C47 Cousin Run

"Ah! Ghost!" Yaoyao suddenly covered her ears and opened her mouth wide. She used a girl's unique sharp voice to shout. Her pale face really looked like she had seen a ghost.

"Ghost? Are you kidding me? Is there a ghost behind me? Stop joking, how can there be a ghost behind me? Ah!" The youth who was teasing Yaoyao looked at Yaoyao's tightly shut eyes. As he teased her, he turned his head to look behind him.

He turned his head and was shocked. He instinctively screamed and jumped away.

Yaoyao saw that the youth also jumped away. She immediately hugged the youth's arm and said tremblingly, "Brother, what is that thing? Let's quickly escape. "

"Run? What if we bring this ghost home?" The young man's voice also started to tremble. He forced himself to remain calm as he stood in front of Yaoyao. His closed eyes slightly opened and formed a small slit.

Not far away from them, in a hidden flower bush, a burnt dirty hand slowly stretched out. Then, a head with unkempt hair and a face full of blood slowly stretched out.

The night sky was dark and the moon was high in the sky. The night wind was blowing. In the ruins that had just been burnt, a "object" that looked like a human but was beyond recognition suddenly crawled out. The two young boys and girls suddenly screamed, "Ghost! Help!"

A sad cry was heard. That strange "object" trembled its hands that were covered in dirt and looked powerless. It wanted to grab onto something like the ground and crawl forward. Then, a series of sad cries was heard.

"Ah, let's go, cousin! Run! Ghost!" Yaoyao screamed and turned around to run.

The young man quickly grabbed Yaoyao's hand with one hand. "Yaoyao, wait a moment!"

"Shen Minglei, I don't want to wait. I want to leave!" Yaoyao stamped her feet with all her might. She turned her face away from the strange "object. " At this moment, she only felt her heart beat violently.

"Yaoyao, calm down. That is a person, not a ghost. " The young man who was called Shen Minglei by Yaoyao had a trace of fear. He looked at the moving object curiously and took a deep breath. He mustered his courage and shook Yaoyao off.

"You are lying. . . " After all, Yaoyao was still so young and she was a girl. Of course, she was not as bold and curious as Shen Minglei.

"Mingzhe?" That strange object suddenly made a strange sound. "Brother. . . "

"Brother? Minglei?" Shen Minglei frowned strangely. He took two steps towards the strange object and said, "You know me?"

"You are the elder brother?" Shen Minglei got closer and heard the object. No, to be precise, It's an injured woman. Although her voice was hoarse and unpleasant to hear, Shen Minglei could tell that she was a woman. He hesitated for a moment. He said, "I am the elder brother. My name is Shen Minglei. Who are you? Do you need me to call an ambulance for you? "

"Cousin, what are you doing? Let's go!" Yaoyao was even more anxious. She urged Shen Minglei, but did not dare to go back first.

"She is really human! You see, she will bleed. She still has a shadow. Look! " Shen Minglei said in a low voice.

Yaoyao slowly turned her head to look at the "thing" that she thought was a ghost under his encouragement. She found that it was just as Shen Minglei had said and felt slightly relieved. She watched Shen Minglei talking to the "thing" from afar, afraid that it would be contaminated by something unclean.

"Shen Minglei? You are not Su Mingzhe? You are not my brother. " This hoarse voice sounded like the unpleasant sound of scrap metal being ground on blunt weapons.

Shen Minglei frowned. He listened carefully and finally heard what this woman said. He said, "Your brother is just like me, with the word 'Ming' in his name!"

Shen Minglei hesitated for a moment, approached the woman, and squatted down. "How are you? I will call an ambulance for you now. Okay? "

"No!" The woman's voice was scared and flustered. Shen Minglei could clearly see that her face, which had been burned beyond recognition, was covered with tears and fear. "If that devil finds out about this, I will definitely die again. I don't want to die again. . . "

The woman's trembling hand suddenly grabbed Shen Minglei's hand. It was as if she had used all her strength to grab the thing that she thought was her life-saving straw. "Please, help me. You must not send me to the hospital. "

"But, you will die!" Shen Minglei hesitated for a moment. He did not want to meddle in other people's business, but he could not bear to see this woman die here. "There were so many policemen just now. Since you weren't burned to death, why didn't you call for help?"

The woman did not speak. Her eyes were rolling with tears.

The only thing that was clean on her face was her watery eyes. Tears were flowing out of her eyes.

The salty tears rolled over the wound on her face. She felt a heart-wrenching pain.

She looked at Shen Minglei with a pleading look and said, "Please help me, I will definitely repay you!"

"Cousin, let's leave quickly, don't meddle in other people's business!" Yaoyao, who was there watching the commotion in fear but could not hear what they were talking about, reminded him in a low voice. If it was not because she was afraid that she would encounter something even stranger on the way, She would have run home alone long ago!

Shen Minglei comforted Yaoyao and turned around to see the pleading look in the woman's eyes. Her eyes were filled with desire. Her face was so dirty, there were burn marks on it, and there were traces of blood.

There was not a single clean spot on her hair and body.

However, her eyes were like an ancient well filled with spring water, deep and sucking, making it impossible to reject her request.

Shen Minglei stared at the eyes and suddenly woke up. He stuttered and said, "I don't know you. I can only call an ambulance for you. I can only help you call the police. Apart from that, forgive me for being powerless!"

"No!" The woman's tears rolled down again. Perhaps it was because her throat had been choked by too much smoke, or perhaps it was because she had been burned. At this moment, it was so difficult for her to speak, but she still held back the pain and the unconscious look on her face as she explained, "If you do this, Just send me to hell. I beg you, don't do this "

" But, I. . . "

"As long as you help me, I will repay you. " The woman said confidently.

Shen Minglei looked at the woman suspiciously.

The woman seemed to remember something. She slowly let go of Shen Minglei's hand. She forced herself to support her body a little, and let go of her other hand, which was tightly holding onto Shen Minglei's hand.

Her entire body was jet black. Perhaps she had been burned, or perhaps she had been tainted by the burnt filth. However, her hand was unusually clean.

Her trembling hand reached in front of Shen Minglei. Her hand was slowly trembling, and her delicate fingers spread out in front of Shen Minglei. A delicate bracelet lay quietly in her palm that was as white as a lotus root. Under the moonlight, a ray of light flickered. She immediately closed her palm.

Shen Minglei's eyes lit up!

This woman had been carefully observing his expression, so she smiled and said, "Look at your clothes and your speech. You should be a rich man living nearby, help me. . . It shouldn't be difficult. Since you don't believe that I will repay you, then I will use the only valuable thing on my body to exchange for it. I think. . . The money for this item should be enough!"

Shen Minglei did not say anything. He just stared into the woman's eyes, as if he was deep in thought.

"Cousin, what are you doing? Is there something in her hand?" The smart girl asked from behind.

"Nothing! Don't come over. She was badly burned and looked very scary. You'd better stay there. " Shen Minglei comforted Yaoyao and said.

"Okay. " Yaoyao agreed.

"Although you are very young, I heard your conversation just now. I believe that if you really want this thing, you should be able to recognize it with your eyes!" Although this woman's voice was unpleasant to hear, it was filled with bewitchment.

"Oh?" Shen Minglei did not say much.

"This is the Star of the Desert that you want. Since you are unwilling to tell your sister. . . I suppose you need this as well. What a coincidence. I just happen to have this thing. Tell me about it. Are we fated to meet?" The woman had been looking at Shen Minglei's expression seriously. "You know, in order to protect this thing, I. . . How many times?"

She smiled foolishly. "Including this time, there are three times!"

"Three times?" Shen Minglei was a little surprised. This woman should be. . . She wasn't that old, so why did she have to go through three life and death situations?

"Yes. The first time was in a place called "Night Club. " I would rather sacrifice myself to protect it. The second time was in a waste iron factory. This is the third time!" Su Wan said.

"This thing is so precious. How can you make me believe that what you have is real?" Shen Minglei cautiously looked at this woman. "If you have this thing, It should be a rich young lady. If that's the case, how did you end up like this? If this is not yours. . . If this isn't yours, then you stole it. If you stole it, then give it to me. I will also cause trouble!"

"You are still so young, yet you are so cautious. You are indeed very smart! " This woman's voice came over, as if she was already very mature: "If I can tell you the legend of the Star of the Desert, will you believe me?"

Shen Minglei frowned and began to think.

The legend of the Star of the Desert, only those who had it, or those who had paid attention to it for more than two years, would know.

This was a story that very few people in the industry knew!

"Tell me about it. " Shen Minglei tried to help the woman up a little.

The woman was covered in wounds. She seemed to have become numb to his support. She used Shen Minglei's strength to change her posture a little, and said, "The Star of the Desert is the last piece of work that came from the world-famous jewelry master, Cartier's first master, before he passed away, right?"

Shen Minglei raised his eyebrows and said, The Star of the Desert is the last piece of work that came from the world's famous jewelry master, Cadiya, right?" What else?"

"In the past, Cadiya's first master was not famous. So very few people knew him. His name was Meiason! When Meiason was young, He didn't have much achievements, but he had a lover. Because he did not have the ability. Under the oppression of the family, this English girl married a prince of the British noble family. Meiason was sad and went to the north of the desert. He wandered alone. Because of his grief, he wanted to die here. However, he unexpectedly obtained three diamonds, which he called Star of the Deserts. These three diamonds symbolized the love of reviving the dead. He was able to find the largest diamonds in the world even in the desert. In other words, the world is filled with hope!"
