Chapter 112 Late Night Sleepwalking
Axia was sitting on the steps. She seemed to be enjoying the sunshine, she seemed to hear my footsteps, she turned her head slightly, and looked at me with dull eyes.

"Axia, why don't you go talk to my sister." I greeted.

"I often feel cold at night, and I feel much more comfortable in the sun." Axia smiled and stood up holding the bamboo pole.

"Give me your wrist." I looked at the other person's face and saw nothing unusual.

Axia hesitated and stretched out her wrist, not understanding what I was going to do.

I bit my fingertips and put my hand on Ah Xia's wrist. This is not the way of TCM pulse detection. In our Xiangmen, this technique is called throwing stones to ask for directions.

If there are evil spirits hidden in the opponent's body, and they are stimulated by the blood of pure yang, there will definitely be abnormal movements.

Axia's face was a little uneasy, and she asked, "Xiaomo said you are a physiognomist, do you still know how to check the pulse?"

I withdrew my hand, a trace of doubt flashed in my eyes, and explained to the other party, "This is not a pulse diagnosis, where is your father?"

Through the contact just now, I didn't see any signs of Axia being possessed by evil spirits. Could it be that the other party really has sleepwalking?I decided to put this matter aside first, and ask Old Li to ask about the lunatic.

"Clean up the pig houses over there." Axia pointed to the two pig houses on the side.

"Uncle Li, I want to ask you something." I strode over.

"Mr. Zhang is back, wait a moment." Old Li was busy, and after a while, he came out with a shovel and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Is there a lunatic in the village?" I briefly described the lunatic's appearance.

"He, he used to be a bum, and I heard that he was taking drugs, and then he went crazy for no reason." Old Li put the shovel by the wall.

"How about it? I went out for a stroll, did you find anything?" Lang Ying walked over from behind.

"I'm afraid I'll scare you if I say it, what about Xiaomo?" I thought of the cellar covered with human skins, so I decided not to say anything, so as not to cause panic in the village.

"Do you think I was frightened?" Lang Ying disapproved, then pointed to the room, "Xiaomo is in the room looking at her mobile phone."

This village is full of weirdness, I have a lot of clues, I don't know where to start, so I decided to deal with Xiaomo's ghost first.

"Come over and help me later." I whispered to Lang Ying.

"Okay, I'm bored at leisure." Lang Ying looked bored.

"Xiaomo!" I yelled loudly, but the room was quiet and there was no response. I walked in and turned my head to look around, "Hey, what about her, didn't you say she was looking at her phone in the room?"

"Are you still here just now?" Lang Ying walked into the backyard suspiciously.

"Auntie, have you seen Xiaomo?" I came to the backyard, and Xiaomo's mother was washing the dishes in the kitchen.

"Isn't that girl in the front room? I didn't see her coming." Xiaomo's mother put down the rag, with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Strange, we were at the door just now, why did she disappear?" Lang Ying said very puzzled.

"This girl was playful since she was a child, maybe she went to find friends in the village again." Xiaomo's mother didn't care, and continued to bend over to wash the dishes.

I think there is something wrong with this matter, but the family members of the other party are not in a hurry, and I can't say anything more as an outsider.

After it got dark, Xiaomo disappeared and the phone couldn't get through, so Xiaomo's family was in a hurry.

"Where did Xiaomo go?" Old Li rubbed his hands, walking back and forth.

"Ah Xia, you have been sitting at the door, did you hear Xiao Mo go out?" Xiao Mo's mother asked her eldest daughter.

"No, I heard her chatting on WeChat in the room before." Axia looked confused.

"Hey, aren't you a physicist? If you can pinch and count, quickly find Xiaomo." Lang Ying said in a low voice.

"You've watched too many TV shows, I don't have that ability." I responded in a low voice.

Suddenly, Xiaomo's mother pulled Lao Li's clothes, and secretly pointed at her eldest daughter, Axia.

Old Li's face changed, as if he remembered something, looked at the sky outside, and walked towards Axia.

I noticed the small movements over there, and I was a little puzzled. I stood aside without saying a word, wanting to see what Old Li was going to do.

"Axia, maybe Xiaomo has gone to play somewhere, you should go back to the house first." Old Li's voice was a little anxious.

"Wait a little longer, I'm worried that something will happen to my sister." Axia was a little reluctant, and sat there without moving.

Old Li looked at the wall clock on the wall, his face became more anxious, and he stretched out his hand to grab Axia's arm, "You are not in good health, the doctor told you to go to bed early."

"I'm not going!" Ah Xia screamed, stood up excitedly, and took a few steps back, "Every time it gets dark, you lock me in the house."

"Axia, be obedient and go back to the house with your father." Xiaomo's mother looked embarrassed.

"I'll wait here for my sister to come back." Axia bit her lip stubbornly, holding the bamboo pole tightly, her joints turned white.

Old Li looked sad, kept looking at the clock on the wall, and paced back and forth anxiously.

"Uncle Li, come here." I had a guess in my mind, but I needed to be confirmed by Old Li.

Old Li beckoned to Xiaomo's mother, motioning her to come over and check on Axia, and walked over anxiously.

"Is it about Axia's sleepwalking?" I lowered my voice and asked.

"Yeah, every day when the time comes, she will attack on time, and she must be locked in the room." Old Li's face was sad.

"Sleepwalking, you need to fall asleep to happen?" Lang Ying asked with some doubts.

"Axia, wake up." Xiaomo's mother exclaimed, interrupting our conversation.

I looked up and saw Axia lying on the ground with her eyes closed, no matter how Xiaomo's mother shook her, she did not respond.

"It's coming, it's starting." Old Li's expression changed, and he walked quickly to the door, closed the door tightly, and locked it worryingly.

"Is sleepwalking so serious?" Lang Ying asked herself suspiciously.

Ah Xia suddenly opened her eyes, stood up holding the bamboo pole, pushed her mother's hand away, and walked straight to the gate.

"Old man, what should we do?" Xiaomo's mother asked with a hint of crying.

"Bring me the rope, and tie her up at home." Old Li gritted his teeth and said.

"Uncle Li, the root cause of the disease must be cured, get out of the way." I stared at Axia's back, thoughtful.

Old Li hesitated, looked at Lang Ying and me, and slapped his thigh hard to get out of the door behind him.

Ah Xia went straight to the door, opened the locked door, and walked towards the pig house.

"Sleepwalking can open locked doors? Something's wrong." Lang Ying rubbed her chin with her fingers.

"Let's follow." I walked towards the door, wanting to see which ghosts and ghosts were causing trouble among them.

Seeing that Axia didn't turn around, but was walking towards the shovel next to the pig house and against the wall, my heart moved, and I ran over there first, and moved the shovel to a different position.

A strange scene happened. Axia was obviously blind, but now she seemed to be able to see the shovel, turned a corner, and walked straight to the shovel.

I stood aside, but Axia turned a blind eye to me, reached out to pick up the shovel, and walked towards the east of the village.

"Mr. Zhang, what should we do now?" Old Li came over anxiously.

"Follow me and see what she is doing with the shovel." I looked towards the east of the village, thinking of the collapsed ancient temple, right there.

A group of us, with flashlights on, followed Axia, the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and the sky was a bit dark.

Axia seemed to have night eyes, and walked straight to the ruined temple without any detours.

"That's Longkou, you can't go there at night." Old Li sweated profusely.

"There are experts here, what are you afraid of?" Lang Ying looked indifferent, still wearing a pair of sunglasses.

The more we walked, the more deserted weeds grew all around. The villagers knew that this area was Longkou, and at night, there was not a single ghost to be seen.

There was a fire ahead, and a figure threw dead branches into the fire, humming an out-of-key nursery rhyme, it was that lunatic.

When the lunatic saw Ah Xia walking by, his expression froze for a moment, and he followed behind with clapping hands and feet.

"It's that bastard, he wants to make bad plans for Axia." Old Li looked excited, and was just about to run over, but I stretched out my hand and grabbed him.

"I'll keep an eye on it, you guys will follow behind first." I confessed and walked forward quickly.

The lunatic followed a few steps, then jumped up suddenly, stretched out his arms to embrace Ah Xia, and kept yelling about her younger sister.

My face changed, I quickened my pace, and was about to go over to pull the lunatic away, but before I had run two steps, I heard a scream.

The lunatic fell to the ground, covered his face with his hands, screamed over and over again, blood was faintly leaking between his fingers.

"The lesson from last time wasn't enough. Since you don't want to be a lunatic, you might as well be a ghost." A gloomy male voice came from Ah Xia's mouth.

My scalp tightened, and I looked at Ah Xia in surprise, and saw that the other party raised the shovel in his hand and was about to smash it on the lunatic's head.

"Stop!" I yelled, and rushed forward, trying to stop Axia from killing someone.

Axia retracted the shovel, gave me a gloomy look, turned around and ran, her movements were more nimble than a rabbit.

"I'd like to see what kind of ghost you are." I bit my finger, stretched out my hand and tapped on my eyes, opening my eyes.

In Ah Xia's body, a transparent ghost appeared. She did not suffer from sleepwalking, but was possessed by a ghost.

"Strange, you obviously checked it before?" I looked puzzled, there must be something strange about the ghost being able to possess Ah Xia under my nose.

Axia ran straight to a wasteland, stopped, and quickly dug on the ground with a shovel.

"No, that's the location of Longkou, what does that ghost want to do?" My face changed, and I checked with a compass in the afternoon, and there were many dead people buried there.

A gust of wind blew up all around, weeds were flying, and ghost cries came from all directions.

"Don't come here." I turned around and yelled loudly, my whole body was chilled by the wind, and goose bumps appeared on my arms.

Axia raised her head, kept moving her hands, and gave me a vicious smile.

"His sister." I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, which aroused the yang fire in my shoulders and swept away the coldness all over my body.

The cries of ghosts all around suddenly stopped, and then the wind became more intense, and blurred figures loomed in the darkness.
