Chapter 283 Huangquan Inn
I looked at him carefully and saw the middle-aged uncle wearing black clothes, with a haggard appearance, messy hair, and blood-colored face. Although there was no expression on his face, the look he looked at me seemed a little strange.
But the middle-aged uncle didn't care about so many. He took out two dark red fruits like mountain grapes from his body, twisted one with his hand, gently placed it beside his mouth, squinted his eyes slightly, and sucked it hard, and the dark red fruit melted like a squirt of red smoke and rushed into his mouth in an instant. Gradually, his face felt comfortable as if smoking big smoke.
"Young man, I'll give you one too. After eating this, you will be much more energetic. Don't be depressed. Isn't it just death? Which one in this world won't die? What a big deal..."
As he said that, he raised his hand and threw a red fruit to me. I opened my mouth in surprise. Before I could react, I felt that the fruit was falling on my mouth. I was shocked. The fruit turned into a cold air and penetrated into my mouth. Suddenly, a very cool breath fell straight into my stomach along my throat. I felt a sense of relaxation and refreshment, and my mind was refreshed. It was an indescribable feeling of comfort.
"What's this thing? Why does it look like I've drunk Sprite..." I murmured.
"Sprite? Haha..." He looked at me and said, "This one is called Qingming Fruit. It's one of the rare good things. If you can eat one, it's a good luck... By the way, how did you die?"
He asked casually as if he was casually inadvertently, but when he mentioned the word "death", my heart trembled, and sighed heavily, murmured: "I don't know how I died, suicide? He killed? Accident? Well, it should be an accident, it was really an accident..."
He squinted his eyes and nodded, saying, "That doesn't matter anymore. As long as it's not a suicide, you don't think too much. Stay here for seven days and you don't have to worry anymore."
"Seven days? What does it mean? Can I go back in seven days?" I asked in surprise.
"Go back? You're dreaming. Don't you know that a person will be considered a real ghost after seven days of death? During these seven days, it can be said that it is your transition period. After seven days, you will adapt, or you will die thoroughly."
He spoke calmly, like he was casually telling people stories, but when I heard this, I immediately felt a little horrified, with a look of frustration, and silently bowed my head and said nothing.
He suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, it's a good fortune for you to meet me here. If you have the fate, you can stay here for seven days. Then, I'll send you away. This is not a place you should stay for a long time."
"Send me away? Where to send me?" I asked again, with a slight cold light in his eyes. He turned around and looked at me, and said coldly: "Huangquan Road."
"Then, can you tell me, this place is the place and who are you?" I still couldn't help asking loudly, because I still felt familiar with this person. I dare to swear, I must have seen him.
He paused, stared at me straight, and for a while without saying anything, he finally turned around and walked out.
My expression became dark, but I heard his voice coming in from outside.
"This is the legendary Huangquan Inn."
His voice gradually faded away, and I hurriedly chased out, but as soon as I ran to the door, I saw his figure slowly disappearing into the faint mist in front of me and could no longer be seen.
Huangquan Inn, I muttered silently in my heart, my brows were already twisted into a big bump, but suddenly I remembered something. I quickly looked up and saw a desolate dirt road ahead, with wilderness and mounds on both sides. The sky was still low and dark clouds were covered with dark clouds.
This scene is so familiar!
I hurriedly looked back and saw the small wooden house behind me standing alone in the wilderness. There was a red lantern hanging at the door. Although there was no wind around, the lantern swayed slightly, looking gloomy and weird.
this……
I suddenly remembered that on the night when I first met the cat slave, I was covered in blood. Then I met the Huangquan Ferryman and took his car home. Then there was a middle-aged uncle sitting in the car. The Huangquan Ferryman took him to a strange place before sending me back...
By the way, isn’t all the scenes here, including this hut, the place I came to that day?!
I was shocked, and I opened my eyes wide and looked carefully. I saw that there was indeed a black plaque hanging on the small house with four dim words on it, which read: Huangquan Inn.
So that's it. It turns out that this is also a place connected to the world. If that's the case, does that mean that I can find the Huangquan Ferryman and ask him to come here to pick me up?
I felt excited and shouted loudly regardless of everything: "Uncle, uncle, I remember, Huangquan Ferryman, Conan, uncle..."
However, I jumped and shouted for a long time, without even a sound in the wilderness, and no one responded. I suppressed this uncontrollable mood and desperately recalled the mysterious symbol that summoned the Huangquan Ferryman in my mind. I started to draw on the ground in a hurry.
But I never succeeded in this mysterious symbol at the beginning. At this time, I was so excited that I even painted it in a mess. I drew it for a long time, but I didn't feel the reaction at all, and it was still a failure.
Of course, this time I must not give up or be discouraged. Now I deeply feel that the biggest reason for any person's failure is that they are not persistent enough. If I could persist more at the beginning, maybe I would have mastered the method of this symbol long ago, so how could it be so difficult?
As I was making up my mind to continue experimenting, a cold voice suddenly sounded next to me: "What's your name?"
"My name is Han Qingtian..." I replied subconsciously, but then I was stunned. I immediately looked up and saw that the uncle was standing next to me, with his hands behind his back, looking at me expressionlessly.
"What I said is, what are you calling here? Not asking what your name is..." He saw me looking up at him and added with a calm face.
I was so happy. After coming to this ghost place for a long time, my mood finally got better. I stood up and smiled at him and said, "Uncle, we have met you, you won't forget it, right? Let me tell you the truth. I am not dead, but somehow, my soul has arrived at this place. I think since I am not dead, I should find a way to go back. I want to ask you to help me and summon the Huangquan ferryman to pick me up here. I am very familiar with him. Look..."
The more I said, the less the voice became. The uncle stared at me half-deadly, as if he had seen a ghost. I simply closed my mouth and said in a sinister voice: "Since you have come here, don't rush to leave. I will help you with this matter, but you have to wait. You must know that my place is not something that can be left as soon as you say you want."
"Then...how long do I have to wait? I have a lot of people outside to do..." I asked hurriedly, and he looked up at the sky and spit out two words: "Three days."
"Three days? It's too long. I'm afraid that people outside mistakenly think I'm really dead. If I cremated again, I'll be homeless..."
He looked at me again, but a strange smile appeared on his face and said, "If you didn't eat that fruit, it might be easier to go back, but now you have to wait for three days."
"Why? What exactly is that fruit?" I asked in surprise. He did not answer me directly, but said something that made me creepy.
"That's a good thing, only ghosts can eat, but now, you have to wait three days before you can go back, otherwise your body will truly die, so you can only listen to me, you can't go anywhere, stay here, and wait for me to come back."
After saying that, he turned around and left again, but this time, he never looked back.
I stared blankly into the distance, watched him gradually disappear, suddenly fell to the ground, and my heart gradually sank.
Why is this happening? Could it be that I can only sit here for three days?
I was trapped in deep thoughts, holding my head tightly with my hands, and countless thoughts flashed through my mind.
No, no, things are probably not that simple. Although this uncle doesn't look like a bad person, he gives me a very strange feeling. Especially, I don't know at all where this Huangquan Inn is. If I continue to stay here, I don't know what will happen next.
For three days, it is better to think of a solution yourself than to wait.
Besides, I can't guarantee what earth-shaking changes will happen in the three days of the world. If I go out at that time, I'm afraid everything will be too late.
Huangquan Inn, Huangquan Inn... I murmured several times, and suddenly my whole body trembled. A story my grandfather told when he was a child suddenly came to my mind.
