"Master Wife, please wake up, Liang Zi is no longer here!"
"No, Li Er'er, you're talking nonsense. Liang Zi and his wife are working in the city. How is he?"
"Master, please stop deceiving yourself. It's time to wake up. Liang Zi entered the pit with Master and me. He, he is dead and cannot come back."
"You're talking nonsense. If I don't beat you to death, how will my Liangzi be doing?"
"Master, after the three of us entered the pit, Master and Liang Zi didn't come out. His wife ran away long ago. The reason why I stay here is to take care of you for Master and Liang Zi. I want to provide for you until you die.
!”
The aunt shook her head,
"No, you are wrong. Liang Zi is fine. He is in the city and he will definitely come back!"
Li Er'er plopped down and knelt down in front of his aunt,
"Master Wife, the pit was full of traps that day. You know the skills of Master and I. Although we escaped the traps, we didn't expect that there was something alive inside. It was a black beetle. This
Liang Zi was the first to die in the mouth of the beetle, but he was eaten into bones by tens of thousands of beetles in an instant. The master used a torch to blast the insects, and the insects were blown away.
The master refused to give up and risked Liang Zi's life. He insisted on walking inside, but I couldn't twist it. Before we could feel sad, we walked back inside again. What happened next was even more terrifying. In an instant, all the lights in the pit were turned on.
When it was bright, the shadows on the ground looked like some kind of formation. There were a few exposed holes on the top, and the moonlight came in and turned out to be the shadows of seven stars.
"What this pit brings in is moonlight! That's the seven-star formation!" Xuan Lei replied.
Li Er'er continued,
"The stone walls inside were all painted up, and a coffin appeared in front of us. We slowly approached, and the mountain shook in an instant, and the coffin lid opened by itself. Master and I wanted to run out, but the stone doors around us were already crowded.
I fell down and saw that the way back was almost closed. Master told me to get out quickly. I quickly got out and reached out to pull Master. As soon as he stuck his head out, he was pulled by something inside.
When I went back, my hand was crushed by the falling stone door!"
"No, I don't believe it. My Liang Zi must still be alive. He must still be alive."
What I didn't expect was that my mother's emotions were completely out of control.
I quickly walked over to comfort her,
"Auntie, don't be like this. Where is Li Er'er?"
"Liangzi, my Liangzi?" The aunt burst into tears with snot in her nose. I really couldn't stand it anymore. The white-haired man left the black-haired man, and he was left alone without his son or his wife.
Xuan Lei looked at the wolf demon,
"Send my aunt back first and guard her every step of the way. Don't make any mistakes."
"Eh!"
The wolf demon supported the aunt and went out. The room was silent.
Li Er'er said,
"I've said everything I need to say. Do you have anything else? If not, just leave. I'm going to bed?" After saying that, Li Er didn't care that we hadn't left yet, and threw himself on the kang.
Xuan Lei and I looked at each other, and Xuan Lei replied,
"I want to go into that pit!"
Li Er'er sneered,
"If you don't want to live long, just go, no one will stop you."
"I want you to take us into that pit." Xuan Lei replied.
Li Er'er opened his eyes, sat up, picked up the half-full bottle of Red Star Erguotou on the kang, took a big sip, and said to Xuan Lei,
"You brat, I think you're looking for death. I've said so much, but you can't understand what I'm saying? You'll die if you go in. So many people have died. You said you're not afraid. I'll take care of you when death is about to happen."
You're so scared that you wet your pants, get out! Don't look for trouble, I won't go with you!"
"The reason you stay here is to provide for your master's wife until her old age. But look at your appearance now. You can't even support yourself. How can you honor your master's wife?" Xuan Lei said.
"Get out of here now, believe it or not, I will smash you to death with a bottle of wine!"
"Even if you don't like to hear it, I have to say that now is a perfect opportunity. If you take me into the pit, I promise that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, so that you can better honor your master's wife, that is
You are worthy of your master, aren't you?"
"Huh, my life is gone, so having food and clothing is of no use."
"I promise you'll be fine."
"What guarantee do you have?"
"This girl and I are not mortals, we both have magic powers!"
"Mana! You..."
Before Li Er'er could finish speaking, Xuan Lei spread his wings.
Li Er held his head in fear and shouted,
"Monster, monster! Don't, don't come over, I have something to say!"
"Xuan Lei, take it back quickly. Did you scare him?" I said quickly.
Xuan Lei retracted his wings,
"Now you should believe me, right?"
Li Er'er slowly put down the arm holding his head,
"Xiang, I believe it! But why do you have to go into that pit?"
I quickly rushed to answer,
“We just want to go see it!”
Xuan Lei nodded,
"Well, I just want to see what's so magical about this tomb. If it's really that evil, there must be some evil spirits, so I'll get rid of the random ones."
"Are you doing justice for heaven, slayers of magic?"
Xuan Lei looked at me, then at Li Er'er, and nodded,
"Um!"
"That's great. I heard in the book that these demon slayers are brave and heroic, and they act chivalrously and slay demons to defend the law. If so, I will take you to the pit, and it will be considered as a way to accumulate good deeds and blessings for myself!"
Can we say that this is not the case? Li Er'er finally agreed and was willing to take us into the pit, so let's just accept it.
"When can we enter that pit?" Xuan Lei asked eagerly.
"Okay, I'll take you into the pit tonight, but you just promised that I would have enough food and clothing in my next life. Look..." Li Er'er replied with a smile.
Xuan Lei calmly put his hand into his suit pocket again,
"I have 20,000 yuan here, take it first..." Before Xuan Lei could finish speaking, Li Er'er stood up and took the money with both hands.
"Hey, this is a life-saving thing. I haven't seen so much money in a long time!"
"Okay, let's wait for you at my aunt's house first. How about you come to us in the evening?" Xuan Lei asked.
"Easy to say, easy to say, I will go look for you when the sun sets, just be prepared!"
"What guy?" Xuan Lei asked.
"You don't know this. It's no wonder. If you have magical powers, you may not need those. We who fight back usually have to bring glutinous rice, black donkey hooves, black dog blood, torches, flashlights, shovels, and flat shovels before setting off."
"Where can we get so many things in such a short time? Didn't you fight upside down before? Didn't you?" Xuan Lei asked.
"There are flat shovels and shovels, but I don't have black dog blood, black donkey hooves, and glutinous rice here! Go and have a look. If you really can't get it, just kill a big rooster and get some chicken blood." Li
Er'er replied.
"What do you want these things for?" Xuan Lei asked.
"I suspect there are living corpses in that pit!"
"Living corpse?"
"Yes, a living corpse is the body of a person who has been dead for a long time."
"Isn't that a zombie?" I asked.
"It's that thing. My master had hope of escaping back then. He just barely escaped and was pulled back by something. I suspect it was a living corpse, that is, a zombie."
To be honest, if I have ever seen zombies, they are the ones in Shebi Country. However, I have never seen the zombies in this grave. I don’t know if they are still conscious or if they are the same as those in horror movies.
What about biting people when you see them?
If that were the case, wouldn't it be dangerous for Ao Run to stay with that thing every day?
I looked at Li Er'er and replied,
"Okay, we'll look for the things you mentioned when we get back. If we can't find them all, we can find a live rooster and kill the chicken to get the blood. Just bring the shovel and shovel with you when you set off!"
"Yeah, okay!"
Xuan Lei and I went out and walked towards my aunt's house. I stopped on the way.
"Come on, why don't you leave?" Xuan Lei asked.
"Xuan Lei, where did you get so much money?"
"This money was exchanged for his beads when I was with you and Ao Run in the sweet garden. He told me to put it here first and take it out when it is useful. This money has never been put to use, so
It's useless. I think this lady and Li Er'er are also very poor today, so let's give it to those in need first!"
"I didn't expect that you, Xuan Lei, are also warm-hearted?"
"Jin'er, you are such a heartless person. I have done this for you, but you have only now discovered that I am a warm-hearted person. My heart is so cool!"
While we were talking, Xuan Lei and I had already arrived at the door of the earthen house where my aunt lived.
"Okay Xuan Lei, don't mention this anymore, and don't talk about us going to the pit at night after we go in. Auntie can't stand the stimulation anymore!"
"It seems that our Jin'er is also very warm-hearted!"
"Screw you, stop being poor, go in and see how the aunt is doing now?" I replied.
Xuan Lei and I entered the house and saw the wolf demon in the outer room, standing in front of the water tank wiping tears.
"Wolf, Brother Wolf, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Auntie, she's gone!"
"What!"
Xuan Lei and I ran into the back room and saw the aunt lying quietly on the earthen bed, still wearing her black boots. At this time, the wolf demon also followed in, and he wiped his tears.
"After I helped the aunt back, the aunt became confused. She kept telling me that there was someone in the room, and she also said that Liang Zi and her wife came to pick her up. The breath just stuck in her throat and did not come up, so it passed like this.
I thought it might be better to give her some water, but I didn’t know that my mother’s mouth was tightly closed. I looked around and found that she was out of breath.”
"Hey, in just a short while, I asked you to take good care of her, how could she just disappear?" Xuan Lei scolded.
"Can you blame me for this? She knows that her son and wife are gone, so she definitely doesn't have much hope for survival. Maybe this is also a good thing for the aunt, and it is a relief!"
"You see, if I don't knock out your teeth, I'll let you talk?" Xuan Lei said.
"Hey, stop arguing. Let's quickly think about how to deal with the aunt's death. This kind of thing has been done by us. The aunt has no relatives or friends, so we can't ignore it. Is that still a person?" I said.
"I'm not a human in the first place," the wolf demon replied.
"you……"
"Okay, you go over and see if there are any clean clothes in the aunt's closet, and then go and boil some hot water. I'll help her wipe her body and let her go on her way clean."
Xuan Lei and Wolf Demon went to the eldest lady's old-fashioned wardrobe and found a set of clean and brand-new shrouds and a pair of embroidered shoes. These must have been prepared by the old man for himself before his death.
"Okay, you two go out first, add some firewood to the stove and boil some hot water?" I said.
Xuan Lei and the wolf demon walked out of the back room. After about ten minutes, Xuan Lei brought in a wooden bucket with towels and hot water in it.
"Xuan Lei, why don't you go out first and I'll wipe your body for the old man?"
"Hmm, do you want to inform Li Er'er about this?" Xuan Lei looked at me and asked.
"There's no need to go now. Let's talk about it later when he comes. After we've packed everything up, and when Li Er comes, we'll bury her!"
"Okay, then the wolf demon and I will go catch a big rooster now. Anyway, we can't help much here now?"
"You go, go and come back quickly. I'm afraid pheasants won't work. If that doesn't work, just buy one from someone else's house!"
"Okay, I know this so you don't have to worry about it. You can just sort out my aunt's body!"
Just like that, Xuan Lei and the Wolf Demon went out. After they left, I took off the aunt's clothes by myself and wiped them clean inside and out. Then I put on the shroud that the aunt prepared before her death. I
When I got up to wash the towel, my hand just touched the basin.
"Girl...thank you!"
My heart almost jumped out of my throat. I slowly turned around and saw the aunt's body still lying on the kang, but her transparent soul sat up.
"Auntie, you, please don't scare me! I'm very timid, I can't help but scare you so much!"
The aunt sat leisurely on the edge of the kang,
"Girl, you are so kind-hearted, how can I bear to scare you? I want to thank you, why don't you come in a hurry? I just want to give you a gift!"
"Mom, just go on your way with peace of mind. I will find a good family in the next life. I don't want anything!"
"This is a treasure left by my old man!"
"baby!"
"Yeah, it's a emerald green flute. Neither my old man nor I understand the music and can't play it. But even if we can't make any sound, as long as we blow that flute, even in the severe winter, the whole house will be able to
All kinds of flowers and grasses grew. Later, my wife was thinking about mushrooms while playing the flute. At that time, the house was filled with various kinds of mushrooms. We had them that winter.
Endless mushrooms!”
"This flute is really good, but why don't you use it to make it more interesting?" I asked.
"I tried it, but this flute can only produce green vines, flowers, trees, and plants. Later, my wife passed away, so I buried the flute under the ground in the yard. When I went out, I started from the threshold.
Ten steps, probably less than one meter deep, I’ll give you this flute. It’s time for me to leave. My wife and Liang Zi are here to pick me up?”
The aunt got up and approached the window, walked out through the window, and saw two men outside, an old man and a young man. One looked about the same age as the aunt, and the other looked like a young man in his twenties. They were standing
The people outside the window smiled and waved to me, and I waved to them involuntarily. Then, the three of them slowly disappeared.
