The Taste of Ghosts in the World

There were so many complaints that Qi Mu didn't even know where to start, so he had to pick up the topic of Feng Baisui and said: "...I usually just get something to eat."

"Then go get it, I'm hungry."

"Actually... I'm not very good at cooking..."

"I do not mind."

"..."

Qi Mu, who was rarely excited when he met someone who regarded himself as his uncle, got excited for a while, and immediately took two boxes of instant noodles and slapped them in front of Feng Baisui, "Only this, eat it or not!"

Feng Baisui just frowned and asked, "Pickled peppers? Is there no spicy one?"

Qi Mu replied angrily: "No!"

Feng Baisui started tearing off the wrapping paper with a calm expression, halfway through the tearing, he found Qi Mu standing beside him motionless, and asked, "You don't like it?"

Qi Mu lost his temper completely, sat down opposite him, reached out to take a box of instant noodles, gritted his teeth and said, "I like it, I like it so much."

Feng Baisui glanced at his packaging, and said calmly: "So you like braised in soy sauce."

"..." Qi Mu simply stopped talking to him.

After soaking the noodles, the two each held a bowl and buried their heads in eating. Feng Baisui suddenly said, "Are you the only one living in this house?"

Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, nodded and replied, "My dad is very busy and basically doesn't come here, so I live alone."

"Why do I feel like we're not the only two here..." Feng Baisui held up a plastic fork and casually pointed to the side, "It seems like there are people there."

Qi Mu almost cried out, the place he pointed happened to be the location of the father and daughter who killed the ghost.

The two ghosts were also taken aback, and hurriedly floated elsewhere, but they always felt that Feng Baisui's eyes followed them intentionally or unconsciously.

Qi Mu had no choice but to divert his attention, and said indiscriminately: "You feel wrong, there are only two of us here, and Dahei."

Feng Baisui didn't delve into it, and said casually: "That's right, anyway, since I was a child, I often feel that I touch something but can't see what it is, and I'm used to it." After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to eat noodles.

Qi Mu tried his best to find some topics, but none of them were suitable, so he said, "Listen to my classmate...you don't fit in well."

Feng Baisui pouted.

The decapitated female ghost commented next to her: "Our family really can't speak."

The dead ghost nodded in agreement.

Qi Mu automatically blocked the conversation between the two ghosts, just smiled and said, "I'm not very social either."

The other party was silent for a while, and when Qi Mu began to feel that he had resonated with him, Feng Baisui said, "You...really don't owe me any money?"

Depend on!

The neon lights are flashing, the traffic is busy, the bright lights are pouring out from the shops, and the street lights are lined up like a luxurious honor guard. All kinds of lights set off the excitement of the world.

This is the Central Avenue business district, which just opened for business not long ago, and night falls is the most prosperous time of the day.

Qi Mu came out of the supermarket carrying two big bags, he couldn't help exhaling, it was too crowded inside!

The pale light from the lampposts in the parking lot dazzled him a little.The centralized purchase is only once a month, which makes the things in his hands very heavy now, and he just wants to go back quickly.

Hurrying around a few cars, his already overwhelmed shoulders suddenly sank. At first, Qi Mu didn't care about it, but after walking a few steps, he felt his back getting heavier and heavier. I found that the lights in this section were relatively dim. Looking forward, it was almost dark in front of me, with no light at all.

Knowing something was wrong in his heart, Qi Mu slowly turned his head back, and suddenly met a pair of bulging blood eyes. Something was lying on his back, and stretched its neck forward, staring at his face.

Goosebumps crawled up his cheeks in an instant, Qi Mu held his breath and looked at it for three seconds, but the other party didn't move, Qi Mu let out a sigh of relief, luckily it wasn't an evil spirit.

Originally wanting it to leave by itself, Qi Mu stood there and waited for a few minutes, the pressure on his shoulders still undiminished, but he didn't want to see that face again, so he could only turn his head and say to the back: "Come down!" .”

The words came out, but there was no response.

Qi Mu said again: "Come down."

This time the thing on his back moved, and Qi Mu felt a cold breath approaching his ears, accompanied by the cold smell of building materials, it asked Qi Mu: "Can you see me?" The voice sounded like something was stuck in his throat , hoarse and indistinct.

Qi Mu frowned, "Speak as you speak, don't get so close."

The other party turned a deaf ear to it, and instead got closer and closer, only knowing to repeat that sentence: "You can really see me...you can see me..."

Qi Mu felt that half of his head was numb, so he simply put down the bag in his hand, hesitating whether to pull it off directly, but he didn't know how it died, if it touched something disgusting...

Just when he was in a dilemma, there was a sound of footsteps from far to near, and Qi Mu felt nervous. Others could not see what was on his back. Now this bent posture could easily cause misunderstanding, so he quickly put his hands on his knees, pretending to be Acting very tired.

Footsteps came to me quickly, but I heard a familiar voice asking, "What are you doing?"

It's Feng Baisui!

Before he could explain, he heard the scream from the ghost on his back, his shoulders lightened suddenly, Qi Mu straightened up, and saw Feng Baisui flicked his long arm, the ghost flew out and was thrown into the darkness ahead gone.

Qi Mu hurriedly glanced in that direction, quickly picked up the bag on the ground, and said to Feng Baisui, "Go!" Before he could finish speaking, he had already rushed a long way, and Feng Baisui followed suspiciously.

Qi Mu ran desperately in front, and when he heard Feng Baisui's footsteps getting closer, he felt relieved. The next second, he took a bag from his hand. He said: "Are you hiding something? Hurry up and leave."

The two ran all the way, and after running for a while, some lights appeared in front of them, and when they were about to run towards the direction of the lights, they heard someone shout: "Hey! You two, don't go there!"

Qi Mu hurriedly stopped, and found that the person speaking was a middle-aged man dressed as a migrant worker, with a hard hat on his head, walking towards them angrily.

"This is a construction site, the street is in front, what are you two doing here?"

It turned out that the last section of Central Avenue was still under construction, and they ran all the way just now, and came here unknowingly.

Qi Mu had no choice but to explain: "We went wrong, so we'll go back."

The migrant worker waved his hand and said, "Go back, go back!" Then he turned and prepared to leave.

Qi Mu pulled Feng Baisui to leave, but the migrant worker stopped and said to them: "Go around from the back, don't go from the front."

"Okay." Qi Mu nodded without thinking too much.

Feng Baisui asked, "Why?"

A strange expression suddenly appeared on the face of the migrant worker, "I'll tell you, you won't believe me... In the parking lot, there was an accident during construction, and a worker died, and now he's still inside the underground concrete pillar!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qi Mu and Feng Baisui staring at him, and said: "Look, I said you wouldn't believe me! I'm the foreman here, and I was there when the accident happened. You love to believe me!" Do not believe…"

He wanted to say a few more words, but a worker ran up from a distance and waved his hat and called him: "Dingtou! Look here!" The migrant worker didn't say any more, just urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't wander around the construction site!" Then hurried away.

Qi Mu and Feng Baisui didn't continue to run, each carried a bag and walked slowly across the construction site.

"Why did you come to Central Avenue?" Qi Mu asked.

Feng Baisui said: "My house is nearby."

Qi Mu was afraid that he would ask about what happened just now, and he couldn't find a topic to talk about for a while. Sure enough, Feng Baisui asked in the next sentence: "Just now, what were you hiding?"

"Uh..." Qi Mu was silent. Ever since Feng Baisui came to the house once, he has been waiting for him at the door of the classroom almost every day. Before he knew it, Feng Baisui had become the living person who spent the longest time with him, but the real situation is , they don't know each other at all, so Qi Mu doesn't intend to tell him his biggest secret.

But today's situation, how should I explain it?

Before he could reply, Feng Baisui said to himself: "When I was close to you just now, I felt something, and... that thing looked like a human being."

Qi Mu laughed uncomfortably.

Feng Baisui suddenly asked: "What is that?"

Qi Mu glanced at him, Feng Baisui's face was very calm, he couldn't tell what kind of mentality he was holding when he asked this sentence.

Before Qi Mu could find a better explanation, Feng Baisui asked again: "Can you see it? What is that?"

Qi Mu suddenly had an idea to fight it out, took a long breath and said, "If I say it's a ghost, do you believe it or not?"

Feng Baisui replied without thinking, "Letter."

He was so understated that Qi Mu even wondered if what he said just now was not clear enough. After holding back for a long time, he spit out: "Why?"

Feng Baisui's expression was very natural, "I often encounter invisible things. If they are not ghosts, then I have a mental problem. Compared with the latter possibility, I prefer the idea of ​​ghosts."

Qi Mu quickly concluded: "So you believe in ghosts because you don't want to admit that you have mental problems?"

Feng Baisui raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I have neurological problems?"

Qi Mu quickly shook his head, "Absolutely not." After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Do you know that ghosts cannot come into contact with things in the world?"

"do not know."

"...Now I know. It is because ghosts cannot touch things in the world that people doubt their existence, but if you can touch ghosts, you break this restriction."

"so?"

Qi Mu spread his hands and said: "No reason, I don't know why you can touch it, just like I don't know why I can see it."

Feng Baisui was silent for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "You said that only I can touch it, but you can too, right?"

"The inability of living people to encounter ghosts is based on the invisibility. I can see them, so I can encounter them." Qi Mu explained.

Feng Baisui changed the topic back to before: "Is the ghost on your back just now the accidental victim that the worker said?"

"…Probably."

"What are you going to do?"

Qi Mu was surprised, "What should I do?"

"Can't you see? You don't need to exorcise ghosts or anything?"

Qi Mu stared, "None of my business!" After walking for a while, he added: "I won't come again until he is reincarnated."

Facts have proved that one cannot be too rigid.

Three days later, Fang Ji celebrated his birthday, and Qi Mu declined the invitation to attend the birthday party. In order to express their friendship, Fang Ji asked Qi Mu to have a meal with him as a celebration. Qi Mu couldn't shirk it, so he had to agree. .

So Fang Ji excitedly proposed: "A new western restaurant opened recently, let's try it!"

"Where is it?" Qi Mu asked absently.

"Central Avenue!"

"..."

The things that have been promised cannot be repented, so Qi Mu had no choice but to refuse the dinner with Feng Baisui, and accompany Fang Ji to the Central Street where he decided not to set foot three days ago.

Fortunately, the restaurant was on the outskirts and did not go deep into the pedestrian street. There was no problem halfway through the meal, so Qi Mu was a little relieved.

Fang Ji ordered a lot of food and ate to his heart's content. Anyway, it was his treat, so Qi Mu didn't care. He turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, but he was confronted with a blue-purple dead face, and his throat tightened. , almost sprayed the contents of his mouth on the glass.

Seeing his expression changed, Fang Ji asked, "What's wrong? Are you going back?"

Qi Mu immediately stood up and said: "I forgot to go shopping, you can eat slowly, the gift will be made up in a few days."

"Hey, don't be polite to me!" Fang Ji waved his hand at him, Qi Mu quickly walked out of the restaurant, turned to the parking lot with few pedestrians, shaking his shoulders.

"What are you doing with me?"

The ghost slowly slid down from his back, "Can you really see me?"

"Nonsense!" Qi Mu was very impatient after being asked the same question so many times by the same ghost.

"Then take me out! I want to find my wife!"

Qi Mu was puzzled and said: "You died by accident, right? Why can't you go by yourself?"

"Yes!" said the ghost, "but I can't remember the way outside, so I dare to stay near here."

"If I don't take you there, do you want to follow me all the time?"

"Hey, only you can see me."

Qi Mu sighed and said, "Tell me, where is your home?"

The ghost suddenly became stupid, and it took a long time before he said faintly: "I forgot..."

"Forgot?!" Qi Mu didn't believe his nonsense, "You forgot your home address?"

"I don't know what's going on!" The ghost spun around in a hurry, "I remember the things on the construction site very clearly, but I only have a few memories of the previous ones. I remember that there seems to be a daughter-in-law. where…"

"Then what do you want me to..."

Before Qi Mu finished speaking, the ghost suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his figure just disappeared from sight.

Looking around, Qi Mu didn't find any trace of the ghost. At this moment, a stern but childish voice came from behind: "That man over there, don't stay here, go to a crowded place!"

This voice seems to have been heard somewhere...
