A Guest In A Ghost House

He Xiaoru pointed at me and spoke with difficulty, "Oh G.o.d! There... There"re two ghosts behind you!"

I looked around and saw Sister Tan and Xiao Lingdang behind me. I wanted to explain that they didn"t have any evil intentions. A thought occurred to me suddenly and I asked them curiously, "Wait, you can see them?"

The crowded nodded their heads. Huang Xiaolong"s expression turned to one of satisfaction, "Thanks to my Cattle tears, seeing ghosts is easy!"

I looked at Huang Xiaolong with much curiosity, even after just three days" absence, a scholar must be regarded with new eyes. Now it seems a bit more clout.

I vaguely told them about the origin of the two female ghosts, all they had to know was that they were my friends and they wouldn"t hurt us. Upon hearing this, they all calmed down but dared not get close to them.

It was clear that Wu Jian had already adapted well to the ghost scene. He asked Huang Xiaolong for some Cattle tears，applied some to his face and asked, " Have you found Qi Lin?"

Huang Xiaolong still playing with a gadget in his hand, "We were just asking that old guy."

I looked around. The old man only revealed half of his body over the grave and looked very angry. However, he didn`t walk up and out of it. He simply stared at Huang Xiaolong"s hand with a little fear.

I looked over at Huang Xiaolong, in his hand was a golden rectangle .It looked like a seal made of copper. I couldn"t see it clearly since he was playing around with it in his hand.

Wu Jian kept asking, "Does he know?" After applying the Cattle tears, he could also see the ghosts that were around him.

Once the tears began to take effect, it looked as if he had entered a state of temporary paralysis.

Before Huang Xiaolong could say anything more, the old guy burst out crying, "I really don"t know!"

Wu Jian and I looked at Huang Xiaolong, he scratched his head coyly. He had a feeling that something wrong and explained matter of factly, "This one"s always here. If Qi Lin came by, it"s impossible that he doesn"t know anything."

His words made sense, but he sounded a bit too certain about the ghost"s habits.

Sister Tan stepped forward and whispered something to the old man. He then turned around and told us that he really hadn"t lied to us.

I was confused by what had just happened, "What did you say to him? I couldn"t understand anything you said."

Xiao Lingdang , who was standing behind her said, "She spoke to him in the ghost language!"

"Oh." I replied in an understanding tone. But it seemed Huang Xiaolong wasn"t satisfied with their response. He became visibly angry and yelled, "Nonsense! How do we know that they aren"t lying?"

Before Xiao Lingdang had a chance to explain further, a calm voice said, "You are here."

Everyone, including the ghosts turned around to see where the voice was coming from. There was a blurry figure standing under a tree in the distance. She wore a white dress with waist-length raven hair.

The voice sounded familiar, it reminded me of the voice that had come from the phone call with Qi Lin. However, this was obviously a girl and Qi Lin was definitely a man! How could this be happening...? It wasn"t just me either, everyone present was totally blown away. I could hear He Xiaoyong saying, "Is he Qi Lin? No! It can"t be Qi Lin!"

The figure walked toward us slowly. I couldn"t help but take a step back, retreating with the sound of crus.h.i.+ng pebbles under my foot. Then I thought of something. While looking at the figure in the distance, I asked Sister Tan, who was standing next to me, "Beautiful, do you know what"s going on?"

She didn"t answer me, I turned my head and saw that she was also watching the figure with total confusion, perhaps her mind was wandering. I could see her blank eyes and blank face.

d.a.m.n it! I could tell that this was a crucial moment to decide what to do!

The white figure was only a few steps from us, and his face was becoming more clear. He had nice cheek bones and was very obviously, a man. So why was he wearing a long dress and sporting long hair?

"Qi Lin!" said both He Xiaoyong and Huang Lei.

As expected, he was Qi Lin, but he looked like a woman. I looked at Qi Lin"s chest carefully, it was already protruding a bit, though it was not obvious.

He watched us slowly, and opened his mouth just like a dead man, "You came."

He Xiaoyong and everyone else trembled, then Huang Lei stepped forward, "Who are you? Just show us who you really are!"

Qi Lin was stunned by Huang Lei"s bold words. He appeared to be in a daze for no longer than a second, before saying slowly, "You may trade with me."

Huang Xiaolong smiled, "How dare you..." but he didn"t get a chance to finish his sentence. I felt a jerk on my sleeve and Sister Tan beckoned me to say something.

To be honest, I was getting frightened by Huang Xiaolong"s reaction myself, so I stepped forward and interrupted him, "Trade what?"

Qi Lin answered, "My child, find my child and you can keep your lives."

Huang Xiaolong felt scorned by what Qi Lin had said. Though I was not frightened by Qi Lin either, I did have to work in the building at midnight. So I spoke to Qi Lin once more, "Don"t talk like that! We are willing to help you find your child, but we can"t guarantee that we"ll find him. Maybe you can help by telling us where your kid is?"

His voice became cold, "My kid is at home. If you can"t find my kid, then you will die!"

Home? I was curious about it and ignored the above words, just hear the last sentence.

Qi Lin continued, "You have already been there, inside my house. If you can"t find my child, all of you will die! You will all die!"

Qi Lin gradually disappeared into the night sky.

He had left all of us wondering, had we really been to her house? If so... was his home that abandoned toilet?

It seemed, He Xiaoyong had also understood, "The toilet?"

I frowned without saying anything, I had been to taht toilet and it was very clean, it had no gloomy interior. There was no way that a ghost could live there.

However, Huang Xiaolong nodded his head and talked to us seriously, "It must be there! We should go there tomorrow morning. I"m sure I can find him. Honestly, if brother Wu Rui hadn"t stopped me, I would have already..." He didn"t finish the sentence, but I knew what he meant.

I apologized to Sister Tan, I felt as if she had a wasted her time, but she said it didn"t matter. She lived nearby. It was okay as long as I could drive her home.

It was 4.00 a.m. now. I was supposed to drive Xiao Lingdang home, but Sister Tan welcomed her to stay the night. So I left Xi Shan"s ma.s.s grave with the others. We had prepared the schedule for tomorrow and went home in our separate ways.
