Anecdotes about ghosts

At first, Lu Ke thought that he had read it wrong, so he looked at it a few more times, until after comparing his own shadow, he finally realized that the servant did not have a shadow!

A person without a shadow, is that still a person?

Lu Ke suddenly stopped, subconsciously wanting to grab the jade pendant on his chest.

It's just that when his hand was about to approach his neck, he swung it down sharply and changed it to the front of his clothes.

Lu Ke remembered that every time he reached out to grab the green lotus jade, he would alarm Lord Siqing, but this time, he really didn't want to disturb Lu Siqing's rest just because of a little fear.

Lu Ke took a deep breath, and secretly told himself: Don't be afraid.

The servant walked in front, and suddenly realized that there were no footsteps following behind him, so he turned around holding the lantern and asked, "Why didn't the guest leave?"

"what?"

On the one hand, Lu Ke was taken aback by the servant's sudden turn around, but on the other hand, he didn't want to show his timidity, so he had to force himself to be calm: "I'm a little tired from walking, I want to take a rest."

"Oh, then wait a moment."

The servant walked to the side of the corridor and wiped the dust on the stool carefully with his sleeve: "This place has been cleaned, you sit down."

But it's obviously too close to the servants, Lu Ke doesn't want to go there, but if he doesn't go there, will he be seen as strange?

Think again, since the other party has no abnormal behavior now, should I also try to behave as naturally as possible.

Lu Ke swallowed, but finally bit the bullet and walked over: "Thank you."

The servant said: "Guest, you are too polite."

In the middle of the winter night, the cold wind is biting.

After Lu Ke sat for less than 2 minutes, his feet were numb from the cold, and when he moved a little, he felt cold and painful.

And the shadowless servant stood obediently beside him, holding a lantern in his hand, didn't speak, didn't move much, only the sound of even breathing could be heard.

Lu Ke knew that ghosts can't breathe, so what are these servants?

I remember a long time ago, when he first met Lord Siqing, he seemed to have seen the shadow of Lord Siqing at that time, but there was obviously a shadow of Lord Siqing in his memory.

Then at that time Master Siqing said what does the shadow of a mortal represent?

It's just that the matter was too long ago, and Lu Ke racked his brains and couldn't figure out what Lu Siqing had popularized science with him at that time.

Seeing that the guest's legs were shaking violently, the servant couldn't help asking: "Is the guest frozen? Do you want to go on...go?"

It stands to reason that they shouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to the guests, but today's guests are a little different from other guests, so the servant boldly asked a question.

Lu Ke originally wanted to wait and see if he would meet any other people passing by, but now it seems that instead of blowing the cold wind here, it is better to walk forward.

Standing up, Lu Ke's legs, feet and tongue were not very sharp: "Okay...let's trouble you...lead the way."

"Yes."

The servant took the order and continued to lead the way with a lantern.Lu Ke followed behind, keeping a certain safe distance from him.

Not long after, the servant led Lu Ke to a brightly lit courtyard.

Xu Lan seemed to know that Lu Ke would come, so she came to the gate of the yard early to wait.

Now when he saw Lu Ke, he immediately went up to meet him, and asked with concern, "Is the brother of the Lu family resting well? The bumpy road has made the brother of the Lu family suffer."

"It's better." Lu Ke raised his brows, and calmly brushed away the Rouyi that was grabbing his sleeve, "Where's my friend? I want to go and see him first."

Xu Lan didn't reply immediately, but instead glanced at the servant who had been waiting for Lu Ke all the way: "It's none of your business here, step back first."

After drinking away the servants, Xu Lan changed her face and put on a smile. While hugging Lu Ke and walking into the house, she said, "Perhaps it's because of severe motion sickness, and I haven't gotten up yet. Brother Lu, why don't you go in with me to have something to eat first, and then go back later." It’s not too late to see that little fox, and you can also send him some food, lest he make another trip.”

Lu Ke thought for a while, nodded and said, "...OK."

When he walked to the brightly lit place, he couldn't help but glanced at the ground from the corner of his eye, only to find that Xu Lan's shadow was quite normal, so he was slightly relieved.

After dinner, Xu Lan suddenly offered to visit Jiang Mingming with Lu Ke.

For Lu Ke, of course he would rather be with the normal Xu Lan than the shadowless servant, and he readily agreed.

Xu Lan has a cheerful personality and is very good at taking advantage of her age, which makes it easy for people to feel close to her.

And Lu Ke originally came here with a purpose, but he was worried that he couldn't find an entry point. Now that Xu Lan was by his side, he could find an opportunity to inquire about Xu Ruohua's whereabouts.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they quickly talked about it.

Just now the two of them talked about something funny, Xu Lan laughed wildly, and when she had laughed enough, she suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother Lu is not an ordinary person, is he?"

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Xu Lan's words meant.

"Brother Lu, don't be nervous. Actually, I already knew." Xu Lan blinked slyly, "Just when I asked you to borrow the little fox at the airport earlier."

Lu Ke recalled the scene at the airport for a while, and asked back with a smile, "I don't seem to have concealed it, why should I be nervous?"

Xu Lan giggled, and said coquettishly, "Oh, can't the brother of the Lu family act with me? Fortunately, I thought I caught your little secret by myself."

Lu Ke: "..."

It may be due to the age gap. Lu Ke always felt that there was an indescribable communication gap between himself and this girl who hadn't passed the second stage of middle school.

Sighing silently in his heart, Lu Ke said without distraction: "Since you have discovered it, I might as well ask you a question."

Xu Lan blinked her innocent and beautiful almond eyes: "Brother Lu, please, if I know anything, I will tell you."

Lu Ke originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask about Xu Ruohua's whereabouts, but felt abrupt again, so he changed his mind and said, "I found out earlier that none of your servants seem to be around?"

Xu Lan wasn't surprised by Lu Ke's question at all, and said nonchalantly, "They don't have shadows in the first place."

Lu Ke was a little confused: "What do you mean 'there is no shadow'?"

Xu Lan said "Oh", "Let's put it this way, because they themselves are shadows, so there are no shadows."

"Huh?" Lu Ke was even more confused.

Xu Lan scratched her bangs on her forehead and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I don't know too well. Anyway, they have been in our house since I was born. As for why they are servants in my house, I don't even know. "

Lu Ke didn't intend to ask further: "It's fine, it's fine if you don't know, I'm just asking casually."

As soon as the two of them said this, they heard a familiar voice: "Master Sun is awake?"
