Chapter Nineteen: The Fierce Ghost on Mei Mountain

  I followed Guan Tingting with bated breath, and suddenly thought of easing the tense atmosphere. I said: "Tingting, it's so dark here, why do I feel like a lone rider on a long journey, like a romantic hero sending off his lover?"

  "Go die! I thought you were quite honest, don't disappoint me."

  I said: "Ting Ting, don't have too high hopes for me. The more honest and handsome a man looks, the more sinister he is in his heart. Each one of them is a wolf wearing human skin."

  Guan Tingting suddenly stopped and said: "Shen Shangyu, you won't also be a wolf, will you?"

  I said: "That's a must, especially in front of such a great beauty like you!"

  "Alright, I don't know you? Old slicker, wait for me here." She said as she walked in another direction.

  I quickly asked: "Tingting, where are you going?" She said: "Nothing, don't leave here."

  I waited for a bit, and Gu Tingting still hadn't returned. I thought to myself, "Could that girl have been taken away by ghosts?" So I went over to take a look.

  She walked ten or so meters away, then looked around to the left and right as if searching for something on the ground. With her back to me and without giving me any time to react, she quickly pulled down her pants and squatted down.

  I watched the entire process that made my heart skip a beat in just a few seconds.

  She was whispering, I had no intention of eavesdropping, but she didn't give me a chance, the whole thing came too suddenly, without any warning, my mind started racing.

  Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came from behind, and I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, unable to help but cry out "Ah yo".

  I turned around and was so furious and shocked that I almost jumped up, only to see Lin Jie standing one zhang away, glaring at me fiercely.

  There is a small stone under my foot, which is obviously what Lin Jie threw at the back of my head just now.

  Although he didn't use much force, it hurt a lot and I touched it, it's swollen.

  "You... you..." I was so angry that I couldn't speak, wanting to scold him but didn't know how.

  Lin Jie scolded me with a sentence: "Despicable! Shameless! Embroidered pillow!"

  My heart sank suddenly, I'm in trouble! Lin Jie discovered that I was secretly looking at Guan Tingting!

  He caught me red-handed, and the evidence is solid. If he tells Guan Tingting that I was sneaking a peek, I'm afraid that from now on, in her eyes, I'll be forever known as a shameless, despicable, and lecherous scoundrel, and she'll never forgive me for this lifetime.

  Gu Tingting ran over and was surprised to see Lin Jie, asking: "How did you get here?"

  Lin Jie glanced at me and Guan Tingting, and replied coldly: "You can come, why can't I? This isn't some restricted area."

  His gaze is very complex, similar to Chen Xiao's version of Lin Pingzhi.

  I'm worried he'll spill what just happened, and forced a smile: "Tingting, Lin Jie must have come over because he's concerned about our safety!"

  Gu Tingting suddenly smiled and said: "Lin Jie, we just saw a shadow slipping into this forest, do you dare to follow me in to investigate?"

  Damn it, Lin Jie really is infatuated with Guan Tingting. Hearing her say that, he immediately replied with a beaming smile: "Tingting, I'll go with you!"

  I said: "Lin Jie, forget it, it's dark and gloomy here, let's go out?"

  Guān Tíngtíng said discontentedly: "The matter has not been investigated clearly, why go out?"

  "I said: 'Don't you know it's very dangerous to do so?'"

  Lin Jie said: "What's the danger, I'm not afraid."

  I gazed up at the gloomy sky and said angrily, "Suit yourselves, if you want to die then keep going ahead, see if I care!" After that, I turned around and was about to leave.

  "What's with the attitude?" Lin Jie hummed and said to Guan Tingting, "Don't mind him, I'll go with you."

  "Shen Shangyu, if you're afraid of death, then don't come." Guan Tingting threw out a sentence and followed Lin Jie.

  Now I'm in a dilemma. If I leave, it means I'm afraid of death; if I don't leave, it seems like I have no personality at all. Damn it, I've actually been threatened by this woman.

  "Ah......" Gu Tingting suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream, and in an instant, the sound came to an abrupt halt.

  My hair stood on end, I turned around and saw Lin Jie standing there with a stupid look on his face, but Guan Tingting was nowhere to be seen!

  Where did he go? He disappeared so quickly! I'm sure the two of them are in cahoots to scare me. I let out a "humph" and headed out of the mountain.

  Suddenly, with a "whoosh" sound, I saw Lin Jie leap up like a fierce tiger and disappear in the place where Guan Tingting was standing just now.

  Could Guan Tingting really be in danger? I didn't have time to think much, and I quickly followed. After chasing for about 50 meters, I shouted loudly at them twice, but there was no response.

  As Lin Jie had already chased out very far, I hurriedly sped up. After running for about 100 meters, Lin Jie stopped and looked around cautiously, then suddenly jumped to the left.

  I followed immediately, passing through a thicket of low trees. When I saw what was in front of me clearly, I felt a chill run down my spine and my heart skipped a beat.

  Guān Tíngtíng was retreating in terror, and beside her stood a white figure with long hair hanging down to her shoulders, her face deathly pale, her eyes sunken into her eye sockets, without a glimmer of white, devoid of any vitality, her expression twisted in unspeakable horror.

  To be exact, that wasn't a person, but a ghost! Its whole body was rotten, and maggots fell from its face and body. I got goosebumps all over my body, and immediately thought of one thing: an evil spirit.

  What's even more terrifying is that it was staring at Guan Tingting, making a disgusting "heh heh... heh heh..." sound with its mouth.

  The fear in my heart was immediately replaced by anger, and I rushed forward, passing Lin Jie, and pounced on Guan Tingting's face, blocking her behind me.

  Before I could even make a move, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept through the forest, and the fierce ghost pounced on me like a malevolent spirit.

  I didn't have time to be afraid, and with a sudden slap, I slapped the fierce ghost flying out, heavily falling on the forest floor one zhang away in front.

  The fierce ghost stood up like a zombie as soon as it touched the ground, with a terrifying face emitting a green glow, and a crooked mouth let out a strange laugh, which was inexplicably eerie.

  I was about to throw another punch when Lin Jie rushed over like a whirlwind, grabbed Guan Tingting's hand and shouted: "Shang Yu, run quickly!"

  I slammed my head and followed Lin Jie and Guan Tingting out of the woods.

  A gust of cold wind blew by, and the leaves in front rustled. The white-clothed fierce ghost seemed to be able to fly with the wind, making a "whooshing" sound as it swept past our side, once again blocking us in the forest.

  Lin Jie pulled Guan Tingting back, trembling with fear, and I don't know where a surge of courage came from, turned around and shielded the two behind me, with my fists clenched in front of my chest.

  "You can't escape, you have to stay in this forest with me...... Hehe......" The white-robed fierce ghost's eerie laughter floated over, and under the cold moonlight, I saw that white dress floating towards me.

  I was so tense that my teeth were almost crushed, I gritted my teeth and with a swift kick, I launched a whirlwind leg at the white-robed fierce ghost.

  "Can't escape now, huh? Hehe...". The eerie and sinister laughter echoed again, I suddenly felt a tightness in my neck, and before I knew it, I was lifted off the ground, my neck caught in the long hair of the white-clothed fierce ghost. This time, I'm done for.

  The white-clothed fierce ghost's long sharp claws were coming straight for my chest, digging into my heart. Dammit, the flower protector didn't do a good job, and now I'm going to lose my life too. I could even imagine the white-clothed fierce ghost pulling out my bloody heart and chewing it up in his mouth. I almost fainted.

  At this moment, a black figure darted out of the woods, hugging the white-clothed fierce ghost and rolled to one side. "Yu Ge, run quickly!"

  Is that Qin Su'er's voice?

  "Run!" In the darkness, I couldn't see Qin Su'er's face, only a white-robed fierce ghost embracing her and rolling to one side with a strange laugh.

  Qin Su'er let out a sorrowful cry: "Yu Ge, you'd better leave quickly..."

  I saw Qin Su'er risking her life to save me, how could I bear to escape alone? "No way!", I shouted loudly: "Su'er, if we're going to die, let's die together!"

  Lin Jie rushed back, trembling and grasping my hand: "Shang Yu, what are you still dazing about? Hurry up!", pulling me with all his might towards the outside of the forest.

  I struggled forward, and suddenly saw Qin Su'er rushing over like the wind, grabbing my hand and Lin Jie's hand, running desperately outward.

  Qin Su'er's hand was still so cold, but my heart was warm. This woman, no matter what, at least she was still affectionate and righteous!

  The four of us ran out of the woods and arrived at the rental house. I opened the car door, and Lin Jie quickly got into the driver's seat, shouting: "Shang Yu, Ting Ting... hurry up and get in the car!"

  We got on the car, Lin Jie stepped on the accelerator and started the car. The car shot towards the main road of the new development zone like an arrow leaving a bowstring.

  Lin Jie asked me nervously while driving: "Shang Yu, which way should we go?"

  Right, which way to go? A flash of inspiration in my mind, Tian Ji? Master Tian? Maybe only Tian Ji's old man can subdue this white-clothed fierce ghost! I said loudly: "Go to the Tian family's paper shop!"

  The white-clad fierce ghost seemed to have been thoroughly enraged by the four of us. I took a glance at the back of the car and saw her, clad in white, floating and chasing after us like a malevolent spirit. Judging from the situation, she won't stop until she tears the four of us apart tonight!

  Lin Jie drove the car and rushed all the way to Tian Shi's paper shop. I looked at Qin Su'er: "Su'er, how did you come here?"

  "You didn't tell me there was something going on in the team tonight and told me not to come, luckily I came! Otherwise, if you died, I wouldn't be alive either." Qin Suer said with a hint of resentment.

  "My goodness, these women can actually share life and death with me, I'm so touched. My eyes overflow with infinite tenderness as I gaze at her, unexpectedly, she also gazes back at me. The two gazes collide in mid-air, sparking a spark of fire."

  "I'm telling you two, stop being so lovey-dovey, they're catching up quickly." Gu Tingting's words were laced with an unknown mix of jealousy and concern.

  I glanced in the rearview mirror and indeed, that white-clothed fierce ghost was chasing after me again, closing in on me.

  I trembled as I dialed Tianji's phone number, and it took a long time for Tianji's lazy voice to come from the other end of the line. He was probably just waking up from a hangover: "Hey, buddy, you're calling me in the middle of the night, are you thinking of doing that thing with me?"

  I anxiously shouted, "Damn it, a white-clad fierce ghost is chasing me to kill me, I'm driving to your paper shop, quickly wake up your old man to save us..."
