Chapter 449: This Smile Always Makes Him Feel Creepy

The woman called Xue'er moved slightly, shook off the man's hand on her shoulder, and then took half a step to the side.

The man was a little displeased, and stretched out his hand, trying to pull the woman's body over so that she could look at him!

But suddenly, something hit the man on the back.

The man frowned for a moment, turned around and saw nothing.

After touching his back, the man turned his head again, only to find that there was no one on the bridge.

The man was startled and took a few steps back until his lower back pressed against the stone railing on the bridge. The hard touch made his back numb. He suddenly woke up, but he only felt a chill on his forehead. Air conditioning.

Looking at the empty long bridge, goosebumps gradually aroused on the man's arms and neck.

He wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and then looked at the dark lake, feeling like a monster's huge mouth, as if it was going to swallow people up in an instant.

His feet were trembling a little, and he held on to the stone handrail with difficulty, turned around, and was about to walk back.

But he didn't know whether it was because the bridge slipped or because his legs were too weak. He staggered and fell to the ground after just two steps.

On the ground, instead of dry and flat stones, there were wet and slippery water stains.

It didn't rain today. Where did the water stains come from on this bridge?

The man didn't know what he thought of. His eyelids trembled, and he slowly raised his hand and brought it to his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly gasped!

Under the unknown moonlight, he could clearly see how red his palm was. It was not water...but...it was actually blood...

The strong smell of blood hit his face, and the man's brain began to lose focus. He stood up unsteadily, but in his mind, he thought of his wife's words at home just now.

Could it be that it is really...

He glanced at the lake, then quickly turned away, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath: "No...impossible."

Yes, how is it possible? The talk of gods and ghosts is just nonsense!

The child is silent, the strange power confuses the spirit, and all kinds of gods and ghosts are the foolish opinions of ignorant people.

If there really were ghosts in this world, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

With such determination, the man clenched his fists, but his palms felt clammy.

He quickly rubbed his palms cleanly on the handrail, as hard as if he was going to break a layer of skin.

When the burning pain in his palms became unbearable, he adjusted his mood and walked back in vain.

The man walked along the main street for a long time until he passed by the door of his house, but he did not enter. Instead, he stopped at the door, looked around, turned around, and ran to the alley next to him.

It was pitch dark in the alley, but he walked very familiarly.

After walking for a while, he finally stopped at the end of the alley, picked up the wooden stick lying next to him, and started digging into the muddy ground next to him.

Inside, a black package was quickly dug out. Without taking the package out, he just spread his hands and grabbed a handful. After feeling it out, he made sure that the item was correct, quickly tied it up, and buried it back again.

After filling the mud, the man stood up, wiped the mud stains on his body casually, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and walked out of the alley.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw a silhouette standing there quietly in front of the narrow alley.

Almost instantly, his voice changed tone: "Who is there!"

His voice was not loud, but his tone was trembling, and he was obviously very scared, but the silhouette remained motionless. After a long time, he raised his legs and walked forward extremely slowly.

Seeing the silhouette getting closer and closer, the man could only retreat.

He stepped back step by step, and the other party pressed forward step by step. At this time, many thoughts passed through the man's mind, but the most important thing he thought about was only one thing - was the person he encountered now a human or a ghost?

A gust of cool wind blew, and the hot sweat on the man's head was blown to his bones.

He shivered coldly, his back pressed against the wall, and his whole body was trembling.

The silhouette slowly walked up to the man. As the silhouette got closer and closer, the face of the silhouetted person was finally revealed.

The man didn't dare to look at first, but he braved enough to open half of his eye. When he saw the man's face, he was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Zhong...Mr. Zhong?"

Zhong Ziyu was as easy-going and approachable as usual, looking at him with a smile on his face, and said in a gentle voice: "Master Li, this is midnight, you and I can meet by chance. It is really a coincidence."

What a coincidence? A chance encounter?

Li Lin swallowed, his body still stiff, and he struggled to speak: "It's... it's a coincidence... it's a coincidence..."

Zhong Ziyu's eyes showed concern: "Master Li, you seem a little uncomfortable?" He said, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Li Lin.

Li Lin took it, thanked him, held the handkerchief, and wiped it on his face.

Until he felt more comfortable, Li Lin glanced at the mud pit next to him guiltily, then deliberately turned sideways and asked awkwardly: "Mr. Zhong... Mr. Zhong, it's so late, why haven't you returned home yet?"

Zhong Ziyu lifted the object in his hand: "Young Master Yu invited you to a poetry gathering, and I was just about to go back. However, I saw you looking in a hurry, Young Master Li, on the way, so I was worried for a while and followed you over to take a look."

Although Li Lin secretly scolded him for being nosy, he nodded respectfully and said, "Sorry to trouble you, sir."

Zhong Ziyu smiled and looked around: "It's the middle of the night, Mr. Li, why are you here?"

Li Lin twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "This... is really unspeakable. I had a few tempers with my wife, and... I kicked her out. She said that she had to go around the area in a complete circle before she could go back to the house, so I’ll just…”

Zhong Ziyu nodded: "My wife is a sweetheart."

"Naughty, extremely naughty." Li Lin said.

Zhong Ziyu glanced at Li Lin again and asked, "Well, now can I..."

Li Lin nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I've finished my detour. I've finished my detour. When I go back to the bathroom, I'd like to trouble Mr. Zhong. I'm really ashamed. I just hope that sir, you can keep this little bit of privacy... don't... don't talk to outsiders." That’s good.”

"Don't worry, Mr. Li." Zhong Ziyu looked gentle.

Li Lin looked at him dubiously, his brows furrowed tightly. He really didn't know if Zhong Ziyu saw him digging into the package.

Logically speaking, I just ran into him when I went out, so I probably didn't see him.

But this man's face was full of smiles, gentle and polite, but under this smile, it always made him feel creepy.

I just hope that I have overthought it.

He walked out of the dark alley with Zhong Ziyu. Li Lin didn't go back to the alley until he watched Zhong Ziyu leave, dug out the package and looked around.

Simply, when he saw a dog hole next to him, he hid the package in the dog hole and covered it with some scattered trash.

After looking around to make sure no one knew, he left uneasy.

Zhong Ziyu's sudden appearance kept Li Lin awake all night.

Early the next morning, Li Lin went to the alley with dark circles under his eyes. Looking at the shelters that were still neatly arranged, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still moved the things away uneasily and reached into the dog hole. .
