said, laughing and crying, ”I'm not some ghost master, I'm just a country boy making coffins.”
I took out my axe and held it in front of me. This road was indeed a little strange, there wasn't even a single car on the street. The sky was dark red, and from time to time, a chilly wind blew.
Guan Rou and I jumped into the car and tried to drive forward for a while, but we couldn't get out. As if I'd run into a ghost wall, I pulled over to the side of the road, reached for the copper bell, and got out of the car.
I gently shook the bronze bell, which made a crisp sound. Suddenly, a ball of white fog rose up from the street. Dozens of wandering souls appeared in front of me, walking on the street.
”What the f * ck!” I jumped into the car and pulled the axe out from under the seat. I told Guan Rou not to get out.
Guan Rou's face turned pale with fright as she stared outside the window. The group of wandering souls on the street walked past the car, giggling.
”Hey!” How do you know this is the Yin-Yang Path? ” I turned to ask the woman. There must be an explanation for whatever it is.
”There are many car accidents on this road, so very few cars come from here. This place is closer to Five Graveyard, so …” The woman stopped talking at this point, and looked out of the window with fear in her eyes.
”You … ”Behind you …” I looked back. A ghost was staring at the inside of the car through the window. It had a hideous face.
Guan Rou was so scared that she hastily took out her police gun. Her trembling hands could not even hold the gun steadily anymore. I started the car and suddenly saw a few kids lying on the windshield.
”What should we do?” Guan Rou was so frightened that she laid on her seat. The two girls were so scared that they didn't dare to make a sound. A strange laughter came from beside my ear.
”Cluck, cluck …” ”Cluck, cluck.”
”Look at them, they look pretty good.” The laughter of the little ghosts was like a demon's voice in my ears.
Guan Rou hastily covered her ears with her hands and closed her eyes. She did not dare to make a sound. I saw that this was not an option either. If this continued, she would be distracted by the laughter. I pushed open the door and jumped out of the car with the axe in my hand.
”Where did this brat come from? You dare to block your Grandpa Liu!” I swung the axe at a kid lying on the windshield and swung it.
The moment the kid touched the axe in my hand, he was immediately scared out of his wits. Those kids were afraid of my axe, so they opened up a path.
”Stinking brat …” ”Why are you holding an axe and slashing around!” The voice was a bit familiar. I turned around and saw that it was the old man.
The old man walked out of the group of ghosts with his hands behind his back. I looked at him in confusion.
”Stinking brat …” The old man walked over and coldly said to me, ”You brat, why aren't you giving me the axe?!”
I held out the axe and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why was the old man with these little ghosts? With a twist of my hand, I hacked down on the old man's body. The old man's body was instantly split in half.
”Cluck, cluck …” ”Hehe,” I fiercely swung my axe a few times and chopped down a few brats. But even so, I couldn't do anything about it. Even if I were to be killed by the little brat, I would die of exhaustion.
I stretched out my hand to pull open the car door and returned to the car. I slowly started up the car and stepped on the throttle. In an instant, I was dozens of meters away.
The ghosts turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared. I was secretly relieved.
”Did you escape?” Guan Rou asked me worriedly.
I softly replied, ”I don't know either. Anyway, those little ghosts have already disappeared. I don't think that it'll be that easy for them to escape.”
The woman quickly said, ”Look ahead, there's a villa.”
Villa? How could there be a villa here? There was no store in the village. I stopped the car in front of the villa in doubt. The three of us got out of the car. Guan Rou walked toward the mansion with her pistol in hand. She knocked on the door.
”Dong Dong …” ”Dong Dong!”
”Is anyone there?” Guan Rou knocked on the door forcefully, causing the door of the villa to creak open. The door was ajar, and there was a glimmer of light in the room.
”Who is it?” A man in his fifties opened the door with a candle in his hand and stepped out. Guan Rou hastily said, ”Hello, Uncle. We got lost nearby. Can you let us make a phone call?”
The Old Un looked at us, then said hoarsely: ”Well, come in!”
The old man turned around and walked into the villa. The three of us followed him into the villa. The villa was extravagantly decorated, but there was only the old man.
