Hearing his wife's scream, Guo Donghai suddenly opened his eyes and looked beside him, but did not see his wife on the bed.
He listened carefully again and realized that his wife must have gotten up to go to the bathroom at night and was now in the toilet!
Worried that something had happened to his wife, Guo Donghai immediately got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, where he saw his wife squatting on the ground, covering her head and shivering.
"What's wrong? What happened to you?"
Guo Donghai quickly ran towards his wife.
Hearing his voice, his wife suddenly stood up and rushed to him, then said with a look of horror on her face.
"Ghost, I just saw a ghost!"
Guo Donghai was also startled, but he asked as calmly as possible.
"Where? Where did you see the ghost?"
The wife was trembling all over and pointed her finger towards the living room.
"I just finished using the restroom and was about to turn off the lights when I came out of the bathroom, and then, I saw a shadow floating across the living room!"
Guo Donghai subconsciously looked towards the living room.
There was no light in the living room at the moment, but the light from the bathroom shone through, allowing him to barely see what was going on in the living room.
He held his breath and carefully scanned every corner of the living room, but did not find any unusual "ghosts".
Occasionally, the lights of cars on the side of the road would flash by and reflect through the glass outside.
Guo Donghai speculated that his wife might have mistaken the car lights for "ghosts".
So he comforted his wife.
"There's no ghost. It must be that the light outside was a little too bright, and you mistook it for a ghost. Don't scare yourself."
With Guo Donghai's company, there were indeed no more strange shadows in the room, and his wife gradually came to her senses.
She thought about it and felt that what Guo Donghai said made sense.
Lighting and perspective can sometimes lead people to misunderstand things and imagine all sorts of horrific scenes.
In the end, the two of them didn't think about it anymore and turned back to the bedroom.
When he was sleeping, something suddenly flashed through Guo Donghai's mind. He remembered the threat posed to him by the female ghost in his dream yesterday, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
He wanted to ask his wife immediately what the "ghost" she saw looked like, but thinking that his wife had just let go of the matter, if he asked now, she would probably be scared and unable to sleep again.
Therefore, Guo Donghai could only swallow this question for the time being and decided to ask it again during the day the next day.
When he asked his wife the next day, she said she didn't look carefully and only saw a white shadow flash by.
Hearing this, Guo Donghai couldn't tell whether it was light or the female ghost.
I can only pray that it is the light.
As a result, he was severely slapped in the face that night.
Guo Donghai didn't have any dreams that night. He was inexplicably woken up by a series of ding-dong sounds in the middle of the night.
I opened my eyes and found that it was still dark outside.
He originally thought that the noise was his wife making breakfast, but it was still dark and his wife would not get up so early.
Then he turned around and took a look. His wife was sleeping soundly on the bed. It was obviously impossible that she had made the noise.
The noise did not stop even after Guo Donghai woke up, but continued to think.
The sound came from the living room, like someone was fiddling with bottles or jars, or moving something.
Guo Donghai was worried that there was a thief in the house, so he immediately stood up, tiptoed quietly to the bedroom door, opened the bedroom door a crack with the slightest movement, and looked into the living room.
With the moonlight outside, he clearly saw a white figure in the living room fiddling with the green ivy that his wife had planted in a pot.
And that figure...
It turned out to be exactly the same as the back of the female ghost he had dreamed about a few days ago!
Guo Donghai's body stiffened and the blood in his body almost solidified.
He looked at the scene in disbelief, and quickly reached out and pinched his leg to verify whether he was dreaming or it was real.
The pain in his legs made him realize that this was not a dream!
After playing with the green radish vase for a while, the female ghost quickly walked to the LCD TV hanging on the wall and knocked on it curiously, as if she didn't know what it was.
After she was sure that she couldn't understand the LCD TV, she put her hands behind her back and looked elsewhere.
He looked so leisurely, as if he was touring his new home!
Looking at the leisurely figure wandering in the living room, Guo Donghai's heart was beating like thunder. He wanted to rush up to the ghost and ask her why she was pestering him. But when he thought of the threats the ghost had made to him in his dream before, he suddenly didn't dare to go forward.
In the end, he could only close the door tremblingly and quietly, then returned to bed again.
But after lying on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep anymore, and he didn't dare to sleep at all.
In the end, I could only tense up my nerves and prick up my ears to listen to the noise outside.
The noises continued until dawn, when they disappeared.
Guo Donghai's heart, which had been hanging in the air all night, finally settled down temporarily.
His wife also woke up before dawn. Seeing Guo Donghai's eyes open, she wondered why he woke up so early the next day.
But at first glance, I felt something was wrong. He didn't look like he had just woken up, but rather like he hadn't slept all night. There were red bloodshot in his eyes!
When Guo Donghai saw his wife wake up, he wanted to tell her what happened in the living room last night, but he was worried about where the female ghost was hiding in the house.
He suddenly didn't dare to speak rashly, so he could only find an excuse to let his wife put on her clothes and go out with him.
His wife didn't understand, but seeing that he looked anxious, she thought something serious had happened, so she just put on some clothes and went out with him.
Once the couple walked a long distance out of the community, Guo Donghai told his wife with a pale face what he had secretly witnessed last night.
The wife was naturally shocked when she heard this.
She initially suspected that Guo Donghai had seen it wrong, but Guo Donghai said that the female ghost he saw last night was exactly the same as the one that appeared in his dream a few days ago!
These two things combined together, this is definitely not normal!
Now the two of them didn't dare to go home, so they came to find Lin Xi directly.
After listening to Guo Donghai's story, Lin Xi asked him, "What did you do a few days before you first dreamed of that female ghost? Can you still recall it?"
According to Guo Donghai, he and his wife had lived in their home for so many years and had never encountered any strange things at home. However, during this period, they frequently dreamed of a female ghost and even saw a ghost at home.
There was absolutely no way this ghost was living in his house. It was very likely that he had provoked it from outside.
When Guo Donghai heard this, he quickly said, "It should be possible. Let me think about it."
On the day he dreamed of the female ghost, he was sure that he did not encounter anything unusual.
He had breakfast at home in the morning, drove to work, went to work, and went home in the afternoon.
Not to mention any accidents, the roads were so clear that day that there wasn't even a traffic jam.
Two days ago, everything was similar, and I went to get off work and left on time.
A little further on it's the weekend.
He did go on a long trip that weekend.
He went to a suburban funeral home to pay his respects to his father.
Guo Donghai and his wife are not locals. They came to Jiangyu for work reasons many years ago and settled here temporarily.
Later, when their situation here stabilized, they brought his father's elderly father from his hometown over.
Unfortunately, his father was not in good health and died of illness after living here for more than a year.
Originally, Guo Donghai should have sent his father back to his hometown for burial after his death, but he was very busy at work during that time and had to deal with a large project. If he went back to his hometown, it would take at least a week to go back and forth and arrange his father's grave.
It turns out that he has already taken a few days off since his father came here, so the time for more leave is definitely not enough.
They also found out that funeral homes have a business of storing ashes. They can temporarily store the ashes of the deceased in the funeral home for a period of time, ranging from one or two days to several years or even more than ten years, and they can also come to pay tribute to the deceased at any time.
Guo Donghai and his wife both thought this was quite unreasonable.
First, store the father's ashes in the funeral home, and then bring the old man's ashes back to Dong when they return to their hometown.
Moreover, during this period, they can pay homage at any time, which is much more convenient than going back to their hometown to pay homage!
If they were to go back to their hometown, they would probably only be able to go back once or twice a year given their current situation. By the time they go back, the grass on their father's grave might be one meter high.
So the two finally contacted the funeral home and stored their father's ashes there.
This deposit lasted for 10 years.
During those years, Guo Donghai would go to the funeral home to "see" his father almost every month, burn some paper money and incense for him, chat with him, etc.
That weekend, he paid his respects to his father and went home as usual, and again, nothing unexpected happened.
After reviewing it, Guo Donghai became more and more confused.
"Master, is it really impossible that the ghost came to my house for no reason?"
It's not impossible.
But people who are haunted by ghosts for no reason are either those whose birth date is too unlucky, or those who are extremely evil and have their bad luck come to an end.
However, Lin Xi had just looked at the faces of Guo Donghai and his wife and knew that neither of them was a wicked person.
She asked for their birth dates and horoscopes, but they didn't match either.
Also, the ghost appeared in Guo Donghai's dreams many times, which definitely required some connection with him.
Based on this point of view, Guo Donghai's statement is not valid.
But from Guo Donghai's description, he really didn't encounter anything strange during that period.
Another strange thing is that in the dream that Guo Donghai had about his father, his father actually asked him to burn paper money.
But didn’t Guo Donghai say that he had burned his period for his father?
He has been burning for so many years, there is no reason why he would be so stupid as to burn the wrong object this time.
Lin Xi thought for a moment, and finally decided to go to his house first, find the ghost and ask him, maybe everything will become clear.
When Guo Donghai and his wife heard that Lin Xi wanted to visit their house, there was no way they could refuse, and they quickly invited Lin Xi into their car.
Forty minutes later, Lin Xi arrived at the home of Guo Donghai and his wife.
Before she even entered the house, she felt a sinister aura in the house. It seemed that the ghost had indeed haunted Guo Donghai's house before.
After entering the room, Guo Donghai and the others were extremely nervous, fearing that the female ghost in the house would suddenly jump out.
But after looking around, Lin Xi said, "She's not here for the time being."
The couple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
