Chapter 5

Dudu's cry was not loud, but it suppressed the female ghost's laughter perfectly. Soon, only the donkey's braying remained in the empty manor, and the waves were higher than the waves. The disturbing cries sounded like the sound of nature at this moment, which was reassuring.

"Brother Lu," Tengyao fell to the ground with a heavy heart, and a bright smile appeared on his tense face, "It's great that you and Dudu are fine."

Then he pointed at the female ghost with high spirits: "Now we are three against one, if you have the guts, come here."

The female ghost's white eyes gradually turned red, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down, making her horrific face even more pervasive.

Teng Yao stared at her all the time, and stretched his sleeves with both hands to make the rain-soaked clothes lighter, making final preparations for taking the lead.However, before he could rush out, he was drenched in the cold.Teng Yao subconsciously shrunk his neck and looked up, the umbrella above his head was gone, and then saw Lu Yuan slowly walking towards the female ghost with the umbrella.

Teng Yao was startled at first, then calmed down, his gaze involuntarily shifted to Lu Yuan's lower body - the black suit trousers gently scraped the weeds that had been baptized several times by the rainstorm, as expected, it was not contaminated by the rain, and he walked on the grass But there was no sound.Teng Yao suddenly became nervous, could it be that Lu Yuan and the female ghost are together?Didn't the three-on-one situation become one-on-three?

This thought was fleeting, because he clearly saw the emotion called fear on the female ghost's face, Lu Yuan walked towards the female ghost so unhurriedly, without any unnecessary movements, Teng Yao couldn't see him However, judging from the short encounter tonight, Lu Yuan must be expressionless at this time.

It was such a man that made the female ghost tremble, and the threat from her throat sounded more like begging for mercy now.

Teng Yao's heart was raised again, if Lu Yuan beat the female ghost violently, should he applaud or go up to persuade him?

After hesitating for a moment, the scene in front of Teng Yao's eyes suddenly changed. The wildly growing weeds in the middle of the yard retreated into the ground, leaving only a short green stubble.The rain was still falling, but Lu Yuan and the female ghost disappeared. Teng Yao turned around twice, and the wild building was still the same, but not as dilapidated as when we first saw it.

What is the situation? Could it be that what I saw just now was an illusion?

Teng Yao drew a big question mark in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the swimming pool in his memory.

Without the cover of weeds, the location of the swimming pool was clear at a glance. Teng Yao was worried that the female ghost was hiding below, so he didn't dare to approach rashly, and took every step with extra care.Only a few meters away from the edge of the pool, Teng Yao saw a dark object moving back and forth at the bottom of the pool, so frightened that he immediately stopped his feet and held his breath, making sure that the other party didn't find him, so he walked towards the pool more cautiously.

Getting closer, Teng Yao finally saw a person standing at the bottom of the pool. The well-attached tiles in the middle of the pool bottom were lifted up to an area of ​​one meter square. .

Teng Yao looked curiously, the man was obviously burying something at the bottom of the swimming pool, judging from the amount of soil piled up beside it that could not be filled back, the man buried it was still a big one.The man quickly restored the swimming pool to its original state, and then moved the remaining soil to the ground with sacks, without even looking at Tengyao's side during the whole process.Teng Yao tentatively waved his arms in front of the man, but the man remained unmoved, continued his work with a sullen head, filling the soil dug out of the swimming pool into every corner of the backyard.

The same scene with different characters, could it be that they have time-traveled by themselves, or are they soul-wearing and invisible to others?Or maybe he is already dead, and he is just a wandering soul at this moment, so that person can't see it?

While Tengyao was thinking wildly, the man finished his aftermath and sneaked away.The wild building returned to silence, only the continuous sound of the rain hitting the ground seemed to make people get lost in this corner of the world.

who I am?where am i?What am I going to do?

Teng Yao asked himself these three questions repeatedly in his mind, and it took him a long time to wake up suddenly. He remembered that the man carried out a sack of soil, which was about the same size as an adult woman in terms of size.

Could it be the female ghost who buried the person in the swimming pool?

The shovel was taken away by the man, Teng Yao broke off two thick branches, jumped into the pool and started digging.

The rain became heavier, and the bean-sized raindrops hit Teng Yao's body painfully. Teng Yao didn't care about it. He wiped the rainwater off his face with his arms, and dug the soil under the tiles more quickly.Suddenly, the branch touched something, Teng Yao threw away the branch and started digging with his hands, first the hair and then the head, the secret that the man kept hiding underground finally came to light.

Teng Yao held his breath in his chest, unable to go up or down, he trembled with his fingers whitened by the water, and wiped off the mud on the woman's face that was exposed to the ground.

The woman suddenly opened her eyes, only the whites of the eyes were in the eye sockets, the whites of the eyes were too big.She smiled strangely at Teng Yao, the laughter was enough to tear people's liver and gallbladder apart.

Teng Yao gasped for air, but was choked by the cold rain pouring into his mouth, and coughed violently, so that he had to bend down and curl up into a shrimp.

A warm palm landed on his back and patted lightly, and an unfamiliar voice sounded above his head: "Are you okay?"

Teng Yao suppressed his cough, raised his face with difficulty, and faced Lu Yuan's deep pool-like eyes. Teng Yao, who has always been good at reading people, could not understand the emotions contained in them, but he got great inspiration from these eyes. Peace of mind, save him from the great shock and fear.

Lu Yuan helped him up, only then did Tengyao realize that the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds again, and he was not in the swimming pool, but was still standing where he was before.

Teng Yao was a little weak, he stubbornly refused to let Lu Yuan continue to support him, looked around, and asked, "Then, where is that woman?"

Lu Yuan pointed to the swimming pool: "Hiding inside."

Tenyao looked over, and saw a small black object dangling by the pool, it was Dudu.Dudu fluttered its wings and looked down with its small head. After a while, it turned around in disappointment and ran towards Lu Yuan staggeringly.

"Let's go back to the house first." Lu Yuan took two steps back before realizing that Teng Yao hadn't followed, so he couldn't help but stop and look at him.

Teng Yao was drenched by the rain again, he wiped his face and asked, "What about that woman?"

Lu Yuan replied flatly: "She can't leave this yard, let her live here temporarily."

"Live here?" Ten Yao was taken aback by his words, "She doesn't seem to be human, you live in the same yard with her, aren't you afraid?"

Lu Yuan didn't answer, just looked at him straight.

Teng Yao consciously shut up, that's a man who walks in rainy days without getting his trousers wet, so he's just guessing.

Seeing Teng Yao following up, Lu Yuan walked up to Laobie, grabbed Laobie's arm and picked him up like a big bag.

Teng Yao was speechless, no matter how skinny the old turtle was, he was still a man weighing more than a hundred pounds, and Lu Yuan's strength was frightening.

After returning to the villa, Teng Yao couldn't bear to sit on the sofa, so he simply lay down on the spot, panting heavily.When Lu Yuan took out a new bath towel, he saw Teng Yao lying on the ground dying, looking miserable, as if he had just been abused.

Lu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry: "I boiled hot water, you can wash it later."

He handed the bath towel to Tengyao, but Tengyao didn't bother to wipe it, and covered his face with the white bath towel, announcing that he was officially dead.

Teng Yao was dragged into the bathroom by Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan stuffed him into the bathtub, turned on the hot water and poured it on his head.Teng Yao played the role of the corpse dutifully, without any struggle from the beginning to the end.

Dudu scratched the edge of the bathtub, watching him take over his water playground, humming angrily.

Ten Yao lifted one eyelid, and licked the corner of his mouth.

Dudu quickly hid behind Lu Yuan's legs, screaming strangely—bad guy!

Teng Yao smirked and closed his eyes, lying on his back in the bathtub, letting the warm water wrap his whole body.Tonight, he has reached his limit no matter his physical strength or energy, especially the scene he saw when it seemed like an illusion made his heart palpitate even more. When he closed his eyes, the woman who was buried upright in the soil would appear in his mind .Yes, the woman was buried vertically in the swimming pool, so the person who buried her only pried off a few tiles, and it would not be easy for anyone to see the clues after they were restored to their original state.

He went to recall the person who buried her, although it was dark and rainy at night, he still saw the appearance of that person clearly.

He suddenly opened his eyes and asked Lu Yuan who was still helping him put the hot water: "Brother Lu, do you have any paper and pen here?"

Lu Yuan took out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket and handed it to him, with a very textured pen pinned to it.

Teng Yao took it and remembered that he was soaking in the water, and hurriedly handed it back: "Give it to you first, don't get wet."

Lu Yuan didn't even look at it, and said casually, "The ink and notebook are both waterproof, so you can use them with confidence."

Are rich people so advanced with pen and paper?Teng Yao's heart was screaming. He tentatively opened the book, but his wet fingers did not leave any marks on the inner pages.He took off the pen, and the heavy feel gave him a sense of reality. He closed his eyes and quickly drew it according to the image in his mind.Soon, a sketch of a human face took shape.

Teng Yao took the notebook to look at it from a distance, then turned to Lu Yuan: "Brother Lu, do you look like it?"

Lu Yuan glanced at it, and there was a man in his early twenties drawn on the notebook. His appearance was nothing special, and he belonged to the type that he couldn't remember even after a few more glances.

He hesitated, "Like...who?"

"The man who buried the earth just now," Tengyao paused, and looked at Lu Yuan in surprise, "You didn't see anything just now, did you?"

Lu Yuan pursed his lips and nodded honestly.

Teng Yao was startled: "Tell me first, what happened after you walked towards that woman?"

Lu Yuan pursed his lips even tighter. He looked at Teng Yao helplessly, and said, "You fell down before I walked over." At that time, there was a thud behind him, and he thought that the female ghost had something to hide. Helper, kill Tengyao while he is not prepared.

Teng Yao was silent, he looked at the portrait in the notebook, every detail of the man's face was vivid in his memory, if it was his hallucination, it would be too real.He turned the page of the book and continued to draw, this time he drew the woman buried at the bottom of the swimming pool.After the painting was finished, he handed it to Lu Yuan again.

"Where is this woman, you haven't seen it, have you?"

Lu Yuan answered affirmatively this time: "This is the woman who confronted you in the backyard."

Teng Yao breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's not all he imagined, if that's the case, he should go see a psychiatrist.

"Ah-oh-oh!"

Dudu's cry interrupted their conversation, and they both looked over at the same time, and saw Dudu standing by the bathtub thumping his feet, making the sound of splashing water, and they saw that the water in the bathtub had already It spread to the ground, and half of Lu Yuan's pants, who was standing next to the bathtub, stuck to his legs, so thoroughly wet.

"Sorry, I'm going to change clothes first." Lu Yuan turned off the switch calmly, left the bathroom with Dudu, and closed the door intimately.

Tengyao lay on the edge of the bathtub, suddenly smiled: "I thought rich people even had waterproof pants."

Turns out the pants aren't waterproof, so why aren't the pants wet on the outside?
