Chapter 44: Ghost Upper Body
The villagers surrounded us, then separated us from both sides, and made a way out in the middle. The old man we saw slowly walked towards us. Jia Chong followed closely behind him, staring at me with his eyes as if fire was about to emerge.
Compared to Jia Chong's anger, the leading old man had more joy on his face. When he looked at us, he looked like a beast admiring his food. I took a step forward and said, "What do you want!"
Although this is very loud, I know that it is just to give myself courage. In this place, they can say that they can do whatever they want. Many things that have happened have proved all this long ago, but no matter what, I can't just keep silent.
The old man looked at Leng Yue first, with an angry look on his face, but after looking at Xiao Rui and me, he started to laugh and said, "You have broken our plan, so you have to let the rest be completed. Our great ancestors will definitely come back."
The old man's words are a bit inexplicable. Fortunately, we saved Leng Yue, probably because they destroyed some of their rituals, so we wanted Xiao Rui and I to continue to be their victims, but I didn't understand any great ancestors. I suddenly thought of a possibility, these people should not be really cult organizations, and making a few living people as sacrificial products is a common method of cult organizations.
Thinking of this, I became more and more nervous. At this time, death is probably inevitable. The problem is that people know if they will use other disgusting means. I want to say something. Xiao Rui pulled me from behind, then stood up and said, "No need to say anything more, you guys start. But I hope you can keep us together before this."
The old man sneered, and just wanted to say something, Xiao Rui said first: "If we are willing to cooperate, your chances of success will be much higher, right? This is much better than those medicines."
I'm used to Xiao Rui knowing many things that I don't know, not to mention that when she said she brought me here early in the morning, I already knew clearly what these villagers should do. So although I didn't understand what this sentence meant, I was not too surprised. But the old man's face immediately changed and his voice also increased: "How did you know? How did you know?!"
Xiao Rui didn't answer his question, just said: "Okay or not?"
The old man looked angry, but Xiao Rui refused to tell him a word of life. Finally, after shouting, he agreed hatefully, waved his hand heavily, and took us back to the village. The sedan chair was also with us.
The group brought us to the small temple. According to the old man's opinion, we had to wear that red wedding dress. Of course, there was only one wedding dress and we had to take turns to wear it. But Xiao Rui didn't know what he said to the old man's ear. The old man looked at her and looked at me again, showing a very strange expression. Then he obediently agreed to her request, saying that he would not put this on us first and let us stay together for a night.
I don’t know what Xiao Rui said to the old man. She didn’t say it after asking her a few times. She just smiled. I didn’t spend a long time with her, but I also knew her temper. If she refused to say it, then no matter how I asked, there would be no result. So I had to keep this question in my heart, then look at her and wait for her to tell us why we must leave one night for everyone to be together. I don’t think Xiao Rui would do something meaningless. I even think that if it weren’t for me, she could have walked out of Fengmen Village alone and simply escaped, the villagers might not be able to stop her.
It is daytime now, and there is sunlight coming in the small temple, but I can't feel the warmth. There are people guarding outside the house to prevent us from escaping. However, these people have kept a certain distance from the small temple. This should be Xiao Rui's request, which can ensure that our conversation will not be heard.
Leng Yue still looked drowsy. Xiao Rui closed her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking. I didn't dare to disturb her, so I had to look at her alone, waiting for her to speak on her own. After a while, Xiao Rui opened her eyes and said, "What happened to be an accident, which was different from what I originally thought, but it was not that I had no chance to escape."
When I heard this, I immediately became energetic and said, "How can I escape?" Xiao Rui said lightly, "It's not time yet, listen to me first, and you must do what I say at that time."
Seeing her serious look, my heart suddenly felt heavy, but nodded. Xiao Rui said, "According to my plan, Shanshan and Director Zhang should also appear. At that time, I can help you take the fragment from her hand and take you out of this ghost place, but these people didn't come. I can only say that someone must have stopped them. I suspect this person is Chu Jiangshan."
I was startled and couldn't help but look around. Xiao Rui said, "He is definitely not here now. You must be careful when you meet him in the future."
I said in horror: "I will meet him?" To be honest, I really have an indescribable fear of Chu Jiangshan. It seems that there is his shadow behind anything that happened to me. Just a few novels have put me in a dilemma. If I fight him in person, I still don't know how he will kill him.
Xiao Rui shook his head: "I don't know, I'm just reminding you." After a pause, he said: "Give me the handkerchief you have on your body."
I was stunned for a moment, but I still took out the handkerchief, but it was already very dirty and covered with the white paint that was made from Leng Yue's face that I felt very familiar with. I didn't know what Xiao Rui wanted these things, but I still handed them to her.
Xiao Rui took the handkerchief, looked at it, then dug a small piece with his finger and turned around and stuffed it into Leng Yue's mouth. I was shocked. Just as I was about to say something, Xiao Rui made a silence to me, then put his mouth close to Leng Yue's ear, and whispered that I didn't know what to say. I saw Leng Yue's eyes closed quickly, and after a while, it began to pound slightly, but it never opened.
I wanted to ask several times, but I didn't know what Xiao Rui was going to do, for fear of affecting her. You should know that she and I are on the same boat now, and they will die together if they want to die. I don't think she gave up the opportunity to escape alone just to think of a new trick to make me die once. It was because I believed that she would not harm me, so despite being full of curiosity and worry, I never spoke.
After a while, Xiaorui finally left Leng Yue. Leng Yue still didn't respond. She closed her eyes and leaned softly against the wall. Xiaorui's face was pale and her forehead was covered with sweat. Obviously, these actions that I couldn't understand just now consumed a lot of her physical strength and energy.
I said, "What's going on?"
Xiao Rui handed me the handkerchief and said weakly: "This thing is very precious. It is a waste of resources like the idiots taught by Chu Jiangshan. If you keep it, maybe it will be used in the future."
The things on Leng Yue’s face were painted by the old man, but Xiao Rui just decided that they were the people from Chu Jiangshan. I didn’t care where the idea came from. I took the handkerchief and put it in, and asked, “What is this, what’s the use?”
Xiao Rui shook his head, as if he didn't want to tell me, but after a while, he said to me: "This is called 'Three Lives'. You can understand it as a very strange medicine, produced in a very mysterious place. As for the function, if you have the opportunity to go there, you will know everything."
Xiao Rui is still like this, always speaking halfway. Even if he says half of the words, it is mostly words like "mysterious". There are few substantive contents. I have been used to it for a long time. In addition, seeing that she is so tired now, it is hard to ask too much. I originally wanted her to have a good rest first, but after thinking about it, I asked the last question: "What did you do to Leng Yue just now?"
Xiao Rui was already very tired, but when he heard this question, he suddenly showed his usual weird appearance. He opened his eyes wide and said with a smile: "Aren't you asking me if she is a ghost? I'm summoning her soul. Do you want to learn? I'll take you as my disciple of the mountain, and the tuition fee is 10% off."
I snorted, not wanting to continue to tease her, but I was very happy to see Xiaorui feel energetic. At this time, Leng Yue's breathing gradually became heavier, as if she was about to wake up. Xiaorui said quickly: "Don't worry about what happened later. When you hear me telling you to leave, you can leave quickly. The faster the better. Don't look back, just run out of the village entrance."
An ominous thought suddenly arose in my mind and asked, "What did you say to that old man?"
Xiao Rui ignored my question, looked at me, and continued, "You don't have to worry about anything, just keep running. Actually, there is a secret I didn't tell you, you..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard a loud bang outside, as if something had hit the door. Xiao Rui hurriedly stopped and opened the door with a quick step. There was no one outside. There was a stone as big as a fist on the ground. It was probably the stone that hit the door just now. Looking forward, he found that the few big men who were in charge of guarding us all fell to the ground. I looked at the left and right of the small temple and found that there were indeed people lying on the ground. Those big men were knocked down by some people.
Xiao Rui walked forward a few steps and squatted down and checked carefully. I followed him up. Seeing Xiao Rui frowned, I asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Rui said: "It's very strange when you look at this."
I lowered my head, and the big man on the ground had already stripped off his upper body by Xiao Rui. There was a strange black mark on his back. I was very familiar with this mark. It looked exactly the same as the hammer for washing clothes.
The mysterious old laundry woman appeared again.
