Chapter 10 Skin Change
Duan Miaomiao immediately took Shan Jing's hand and followed Qi Luyi.
The three of them followed the blood trail to the east, turned the corner of the yard, and found a small path leading to the back of the yard.
The path was not paved with stone slabs, so it must have been made by people. Qi Lu used his feet to push open the calf-deep grass, and when he reached the end of the bloodstain, he saw two houses together.
There is smoke coming out of the roof of the house on the right, and you can vaguely smell the aroma of cooking. It should be the kitchen.
The window of the house on the left was wide open. Qi Lu stepped forward to take a look. Inside the house were piles of hay and bundles of firewood.
After Duan Miaomiao and Shan Jing arrived, they saw the kitchen door opened a crack and the blood stains disappeared in front of the door.
Qi Lu put his index finger on his lips to signal silence, and the three of them tiptoed toward the door. The closer they got to the door, the more they could hear the sounds inside.
It is a sound similar to that of a hungry animal chewing food.
Shan Jing was trembling with fright, and Duan Miaomiao patted her gently to comfort her.
Qi Luyi looked in through the crack in the door. He saw what must be a girl squatting in front of the stove filled with smoke. Her back was to the door. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were dirty. She grabbed something from the ground with both hands and put it to her mouth. There was a sound of chewing.
It is from her.
Duan Miaomiao also looked closer to the crack of the door. She patted Qi Luyi and handed him a stone the size of his palm. She didn't know when she picked it up.
Shan Jing also picked up a piece in her hand.
Qi Luyi understood what she meant and used this to defend himself, just in case.
Thinking of this, he slowly opened the door in front of him.
"Squeak——" This small sound hit the hearts of the three people outside the door, and they couldn't help but take a deep breath at the same time.
The "girl" in the room caught the faint sound, stopped her movements, stayed still for a few seconds, and then slowly turned around.
The three of them stared with bated breath until they could clearly see the face hidden by the messy hair of the person in front of them.
"ah---"
A scream pierced the sky. Shan Jing covered her eyes and turned around to run away, but she fainted before running far.
Qi and Duan's feet seemed to be nailed to the spot. Shan Jing's scream brought them back to their thoughts, but they were unable to care about Shan Jing's situation.
The face of that "girl" was reflected in their pupils. No, it could be said that that was probably not a person.
That "girl" clearly had no skin, and her whole face looked like it had been burned, with blood-red mixed with yellow and white tissue, making it hideous and terrifying.
The two holes seemed to be unable to cover the eyeballs, and protruded outwards. Bloodshot eyes covered the eyes, passing through the trembling pupils, and the corners of the eyes were bloodshot.
Under the eyes, where the nose should be, are two small holes, slightly opened and closed. "She" has no mouth, and her rotten teeth are exposed, with residual flesh debris hanging on the teeth.
Perhaps it was the sudden scream that made the "girl" shrink back and lean towards the stove, her teeth chattering and making a "click" sound.
The two of them looked at the scene in front of them. Their throats seemed to be strangled and they could not speak. They saw something in the "girl's" hand. Yes, "she" was chewing a piece of raw meat just now.
After the "girl" saw the two people in front of her clearly, she crawled towards them slowly on hands and feet, stretched out a hand to grab something at them, opened and closed her mouth, and made a sound of "hehe...uh..." in her throat.
.
Duan Miaomiao covered her ears and closed her eyes, her underwear already wet with cold sweat.
Qi Lu stared, and he clearly saw the "girl" opening and closing her mouth, as if she was saying something, and he tried to distinguish it in his blank mind.
At this moment, several guards and maids rushed in from behind the two of them. They stepped forward and roughly dragged her off the ground and away from the door.
"You ran out without looking at me for a while. This is the first time. If the queen finds out, we won't be able to walk around in circles. Come on, you monster!"
A guard said with an angry look.
The "girl" roared heartbreakingly and walked further and further away.
Duan Miaomiao suddenly felt weak in her legs and feet, and fell to the ground, kicking heavily while holding her heartbeat with her hands.
Qi Luyi stared at the minced meat left in front of him, and the "girl"'s face appeared in front of his eyes.
He murmured to himself: "Help, she said help me..."
