"What I mean, don't you know? I sent you a text message using Jun Yao's phone." Lan You said slowly.
Chu Xinrou's eyes darkened, and she became alert. "What do you want from me?"
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the concept of Huisha?" Lan You said lightly.
"What? What's the reply?" Chu Xinrou was full of confusion.
"Lan You, what on earth do you want to do by calling me here?" she suddenly raised her voice.
Seeing her like this, she had no idea about the feudal superstitions in the countryside, which made things easier.
"Don't be anxious. Of course I have something to ask you." Lan You softened his tone, and Chu Xinrou's face did not look so ugly.
Humph, it seems that Lan You can't stand the rumors in school.
She finally realized how she felt back then, and she totally deserved it.
Chu Xinrou felt much relieved.
He said arrogantly, "Tell me about it."
"The seventh day is the day of returning to the dead. It is said that the dead will return to the place they miss most in the world of the living on this day." Lan You lied without blinking.
Chu Xinrou's eyes flickered. The wind was whistling outside the window, and she felt a little eerie.
She crossed her arms over her chest, looking confused. "Lan You, I have no idea what you're talking about. If nothing else, I'll leave first."
Lan You immediately stood in front of her, blocking her way.
He looked straight at her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished what I'm saying. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you feeling guilty?"
"Who feels guilty? I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I feel guilty?" Chu Xinrou said righteously.
"Okay, then I'll continue. These past few days I've often dreamed that Epiphyllum appeared in my dreams and asked me to bring you here on the day she returns. She said that what she admired most in her life was your Swan Lake. She didn't have the chance to ask you for advice during her lifetime, and she still wants to hear your guidance after she dies." Lan You spoke slowly.
But Chu Xinrou was so scared that she got goosebumps all over her body and her emotions gradually became uneasy.
"You mean the Epiphyllum will come here tonight? That's nonsense. These are all feudal superstitions and cannot be believed."
Lan You said disapprovingly, "Really? I actually believe it. I seem to have heard that on this day, relatives would spread a layer of ash on the ground, then leave home at night, waiting for the dead to return. The next morning, you can see footprints on the ground."
"But, since Tanhua's parents treated her so cruelly, it's natural that she doesn't miss home."
Chu Xinrou pretended not to believe it, but she couldn't stand Lan You's words and began to panic.
"Are you done? I can go now." Her face was tense, but her steps revealed her fear.
This time Lan You didn't stop her.
Chu Xinrou took a few steps when her cell phone rang.
In such a quiet environment, the sudden sound frightened Chu Xinrou's heartbeat and her mind was in a panic.
She paused for a second, intending to leave without looking at her phone.
"Do you want to check your phone first?" Lan You stood behind him and said steadily.
Chu Xinrou stopped, but she was only halfway to the door.
She took a deep breath and calmed the fluctuating emotions in her heart.
"Okay." She turned around and said calmly.
She took out her cell phone, opened the text message, and suddenly screamed. She was so scared that she threw the phone away.
Her eyes began to panic, her breathing became rapid, her hands kept shaking, and her mind kept echoing those words, "I'm back, I'm back..."
I don't know when, there was actually a voice in my ear, hoarse and a little hollow, "I'm back, I'm back to find you..."
Like the sound of a ghost.
Chu Xinrou was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.
The lights suddenly dimmed, plunging the entire room into darkness.
The sound of the wind rustling against the window was like the sound of footsteps.
Gentle, but a little scary.
Chu Xinrou's whole body was shaking. She quickly got up from the ground, muttering, "There are no ghosts in this world, no..."
It seems like he is telling himself not to think too much.
But the panic in his voice was like the chaos of war.
"Of course I'm not a ghost."
A voice that seemed to come from across the Yin and Yang boundary, hoarse, low, and extremely unpleasant to the ear.
I was scared when I heard it.
Chu Xinrou screamed in fear, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look up at what she had just accidentally seen.
His face was as pale as a ghost, his eyes were rolled back, his long black hair was scattered on both sides, and he was wearing a long white robe.
"Xinrou, are you afraid of me?" "Mi Epiphyllum" threatened her.
"I didn't, I didn't, go away, go away." Chu Xinrou sat on the ground, moving her body backwards.
She took a step back, and "Mi Epiphyllum" took a step forward, until Chu Xinrou had no room to retreat.
"What on earth are you going to do?" Chu Xinrou screamed in despair, hugging herself tightly with her hands.
"I..." "Mi Epiphyllum" paused for a second, then continued, "I'm in so much pain, my whole body is in so much pain, especially my stomach. It hurts so much, Xinrou, can you help me?"
Chu Xinrou said randomly, "This matter has nothing to do with me, why are you looking for me? It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me..."
There seemed to be the sound of raindrops falling in my ears, one drop after another, which was quite creepy.
"Did you hear it? Did you smell it?" The voice of "Mi Epiphyllum" was low at first, but it grew into a slight roar later.
Chu Xinrou heard and smelled it, and screamed, "Blood, it's blood..."
"Yes, that's the blood that came out of my stomach, in puddles, and it seemed like it was about to drain out." "Mi Epiphyllum" said slowly.
Suddenly, she raised her voice sharply, "It's all because of you, Chu Xinrou. You made everyone in Qinghe know that I was pregnant, and you even brought Lao Jiang's wife here. Aren't you trying to force me to death? If I die, I'll jump from a tall building. It hurts so much, and I want you to die too."
As soon as she finished speaking, "Mi Epiphyllum" pinched her neck with its long white fingers and looked at her with a hideous face, looking exactly like a female corpse.
Chu Xinrou almost fainted from fright.
He stuttered, "It's not... me. If you want to find... then go find Lan... Lan... You."
Mi Epiphyllum's eyes flickered slightly. Even at this point, he still refused to admit it. She said fiercely, "I hate people lying the most. Then you can go to hell with me."
The hand that was pinching her neck suddenly tightened.
Chu Xinrou could hardly breathe, and her sanity collapsed in an instant.
As expected, in the face of death, everything is trivial.
She spoke out hurriedly, "It's me, it's all my fault. I threatened Mr. Jiang to use your phone to text Lan You. I used Lan You's name to find Mrs. Jiang. I told you everything. Can you let me go?"
"Are you telling the truth?" asked Epiphyllum.
Chu Xinrou answered without hesitation, "It's the truth, I didn't lie to you."
