I Have a Diary

Therefore, this ghost domain is probably a cage itself, a cage where an old man traps his family and descendants, in order to prevent them from escaping from here and going out to harm the common people.

However, in this way of speculation, Chu Jiang had another question:

Now that the old man has figured out a way and successfully used the incense of his descendants to keep his family human, then logically, they shouldn't kill people randomly, right?

At least Chu Jiang hasn't been killed yet, even if he thinks this family is very dangerous.

Since they won't kill people everywhere like real ghosts, it seems unnecessary to trap them here.

Or is there a limit to maintaining humanity in this way, no one can leave Lin's ancestral hall, and once they leave, they will lose control?

By the way, there is also the master in the coffin, he is too serious to be a ghost, even if he is enshrined with incense from his descendants for many years, he still cannot maintain his sanity?

There is also the old lady who is seriously ill and has never met, she is even more mysterious...

In short, although there is a general guess direction, there are still many details that Chu Jiang can't sort out.

In addition, Chu Jiang also made sure of one thing. It might be difficult for him to escape from the Lin family by himself, so try not to break the face with the other party directly, and wait until he sees the old man.

Otherwise, if there was a real fight, Chu Jiang even doubted that this family would be able to fight against S-level ghosts for a short time if they stood shoulder to shoulder.

Oh no, not for a short time, because they are probably ghosts themselves, so there is no hidden danger of ghosts reviving, and they can be more unscrupulous than those ghost masters who are alive in modern times.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang shook his head again and again.

.......

It was late at night, although Chu Jiang was not very sleepy, he still went to bed.

It should be safe in this room. No matter how many ghosts there are outside, at least the Lin family should not let the guests have any accidents.

But as soon as he turned over, Chu Jiang discovered that there was something extra in the quilt!A round ball...

He was startled, and immediately fell to the ground and lifted the quilt.

With this kick, the person who suddenly appeared on the bed put his index finger on his mouth and made a gesture of silence to Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang's complexion changed again and again. This was actually an "acquaintance", the fifth concubine whom he had just met at the banquet.

She was so bold that she actually touched her bed overnight. If Lin Mohua next door found out, then a big battle between "mother and daughter" might be inevitable.

Seeing that Chu Jiang didn't make a sound, the slender and graceful fifth aunt relaxed and stretched out on the bed, like a lazy cat.

She stretched out her hand to beckon to Chu Jiang, and said softly, "Now you can talk, as long as it's not loud, the girl next door won't be able to hear it."

Chu Jiang didn't go back to the bed, but just threw the quilt back, and said bluntly: "Aunt Lin, why did you come to my room in the middle of the night? If it spreads, I won't be able to wash it off even if I jumped into the river."

"Before no one finds out, please go out now."

The Fifth Aunt seemed a little aggrieved, she was on the verge of tears and said: "If I hadn't really reached the point of desperation, how could I, a weak woman, be so disregarded of face and come here in the middle of the night to ask for help from a strange man."

After finishing speaking, she waved again, "Mr. Chu, come here, I have a lot to share with you."

Chu Jiang looked indifferent, "Forget it, I'll call someone if you don't leave."

"Don't." Fifth Aunt sat up from the bed, "I can help you, believe me, you should be full of doubts now, right?"

"I can answer all your questions, as long as I know."

It has to be said that Fifth Aunt's entry point is very precise, and it hits Chu Jiang's current needs all at once. He really needs a Lin family member to tell some "truths" by himself.

Seeing that Chu Jiang was silent, Aunt Wu went further and said, "Don't worry, I won't threaten you, it's just that everyone gets what they need."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Take me out of here!" Fifth Aunt's emotions suddenly became agitated, and even her voice involuntarily raised a beat.

Chu Jiang's eyes changed slightly, did this woman realize it?

The fifth aunt was still muttering to herself, "I can feel that our group of people is trapped in a cycle, a dream fabricated by the old man."

"We're doing what we've done before, over and over again, every day."

"Spring goes and autumn comes, Lixia and winter solstice, one year passes, two years pass, three years pass...But I suddenly found out, did everything start from scratch again? Just like those two children, they will grow up forever Not big."

"And I found that the people in Luohe County are not quite right. They, they lack a kind of vitality, they are all numb. Only the people in my Lin family are normal, but most of them are muddled."

"I don't know why the old man did such a thing, why he locked us in this endless loop, but I want to escape!"

Chapter 170 Three Pleadings

Chu Jiang was silent again.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Fifth Aunt restrained her emotions a bit. She moved closer, sat on the side of the bed and said, "You must be curious, right?"

"Why do the Lin family seem to be very interested in you? Although you are from the mysterious Chu family, it seems normal that everyone will pay attention to you."

"But what about Lin Mohua? How does she explain it?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. When I first heard that someone like you came to the Lin family as a guest, I didn't notice anything wrong."

"But after seeing you with my own eyes, I actually feel that you are very strange, as if I have never met you before."

"It's a wonderful feeling, like you follow the routine every day, repeating the monotonous life day by day, and suddenly a new face jumps into your life."

"And this new face is still energetic, thoughtful, and not numb."

"It is precisely because you are a variable that has never appeared in this reincarnation that you make us feel that you are very special."

"We are the group of people who subconsciously want to interact with you."

"I'm afraid Lin Mohua has had this feeling since he first saw you."

"And her mentality is a bit subtle. She seems to want to take you as her own. This is not about love or anything like that. Ghost masters have always been very indifferent to such emotions."

"It's more like she hopes that you can stay with her forever and bring a little fun to her boring and repetitive life."

After being told by the fifth aunt, Chu Jiang realized that the reason why the Lin family was "watching" him was because he brought them a sense of novelty.

"What about the fourth young master?" Chu Jiang asked.

"He also pays attention to you, doesn't he? But contrary to others, why does he feel that he has inexplicably become very interested in a guest from afar?"

"So Lin Xingshun became vigilant. He felt that you might have used the ability of a certain ghost, which caused everyone to be very concerned about you."

"After tonight's banquet ended, I think he went to discuss with the young master." The fifth aunt was twirling a strand of hair hanging down her temples with her fingers while talking.

Chu Jiang pondered for a while, and then he said: "To be honest, it's useless for you to find me. I just stumbled into this place by mistake. I want to see the old man, just to ask him to give me a hand and let me out."

The fifth aunt was not discouraged, "Then your identity as the heir of the Chu family must not be false, right? Lin Mohua said that she had confirmed it, and a little maid in our mansion also witnessed your special status. .”

"Anyway, you are going to leave. When you see the old man, intercede for me and let me leave with you. It is not difficult for you."

Speaking of which, she stood up and walked towards Chujiang step by step, "As long as you can get me out of this ghost place, you can do whatever you want me to do, and I will follow you wholeheartedly for the rest of my life."

"By the way," Fifth Aunt said in Chu Jiang's ear too ambiguously: "I married into this Lin family at first because their master was seriously ill and I wanted to find someone to celebrate."

"So you understand, right? That dead old man didn't have that kind of ability. He died a few months after I got married."

Chu Jiang took a step back, and he said expressionlessly, "No, I'm afraid your master will cheat the corpse."

Fifth Auntie covered her mouth and laughed, "How can this be..."

"Dong dong~!"

Just when she was halfway through her words, there were two dull and rapid knocking sounds from the distant direction of the main hall of the Lin family, as if something was hitting the coffin board.

This made Fifth Aunt's complexion froze instantly, and Chu Jiang also vigilantly avoided the other party, returned to his bed and sat down.

"Did you hear that too? Go away, I'll pretend this never happened."

Fifth Auntie bit her lip, clenched her fists tightly, her nails sank into her flesh, "This damn ghost, he won't let me go even after he dies!"

After venting, Fifth Aunt took a deep breath, turned around, and put on a coquettish look again.

"Don't call me aunt when there is no one in private. My name is Xu Lan, Lanhua's Lan."

"What else do you want to know? I can answer you one by one."

Chu Jiang waved his hand, "Go away, I can't afford what you want."

"I believe you know very well in your heart that it is impossible for the old man to let you go because of me, an outsider. Why are you bothering?"

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled..." Xu Lan sighed quietly.

"I don't even remember how many years I have lived here. I only remember a long time, a long time... so long that when I think back to the time when I was not married into the Lin family, I feel as if I have passed away."

As she spoke, Xu Lan came to Chu Jiang. She no longer tried to seduce her with her beauty, but knelt down on her knees.

"Help me, Mr. Chu."

"Even if you don't help me, I'm willing to tell you what I know. You want to know about Chujiang's lineage, right? I don't know much, I just know..."

"Stop." Chu Jiang covered Xu Lan's mouth with his hand, and pulled her up from the ground.

"I can't stand it, I can't hear it, there's nothing I can do."

Seeing that Chu Jiang disagreed life and death, Fifth Aunt's complexion was a little ugly. She first begged so hard that tears almost fell out.

Later, this kind of sadness gradually turned into a kind of anger and resentment, as if blaming Chu Jiang for why he refused to save him.

Following this emotional change, some low-pitched cries began to come from Xu Lan.

This cry is very special, not from her mouth, but from inside her.

Moreover, there seemed to be more than one crying person, including men and women, old and young, and even the cry of a baby.

Chu Jiang also had a calm face when he heard the crying, he must be tough at this time, and...

He pointed to the next room, "You can cry louder."

Being pointed at by Chu Jiang, the crying from Aunt Wu's body gradually became smaller and finally disappeared. It seems that she is still reasonable.

If she were to tear herself apart with Chu Jiang here, then she would definitely not be able to kill Chu Jiang in a short time, and she was also a descendant of that line.

Then the movement here will attract other members of the Lin family, and when the trouble becomes serious, Xu Lan's hope of escaping will become even slimmer.

Because it is impossible for the old man to let everyone out...

After figuring this joint out, the fifth aunt still used the old method, and she said with tears in her eyes, "What should I do before you will help me?"

Chu Jiang thought for a while, "You go first. After I see the old man, I will help you ask him why you are locked up here."
