Chapter 4 Pretending to be a mage

"Pop! Whoosh!!!"

The flare pierced the night sky, illuminating the area within a few hundred meters pale. Through the bright light, the situation in the center of the pond was revealed to the three of them.

A woman wearing a pure white kimono stood on the water in defiance of the law of gravity, with her knee-length hair turned forward to cover her face. She held a shamisen in her hand and kept playing...

"Ghost! Ghost!"

"Wow!"

Zhao Daniu didn't wait for Li Jinhui's order, got down and set up the Browning machine gun, pulled the bolt, and took aim at the woman.

Li Jinhui didn't believe it was a ghost, and quickly shouted in a low voice: "Daniu, wait, don't hit anyone. Xiaolin, fire another flare! Then Daniel immediately fired a warning shot over the woman's head!"

Lin Guodong wanted to turn around and run away, but the captain gave the order, so he had to tremble and take out a new flare, load it, and shoot it tremblingly over the pond.

"Pop! Whoosh!!!"

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!! Ta-ta-ta!!!"

When the flare took off again, Zhao Daniu pulled the trigger and fired several bursts over the head of the woman in the center of the pond.

When the first flare was launched, most of the people in several rows of wooden houses within the barbed wire fence were awakened.

Now there was another burst of gunfire, and the prisoners exploded, stretching their necks to look out the window. Only Wei Bizai was still lying on the bed, humming a ditty with his hands on the pillow.

Other prison guards left some personnel to guard the prison, lit torches and rushed towards the pond.

When the large troops rushed to the pond and the torches illuminated the water, everyone saw an even more horrifying scene.

Lin Guodong was standing on the water like the woman in white, walking slowly towards the center of the pond!

The woman in kimono was playing the shamisen by herself, completely ignoring the horrified looks and noises of everyone.

"Bah bang bang!!!"

"Bang bang! Bang!!!"

"Da da da!!!"

Li Jinhui came to his senses, took out his pistol, and shot at the woman in white. Others quickly picked up their weapons and greeted the "female ghost" together.

"Eh~ah!!!!!"

After a burst of fire from various long and short guns, the woman in white let out a long roar and quickly sank into the water.

At this time, Lin Guodong, who was floating on the water like a sleepwalker, also fell into the water with a "plop!" and flopped up and down on the water like a drowned rooster.

Zhao Daniu gritted his teeth, dropped the machine gun, jumped into the water and swam towards Lin Guodong. Li Jinhui and two other prison guards who knew water skills also quickly dropped their weapons and jumped into the water, and together they dragged the shocked Lin Guodong back to the shore.

When there was chaos outside, only Wei Bi knew that today's events were over. Thinking that she had not been here long anyway, she could just relax for a few days as she pleased, so she fell asleep.

The next day, the third night... As the days passed, like a demonstration, the sound of the shamisen, which was a little louder than the first night, sounded exactly at one o'clock in the morning every day, and played until the sun rose in the east.

.

The news that the sound of the piano was caused by the haunting of the east pond also spread from the prison guards to the ears of the prisoners.

What's even more exaggerated is that during the day, if there are dark clouds or light rain, this sound will also sound.

As for Lin Guodong, since he floated on the water that night, his whole temperament has changed drastically. He seems to be possessed by a demon. He only does four things every day: eat, sleep, excrete, and be in a daze. He never takes the initiative to talk to others.

The prison guards, including Li Jinhui, no longer dared to go to the pond to check, for fear that they would be led into the pond by the Japanese woman like Lin Guodong.

They managed to survive in the hail of bullets and had just become prison guards in New China. No one wanted to die here inexplicably at this time.

Even if I don't die, I don't want to become a fool.

On this day, except for Wei Bi, all the inmates of the Fifth Labor Reform Brigade had dark circles under their eyes. Under the guard of prison guards who also had dark circles under their eyes, they listlessly built the wall.

It was finally time to rest. Taking advantage of the strong sunshine and the absence of the annoying music, the prisoners and the prison guards who were not on guard duty lay down on the spot in twos and threes and fell asleep.

Wei Bi sneakily walked over to Li Jinhui, who was sleeping soundly against the wall under the eaves, squatted down, stretched out his hand and pushed him.

Li Jinhui seemed to be having a nightmare, his brows were furrowed, and his hands were clenched and trembling. After being pushed by Wei Bizai, he woke up and stood up. Seeing who had woken him up, he cursed impatiently: "You are looking for death!"

Why don't you take the time to rest and wait until you are disturbed by ghosts and unable to sleep at night?"

"Haha, sir, do you think that's a ghost?" Wei Bi nodded and bowed.

"I, that's a metaphor, just like you reactionaries are all ghosts and snake gods! There are no ghosts in the world..." Li Jinhui muttered, sitting down again and planning to continue sleeping.

In fact, Li Jinhui's outlook on life has been completely overturned by that female ghost these days.

After reporting the matter to the director on the phone, Li Jinhui was scolded by the director who was from the Seventh Red Army. The director insisted that it must be the work of the secret agents and asked Li Jinhui to increase his vigilance and handle the matter properly.

At this time, Li Jinhui had even planned to ask a Taoist priest to solve the problem deep in his heart.

"Sir, don't sleep yet! I have a way to deal with that female ghost." Wei Bi said after sitting down next to Li Jinhui.

Li Jinhui pulled down the brim of his military cap to cover half of his face. He closed his eyes and said, "You are a defeated general of the Huangpu National Army and a young scholar. What can you do? Did Chiang Kai-shek teach you the art of catching ghosts?"

Wei Bi said: "Haha, the person who taught me back then was the current Prime Minister..."

Li Jinhui said: "If you talk nonsense again, I'll slap you!"

Wei Bi looked around and whispered: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business, sir. In fact, before I was admitted to Whampoa Military Academy, I was an official in my hometown."

Li Jinhui sat up straight, took off his military cap, turned around and raised his hand to slap Wei Bi on the head, scolding: "Are you a liar? I have read your file. You are from a landlord family, how can you be a minister?"

male?"

Wei Bi was stroking the sore head of Li Jinhui's head, and said with an aggrieved look: "It's purely a personal hobby. Now, if you don't believe it, I can show you. You were born in Ding Si, and your family is

You have a total of five brothers and sisters, and your eldest sister got seriously ill and died when you were three years old, right?"

Li Jinhui was completely awake this time. He raised his eyes and looked at Wei Bi in confusion: "You know all this? Then tell me, when was my eldest sister born and when was her birthday?"
