Without waiting to speak, Zhang Ying on her back became restless again.

I didn't care about the cold river anymore, I picked up Zhang Ying and rushed to the opposite bank.

Just when Zhang Ying spoke, I could feel that all the three souls and seven spirits had returned to her.

And now, her three souls and seven spirits are starting to dim.

It took a lot of effort to carry Zhang Ying to the other side.

"Uncle Zhang, quickly find a place to shelter from the rain, Zhang Ying's situation is wrong. ”

Hearing what I said, Lao Zhang finally saw a trace of panic on his face.

Not far from the river, there is an abandoned sweet potato cellar.

After I put Zhang Ying down, I quickly pulled the canvas bag out of my clothes.

"Uncle Zhang, press Zhang Ying tightly, and you can't let go no matter what happens later. ”

Although Lao Zhang's face was full of doubts, I really didn't have time to explain it to him now. The three souls and seven spirits on Zhang Ying's body have become very dim, and they may disappear at any time.

On the forehead, shoulders, arms, and legs, seven soul-calming talismans were pasted on.

The Three Souls and Seven Spirits finally settled down.

The Soul Ruler was already in my hand, because Zhang Ying's body had something else in addition to her Three Souls and Seven Spirits. These things had to be driven out of his body, or else he would be in big trouble. And the reason why Zhang Ying is crazy is probably caused by this extra thing.

I gave Lao Zhang a look, Lao Zhang nodded, and pressed Zhang Ying's hand harder.

"Smack......

The soul ruler, made of unknown metal, is exactly one foot long, and has a history of nearly 100 years from the ancestors, and has long been polished black.

The ruler slapped down, Zhang Ying let out a terrible scream and began to struggle violently.

My hand didn't stop, and I slapped it several times in a row before I saw a black shadow come out of Zhang Ying's body.

The black shadow that had just come out immediately dissipated into the air.

"What's that?" asked Lao Zhang with some curiosity next to him.

"Can you see that too?" I was even more surprised.

"That's what I do. ”

Lao Zhang didn't say much, but took care of himself and picked up Zhang Ying, who had fainted.

It was raining heavily outside and we didn't continue to take shelter here. Lao Zhang carried Zhang Ying on his back, didn't take a breath, and went home directly. I was just about to enter the door, but Lao Zhang pushed me out and locked out of the door.

"I'll change the woman's clothes, and you'll wait outside. ”

I can't refute this reason.

Even though I was also soaking wet, I could only continue to silently get drenched in the rain outside.

I didn't have time before, but now I stood outside the door and calmed down, thinking about what Zhang Ying said in the middle of the river. Could the murderer really be Lao Zhang? Several people in the village have recently been stung to death by bees, and Lao Zhang used to be a beekeeper and is familiar with the habits of bees. So, the possibilities are great.

However, Zheng Ling was not stung by bees, neither was Zhang Ying, and none of their classmates died.

I don't know what Zheng Ling's situation is now.

It's been two full days, nothing has progressed, and time is running out for me.

The door opened, and Lao Zhang handed me a few pieces of clothing in his hand.

I hurried into my room and changed into my washed and yellowed camouflage uniform.

After coming out, Lao Zhang had already lit a fire in the brazier.

"What's wrong with Zhang Ying?" I asked Lao Zhang.

"Asleep, sleeping peacefully. When I wake up, I'll know what's going on......"

It turned out that even Lao Zhang didn't know what happened to Zhang Ying and them.

When Zheng Ling and the others left, Zhang Ying was fine.

It wasn't until I walked for several days that I realized something was wrong. Before she knew what was going on, Zhang Ying was already crazy.

According to Lao Zhang, Zhang Ying is very scary after going crazy.

In the middle of the night, he took a woodcutter and killed twelve Shiba dogs in the village in one night.

The next morning, Zhang Ying, covered in blood, stood at the door, holding a woodcutter in her hand, with a weird smile on the corner of her mouth. This scene frightened many people in the village.

Lao Zhang didn't think about locking Zhang Ying at home, but he was afraid that he would run out again without seeing it.

Killing a dog before has already made people break out in a cold sweat, if you meet someone again...... The consequences are unimaginable.

That is, since the day Zhang Ying was locked up in the back mountain, the bees in the chestnut forest were like crazy. I told everyone in the village not to let them pick chestnuts. The young people are okay to be obedient, but the older ones can't help it. ”

This is very helpless, and his sense of powerlessness can also be seen.

The chestnuts in the mountains don't cost money, and they can pick up hundreds of catties in half a day.

Carrying it outside and selling it for four or five yuan a catty, aside from the round-trip expenses, it netted more than 300 yuan a day.

Besides, picking chestnuts and selling them is only one or two months in this season, who doesn't like to make money?

When it was time to go to sleep, I felt dizzy and sneezed a few times to feel more comfortable.

At this time, you must not catch a cold, my sister is still waiting for me to save it.

I felt that I had not been lying down for long, and I was woken up again by the rapid sound of slamming the door outside the door.

I opened my eyes with difficulty, only to find that it was already bright outside, and the rain was still falling.

Dragging his tired body to get up, Lao Zhang was talking to a few villagers in a hurry at the door.

When the villagers saw Zhang Ying next to Lao Zhang Sheng, their faces were full of fear.

"Uncle Zhang, what's going on?"

Although I really want to ask Zhang Ying and Zheng Ling about them now, it is definitely out of place now.

"Zhang Daming is dead, Zheng Fan, you come with me to take a look. When he spoke, Lao Zhang's face was very solemn.

Originally, Zhang Ying also stepped out of the door and was about to go together, but was driven back by Lao Zhang.

Zhang Daming is the one who was stung by a bee yesterday.

At that time, after Lao Zhang's ointment was applied to his face, he had already slept peacefully, why did he die?

However, a few villagers led us not to the village, but to the direction of the river.

By the time we reached the river, there were already a lot of people gathered there.

Looking at the river, I was also shocked.

When I came over last night, I had just reached the base of my thigh.

Looking across the bank now, Guan Zhangying's thatched hut has been half flooded.

After Lao Zhang came over, the villagers immediately made way for him.

There were two corpses on the ground, and a middle-aged woman was crying silently.

"Who is that person?" asked Lao Zhang, pointing to the corpse covered with a white cloth next to Zhang Daming.

Soon, the white cloth was lifted.

The corpse was actually wearing a shroud.

The villagers next to him turned pale, and from their whispered discussions, I learned that this was the old man of Zhang Daming's family.

But isn't the old man of Zhang Daming's family dead, how can he appear here?

If I'm not mistaken, when Zhang Daming was carried back yesterday, Lao Zhang also specially explained that all the families guarding the spirit should lock the doors and windows.

My eyes were fixed on the corpse of the old man in the shroud, with a familiar and strange smile on his face.
