The screams passed through the layers of fog and were already inaudible when they reached the carriage.
But the dozing lady still heard it.
She woke up immediately.
Then I discovered that the maid was not there.
I lifted the curtain and saw that Lao Ding and Liu Wang were not there either.
There was only the carriage, everything was quiet, and all you could see was the heavy fog.
She was confused, but the lady did not get out of the car.
She is much smarter than that maid.
"Just now, I seemed to hear Cui'er's cry." Madam felt uneasy in her heart, but after all, she came from an extraordinary family and had seen the world.
I also heard about some weird things in this world.
It's just that she has always been very timid. Normally, when she hears it, she feels chills running down her spine and her whole body becomes weak. But now she thinks that maybe she has actually encountered it. It's like having her bones beaten, and her whole body is as soft as can be imagined at this moment.
Madam, how panicked she was.
Fortunately, it's just that the maid and servants are missing, so it may not be that something dirty happened.
At this time, Madam could only comfort herself.
After waiting anxiously for a while, she heard footsteps.
At first glance, it was the maid who had returned. Old Ding, the driver, was also sitting at the front of the car, and Liu Wang was still walking beside him.
This made the lady relieved.
"Tui'er, where have you been? Why didn't you tell me?" Madam and the maid were the only ones left in the carriage. The former asked.
Clearly unhappy.
She was really worried just now, and her chest was beating wildly now.
The maid said nothing, lowered her head, and had her back turned to her since she got in the car. She seemed to be arranging her nails, concentrating on it.
The lady asked again.
The maid still didn't move.
The madam's heart skipped a beat.
Something's wrong!
Normally, when I cough, the maid will come over to take care of me. This has never happened before.
No need to call!
Snap!
Something fell on the carriage seat.
The lady looked down and her pupils tightened.
That's a fingernail.
The entire nail cap was still stained with blood, as if it had been pulled out from a person's finger.
It hurts to look at it.
Anyway, Madam had goosebumps all over her body at this time, and her head went blank for a while, not to mention that feeling.
The maid was still arranging her nails, and she showed great effort. The next moment, snap.
Another bloody fingernail fell off.
fell aside.
"Finally, it was pulled out. There are a few more. They are all pulled out. They are all pulled out. Once they are pulled out, they will be fine!"
The maid began to speak, but her voice sounded urgent.
Snap!
Another fingernail was torn off, and this time, there was obviously a piece of flesh and blood on it.
The lady was almost going crazy with fear at this time.
She was sure something was wrong.
There is something wrong with my maid.
She wanted to run, but the maid was very close to her and blocked the carriage door.
If the other party doesn't move away, she can't get out at all.
Unless you are squeezing out.
But if you have to stick to the maid's body, or even push her away, how dare you, madam.
Now she clings to the car at the back, staying as far away from each other as possible.
But the carriage is so big, where can I hide?
Fortunately, people have ten fingers, and there are nails on each finger. It would take time for the maid to remove them one by one. At this time, the lady remembered that there were also Lao Ding and Liu Wang.
So the lady trembled and opened the curtain, and whispered to Liu Wang outside: "Liu Wang, Liu Wang..."
Just after calling twice, the lady suddenly realized something was wrong.
Liu Wang's walking posture is very awkward.
The joints of both legs appear to be unbent.
How can I walk with my legs straight?
Look down.
Madam's eyes almost popped out of her head.
Liu Wang's toes were on the ground, and he was walking almost lightly. No wonder he didn't need to bend his knees.
At this time, Liu Wang's neck was twisted this way, and he could clearly hear the rattling sound of his bones.
The lady put down the curtain and retracted into the carriage.
She was frightened almost crazy.
Something is wrong with the maid Cui'er, and something is wrong with the servant Liu Wang. What about Lao Ding?
No need to ask, something must be wrong.
"It's over, it's over!"
Madam's mentality was completely broken at this moment. If she hadn't retained a trace of reason, she would have screamed now.
Obviously Madam knows very well that if she yells at this time, she will only die faster.
Can't bark.
Can't make a sound.
But sometimes, you can avoid certain death just by not speaking up and keeping a low profile.
In the carriage, the maid was still pulling out her nails, but at this moment, a head stuck its way through the curtain of the carriage window.
It's Liu Wang.
Liu Wang's neck was stretched abnormally, his eyes were bulging, and his face was pale. He put his head in and asked, "Madam, what are your orders?"
Madam really couldn't stand this scene.
The fear that had reached the extreme broke through the string of reason that was already on the verge of breaking, and finally, the lady let out a heartfelt scream.
But the sound didn't last long before it suddenly stopped.
The carriage fell into silence again.
Old Ding sat in front of the car with his head lowered, still driving. Liu Wang walked beside him without saying a word. At this time, a twisted, pale hand stretched out from the carriage and opened a corner of the curtain.
The lady's pale face was revealed, but at this moment, the lady had a smile on her lips.
Weird smile.
"Dad, something is wrong with this fog, and the road is also wrong. This is not our way home at all." In the thick fog, two herb collectors, an old man and a young man, were walking quickly with bamboo baskets on their backs. The young man looked around.
, the more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.
The older one walked in front, with a solemn expression and a hurried look.
Apparently he realized something.
"Stop talking and walk quickly." The herb collector walked faster, but in fact he also knew that they had never walked this road before.
But this itself is impossible.
Because they have been walking up and down the mountain for many years.
You can't go wrong even with your eyes closed.
Moreover, they have walked many small roads in the mountains. The section of road they are walking now has indeed never been walked before.
The medicine-gathering father's heartbeat was also racing at this time, and he was getting more and more panicked, but he did not dare to show it. After all, he had to stabilize his son, so he could only pray to God and pray in his heart, hoping that they could escape this disaster.
Even if he couldn't escape, he still hoped that his son could return home safely.
"Dad, there is someone in front of me, it seems to be a carriage."
The young man's voice was filled with excitement.
I didn't meet anyone on this weird road just now, so who wouldn't panic?
Now that there are people around, I naturally feel relieved.
"It seems it's still a carriage belonging to a wealthy family. Go over and ask about the situation!" The old herb collector also breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, more people are better than fewer people.
At least there are more people and more firepower.
The two of them quickened their pace and walked over there.
Getting closer.
At this moment, someone behind the two people said: "There are dead people on the carriage in front. If we go over like this, you two will also be killed."
The sound came very suddenly.
The father and son who collected herbs were frightened and looked back.
There is a person standing behind them.
Looks familiar.
Isn't this the same person I met on the top of the cliff before?
"Brother, are you? You, why are you here?" The old herb collector was very panicked, but he still managed to hold on to his fear and asked.
"I saw the strange fog appeared, so I went down the mountain and walked blindly. I happened to bump into the two of you on your way. I thought that you two might know the way, so I followed behind."
"So that's it!" the old herb collector said, but he was muttering in his heart, were you following me all the way? How could I not notice it at all?
Unless it's a ghost, you won't notice it!
I started to panic again.
In this situation, the little brother who seems to be abnormal and is a ghost tells them that the person in the carriage over there is a ghost. Who should they believe now?
"You two, don't you believe me?" Xu Mo looked at the two father and son, feeling funny in his heart.
But that's right, from a normal person's perspective, I am indeed suspicious.
Of course, Xu Mo didn't come here to make these two people believe in him.
"By the way, since you two are familiar with this area, do you know the place called Resentment Mountain?" Xu Mo asked this question because he encountered a boundary monument on the road with these three words engraved on it.
Unexpectedly, when the old herb collector heard the three words "Yuanyuan Mountain", his face changed wildly and his whole body trembled, as if he had seen a ghost.
It was obvious that the old man knew the inside story.
But the old man's son didn't seem to know, and looked confused.
"How could it be possible? How could it be possible?" The old herb collector muttered to himself, sweating profusely and his eyes twitching, as if he was going crazy.
Seeing that the old man was not in good condition, Xu Mo thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, passing through a trace of mana.
A drop of Dharma from an immortal, a mortal shower of spiritual rain!
The old man suddenly woke up.
"Brother, no sir, where did you see these three words?"
