I couldn't help but swallow my saliva and began to doubt the authenticity of the mountain ghost.
Lao Qiang put down his clothes, pointed at me and said, "Remember, strictly abide by those three rules, and you will be safe!"
Now I didn't dare to take it seriously, so I could only bite the bullet and say yes.
Now everyone has no intention to continue chatting, so they plan to have a good night's rest.
Lao Qiang made two rooms for us. Originally, those two rooms were filled with sundries. After moving around, we had a place to rest.
Lao Jiang and Ge Weihan sleep in the same room. As for me, they stay in another slightly cleaner room so that I can take care of Yin Ling'er more conveniently.
The silver bell fever is not as severe as before, but I still complain that my throat hurts...
I touched her throat. It was slightly swollen and probably inflamed.
I fed Yin Ling'er medicine, drank water, and helped her knead the Shaoshang point on my fingers. This point can also clear the lungs, soothe the throat, refresh the mind, relieve fever, and has an immediate effect on acute throat pain. effect.
It turned out that Yin Ling'er would make uncomfortable calls from time to time, and would fall asleep after being rubbed.
But she was still a little hot, so I fanned her aside, hoping that she would be completely fine tomorrow morning.
After fanning for some time, I became a little sleepy.
At this moment, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside the window: "Li Jinglan... Li Jinglan..."
That voice woke me up instantly, and the fan in my hand fell to the ground at some point.
"Li Jinglan...Li Jinglan..."
The voice outside the window was still calling me. It was obviously not an illusion. Just as I was about to respond, the extremely frightened face of Lao Qian suddenly appeared in my mind.
"No matter who calls your voice, don't answer it." That warning still rings in my ears, and I certainly won't violate it.
Besides, the voice outside sounds like someone singing with a pinched throat, so I won’t be fooled.
"Li Jinglan, Li Jinglan!"
The voice began to become urgent, and it kept changing its tone, some were rough, some were serious, and some were soft. In short, all kinds of voices were calling me, one after another, over and over again.
I blocked my ears and dared not listen, but the sound seemed to come from my ears.
The voice became more and more terrifying, less and less like a human being. Instead, it sounded like a female fox holding her throat and chanting someone's name!
Seeing that I ignored him, the voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared...
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to cover my ears and fan Yin Ling'er. After fanning me, I fell asleep again.
I vaguely heard a light rain outside. The patter of rain was accompanied by the ticking of footsteps. It seemed that someone came outside, and it began to knock on the window slowly.
Here we go again, here we go again!
My heart suddenly tightened, and a woman's soft voice sounded outside: "Can you open the door? It's raining heavily outside."
Haha, where did this woman come from in this wilderness?
I ignored her, but she was still whimpering: "Open the door, everyone is getting wet."
That's a window, not a door!
My reason still prevailed, and soon, the rain became heavier and heavier, the wind roared outside, and the trees were blown to make a roaring sound.
The woman's voice became urgent: "Open the door, open the door!"
As she spoke, she knocked hard on my window.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang, the sound seemed to hit my heart through the window, making my whole body tremble.
"Open the door for me!" This time the woman's voice suddenly turned into a man's voice. It was tall and thick, but it spoke in a high voice, which was indescribably weird.
"Brother Jinglan, wuwu, brother Jinglan!" Just as I was trying to resist the sound of knocking on the window, Yin Ling'er's sobs sounded in my ears. She seemed to be frightened by the sound, and her little hands were shaking wildly.
In the darkness, Yin Ling'er's face could not be seen clearly, only the swaying shadow of the bamboo forest swayed in the house.
"Brother Jinglan, brother Jinglan."
Listening to Yin Ling'er's cry, I quickly grabbed her hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, brother Jinglan is here."
Then I don’t know if it was my imagination, but I actually felt that the hands I was holding were ice cold, as if I had just been fished out of the water.
The woman on the bed suddenly burst into laughter like silver bells: "Hee hee, I caught you."
At that moment, I was stunned. This voice was clearly the same as the voice of the woman outside the door just now!
I broke out in a cold sweat all over my body. The woman on the bed sat up. I couldn't see her face clearly. I only knew that she was approaching me with a ferocious smile.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across, and the woman actually had the face of a fox!
"Am I beautiful?" It stroked its triangular face, showing a hint of shyness.
However, I was so frightened that I almost suffered a cardiac arrest and ran away. However, there was no door to this room at all, and the only way to Lao Jiang's room was blocked by the fox.
I ran towards the window like crazy, trying to escape through the window.
However, at that moment, I suddenly missed the step, swayed, and fell to the ground.
It was still dark in front of him, but there was no sound of rain or wind at all. The whole room was unusually quiet, and Yin Ling'er also fell asleep on the bed without saying a word.
What's going on? Did I have a nightmare just now?
But why is it so real?
Taking advantage of the moonlight leaking from the window, I boldly moved to the window, but there was no shadow outside the window, let alone knocking on the window.
It all seemed like just a dream for me.
But the feeling of this dream was so real that no matter how sleepy I was in the second half of the night, I couldn't fall asleep. Whenever I felt a little sleepy, I would pinch my thigh.
I finally waited until dawn, and then my hanging heart fell to the ground.
I didn't sleep all night, and I felt light-headed, but I was afraid that the dream was real, so I couldn't help but go to the window.
Anyway, it's daybreak now, so I should be fine...
With a pair of panda eyes and lingering fear, I opened the window, and what came to my face was a fresh and refreshing breath. It reminded me of an ancient poem: After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather comes late in autumn!
If it weren't so scary at night, I would really like to live in the mountains and live in seclusion.
I wanted to know if a fox had been here last night. I looked at the land under the window and saw that there was nothing there except a pool of water and soil.
It rained heavily last night, and even if there were any footprints, they were washed away.
Since I didn’t see it, just pretend I didn’t. I comforted myself and wanted to change my clothes. As a result, it was really heavy in my pocket, and when I took it out, it was shining with gold, and it suddenly caught my eye.
I took a closer look and saw that they were actually melon seeds made of gold, which are often referred to as ‘golden melon seeds’ in the antique world!
