"you--"

Gu Rong stared at her face with wide eyes, and staggered back a few steps.

The woman looked at him and tilted her head, then squinted her eyes again, and stopped calling him Mr., but called him by his name directly: "Gu Rong."

After the woman called out his name, Gu Rong trembled all over his body, as if a big bell suddenly appeared in his head, someone hit him hard with a thick wooden stick, and then made a deafening bell, shaking his internal organs The six viscera were all blown away, as if even the spirit and spirit were washed away together.

"Gu Rong."

The woman continued calling his name.

Gu Rong's pupils dilated a little, he felt his body getting lighter, his thoughts were chaotic, and it was difficult to concentrate, as if he had lost his soul.

Shen Qiuji slept until midnight and woke up from the cold.

The moment he woke up from the cold, Shen Qiuji thought it was just like the time when he was a child. He slept halfway through and the air conditioner at home was stolen by a thief. It was completely healed after a month.

But after thinking about it again, Shen Qiuji felt that something was wrong, he is sleeping in a hotel now, it can't be that the air conditioner in Yunzhou Hotel is broken, right?

The ice cellar-like temperature seemed to be able to freeze everything, making Shen Qiuji's thinking slow as if it had been frozen. A few seconds after he opened his eyes, he realized that the chill came from him It came out of my arms.

And he held Gu Rong in his arms.

In the darkness, Shen Qiuji suddenly opened his eyes, his hands were still around Gu Rong's waist, the thin cloth couldn't stop the bursts of cold at all, like a glutton absorbing all the surrounding temperature.

As for the young man in his arms, his body was cold and stiff, Shen Qiuji felt as if he was holding an ice sculpture, he couldn't even feel Gu Rong's heartbeat, let alone hear his breathing.

"Gu Rong?" Shen Qiuji immediately got up, turned on the bedside lamp and looked at the young man beside him.

When his eyes fell on Gu Rong, Shen Qiuji almost stopped breathing.

Because there was a layer of frost hanging on Gu Rong's eyelashes, he was like a frozen corpse in the mortuary, all the redness and blood on his skin had faded away, stagnated in the blood vessels, making his whole body a frightening blue-purple color.

Fortunately, Gu Rong's heartbeat and breathing are still there, but they are very subtle, as weak as a candle that is about to be extinguished.

Rao Shen Qiuji, at this moment, was also frightened because he didn't understand, and his body was so frightened that even his outstretched fingers were trembling. He patted Gu Rong's cheek, trying to wake him up: "Gu Rong, wake up?"

Gu Rong didn't move at all.

Shen Qiuji then lifted the quilt off his body, looked at his ankles, and saw that the string of red string bells was also covered with frost, which was blocked by broken ice and could not ring.

I have long felt that this string of bells is unreliable!Sure enough.

Shen Qiuji gritted his teeth, and once wanted to tear off the string of bells to vent his anger, but in the end held back, he stretched out his hand to bite his index finger solemnly, touched a bloodstain on Gu Rong's forehead, and called his name in a deep voice: "Gu Rong velvet."

This review finally has an answer.

He slowly opened his eyes, first he looked at the front, then his eyeballs rolled around twice, one eyeball was still staring at the front, the other eyeball was looking sideways at Shen Qiuji.

Maintaining such an extremely weird posture, he asked Shen Qiuji: "...what's wrong?"

"Gu Rong."

Shen Qiuji didn't reply to him, but continued to call his name, raised his hand to make a palm, and patted Gu Rong's forehead heavily.

This palm was so powerful that Gu Rong shrunk a little distance towards the corner of the bed, but Gu Rong didn't cry out in pain, and his eyes stared blankly in different directions at all.

After a long while, he sat up slowly, raised his hand to rub the top of his head, and hummed with lowered eyes: "It hurts...why did you hit me?"

"Gu Rong, look up at me." Shen Qiuji didn't rub it for him, but pressed Gu Rong's shoulders with both hands and asked the young man to raise his face.

Gu Rong paused for a few more seconds, then slowly raised his head to look at the person.

Shen Qiuji looked into his eyes, and found that the eyeballs of this looking-back looker were normal, but apart from the normal eyeballs, nothing seemed to be right about him - his movements were sluggish and slow, his breathing and heartbeat were still weak, his body It was cold, and her skin was a bloodless snow-blue purple.

"Do you know who I am?" Shen Qiuji continued to ask him.

Gu Rong didn't speak, he seemed to need time to think, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You are Shen Qiuji."

"Do you know where you are now?"

"I'm here..." Gu Rong's eyes became more and more confused, and he opened his mouth behind him, thinking that he should have answered Shen Qiuji's question.

But in Shen Qiuji's ears, Gu Rong just uttered a series of nonsense nonsense.

Seeing this, Shen Qiuji didn't ask any more questions, and directly concluded: "You lost your soul."

However, Shen Qiuji didn't know whether Gu Rong could still understand his words, and what he didn't expect was that Gu Rong lost his soul.

Losing a soul is a big deal.

Generally speaking, only children are prone to losing their souls.

Because children are weak and their third eye is not closed, it is easy to see evil spirits.If a child sees the evil spirit, the spirit will easily leave the body and leave with the evil spirit.

Once the soul leaves the body, even if the child wakes up again, he will become dull and stupid. He doesn't even know his family members, and even has problems eating and drinking. He needs someone to take care of him, and he is no different from a walking dead.

Therefore, there is a folk profession called witches. If a child is scared away by evil spirits, or is taken away, the adults in the family will go to the witches to call for the soul of the lost child.

Only when the soul is called back can the child return to normal.

Gu Rong's soul probably left his body in his sleep, and then part of his soul was called back by him, while the other part lost his way, or was forcibly left elsewhere by someone, unable to come back.

But Shen Qiuji didn't understand why Gu Rong fell asleep so soundly that he lost his soul.

This matter is very serious, because after a person loses his soul, he will start to get sick. At the beginning, it may be a minor illness, such as fever and nightmares. In the later stage, it will be like a walking corpse, and finally become a corpse completely.

Shen Qiuji didn't dare to take care of her alone, so she quickly found Gu Rong's phone and looked for his mother's contact information - because the soul-calling ceremony can only be performed by blood relatives.

He used Gu Rong's mobile phone to dial the number, even though it was just five o'clock, the call was connected quickly.

"Hey?"

Gu Rong's mother's sleepy voice came from the speaker.

Shen Qiuji's voice was a little hoarse: "Excuse me, is this Gu Rong's mother?"

"I am." The sleepiness in Gu's mother's voice completely disappeared, "...you are?"

"I'm Fluffy's roommate Shen Qiuji, the one who called Auntie you before."

"Oh, I remember you." Gu's mother replied, and then she thought that the call was made at this time, and she was using Gu Rong's mobile phone, her tone suddenly became serious, and she tremblingly said, "What's wrong? Rong Rong Is something wrong?"

"Gu Rong, he..." Shen Qiuji's voice became more and more difficult. He felt that these feudal superstitions were not easy to talk about, but Gu's mother should know something about Gu Rong's situation, otherwise he would not have found someone to teach him when he was a child. Gu Rong's fortune-telling, let alone being so nervous, almost monitored Gu Rong's life, so that Gu Rong didn't even dare to tell his family when he went to the city hospital for surgery.

He was afraid that mother Gu would directly order him to go home and stay.

So Shen Qiuji took a deep breath, and said truthfully: "He lost his soul."

Having said the most difficult words, it will be easier to talk about the following things. Shen Qiuji couldn't believe that he could talk to Gu's mother in such a calm voice: "I need to find his mother to call for his soul. I can trouble you to come to Tan Do you want to go to the city?"

"I'll be right over." However, to Shen Qiuji's surprise, Gu's mother was nervous and flustered for a moment when she heard the news of Gu Rong's loss of soul, but when they talked about it, her tone was even worse than Shen Qiuji's. Be calm, "Where are you? Are you at school?"

"No, we're outside." Shen Qiuji said, "Can I use Gu Rong's phone to send you a location?"

Gu's mother didn't ask why they were not in school, but went outside, she just agreed, "Okay."

"Just tell the front desk my name when you come over, and the front desk will bring you here." Shen Qiuji was afraid that Gu's mother would think he was not polite enough, so she explained, "Gu Rong's situation is special now, and it's hard for me to leave him to pick him up. you."

"It's okay." Gu's mother sniffed, her voice was calm, but there was a hint of crying, "... Is Rong Rong okay now?"

Shen Qiuji was silent, then raised her eyes to look at Gu Rong.

The young man was sitting on the bed, looking at him obediently with his eyes open, without asking him why he took his mobile phone and why he called his mother. These complicated actions are hard for him to understand now, or he understands them. But it takes a long time to think about the sequence and meaning.

So now Gu Rong just pulled the quilt to wrap himself around his body, then slowly moved his legs close to Shen Qiuji, nestled himself into his arms, and muttered softly: "...It's cold."

Shen Qiuji raised her arms to hug him, rubbed his hands to try to warm him up, and at the same time replied: "The movements and thinking are very slow, but they can still recognize people."

"Okay..." Mother Gu also heard Gu Rong's voice, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "I've bought a plane ticket, and I should be there in about three hours."

Shen Qiuji replied to her: "Okay."

After finishing speaking, neither of them said any more, and hung up the phone together.

Shen Qiuji exited the communication interface, found Gu's mother's friend on WeChat, and sent her the location of the Yunzhou Hotel. After exiting, Shen Qiuji saw that a friend request popped up from Gu Rong's button—applicant The headshot of the application is a headless woman in a red cheongsam, and the application notes read: Yan Ping.

Thanks to eating melons all day in dormitory 419, Shen Qiuji still has some impressions of the name "Yan Ping", but he doesn't know why Yan Ping added Gu Rong. In his memory, Gu Rong and this girl There doesn't seem to be any connection.

But Shen Qiuji would not make decisions for Gu Rong, he ignored this friend, neither agreed nor rejected, turned off the screen of the phone as if he had never seen it before, took out a pen and paper and began to draw the utensils needed by the soul, and made After everything was prepared, he quietly waited for Gu's mother to arrive.

Gu's mother arrived at the Yunzhou Hotel around six o'clock in the morning.

It is winter now, the dawn is late, and it still feels like night when walking outside, and there is no light of dawn.

Coming with Gu's mother was a man who was five points similar to Gu Rong in appearance, but with tougher facial features and facial contours. Judging from his age, he should be the elder brother Gu Rong mentioned before.

The front desk of the hotel took the two of them to Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji's room.

When they came in, Shen Qiuji had just called the restaurant and asked them to bring over a bowl of porridge, and was feeding Gu Rong breakfast.

So after Gu's mother and Gu Rong's brother entered the room, the first thing they saw was Gu Rong sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt with a dull expression. After a short pause, he lowered his head and ate the porridge quietly.

Shen Qiuji feeds a spoonful, and he eats a spoonful, very well-behaved.

Gu's mother ran directly in Gu Rong's direction, holding Gu Rong's face to check the current situation of the young man.

The cold temperature of the tentacles made Gu's mother's heart tremble, but when she saw that Gu Rong was still breathing with her eyes open, she smiled and cried as if she was overjoyed, touched Gu Rong's forehead and asked him: "Rongrong, who am I?" Mom, do you still know me?"

Gu Rong looked at the charming woman in front of him, his eyes were blurred, and after a few seconds, he nodded: "Mom."

"Hey..." Gu's mother choked up a little, she lowered her eyes, when she just entered the room, she had only Gu Rong in her eyes, only now did she notice that there was only one bed in the room.

She was stunned for two seconds, then looked up at Shen Qiuji who was still holding a porridge bowl beside Gu Rong.

She recognized this boy, not only remembered his voice, but also his appearance. She had seen him in the dormitory when she sent Gu Rong to Qincheng University at the beginning of school. He seemed to be the boy next to Gu Rong.

Shen Qiuji put the bowl and spoon on the bedside table, she looked calm on the surface, but she was still a little nervous in her heart and said hello to her aunt: "Hello, Auntie, I am Shen Qiuji."

"Hello, I'm Gu Rong's mother. This is Gu Rong's elder brother. He is as worried about Gu Rong as I am, so he came here together." Gu's mother nodded, with a calm expression on her face. Can't see any emotion.

She waved to Brother Gu Rong, asked him to bring over the bag he was carrying, and asked Shen Qiuji: "I have all the scissors, rice, Ming paper and incense that the soul wants. They were worn by Gu Rong when he was a child." I also brought the old clothes, they should be these, did I miss anything?"

"No." Except for the old clothes that Gu Rong wore when he was a child, Shen Qiuji had everything prepared.

Calling the soul is the clothes that the lost soul must wear, but it doesn't have to be from childhood, as long as it is worn.

Shen Qiuji felt that Mama Gu's tone revealed her familiarity with the sequence of calling souls, so she couldn't help asking her: "Auntie, you seem to know the process of calling souls very well?"

"I know what you want to ask." Gu's mother smiled miserably, looking at Gu Rong with distressed eyes, "Gu Rong also lost his soul once when he was a child, and I asked the sorceress to summon his soul for seven days before he came back. "

She was very happy that Gu Rong was able to come back, but there was also a lingering worry in her heart.

"But since then I have been worried about him. I want him to stay at home, but the child grows up and is not obedient. I can't bear to beat him and scold him..."

As she spoke, Gu's mother's eyes were red, and her voice was still a little choked - and now she was not surprised to see Gu Rong's situation, but felt that what she had been worried about and guarded against had finally happened.

"Seven days?" But Shen Qiuji felt that something was wrong when he heard what Gu's mother said.

Regardless of the time, he called Gu's mother in the middle of the night, because he was afraid that the time would be delayed for a long time, and Gu Rong's soul would be difficult to call back.

Generally speaking, after losing the soul, it is best to call the soul within one day, and it is more difficult for more than three days, and seven days is a very special turning point-because seven days also involves another kind of folk custom.

After a person dies, he will return to his soul seven days later, which is called the night of returning to the soul.

Therefore, if a person loses his soul, even if he does nothing, the soul may come back by himself after seven days, but this is not a good thing, and it is even better not to come back.

Because if that day is the soul-returning night, on the eighth day, the soul-lost person will die.

Assuming that the soul-lost person does not return on the seventh day, and the dummy of the soul-lost person calls the soul after more than seven days, and the soul-calling is successful, then another thing needs to be considered-the soul that was called back, Is it the lost soul's own soul?

Shen Qiuji frowned and subconsciously asked Gu's mother: "When Gu Rong was a child, he screamed for seven days? Is that really called a soul?"

Mother Gu raised her head when she heard the words, and stared at Shen Qiuji for a few seconds. Instead of answering Shen Qiuji's question directly, she turned her head and looked around, and asked, "The sooner you start calling the soul, the better? It's not yet light, so let's start calling the soul, where is the witch who called the soul?"

"Gu Rong's soul—" Shen Qiuji's voice paused slightly, "I'll call."

Gu's mother looked at Shen Qiuji more complicatedly: "You?"

"Yes." Shen Qiuji looked calm, and replied calmly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely not let anything happen to Gu Rong."

This is not only Shen Qiuji's guarantee, but also an admission to Gu's mother of his relationship with Gu Rong.

But in fact, even if Shen Qiuji didn't say that, Gu's mother had already discovered the clues, and more or less guessed what was going on with Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji. After all, the two men had a room outside. If there were no special circumstances, Impossible to sleep in a bed.

Even without talking about the bed, if they were really just ordinary roommates, Shen Qiuji might be worried about Gu Rong, but he would never make such a promise.

Gu's mother is very confused now, but she has no time to take care of these things, she just wants Gu Rong to be well.

"Okay." Gu's mother did not question Shen Qiuji's words, she handed the soul-calling things brought by Gu Rong's brother to Shen Qiuji, then took half a step back, and said to Shen Qiuji, "You can start now." .”

The first thing Shen Qiuji did was to use a chair as a ladder, stand up and break the smoke alarm above the house - if this thing can work normally, they will not be able to burn incense and ghost paper in the house .

But these things must be done in this room, because Gu Rong lost his soul here.

Afterwards, Shen Qiuji lit three sticks of incense in front of the bed, burned a pot of ghost paper at the end of the bed, and helped Gu Rong to lie down on the bed again.

Gu Rong obediently remained at the mercy of Shen Qiuji, his thinking and movements seemed to have become more and more sluggish, and it was only after he lay down that he remembered to ask Shen Qiuji: "Are you going to sleep again?"

"En." Shen Qiuji said softly to him, "Close your eyes, and open them again when I call you."

Gu Rong responded and closed his eyes: "Oh."

Shen Qiuji stroked his hair, and finally stuffed a pair of scissors under his pillow, and the preparation for calling the soul was ready.

Next, you can start calling the soul——

Shen Qiuji put Gu Rong's old clothes at the door when she was a child, and asked Gu's mother to take Gu Rong through last night, take off her clothes and volley in the air above Gu Rong's head, shaking constantly, Shen Qiuji stood by the bed, and Gu Rong After the mother looked at each other, she lowered her eyelashes and whispered the words that called the soul.

Gu Rong's elder brother walked to the door and asked through the door, "Is the spirit that Gu Rong scared off coming back?"

Every time he asked, Gu's mother would respond: "Gu Rong is back."

Repeat this until the clothes at the door stand up.

After calling for about ten times, when the paper on the brazier was completely burned out, they finally saw the clothes standing up at the door. At the same time, Gu Rong, who was sleeping on the bed with his eyes closed, was also extremely stiff, like a board. Sitting upright, the three of them held their breath for a moment, Shen Qiuji hung his right hand over Gu Rong's head, planning to wait for Gu's mother to finish calling "Gu Rong is back" to take a photo of the soul, implying that Gu Rong will be thrown away back into the body.

And Gu's mother also successfully shouted the last one.

But just as Shen Qiuji lowered his head to look at Gu Rong, and was about to pat his high-hanging right palm, Gu Rong suddenly opened his eyes again, and one of his eyes looked at Gu's mother's face on the left, as if being called by her came back.But Gu Rong's other eye turned around to look at Shen Qiuji, staring at him with a dark gaze, with a strange smile in his throat, he raised his hand with strength that ordinary people cannot possess, and heavily pressed Shen Qiuji Push away: "Geek..."

Even Shen Qiuji was shoved by his strength until he took two steps back before he could barely stand still.

It can be imagined that if the person who came to call the soul today was an ordinary person, he would have been pushed to the wall by Gu Rong long ago.

On the bed, Gu Rong opened his lips, his lips opened and closed to speak, but the tone of his throat was sharp and sharp, like a woman holding her throat, speaking to Shen Qiuji in a soft and playful voice: "So it was you who stopped me Sir, won't you let him reunite with me?"

At the end, Gu Rong shouted at the top of his voice, "No one can stop me from staying with my husband!"

In this way, the call to the soul has failed.

And it was the most unsuccessful one - he called the soul that did not belong to Gu Rong into Gu Rong's body.

"Arrogant and evil!" Shen Qiuji's face was gloomy, and he stretched out his hands with a low drink, about to grab the soul that didn't belong to Gu Rong from his body.

Gu Rong smiled "ho ho", and fell down suddenly when Shen Qiuji's hand was about to touch his body. At the same time, the clothes standing up by the door also collapsed into a ball and returned to their original shape.

Everyone saw that Gu Rong closed his eyes again, his body seemed to lose all support, and he fell limply backwards, limp and unconscious on the bed.

"Rongrong! Fluffy!" Gu's mother called Gu Rong's name twice, and rushed to hug Gu Rong.

Shen Qiuji reached out and touched under the pillow, and took out the scissors that were stuffed in just now.

The scissors were still intact when they were put under the pillow, but now they were broken in two. Shen Qiuji looked at the scissors silently, without saying a word. After a while, he said: "The call to the soul failed. Gu Rong's soul ...can't call back."

"Impossible...impossible..." Mother Gu hugged Gu Rong's upper body, murmured in disbelief, then lost all her composure, and shouted, "It's impossible not to call back!"

"Zheng Rong!" She turned to look at Gu Rong's brother, sobbing, "Call your father and ask him to contact the old gentleman from before."
