Blood……

There was a lot of blood, the color of blood poured over the sky, wet the corner of the clothes, and stained the sleeves red.

The white robe was fished out of the blood, the golden embroidery thread was dull, and the blood dried to a dark red. The robe hanging on the hanger turned into a familiar look.

Day after day, the cloth was ragged and broken, gold threads were wrapped in strands of rags, and the lines became unrecognizable.Finally, someone took it off and put it on, and the old clothes suddenly became intact.

Long hair was scattered on the splendid red dress, and a tall figure pushed open the door. In the hall, the room was filled with red silk, and a figure in the same red dress lay quietly on the table.

Ning Xingruan "saw" that figure staggered up and opened his eyes.

Floating over uncontrollably, he seemed to be the person sitting at the table.

Opening his eyes, Mr. Yu in red was sitting opposite him with soft eyes.

It was as if the floodgate had been opened, and the hidden memory broke through the blurred barrier like a levee, and the mind was shaken, and everything in front of him froze and disappeared instantly.

Opening his eyes, it was pitch black, and there was a faint pain in his chest after being scalded.

The corners of his eyes were wet, Ning Xingruan lay quietly, and after a long time, he reached out and touched the side.

There was no one, and the cold touch made him confused for a moment, whether he was awake or in a dream.

I got up and touched the switch by the wall, turned on the light, there was no black embroidered gold curtain, and there was no gold inlaid jade on the wardrobe, everything in the room was as usual.

He looked at the closet, but he didn't go forward to open it after all. He turned off the light and lay back on the bed. The jade plaque stuck to his skin slid from his chest to the side. He took it off and put it next to the pillow, and kept his eyes open until the sky was dark.

The door opened, and a figure walked in.

Ning Xingruan closed her eyes and tried her best to adjust her breathing, but her beating heart couldn't be controlled.

The person beside him came to bed, but did not lie down, Ning Xingruan seemed to feel that he was looking at her.

His scalp was slightly numb, and just when he was at a loss, a soft coolness on his forehead was gone, and then he heard a deep smile: "Why, don't you dare to open your eyes and look at me?"

Ning Xingruan took a breath, and subconsciously opened his eyes. In the gray morning light, the man was looking at him with a smile, as if he had noticed something.

"I won't eat you now." The wet and cool words whispered close to his ear, Ning Xingruan couldn't help shrinking to the side due to a burst of itching, but was pulled back again.

The coldness brought in from the outside got into the quilt, Ning Xingruan couldn't help shivering, he whispered cold, the man sighed, said something coquettish, then let go of his arms, and covered him with the quilt .

The sign placed beside the pillow was exposed, the man paused, and said softly while holding the sign, "Why did you take it off?"

"It's a little... panicky." Ning Xingruan tried to lower his voice, trying to hide his unstoppable trembling.

There was a coolness on his neck, and the man reached out to put the jade token back on for him: "Hey, take it well."

Ning Xingruan shuddered as the cool jade token was stuffed into his collar, and then the man kissed him on the cheek lightly as if to comfort him.

"Sleep." He heard the man say this, and lay back in his seat.

Across two layers of quilt, Ning Xingruan still seemed to be able to feel the chill continuously seeping through, making his hands and feet icy cold.

Slowly reached out and took out the jade tablet sticking to the skin from the neckline, carefully placed it outside the quilt, then closed his eyes and waited for his breathing to calm down.

All emotions seemed to be frozen, and his heart was empty, leaving only a daze where he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.After all, he didn't have the courage to ask the question in his heart, all the weirdness was suppressed in his heart, and there was only one word left in his mind.

Fascinated.

If you are obsessed with ghosts, you will turn a blind eye to all unreasonable questions, and you will be deceived in a daze without asking your name clearly.

all fake.

So, Mr. Yu who was lying next to him...what the hell is this monster trying to do.

To suck his yang energy?Take away his body?

Or, raise him... eat it slowly.

anyway……

No matter what, he has to live.

The sky was bright, Ning Xingruan heard movement around him, and slowly turned over, facing the wall.After the person walked out, he shivered and took off the sign again and threw it aside, huddled into a ball, biting the corner of the quilt tightly, breathing quickly in a low voice, and slowly got up after a long time, staring blankly at the other person lying quietly. Sign on the pillow.

In the end, he picked up the sign with shaking hands and hung it around his neck.

After getting dressed, he sat on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath, looked down, but his hands were still shaking slightly.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps outside the door that he reached out and pulled his cheeks, hid his hands in his sleeves, and put a smile on his face.

The door was pushed open, and the man walked in, Ning Xingruan quickly lowered his head, and clenched his cuffs uneasily with his hands hidden in his sleeves.

The black hem appeared in sight, the man walked up to him and stood there quietly without saying a word, the room was so quiet that only the sound of his breathing remained.

As time passed, Ning Xingruan's heart gradually became cold. Could it be, could it be that this... already knew about his discovery of the truth?

The oppressive suffocation made him almost collapse. At this moment, the cool hair brushed his cheeks and fell on his shoulders. The man bent down and pinched his face: "Don't be dazed, come out to eat."

Ning Xingruan got up and whispered: "I, I'm going to wash up, I'll be there right away."

With cold fingertips resting on the back of his neck, he slowly twisted the rope holding the jade plaque twice, then took his hand through the sleeve, walked out of the living room and said, "Go, there is no rush."

Responding indiscriminately, Ning Xingruan quickly turned around, only to hear a chuckle behind him, he turned his head, and saw the man standing on the steps, looking over him gently, the morning sun shone on his face, it was truly dazzling.

Ning Xingruan also smiled, turned his head and the smile froze on his face, he felt a little sad.But it was only a little bit, far from the deep fear that made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

After entering the guest room, he took the toiletries he wanted from his bag and walked into the bathroom. After closing the door and turning on the faucet, he leaned against the door of the shower room with some exhaustion.

He slid along the door behind and sat on the ground hugging his knees. Amid the sound of rushing water, he could no longer hold back a sob that he carefully lowered his voice.

Only two tears came out, and he quickly wiped them away with his fingertips, blinking quickly to suppress the tears.

You can't show any abnormalities, and you must pretend that nothing happened in order to stabilize that "person".

He didn't know why the man wanted to act in this play, maybe it was because the time was not enough to attack him?In short, before the game is over, he still has a chance.

There must be a chance to escape.

Taking out his mobile phone, he opened it with trembling hands, only to find that he could still send messages yesterday, but now it showed that there was no signal.

Putting the phone away numbly, he got up and stood in front of the mirror, looked at his pale face in the mirror, and took a deep breath.After quickly washing up, he rubbed his cheeks vigorously. Seeing that his face was flushed, he made a relaxed expression and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Right, that is it.

Walking to the dining room, a familiar figure was sitting there waiting for him. He walked over and sat down beside the man. He picked up the chopsticks as usual.

The meal was silent, Ning Xingruan was uneasy, and for some reason the people next to him were also very quiet, only slowly picking up the food for him.

"What's the matter today, aren't you feeling well?" Putting down the chopsticks, her pale fingers lightly pressed against his forehead, Ning Xingruan held on and didn't flinch.The coolness touched the skin of his forehead, and he felt that his hair was going to stand on end.

He pulled down the fingers on his forehead, forced a smile and said, "It's a bit of a headache, maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night."

The hand held by him wrapped his whole hand in turn, kneaded it twice, and sighed: "You are sharing the bed with me, aren't you used to sleeping?"

Ning Xingruan remained silent, pursing his lips and looking at him, he felt that maybe he should blushed at this moment, but no matter how hard he held his breath, there was still no feeling on his face.

"Mr. Yu, I, I want to rest." He summoned up his courage and put on a pitiful look.

The man looked at him with deep eyes, Ning Xingruan couldn't understand his eyes, but had a bad premonition in his heart.The hand being held slowly became stiff, and he felt that he could hardly maintain the expression on his face.

"Okay, you have a good rest, I just have to deal with some things." Ning Xingruan looked at the soft expression on his face, and was in a trance for a moment.

After being sent to the door of the wing room, for some reason, the man suddenly hugged him in his arms, patted his back lightly, and said softly: "Just wait there, I'll come to accompany you after I finish my business."

"...Okay." Ning Xingruan endured the shuddering feeling, not daring to make the slightest movement, and waited quietly in his arms for more than ten seconds before being let go.

As soon as he entered the room, Ning Xingruan immediately went straight to the bathroom, lying on the toilet and retching uncontrollably.

uncomfortable.

All kinds of similar scenes in the movies and TV dramas he had watched emerged in his mind, and he began to wonder whether the things he ate in his mouth these days were really meals for ordinary people?

It is still specially used to feed him. I don't know what it is for.

After rinsing his mouth with water, his face was flushed, and his eyes were also red and watery.

After washing his face, he came out and sat on the bed and waited quietly. There was no movement in the yard. He got up and slowly opened the door, glanced in the direction of the study, but there was no one.

Looking at the kitchen again, Uncle Liu and Aunt Lin were not by the window either.

Ning Xingruan's heart beat faster, and there was some faint hope.

He knew very well in his heart that this yard was their territory, and it was almost impossible to escape, but looking at the empty yard at this moment, he still couldn't help but have the idea of ​​leaving here immediately.

He seemed to be going crazy, only this thought was left in his mind, and he even trembled slightly with excitement.

He wants to escape.

Stepping out of the door, he walked slowly towards the door along the corridor wall.

Walking around the hanging flower gate, the yard behind her was covered by the wall of the veranda, looking at the gate that was close at hand, Ning Xingruan's eyes lit up, and her cheeks and ears felt a little hot.

Can we go now?

He walked over quickly, putting his hands on the latch.

An old voice came from behind: "Xiao Ning, do you want to go out?"

Looking back, Uncle Liu was leaning against the wall and looking at him in surprise.

The excitement receded in an instant, Ning Xingruan froze, the fear of being discovered made him speechless, it took him a long time to hear himself speak in a hoarse voice: "I just want to come out for a walk, is that okay?"

"Oh, of course, have you told Mr. Yu?" Uncle Liu forced a smile on his face.

Ning Xingruan's throat moved, and he stabilized his voice: "Say it, I, I'll be back in a while."

Uncle Liu nodded and heyed: "Be careful, call me if you need something."

Unlatching the latch, pushing the door open, he walked out.

Looking at the bluestone steps leading down the mountain under the sunlight, Ning Xingruan's heart almost jumped out.

Did it really come out?Come out so easily?

He took two steps forward, but there was no movement behind him.Quickening his pace to the front of the steps, he ran down in one breath, but there was still no movement.

Stepping on the rugged mountain road, Ning Xingruan was really excited this time and trembled uncontrollably.He couldn't believe that he walked out of that yard so easily.

He reached out and pulled off the sign hanging from his neck and threw it on the ground, feeling suddenly relieved.

At this time, the sun was already at the top of the sky, and it was the time when the sun was the strongest in the day. The fine sunlight that shone through the new leaves of the mountain trees gave him a sense of security.

Those things... should be the most afraid of the sun, right?

Without stopping, he ran towards the fork in the road.

After finding the way to the village, he endured exhaustion and ran to the stone bridge at the entrance of the village.

Looking at the village that was already close in front of him, he gasped for breath, and a smile appeared on his face.

He wants to leave here immediately and never come back.

He walked quickly towards the village, and at this moment he thought of the strange eyes of those old people, and he felt kind.

A figure appeared in front of him, and Ning Xingruan walked over quickly. Before he could say hello, the scene in front of him changed instantly.

Groups of people gathered together, not knowing what they were doing. Rough blankets were set up on the side of the road, and slow-moving figures hovered in front of the stalls.

They were uniformly dressed in blue and black gowns, with the Chinese character Longevity printed on the front and back.

Ning Xingruan's arrival seemed to startle them, all the "people" stopped and looked at him.

With a lifeless face, empty eyes, and slow movements, Ning Xingruan was too frightened to breathe.

However, these "people" had no other intentions, they just looked at Ning Xingruan quietly, then turned around and continued their actions.

Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Ning Xingruan saw Fourth Master Ning and the others in the crowd. They stared straight at this side, their numb expressions suddenly twisted and ferocious, full of hatred.

Ning Xingruan retreated subconsciously, and then saw them rushing towards him.
