She quickly dropped the bamboo tube in her hand, ran to me, and asked with concern.
I was afraid that the old lady would see her flaws, so I had to hold back my nausea and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I'm just a little uncomfortable. Maybe I caught a cold last night!"
While speaking, I had already put my hand in the magic bag on my waist, preparing to use Guan Gong's ghost-killing talisman to deal with the old lady.
Just when I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a soft cough coming from behind me.
"Hmm!"
I looked back and saw the old man coming out with a long iron rod in his hand. At this time, there was still the sun in the sky. I looked behind the old man and saw a dark streak behind him.
silhouette.
You can see the shadow, which means that the old man is a human being, not a ghost at all.
If it wasn't a ghost, my use of the talisman would be of no use at all.
Watching the old man slowly walking towards me with the iron rod in his hand, my heart was in my throat.
His uncle, is this the rhythm of killing people?
I can't just be killed by this old man.
This old man is getting closer and closer to me.
I glanced around with my peripheral vision. The yard was quite high. I guess it would be difficult to escape with my current climbing ability.
What should I do? It’s impossible to look at this old man and beat him to death with a stick!
Looking at the iron rod in the old man's hand, my heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to burst out of my heart.
"Uncle!" I said hello to the old man with a dry smile, trying to attract his attention, and then rushed past him.
"Well!" The old man just glanced at me lightly, then raised his face again and called to the old lady behind him: "Old lady, I'm going to go out first, there seems to be a thief in the house behind me."
"Hey! Go ahead!"
The old lady responded.
The old man nodded and smiled at me, and explained: "Little brother, you sit here for a while, and I'll be back when I go. Don't leave! We haven't had enough to drink yet!"
After saying that, the old man picked up the iron rod in his hand, put it on his shoulder, turned around and walked towards the main room. After a while, he went out again.
Looking at the old man's leaving figure, I felt nervous for a while.
The scene just now was truly scarier than seeing a ghost.
I took out my phone and saw that it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. It was not far from the time when the sun set. I decided to leave here first.
"Auntie, I'm going back first." I said to the old lady.
"What's the point? Let's wait until Fengying's father comes back before leaving! This old man has a very weird temper. You have already agreed to drink with him, but if you just leave like this, he will be angry."
said the old lady.
"But the sun is going down, and it's not safe on the road this late. Just say, I'll come and drink with him another day when I'm free. Or let him go to Fengying's husband's house, and I'll definitely have a few drinks with him."
After hearing what I said, the old lady hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and agreed to me.
"Okay! Just wait for me in the hall for two minutes. I'll come back as soon as I go. Don't leave! I still have something to bring back to Fengying."
After saying that, the old lady turned around and walked towards the main room.
I followed him back to the hall.
After a while, the old lady entered the wing and came out holding a pair of embroidered shoes and a pair of cloth shoes.
"Here, follow our rules. If you are a first-time visitor, you should give a gift. So, I sent you a pair of cloth shoes. You can take another pair of embroidered shoes back to my daughter Fengying! She knows what's going on.
.”
"OK!"
I took two pairs of shoes from the old lady's hands and looked at them. They were quite finely made.
The old lady smiled at me and said, "I made it all by myself, and it's strong! Remember, you must give it to Fengying! Otherwise, I will have to trouble you."
"Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely hand it over to Fengying with my own hands! I'm leaving first. I often come to Fengying's mother-in-law's house to play when I have time."
I nodded and smiled at the old lady, said goodbye to her, turned around and walked out of the house.
The old lady personally sent me to the entrance of the village.
The people in this family are so terrifying. They actually use living people to make wine. Although they are not ghosts, they are more terrifying than ghosts.
I really want to run forward as fast as I go out.
However, the old lady kept following me, so I just had to run away if I didn't feel embarrassed.
"Okay, aunt, don't send me away. I will leave by myself."
I saw that the old lady had already sent it to the entrance of the village, so I asked her to stop sending it.
"Okay! Then I won't give it away." The old lady nodded with a smile and stopped.
I glanced behind the old lady inadvertently and was startled.
The old lady in the sun could not see a shadow. Looking at the tree in front, the tree had a shadow.
My heart couldn't help but tremble.
Just then, I saw a person coming from a distance. I took a closer look and saw that it was the old man Ren Jiujin from before.
"Hey! Little brother, why did you leave so quickly? Didn't you agree to have a drink with me?"
The old man was dragging a long iron rod in his hand and was walking towards me quickly.
I saw a slanting shadow behind him. When he walked to the old lady's side, one person had a shadow and the other person had no shadow, forming a sharp contrast.
Obviously, the old man is a human being, but the old lady is a ghost.
But I don’t know why, I would rather see this old woman than this old man.
When I saw the iron rod in the old man's hand, I felt panicked. I felt that the old man was more ruthless than the ghost old lady.
Needless to say, this guy must be a murderer.
The old man was walking towards me dragging an iron rod. The head of the iron rod in his hand was faintly stained with blood. It was obvious that he had just attacked someone.
I don’t know if the old man killed the so-called “thieves” with an iron rod.
Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but tighten. I immediately thought of the young explorers I met when I came here.
I remember that when I entered the old man's house, those young explorers happened to be walking towards the village and apparently entered the house behind the old man.
If that's the case, wouldn't it just match up with the "thieves" the old man said? I hope nothing happens to them.
I began to feel a little worried for them.
The old man has arrived in front of me,
"Little brother, come back with me!"
His eyes fell on my face, and then looked at my injured hand.
Suddenly I saw the old man reaching over and grabbing my hand, with a weird smile on his face: "Is your hand feeling better now?"
When the old man said this, there was greed in his eyes, and he would lick the corner of his mouth with his tongue from time to time.
This action reminded me unconsciously of the man soaking in the vat.
Is it possible that this damn old man still wants to take me back to make wine? Damn it, uncle.
"Uncle, I have to go back." I quickly pulled my hand back.
The old man seemed a little unhappy. He turned to me with a straight face and said, "How can this be done? We agreed to have two drinks."
"Old man, just let him go back! This is my husband's family. Don't mess around..." The old woman winked at the old man desperately. After a while, she added: "What if he gets drunk?"
"I have my own sense of propriety." The old man glanced at the old lady impatiently, then turned to me and smiled: "Little brother, why don't you stay tonight! Let's have a good drink.
"
"Old man, what are you doing? You are addicted to alcohol, right? This is my husband's family, and I have to go back the same day to announce the good news." The old lady's face darkened, and she glared at the old man seriously.
A bit of displeasure flashed across the old man's face. He glanced at my hand with some reluctance, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! You go back first! Come back to play another day when you have time. I'll let Jiu Jin
Always at home.”
"Yeah! I'll come when it's convenient." I smiled at the old man and nodded, "Okay, I'm leaving."
After that, I turned around and walked forward.
After walking a few steps, I heard a gentle muttering behind me.
"What the hell are you doing? You even hit your mother-in-law's family for paying attention. This is someone sent by your daughter!"
"Oh! I can't help it. I'm addicted to seeing blood. The blood on that kid smells so good. I guess it's pure Yang blood."
"How's it going? Have you caught those thieves?" the old lady asked.
"I've already beaten one to death and threw him into a vat."
As soon as I heard this, I felt numb in my back.
I quickened my steps and hurried forward quickly.
My uncle, I never thought that this old man was a murderer. No wonder Fengying didn’t agree with me going to his natal family. It seems that she knew it!
But why does this old guy live with a ghost old lady?
Ignore him, I'd better leave here first! Never come back to this damn place again.
I couldn't help my curiosity and glanced behind me, and saw that the old lady and the old man had already entered the house.
A ray of setting sun fell on the village in the distance. Three adobe houses were faintly visible in the bloody sunlight. If you look closely, they looked like three tombs.
After looking at it for a while, I finally came to my senses and realized it was getting late.
I looked up in the air and couldn't help but shout: "I'm going! It's not even three o'clock and the sun is going to set. Go back quickly."
The sky in the mountains really gets faster. I could still see a glimmer of the setting sun before, but when I turned around and ran forward, not even a glimmer of the setting sun disappeared, and the whole sky became dark.
I didn't think too much and ran quickly. I thought, I can run as far as I can. Anyway, it's only two miles, so it won't take long to get home.
As I was running, I suddenly heard a soft chant from the front, and under the dim light of the night, I could faintly see a figure.
I slowed down and walked forward slowly. Gradually, the figure in front of me became clearer.
Under the hazy night, a purple dress and a fair face were faintly visible.
"Ziyue, why are you here?"
When I saw the girl in front of me, I couldn't help but feel excited and shouted loudly.
Ziyue fell to the ground, looked up at me in surprise, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Qiao Yang, why is it you? Great! I am finally saved."
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I..." Ziyue wanted to get up, but soon she frowned in pain: "I sprained my foot."
She looked at me pitifully.
"Come, I'll carry you. Leave this place first." I squatted down in front of Ziyue.
"No, I can't just leave. They are still trapped inside!" Ziyue shook her head and said.
"Them? You mean those explorers? Where are they trapped?" I asked.
"Trapped in the auxiliary tomb of the prince's tomb." Ziyue replied to me, and then asked me suspiciously: "Didn't you come out of the prince's tomb just now?"
"Me?" I smiled bitterly and said, "I came from the village in front of me. Here! It's the bamboo forest in front of me."
"That's the prince's tomb! As soon as the six of us entered the auxiliary tomb, we met the Yin soldiers. As a result, we were all separated. I don't know what happened to them now?" Ziyue said with a worried look: "How about you take me with you?
Let me go in and have a look!"
Hearing what this girl said, my heart became even more confused. In my eyes, this was just a village. But in this girl's eyes, it turned into a prince's tomb.
Regardless of whether I am right or she is right, at least one of us must have been blinded by a ghost.
"Girl, this place is too evil. There will be ghost fog at night, which is very dangerous. We'd better leave as soon as possible. Besides, you have sprains on your feet now. Even if you find them, can you beat the Yin soldiers?"
