Raising Gu Notes

(Chapter 2 to.)

Xie Lin couldn't help being a little surprised when he found that the RIFAs had disappeared suddenly. You must know that before he took the plastic bag from Aunt Zhang, those RIFAs were still on the ground, so it was only a few seconds. Over time, these white gold ants disappeared inexplicably, as if they disappeared suddenly.

Xie Lin also trembled slightly in his heart, and quickly turned his head to look around the ground, but he still didn't see those white-headed fire ants.

Aunt Zhang noticed Xie Lin's expression was different, so she couldn't help asking: "Xiao Xie, what's the matter, are you looking for something?"

Xie Lin was stunned, then quickly shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's nothing. By the way, Auntie, tell Uncle Liu for me that the lime is no longer needed."

After speaking, he returned the broom to Aunt Zhang, took off the plastic bag on his feet, and ran away in a hurry.

Auntie Zhang was left at a loss, wondering why Xie Lin behaved so strangely.

After Xie Lin ran away, he didn't go to the cafeteria, but wandered around, wanting to see if there were any suspicious people around.

It's just that Xie Lin walked around the No. [-] building where he lived and the No. [-] building opposite. Except for a few young students, he didn't encounter any suspicious people.

Xie Lin had no choice but to give up, turned around and walked towards the cafeteria.

When Shan Xielin passed the boiling water room behind the cafeteria and was about to go around to the front of the cafeteria, he stopped suddenly.

Between the boiling water room and the building where the cafeteria is located, stood a strange man, with his back to Xie Lin, wearing a black robe-like clothes.

The clothes didn't look like a suit or a windbreaker, but no matter what the clothes were, wearing such a long coat in this hot summer was really abnormal.

Because the boiling water room and the cafeteria happened to block the light from the street lamps, and it was dark in the middle, Xie Lin couldn't see the appearance of this strange man clearly, and he couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman. He could only vaguely see that he was thinner and He is taller, and he wears that wide gown, as if a long garment is hung on a clothesline

A gust of wind blew by, and the long gown on the man's body fluttered violently with the wind, driving the man to shake non-stop. In Xie Lin's eyes, the man seemed so thin that he would be blown away by the wind at any moment. .

Xie Lin looked at it for a while, but the man stood there quietly, not moving.Only when the wind blows, his body will be swayed by the gown, but at other times he is really like a scarecrow.

However, Xie Lin was sure that this was definitely not a scarecrow, because almost every morning, Xie Lin would come to the boiling water room with a boiling water bottle, leave the boiling water bottle in the boiling water room first, then go to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and wait until night from the library. After returning, he went to the boiling water room to fill the water bottle with water, and then went back to the dormitory. Although Xie Lin happened not to have boiled water yesterday, but out of habit, whether he went to the cafeteria in the morning or returned to the dormitory at night, he walked at the same pace. It was this road, and he had never seen any scarecrows here.

Besides, who would be so bored to set up a scarecrow in a place like this?

Could it be that this person attracted those white-headed fire ants just now?Is this person the mysterious Gu master mentioned in that notebook?

Xie Lin secretly guessed in his heart, also guessing what this person is doing now?He wanted to take a closer look, but hesitated a bit, thinking that if he saw something he shouldn't have seen, or if he violated some taboo and angered this strange person, would he get himself into trouble?

But after thinking about it, he coughed on purpose and walked up to the man.First of all, he was also out of curiosity, thinking that if this person is really a Gu Master, if he doesn't mind, he can ask him some questions. That notebook has been with him for so many years, but it has left him with many doubts. Whether it's the origin of the notebook itself, or the inexplicably failed cases of Gu raising recorded in the notebook; secondly, Xie Lin also thought about Aunt Zhang and the others, thinking that if those white-headed red fire ants were really attracted by this person just now, they would be better off. Remind this person that he cannot do such a thing in the future, so as not to harm others by mistake.

And the reason why he coughed on purpose was naturally to remind the weirdo that he was going to pass now, lest the weirdo might have any misunderstandings.

Schelling also deliberately stepped on the grass, stepping on it loudly. Of course, on the other hand, he also wanted to embolden himself.

In the silent night, his footsteps were very loud, like soldiers walking around.

But the person in front seemed to have no reaction, still stood there with his back to Xie Lin, motionless.

After Xie Lin walked a few steps, he couldn't help but stop, thinking that the man didn't notice him.

However, thinking that unless the other party was deaf, otherwise the other party would never fail to notice such a big movement of his own, so he continued to walk forward.

At this time, the man seemed to have finally discovered Xie Lin who was approaching him, and finally moved, but he bent down slowly, as if he wanted to pick up something from the ground.

It's just that his movements are very, very slow. It looks like the slow motion in a movie, and it seems that this person's body is frozen. Unfortunately, it is a dog day. Even at night, it is still very hot. Does not make people feel cold.

But for some reason, perhaps affected by this person's movements, Xie Lin's movements involuntarily slowed down, and the footsteps also became lighter. Even when the evening wind blew, Xie Lin suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling. coolness.

Xie Lin couldn't help but stopped again, took a few deep breaths in secret, and calmed down his nervous mind, but now that he was getting closer, he could see more clearly, and found that this person was still wearing a mask. The hat, the hat is attached to his long coat, it should be the kind of hoodie, because of this, the man looks taller.

Xie Lin then waved at the man, and continued to walk up, pretending to be relaxed in his mouth: "Student, are you looking for something?"

The man straightened up slowly, spit out a long mouth, and suddenly said: "I can't find my baby, do you know where it is?"

His voice was hoarse and cold, without any emotion, like a machine.

But his people still turned their backs to Schelling and did not turn around.

"Baby, what baby?" Xie Lin wondered.

"I can't find it, I can't find it..." The man suddenly murmured softly, and slowly bent down again.

"Can you tell me what you're looking for?" Schelling couldn't help asking.

The man slowly straightened up again, and then slowly turned around.

But there was almost nothing under the hood, no head or face!

Subconsciously wondering what this person looked like, Xie Lin couldn't help but froze and stood there.

The man turned around slowly again, and then walked forward slowly, mumbling again in his mouth: "Where is my baby, I can't find it, I can't find it Yes, baby, my baby..."

The voice was hoarse and cold, echoing softly in the night without resting for a long time.

Although the man walked slowly, there was no movement under his feet, but his body moved forward slowly, with almost no swaying. In Xie Lin's eyes, this man did not seem to be walking, but more like floating slowly. of.

ghost?

Xie Lin, who never believed in ghosts, couldn't help but murmured in his heart.

But when Xie Lin came back to his senses, the man turned around the corner and disappeared.

In a panic, Xie Lin quickly chased after him, regardless of fear.

He just turned around the corner and came to the right side of the cafeteria, but he still didn't see the figure of the strange man, it seemed that the strange man had gone away.

Xie Lin couldn't help being a little surprised, because according to the speed of that weird man, it was impossible to walk so fast.

Strangely, he walked quickly around the cafeteria again, even went back to the grass between the boiling water room and the cafeteria, and checked carefully, but still did not see the strange man.

It seemed that the strange man also disappeared suddenly.

Xie Lin stayed in front of the cafeteria for a long time, but finally couldn't figure out why, so he could only smile helplessly and walked into the cafeteria.

Although the cafeteria is still open, there are very few vegetables left, like leftovers left over from other people's food.

But Xie Lin didn't care. He bought two steamed buns, and scooped up a free bowl of seaweed soup from the iron bucket next to him. Go to your own dormitory.

When he came to the No. [-] dormitory building, Xie Lin found that there were many students surrounded by the entrance of the building.

Could it be that the white-headed fire ants appeared again?Schelling walked up quickly.

But after getting closer, he accidentally heard Aunt Zhang moaning.He hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and found that Aunt Zhang was sitting on the ground, holding her right leg tightly with both hands, moaning from time to time, with a painful look on her face.

And the sole of her right foot was swollen like a steamed bun. The original flat sole looked almost round, and the instep was bright red and translucent, but there were small white dots on it. , like white paint accidentally spilled on it, very vivid.
