piecing together the soul

Chapter 9
Seeing that I didn't dare to speak, Brother Xiu actually smiled and encouraged me: "Speak."

I looked at no one, and said in a low voice, "The ghosts are all naked?"

Brother Xiu still smiled noncommittally.I hurriedly said, "Say it quickly, don't you!"

He was grinning from ear to ear, and if he had arms and a torso he would be grinning by now.I looked in the mirror and found that my current expression was indeed embarrassing and hideous, and there was a slight blush on my face.

Oops, he must have thought I was shy!certainly not!But in the current situation, if I don't explain it, he must have misunderstood it, but he didn't say it out, so if I explain it directly, it's even more "there is no silver 300 taels here".It's really hard to argue!

In such a hurry, my face turned even redder.He quickly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, let me tell you, ordinary ghosts do not wear clothes. Clothed ghosts are not easy to mess with."

"What?" I didn't quite understand.

“Ordinary ghosts don’t wear clothes,” he said, “but wraiths wear blue clothes, fierce ghosts wear red clothes, evil ghosts wear black clothes, etc. Well dressed."

But, it still doesn't work... "You are a big man, you follow me naked every day..."

"What are you afraid of, I am your brother."

I really wanted to shout, but I was afraid of being heard, so I could only forcefully lower my voice and say: "Which brother have you ever seen playing with your sister?!"

"Don't worry." He seemed very relaxed, "The soul is not very clear, and you can't see my feet clearly, right? These...the corners and corners...will not be too clear. It's just an outline, where is it? Is it considered a joke?"

I looked down at his feet.Alas, what he said is also true, maybe I am too nervous.However, when I think of a naked man following me around every day, I still can't help but blush...

"Relax, relax." He advised me.

I was speechless and fell into silence.My hair was almost wiped, so I went back to the dormitory and had dinner.Although the arm is a little sore, it is not a problem to eat with chopsticks.But when you meet your boyfriend at night, you should be more careful. It is best not to let him know that my hands are sore, otherwise he will ask me, what should I say?

After washing up, I went back to the dormitory for dinner, and finally got to read a book all afternoon.Flipping through the review materials with the red pages, I couldn't help but look up again at the ghost with his legs crossed on my chest and his head leaning against the wall.He came from this material.These things would not have happened if I hadn't bought this material.In that way, I will definitely be able to review well.

It's all your fault if you fail the exam!I thought to myself.

On Saturday afternoon, all dormitory residents surf the Internet in the dormitory.A roommate suddenly said, "Have you seen the news?"

"What news?" Someone answered immediately.

"There was a boy who was killed." The roommate said, "The corpses floated in the moat, but it was obviously a homicide, but the police said that the murder weapon is unknown, not an ordinary sharp knife."

"so what?"

"The main reason is that this boy is still a student. He came from province A and is a new graduate student at University Q. He scored more than 400 points in the test. He is a college bully."

Hearing the gloating tone of my roommate, I couldn't help adding a knife: "You want to say that all top students deserve to die?"

The roommate laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, and said, "Xiao Luan, you can't do this."

"Damn you, are you angry?" I continued joking.

The roommate immediately accepted the call: "You are a top student! Your whole family is a top student!"

"I don't want you to scold people like that!" How can I give in?Just as he was about to continue to talk back, he found that translucent face in front of him was giggling and laughing. That cheap look really made people want to go up and beat him.

He said, "Don't you think it's familiar? A freshman from Province A who came to Q University, male."

I remembered what he said.Isn't this the person the senior told me that day?Could it be that the missing boy was already in danger?Thinking of this, my face must have changed, Brother Xiu also said: "Don't change your face. That man has been dead for several days."

I pretended to go to the bathroom and asked Brother Xiu to come out with me. I went straight to the safe passage where there were usually no people and asked Brother Xiu: "How did that man die?"

"I can't tell you." Brother Xiu said, "This is the second thing I promised you. What if I tell you and you don't help me?"

"Do you think I'm like that?" I said, "Have I said that all these days?"

"Not really." Brother Xiu said, "But you have to tell me first, what's your name? Why did someone call you Xiao Luan just now? Your surname is Luan?"

Thinking about it, I have known him for several days and I haven't told him my name, so I said: "My surname is Guo, Guo Qingluan, Qing of Qingtian, Luan of Luanfeng."

"How can your roommates call you Xiaoluan?" Brother Xiu said, "It would be nice to call you Xiaoqing."

"You are a fairy!"

"No, no, I'm a ghost, I'm not a demon."

I just remembered: "Don't talk too far, tell me what's going on with that man."

Brother Xiu said: "I was watching from the sidelines when he died. He didn't leave in the middle of the night, and he ran into that bald man at the bookstore. He didn't expect someone to shout, but he was stabbed in the lower abdomen by the bald man's shovel. The blood on your book belongs to him. Before his blood was cold, I attached a wisp of my soul to the book, and then I came to you."

I was a little dazed when I heard it: "Wait a minute... What did you say you stabbed him with your bald head?"

"Shovel." Brother Xiu said nonchalantly, "It's the one you brought back."

"I'll bring back the murder weapon!" I exclaimed in surprise, "If this is discovered, you may suspect that I killed the person?"

"No, no, no one has seen that shovel until now. If you are really worried, throw it away."

"You can't throw it away." I said, "If you throw it away, how can you dig up your bones? With your hands? Besides, this shovel is not long, so it's easy to carry."

"Still," he said. "You still can't throw it away, just put it away so that it won't be seen. Besides, the man who killed that man with the bald head was a few days ago when he met you. He has already dealt with this shovel."

Hearing him say that made me feel relieved, but then I asked again: "Then how do you catch that bald man? He is a murderer, so we can't let him escape."

Brother Xiu said helplessly: "You still care about him? For a person like him who commits crimes all day long, it will be a matter of time before he gets caught."

"But if you catch him one day earlier, you will cause less harm to people, won't you?"

"I said Xiaoqing." Hearing his name, I gave him a look, and he immediately changed his words, "Qingluan, don't worry, God will never let any villain go."

I subconsciously said: "You are a feudal superstition!"

"Then you still call ghosts a feudal superstition." He said, "Aren't I standing in front of you so vividly?"

"Science will explain it sooner or later," I insisted.

"Anyway, I'm from the late Qing Dynasty," Brother Xiu said, "I don't care if you are scientific or not."

I immediately said, "At any rate, you are a national capitalist. Why is your thinking not progressive at all?"

Brother Xiu looked contemptuous: "I only do business for the sake of earning money and living, and those who are not capitalists are just called by you descendants."

As soon as I said this, I felt that my three views trembled, and I was stunned to say the next sentence.

"I really hate you students talking," Brother Xiu continued, "Open your mouth and shut up about the general trend of the world economy and countries, but in the end I haven't earned any money to support myself. I just want to survive. If I go further, I will live Be better and show yourself. It doesn't matter to me to save the country or have lofty ambitions."

In fact, Brother Xiu's words stepped on my sore spot.Growing up so big, although I can't be regarded as pampered like a lady, but I have never suffered or suffered, and I have always been protected by my parents.If I were thrown out in the society now, I really might not be able to survive.Speaking of which, I suddenly felt admiration for Brother Xiu.

Maybe my respectful eyes scared Brother Xiu, Brother Xiu asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

"Aren't you going back?" Brother Xiu reminded, "If you don't go back, people in your dormitory think you fell into the toilet."

That's right.I hurried back to the dormitory.After returning, I barely read a book for a while.Although the eyes are facing the book, but the thoughts have long drifted to nowhere.What happened to the boy who was killed?Why didn't he leave the book club after get off work?What is the origin of that bald head?How did he know that there was a treasure under the bookstore?Why did you kill that boy when you saw him raising his hand?How did you hide the eyes and ears and transport the corpse?

Brother Xiu was right in front of me, but I didn't look up at him.I think what he said back and forth, many of them are out of context.He must be trying to hide something from me.But what is he hiding from me?

I don't want him to know that I suspect him, so I don't ask.After all, the two parts of his body have just been found, and the days to come are still long, so you should be able to guess if you slowly trick him.Of course, it's fine if you can't get it out.Don't they all say "rarely confused"?

It's five o'clock in a blink of an eye. I made an appointment with my boyfriend yesterday to go out for dinner and then take a walk.So I greeted my dormitory classmates and went out.

In the dim corridor, the shadow with only one head and one leg appeared in front of me to the right.I frowned: "I'm having dinner with my friends, what are you doing here?"

"I'm your brother." His expression and tone seemed to be a matter of course for him to follow, "I have to check for you, and see what's going on with that brat."

"What brat?" I laughed, "I've known him for many years, and I've only known you for a few days? Who shuts who up?"

Seeing that it was unreasonable, brother Xiu simply didn't speak, just followed.

"Go back quickly." I said as I walked.

Brother Xiu said: "Anyway, I'll follow, and others can't see it. What can I do?"

"I don't understand." I asked, "Didn't you say that you could only move around the place where you died before? How come you can follow me wherever I go now?"

Brother Xiu smiled and said, "You touched my bones. I can only move around the place where I died, but around my bones. As for a living person like you, as long as you touch my bones, I can follow around you."

"……This unscientific!"

"What did I tell you this afternoon?" Brother Xiu said, "Why are you still superstitious about science?"

If you can't be tough, you have to be soft: "Brother Xiu, I beg you, you go back. Your bones are under my bed, can you just stay in my dormitory?"

"Why on earth don't you want me to follow?" Brother Xiu was a little disappointed in his words, he guessed carefully, "You don't want to take the opportunity of dating a friend to find someone to break my soul?"

Shit! Virgo thinks so much!

"Why did I think that way?" I hurriedly dismissed it, "If I had thought this way, let me be like you after death!"

"Don't swear!" Brother Xiu said immediately.

Then his voice lowered again, and after his voice lowered, people could hear goose bumps: "I swear this kind of thing is very effective. I am a ghost, you are a living person, I am pestering you like this every day You, you will definitely be annoying. I have nothing to repay you for your help... Even if you want to find someone to break me up, there is nothing wrong with it..."

I just felt goosebumps all over the floor, and I hurriedly said, "Hey, you're a man, don't be so sour, can you make it work?"

But he smiled miserably: "You have never died, how can you understand? I am a ghost that has been wandering for nearly a hundred years, why haven't I seen it? People are sinister. When you work in the future, you can't be like this now."

He obviously couldn't act well in this passage. As for his intentions, I also understood, so I said: "Isn't it because I don't want to take you with me to eat? Why are you pretending to be so pitiful? Still tell me Let’s talk about the big truth. Just let you follow. I really don’t know what kind of bad taste you have, you like to be a light bulb for others.”

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, he really stopped pretending and said with a smile, "I'm your brother, what am I a light bulb? I'm going to check for you!"

Kao!I cursed in my heart.Taking a ghost on a date, I don't know what could go wrong.
