A Guest In A Ghost House

One was an excellent college student but the other was a waiter who was responsible for serving and was.h.i.+ng dishes. Accordingly, s.h.i.+ Xiaodie, who thought there was a big gap between herself and him, gradually started learning to forget Zheng Chen.

At this time, there was a man who was going after s.h.i.+ Xiaodie, who also wanted to try to forget Zheng Chen. She was together with that man soon, but the man had the virgin complex.

s.h.i.+ Xiaodie, who was abandoned by that man, had totally went to the bad. However, when she had just entered the abyss, she was surprised to receive a letter from Zheng Chen. In this letter, he expressed his love and missing for her, which made this woman, who used to feel inferior to herself, go into deep confusion.

It was at this time that s.h.i.+ Xiaodie knew one thing that all the sisters, who had been doing the s.e.x-related job with her together, would go home to get married and have the children after earning a sum of money.

Hence, this pointe became the hope of s.h.i.+ Xiaodie, so she began to return to the feeling of first love with Zheng Chen.

However, she didn"t know how Zheng Chen got to know her current situation and it was totally unacceptable for her. She even thought it was Zheng Chen who ruined her life and went to meet with him. When she knew it was irreparable, she chose to committed suicide in the end.

For this, Zheng Chen was full of guilty in his heart.

Her families, who had known her situation, dared not put up a pageantry, and could only falsely claim that s.h.i.+ Xiaodie had a sudden illness on the way back and then bury her body very easily.

It was at the time when they buried s.h.i.+ Xiaodie that they dug up a golden toad carving from the graveyard and also found that there even was an ancient tomb next to the graveyard.

Her family all didn"t make this public. Instead, they only buried her body and left.

This village was to small and the news was made public by those helpers. It also immediately attracted the attention of those unemployed villagers like Zheng Daqiang.

Therefore, Zheng Daqiang and friends decided to go to steal the ancient tomb. They falsely claimed they went to work and left the village.

According to Zheng Daqiang, the golden toad was buried together with s.h.i.+ Xiaodie.

I nodded and thought knowing s.h.i.+ Xiaodie"s experience was no help to the present situation. However, by contrast, I felt the n.o.bility from the depths of the soul of the woman named Chang.

“What shall we do now?” Su Jun asked.

I shook my head and said, “Go to find s.h.i.+ Xiaodie"s grave and solve the thing about her.”

“What about the woman named Chang?”

I just looked at Su Jun but didn"t speak.

A police officer came here. When he noticed the atmosphere of our silence was very strange, he reported in a low voice, “That golden toad carving has been a.s.sembled.”

I stood up and I and Su Jun followed that police officer to walk to one side. There was a golden toad carving on a distant table, covered with cracks and white binders.

I didn"t go to take it up. I only observed it for a long time and then said to Su Jun with smile, “s.h.i.+ Xiaodie, she could never escape.”

In the surprised eyes of Su Jun, I let old Mr. Chang come over and told him some of my requirements.

After the soul fusion of the golden toad and s.h.i.+ Xiaodie, there must be the breath of s.h.i.+ Xiaodie left on the golden toad. With this breath, I could trace her ghost. As for the body, it was no longer important.

Although I still didn"t know exactly how s.h.i.+ Xiaodie became a ghost, I thought it was very likely that her corpse was hurt when Zheng Daqiang and his friends went to steal the ancient grave.

Old Mr. Chang had set the spelling table and found a rooster in the village as I asked.

I put the golden toad carefully on the spelling table, tied it up with a red silk thread soaked in the blood of black dog, then lit the incenses and the candles.

After smearing the blood of the rooster"s crowns on the head of golden toad, I began to wait in silence.

Standing for a while, Su Jun took a look at unresponsive spelling table, also looked around and then asked me, “What are you doing now? Just this can work?”

I shook my head and answered him, “The red silk thread is used to trap s.h.i.+ Xiaodie so that she can"t leave a certain range and the blood of the rooster crown is something with most Yang. Once it is smeared on the golden toad, s.h.i.+ Xiaodie will feel her whole body is being burnt by the fire.”

“Then she will come out?”

I continued shaking my head and answered him, “Not necessarily. If she doesn"t come out, her body will keep being burnt by the fire. Anyway, there are so many roosters in the village. I will change one every once in a while. I bet that she certainly can not hold on for a long time.”

No sooner had I finished my saying than I heard a weak female voice, “Why do you do this to me?”

I looked toward the direction of the voice, only to find that s.h.i.+ Xiaodie was standing on the open s.p.a.ce, looking at me with an aggrieved expression on her face.

“Didn"t you get hit to death by a car? Do you want to show us your face of death?”

The grievance expression on her face suddenly disappeared and she just looked at me with hatred.

The face of death was left by the people at the moment of death and it was just the same as the peeled Xiao Lingdang I saw in those days. It was just that the face of death, after all, was not very good. Most of time, ghosts will appear in the way they were alive.

s.h.i.+ Xiaodie said, “I don"t mess with you. Why are you always chasing after me?”

I took a look at her and replied, “You shouldn"t hurt the child and Zhou Yan.”

When I was saying, I also pulled out one candle on one side and dripped the wax on the shoulder of the golden toad.

After a sudden painful exclamation, s.h.i.+ Xiaodie also covered her own shoulder, where there are plumes of white smoke coming out from the c.h.i.n.k of her fingers.

This was the legendary dropping wax. I thought with malice and still kept saying, “You have no choice.”

s.h.i.+ Xiaodie covered her should, looking at me and clenching her teeth, “I have no choice. Right, I do have no choice. I have loved the wrong person and what choice can I have?”

“You have loved the wrong person? No. Although Zheng Chen hates you a little, he still visits you after you die. He very loves you. Your wrong lies in that you never love yourself.”

“He loves me? Visits me? Ha Ha Ha Ha!” s.h.i.+ Xiaodie gave out crazy laughter, but then burst into tears, saying, “He has let me swap grave with Zhang Fei. Is that loving me? He should love Zhang Fei!”

Well. Her words made me have no way to answer, but I also didn"t understand that Zheng Chen obviously loved s.h.i.+ Xiaodie, but why he still let her swap the grave with the woman named Chang.

“You must have no words to say, right?”

I just looked at s.h.i.+ Xiaodie. As I was about to open my mouth, a gentle and crisp voice suddenly sounded.

“Zheng Chen did that for you. I had appeared in his dream and made a request. There was evil thing next to your graveyard, which was slowly eating away at your soul. To revamp your soul, Zheng Chen finally swapped your and my graveyard. However, what I didn"t expect was that Zheng Daqiang, that son of b.i.t.c.h, went to steal the ancient grave and broke that evil thing.”

Eyes of all the people were focused on the sudden appearance of figure. With square face and thick eyebrow, that was the woman named Chang.

“No, that"s impossible. How can you appear in Zheng Chen"s dream?” s.h.i.+ Xiaodie was stunned for a moment and kept shaking his head.

The woman named Chang sighed and said, “Because Zheng Chen wants to call the police to help me. Because he loves you.”

“Really?” s.h.i.+ Xiaodie stupidly looked at the woman named Chang.

“Yes, but all is over.” Zheng Chen"s voice suddenly sounded, and I saw he with his family stood still in a cloud of fog.

s.h.i.+ Xiaodie wanted to go forward but was stopped by Zheng Chen, and she said, “I have made mistake. I have mistaken. Now we both are the ghosts and we can always be together.”

Zheng Chen shook his head and said, “Xiaodie, go to reincarnation with us.”

“No. No.” s.h.i.+ Xiaodie also shook her head and said, “If we go, then we couldn"t be together.”

Zheng Chen sighed, and Zhou Yan was holding his arm, comforting him silently.

s.h.i.+ Xiaodie stared at Zhou Yan"s hand, which was holding Zheng Chen"s hand, with hatred. However, her hatred suddenly disappeared and then said with a face of grievance, “Zheng Chen, I really love you. Sister Chou, I have known I am wrong.”
