I Can Rewind Chapter 240: A woman with a lantern (3) (4,000 words)
At the moment when he faced the woman holding the red lantern, Yan Junze didn't express anything, just stared at her without saying a word.
The lantern girl also looked directly at Yan Junze, but in the next second, she opened her mouth and asked a series of questions, and her voice was extremely strange.
"Have you seen...my husband?"
The pronunciation of the first four words of this sentence is normal. When she said "my", the voice of Lantern Girl suddenly became hoarse and rough, and when she finished saying the last word "do", The voice had completely changed, like the roar of a burly man in a rage.
Since then, Yan Junze could clearly feel that his hair was blown back by a gust of wind, his clothes rattled, his eyes blurred, and he couldn't see anything at this moment.
Crack!
The next second, five fingers pressed on his head.
"Rewind."
This time, Yan Junze returned directly to the moment before he entered the ditch. He stood in the plum forest, looking at the winding ditch in front of him, not going down any further.
Anyway, Lantern Girl is still squatting in the middle of the ditch, pawing at the yellowed skull with both hands, as long as Yan Junze goes through the ditch, she will always meet her and stop him at the necessary place.
And I don't know what changed after each retracement. In the previous retracement, the direction of things changed, and the lantern girl became a red lantern ahead of time.
If he still enters the ditch this time, Yan Junze has an intuition that there is a high probability that he will still be intercepted by her, and her red lantern state will still be triggered.
So, he found a comfortable place without moonlight, sat down, and began to wait quietly.
Now it takes about half an hour to make a moon umbrella out of tree branches, and if Yan Junze's estimation is correct, in about ten minutes, Lantern Girl will return to Meilin along this river ditch.
Sure enough, after waiting for about 12 minutes, a white figure appeared in the ditch with a lantern in hand, only the upper body could be seen, but soon all appeared under Yan Junze's eyes.
Yan Junze first noticed the white lantern in her hand, and felt relieved a little. Lantern Girl's walking posture was very elegant, and her long skirt swayed gently with her steps, without any dirt.
After waiting for a while, Lantern Girl had completely walked to the bottom of the ditch on the side of Meilin. If it was Yan Junze, he would have climbed up with hands and feet at this time, and it took some effort to climb out of the ditch.
But the Lantern Girl was not like this, but she walked up step by step, leaning her body but not falling down, standing on the top of the river ditch for a while, and then walked into the plum forest.
Yan Junze had already stood up, he did not hide himself, but stood in front of Lantern Girl openly, and when she approached, he said, "Maybe I can help you find your husband."
When Lantern Girl saw a person, she was prepared to ask the first question like a conditioned reflex, but she didn't know that the other person spoke directly, and cut to the point as soon as she spoke, her eyes lit up slightly, and she walked over quickly: "Really Is it?"
"Of course it is true." Yan Junze nodded, "But I need to know some information, you must answer me truthfully, otherwise I can't guarantee that I will find your husband."
The Lantern Girl hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Well, good, as long as you can find a husband, please tell me."
So the opening statement is very important.
When he spoke, Yan Junze had been observing the lantern in the woman's hand. The lantern was always white, and the light was not too bright, which showed that the woman's mood was very stable at present.
A good opening statement occupies half of the chance of whether the task can be successfully completed.
At this moment, Yan Junze gained some confidence, and continued: "May I ask if your family lives near here, and where does it live?"
The Lantern Girl nodded: "My husband and I live in Mojia Village, but we are outsiders, and we have lived in Mojia Village for... well, four years."
"Where do you live?" Yan Junze asked.
The Lantern Girl pointed to the forest.
"Can you take me there?" Yan Junze asked.
The Lantern Girl nodded and led the way ahead, because the Merlin itself was very small, and it took about ten minutes to pass through it quickly, so the two quickly entered the center of the Merlin.
Yan Junze looked around, but there was nothing, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.
"I live here." Lantern Girl walked to a place that looked a little flat, and stood motionless.
Yan Junze took a closer look and felt that if a house could be built on this flat land, it would not be impossible. Maybe Lantern Girl and her husband really lived here before, but now things have changed, and the house has long since disappeared.
If you are here, you will definitely not be able to find the whereabouts of her husband.
Yan Junze thought for a while and asked, "Does your husband have any friends in the village, and which one do you usually like to visit?"
"Sanggong, he concentrates on studying, just to prepare for the provincial examination. He doesn't do anything at home, and he doesn't have many friends." Lantern girl shook her head, "However, if he gets tired of studying, he will go to Mo Zhengping's house in the west to teach Mo Zhengping's two children read books."
"Mo Zhengping, where do you live?" Yan Junze frowned and asked.
The Lantern Girl turned around and walked towards the river ditch just now. After a while, the two came to the river ditch.
The Lantern Girl pointed to the house in front of her: "That's Mo Zhengping's house."
"Perhaps... we should go and have a look." Yan Junze reminded, "You have been searching around this Meilin and Meilin, no wonder you can't find your husband, maybe he has been at Mo Zhengping's house all along?"
The Lantern Girl was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Well, I should go and have a look."
"I'll go with you, but it seems to be closer from the river ditch."
After saying that, Yan Junze first jumped down the ditch and walked forward.
The Lantern Girl didn't hesitate, and followed Yan Junze down the ditch.
"Fuck, that guy led Lantern Girl into the ditch, didn't he come this way?"
In Mo Zhengping's old house, Zhang Xiaomo, Zhang Di, Fang Zun, and Yuan Dingzhou huddled together, and they all gathered at the window facing Mei Lin to look out.
The fog is much thinner tonight, and the moonlight is abundant, resulting in excellent visibility.
Just now they saw the Lantern Girl walking out of the ditch, and then met a man, and then the two disappeared in the Merlin.
But after a while, the two reappeared, and then pointed in this direction, and finally jumped down the ditch one after the other, without seeing the figure.
The four people in the room had every reason to suspect that the silly pen who looked like a man was bringing Lantern Girl to them.
"Who is that guy? He doesn't look like someone from our side. It's fine to die alone, why bring everyone into the fire pit?" Yuan Dingzhou looked confused.
"And this guy seems to have a good chat with Lantern Girl!" Zhang Di also said.
"Something's wrong." Fang Zun stood up, leaned against the window, and tried to open his eyes wide. "If they really come here, this is not a place to stay for a long time."
"Yes." Zhang Xiaomo nodded, "We have to find a way to go to Jiang Yaofei's side, otherwise we will not only keep losing contact with Jiang Yaofei, but now this place will become very dangerous."
After speaking, the views of the four people were surprisingly consistent. Yuan Dingzhou walked to the door, gently pushed the door open, and poked his head out to look left and right.
Zhang Xiaomo looked at the spirit detector in his hand.
The spirit detector shows that there are 11 weird places nearby, but they all seem to be ordinary weird, and there is a certain chance that the spirit detector will not be able to detect some weird or too high-level weirdness.
As for the weirdness detected by these detections, everyone was not afraid at all, so in just a moment, the four of them walked out of Mo Zhengping's old house one after another.
On the way, if you see an ordinary monster that is close to each other, without making too much noise, two or three people will swarm up and strike with a few magnetic knives, instantly crushing the weird magnetic field.
They only know the location of Jiang Yaofei roughly, but they don't know which house they are in. At this moment, the information signal can't reach anything, so they can only look for it.
Soon the four of them completely left the range of Mo Zhengping's old house, and got closer and closer to a slightly spacious farmhouse where Jiang Yaofei was.
At this moment, Fang Zun, who was walking in front, gave a sudden pause, his back swung slightly behind him, and then squatted down.
Seeing this, the others immediately squatted down, staring at the front without moving.
In the middle of the not-so-wide street ahead, four men in black stood there with indifferent expressions. All four of them maintained the same movements, carrying a small red coffin.
This coffin may be slightly smaller than half of a normal coffin, but it seems to be very heavy. At first glance, the red coffin should be able to fit a child's corpse.
I don't know why, after seeing this scene, the four spirit eliminators suddenly didn't even dare to vent their breath. Discover yourself.
Zhang Xiaomo looked away from the spirit detector, looked at Zhang Di who was watching her, and then shook her head.
There is no display, there is no display of the four weird black clothes in front of me in the spirit detector, and there is no display in the red coffin.
It seems that the weirdness standing in front of me doesn't exist at all.
But Zhang Xiaomo knows very well that this kind of situation is the most terrifying.
No wonder Jiang Yaofei and the others never came to look for his team, they were all trapped here. Now our own thinking should be the same as that of Jiang Yaofei and the others. As long as the coffin bearer is not disturbed, it is a wise choice to find a place to hide first.
But fortunately, none of the spirits around the coffin bearer dared to wander around.
Yuan Dingzhou pointed to the nearest brick house, and several people immediately nodded, squatting on the ground without saying a word, quickly crawled towards the brick house, and got in through the half-open door.
Then everyone was stunned for a moment, and found that there were many books and tomes in it.
Looking up, there is a very simple plaque on it, with the words "Liangde Study" vaguely written on it.
Soon Zhang Di found a movable window in the middle of the two old bookcases, and gently pushed it open, just in time to see the direction of Mo Zhengping's house.
In the ditch.
Yan Junze began to walk faster, but no matter how fast he walked, the Lantern Girl behind him still followed behind him in a leisurely manner.
Yan Junze glanced back from time to time, he was not looking at the lantern girl, but was paying attention to the color of the lantern.
Soon to the end of the ditch, Yan Junze climbed up with both hands and feet. Looking back, Lantern Girl was already following behind him.
"Here." Lantern Girl pointed to the house in front of her eyes, "This is Mo Zhengping's home. My husband-in-law often comes here to teach his two children."
Yan Junze nodded, pushed the door open and walked in.
He is not afraid that there will be any weird things in this room, because even if there are weird things, they are not as powerful as Lantern Girl.
And if she is really stronger than Lantern Girl, Lantern Girl will not dare to follow.
Of course, if the weirdnesses encountered by both parties are the same, it is a lottery win.
The lantern girl also followed behind Yan Junze, and quickly turned around the not-so-large house.
Nothing.
Based on Yan Junze's eyesight, he is not a detective, nor can he see any traces of living people's activities here.
"Can you feel your husband?" Yan Junze turned around and asked.
The lantern girl shook her head.
At this moment, Yan Junze noticed that the flames in the lantern she was carrying started to light up.
"Fuck, it's about to start again." Yan Junze was taken aback.
This is the first place I'm looking for. I didn't see her husband-in-law. I didn't expect this woman to have such a weird temper. If I didn't see her once, she was going to get mad right away?
"Calm down first!"
"Where is my husband-in-law?" The lantern girl's tone became cold~IndoMTL.com~ Instead of calming down, the fire in the lantern began to gradually become fiery red.
"Calm down, think about it carefully, maybe we can find your husband." Yan Junze said.
"Are you kidding me?"
Boom!
The white lantern carried by the Lantern Girl turned completely red at this moment, and at close range, Yan Junze immediately witnessed the woman's facial features being elongated with the red light, and instantly looked like a monster. Ferocious and terrifying.
Rewind!
Yan Junze and the lantern girl carrying a white lantern walked outside Mo Zhengping's house and stopped.
"Perhaps, we don't need to go in and look for it." Yan Junze said suddenly.
The lantern girl raised her head and looked at him without speaking.
Now Yan Junze will definitely not choose to go into the house again, he must think of the next solution.
"Because, I feel that your husband will not be here." Yan Junze continued: "He left after quarreling with you, and he is not in the mood to teach and educate people at this time. Does he usually like to find someone? A place for people to relax or something?"
The Lantern Girl thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "When he is unhappy, he likes to stay with the book and doesn't like to go out."
"Books?" Yan Junze was taken aback, "Where are the most books in this village?"
"It's over there." Lantern Girl pointed to a street not far away, "All the books donated by the village teacher Mo Liangde in the past are in Liangde's Study Room."
"The books at that time must have turned into dust, unless they were bamboo slips." Yan Junze guessed secretly, and said, "Then let's go and have a look."
"Aren't you going to visit Mo Zhengping's house?" Lantern Girl asked.
"No more, trust me, your husband is probably in Liangde's study." Yan Junze was categorical.
