A Guest In A Ghost House

I looked around and glanced at the people who had not yet left. Among them was the beautiful Qin. I went over to where most of them were standing while waving at Xiao Lingdang. Xiao Lingdang jumped over. She always took advantage of the energy of her youth. This was why I liked Xiao Lingdang so much...

"Xiao Lingdang! What is everyone doing?"

"The appointment of the Oiran, of course! "

"Right, I knew that. but why did they all leave?"

"After the appointment of the Oiran, they always leave."

Communicating with Xiao Lingdang was a bit difficult. Perhaps I was asking about it all wrong. I decided to rephrase my statement.

"Xiao Lingdang, why did Wen Jing spread out all of her spirit just now?"

" To appoint the Oiran."

"I know that, but why did she want to spread it out?"

" After the appointment of the Oiran, it will certainly spread out."

Well, Xiao Lingdang wasn"t wrong. I turned my eyes to lady Qin who was listening to my silly conversation with Xiao Lingdang. Lady Qin was very considerate and patient when telling me about the common practice of appointing the Oiran. Of course, if she hadn"t had a lisp, it would be much easier to understand her.

The appointment of the Oiran was a unique ability of the ghost house, and the female ghost as oiran, in the evening of becoming the Orian, would have a magical ability. That was hundreds ghosts to find the way. It was very simple. Now many people in society have died in vain or accidentally. Of course, there were some other cases. These people that became ghosts could not find their own bodies, relatives, and the magic hundreds of ghosts to find the way can use the spirit in the Oiran"s whole body to help those ghosts with obsession to find their bones, relatives, and even the earnest person or thing in their own mindfulness.

And Oiran that lost the whole body"s spirit will enter the third floor of the ghost building, and would be protected by ghosts of the ghost building and even the entire region. Because of this reason, the ghost building had such a well-known power in the county and even beyond that. No one knew how intertwined the ghost building relations.h.i.+p would be.

I suddenly had a kind of happiness to join the great power. It seemed that as a member of the ghost building, I would have a very great role. I did not know why I looked towards Su Qing, but Su Qing was obviously still lost in her thoughts. She had no time to talk to me.

Xiao Lingdang came up to me and took my hand: "Brother, let"s go look for my skin."

If it hadn"t seen Xiao Lingdang drooling, I would have believed it.

"Xiao Lingdang, we"re on the clock."

"You may go and help Xiao Lingdang find her skin, do it as soon as possible. There are a hundred different ghosts finding the way today, so the possibility that Xiao Lingdang will find her skin will also increase greatly." sister Hua showed up beside me unexpectedly, speaking seriously for a change.

I asked sister Hua curiously: "The hundred ghosts that are finding the way have been doing this for many years right? Why has Xiao Lingdang still been unable to find her own skin?"

Sister Hua humphed when she looked at Xiao Lingdang and then walked away. I didn"t understand why she responded that way and looked to Xiao Lingdang for an answer. She said with embarra.s.sment: " I don"t have an obsession."

"Uhm, you don"t have an obsession? If you had don"t have an obsession, then why do you asked me every day to help you find your skin?"

"Sister Lulu told me it was the only way to scare people."

d.a.m.n it Lulu, but it was strange. Since Xiao Lingdang didn"t have obsession, is she really pulling me out for the skin, or is she just trying to eat?

I looked at Xiao Lingdang doubtfully. After getting the consent of sister Hua, Xiao Lingdang becomes impatient and drags me out of the door. At this time, Su Qing stood up and handed me a silver bracelet: "Take this with you. If the child finds you and sees this, he won"t hurt you."

I nodded and was about to ask whether Su Qing had figured out how to deal with this matter, but I saw Qin beauty stands behind Su Qing and shook her head slightly. I had to shut up and let myself be pulled by Xiao Lingdang.

The gate of the ghost building opened, Xiao Lingdang was pulling me so hard, I was heading towards the ground. "Slow down, slow down. I"ll go with you!"

After I agreed to go with her, Xiao Lingdang suddenly let me go. It threw me off balance and I ended up on the ground. I was preparing to scold Xiao Lingdang, then I looked up and immediately felt embarrased. I saw a 20-something year old girl holding a long selfie stick looking at me. Her face was rather pale and her small mouth was slightly quivering. She was very obviously petrified.

I smiled, embarra.s.sed, "Excuse me." I said as I walked past her. I took a few steps and looked back to see her still standing there in a daze. "Remember, this house is haunted. If you don"t need anything in there, I suggest you don"t go in. h.e.l.l, even if you you do need anything from in there, I still don"t suggest you go in."

When I was about to leave the front porch, I looked back. The girl was still standing at the gate of the ghost building. Alas, young people were so fond of hunting for adventures and experiencing the supernatural. I hoped she wouldn"t end up in trouble with anyone or anything for being around or inside the house.

Xiao Lingdang was acting very casual and wasn"t even asking to look for her skin. Instead, she was pulling me right towards the night market stall. Unfortunately, even though it wasn"t terribly late, the owner was already closing down the stall.

I said h.e.l.lo to the boss as he responded with a suspicious look. I called over over a taxi under the scrutinizing gaze of the stall"s boss.

I had originally wanted to go to the main night market street, but I started thinking about Xiao Lingdang and the scene that would develop from it. I decided it would be better to go to a stall by my place. Not many people typically went there and I also knew the boss of in that one.

Either way, Xiao Lingdang was just looking for something to eat. She wouldn"t care where we went.

It wasn"t long before we arrived. The night market stall was rather empty, with just a few people sitting down and enjoying the food. As amatter of fact, it was just a family of three at one table, they were locals and I had seen them before, though I didn"t know them personally. We smiled and greeted each other before finding a remote corner to grab a seat. I don"t know if I was just imagining it, but it seemed like the boss was looking at me weird as I was ordering the food.

Before long, I had finished ordering the dishes we wanted. However, once I finished, the boss did not leave. Instead, he sat down across from me. To him, I was alone, so there really wasn"t a reason for me to refuse his presence. Especially since I used to come here often to eat alone. I would often ask the boss to have a drink with me, and if he wasn"t busy he would humor me and have a couple with me before getting back to work.

I joked as I usually would: "Since you"re here, there should be some wine here with you!" I didn"t actually want to drink with the boss, it was just so easy to get along with him and I would typically get carried away spending time with him. Besides, he often just had a small cup or two with me, before minding his own business and it"s not like he would notice Xiao Lingdang there with us.

But the boss shook his head, and hesitated: "Ah, Wu. Is everything ok at home?"

I was stunned. A lot of things happened recently, they all had to do with the ghosts, but there"s no way the boss would know about that.

The boss looked at me and went on, "As soon as I saw your face, I knew it. You don"t know yet. I"ve been going to the hospital these days to check up on, and see your mother. She seems very weak, her body looks haggard. Xue"er used to be so well behaved, now she is always crying, hiding in the corner of the room... ."

Before the boss finished, I grabbed the boss"s hand. "What are you talking about? What happened to my mother and Xue"er?"

The boss was frightened by my reaction, but he understood my situation very well: "I am not sure, and your mother doesn"t reply when I say h.e.l.lo to her. It"s as if she"s always in a daze."
