Chapter 7: One Night's Bones (I)
"Stinky Yuan Shuai, what kind of plane are you doing, now is the moment of life and death, your spell has failed!" Xia Molei couldn't help but scold, her body kept struggling to escape from the stake, but she forgot that she and Yuan Shuai were now grasshoppers tied to a rope, and her desperate struggle made the rope on Yuan Shuai's side get tighter and tighter.
"Uh...... Stinky Xiaxia, don't move, I'm almost out of breath~"
That is, when the two of them were a little at a loss, they didn't notice that a dark cloud in the distant sky was quietly moving in this direction.
The raging flames in the square had completely enveloped Yuan Shuai and the others, but the attentive villagers listened carefully to the movement in the flames, but after burning for a while, they did not hear the painful cries of Yuan Shuai and the others.
Not far away, the little girl who was misunderstood by Yuan Shuai and others called the grandfather who was collecting medicine in the mountains back, and the old and the young hurried to the square in a hurry, but there was already a huge fire rising into the sky in front of them.
The little girl looked at the current situation in front of her with some trepidation, and in addition to sadness, there was also a huge anger in her eyes that could not be concealed, but Qin Laohan sighed several times in a row and reprimanded the villagers in the square for indiscriminately disregarding human lives without asking about the green and red Daobai, what a crime!
"Uncle Qin, I respect you as a respected old man in the village, if it weren't for the fact that strangers from outside brought disaster to our village, our life would not have become like this, I advise you to take good care of the wild child you picked up, if it weren't for you, we would have burned that monster to death. So don't get involved in this matter, now that the dog man and woman have been punished, I don't think God will bring disaster on our village."
"Hey, confused, you guys!" Qin Laohan was so angry that his face was red and he kept coughing, and the little girl hurriedly stepped forward to support her grandfather and took him aside. At this time, I don't know which sharp-eyed villager pointed to a dark cloud floating in the sky, and shouted in surprise: "Look, look, what is that!"
A thick cumulonimbus cloud drifted to the top of the square of the grave village, and after a while, the sky on the square had darkened, accompanied by a thick thunder, and the rain suddenly poured down and drenched all the villagers in the square.
"This, what's going on? Where is the rain, how is this possible!" The man of the Black Tower watched as the flames in the square were extinguished by the pouring rain, but the most incredible thing was that Yuan Shuai and Xia Molei walked down from the stake intact in the burning ashes.
"You guys, you didn't burn to death, this must be the ghosts secretly helping. "The Black Tower man and the villagers no longer have the arrogance they had before, and in the face of unbelievable phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense, they can only throw them all at the ghosts.
Yuan Shuai smiled and said to the man in the Black Tower: "Why do you say that the ghosts are helping us in secret, instead of saying that there are gods who are secretly protecting us." ”
"Immortals...... There can be no such thing as an immortal in the world!"
Yuan Shuai really felt a little funny, these pedantic and superstitious villagers kept saying that God had brought disaster to their village, and they would rather believe that it was the demons and monsters who were secretly helping than that there were gods on Yuan Shuai's side.
"Believe it or not, my real identity is actually a Maoshan Taoist priest, I can use the magic of all things in the world and even your so-called gods to subdue demons and exorcise ghosts, as for what you said that we angered God and caused the child's body to turn into white bones overnight, it is even more impossible. And we stayed at Qin Laohan's house for the time being last night and didn't leave for a single step, and we don't know where your child's body is stored, so how can we do such a hurtful thing. ”
The man of the iron tower was speechless by Yuan Shuai's series of answers, now that the facts are in front of him, Yuan Shuai and they do have magical powers to summon clouds and rain, if they really make a move, even if the whole village goes out together, they will not be Yuan Shuai's opponent.
Now the man of the Black Tower knelt down in front of Yuan Shuai and asked for forgiveness from Yuan Shuai and others, so he also hoped that Yuan Shuai could use his magic spell to find out the real reason why his child turned into white bones.
Of course, Yuan Shuai's residual anger has not completely disappeared, after all, he and Xia Molei really almost became roast suckling pigs, and in the end, Xia Molei, who was soft-hearted, couldn't stand a big man who knelt in front of them with snot and tears and asked for help, and she had to pull Yuan Shuai's arm to make him agree.
For the sake of Xia Molei's face, Yuan Shuai is not the kind of person who holds a grudge and has a small belly, and he scattered the villagers who were watching the excitement, and the Heita man and a group of relatives of his own family took Yuan Shuai and Xia Molei and the only old man in the village, Qin Lao, and grandson to the two tiled houses at the head of the village.
Through self-introduction, Yuan Shuai learned that this Heita man named Qin Dachuan was a native of the village, and almost half of the surnames in the village were surnamed Qin, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the village head village was renamed Qinjia Village.
When I came to Qin Dachuan's home, the courtyard was still full of white paper figures at this time, and the old woman I met last night was Qin Dachuan's mother and the grandmother of Qin Huzi, who had died.
Seeing that his son invited Yuan Shuai and Xia Molei to the courtyard safe and sound, he was surprised and puzzled, Qin Dachuan touched his head in embarrassment and then muttered a few words in his mother's ear, seemingly explaining the misunderstanding to his mother.
After listening to Qin Dachuan's narration, the old woman was also excited for a while, she walked up to Yuan Shuai tremblingly, and regretted: "It's all my fault that Dachuan was reckless and confused, almost angered the master, and caused the curse of heaven, and I forgive the old man for being dizzy and didn't see the master coming, if I could have left you in the cold house last night, maybe my poor grandson wouldn't have fallen to the point of white bones overnight." ”
After comforting the old woman who was a little emotional, Yuan Shuai finally decided to go to the scene to take a look at the white bones of the two pairs of children. After all, even a dead person can't turn into white bones overnight, and there are really too many strange things during this period.
Came to a small room on the left side of the main house, two huge white cloths were placed on the cold and solid earthen kang, Yuan Shuai turned his head to look at the other people around him, and then suddenly lifted the huge white cloth, and in a burst of exclamation, two gloomy white children's bones lay flat in front of everyone.
Gu Yuan Shuai visually observed that the bones of the younger children were only about ten years old in men, and the bones of older children were about fifteen or sixteen years old in women. Both skeletons were dressed in a set of red robes, but the flesh and skin had disappeared without a trace, except for two bare skeleton racks on the kang.
Xia Molei also took the opportunity to step forward and take a look, and quietly reminded Yuan Shuai: "Could it be a wild wolf or a wild dog or something, burrowing into the house and gnawing on the corpses of the two children when they are hungry?"
