Chapter 15: The Changing Yunyun 3. Horror
Two days passed by unknowingly.
At night, Wu Yu was sitting in front of the screen and chatting with his colleagues on the phone. The door was blown open with a whoosh, and in the dim light, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing straight in. Wu Yu was so busy chatting that he thought it was Yunyun who came back and didn't even look outside the door.
A dark shadow slowly floated in from the door as the cold wind blew. With the dim light of the lantern, I found that the person was not Yunyun, but a young and beautiful woman in ancient costume. The woman was wearing a bridal gown from the Republic of China era, with her long hair loose and her face invisible.
Wu Yu felt a chill in his heart. He turned his head and looked over. He was horrified. His face turned pale. He stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes and said incoherently, "Who... who are you?"
The woman slowly lifted her long hair, revealing a gray face. She stared at Wu Yu with fierce eyes and said, "Don't you recognize me, husband?"
Wu Yu recognized that it was the ghost bride who married him that day. He was even more horrified and almost fainted from fear. He couldn't even speak.
"I'm already yours, what are you afraid of?" The ghost lady murmured as she approached him.
Wu Yu trembled and suddenly collapsed. It took him a long time to recover and said, "You are already... why are you still looking for me?"
"Since ancient times, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. If I don't come to find you, who else can I go to?" The ghost bride said to Wu Yu with a sinister smile.
"I actually didn't want to marry you, but your grandfather drugged me, so I was confused ..." Wu Yu explained randomly, not caring whether the other party could understand his helplessness that day.
"Men are all fickle. Do you already have other women, or did you marry me just for my money?" As the ghost lady spoke, her eyes suddenly widened and she grabbed Wu Yu's neck fiercely.
Wu Yu screamed in horror: "No... No..."
Wu Yu sat up and found himself sitting on the bed. It turned out to be a dream. But he was sweating and his heart was still pounding. Wu Yu subconsciously touched his neck.
When Wu Yu calmed down and recalled the dream, everything was so real. He suddenly remembered the legend of the ghost marriage "ghost lady" and Su Wei's recent changes. He was secretly shocked: "Could the legend be true?"
Wu Yu was still in shock when he suddenly heard music coming from far away. He was startled. He calmed down and listened carefully. It turned out to be the phone ringing. He was relieved.
The call was from Xinluo, who said that she was going to Qingyin Temple and was waiting for him at the pier where they had taken the boat before. Wu Yu said "hmm" and hung up the phone without thinking too much. He got out of bed and went to open the door. It was getting light outside and the rain had stopped. Wu Yu had been very depressed by the gloomy weather recently. It was rare to see such good weather, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He looked at the time and it was already ten o'clock in the morning, so he hurried to the gate.
As soon as Wu Yu closed the door, a long-haired figure suddenly appeared behind him, staring at the gate. In the silence, the figure let out a sinister laugh.
When Wu Yu arrived at the pier, he saw Xinluo looking towards where he came from. When she saw Wu Yu coming, she couldn't help but smile.
Wu Yu walked closer to her, looked into her watery eyes, and asked breathlessly, "Why did you think of going to Qingyin Temple?"
Xinluo smiled gently and said, "I'm free today, and since the weather is nice, I want to go play on the other side."
While they were talking, the boatman came to ask them to board the boat. They smiled and nodded to him, and followed him into the boat.
After the boat was full, it slowly drifted away. The clear sky made the river look even clearer and bluer, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Wu Yu and Xin Luo talked in low voices and soon reached the other side. After landing, they played around. Wu Yu felt the sweetness of first love in Xin Luo's smiles and frowns. Wu Yu began to feel that he could no longer leave Xin Luo.
At dusk, they returned to the old house together.
Wu Yuhe was always nervous on the way back to the old house. He seemed to feel that someone was following them today, but when he turned around, he found nothing. He felt more and more uneasy.
After returning to the old house, Wu Yu saw that Yunyun had not returned yet, so he suggested to go to Xinluo's room to sit down. Wu Yu wanted to take advantage of Yunyun's absence to have some tenderness with Xinluo. When they were in the highest spirits, they suddenly heard the door creak, and then saw a shadow outside the screen window. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. They hurriedly separated, and Wu Yu screamed, "Who?"
After hearing this, the shadow suddenly disappeared .
Wu Yu threw on his clothes hastily and ran out, but he saw nothing. In the silence, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. Wu Yu panicked. But at this moment, Wu Yu saw the light of a lantern, and then the old man's door rang softly. Wu Yu was so frightened that his face turned pale. Fortunately, Xinluo called him softly, and he came back to his senses.
Wu Yu didn't have time to talk to Xin Luo. He hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed back to the front yard. As he walked, he wondered if the old man had discovered what he and Xin Luo had done. If so, he didn't know how the old man would treat him. He thought of the mysterious shadow when he was having fun with Xin Luo before. Could it be him? The more Wu Yu thought about it, the more shocked he became.
Wu Yu was so busy thinking about these things that he bumped into someone who was coming towards him. Wu Yu looked up and saw a pair of ghost-like eyes staring at him fiercely, as if they could see through people. Wu Yu was shocked and took a few steps back. When he saw it was Yunyun, he became even more timid.
"Why are you so flustered?" Yunyun asked angrily.
"No...no, I was just thinking about something, unexpectedly..." Wu Yu's words were vague and his expression was unclear.
Seeing him like this, Yunyun became more suspicious. She sneered and said, "Is it really just like that? Did you do something bad?"
Wu Yu became even more panicked after hearing this, but in order to prevent Yunyun from further suspecting him and Xinluo, he pretended to be calm and said, "How could it be?"
"Really?" Yunyun sneered distrustfully, and then asked, "Is Xinluo back?"
"This... seems to be coming back." Wu Yu stammered.
Yunyun said nothing and hurried to Xinluo. Wu Yu looked at Yunyun's back and felt his heart was still beating wildly. He always felt that Yunyun had suspected his relationship with Xinluo, but fortunately she was not caught at the beginning. When he thought of this, he was happy and thought that the mysterious shadow just now might not have come to report the news.
While Wu Yu was daydreaming, he saw Niao Niao coming back. Niao Niao smiled at him and went back to her room without saying anything.
After Wu Yu returned to his room, he paced around the room uncomfortably. If Yunyun knew about what happened between him and Xinluo, how would she react? Kill him? Or commit suicide? Wu Yu felt like he was standing on the edge of a cliff. If he took a step carelessly, he would fall off the cliff and die. He was caught in a dilemma.
Wu Yu was so worried that he couldn't sleep. Yunyun came back very late, went to bed silently, and ignored him. Wu Yu became more and more worried and almost didn't sleep all night.
