Lookout Men and Widows

Chapter 104

There is no signal in the underworld, and You Ming's mobile phone is just a decoration in the underworld. There are no electronic products, and You Ming is not used to it.

Although there is no dust, and the temperature here is not enough to make You Ming sweat, but you Ming always feels very uncomfortable if you don't take a shower before going to bed.

When Zou Fan was asked by You Ming if there was any bath water, the whole ghost was sluggish, but he still brought hot water for You Ming on the first day, and when You Ming asked him again the next day, he It was incredible.

"Do the living people have to take a bath every day?" Zou Fan didn't understand. "It's good to wash once a month."

When he was alive, he only washed it once every six months!

You Ming: "..."

I wash it once a month. Fortunately, Zou Fan is a ghost now and doesn't need to take a bath.

Zou Fan is a very honest ghost. Jiang Yuan asked him to protect You Ming, and he never left him. He only left when You Ming was taking a shower or going to the toilet. At other times, he floated behind You Ming, but strangely, there was no one there. feel.

Completely different from Yuntong and Xiaofeng, he can completely hide his aura.

This is probably the skill of the old ghost, right?

You Ming flipped through the roster, pointed out the twelve ghosts he had never seen before, and asked Zou Fan about their origins.

Except for the three that You Ming had seen, the other nine were three females and six males.

Zou Fan didn't hide anything. He answered You Ming's questions very carefully. He even explained clearly what these ghosts did when they were alive, when they died, and how they died.

One of them caught You Ming's attention.

"His name is Kou Chuan." Zou Fan looked at the photo pointed by You Ming and recalled, "He came to join the boss by himself."

This Kou Chuan's origin is what he said himself, Zou Fan didn't understand, so he could only relay the information that Kou Chuan had told them before.

Kou Chuan died 300 years ago. That year happened to be the year when Wu Zetian was seriously ill. Zhongzong had not yet been restored. According to him, he was still a young master at that time, because he supported Zhongzong and died unexpectedly.

The truth can no longer be tested, and history books will not record these little people.

"That's the only time he said it?" You Ming looked at Zou Fan.

Zou Fan nodded: "I only said that one time, he didn't want to mention things before his death, and we wouldn't ask."

A person who was happy before his death would not become a ghost, so why bother digging out his scars once?They don't want to say it themselves, and they won't force other ghosts to say it. This is probably the tacit understanding of the underworld.

You Ming pondered for a while and asked, "Do you know him?"

Zou Fan shook his head: "After becoming a ghost, I prefer to be alone, unless there is something important."

You Ming: "Why did you follow Jiang Yu'an?"

Zou Fan almost didn't want to say: "He is the most powerful I have ever seen."

Humans have a strong admiration mentality, and of course ghosts also have them.

It will be safer and more comfortable to follow the strong, this is the subconscious mind.

You Ming asked him: "Then do you think Kou Chuan is the same as you?"

Zou Fan hesitated for the first time, with a puzzled expression on his face: "I don't know."

You Ming looked at him.

Zou Fan: "I don't know him well, and I don't know what he thinks, but he is lazy."

"He seldom appears in the underworld, and prefers to stay in the underworld. He always says that he has a lot of things to do."

Zou Fan: "Since you have become a ghost, you should do your best to be a ghost. Unless necessary, why do you have to go to the underworld?"

Zou Fan is very self-conscious about being a ghost. He hasn't been to the underworld a few times since he became a ghost.

So he felt that ghosts should be the same as himself, with a sense of responsibility. Since he was dead, he should be a ghost in a down-to-earth manner, and stop thinking about returning to the world of living people.

You Ming smiled and said, "Got it, thank you, you have worked hard to stay with me during this time."

Zou Fan's face was calm, and the scar on his face looked extremely stable: "Boss ordered, don't thank me."

The mahjong-loving ghost recovered faster than You Ming imagined.

Zou Fan brought the ghost in front of You Ming, and after regaining consciousness, the strange blush on the ghost's cheeks disappeared, and the pupils of the eyes reappeared, no different from ordinary ghosts, with the same gloomy spirit and pale skin.

You Ming sat on the grand teacher's chair and said to the ghost: "Please sit down, what's your name?"

The mahjong ghost still doesn't know what happened, he didn't lose all his memory after losing his sanity.

"My name is Li Xun." The mahjong ghost was a little nervous.

You Ming smiled and said, "My surname is You, You Ming."

Li Xun suddenly realized something, and asked strangely, "Are you alive?"

You Ming nodded.

Li Xun was taken aback: "Then why are you in the underworld?"

You Ming smiled and said, "It's a long story."

Li Xun sat upright, waiting to hear You Ming's story.

However, You Ming was not prepared to speak, he said: "Do you still remember who made you lose your mind?"

Li Xun wondered, "I lost my sanity? What do you mean?"

You Ming put it another way: "Before you wake up this time, what is your last memory?"

Li Xun: "I remember I was in the movie theater, hey! Being a ghost is very interesting. You don't need to buy a ticket to watch a movie. You can fly if you want. I only took a private jet after I died, and I went abroad to play. Being a ghost is comparable. Much better as a human being.”

"I was watching "Cheetah" at the time, and it was so well shot! I can watch it again, but the actor is a bit silly, and I wanted to rate it online, but it was inconvenient because I couldn't go online."

"When I was alive, I was as busy as a dog with mortgages and car loans. Enjoying life is bullshit."

"I didn't feel the joy of life until I died."

Li Xun was a chatterbox, he had never met a living person who could see ghosts, and he didn't have any ghost friends. After finding out that You Ming was a living person and could see himself again, Li Xun couldn't stop talking.

And You Ming didn't interrupt him either.

After Li Xun said he was happy, You Ming asked, "Are there any other ghosts in the cinema?"

Li Xun nodded: "Yes, there are quite a few. They all complain that they can't eat popcorn when they become ghosts. What's the fun in watching movies without drinking Coke and eating popcorn?"

You Ming: "Then do you still remember if there were any ghosts that were different from other ghosts? Or were there any people who were different from others?"

Li Xun shook his head: "I don't remember, all my attention was focused on the movie at that time."

Is the clue broken from Li Xun?

You Ming frowned slightly.

At this time Zou Fan suddenly said: "I know a ghost who can find out what other ghosts have seen and heard."

You Ming and Li Xun looked at him together.

Before You Ming could speak, Li Xun said excitedly, "Wow! So handsome! He should be in a superhero movie!"

"It must be cool enough!" Li Xun's eyes were full of energy. If he only looked at his eyes, he would not be able to tell that he had died a long time ago and was now a ghost.

Zou Fan didn't even look at Li Xun. He had seen a lot of new ghosts like this, and they were all about the same. He felt that being a ghost was better than being a human. He would not know until they had been ghosts for a long time. How important it is to be a human Lucky thing.

There are countless variables in a person's life, but ghosts do not. Humans have a past and future, but ghosts do not.

The seemingly endless life is actually countless days of fear and fear.

The ghost that Zou Fan mentioned was a ghost of a spirit.

The souls of goblins generally do not enter the underworld. After all, goblins have practiced for hundreds of thousands of years in order to cultivate human bodies.

What You Ming was going to meet was the ghost of a dryad.

It is more difficult for a tree to become a spirit than an animal, and the lifespan of a tree is longer. Generally, only in the deep mountains and old forests where there is no human habitation can an old tree become a spirit, and this requires luck, not enough time to become a spirit, but an opportunity.

Dryads also have a long lifespan. Once they become spirits, they can cultivate into a human body, and their lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary monsters.

Dryads live in the underworld where there are no ghosts.

Zou Fanpiao led the way. Li Xun had not been a ghost for a long time. He was trained as soon as he became a ghost, so he was not used to floating, so he walked with You Ming. A feeling of being unable to step on the ground, especially unsteady."

After walking all the way, Li Xun talked nonsense all the way.

You Ming felt a little annoying.

The dryad lives in the tree house, and the huge dead tree is particularly conspicuous in the underworld without plants.

Zou Fan knocked on the wooden door of the tree house, and a hoarse old voice came from inside: "Who?"

Zou Fan: "I, Zou Fan."

The dryad opened the door.

The old man who appeared in front of You Ming had no hair or beard, loose skin, wrinkles all over his face and body, abnormally thin, and gray-brown skin, he was clearly not a human being when he was alive.

"What are you doing here?" The Dryad narrowed his eyes, which made him look a bit cunning.

Zou Fan turned sideways, and the tree spirit saw You Ming and Li Xun.

The Dryad's gaze stayed on You Ming: "A living person?"

You Ming: "My name is You Ming."

Zou Fan also introduced: "This is my boss' lover."

The Dryad nodded confusedly: "Oh, the relationship between you guys is quite complicated, shouldn't you call him sister-in-law?"

Zou Fan also said solemnly: "You are right."

Dryad: "Come in and sit down, I don't have any ghosts here, and I haven't seen anyone for many years."

Zou Fan, You Ming and the others walked in. The furnishings in the tree house were very simple. All the furniture was made of wood without any decoration. It was very simple and natural. Li Xun said to the tree spirit: "This ghost has been refined, we need his memory when he was refined."

The tree spirit looked at Li Xun: "No wonder his breath is so strange."

Dryads recognize people by smell, not smell. Just as trees look the same to humans, people also look the same in the eyes of Dryads. After a long time, Dryads finally found a way to recognize humans.

Li Xun looked at the tree spirit excitedly, grinned and said, "I think we are making a movie."

"It would be great if it could be filmed. My life is not very good, but ghost life is quite magnificent. It will definitely be well received and popular. Maybe it will get a high score on the movie website."

He was very active in imagining, but You Ming said to the tree spirit: "If you are willing to help, you can ask for anything, and I will not shirk what I can do."

The tree spirit smiled and said, "What else do you want to be a ghost? Since I didn't choose to reincarnate, I don't want anything."

You Ming pursed his lips.

"But I can help you," said the Dryad again.

You Ming looked up.

The dryad looked at You Ming and smiled, with a cunning look on his face: "Don't look at me as a tree, I also like interesting things."

"A tree is old and its heart is not old. The old tree still has time to bloom." The tree spirit looked at You Ming and asked wickedly, "Did I scare you just now? The disappointed looks of you humans are very interesting. All your expressions interesting."

Li Xun didn't know what he was going to face. When he saw a bucket of slime placed in the middle of the tree house, the whole ghost was in a bad mood. He said with disgust, "I really have to lie down in it." Is this pot of snot bad? Is there no other way?"

Dryad: "No."

Li Xun: "Then I'd better not retrieve my memory, I'm afraid I'll be drowned by snot."

Zou Fan said on the side: "You are already dead, you will not drown."

Li Xun: "...I'm just making an analogy, I know I won't drown."

Seeing that Li Xun really didn't want to lie down in it, You Ming asked aside, "Don't you want to go back to Yangjian to watch it again? You can watch a few more movies."

Li Xun's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? You're not lying to me? I still want to watch Wonder Woman, but I only saw the promo last time!"

You Ming: "As long as you help me, I'll take you to see it, and I can cast spells to make you drink Coke and eat popcorn."

This temptation is too great. Li Xun felt that even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu could not resist such a temptation. He stared at You Ming and said seriously: "You can't regret it. If you do what you say, you can't lie to me. If you If you even lie to ghosts, then you have no conscience!"

You Ming looked into Li Xun's eyes and said seriously: "I never lie."

Li Xun curled his lips: "You are telling a lie, there is no one in this world who hasn't told a lie."

You Ming: "If you believe it, what I said is not a lie. If you don't believe it, it is a lie."

The words were too convoluted, and Li Xun had to repeat them before he realized it. Finally, he chose to walk into the wooden barrel filled with the green viscous liquid. He crouched inside and said uncomfortably, "This feeling is absolutely amazing!"

But as soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly became silent. He looked like a corpse in the green mucus, his eyes were wide open, and his tongue stuck out. It looked funny and weird.

The dryad floated directly above Li Xun, and he slowly exhaled a mouthful of green mist.

The mist did not diffuse, but gathered together. You Ming saw in the mist a deeper memory that was forgotten by Li Xun.

You Ming didn’t know the man in the picture. He was wearing a black wide-brimmed hat. He stood in front of the ghosts and held a bell in his hand. Even in the depths of memory, Li Xun's realization is concentrated on the bell, and the sense of fear can be revealed through the picture.

"Find the blood beads."

"Kill You Ming, the owner of the blood beads."

"Bring the blood drop to me."

The green mist dissipated quickly.

Zou Fan: "This voice sounds familiar."

You Ming turned his head: "Have you heard of it? But it's obviously not a ghost, it's a human being."

Zou Fan also fell into deep thought: "I don't remember, but it sounds familiar."

You Ming sighed: "Since I still don't know who is behind the scenes, I will trouble you."

Zou Fan looked at You Ming.

"Tell the ghosts other than you and Xiaofeng Yuntong that I am in the underworld and the blood beads are on my hands."

"Since we can't find him, we can only wait for him to find us."

Zou Fan bowed his head: "Okay."

When Jiang Yuan came back at night, You Ming told him his thoughts while taking a shower.

There is no shower room here, only a bathtub, and it is inconvenient to change the water. You Ming soaked in the bathtub, thanking himself for his good hygiene habits. If he can’t soak for 2 minutes, he should change the water.

Jiang Yu'an sat beside him, crossed his hands, propped his chin, and stared at You Ming with dark eyes. Although he could only see two arms, he had almost figured it out.

"Look at the roster next to you." You Ming leaned against the side of the barrel, turned his head to look at Jiang Yu'an, and seeing Jiang Yu'an's eyes, he knew that this ghost was thinking about something below the neck again.

After being reminded by You Ming, Jiang Yu'an noticed the register on the table. This register was a thread-bound book. He didn't even remember who got the register. He only remembered that he didn't read it after getting it out. Jiang Yu'an didn't have an approximate number in his mind of how many ghosts he had under his command.

The ghost is willing to follow him, and he has no objection.

He didn't care if he didn't want to follow him, since he never thought about being a ghost king from the beginning.

"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Yu'an's voice was very gentle.

If Zou Fan heard it, his jaw would probably drop in shock.

Jiang Yu'an has never been so gentle to them.

You Ming: "Kou Chuan, do you have any impression?"

Jiang Yu'an: "No."

You Ming: "..."

You Ming couldn't laugh or cry: "Anyway, it's a rare thousand-year-old ghost, you don't have the slightest impression?"

Jiang Yu'an shook his head, and said seriously: "Before I asked Xiaofeng and the others to protect you, I didn't even have an impression of them."

You Ming: "You don't remember any of them?"

Jiang Yu'an thought for a while: "Zou Fan is one of them."

"I saw him when I just woke up."

Jiang Yu'an thought about it, and only remembered that Zou Fan was lying on the side of the abyss with all his body thrown down at that time.

He has no memory of when he just died.

You Ming stood up, this is good in the underworld, as long as you don't touch the water, there will be no water stains on your body, you Ming can directly put on clothes when you stand up, you don't need to find a bath towel to wipe, You Ming is wearing Jiang Yu'an's robe , a bit like a bathrobe, a belt can be tied.

In fact, You Ming thinks that it is quite convenient for men's ancient clothes not to wear the inner garment but only cover the outer one.

Think about it, kilts are still worn by men. I heard that they don’t wear underwear when they wear skirts. When the wind blows, the scene is very hot.

You Ming stood behind Jiang Yu'an, his smell enveloped Jiang Yu'an's entire ghost.

Jiang Yu'an didn't have a sense of smell before, so he didn't know what kind of smell You Ming had, but now that he knew it, it was no different from what he imagined.

Everyone has their own smell, as long as it is not body odor, it is generally difficult to describe whether it smells good or bad. Jiang Yu'an turned his head and hugged You Ming's waist. He maintained his sitting posture and buried his head in You Ming's arms , breathing almost hungrily.

He doesn't know how others are, but he loves the smell of You Ming to death.

The best fragrance of love in this world is the smell of the lover, without any pretense, the natural smell.

You Ming didn't understand what Jiang Yu'an was going to do, he was dazed for a few seconds before suddenly pushing Jiang Yu'an away, and said excitedly: "Are you breathing?!"

Jiang Yu'an smiled wryly, "Is now the time to discuss this?"

It's a pity that You Ming didn't understand the style, he stretched out his hand: "Is there a heartbeat?"

He pressed his hand on Jiang Yu'an's chest, and the heart that had just started beating was beating powerfully under his hand, the speed was getting faster and faster, like a drum beating in his ear, You Ming glanced at Jiang Yu'an, Jiang Yu'an's eyes doubled. His eyes were deep, and there was an unconcealable tenderness in his eyes.

You Ming suddenly felt that his voice was a little hoarse, and quickly changed the subject: "Have you ever suspected that who would be the traitor?"

"Who revealed the matter of the blood beads? As long as we find the traitor, we can figure out who is behind it."

"I suspect that the attempt to snatch the blood beads from my hand was done by the same person or ghost as in the previous game."

"Maybe not just one, but a gang." You Ming looked at Jiang Yu'an with a serious and serious tone, trying his best to break the ambiguous atmosphere just now.

Jiang Yu'an held You Ming's hand, which was warm and dry, and he said, "We will find out, we are not the ones who are anxious now."

Jiang Yu'an smiled and said: "You are in the underworld, they can't find you in the underworld, so of course they will come to the underworld to find you."

"There is a part of me in the house." Jiang Yu'an kissed the back of You Ming's hand, "As long as you are in the house, no one can hurt you."

You Ming: "You still go and do your own thing, you're here, even if they want to, they won't dare to move."

"Yeah." Jiang Yu'an closed her eyes and leaned back on the chair, "Yuntong and Xiaofeng are outside, I'll ask them to come back to accompany you immediately, if someone wants to do something, they will only lead you out of the house."

"I will come back if I feel something is wrong."

You Ming nodded: "OK."

Although Jiang Yu'an is a ghost and doesn't need to eat or sleep, You Ming just thinks that he looks tired.

You Ming really wanted to persuade Jiang Yu'an to take a rest, but You Ming also knew very well that as long as the threat from the three ghost kings was still there, they would never be able to rest.

"It will be over soon." Jiang Yu'an smiled at You Ming.

You Ming nodded: "I hope so."

There is no day and night in the underworld, You Ming can only sleep and get up according to the time in the yang world, and when the curtains in the room are drawn, it will be night. You Ming was not asleep when Jiang Yuan left, he opened his eyes and watched Jiang Yuan leave.

But in the next two days, You Ming didn't wait for anyone or ghosts who wanted to grab the blood beads. There was nothing unusual, so he could only continue to wait patiently.

On the third day, You Ming was eating lunch, and Zou Fan was floating behind him. The lunch was bought by Zou Fan in Yangjian, with the money You Ming gave him, and it was very rich. There were three dishes and one soup. It feels like a waste if you can't finish eating, and there is no pot and stove here to keep it hot.

"Can I buy that set meal next time? Please." You Ming asked Zou Fan.

Zou Fan nodded. He seldom goes to Yangjian. He doesn’t remember when he went there last time. In the past few days, he went to buy food for You Ming. up.

"Yes." Zou Fan nodded.

You Ming took a sip of the soup, but before he could swallow it, he heard a strange bell ringing in his ear.

The ringtone was not pleasant, but it was very ethereal. The sound seemed to be right next to his ears, luring him to follow it.
