Chapter 4 Don’t let waiting become a regret
The reflection in the chicken blood looked so strange.
Deng Xiaolin, as a ghost exorcist, even a newly promoted one, knew very well.
This reflection was not herself.
She took a deep breath and then asked.
“These sounds in the forest, are they from you?”
“If you have any grievances or unresolved issues, please tell me,”
“I will do my best to help you solve them…”
Deng Xiaolin finished speaking and waited for the reflection’s reaction.
However, after waiting for a long time, the other party seemed to be asleep and didn’t even bother to respond to Deng Xiaolin.
Seeing this, the latter seemed to understand something.
The ghost in the grave had likely lost its mind and had become a complete stray ghost.
In this situation, it was better not to ask too many questions.
Based on the information, this supernatural event was not difficult.
Although Deng Xiaolin’s professional experience was not long, she was at least a newcomer who had resolved several supernatural events.
So she also knew what to do in this situation.
She took out a handful of rice from her pocket and scattered it on the grave mound.
“Lost souls, please wander no more, find the path to the underworld, that is where you truly belong…”
After speaking, Deng Xiaolin bowed three times to the grave mound.
Even though communication was impossible, facing such situations was common when questioning ghosts.
As long as the other party understood her intentions, if they agreed, they would light blue candles.
If they disagreed, they would light red candles.
As Deng Xiaolin’s voice fell, a gust of cold wind slowly blew through the bamboo forest.
The surrounding light seemed to have completely dimmed, and soon blue candles were slowly lit.
The faint flame illuminated Deng Xiaolin’s fair face.
Seeing this, the girl’s wildly beating heart rate slowed down slightly.
Many supernatural events were like this; it wasn’t always about fighting to the death.
Supernatural events of Liu Haoyu’s intensity were truly rare.
After Deng Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief, she bowed to the grave mound again.
“Rest in peace.”
With that, the girl left the place.
The wind in the bamboo forest finally stopped.
The girl hailed a taxi by the roadside, preparing to return to Jiangliu City.
In the car, watching the scenery rushing by outside the window, the girl’s heart could not calm down for a long time.
Liu Haoyu had been away from Jiangliu City for quite some time.
Moreover, she had never received a call from him and didn’t know what his situation was.
The girl looked at her phone, hesitated for a long time, and then let out a sigh.
“Sigh… As expected, I should find him after I get stronger.”
Deng Xiaolin’s true purpose for becoming a ghost exorcist was only to get closer to Liu Haoyu.
Although Old Deng had always opposed Deng Xiaolin becoming a ghost exorcist, the latter clearly understood that if she didn’t do this, the two of them might never intersect in the future.
It was no exaggeration to say that ghost exorcists and ordinary people were not beings in the same world.
Therefore, if she wanted to continue to be by Liu Haoyu’s side, she could only become a ghost exorcist and accompany him.
Fortunately, she had talent in this area.
Deng Xiaolin looked at the contacts on her phone, a trace of entanglement in her eyes.
She really wanted to tell Liu Haoyu that she had also become a ghost exorcist!
“Sister?” The taxi driver also noticed the entanglement on Deng Xiaolin’s face through the rearview mirror, so he couldn’t help but tease, “Who are you thinking about, young man?”
“Ah?”
Deng Xiaolin was stunned after hearing this.
“How did you know?”
The driver laughed heartily and said.
“It’s very simple. Don’t look at how weathered Uncle is now, but when I was young, I was a real handsome young man.”
“When my wife was chasing me, she was like you, looking at her phone with that expression, that entanglement, that hesitation…”
“You don’t know, she looked at that phone for a whole hour, as if she was going to see through it.”
“And I watched her for an hour from behind. When she was waiting for the phone to ring, and heard the ringtone sounding behind her, tsk tsk, you can’t imagine how cute her expression was.”
“…”
Most taxi drivers are very talkative people, and Deng Xiaolin patiently listened to the other party’s emotional experiences.
Although there might have been some exaggeration, a lot of the content was indeed worth Deng Xiaolin learning from.
The driver continued to talk boastfully while driving.
Perhaps he was a little tired from talking, he picked up the water cup next to him, took a sip of water, and said with emotion.
“So, my dear sister, if there’s anything you want to say to your sweetheart, go ahead and say it quickly, don’t let waiting become a regret.”
As an experienced person, what the driver said did have some truth to it.
At this time, the taxi also stopped at the entrance of the folk custom shop.
“Sister, take care, if there’s anything you want to say, call soon!”
After saying those seemingly joking words, the driver drove away.
Deng Xiaolin entered the folk custom shop.
Everything here had not changed. The elderly man was still sitting at the counter of the folk custom shop, quietly smoking.
But the cigarette had already burned to the filter, and the ashes had fallen onto the table.
It wasn’t until he saw Deng Xiaolin return that he came back to his senses, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and said.
“You little girl, you’re finally back.”
“Grandpa, your granddaughter is not young anymore, there’s no need to worry so much.”
Although the care of family made her feel comfortable, too much care made Deng Xiaolin a little awkward.
“Hmph!” Old Deng snorted, “You little girl, don’t underestimate matters of ghosts and monsters, or you’ll end up in trouble sooner or later.”
“If you ask me, since you’re always thinking about that boy Liu, you might as well try to use your looks to your advantage.”
“Dress yourself up more, call him often to ask about his well-being, it’s better than taking such risks and not valuing your life.”
As an old man, Old Deng’s thinking was naturally more conservative, which Deng Xiaolin could understand.
“Alright Grandpa, you know Hao-ge’s personality. If I called him every day, wouldn’t he get annoyed and block me?”
“That kid would never do something like that.”
Old Deng waved his hand and then sighed uncontrollably.
“Alright, alright, you’re indeed not young anymore, and I’m too lazy to interfere with you young people’s affairs. You’ve been busy all morning, so go and rest.”
“Okay, Grandpa!”
Relieved, Deng Xiaolin scurried back into the inner room. She threw herself onto the bed in the guest room, where the masculine aura of Liu Haoyu still lingered.
The girl buried her face in the pillow and couldn’t help but inhale deeply with a “sihasiha.”
Only after she was satisfied did she reluctantly put down the pillow in her hand.
Then, she took out her phone again, looked at the name in the contact list, took a deep breath, and slowly pressed it.
