Chapter 27: The Bride of the Deserted House 1. Ghost Lady
At night, Wu Yu turned on the light and sat alone in the room. He waited for a long time but Yunyun still didn't come back. Wu Yu thought she was still angry and would feel better if she went out to play. But as the sky got darker and Yunyun still didn't come back, Wu Yu began to get nervous. He thought it was so late and she was unfamiliar with Wuzhen. What if something happened? He hesitated for a moment and dialed Yunyun's number, but the phone prompt was turned off. Wu Yu thought Yunyun was deliberately avoiding him.
Seeing that Yunyun's phone was turned off, Wu Yu felt it inconvenient to call her to check on her, so he called Niao Niao. Niao Niao answered the phone after a while. Wu Yu asked about Yunyun's whereabouts and whether he had been to her place. Niao Niao said that she hadn't seen her all day. Wu Yu chatted with Niao Niao casually for a few words and then hung up.
After a while, there was still no news from Yunyun. Wu Yu became more and more worried. He began to feel uneasy and kept walking back and forth in the room, wondering where Yunyun had gone.
Wu Yu saw that it was getting late, and it was useless to go out to look for her, so he had to wait in the room. It was already late at night, and Yunyun still hadn't come back. Wu Yu kept calling her phone, but it was still turned off. He began to panic. What if Yunyun really got into trouble? What should he do? He suddenly realized that Yunyun still had a place in his heart.
Wu Yu stayed awake almost all night and fell into a drowsy sleep at dawn.
Wu Yu was startled by a strange cry and suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the dark room and his heart was beating. He thought it was Yunyun calling and fumbled for his cell phone, but there was no call. He looked at everything in the room. The broken pieces of the screen from last night shone through the light from outside, shining white, so bright that Wu Yu could hardly open his eyes.
Wu Yu became more worried when he found that he couldn't get through to Yunyun. He got up and prepared to go out. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He answered it in confusion.
"Are you Wu Yu?" A hoarse female voice came from the other end.
"Who are you?" Wu Yu was surprised.
"If you want to see Li Yunyun for the last time, come to Qingyin Temple immediately." The person on the other end said this but then hung up.
Wu Yu knew that something had happened to Yunyun. He didn't have time to think about it and hurried out without even taking an umbrella with him, and went out in the rain.
Wu Yu hurried to the riverside, where there was a boat going to Qingyin Temple, so he boarded it. The boat drifted away slowly, and Wu Yu was so anxious that he stared blankly at the scene of the drizzle falling on the river, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.
After arriving at Qingyin Temple, he found the mysterious phone number and dialed it, but the other party said it was an unavailable number. He looked everywhere near Qingyin Temple, but there was no sign of Yunyun. When he was about to return to the ancient town, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Wu Yu took out his phone and saw that it was Yunyun's number. He was surprised and quickly answered the phone.
"Yu... come back to the ancient house and save... me..." Yunyun's scream came from the other end.
Wu Yu panicked and wanted to say something, but the other party hung up.
Wu Yu felt that something had happened to Yunyun, so he hurried to the shore and boarded the boat back to the ancient town.
After returning to the ancient town, he called Yunyun, but the phone was still turned off, and he hurried to the ancient house.
Panting, he returned to the old house and rushed directly to the room where they lived. He pushed the door open with a bang. As soon as he opened the door, Wu Yu was frightened by the scene in front of him and collapsed to the ground, staring at the beam. There was a girl in a red cheongsam hanging on the beam, with her eyes wide open. Wu Yu carefully identified her and recognized it as Li Yunyun.
"Yu— " Wu Yu suddenly heard a woman's soft cry.
Wu Yu paused, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Xin Luo tied tightly to the bed with ropes, looking at him in horror.
"Yu..." Xinluo's voice was low and his breath was weak.
After hearing this, Wu Yu hurried over to untie the rope for Xinluo.
As soon as she was untied, Xinluo fell into Wu Yu's arms.
Wu Yu looked at Xin Luo, whose face was completely pale, and asked, "What... is going on?"
Xinluo hadn't said anything yet, but tears were already welling up in her eyes. After a moment, she said with difficulty, "Yunyun committed suicide."
Wu Yu looked at Xinluo in surprise, then at the dead Yunyun, and stammered, "This... how is it possible?"
Xinluo was already sobbing and her tears were flowing like a river. After a while, she choked up and said, "Actually, Yunyun didn't want to kill me. She didn't want to kill me..."
The more Wu Yu listened, the more confused he became.
"Yu, let me tell you the truth. Yunyun is my cousin. The letter you sent to you before you came was actually sent by Yun. The letter you received after you came was also Yun's masterpiece. To be honest, everything was Yun's conspiracy. She led you to the ancient town because she didn't trust your love. I seduced you as part of Yun's conspiracy."
Wu Yu was stunned for a long time when he heard it. Suddenly, he shook his head in shock and shouted, "Is this true? Is this true?" While shouting, tears rolled down his cheeks.
"I remember two years ago, when Sister Yun and her boyfriend Su Wei came to live in the old house. At that time, we were still in our hometown and had not moved out, so the old house was very desolate. But Sister Yun and Su Wei asked to stay, so my eldest sister had to move out of our hometown. Didn't I tell you before that we moved out when we were very young, so we were very familiar with Xiaoqing and the others, but later because of some things, we returned to our hometown and lived for a few years. Unexpectedly, Su Wei fell in love with my eldest sister. Later, my eldest sister fell ill and died, and Su Wei also died mysteriously. At that time, I suspected that Sister Yun killed her, but there was no evidence. Today, she wanted to kill me, so she had told me the truth about how she killed Su Wei, Su Wei and my grandfather."
"Why did she kill Su Wei and your grandfather?"
"Speaking of which, Su Wei is actually Su Wei's eldest brother. He came to the ancient town to investigate the truth behind his eldest brother's death. Unexpectedly, Sister Yun knew his secret, so she used the legend of ghost marriage to kill him. My grandfather also knew the truth and could not escape the fate."
After Wu Yu heard Xinluo's words, all his doubts about living in the old house were solved. He was shocked and could never imagine that the real murderer was right next to him.
Xinluo finished speaking breathlessly and suddenly fainted.
“Xinluo… Xinluo…” Wu Yu shook Xinluo and shouted loudly.
