Chapter 17: Eating the Brain

When the so-called Yan Ye finally appeared, it was already the night of the second day, but fortunately, I didn't encounter any unnecessary abnormalities during the waiting period.

The rain had long since stopped, and the kerosene lamps in the house had been extinguished.

Outside, the full moon is in the sky.

The so-called Yan Ye is a gloomy man with black skin and thin height.

His cheeks were crooked, his fingers were as dry as branches, his ears were close to his head, he was dressed in a black robe with a black belt tied around his waist, and he had no eyebrows or hair.

For his arrival, the people in charge of guarding me quickly gathered in a line to greet him, so respectful that he didn't dare to take a breather.

When he arrived, he went straight to the room I was in.

As the door opened, he glanced around the room, his face even more gloomy, but he didn't say much.

I was then dug out of the soil and dragged into the courtyard and thrown into a water tank.

The tank was so deep that before I could get my head out of the water, someone had already held my head down and started to rough wash me.

Before I could feel suffocated, the rough cleaning was over, and as I was taken out of the water tank again, I was put on a white robe and placed on the slide bar in the courtyard.

The slider is a stretcher made of two sturdy long bamboo poles, with a seat made of rope in the middle, and a pedal hanging from the front.

After I sat down on the slider, the so-called Yan Ye shook the bell in his hand.

I didn't hear the bell move, but two bodies of about the same height came out of the house, walked to the front and back of the slide, and bent down together to lift the slider and put it on their shoulders.

The so-called Yan Ye rattle the bell non-stop, and then led the way in front and carried me out of the courtyard with two corpses.

The whole courtyard is rectangular, like a coffin, and the hill behind the house is round, there are no trees, only basil and flowers, like a barren mound.

The surrounding mountains are uneven and rocky, and there is a tendency to be tense.

With the wind blowing, there is a faint sound of ghosts crying.

As soon as I led the way in front of him, I made sure that my legs had recovered at some point, and although I was looking for an escape all the way, the trails were so narrow that only one person could pass through them.

I don't want to run away, even if I carry my corpse, the slightest slippage on the soles of my feet may cause me to fall off a cliff and break my bones.

I was forced to sit firmly on the slider, completely unaware of where I was going to be carried.

I ended up being carried into a cave.

At the entrance of the cave, there are two armored corpses guarding it.

The so-called armor corpse is often a military general before his death, and his martial arts are still there after the corpse change, and the characteristic is that he is invulnerable, and he feels like he is wearing a suit of armor.

Inside the cave, there were countless large black-brown bats, hanging upside down on the top of the cave in the dimness, motionless with only blood-red eyes.

I noticed that as soon as I entered the cave, both the man who carried my corpse and the man who led the way slowed down, so I chose to suddenly shout, wanting to create an opportunity to escape in the chaos.

As I shouted, the man leading the way quickly squatted down with his head in his hands, and stopped carrying my corpse, and the two armored corpses guarding the entrance of the cave were on guard.

The bats as far as my eye could see, in an instant, moved in unison, and were about to dive down.

A crisp whistle came from inside the cave at this time, and the bats that had spread their wings followed and continued to hang on the roof of the cave.

The man leading the way hurriedly stood up again and turned his head to glare at me fiercely.

I ignored his reaction, and after he continued to lead the way, I began to play a limited number of children's songs along the way, but the bats along the way were no longer impressed by my singing.

The cave is deep, and the stone walls on both sides are sloping, and the gaps left along the stone steps become narrower and narrower, and the top part seems to have grown together.

However, before reaching the narrowest point, the stone wall that was obviously squeezed suddenly emptied, and the surroundings suddenly opened up.

Then I saw a dense mass of centipedes the size of my forearm, filling the space in front of me and wriggling, only to make way for one person to pass through in the middle.

At the end of the flat road, there are steps facing upwards again.

I got goosebumps all over my body, and the song came to an abrupt end.

The man leading the way raised his arm and wiped his lower forehead with his sleeve, then turned his head to glare at me before moving on.

After passing through the centipede group, and then going up a step is flat ground, and there is a huge stone chamber on the flat ground.

As we entered the stone chamber, I said goodbye to the old woman.

She was still gray-haired and flower-wearing, dressed the same as when I first saw her, except for a bright pink turban embroidered with a red peony on her head, and reclining on a long stone chair covered with fiery red fox skin.

There is a square table in front of the stone chair.

Silver bowls and spoons are placed on a square table with a circular hole in the middle of the tabletop.

Under the tabletop, a baby boy of several months in size wearing only a red hood is fixed with bamboo chips.

The baby was crying, his hair had been shaved, and the top of his head was facing the hole in the square table.

Another corpse was kneeling at the square table.

As I saw the old woman again, the old woman waved her hand at the baby.

The corpse then used a dagger to cut the baby's scalp.

I unconsciously sat up straight, clenched my fists, and the corpse had already smashed the baby's heavenly spirit cover.

The baby's cry suddenly became terrible, and his body trembled like chaff.

The old woman glanced at me lightly, sat up from the stone chair unhurriedly, picked up the spoon and began to scoop the baby's brain Sven to eat.

She ate with relish, smacking her mouth constantly.

I watched the old woman's movements, my stomach churning, and my brain throbbing.

Since the old woman healed my leg, she should have just prepared for the next skin change, and she should not come to eat my brain again because she didn't have enough to eat later.

After the old woman had eaten the baby's brain, she took the spoon and looked like she was still unsatisfied, and her eyes were again focused on me.

Yan Ye, who continued to stand quietly, quickly turned around and flashed to my side like a ghost.

Although I was very vigilant, I didn't have time to react against, and he grabbed my hair and pulled the slider at the same time, and I hit the pockmarked hole and couldn't move.

"You actually hurt me, and I can't change my skin for three years, then you can only use your brain to make amends. I don't like to eat the remnants, so I healed your leg first, did you think too much about luck before?" the old woman leaned back and leaned back, and then waved her hand at the dead baby when she finished speaking.

Corpse A quickly pulled the baby's corpse out from under the table, and then carried the baby's corpse into the corner, bit off the baby's neck, and began to eat the baby's corpse.

"Master, do you have any misunderstanding about me? Since I am already your apprentice, it is impossible for me to hurt you even a point, and I have no ability to hurt you. "The so-called Yan Ye has begun to shave off my hair with a sharp blade, and I hurriedly spoke.

"It's true that you can't hurt me, but the old man who saved you hurt me. Her laughter grew colder as she tossed the spoon into the silver bowl.

It turned out that in that deep pool before, the stone wall would collapse with a bang, and it was the old man surnamed Gu who went to save me.

This time, will the old man surnamed Gu come again?

"It's a pity that he should be dead, and no one can save you this time. Her words extinguished the hope in my heart.

Her words were over, and there was a commotion outside.

The commotion quickly spread from far to near, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the old man surnamed Gu again.

He rushed into the stone chamber like an arrow, and shot at the old woman with his fingers and claws without touching the ground.

Regarding the appearance of the old man surnamed Gu, the old woman only had a momentary surprise, and then her eyes were clear, and she continued to sit on the stone chair without panic.

Because the old woman did not give orders, the corpse continued to shrink in the corner and gnaw on the baby's corpse, and the so-called Yan Ye continued to shave off the last strand of my hair with his movements.

At the moment when the old man's hand surnamed Gu was about to touch the old woman, the old woman quickly raised her hand and crushed the neck of the old man surnamed Gu.

The body of the old man surnamed Gu was suddenly deflated by a balloon, and it turned into a piece of paper with a pop, and the corpse fell to the ground separately.

It turns out that the old man surnamed Gu is just a paper man?

He is a paper man, because of me, he lost his paper life!

Suddenly, my heart was clogged, my lips trembled, and I couldn't say anything to save myself.

Although I cannot contain all the anger, it is ineffective against the living, and the deterrence against evil is limited.

I had no power to resist, so I could only let the so-called Yan Ye carry me to the square table, fix my body with bamboo chips, put the top of my bare head facing the hole on the square table, and let the armor corpse that gnawed the clean baby corpse return to the square table and kneel on the ground, pick up the dagger and slash at my scalp.

The tip of the dagger was extremely cold, so cold that I was cut open to the scalp, and there was no pain but cold.

The stone chamber was quiet, and I could clearly hear the scalp cracking.

Warm blood trickled down the wound, and I closed my eyes, tears streaming from the corners of my eyes.

If it weren't for me, the old man surnamed Gu wouldn't have lost his life.

Now that I think about it, not to mention his terrible appearance, he has never hurt me, and he has always taken care of me and protected me.

The feeling he gave me before that he locked me in his grip can be understood as a way for him to better protect me.

It's a pity that I was too resistant to him before, and now it's too late to see clearly.

Now, I don't have any life.

I could barely imagine this, and with a loud bang, the stone chamber began to shake, and there was a commotion outside.

I opened my eyes and said goodbye...... The old man surnamed Gu was stepping into the stone room.

The old man surnamed Gu?!

The image of the old man surnamed Gu has always been that he wears black cloth shoes with a black robe and a horse coat like a purple longevity robe, his cheeks are abnormally bloody, as if he has been coated with two pieces of unwiped rouge, his eyes are almost white, and his eyes are unusually black.

The old man in front of him, with white hair and white beard, his weather-beaten face was covered with deep wrinkles but in good spirits, wearing a gray Tang suit, with wheat-colored skin and high shoulders.

His eyes make people shudder, and they also make people have to be willing to drive them if they look at it for a second longer.

They are very different in my eyes, but they are the same person in my eyes......
