Dawan Village 5

It was almost dark when Qin Yan woke up. He sat up from the bed and saw Gu Qingqu sleeping on the table. The moonlight was pouring in and he could barely see. A firefly landed on his shoulder, flickering.

A cool breeze blew in, and Qin Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide. He saw a female ghost appeared under the crabapple tree in the yard. She had long hair, a dyed red skirt, and black air was coming out of her body. Blood dripped down her skirt to the ground, dyeing the crabapple flowers on the ground red. She lowered her head, but her gloomy eyes looked straight at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan thought, it’s over, if Gu Qingqu saw this, he would be scared to death on the spot.

Oh, no, that’s not right. Gu Qingqu is a mortal and he can’t see ghosts.

Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was rejoicing, he saw that the female ghost had disappeared. At the same time, Gu Qingqu woke up. He raised his head and was about to speak when the female ghost suddenly appeared by the window. Gu Qingqu suddenly screamed, "Ah!"

Oops, he could see it.

Qin Yan quickly jumped off the bed and ran to Gu Qingqu in two steps. He put his hand on Gu Qingqu's shoulder. Gu Qingqu screamed and jumped up. Qin Yan quickly said, "Don't be afraid."

Gu Qingqu hugged him tightly when he heard his voice, his whole body shaking. He buried his face in Qin Yan's chest and asked in a trembling voice: "What...what is this?"

The female ghost suddenly disappeared. Qin Yan looked around but didn't see her appear. He patted Gu Qingqu's shoulder and said, "It's okay. She's gone."

Gu Qingqu carefully and slowly raised his head to look at Qin Yan. His eyes were wet and sparkling. He looked ignorant and easy to bully. Qin Yan was amused by his thoughts. He never expected that one day he would think Gu Qingqu was easy to bully.

Gu Qingqu was relieved when he saw him smile, "Who was that just now?"

Qin Yan replied: "It doesn't look like a human."

Gu Qingqu asked: "What is that?"

Qin Yan replied: "It should be a vengeful spirit"

Gu Qingqu immediately remembered what Qin Yan had said during the day, "Is it related to the crabapple tree?"

Before Qin Yan could answer, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Dahan and Zhang Dani's voices came, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Yan rolled his eyes and patted Gu Qingqu on the shoulder, "I'll go tell them."

Gu Qingqu didn't dare to leave Qin Yan for a moment. He shook his head frantically, "No, no, no, I'll go with you."

"Okay."

Qin Yan opened the door with Gu Qingqu, and said without hiding anything: "What a ghost!"

Xiao Dahan and Zhang Dani were both shocked and thought he was lying. "Are you kidding me? How could our house be haunted? Are you trying to pick a fight on purpose?"

Qin Yan snorted coldly, "Why can I find fault with you? I still want to ask you, what's going on in your family? Why are there ghosts coming out to scare people at night?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our family has been fine for decades, and you come and say there's a ghost. I think you just want to blackmail us."

Zhang Dani's voice was so rough and sharp that it hurt people's eardrums. Gu Qingqu continued, "We saw it with our own eyes. A woman with long hair and a white skirt was covered in blood and had black gas coming out of her body."

"It's under the crabapple tree," Qin Yan said loudly. As expected, Xiao Dahan and Zhang Dani's faces changed as soon as he said this. Qin Yan then said, "There is something wrong with your house. We won't live here anymore." Then he said to Gu Qingqu, "Pack up your things. We're leaving right away."

Gu Qingqu was also very understanding, "Okay, I'll clean it up right away"

Only then did Xiao Dahan notice that many of the furnishings in the house had been replaced, and they obviously looked very valuable. He remembered that Qin Yan and his companions did not bring any luggage when they came. His heart was beating fast. Could he really be a master of illusion?

Xiao Dahan quickly turned to Zhang Dani, who also noticed something strange in the room at this time, and quickly said with a smile: "You two, it's dark now, and the mountain road is not easy to walk on, so let's not go."

“That’s right.”

"As for the female ghost you mentioned, we have indeed never seen one. You also know that this area is all forest and mountains. Maybe a girl died recently and is wandering around. You are fine, so she is definitely not coming for our family."

“That’s right.”

"Since there's a female ghost wandering outside, aren't you rushing out to meet her now?"

“That’s right.”

Qin Yan had no intention of leaving, he just wanted to scare them. Now that the time was almost right, Qin Yan went down the slope. He sighed in a pretentious manner and said, "Then we'll just stay here for one night."

Gu Qingqu widened his eyes in shock when he heard his words, but didn't say much. Xiao Dahan and Zhang Dani smiled happily when they heard his words, "Yes, yes, you can stay here for now. I'll make whatever you want to eat tonight."

Qin Yan said: "No need, we brought food with us."

Zhang Dani's face darkened when she heard this, but she still smiled and said, "Okay, you two can take a rest. We won't disturb you."

"Yeah," Qin Yan responded and closed the door neatly. The moment he closed the door, Gu Qingqu couldn't help but ask, "Why don't we leave?"

Qin Yan replied: "I think what they said makes sense."

"Then leave early tomorrow morning."

Qin Yan did not answer immediately, but just nodded. Gu Qingqu remembered what Zhang Dani had said just now, and tightly grasped Qin Yan's body and asked, "Will people become ghosts like this when they die?"

Qin Yan took out an oil lamp from the Chaos Stone Ring and lit it. The weak flame instantly dispelled the darkness, but it still looked a little creepy. Qin Yan lit the lamps one by one until the whole room was bright. Gu Qingqu's face looked obviously much better.

Qin Yan sat down, poured two cups of tea, and looked at Gu Qingqu who was still holding him tightly, "Relax, don't be so nervous"

Gu Qingqu dragged a chair and sat down next to him, explaining: "I'm not nervous, I'm scared. Just now, the ghost was almost close to my face, and I was almost scared to death."

Of course not, Qin Yan thought to himself, even if your body is gone, your soul is still here.

Gu Qingqu was still chattering, "It turns out there are ghosts in this world. This is so scary. This is only slightly better than a demon."

Qin Yan didn't understand his train of thought, "Do you think monsters are scarier than this?"

Gu Qingqu explained: "Demons can kill people, ghosts can only scare people. Although it is indeed scary, she can't do anything."

Qin Yan explained to him: "Ghosts that can stay in the human world are all powerful and can kill people."

Gu Qingqu looked at him in disbelief, "You mean that ghost just now can kill people?"

"That's not a ghost, it's a vengeful spirit," Qin Yan said again. Gu Qingqu was stunned just now, and only now remembered that he had said it just now, but, "What's the difference between a vengeful spirit and a ghost? Can't vengeful spirits hurt people?"

The true form of the vengeful spirit is not human. However, Qin Yan did not tell this to Gu Qingqu. After all, it was useless to tell him this.

"Who cares? They're not good people anyway."

"That's for sure." However, Gu Qingqu still asked, "So the vengeful spirits won't hurt people?"

Qin Yan did not answer, but asked: "Are you injured today?"

Gu Qingqu shook his head, and Qin Yan said: "That's it."

Gu Qingqu guessed: "Just to scare us."

"I don't know, I'm not a vengeful spirit." Qin Yan drank a glass of water and prepared to go to the toilet. He glanced at the person hanging on his body and said, "I need to go to the toilet."

Gu Qingqu quickly said, "I'll go too."

Qin Yan didn't want to go with Gu Qingqu. This was too much. "It's so dark outside. Don't go. I'll be back soon."

Gu Qingqu replied: "No, no, no, I want to go to the toilet too."

Since he said so, Qin Yan didn't know what to say. Gu Qingqu took an oil lamp, and the two of them walked out of the door tightly. As a result, when they opened the door, they saw Xiao Dahan and Zhang Dani standing under the eaves. Gu Qingqu was frightened at first sight. Qin Yan tilted his head to look at him and said, "It's okay."

Gu Qingqu asked: "What are you two doing here?"

Xiao Dahan replied awkwardly: "Just taking a walk" and then asked, "Where are you going?"

"restroom"

Xiao Dahan showed them the way and asked, "Do you want a guide?"

Qin Yan refused. Gu Qingqu leaned against Qin Yan and said in a very low voice: "They are so weird."

Qin Yan didn't say anything, and the two went to the bathroom. It was called a toilet, but it was actually just a small hole next to the pigpen. It was stinking and there was no barrier at all. Qin Yan frowned and looked at Gu Qingqu and said, "Turn your back."

Gu Qingqu refused without hesitation, "I don't want it"

Qin Yan was anxious, "How do we get on this?"

"Don't be so fierce, I can take off your pants for you"

Gu Qingqu's voice was weak, and even had a crying tone, which made Qin Yan speechless. Who was bullying whom? "Can we have some privacy?"

Gu Qingqu said: "During this period, I don't want privacy"

Qin Yan replied expressionlessly: "You don't want it, but I do."

Gu Qingqu said: "Then can I close my eyes?"

Qin Yan wanted to sigh, but it was too smelly here. In order to leave early, Qin Yan finally compromised, "Okay, shut up quickly, I'm almost dying of the stink."

"Don't die, what will I do if you die?"

Qin Yan was speechless and almost rolled his eyes, "Shut up"

Gu Qingqu stopped talking and closed his eyes under Qin Yan's scrutiny. Qin Yan had never experienced the feeling of holding his urine in his life, but now he had tried everything.

After Qin Yan finished, he felt something was wrong before he even pulled up his pants. His arm felt cold. He turned around and saw that the damn Gu Qingqu was bleeding from the nose. He even looked at Qin Yan with eyes as big as copper bells.

Qin Yan quickly pulled up his pants. He wanted to curse, but after turning around, he didn't even know how to curse. Qin Yan was so angry that his face turned red.

Gu Qingqu explained with a bitter face, "I'm scared even if I close my eyes."

Qin Yan no longer wanted to talk, silence was his silent resistance.

But Gu Qingqu still had something to say. He asked very sincerely and nervously, "I really want to go to the bathroom. Can you help me take off my pants?"

One of his hands was hanging and the other was holding the oil lamp, so he really couldn't move.

Qin Yan widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief. Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the oil lamp, which was already swaying, went out.
