The Taste of Ghosts in the World

When Qi Mu came home from school, the two ghosts at home were teasing Dahei. The female ghost with a severed head was standing on one side of the living room, throwing her head out and letting Dahei pick it up. black attention.

However, under the circumstances that the third party was unwilling to cooperate, this game quickly became an ordinary passing sport, one tossed and one caught, and it was played with gusto.

So when Qi Mu opened the door, the first thing he saw was a picture of a bloody dead head flying around in the room. The two ghosts were obviously having fun, and it didn't matter whether the master came back or not. Mu uttered a voice to stop it but failed, so he stood in the middle and slapped the head on the ground, and stomped on it in disbelief, and the horrific farce stopped.

"You haven't left yet?"

The dead ghost smiled honestly: "We are waiting for you to come back."

Qi Mu suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't vent his anger, "What are you waiting for me?"

"We're not leaving, we plan to stay."

The voice came from under Qi Mu's feet, and he was startled before realizing that it was the head on the ground who was speaking.

The decapitated female ghost came over and picked up her own head, and continued: "My father and I were finally reunited, and we want to spend more time together."

"Whatever you want." Qi Mu waved his hand, put down his schoolbag and added: "But don't drag me into it."

The decapitated female ghost immediately announced: "We want to live in your house."

Qi Mu frowned and said, "My house is not a hotel, so I can live here if I want? Do you think that being with two ghosts every day is relatively good for your health?"

The female ghost scolded: "You just have the heart to let our father and daughter be homeless and slaughtered?!"

"Eldest sister, you need to figure it out, you father and daughter are ghosts now, it's fine if you don't scare people, how could you be slaughtered by living people?"

Seeing Qi Mu's displeasure, the dead ghost quickly intervened and said, "Girl, we are begging others, please speak carefully." Then he said to Qi Mu: "Recently, the activities of the Celestial Master have become more frequent. I'm worried about accidents when I'm always outside, so I'm the only one, but I can't bear to part with my daughter...Look, why don't we go around during the day and come back at night?"

Stared at by his simple and sincere eyes, even though they were covered with sticky blood stains, Qi Mu really couldn't say "no", so he nodded in agreement, but the condition was not to show his appearance casually.

He said this because he knows that ghosts can hide their bodies, just like ghosts who killed them and disappeared quietly on the night they met the celestial master. Not visible.Those legends of ghost encounters at night are because many ghosts think that it is not easy to be seen at night, so they are too lazy to hide, and they happen to be bumped into by some people with supernatural physiques.

The two parties reached an agreement, and the father and daughter ghosts officially moved in.

After dinner, Qi Mu took Dahei out for a walk as usual. The beheaded female ghost was very interested and insisted on following. If she followed, the uncle who killed the ghost would naturally not stay.After thinking about it, Qi Mu took them out together.

This time he didn't go to Longhu Square, but took a detour and walked along the shore of Longhu, because just now he suddenly remembered the hanged ghost who hadn't seen him for a long time, and he promised to visit him last time, and today was just right.

After walking for a while, Qi Mu realized that he couldn't find the location of the hanged ghost. What tree was it last time he saw it?There seemed to be an infinite number of trees... and they all looked exactly the same to him.

If it doesn't work, go back.

As soon as this thought flashed across my mind, I heard someone say, "Are you really here?"

Qi Mu looked towards the source of the sound, the hanged ghost was sitting on a treetop smiling at him, he subconsciously smiled back.

The hanged ghost came down lightly, and his tone was filled with joy, "I thought you wouldn't come. I met a kid here ten years ago. When he left, he said he would come to talk to me, but he never showed up again. .”

Looking at his expression, Qi Mu felt a little guilty for no reason, and made up a reason: "He may...forgot."

Fortunately, the hanged ghost didn't pay attention to this clumsy lie, and just said lightly: "It seems that your memory is better than his."

Qi Mu didn't know how to continue this topic, so he had to divert his attention, "Aren't you a hanged ghost? How could you be so far away?"

The hanged ghost pointed to the rope around his neck, "Are you talking about this? The tree I hanged has been cut down a long time ago, and these are newly planted, so my range of activities is slightly larger, but I can't be more than 100 meters away from Longhu Lake .”

Qi Mu leaned over to look at the rope dragged behind him, sure enough, the end of the rope was broken, and it was not tied to the tree.

At this time, the hanged ghost found the two ghosts beside him, "Are they your friends?"

"Well, you can get to know each other and pass the time together in the future."

The dead ghost hurriedly said: "Hello, hello, this is my daughter."

The hanged ghost nodded, turned to Qi Mu and said, "Thank you."

Qi Mu blinked uncomfortably, "Don't thank me, I'm sharing trouble with you."

The beheaded female ghost suddenly pulled the dead ghost and said, "Dad, there is a lake here! Do you think it will float if I put my head in it?"

"I don't know, why don't you try?"

Qi Mu just wanted to remind them that the ghost's head could not touch the lake water, and they had already floated on the lake with great interest.

"Look." Qi Mu spread his hands, indicating that the two ghosts are as troublesome as he said just now, the hanged ghost smiled, and cast his eyes on Dahei at his feet.

"Actually, I wanted to tell you last time, this dog doesn't seem to be an ordinary dog..."

"Did you see it?" Qi Mu patted Dahei's head, "Isn't it strange, why is he called Dahei even though he is a golden retriever?"

"So...indeed..."

"There are two souls in Dahei's body, which were originally fused very well, but recently it seems to be unstable, and I often see a little double image."

The hanged ghost asked in surprise, "Why are there two?"

Qi Mu smiled faintly, "The first time I saw Dahei was at the station in front of the school. At that time, I saw a black Tibetan mastiff squatting there, and I felt very strange. Why is such a precious dog so neglected? I thought its owner nearby.

But then I found out that every time I pass by, I can see it, squatting obediently, and never paying attention to people.I brought some food to feed it, but it didn’t eat, but after a long time, it gradually became close to me, willing to let me touch it, and would run over when it saw me. I spent a long time after school. Time to play with it.Until one day, when I was grooming it, a classmate who knew me saw me coming out late, and asked, what are you doing here alone?I patted Dahei, and he actually asked me, what does that gesture mean?Do you want him to sit down too?

I understood right away, that day I sat next to Dahei for a long time before going back.After passing by the station and seeing it, I no longer get close to it. Dahei is very smart and seems to know what I mean. Every time he sees me, he runs over and walks with me for a short distance, and runs away silently when he reaches the school gate. "

The hanged ghost was silent for a while, then asked again: "The other soul...?"

"After a while, when I was out of school, I found a big dirty dog ​​beside Dahei. I thought it was a ghost body, but I found that the cleaner would drive it away with a broom when cleaning. I heard that dogs can see ghosts. It also seems to be able to see Dahei, they are always together, I can't help feeding it. This dog seems to have some brain problems, stupid, and is often almost hit by a car, so no one wants even a golden retriever. One day when I went to feed it, I saw Dahei walking into its body and then disappearing. I waited until dark and it didn’t come out, so I thought that Dahei should be attached to the golden retriever, so I took them back to raise them. "

"Interesting, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing." The hanged ghost said with emotion.

Qi Mu stood up and said, "It's not early today, I'm going back."

"Come back next time." The hanged ghost floated up the treetops again.

Qi Mu pointed to the two on the lake, and said to him, "If you're lonely, let them play with you."

"Okay." The hanged ghost smiled.

Qi Mu dragged Dahei back leisurely, and heard the hanged ghost shouting behind him: "He's leaving, what do you guys do?"

The dead ghost screamed, pulled his daughter to catch up, and said to the hanged ghost on the treetop: "We will come to visit tomorrow!"

"it is good."

On the way back, the decapitated female ghost kept talking about how good the living environment was and how superior the natural conditions were, so Qi Mu said: "Since it is so good, you should go live with him. Anyway, there are so many trees, the bedroom and the Separate living room is enough for you."

The decapitated female ghost restrained herself a little.

Going home and turning on the TV is the news station. The recent headless female corpse gang crime was just halfway through the broadcast. The criminal accomplices have been arrested. After investigation, this is a drug cartel. The head was also found, and it will be cremated together with the body as soon as possible..."

The news did not mention the photos provided by Qi Mu, and the beheaded female ghost said next to her: "I thought the case of my dad being killed a year ago was very strange, and it took me a long time to investigate secretly before I found out about this group of people. My dad was mistaken for hearing something because he bumped into their joint, and the car accident was just a premeditated murder, but I just checked the warehouse and was discovered..."

"Anyway, this case is finally resolved." Qi Mu turned off the TV, finally letting go.

Qi Mu led Dahei out of the "Baby Be Good" pet store. Dahei's collar was worn out, so he came to buy a new one.

This pet shop is the closest to home, and it doesn't take much time to go back and forth. The only disadvantage is that it is located in a small alley, so it's hard to find. Qi Mu found that it was purely because he got lost, and when he walked around, he saw the cartoon dog on the sign.

After buying the collar, he went back along the way he came from, and Dahei suddenly stopped while walking, and a voice came from a small shop by the side of the road: "Brother over there, are you interested in coming in and having a sit?"

Qi Mu's first reaction was—Miss is soliciting business?

But the voice was not only very old, but also a man, which immediately made him dispel this idea.

Turning around to look, the small shop was dark, and there was a table with a yellow tablecloth in the door, on which was written "fortune-telling and divination, only ten yuan", and behind the table sat a thin old man with a sparse chin. His goatee makes him look a little dodgy.

It was the old man who called just now, seeing that he didn't respond, the old man waved to him again: "Little brother, come in and sit for a while, this old man will give you a fortune."

Qi Mu glanced at him, then lowered his head, and led Dahei to continue walking.

"Hey, it's only ten yuan, very cheap!"

Qi Mu ignored him.

"I see that you have been haunted by evil spirits recently. If you don't care, your life may be in danger!"

Qi Mu still turned a deaf ear and walked forward.

"Hey—your dog is about to die, and you don't care?"

Qi Mu finally stopped, "Are you really about to leave your soul?"

The old man nodded, "I don't think it will last more than ten days."

Qi Mu's heart sank, and he asked, "Is there anything you can do?"

The old man waved, "Come in, come in and say."
