PFC Chapter 369 Ghost: I will repay you in my next life!
Chapter 369 Ghost: I will repay you in my next life!
At midnight, the moon was high in the sky, and the wind from the forest carried a hint of chill and quietly blew over my clothes.
The village fell into silence under the cover of night, leaving only the intermittent chirping of insects.
At this moment, a pair of eyes in the dark were staring at the undulating village in the distance without blinking, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Suddenly, I felt warm breath on my neck and a deep voice whispered in my ear, "What are you looking at?"
Qin Miaoxi's body stiffened, and the palm wind slashed backwards with lightning speed.
"young married woman!"
Following a familiar cry of surprise, a fierce palm wind stopped in front of Lu Qingchen, just a hair's breadth away from knocking him three feet away.
Qin Miaoxi angrily withdrew her hand and asked unhappily, "Why are you here?"
Lu Qingchen sucked in a breath of cold air, blinking uncontrollably. A strand of hair on her forehead ruined her meticulous bun.
He stammered, "I saw you hadn't returned home late at night, so I was worried and came to check on you."
"is it?"
She looked at him thoughtfully, and after a few seconds of silence, she slowly said, "You're quite impressive for finding this place."
Lu Qingchen chuckled twice, "We are in sync, and the wife follows the husband's lead."
[Wow, God knows I almost asked everyone in the city, but luckily I got the whereabouts of my wife from Lord Liang.]
Qin Miaoxi: "..."
"Wife, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"It's too late. I need to solve this case as soon as possible."
Lu Qingchen was puzzled, but he didn't ask anything and said "OK" calmly.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Qin Miaoxi pursed her lips tightly, "I really need you, come closer..."
She whispered, but Lu Qingchen only felt a refreshing fragrance entering his nose along with the heat wave, and all his limbs were baptized, with a numb feeling in his heart and soul, burning his ears red.
"Did you hear it?"
"I heard you." Lu Qingchen coughed twice and promised solemnly, "I guarantee that I will complete the task."
"I'll go get ready."
Qin Miaoxi tapped her feet lightly, and her figure passed over the eaves like a ghost and disappeared into the village.
Lu Qingchen's eyes suddenly lit up, and no matter how many times he watched it, he couldn't help but praise his wife's unparalleled lightness skills.
Wait, what did my wife ask me to do?
The shadows of the trees in the farmhouse swayed, the dripping sound came and went, and wisps of white smoke rose and quickly disappeared.
The snoring in the room gradually stopped and turned into rapid and panicked breathing.
"Who? Who's playing tricks?"
The lights in the room came on, and the man looked around while holding the candlestick, but he froze in his place the moment he looked at the wall.
The shadow on the wall had become two at some point, swaying slightly with the candlelight.
The man felt his heartbeat stop for a moment, cold sweat on his back soaked his clothes, and his whole body was cold and horrified.
The black shadow gradually approached, sticking close to his shadow, as if it was sticking close to him, and his ears were filled with the cold air emitted by the black shadow.
Cold sweat flowed down the man's forehead. He dared not move, and turned his eyes with all his strength towards the black shadow, but he could not see any human figure.
Ghost...it's a ghost.
With a bang, the man knelt on his knees, clasped his hands together and raised them above his head, praying tremblingly.
"Great Immortal, I have no grudge against you, please let me go!"
A long voice exploded in my ears, "The fire is so hot, it burns my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. The water is so cold, it makes my body swollen."
"Why? Why are you going to kill me?"
"I'm unwilling to die in obscurity. Anyone who harms me should be cut into pieces."
The man's eyes were filled with terror. At this moment, he had already figured out who was speaking. It was the corpse he had brought out of the river a year ago.
"No, I didn't kill you. Go find the person who killed you, don't look for me!"
The man kowtowed three more times, hoping to send him away quickly.
The black shadow remained silent, and a cold touch climbed up the back of his neck, making his hair stand on end and he dared not breathe.
"Don't be afraid. You brought me home from the river. I'm here to thank you."
The shadow's voice softened, "You are my benefactor for being able to find me."
"No, it wasn't me who found you. It was Tiezhu. He saw someone in the river first, and then he asked me to sail over to check."
"Is it him? Why did you go there?"
"Tiezhu was lazy and asked me to go to the back mountain with him."
"When I died, I was wearing the jade pendant passed down from my ancestors. Did you take it?"
"No, I definitely didn't." The man couldn't wait to explain: "Iron Pillar can prove it. When we found you, you had nothing on you. Even your clothes were burned to ashes."
"Haha!" The black shadow sneered, "Since there's nothing, what makes you say it's me?"
The man was stunned and stammered, "The village chief said that you were the only one missing at that time."
The black shadow remained silent and did not leave, which made people even more anxious and confused.
"Although there were some unpleasantness between you and me before, I owe you a favor. This is my thank you gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, a silver ingot was thrown into the man's hand. He instantly smiled and forgot the fear of facing the ghost.
The next moment, the shadow's voice resounded, "When you come down in the future, I will definitely repay you well."
Come down?
The silver ingot in the man's arms felt as hot as fire, and he instantly had the urge to return it.
He flattered his face and smiled, "Don't, brother, when have we ever had any unpleasantness? When Aunt was seriously ill, I lent you three taels of silver for medical treatment! You can't forget this."
"Really?" The shadow's voice was full of doubt. "I don't remember."
"How can I not remember this? Think about it again, brother."
The man's smile froze, and he was so anxious that he almost cried. He couldn't forget the great kindness he received, and he was afraid that the man would turn evil and take him away.
"No, it's you. You made trouble with me, and I remember now. It was you who killed me!" The black shadow changed the subject, and the benefactor just now suddenly became a murderous enemy. Even the air around them was suddenly dropping.
"No, the one who's arguing with you is Tiezhu. Have you forgotten that Tiezhu once called you a jinx who kills his wife? It has nothing to do with me."
"Oh? Is there anyone else who has a problem with me?"
"And your good brother Shitou. He borrowed money from you and refused to pay it back. You went to ask for it back many times but it never came back, and you eventually broke up with him."
The shadow seemed to have thought of something and roared indignantly: "Why didn't he give it to me? He obviously has the silver."
"Shi Tou likes to gamble. Even if he has the silver, he won't return it to you. He's taking you for a ride!"
The shadow asked a few more seemingly ambiguous questions, and the man answered them one by one.
"Don't let me know you're lying to me, otherwise..."
"No, no, no, you know I'm a very honest person. I can't fool anyone but you, my brother!"
A gust of wind swept by, and the black shadow that was sticking to him disappeared without a trace.
The man slumped on the ground, his underwear sticking to his legs. It was unclear whether it was from cold sweat or...
