Li Ping'an, female, 23 years old, specializes in errand-running services. Punctual, thoughtful, and meticulous, she has received countless positive reviews.
One day, Li Ping'an leaned...
Haunted by a ghost
Seeing that she was somewhat sober, Li Pingan took advantage of the distance and said, "I just saw a female ghost in the corner of the yard. This house is not clean."
"Huh?" Annie was completely awakened from her sleep. "Why didn't I see it?"
Li Ping'an did not answer, but looked straight ahead and tried to escape from this place as quickly as possible.
The whistling sound of the wind in their ears never stopped. Logically, the two should have walked out of this path long ago, but the end of the path in front of them was always in front of them, and the moon above their heads became hazy at some point.
Li Ping'an slammed on the brakes and Annie bumped into her back uncontrollably. Annie rubbed her nose and was about to ask something when she saw Li Ping'an turned his head with a serious expression.
Anne straightened up and looked forward, her face instantly becoming ugly. Not far away, a house with green tiles and red walls stood on the roadside. Two lanterns hanging under the eaves lit up, and the faint light seemed to be guiding the two people in.
Li Ping'an did not give up. He started the motorcycle and continued driving along this road. After an unknown amount of time, he returned to the front of the house. At this time, under the red lanterns under the eaves stood two pale-faced paper girls dressed as maids, grinning at Li Ping'an and the other man. Annie took a look and was so scared that she clutched Li Ping'an's clothes and buried her whole body in her back.
Li Ping'an looked at the lanterns under the eaves and became nervous. This place was so weird and scary that she didn't dare to ride anymore. Who knew what weird things would appear under the eaves if she continued riding.
Hearing the sound of Li Ping'an turning off the engine, Annie raised her head and whispered in Li Ping'an's ear, "Ping'an, are you not leaving?"
Li Ping'an nodded, his eyes fixed on the two paper figures under the eaves. The two paper figures seemed to have noticed that Li Ping'an was not running away, and their mouths grinned even wider. One of them opened the door and bent down, obviously welcoming the two men in.
"Are they asking us to come in?" Annie was frightened by the actions of the two paper figures, fearing that they would come and catch her.
"I won't go in. I'll just stay here and see if they dare to come." Li Ping'an said it firmly, but in fact he was extremely panicked in his heart. He could only clench his fists to prevent his hands from shaking.
Annie was originally scared, but seeing Li Ping'an's expression, she felt at ease again. "Yes, let's stay here and wait for daybreak. I don't believe they can come and carry us in."
The two paper figures at the door have been bending over since the door was opened. Even though Li Pingan and the others had no intention of going in, they were not in a hurry. In the extremely quiet environment, neither of them knew how much time had passed.
Neither the female ghost in the house nor the two paper figures outside the house made any further move. Li Ping'an was almost falling asleep from staring at them. When he turned around, he saw that Annie had fallen asleep leaning against his back.
Just when Li Ping'an thought that the two sides would confront each other until dawn, he suddenly heard noisy and urgent footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw that the end of the path had been crowded with zombies, and they were now pouring towards this side.
Li Ping'an quickly woke Annie up. Annie was sleeping very soundly. When she woke up, she hadn't realized what was happening yet. She saw a group of zombies surrounding her and was immediately frightened.
Li Pingan looked at the zombies attacking from the front and back, gritted his teeth, and realized that it was the female ghost in the house who was forcing them to go in. Whether to go in or not,
When the zombies approached, Li Ping'an still dragged Annie in and ran in. She smelled the stench of the zombies.
When they entered the house, the paper man at the door did not react at all. The door was closed as soon as the two of them stood firm in the yard.
Compared with the first time I came in, the structure of the courtyard has also changed. In addition to the original peach tree, there is also a small pond. Next to the pond is a four-cornered pavilion. The female ghost is sitting in the pavilion, with tea sets and cakes in front of her.
Li Ping'an protected Annie behind him and stood at the door looking at the female ghost in the pavilion. The female ghost no longer had her hair disheveled. She tied her hair up with an emerald green hairpin. If her face was not too pale, she could be called a lotus emerging from the water. She looked at the two of them with slightly frowned eyebrows, as if she was a little puzzled.
"Where are my things?" Li Ping'an was on guard against the female ghost's attack. When he heard her question, he didn't react for a moment. The female ghost's voice was quite neutral.
"Things? What things?" Li Pingan thought that he didn't take anything from her, so he looked down at Annie and said, "Did you take anything from her?"
Annie leaned out from behind Li Ping'an and stared at the ghost girl's face. When she heard Li Ping'an ask her, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, I didn't take anything from her."
After saying that, the two men looked at the female ghost with innocent faces, saying that they really didn't take her things, and asked her to show mercy and let them go.
After hearing this, the female ghost's expression did not change. She just said, "Since you can't remember, think about it here carefully." Then she turned around and disappeared.
Li Ping'an and Annie were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Although the female ghost didn't look very fierce, it was clear that she would not let them go unless they handed over their belongings. But they really didn't take anything from the female ghost.
However, after the female ghost left, the two of them relaxed a little. They faced each other, frowning and thinking about what had happened in the past two days. Just as Li Ping'an was carefully thinking about what had happened in the past two days, Annie opposite him suddenly said "Huh". Li Ping'an looked up at her, thinking she had thought of something.
Annie looked around and made sure the female ghost was not nearby. She stood on tiptoe and whispered to Li Ping'an, "I think this female ghost is a man."
Although the current situation is somewhat urgent, there is no need to rush for the time being. Li Pingan tried hard to suppress the gossip on his face and pretended to be normal. "Tell me about it."
"I just thought I saw her Adam's apple." Annie said mysteriously.
Li Ping'an now looked at Annie with admiration. The ghost girl's collar was so high that she could even see her Adam's apple.
Seeing the confusion and admiration on Li Ping'an's face, Annie smiled proudly, "I was just staring at her. When she was talking, her Adam's apple was exposed outside her collar for a moment, and I saw it, hehehe."
Sure enough, when people are gossiping, they tend to forget how dangerous the environment they are in is. Li Pingan and Annie smiled at each other, and their thoughts instantly went astray. They began to whisper to each other furtively, speculating why a male ghost would dress up as a female ghost.
The two were chatting so enthusiastically that they forgot that ghosts are good at appearing and disappearing. When Li Ping'an saw the male ghost standing behind Annie and wanted to remind her, it was too late.
Annie was still beaming with joy. "I think he might have some quirk, the kind that..."
Annie's words gradually died down in Li Ping'an's twitching eyes, and she only then realized that she felt a cold wind behind her.
"That kind" The male ghost's tone seemed harmless, but full of doubt.
Anne opened and closed her mouth, brainstorming, trying to find a reasonable explanation for what she had said.
The male ghost thought she spoke softly, so he took two steps closer, lowered his head, and motioned for her to say it again. Only then did the two of them realize how tall this ghost was. Li Ping'an felt that she was not short, but she still had to look up slightly to see him.
"Well, we are just discussing what you need." Li Pingan tried to change the subject.
The two thought the male ghost would be angry, but he was just confused for a moment and said, "I don't know."
Li Ping'an felt that his mind was full of question marks. He didn't even know what the thing was, yet he could still ask them for it so arrogantly.
"Then how do you know we took the things?" He said it so naturally that they didn't even have a chance to refute.
"Someone told me," the two men now felt that the male ghost seemed a little abnormal, "He told me to wait here and someone would come to find me."
"I've been waiting for a long, long time,"
"The peach tree in the yard is blooming and bearing fruit. It is growing slowly and is taller than me." The male ghost floated under the peach tree and stroked it with his hand, as if he was reminiscing.
"Then it died, and after it died, a peach tree grew out of it." The male ghost squatted down, gestured with his hands to a height that was about the height of his calf, and then slowly raised it. "It grew and grew, and it grew taller than me."
"And then die."
After saying this, the male ghost turned and looked at the two of them. "The peach tree died and grew again, grew again and died again. I waited for a long, long time, but no one came to find me."
After hearing this, Li Pingan and the other man looked at each other, speechless. They didn't know how to face the male ghost. Pity him? It would be better to pity themselves who were trapped. Be afraid? He wasn't that scary after all.
"We don't have what you want." Li Ping'an decided to say it.
Hearing this, the male ghost stared at the two of them, then shook his head and said stubbornly, "Since you can come in, you must have what I want."
After saying that, he disappeared without caring about the two of them.
Li Ping'an blurted out, "What exactly do you want?" but the words disappeared into the air and no one responded.
"Ping'an, is there something wrong with his brain?" Annie tried to hold back, but still couldn't help it. She asked questions, but she didn't know anything and just stretched out her hand to demand it.
From what the male ghost said just now, Li Ping'an felt that he had been dead for many years. Even if he knew what it was at the beginning, he would have forgotten it now.
There was no choice but for the two to sit on the ground and sleep leaning against each other. There was no danger for the time being, so they could sleep as long as they could.
The two were awakened by the cold. After waking up, they rubbed their arms. When they were about to sigh why the weather suddenly became so cold, they turned around and saw the male ghost beside them. The male ghost was squatting next to them, very close to them. No wonder it was so cold.
Seeing the two people looking at him, the male ghost suddenly asked, "What were you two doing just now?"
"Go to sleep." Annie replied without thinking.
"What is sleep?"
This male ghost has been dead for so long that he has even forgotten what sleep is.
