Chapter 18: Coming to the Ghost Market (1)
The scene in front of me made me go in a trance, only to see faces, some laughing, some crying, some happy, some sad, each expression is full of weirdness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the appearance of each face is pure and broken, without the slightest emotion, single and wooden. The cold air was filled with the smell of death. In the quiet environment, I brisked myself and didn't dare to make the slightest sound, for fear that one of them would attract the attention of one of them by accident.
I kept reading Xiao Zhong's full name in my heart, and my eyes still glanced around from time to time. With his eyes open and his ears listening to all the subtle sounds around him, he seemed to be a little nervous, but he could only continue to grope forward.
I accidentally found an old man, she was wearing a black cotton jacket, the style was very old, almost older than the style of grandma's clothes, her white hair had not been combed, and her wrinkled face depicted the traces of time. His eyes blankly scanned the walking figures. After a while, the old man obviously didn't move so neatly, straightened up and patted twice, grabbed the white hair with his hand, and held me back with the rest of his eyes, a trace of surprise slipped through the corners of his eyes, and smiled at me slightly. I rubbed my eyes, my heart trembled, wouldn't I notice me? She moved her lips, obviously saying something to me, but, because it was too whispering for me to hear what she said. I try to keep myself calm and not think about anything else.
The more I walked forward, the more I couldn't control my anxiety, and the more scared I became, and as soon as my scalp tightened, the horrific images in my mind occupied the whole thought. I didn't dare to blink my eyes, I was afraid that in a blink of an eye, a demon with steel teeth and a green face and fangs would appear in front of me. I hugged my clothes and walked slowly around the side road, and my heart also quickened the speed of calling Xiao Zhong.
Just as I walked around a corner with my head down, a pair of red embroidered shoes suddenly appeared, and I stopped in fright, and suddenly a pale face appeared in front of me.
Because it was so sudden, I didn't have time to react at all, only stunned and afraid. At the same time, a chilly feeling came to my face, and I fixed my eyes, only to find that the woman in front of me was wearing a red dress, with a pale complexion, long hair hanging down, and her feet off the ground staring at me expressionlessly, staring at me with empty eyes!
I suddenly felt the cold behind me hit my back, and my whole body stiffened, and I didn't dare to move there. There was a hint of doubt in the empty eyes, and I moved my face closer to me, and when I saw that something was not quite right, I quickly turned my gaze away, and I froze in place with the same expressionless face.
"Why do you have the smell of a human being?" the woman asked me whimsically, her eyes never taking a moment off me, but her voice was more like a wailing cry.
At this moment, the fear in my heart was even stronger, thinking that if this matter was not resolved as soon as possible, let alone looking for Xiaozhong's soul, it was estimated that the next second would be when my soul was gone, so I simply stiffened my head and planned to fight, "New here." Without thinking, I spat out three words. After speaking, I felt that the root of my tongue was hard, and I couldn't say anything else.
The female ghost looked at me faintly, and saw that I was in a cold sweat. Suddenly, I saw Xiao Zhong's soul not far away, and I was inevitably a little excited in my heart, and I didn't care if the female ghost let me go or not, I flashed directly past her and ran in the direction of Xiao Zhong's soul.
"You're still human. "The female ghost behind me suddenly went crazy and chased after me. Seeing that the situation was urgent, I pulled up Xiaozhong and ran forward desperately, not daring to stop for a moment.
Just when the female ghost was about to float to me, a dark red staircase suddenly appeared, like an ancient style staircase, I gasped for breath, I didn't have time to think about it, and directly pulled Xiao Zhong to the stairs. Rushing down the stairs, down the stairs, all the way down as desperately as you can. I don't know how long I ran, but before I knew it, I saw a large doorway, which was also a dark red wooden door, and after hesitating at the door for a while, I slowly opened the wooden door, and the moment my feet stepped in, I quickly closed the door again and locked it. If it weren't for my quick reflection just now, I found that the space behind the door was a bottomless pit and a pitch black abyss, and I guess I don't know where I would have fallen now.
I was almost taken into the dark abyss, and I gasped for a breath in shock, and bent down, only to find that Xiao Zhong was also looking at me expressionlessly at the moment, and there was no trace of panic in his empty eyes. I suddenly remembered what Grandpa Hu said, and quickly looked for the red rope, but found that the palm of my hand was already empty.
The female ghost on the top of the stairs chased after her, and from afar came an angry cry, "Where are you hiding, come out!" A terrible mournful voice came into my ears. In this desperate predicament, I couldn't help but tears fell out, not to mention that I am a child, that is, an adult, who dares to say that in the face of the dilemma of no way in front and no way, will be calm?
Time was running out, I wiped tears from my face, I had to make a choice. Thinking about it, he quickly untied the red rope on my wrist, tied it to Xiao Zhong's wrist, and took out the yellow paper talisman that Grandpa Hu gave me for Xiao Zhong to swallow. Looking at Xiao Zhong's slowly disappearing figure, my tears fell out again, and I waved my hand to say my final goodbye to Xiao Zhong.
The voice of the female ghost in front of me was getting closer and closer, I stood up, my legs were still a little weak, I shook my head, and said to myself in my heart, you are the bravest, you are the bravest, thinking, I took a deep breath, reopened the dark red wooden door behind me, closed my eyes, and wanted to walk in.
But the left foot just stepped in, but the right foot suddenly couldn't lift up, the ankle seemed to be grabbed by someone, I lowered my head, the foot is not the red-clothed female ghost? She held my ankle with one hand, and made a terrible sound of "hey, hey, hey, hey", I was frightened, desperately pulled out my foot, but her strength was too great, I couldn't pull it out, the air around me became colder, I stretched out my hand, desperately slapped the female ghost attached to the ground, but it had no effect at all.
Suddenly, the female ghost smiled at me, this smile was extremely weird, and slowly her eyes flowed bloody tears, and she began to cry, with dark red and dark red tears. Slowly she dragged me out of the door and locked it.
Time seemed to stop for a moment, and I watched in horror as she moved next. I held my breath for a moment, and I didn't even have the courage to scream.
Her face was full of holes, her eyes were empty with blood and tears, and there were still traces of blood and tears on her cheeks.
