C8 Visit

"Master, there's something wrong with my soul tonight."

The old woman took the sofa for herself, so I had to pull up a stool and sit down.

"Oh, something's not right."

The old, wizened hand deftly tied the money into a bundle, tied it with a rubber band, and the old woman did not look up. He looked like an unkind landlady from ancient times.

Thinking back to the place where my life soul had floated out from, I decisively said, "The entire alley isn't right!"

The woman had found the child's soul, but she didn't ask. Why would a child lose their soul for no reason? They were still scared off. The scariest part was that the scaredy cat was right in front of their home!

Logically speaking, a person's home is the most secure place, not easily frightened. Moreover, with the blessing of the God of Doors and the ancestor's heroic spirit, even if they were at the door, nothing could happen to them easily. Losing one's soul in front of one's own house, how scary would that thing be!

At that time, the soul I saw was pale, transparent, and lacking in energy. If we didn't recall it in time, it would have dissipated in a few days. Without a soul, one wouldn't die, but one would become a fool.

It had only been three days since he left his body, and his soul would not dissipate at such a fast speed. This only proved that something had absorbed his energy.

"Let the child rest for a few days, we'll go ask after a while."

The old woman finished counting the money and snapped off the light in her black cloth shoes. In the darkness, she could still be heard yelling, "Go to sleep, don't waste my old woman's electricity."

After secretly spitting on himself, I groped around in the dark and found my way to my house.

It was dark. I took off my jacket, lay down on the bed, and blew the fan. I covered my eyes with my hands.

"Tao Zi, run! Run!"

In my drowsiness, I heard someone constantly shouting in my ear, a hysterical desperation so familiar to me that my bones ached, but I just couldn't remember who it was.

"Run, run!" Don't look back! "

I tried to look back to see who it was, but I couldn't. My legs sped up and I could hear the mournful scream and the rumble of objects collapsing behind me. I could almost imagine that person being smashed into meat paste. My heart suddenly tightened and I sat up straight.

The night was very quiet.

I sat on the bunk, my eyes wide with horror and cold sweat.

Under the moonlight outside the window, Yuan Zhou took out the two Yuan per piece plastic watch from his bed and looked at it with narrowed eyes. It didn't have much more than that. It was better for him to get up at three in the morning.

Feeling wet hair discomfort, I reached out to touch, touched the face of tears.

Again.

An inexplicable sense of irritation welled up in his heart.

Since I was nine years old, I've had this strange dream almost every day. I've tried to find out why, but I haven't found anything. A lot of things I forget when I wake up, except that someone told me to run.

In order to suppress my dream, I even drank some of the Goddess's Talisman Water. It was very useful, but I don't know why I did it today.

Was it related to that weird alley?

I came to visit her. Even I, as a junior high student, knew how to buy some fruits. A stingy old woman would only stand there and make sarcastic remarks. She even called me to pay for my own money.

Pity, we spent twenty dollars on bananas and apples, and then we came to the alley. This time, I took a serious look, especially at the thick tree.

The tree had a diameter of more than half a meter and was covered with thick, coarse bark. It was at least a hundred to two hundred years of age. What surprised me most was that it was a locust tree!

The locust tree was one of the five great ghost trees. The so-called Ghost Wood was a tree that could gather Yin Qi. Along with a deep well nearby that connected directly to the ground, the Yin Qi became even denser. No wonder when I came back that day, I still felt the cool under the tree, it was because the Yin Qi was too heavy!

A hundred years old sophora tree, I would not believe it even if I said there were no ghosts to beat to death here.

While I observed, the two old men at the bottom of the tree were still smiling and pointing at me, saying that I was that brat from that day, the one who learned from the Goddess.

Wordlessly, I looked at their smiling faces and then at the yin aura surrounding them. I shook my head and walked away.

What do we do if we don't leave? We can't just tell them that this tree is a ghost tree, and that the yin qi is too heavy, so how long is it to stay down there and die quickly? I was afraid the old men would get mad at me after I finished. Furthermore, everything is set by the heavens. There are many things that do not require our intervention.

The one who knocked on the door and opened it for us was a man we had never seen before. It was most likely Zhou Yunjing's husband who had returned.

When the man saw an old woman and a skinny youth standing at the entrance, he reacted and invited us in, "Thank you for saving my son."

Even though he said so, I didn't hear much of the sincerity in his words. After all, this era's envelope science, even if he didn't believe that it was us who cured it, I wouldn't be able to do anything.

But when the woman heard we were coming, she hurried us out and sat us down, and served us tea and water, and told him to thank us, with the little boy called Dong Dong.

I touched the child's head and thrust an apple at him.

"Thank you, brother!" the child said sweetly, rolling his big black eyes. Hugging an apple, he happily ran to his father's side, clearly recognizing him as his new son.

It's normal that Dong Dong doesn't know me. His soul had seen me, but his main body had not seen me. After the soul left the body, there was no memory, so the lost soul could not find a way back and could only be guided by others. Even if he was guided into his body, he would not remember anything that happened to his soul.

"I'll buy what you want!"

Zhou Yunjing pretended to be angry, and eagerly pulled me along to chat with the Goddess, saying that if it weren't for the fact that we still didn't know what to do, we would still be kept for lunch after a bunch.

After personally experiencing a woman's ability to speak, the bullets shot at me until I couldn't retaliate at all. I didn't even know how to interrupt her. Fortunately, there was a mean old lady like Goddess, so she was able to quickly find the right words to say.

"The alley has always been this way, never changed. "You see that tree at the mouth of the alleyway and that well? I heard my mother-in-law say that those things were still there when she was young. It seems to be something from the Qing Dynasty. It is said that there were even people hanged from that tree!"

The woman was mysterious and could not close the box once she opened it. The man had taken his son out to play.

At this point, I couldn't help but interject, "You know that it's a locust tree?"

Zhou Yunjing looked at me strangely. "Of course I know."

"Then why don't you all sit down and enjoy the cool air!" I blurted out.

She seemed to have noticed something amiss as she said cautiously, "Can't we cool it down below? That tree is very cool, our people are always over there if they don't have anything to do, and there's nothing wrong with it? "
