Chapter 21 Afraid of Ghosts

According to common sense, Duan Ye was born in a military family, so he did not engage in feudal superstition, but he was not afraid of anything since he was a child, but he was afraid of things that could not be seen in the dark.When he was a child, he went back to the countryside with his grandparents to live for a while. In the quiet and dark nights in the countryside, he couldn't sleep at all, so he pestered his grandmother, saying that he was too afraid to sleep by himself.Duan Ye's grandmother, also Liang Mei's mother, listened to the advice of the elders in the village and performed a small exorcism ceremony for Duan Ye. The "Taoist Priest" in Taoist robes sprinkled some talisman water on the child's forehead, took the money and left up.

What the grown-ups didn't understand was that this ceremony not only failed to make Duan Ye more daring, but also made him more convinced that those invisible ghosts existed.

So the child has been afraid of ghosts for more than ten years, and the man who is almost 16 years old has to turn on the lamp when he sleeps.

Duan Ye felt that it was normal to be afraid of ghosts, and he was terrified with confidence.

But at this moment, he felt that face was also very important.

The inside of the haunted house was surprisingly dark, and soon after entering the door, there were several open indoor windows, emitting a dim light.Suddenly a basketball-like object was thrown from one of the windows, and Duan Ye caught it.When he realized that the "ball" in his hand was still entangled with hair, he was so frightened that he threw the ghost head forward and jumped to hide by the wall.

"I rely on ah ah ah ah ah ah -"

Luo Xiaofei, who was walking in front, was not frightened by the ghost head, but was startled by Duan Ye's scream. He patted his chest and said, "Sir, you scared me to death, this is a fake ghost head, look , My hair was ripped off."

If it wasn't for the dark environment inside, everyone would have seen Duan Ye's face pale with fright.Duan Ye barely stood up straight, thinking that you had ripped off Mom's hair, I think you are scarier than a ghost, and he can no longer look directly at Luo Xiaofei.

However, Duan Xiaoye, who loves face the most in his life, can't lose face in front of his friends at this time.He tried to calm down and said, "It's okay, just now...just cleared my throat."

The three people in front: ...

This haunted house is not small in scale, and the inside is pitch black like a maze.The first few people were keen to play tricks on NPCs, and led Duan Ye all the way to find the "ghost".Fortunately, Duan Ye was at the end. The fierce NPCs in front were basically scared away by the tricks of the first three, so he was not very scared.

It's just that no one knows, Duan Xiaoye is still cursing in his heart: Why is this haunted house so big, and I haven't walked out after walking for so long.

For some reason, after turning a few turns forward, Young Master Duan was lost.At first he didn't react, only felt that the surrounding was suddenly much quieter, he reached out his hand in the dark to pull Luo Xiaofei's clothes forward, but found nothing, shouted a few times but no one responded.

At this time, Duan Ye suddenly realized that he had lost track.He was in the dark, with no source in front of him, and no way back.Relying on the dim light, he saw a door on both sides of the corridor in front of him, but he didn't want to open either.

No one spoke, and the entire corridor was quiet and eerie.The terrifying atmosphere was so full that Young Master Duan was almost unable to stand still.

Suddenly a grimace appeared in front of him, and it looked horrifying under the changing lights. Duan Ye was so frightened that he opened the door on the left and rushed in. He was so frightened that he closed the door with a "slap", not daring to confront him directly. Can he hide?

But this is a haunted house. "Ghosts" are everywhere. When he was in shock, he closed the door and wiped his sweat, and then turned around. There was a hospital bed in front of him, and a "ghost" covered with a white cloth lay on the bed. corpse".

It was a continuous wave, and Duan Ye felt a chill on his back, and slid to the ground on the spot.

"Mom..." Help! ! !

"Come here..." A resentful voice sounded in the room.

Come over here, Duan Ye thought to himself, I'm so scared that I'm going to pee, am I a fool if I still go there!

"Come here... come here..."

"but!"

"Come here... come here... come here..." The voice sounded like calling out souls, as if Duan Ye would not stop until Duan Ye passed.

After a stalemate for a while, Duan Ye realized that he was not so scared anymore, so he took out the bald monster headgear that Luo Xiaofei had given him and put it on his head, thinking that only you are allowed to scare me and I am not allowed to scare you, if that "corpse" suddenly cheated, Seeing the bald monster will definitely scare me to death.

Duan Ye stood up tremblingly. He mustered up the courage to walk to the bed, and then the "corpse" issued a new command: "Open the cloth..."

"...What kind of cloth is it really good to lift... Really, well, laugh, ha, ha, ha." Duan Ye laughed dryly a few times, trying to embolden himself.

After listening to Duan Ye's words, the "corpse" wrapped in white cloth seemed to pause consciously, and then said again: "Pick off the cloth, and I can fulfill your request."

"Really?" Duan Ye didn't quite believe it. Is there such a good thing?

"Really." The "corpse" replied sincerely.

"Then don't scare me, I tell you that if you scare me, I will scare you and me too!" Duan Ye was a little incoherent, he was really scared now.

"Well, I don't want to scare you." Strangely, the "corpse" spoke softly.

Duan Ye felt that this "corpse" was coaxing a child, which was too embarrassing.Duan Ye felt ashamed of being an imposing man, but he couldn't argue with a "ghost", so he could only be angry at himself silently in his heart.Now his emotions are extremely complicated. Simply put, he is afraid, ashamed and angry.

So under this complicated mood, he stretched out his hand and tore off the white cloth on the bed, revealing a pale face immediately.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Duan Ye was so frightened that he covered the white cloth again.

Xie Li: ...

"it's me."

I saw the "corpse" tore off the white cloth by itself, and sat up - it really was a "deceived corpse"!

"I'm begging you to go away, I will burn paper for you when I get home!" Duan Ye Duan Ye turned around and didn't dare to look at it, and retreated to the door.He didn't dare to open the door for fear that there would be ghosts waiting outside, and he didn't dare to look up at the "corpse" in the house.

Xie Li: ...

"It's me, Duan Ye." The "corpse" in white got out of bed, stretched out his hands, and walked slowly towards Duan Ye.

I rely on!This zombie actually knows Duan Ye's name!It's too evil!

"Don't, don't, don't! Don't come here..." Duan Ye began to wonder whether this ghost is real or fake...

Xie Li didn't expect that this person was afraid of ghosts to such an extent that he was completely different from the day he rescued him, and he didn't even see his face carefully.He didn't approach him again, but stopped three steps away from Duan Ye and squatted down.

Xie Li sighed, and said, "Duan Ye, I'm Xie Li, look at me, I just put on a layer of powder, it's fake."

The lights in the room were already dim, and people's faces could not be seen clearly. Because Duan Ye was too scared just now, he covered it with a white cloth after just one glance.When he heard the word Xie Li, he slowed down and looked up a few times at the "ghost" in front of him. It was indeed the pale and pale Xie Li.

It's really embarrassing... Duan Ye's mood now is ten thousand times more complicated than before, he suddenly found that this feeling is very familiar, it should be the nth time he has lost face in front of Xie Li...

"A Li, you're scaring me to death!" Duan Ye was frightened for a long time, and finally took a breath.

"You sound like you're terrified."

After confirming that he was an acquaintance, Duan Ye finally regained his vitality.He has a stubborn mouth, no matter how scared he is, he can't admit that he is scared in front of others, "Scared? How can it be! Yes, it feels quite exciting haha."

Xie Li: ...

"Why don't I take you out." Although we didn't spend much time together, Xie Li already knew very well that Duan Ye is the spokesperson of duplicity, "There is a shortcut in this room."

Okay, okay, take me out quickly, and Duan Ye said: "Okay, I don't want to play anymore, it's boring."

Xie Li: ...

Duan Ye never imagined that one day he would be led by a blind man.Xie Li pushed the bed away, a door appeared on the wall beside the bed, he pushed it lightly a few times, and the door opened, but it was still pitch black.

"Come with me." Xie Li said lightly.

The two walked into another dark space one after another. This is a narrower corridor, much darker than the room just now.

Duan Ye in the back didn't care whether Xie Li agrees or not, he firmly grabbed his arm, his forehead was almost pressed against Xie Li's back.Duan Ye is a few centimeters taller than Xie Li, and such a big and tall man is curled up behind Xie Li like a small bird at this time, which makes Xie Li think, "The person behind is really the one who rescued himself on a rainy night before." Is Duan Ye one against eight?" Thoughts.

Duan Ye was just scared at first, and didn't realize that he had already stuck to Xie Li's body. Later, he unconsciously moved his head to Xie Li's neck, and his forehead touched Xie Li's icy skin. He took a light breath and smelled Xie Li's body. Nice shower gel smell.He remembered this smell. He ate ice cream at the canteen before, and Xie Li had just taken a shower. It also smelled like this.

Unlike himself who sweats easily, this person is too fragrant, with a faint mint aroma, fresh and dry, he couldn't help taking a few more breaths quietly in the name of breathing.

Unexpectedly, after this fragrance entered his nostrils, it quickly spread to the whole body, stirring some nerves inadvertently.The scene of the two being tied up suddenly appeared in Duan Ye's mind. He asked Xie Li to help him bite off the blindfold. Xie Li came up and accidentally kissed his lips, and then Xie Li bit his black blindfold , with blurred eyes and looking up at his own picture.When Duan Ye didn't have time to think too much, and now these two pictures repeatedly appeared in front of him, Duan Ye realized that Xie Li was too good-looking.

The soft and cold red lips, the blurred and fragile eyes stayed in Duan Ye's mind for a long time, and he couldn't get rid of them no matter what.

Walking close to someone's back, inexplicably, the roots of the ears are as hot as fire.

Duan Ye realized that this was a dangerous signal.

I don't know if Xie Li noticed something was wrong with him, anyway, he was so nervous now that he had to take a step back to get away from the person in front of him.

Xie Li, who was walking in front, suddenly slowed down a few beats. He felt that the atmosphere had become weird for a few seconds just now.

"I didn't expect such a brave person like you to be afraid of ghosts." Xie Li said with a smile.

"I have been afraid of ghosts since I was a child, but this does not conflict with my own brave nature." Young Master Duan really cares about face.

"Oh." Xie Li said perfunctorily, he seemed to have gotten used to this person's nature of being afraid of losing face and often losing face.

"Aren't you afraid of it being so dark?" Duan Ye spoke quickly, and then remembered that Xie Li was blind. He couldn't see anything, so how could he be afraid?

Xie Li hesitated for a second before replying: "...I'm used to it."

"I worked here as a part-timer for two weeks. They said that I could make money while lying down here, so I came here. I usually only enter and exit through this passage, and it's very convenient." Xie Li was afraid that Duan Ye would think too much, so he took care of himself. explained.

"That...it's pretty good, how did you come up with a part-time job?" Duan Ye started to find nothing to say.

"Jiang Qiu is sick and resting at home, and the watermelon season is almost over, so I can't sell watermelons, so I have to come here to make some money." Xie Li answered calmly.

But it was his calmness that made Duan Ye feel ashamed. He blamed himself for asking that thoughtless question. Xie Li was obviously at his age when he should have fun, but because of his eye disease, because of his family, because of various reasons Forced to come out to work.

Maybe there are always a few people in the world who are as lucky as Duan Ye, but people who are suffering like Xie Li are all kinds of people in the world.

Duan Ye felt that he might have strange feelings towards Xie Li out of sympathy for the weak.But he is also very clear that Xie Li is the person who needs the least sympathy from others, and he hopes that others can treat him as a normal person.
