Chapter 18 Where's My Spirit!?(1/2)
The little episode between Chen Lusi and Xia Panqiu just made Wu You happy.
It didn't seem to improve the relationship between the two.
Xia Panqiu ignored Chen Lusi and started working.
However, it is more like wandering aimlessly than working...
The four people are divided into two teams.
Under the guise of collecting information, I started asking locals if there were any famous legends about monsters nearby.
Chen Lusi here.
Most locals don't like Chen Lusi and Wu You very much. After all, the two grown men don't want to buy anything and just chat with each other.
Who wants to waste time?
But...Wu You is really good at talking.
Even if the other party is wary at first, they will soon lose themselves and start talking nonsense amidst Wu You's "brother", "handsome boy" and "smoking this".
Chen Lusi originally planned to help in his native dialect.
After all, his hometown is not far from Wu Cha Town, and the language is the same.
Later I found out that it was not necessary at all.
He simply stopped talking and just followed Wu You and listened to his talk.
One afternoon.
Wu You talked from the street to the end of the street.
Chen Lusi listened to several versions of legendary stories about monsters, which was an eye-opener.
"...How about it? Do you regret following me as an uncle?"
The orange setting sun shone on the two of them.
Wu You came out of the shop, lit a cigarette, and asked with a smile.
"No, it's quite interesting."
Chen Lusi shook his head: "There is no regret."
When we first started to divide into teams.
Wu You, a fun-loving person, really wanted Xia Panqiu and Chen Lusi to be together, but Xia Panqiu gave him a sharp look.
"Okay."
Wu You was a little disappointed, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and continued to ask: "What kind of ghost do you think we will encounter? After listening to it for so long, you should have thoughts, right?"
"Um……"
Chen Lu thought for a while and replied: "Stone-thrower, I have listened to three versions along the way."
"I think so too...but it's not necessarily true, this thing is very metaphysical." Wu You said with a smile.
Stone thrower.
This seems to be a very famous ghost story in the local area.
The story is not complicated.
It is said.
There is a bridge on the way from the Wucha Town Market to a nearby village called Shie Egg.
In the past, there lived a homeless man under the bridge. He stayed up day and night every day, and always appeared on the bridge at twelve o'clock. He didn't know what he was doing.
Later the tramp died.
He died on the bridge in a very miserable manner.
It is said that he was forced to death by eating rocks.
After his death, everyone said that when he appeared on the bridge in the middle of the night, he was actually playing a game with ghosts. Every time he lost, he would eat stones. If he lost, he would eat stones. If he lost, he would die of stress.
After his death, he was actually still playing games with ghosts. If you see him passing by the Stone Arch Bridge in the middle of the night, you must not say "I want to play", otherwise he will drag you to play...
But most people scoff at this.
Until one day, three nearby students secretly went to a black Internet cafe to surf the Internet.
And the three students happened to be passing by the bridge at twelve o'clock... and happened to see the homeless man.
Under the moonlight, the homeless man with disheveled hair squatted beside the railing, throwing stones, and kept muttering: 'Fun, fun, fun'.
This weird scene.
The three students were all scared, but they didn't want to embarrass themselves in front of their friends, so they could only cover up their inner fears by talking loudly.
As they talked, the three students talked about what they would play all night tonight.
When the homeless man who had been squatting heard the words "I want to play", he suddenly raised his head and suddenly went crazy. He screamed and rushed towards the three students, throwing stones at them while tearing his heart out.
Fei said: "Don't play! Don't play! Don't play!"
The three students had never seen such a battle before. They were frightened and ran away immediately without caring about their dignity.
No longer connected to the Internet, we ran back to one of the students' houses and hid under the covers.
After going through three stages of tension, yelling, and laughing at each other.
The three of them were also tired and planned to go to bed.
But one of the students was in a daze, and when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly vaguely heard "fun, fun, fun" again...
A sudden jolt.
He woke up.
Then, he found that he was not in bed.
Instead, it was deep in the mountains and old forests, surrounded by darkness.
He and two friends were sitting around the grave, throwing stones in their hands.
With the help of the moonlight, he could clearly see that his two friends were looking directly at him with white eyes.
While watching, he said: 'It's fun, it's fun, it's fun, it's fun...'
then.
The man was frightened to death.
Um.
A standard nonsense ghost story.
Chen Lusi even suspected that it was a joke made up by parents to prevent their children from going online at night.
"Do you think it's made up?"
Wu You saw Chen Lusi's expression and asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Chen Lusi nodded.
"Actually, most of the legends about monsters are made up...but don't underestimate the power of public opinion, especially in this less developed area."
Wu You stretched out: "And this kind of ghost story is quite annoying when it comes to life."
"Understood."
Chen Lusi had no say in this and could only respond.
"But don't worry, I will protect you, Brother Xin."
Wu You's serious look didn't last long. Soon he was sitting on the steps and continued talking: "I have experienced many battles. I have never seen any scenes. This kind of scary ghost story, small scene."
"That's good."
Chen Lusi chatted with Wu You every now and then.
About ten minutes later.
Xia Panqiu and Li Tian appeared in sight.
Wu You and Xia Panqiu had a brief exchange, and finally the two of them reached an agreement to deal with it first as the 'stone thrower'.
I'll go squat on the bridge at twelve o'clock tonight.
The four of them had a casual meal, then found a hotel and booked three rooms.
But when they stayed at the camp, Wu You and Xia Panqiu did not take them with them.
The reason given by Wu You is that this time they are just familiar with the process and there is no need for them to take risks.
Chen Lusi and Li Tian had no reason to object and could only stay in the room.
Eleven o'clock at midnight.
Watch the two of them go out.
