Chapter 59 The Fourth Hotel
The sick buildings with higher and higher stairs make walking more and more difficult.
When they reached the 5th floor, the stairs were already 30 centimeters high, and Ms. Xu and her 3 avatars began to feel embarrassed when they climbed up. They were not as young as Jia Jia, who could easily climb up with strength.
Xiang Ya and Jia Jia surpassed Ms. Xu and climbed to the 7th floor one step earlier. She asked Jia Jia to put herself down and go down to help carry some elderly people.
While waiting, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a shadow passing by in the dark corridor next to him.
Xiang Ya suddenly remembered that when she was letting the wind outside just now, she also saw someone on the roof.
She hesitated for a moment, then came to the banister of the stairs and shouted down: "Jia Jia, I'll go into the room and have a look."
After speaking, she walked slowly into the long and narrow aisle alone.
Xiang Ya recalled that Police Officer Zhang once said that the people living in the old sick building were old ghosts lingering on their last legs.
Although it is a ghost, the soul is still in the same state as an old person, and the threat is not high.
She came to the old sick building after going through a lot of hardships, and she always wanted to know as much as possible about this place.
Thus, the presence of Sombra pushes her thoughts.
There is no light in the aisle, and the darkness can only be illuminated by the dim light outside.
Xiang Ya's limbs are still in severe pain, and when he walks, he feels that his limbs will twitch if he can't help it.
Trying to suppress the pain, she walked slowly to a room with the door ajar.
This room is where the shadow entered.
The slightly cool hand put on the doorknob, the dried blood on the back of the hand looked very conspicuous, lowered his eyes to Ya, and pushed the door open in the next second.
The door was slowly pushed open, light and flowing wind entered the room, and the suffocating atmosphere seemed to dissipate a little.
Xiang Ya stared at the bulging figure on the bed, and said politely, "Hello, can you hear me?"
The things on the bed moved slightly, and the old face slowly turned from the dark place to the slightly brighter place.
Although the light was weak, Xiang Ya could still see the old man's face clearly.
The other party's eyeballs rolled very slowly, and their eyes were directed at Xiang Ya.
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the old man suddenly grinned, showing a strange smile, which made people feel terrified.
Xiang Ya couldn't help but backed away, his eyes fixed on the old ghost whose state had changed.
The old ghost did not assume an attacking posture, but sat up slowly, raised his wrinkled hand, and waved towards Ya.
"Little girl, come here, I'll tell you when I come here." The old ghost's voice was vague, but Xiang Ya could still hear what he was saying.
Xiang Ya frowned slightly, and she squeezed the talisman Mo Xinxin gave her.
He said coldly, "Sorry to bother you."
She was about to throw the talisman over, when suddenly the old ghost spoke again, and his voice was no longer old, replaced by a joking young male voice.
It sounds a bit like Chi Mingjun's voice.
Thinking of this bastard, Xiang Ya's body tensed subconsciously.
"You don't want to know, why are you special?"
"And the secret of this ward, don't you really want to know?"
Xiang Ya felt that all the cells in her body were clamoring for her to run away now - don't understand the secret, don't understand the past.
But Xiang Ya slowly put down the spell and looked at each other calmly.
"Who are you?"
In the dark space, the two silently confronted each other.
The old ghost coughed a few times and took out a pendant from the black cloth. The pendant was a square black jade with the same architectural pattern engraved on it as the pendant she was wearing on her neck now.
The patterns are the architectural symbols of the hotel.
The old ghost threw the pendant away, and indiscriminately threw it at Xiangya's feet.
He smiled wider and wider, "I'm Gui..."
Just as Gui Chi was about to pronounce his name, the familiar girl across from him quickly picked up the pendant.
He was so happy that his eyes were about to close.
βYes, pick it up, this is my sweet daughter. β
But just as he narrowed his eyes halfway, a black thing suddenly flew back in his field of vision.
The pendant gradually enlarged, and finally fell on him.
"Now that I think about it, I still want to find out the truth on my own."
"As for who you are, I don't want to know."
After Xiang Ya finished saying this, he immediately crushed the spell, and the violent fire instantly rushed towards the narrow single bed.
A strange man whose face is gradually becoming younger and clearer is also reflected.
It's just that the man's extremely flat face was like a flash in the pan, blurred in a blink of an eye, and his figure gradually became transparent.
Obviously, he can only appear in a dream temporarily now.
Xiang Ya stared earnestly at this face similar to Chi Mingjun, trying to imprint this appearance in his mind.
"You have become completely different from before. It's really uncomfortable to be destroyed by someone."
"I'll come back to find you."
Before Gui Chi's face disappeared completely, he said these two words with unknown meaning.
The light of the fire caught Jia Jia's attention outside, she immediately rushed to the room, and as soon as she came in, she smelled a smell that made her extremely disgusting.
Jia Jia saw her sister standing motionless in front of her, looking along her line of sight, there was nothing in the firelight.
The bed and surrounding objects were devoured by strange flames in the blink of an eye.
There was a crisp "ding bell", and the sound of hard objects falling to the ground sounded clearly.
Xiang Ya looked at the pendant on the ground faintly, turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Sister, what is that..." Jia Jia asked doubtfully.
At this time, Xiang Ya had already arrived at the door.
"Boring stuff." She suddenly turned around and said, "Don't bother."
The four old ghosts who followed stood at the door, and they couldn't help shivering when they saw the flames still burning in the room.
Xiang Ya took one more look at them.
Ms. Xu suddenly asked, "What's going on?"
Xiang Ya was not in a good mood, and instead of finding a clue, he encountered an unexpected enemy.
She was feeling a little irritable for no reason, and looking at Ms. Xu, she suddenly had the urge to "crazy despair in the face of a blemish", telling her that being insane had created different avatars.
But Xiang Ya quickly closed his eyes, raised them again, and put away all negative emotions.
"It's nothing, I met a weird person." She smiled, "Grandma Chen, do you know who lived here?"
The "Grandma Chen" who was asked didn't speak, and Ms. Xu rushed to answer in a rare way.
"There has been no one living here for a long time, but there was a patient who lived here half a year ago, and then his condition worsened and he was transferred to the 9th floor."
"On the same floor as me."
Xiang Ya listened quietly to the new information, a name popped up out of place, and she pronounced it intuitively.
"Li Huiqi."
Ms. Xu looked at her in surprise, "How do you know it's him?"
Xiang Yaxin said: "It really is this person." '
Li Huiqi was the name of the pilgrim that Grandpa Zhou told them at that time, an old man who was very afraid of death and would go to the temple to pray for good health whenever he was free.
This person just popped into her mind suddenly, and her strong intuition made her unable to bear the name.
"He often goes to the temple to offer incense. Grandpa Zhou told me about it."
Ms. Xu narrowed her eyes and said in a long voice, "I didn't expect you to know old man Zhou, is he okay?"
"He is in good health." Xiang Ya said.
'It seems that Ms. Xu and Grandpa Zhou have a poor relationship. '
As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Jia walked out of the room and took her on her back.
Ms. Xu walked back to the stairs, and said as she walked: "People who are in contact with ghosts and gods all day long will live longer than me."
"At that time, liar Zhou said that my merits and virtues were so bright that I would almost blind people, and that I would have good fortune and longevity in the future."
"Hey, if he sees me like this now, I don't think he can say it with a cheeky face?"
Xiang Ya heard that the words should be mocking, but she only said it in a peaceful tone. She said sincerely: "Ms. Xu, you must have done many good things during your lifetime."
Only when you do it, you will accept the praise of others for granted, and believe that your life will have a good ending.
Xiang Yaran felt that he had glimpsed the soft heart of the ghost in front of himββ
Even if she was really deceived, after her death, Ms. Xu was in a peaceful mood, without resentment or unwillingness.
But trapped in a dream, unable to break the predicament day after day, and corrupted by darkness, such a soul should have long resented Grandpa Zhou who had said that she would have a happy ending.
"Grandpa Huang" smiled with some pride on his face.
"Of course, I have been doing good deeds all my life. I have funded a lot of children to study. Once I have money, I can't save it. I will help anyone in any difficulty. I also bought this land specially because I don't want to see someone who is old and has nothing to do with it. ."
"Uncle Zhao" said in a low voice, "But in life, I am a transparent person. No one likes or cares. They say that I am withdrawn and boring and difficult to get along with..."
"But why should I get along with people who hate me? I don't live to please them." Ms. Xu suddenly took this sentence, her tone still arrogant.
"I want to help many, many people. They don't know what to do. I don't need the gratitude of others to live."
"Mother Chen" said warmly, "Because, I just want to pull them. People in the quagmire need to be pulled to survive. I want to be the one who pulls people."
"I've been poor and stupid, so I think others have the opportunity to learn; I'm lonely and lonely all my life, so I hope others will accompany me when I'm old; I don't like anyone, so I want to love more people."
...
Jia Jia stopped, and Xiangya and her looked at the four people who were talking to each other at the same time, and their hearts were touched indescribably.
Ms. Xu has been vicious and indifferent from the moment she appeared, but each avatar is the epitome of her inner emotions, and they are the condensation of her life experience after all kinds of things.
There are Granny Chen who is soft-hearted, Uncle Zhao who is inferior and timid, and Grandpa Huang who is optimistic in the face of evil words...
And the proud and powerful herself.
These people are all Ms. Xu.
"Why do you want to be such a person?" Xiang Ya's eyes were filled with hope that she couldn't even notice.
At this time, several people had returned to the stairs, and Ms. Xu supported "Mother Chen" by the shoulders, ready to step up the stairs.
Hearing this sentence, she looked back at Xiangya, raised her eyebrows for the first time and laughed.
The smile is somewhat arbitrary: "I am like hundreds of millions of people in the world, ordinary and ordinary. Such an ordinary me always thinks that my life as plain as boiled water is about to flow away, and I have to do something to make myself appear extraordinary."
"So, I choose to be a hero."
The author says:
On the surface, she has a vicious tongue and is withdrawn and difficult to approach, but I really love Ms. Xu who is so soft on the inside.
So the question is, who is Xu Hongfang who wants to eat Zhang sir upstairs~
