When I returned to my residence, I saw several large piles of dirt piled outside the house. Gao Xiang pretended to put on an apron and asked me to come in for dinner.
I took Pingwazi into the room. There was already a table of dishes on the dining table, and in the middle was the old hen soup given by Pingwazi. Gao Xiang said that the piles of dirt outside were brought back by Liu Qizhen and Wang Bao, and those two
This guy came back with a gray face and was currently taking a shower.
I asked him if Li Menglan was back, and Gao Xiang said he was, but strangely, he went back to his room as soon as he entered the house and never came out. Gao Xiang went to ask her to eat, but Li Menglan didn't even open the door, so he just said he didn't want to eat.
I took the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen, put some food on the dining table, and walked outside Li Menglan's room and knocked on the door.
"Who?" Li Menglan's cold voice came from the room.
I said: "Me."
"Come in."
I brought the food into the room and put it on the table next to Li Menglan's bed. This was the first time I entered Li Menglan's room. I found that Li Menglan's room was very tidy, and there were no unnecessary things. If it weren't for her cabinet
There were so many clothes on display, I almost doubted I had walked into a hotel room.
I put the food on the table next to Li Menglan's bed and saw that her right arm was wrapped with gauze. It was obvious that she had been injured.
Turning around and closing the door, I asked, "Have you caught me?"
In fact, when I first saw the skinny old man by the river, I became very suspicious of him. Especially the look he gave me from a distance was definitely not what I should expect from a stranger I had never met before.
The look in his eyes. I concluded that he would definitely come to me, so I specially greeted Li Menglan and told her to be more vigilant these past few nights.
That person didn't let me wait too long. He climbed to my window last night. Fortunately, I was prepared. I still believe in Li Menglan's strength.
Li Menglan shook his head: "That thing was no longer faster than me. I followed him to the river and he disappeared."
I was a little surprised and asked, "How did you get injured?"
Li Menglan said: "I thought he was hiding in the woods on the other side of the river, so I wanted to go in and look for him. But when I was in the woods, I felt a great danger. Then a yellow light shot towards me. I couldn't dodge and was rowed.
Hurt your arm."
"Red light?"
Li Menglan seemed to be trying to recall the scene at that time. Her face showed complex and uncomfortable emotions, and she said: "That red light was very strange. I could feel it myself. I was very afraid of that red light, just like... just like it."
It was like the nemesis of the 'Blood Princess', it was a fear born from blood. But the other party didn't seem to have the intention to kill me. The red light just warned me not to go deeper. I thought it was too dangerous, so I exited the woods.
.”
I frowned and thought for a long time. That zombie definitely has no ability to scare Li Menglan. If Li Menglan didn't lie to me, combined with Bai Luo's eyes looking at the woods in the dream, the woods across the river are really...
There is a problem. If I have a chance, I have to go to the woods and see for myself. I also really want to see what it is that makes Li Menglan so scared that he still hasn’t recovered from it.
"Then did you see that person's face clearly?" I asked.
Li Menglan shook his head: "He found out that I was following him, and he was very shy and never looked back. I can only recognize his back, which is a bit hunched, very dry and thin."
I nodded, told her to finish her meal and left the room.
When I returned to the dining table, none of the turtle boys were waiting for me. Seeing that they were very hungry, they grabbed the food like hungry ghosts, not caring at all that there was a stranger on the table. Only Ping Wazi endured and waited for me to come. I
After inviting him to eat, Pingwazi started to plan the rice. Pingwazi was too embarrassed to pick up the vegetables. I picked up a plate of beef and poured half of it into his bowl.
While eating, I realized that this dish was extremely delicious, many times better than what Fatty Wang made yesterday. As soon as I ate it, I knew it was definitely not made by these idiots.
While I was grabbing the food, I said to Gao Xiang, "You didn't make this, right?"
Gao Xiang smiled at me and said, "Brother is just smart. This is what Sister-in-law Li did. It's just plain old motherfuckers."
I said, "Where is Mrs. Li?"
Gao Xiang said: "I'll go back after cooking."
I yelled: "She works so hard to help the chicken cook, why don't you ask her to stay for dinner?"
"I...I...screamed, and Mrs. Li insisted on going back, saying that she had cooked food at home, and it would be cold if she didn't eat it. It was a pity." Gao Xiang was so frightened by my shouting that he ate two pieces of meat.
Damn, I'm embarrassed to blame him.
Fatty Wang said: "It's just a meal, why are you so excited?" As he said that, he started to eat the chicken in the chicken soup in the middle.
I blocked him with chopsticks and said sternly: "No one is allowed to touch this chicken. You can only drink the soup. Gao Xiang, go to the kitchen and get a bowl to pick up the whole chicken and let Ping Wazi take it back to Mrs. Li to eat."
.”
Gao Xiang said: "Ah?"
I said: "Go."
Gao Xiang said frustratedly: "Oh."
While eating, we discussed one thing by the way. After eating the food cooked by Mrs. Li, everyone generally felt that the food cooked by Fatty Wang was not edible at all, so we decided to let Mrs. Li come to our place as a nanny. The salary is four thousand.
One month, paid by Gao Xiang. When Ping Wazi heard the salary of four thousand a month, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Although Fatty Wang was angry and voted against it, since he can eat such delicious food every day in the future, he can't close his mouth.
It's just a symbolic expression of emotional dissatisfaction.
After dinner, I asked Ping Wazi to bring a whole cooked chicken back to Sister-in-law Li to eat. By the way, I told Sister-in-law Li that she was coming to our place as a nanny. Of course, I had to respect Sister-in-law Li's own opinion.
After the meal, Liu Qizhen brought a lot of tools and a magnifying glass and lay down in front of the mound of soil he carried back to look around. From time to time, he poked at the mound with strange tools.
I asked him what he was doing. He told me that he was looking for "spiritual soil" again.
In my impression, this descendant of Lu Ban always does some weird things. This time it is even more exaggerated. He actually wants to find "spiritual soil" in a pile of ordinary soil.
I have actually heard about ‘spiritual soil’.
Buddhism pays attention to the animism of all things. It is believed that not only humans and animals have souls in this world, but even every plant, tree, flower and tree has its own independent soul. However, the content of these material souls is extremely thin and cannot be discovered by humans.
.According to this theory, it is not so strange that the land also has its own soul.
The so-called spiritual soil refers to soil with a particularly high soul content. I have never seen that kind of spiritual soil, but it is said to emit a faint light. There are unofficial historical records that fishermen in the East China Sea discovered it when they were wandering on the sea.
An island floating on the sea, the whole island glows dimly, like a huge jellyfish at night. The fishermen in the East China Sea thought they had encountered the legendary 'Island of the Gods' and thought it was the place where gods lived, so they all looked towards the light devoutly.
Island kowtows.
Not to mention that there really seems to be gods living on that island. But the land on the entire island floating in the East China Sea is entirely composed of spiritual soil. However, there is no record of the specific functions of the spiritual soil.
After a while, Liu Qizhen shouted: "Found it!"
I hurriedly ran to take a look, and sure enough, in his magnifying glass, I saw a tiny speck of darkly glowing land, and I even called it that. Liu Qizhen looked at me arrogantly and said, "You don't know this, do you? Only in these far away places Only in the polluted land of the city can we find rare spiritual soil. I really didn’t expect that this kind of spiritual soil can be found in Hongguang Village.”
I said: "Even if you really find spiritual soil, what is the use of such a small amount?"
Liu Qizhen said with a mysterious smile: "Such a little bit is really useless. But when I collect enough spiritual soil, I can use the spiritual soil to grow some special plants."
"Use spiritual soil to grow plants?" I thought to myself how much spiritual soil would be used.
Liu Qizhen, like pulling out gold from the sand, carefully put the little bit of spiritual soil into a transparent bottle and said to me: "You will know how important these spiritual soils are to us in the future."
I said: "Well, you want to find the spirit stone, and it's not convenient for outsiders to know. In the future, when you move the soil, you will also bring Pingwazi with you. I trust his character, and he can help to some extent, but you can't I need to pay him some wages."
After hearing this, Liu Qizhen also felt that this method was feasible. Although it did not greatly speed up his collection of spiritual stones, it was better than nothing.
I had nothing to do and was wandering around Hongguang Village. Unknowingly, I came to a dilapidated house. The front of the house was full of weeds, the roof was full of spider webs, and the walls were covered with dirt. It looks like an old house that has been abandoned for a long time. But I know that there is a person living in this house.
When I asked the villagers where the skinny old man lived, the villagers pointed me in a direction. The location of that direction happened to be the house in front of me.
I saw that the dilapidated door of the house was ajar, with a rusty lock hanging on the door handle. When I looked into the room through the crack in the door, it was completely dark, and I couldn't see anything.
A great sense of curiosity directed me to walk towards the old house. But I knew very well in my heart that if the 'Old Ghost Li' mentioned by the villagers was indeed the black zombie, then I would actually be very dangerous now. .
But I still cautiously raised my steps and approached the door without making the slightest sound. I was comforting myself in my heart. I only took a peek. I only looked at what this old man Li usually did when he was in the room. What are you doing? If I don't make any noise, he won't be able to notice me.
I slowly approached.
I slowly get closer...
The closer I got, the more I could smell the smell of rotting flesh exuding from this old house. I felt my scalp was a little numb. But I couldn't control my steps and continued to get closer unconsciously.
I regret not taking the Shura Sword with me when I went out.
I opened my yin and yang eyes and found that the house was indeed shrouded in yin energy, but the yin energy was not too strong, which made me feel a little relieved. 'Maybe it's because he is not at home.' I comforted myself like this. .
I continued to get closer, and when I reached the door, the smell of rotting meat was very pungent, and I even heard the slight sound of flies flying.
Looking around, I found that there was no one around. I gently opened the door and made a long "squeak..." sound. The house was completely dark, and I couldn't see anything. Even the only light-transmitting window was boarded up. .I took out my mobile phone from my bag, turned on the light, and searched in the dark room.
Everything was in a mess, everything in the room was rolled around in a mess and covered with dust. I suddenly realized that no one had probably come into this room. But I didn't just see it two days ago. The owner of this room, 'Old Ghost Li'?
Soon, I used the light of my mobile phone to find a clear string of footprints on the dusty ground. This was a string of footprints that only came in and did not go out.
I immediately felt a strong uneasiness. I followed the footprints with the light of my mobile phone, and finally found Old Ghost Li who had fallen under the table, his body already rotting and stinking. His eyes were looking at me, and there was a A fly landed on his right eyeball.
The huge cat-like mouse was gnawing at Old Ghost Li's flesh, and the rotten and white flesh was still stained with traces of dried blood.
I held back my breath, thinking that he had been dead for a long time. At least when I saw him walking in the distance, he was already a corpse.
