Chapter 6: The Spirit Girl
"I scared you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" came from the woman in white, and it sounded a little like the powerlessness of not enough breath, and it felt like a declarative sentence and a question sentence.
Chu Xiao's heart was shocked, she had been struggling with the question of "whether there are ghosts and gods" all afternoon, before she saw the cat, she almost believed that there were ghosts in the world, but when she and the cat chased for a long time, she felt that there were more monsters in the world at best, and the theory of ghosts and gods was still nonsense. But the world is so unexpected, often a belief is just firm, and the next moment you have to waver.
Isn't this the voice of a female ghost in a film and television drama? There are really ghosts in this world, why did they find me? Is it really the Buddha to blame? "Don't come here...... Chu Xiao's tone revealed that she wanted to be tough, but she seemed to be a little lacking in stamina. She really regretted running into this forest, and she didn't know how she would die.
"Don't be afraid ......"
Huh? Chu Xiao didn't seem to be harmless when she heard this tone, she opened her eyes slightly, and asked, "Are you human...... It's still ......" Chu Xiao still paused, and didn't say the word "ghost".
"It's human, don't be afraid." The woman in white was unhurried, and her voice was a little ethereal, but it still sounded humane.
Chu Xiao opened her eyes completely, she scanned the surroundings, the scope of darkness that could be saved by the thin candlelight was limited, the cave walls were hidden in the darkness, she could feel that this cave was not small. Chu Xiao looked down and saw that he was sitting on a small bunk, and the quilt on the bunk was quite soft to the touch. The pockmarked cat was lying on its stomach, its big head pressed against its left paw, its long tail spread out on the quilt and motionless. It half-squinted, lazily looking at Chu Xiao, with an ambiguous look of anger and dissatisfaction in its eyes.
When Chu Xiao looked at the appearance of the cat, and then looked at its right paw that was injured by herself, she felt a little distressed. I didn't have time to look at the cat seriously before the first dawn, but now I saw that the cat was about 20 centimeters long, and its thin body was on top of a large head, which felt like the body of a kitten and the head of an adult cat. Chu Xiao thought to herself, no wonder its tail is long, if the tail is shorter, then the cat still has to be top-heavy, walking with its butt facing the sky and its head on the ground? The cat's fur was lined up in a lead-gray and dark gray pattern to form tiger stripes, with only the four paws and the tail tip being pure white. Its round face was covered with lead-gray hairs, but there were three vertical dark gray hairs on the door of its head, which extended forward until the upper eye socket, and the whole face looked like well-trimmed bangs.
"Can I turn around?"
"Huh? You turn ...... You, you turn around slowly. ”
The woman in white turned around slowly, under the thin light, there were two crystals in the almond-like eyes on the little face, and her eyes were still so calm and indifferent, but she was wearing a plain white costume clothes, so with her loose black hair, her back looked particularly like a female ghost in the weak light. The white dress worn by the woman should have belonged to the straight skirt of the Hanfu, and she wore an orange-red belt around her waist, from which hung a delicate red ribbon wood carving.
"Is that you?" Chu Xiaodun was surprised, but it was not so obvious in his tone. Chu Xiaoyan thought that if she hadn't changed her clothes, or had heard her voice when she was looking at the scenery with her in front of the holy icon a few hours ago, then she would definitely be able to recognize her, so she wouldn't have been so scared just now.
The woman smiled slightly, her eyebrows slightly curved, as if to say "it's me", and as if she was simply answering with an "um".
"Uh-huh......" the cat snorted softly, got up from the quilt and ran towards the woman, resting its two front paws on the woman's calves, and rubbing the top of its head and tail against the woman's skirt, still humming softly. The woman leaned down and stroked the cat's head with a gentle smile with one hand.
"I'm sorry, I hurt it." Chu Xiao said a little apologetically.
"It was careless on its own." The woman straightened up and looked at Chu Xiao, smiling very shallowly but warmly. But as soon as the cat heard this, its long wagging tail hung down to the ground, and at the same time it stopped rubbing its head against the woman's skirt, but buried its head in its two front paws, and its body still resting on the woman's calves.
"What kind of place is this?" Chu Xiao was puzzled, and something suddenly flashed in his mind, "You, why did you bring me here?" ”
"Let's go back and get some medicine first." The woman bowed her head and said to the cat, who at once landed on all fours, its tail raised high, and the tip of its tail bent into a balloon-like circle, and then lazily walked into the darkness and disappeared. "Didn't you run in?" The woman's faint rhetorical tone was very kind.
"I ...... I...... All right. Chu Xiao wanted to say that he was afraid that she would be in danger before he followed up, but it must be not simple to see that woman, and she was afraid that saying this would make her laugh, right? The other two are not familiar with each other, isn't it a little strange to say this? After all, it was indeed the self-inflicted escape, which is an indisputable fact.
After a false alarm, Chu Xiao's stomach made another noise in protest, and the woman asked Chu Xiao to help burn firewood in the cave, and the two sat in front of the fire and roasted sweet potatoes.
"You...... Who the hell are you? How did you end up living in this cave? Chu Xiao asked tentatively.
"Have you ever heard of the Fairy Gu?" The woman asked lightly as she added firewood.
"How do you count if you've seen it?" Chu Xiao muttered while eating sweet potatoes.
"Have you heard of the Spirit Maiden?"
"Spirit-woman?" Chu Xiao hadn't swallowed a mouthful of sweet potatoes, looked at the woman with her mouth slightly open, paused and shook her head.
"Then you see it now." The woman turned her head to look at Chu Xiao, her tone was still faint and kind, but there was a hint of cunning or playfulness in her eyes.
"The Spirit Maiden is...... What are you doing? "In front of the warm fire, Chu Xiao always feels cold on his back.
The corners of the woman's lips lifted, and Chu Xiao felt that her smile was full of cunning. "The woman who buried the dead."
Chu Xiao was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, but she still tried her best to hide her uneasiness and apprehension. She turned her head away from the woman again, but her sly smile kept playing back in her mind. The voice of the woman was repeated in my ears, and it was so light that people's hairs stood on end.
A woman who buried the dead? Chu Xiao thought to herself, what is the difference between this woman and the legendary black and white impermanence? Burying the dead, the word "death" comes first, it should be for the dead, right? Black and white impermanence is said to be life-threatening, so it should be aimed at the living, right?
Chu Xiaozheng was silently thinking nonsense, she looked at the flames and was stunned. After a while, she suddenly noticed something white on the stone wall not far from the fire. She looked closely, and there was a skull embedded in the stone wall, and the black hole of the skull looked very eerie in the firelight, as if it could be seen. Chu Xiao is studying medicine, and he usually sees too many general specimens, and he no longer feels afraid, but the skull on the stone wall makes Chu Xiao nervous. Just as she was about to look away, the skull's mandibles suddenly moved, as if she was smiling weirdly at Chu Xiao.
"Ahh Chu Xiao was so frightened that he threw his hands back on the ground.
"What's wrong?"
"How can there be a human skull here?"
"You mean that?"
Chu Xiao turned her head to see that two skulls with deep eye sockets were close to her eyes, so frightened that she quickly leaned back, then stood up and ran to the side.
"What are you running?"
A circle of candlelight suddenly lit up along the cave wall, and Chu Xiao saw that the cave wall was full of skulls. This place is not suitable for a long time, and Chu Xiao quickly ran to the place where she fell from the entrance of the cave.
"I ...... I ......" Chu Xiao was shocked and skeptical.
She saw that there was no longer the original bed under the entrance of the cave, but instead there was a lying female corpse, from which a large amount of blood flowed from the female corpse's head, and the female corpse stared at the big eyes, and the death was very tragic, and it looked like she should have fallen from a high place and died.
The female corpse that Chu Xiao saw looked exactly like her self today, and she said hesitantly, "I've died?"
But she didn't believe that the corpse in front of her was herself, because she was obviously standing here well, could it be that she was no longer human?
She crouched down and tried to touch the corpse on the ground with her hands, and she kept telling herself to calm down, but her arms shook uncontrollably. The body was within reach, but she felt her arm stiff and unable to exert her strength. Just as she struggled to reach for the corpse, and her fingertips were about to touch the corpse, she felt that her wrist was suddenly grabbed and she couldn't move.
"What are you doing here?" Flying and indifferent voices.
Chu Xiao looked up and saw that it was the woman who was curling the corners of her lips and staring at her. Chu Xiao felt that something in the woman's eyes caught her, and she couldn't take her eyes off for a while. She saw the smile on the woman's face grow stranger and more terrifying......
This woman is not a good person after all, Chu Xiao's heart has a trace of loss, she wants to turn her head to avoid her eyes, but the woman's eyes seem to be really magical, she tries her best to resist, but the result can only be as if frozen. She looked at the woman in front of her passively and helplessly, and the woman's face began to distort little by little, and the previously delicate and kind little face had become hideous and terrifying. The face was bloodless except for its mouth, so white that it sent chills down its limbs. Chu Xiao had no way to escape that look, she wanted to close her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to be glued together, and she couldn't get down.
"Don't!" A bloody mouth was directed towards Chu Xiao, and he wanted to suck her whole into it......
