C4

After muddleheaded and muddleheaded for a week, it was finally Saturday. We didn't need to go to class, so Su Ye and I decided to lie down with our corpses in the dorm.

I slept until around 12: 00 in the morning, when the sun shone through the glass doors of the balcony and onto my bed. Gradually, I began to feel the heat and could only mutter as I got out of bed and tried to pull the curtain shut.

Su Ye rubbed her eyes and lied down to start patting her phone. Suddenly, she bounced up from the bed and excitedly said to us, "It's the Chinese Festival, let's go shopping tonight."

"Yu Xing, go ahead. I've never been to the Ghost Festival before, so it must be fun." After changing his clothes, Luo Li stuck her head out as well.

"Alright, alright, alright. Ladies and gentlemen, can't I go?" I helplessly agreed.

"You have backbone," Su Ye gave me a thumbs up, and I grinned at her.

After dinner, Su Ye and I, along with Luo Li, went to the plaza in the carriage. It was said that there would be a Ghost Festival performance tonight, and the plaza was already filled with people, some of them were releasing aperture lamp, and the lamps were filled with memories of the people who passed away.

The aperture lamp floated into the dark night sky, dotted with the silent night sky. They floated further and further away, like stars hanging in the sky, gradually disappearing into the stars.

Previously, I had always felt that offering sacrifices was just a spiritual entrustment of strangers. After one died, they would turn into dust, leaving nothing behind. However, after experiencing all those incredible events, I started to waver.

I looked at the sky in confusion, staring at the aperture lamp swaying in the wind in a daze, deep in thought.

"Hai, I got my soul back." Su Ye waved his hand in front of my eyes, causing me to retract my train of thoughts and look at her with suspicion.

"It's still too early for the show. Let's go for a stroll at the night market." Su Ye pulled me and Luo Li straight to the nearby brightly lit night market.

On both sides of the night market road were hawkers and peddlers, and because it was the Ghost Festival, many people on the street were selling river lanterns. They were extremely beautiful, attracting the attention of many young men and women.

Su Ye and the loli also pulled me over, and while looking at those river lanterns, Su Ye excitedly touched them, each of them giving out an extremely exaggerated sigh. She picked them again and again, holding two of them up, asking me which one looked better.

"There's no river around here. Why are you buying a river lamp?" I hit her mercilessly.

"I'm going to buy it and hang it in my dorm as a souvenir. Can you have some fun?" Su Ye answered me, he even stuck his tongue out, then turned his head to chat with the old man who sold things.

I smiled and scanned the bustling street. At a corner not far away, I saw an old granny setting up a stall with a red cloth in front of her. There was something for sale on the red cloth.

I don't know why, but I felt like there was a force pulling me towards her. Su Ye and Luo Li each held a river lamp as they followed me towards the old granny.

Su Ye and Luo Li had already squatted down. Su Ye took a glance and puzzledly asked the grandma: "Grandma, why are you selling red strings and bells? It's hard to sell these things."

"Little lady, I have something to pay attention to right now. These things are all things that can attract ghosts." The old granny's voice was hoarse and heavy, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.

"It is said that the King of Hell will open the gates to hell on this day, allowing those ghosts and wraiths that had been imprisoned in the Underworld to leave hell and wander the mortal world to enjoy the blood and food of the mortal world. "Thus, on this day, as long as you wear a red rope and a bell that can attract ghosts, you can connect the two realms of Yin and Yang and communicate with ghosts and spirits."

"Is it really that amazing?" Su Ye took out a bracelet made from a string of bells and tested it. She smiled in satisfaction, "Grandma, I want this."

I was about to stop her when she picked up another pair of identical bracelets. "And these ones."

"I don't want to wear it, I don't want to attract ghosts." After walking a distance, I broke away from Su Ye's hand that was trying to place the bracelet on my hand.

"You even believe that? This grandma made it up to make us buy her. Can you not be so cowardly?" Su Ye looked at me with disdain.

"This bracelet looks pretty good. It shouldn't be that strange." Just when Su Ye and I were at a stalemate, Luo Li had already put on her bracelet and was playing with the small bell on it.

"That's right, that's right." Su Ye agreed and quickly put the bracelet on my hand.

I caressed the bracelet for a long time but couldn't find anything wrong with it, so I gave up. I thought maybe I was too distracted from the past few days.

Suddenly, I felt a chill on my back and a cold breeze blew past. I reflexively turned around, but discovered that there was nothing behind me.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Luo Li screamed and pounced towards me, hugging onto me tightly without letting go. I looked at her in confusion.

Luo Li's hands trembled as she pointed to a corner with a face filled with fear. Her voice was soft and frightened.

I looked over and saw that the corner was empty, as if the old lady had never existed. I couldn't help wondering.

"I thought you met a ghost. It's almost 11 o'clock, so I'm sure you've packed up and gone home." Su Ye looked at Luo Li and me with disdain.

I had been feeling a little uneasy all day, but now, the unease in my heart was even more intense. I hurriedly said, "Let's go back. There's still a gate to the dorm room."

"Mhmm, let's go back." Luo Li cuddled up against me and nodded madly.

Su Ye gritted her teeth as she looked at the bustling street market and turned to leave with us, still unsatisfied.

We couldn't get a lift, so we had to walk back to the school. There was no one on the road, just the three of us stretched out on the road.

The three of us had our own thoughts but we did not interrupt along the way. Suddenly, Su Ye, who was walking in front, pulled us to a stop.

Luo Li and I looked at her doubtfully. Su Ye's face was pale, as though she was frightened, and spoke while looking at us with a serious face. "Didn't you notice?

I saw that Su Ye didn't seem to be joking, I frowned, could it be that I met a ghost wall?
