Li Rui explained, "I just got off work and saw your car parked here at the intersection. I thought you broke down, so I came over to take a look. Are you okay?"
Wen Moshi said, "I'm fine. You can go. Don't worry about me."
Li Rui said, "I don't care about you, but it's raining so heavily. You'd better go home. It's not good to stay here."
Wen Moshi was unhappy when she heard that. She said coldly, "You said you don't care about me, but you still care about me? What right do you have to care about me? "
Li Rui was not angry. He smiled and said, "I'm not caring about you. I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not." With that said, he walked back to the car.
Although he had a certain degree of affection for Wen Moshi, it was only in the sense of a friend. It did not involve ambiguity or indecency. Therefore, he left quickly after doing his duty as a friend and did not pester her.
"Beep …"
The Jaguar suddenly let out a short whistle. Li Rui heard it and looked back. Seeing that the car window was not rolled up, he walked back and asked the little beauty in the car, "Why did you call me?"
Wen Moshi asked, "Are you free now?"
Li Rui was stunned and said, "Yes, I'm already off work. What do you want to do?"
Wen Moshi said, "I said last time that I'll give you another painting. Now that you have time, come back to Ink Ink Court with me to pick one."
Li Rui was extremely surprised. He looked at the sky and the rain and said, "I'll go another day. It's so late now, and it's raining …"
Wen Moshi interrupted, "I'm no longer in Qingyang if you go another day."
Li Rui was shocked again. He looked at her in disbelief. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked tentatively, "You're going back to Beijing to prepare for the engagement, right?"
Wen Moshi said, "I'm not getting engaged. I'll get married directly. So once I leave, I might never come back."
Li Rui looked at her in a daze. After a while, he said, "Congratulations!"
Wen Moshi seemed to be most afraid of hearing the word "congratulations". After hearing it, her pretty face sank and she said impatiently, "Are you going or not? If you're not going, then get lost! "
Li Rui asked, "When will you leave Qingyang?"
Wen Moshi lost her patience. She reached out to press the button and rolled up the car window.
Li Rui quickly said, "Alright, alright, I'll go, I'll go. You drive in front, I'll follow you. "After saying that, she ran back to the car.
The two of them each drove their own carriages, one in front and one behind. Braving the rain, they rushed to the west, north, and east. After making a small detour, they arrived at the entrance of Fragrant Ink Garden.
Wen Moshi didn't open an umbrella when she got out of the car. Braving the pitter-patter of rain, she ran to the door to unlock it. When Li Rui rushed to the entrance, she had already entered the shop.
"Take your pick!"
Wen Moshi turned on the lights and walked around the shop. She glanced at the paintings on the wall and said to Li Rui with a hint of loneliness on her face.
Li Rui nodded, but he didn't look at the paintings. Instead, he asked, "What about your paintings? Take them away? Where's the shop? "
Wen Moshi glared at him as if she disliked him for talking too much. She turned around and walked to the stairs, running to the second floor.
Li Rui shook his head in boredom and walked around the wall. As he walked, he looked at the paintings on the wall. He already had the painting of an old temple in the mountains from before and didn't plan to take it anymore. This time, he planned to pick one for the principal of the Provincial Agricultural University, Chi Guohua.
After walking half a round downstairs, Li Rui still didn't see anything he liked. Suddenly, he heard a cry from the second floor. It seemed to be from Wen Moshi. His heart skipped a beat, and he ran up the stairs.
On the second floor, Wen Moshi was standing at the east side of the house. She was looking at a wooden window in the south, her face full of surprise and panic.
"What's wrong?"
Li Rui walked to her side and asked gently as he looked in the direction she was looking at.
Wen Moshi raised her left arm and pointed at the window with a trembling finger. She stammered, "What … What … Is that?"
The window was a pair of hollow windows with the word "Fu" carved in ancient wood. They were inlaid with a layer of glass. Outside the window was the backyard of Fragrant Ink Garden. It was raining outside, and the rain mist drifted in the air. They couldn't see anything, and could only hear the pitter-patter of rain.
Li Rui looked at it a few times, but he didn't see anything strange. He was very puzzled and asked, "What's that? I don't see anything. "
Wen Moshi had been staring at him nervously. When she heard him say that, her beautiful eyes glared and her dark brows furrowed as if she was questioning him. It was so close, but you didn't see anything?
Li Rui shrugged and shook his head.
Wen Moshi turned back to look out the window. Her expression suddenly became very strange. She took a few steps toward the window and suddenly exclaimed softly. She stepped back and pointed at the window. "You'll see it if you take two steps forward. It ran down."
Li Rui was very puzzled about what she was talking about. He simply walked to the window and opened the one on the left. At this time, the rain wasn't heavy, and the wind was weaker. It was difficult for the raindrops outside to splash into the house, so when he opened the window, he didn't have to worry about the raindrops wetting the paintings hanging on the walls in the house.
As soon as the window was opened, a gust of cool wind rushed in. The wind carried a trace of moisture, but it was more of an earthy smell. The leaves of a few small trees in the backyard rustled in the wind. The weak tree trunks swayed back and forth, as if they would break at any time. Looking at the starry sky, it was already covered in dark clouds. Two flashes of lightning occasionally flashed in the horizon, bringing a sense of power and fierceness to the dark sky. Another clap of thunder exploded in the air not far away. With a "Ka La" sound, it made people tremble with fear.
Li Rui stood in front of the window and looked around. He seemed to have already seen the strange thing that made Wen Moshi cry out in surprise.
He saw a round and bright thing floating three to four meters above the ground in the backyard. It was the size of a football and looked like a fireball. It also looked like a full moon that had fallen to the mortal world. It was more like a will-o '-the-wisp. It wasn't affected by gravity at all. It was up and down, sometimes forward and sometimes backward, floating and dancing in the air. It could be said to be extremely strange.
Although it wasn't far away, Li Rui couldn't see what it was clearly. Driven by curiosity, he stared at it without blinking. He wanted to see where it ended up and what it was.
During this period, a few more bolts of lightning flashed in the cloudy sky. One of them was right above Ink Ink Garden. When the lightning appeared, it illuminated the scenery in the courtyard clearly. Taking advantage of this time, Li Rui carefully observed the unknown thing, but he could only see that it looked like a fireball. But strangely, there were no flames or flames on it.
"Do you see it?"
Wen Moshi saw that Li Rui had stopped moving in front of the window and was looking down. He seemed to have discovered something, so she asked.
Li Rui nodded repeatedly.
Wen Moshi asked nervously, "What is that? When I walked over just now, I saw it floating in the air outside the window. It gave me a fright. "
Li Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I don't know either. It looks like a fireball, but there are no flames on it. Also, what can burn into such a perfect ball? It can even float in the air. Its flight path is so magical and its speed is so slow. I suspect it's a will-o '-the-wisp. "
Wen Moshi cried out, "A will-o '-the-wisp?"
Li Rui said, "It's a will-o '-the-wisp. Of course, I'm just guessing. In fact, even if there is a will-o '-the-wisp, it can't be so big. Also, it's raining so heavily. Why can't it be extinguished? "
Wen Moshi said hesitantly, "It can't be … it can't be a ghost that turned into a fire, right? A ghost that turned into a fire isn't afraid of the rain. "
Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Will-O '-the-wisp has always been explained as a will-o' -the-wisp. When did you say that it was a ghost that turned into a fire? Don't scare yourself. "
Wen Moshi said stubbornly, "But if it's not a ghost, why can it fly? Why isn't it afraid of the rain? Why can it burn for so long? "
Li Rui was stumped by her questioning. He was speechless and found it very strange. He suddenly thought of something and took out his phone. He took a few photos of the fireball and planned to find some time to ask someone who knew.
After he finished taking the last photo and put away his phone, he was shocked to find that the fireball had flown up at an angle and was already floating outside the window. It was less than a meter away from the window, and he could already feel a terrifying and terrifying aura.
Li Rui was shocked and had a bad feeling. He took a few steps back and said, "Why did it come up again?"
Wen Moshi shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Li Ruixin said, "Could it be that it's alive and heard our conversation?"
Wen Moshi suddenly realized something and cried out involuntarily, "It's floating towards the window!" After saying that, she took a few steps back.
Li Rui turned to look. Yes, the fireball first flew out of the window and was parallel to the window. Now, it was floating towards the window. However, the space outside was so big. It didn't fly towards the sky or the ground, but flew into the house. What was the reason? Could it be that it was really a ghost who died unjustly? Did it want him and Wen Moshi, two living people, to uphold justice for it? Thinking of this, his heart pounded in fear.
"What should we do? It … It's coming in! "
Wen Moshi's voice sounded from the side again.
Li Rui looked over and saw that the fireball … No, to be precise, it was a ball of light. Now that it was close, and with the light in the house, he could clearly see the characteristics of the ball. It seemed to be surrounded by flickering silver light, occasionally mixed with blue light. If he listened carefully, there seemed to be the sound of electric current, which gave him goosebumps. It slowly floated towards the window. It wasn't fast, but it wasn't slow either. It was getting closer and closer.
Wen Moshi went behind Li Rui in a panic and reached out to push his back. She said, "What should we do? It's really coming in! Quickly think of a way. "
Li Rui turned around and looked at her. He was angry and amused at the same time. It was one thing for this girl to run behind him, but she actually had the intention of pushing him out. Wasn't this selling him out? An idea came to him and he said, "Why don't I close the window?"
Wen Moshi was scared out of her wits. She subconsciously maintained endless trust in this man, so she naturally listened to him and shouted, "Okay, go quickly. Why didn't I think of that … Quickly close the window and don't let it in."
