Vol.3 Trickles of the Countryside (36)
"Hee-hee-hee......"
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Li Minghao and Meng Yi'er ran hand in hand for a long time, but there was no end in sight on this dirt road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Youshui Village is built according to the topography, with a row of stone houses on each side of a narrow dirt road, and only one row of each row. Therefore, this dirt road goes straight and straight, there is no fork, Li Minghao is like a chicken blood, pulling Meng Qi'er to run along this dirt road non-stop, knowing that there is no result, but he keeps running. He had only one thought in his heart, he promised Meng Qi'er to die with her if she died, so he couldn't leave her behind, and he wanted to take her to find a place that was as safe as possible.
Meng Li'er followed behind Li Minghao, held tightly by his hand, her physical strength had gradually subsided, her wheezing voice was getting louder and louder, and all kinds of different laughter had not stopped.
"Forget it...... Stop......" Meng Yi'er stopped and grabbed Li Minghao's hand.
Li Minghao wanted to refuse Meng Meng'er's "laziness", but he knew very well in his heart that it would be useless to run down, so he stopped, took a few breaths, and looked at the courtyard walls on both sides.
In the process of running, Li Minghao also swept the courtyard walls on both sides with his residual vision, knowing that all kinds of laughter came from the men, women and children sitting on the courtyard wall, but he still felt shocked when he stopped to watch it up close. The strange thing is that there is only one thing on the wall of each courtyard, which is the same as when it first appeared, dressed as a villager, with severed legs that keep dripping blood, a terrifying white face, and two strange red halos, each of which is like the kind of paper man burned to the dead, with a hideous smile on his face, and a mouth full of yellow teeth at the corners of his mouth.
"Mouse, let's walk slowly, there is no difference between running and walking. Meng Yi'er took a break and looked at the two white-faced monsters on the walls on both sides, a man and a woman, both over fifty years old, both without legs, and they all grinned with teeth.
"Are these things ghosts?" Li Minghao felt that his nerves had become numb, and now he was holding Meng Li'er's hand like this, feeling the heat and softness of her palm, but he relaxed, and under this miserable white moonlight, the two of them were like a leisurely walk, at ease.
"Perhaps, but it's weird. Meng Yi'er carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find the flaws and crack the ghost wall.
"What?" Li Minghao was much more nervous than Meng Meng'er, and he had already begun to watch the half-full moonlight in the sky.
"Say it's a ghost hitting the wall, but we're not spinning in place, not only the courtyard is different, but I've also paid close attention to the things on the wall, each of them is different, most of them are more than half a hundred years old, a few are very young children, but none of them are young people, which is very strange. Also, it's strange that there is only one such thing in each courtyard. Meng Qi'er was still looking at the surrounding environment, and she refused to leave any details behind.
"Qi'er, let's not say if this is a ghost hitting the wall, anyway, it must be a ghost realm, we have been in this ghost realm for nearly an hour, right? I don't know what the situation is outside, I don't know if Xiao Harmony and Dao Chang have encountered this kind of ghost realm. Li Minghao looked at the moon in the sky and sighed with emotion.
Meng Li'er was bitter, turned her head to look at Li Minghao's side face, smiled and said: "Your own situation is unstable, you still have this leisure to watch the moon and care about others, you ......"
Li Minghao turned his head, there was an extremely warm color in his eyes, as well as the sunny color he often had, and smiled at Meng Qi'er: "Qi'er, if fate can't be changed and it is destined to die, it is a blessing to die with a beautiful woman under this romantic moonlight." ”
Meng Yi'er was stunned, and then smiled: "Mouse, when will you still have a serious appearance in your life!"
Li Minghao also smiled and replied: "Qi'er, then you have to follow me for the rest of your life, otherwise you won't have a chance to see it!"
Li Minghao's palm clenched unconsciously, and he still held Meng Li'er's little hand in his palm.
Meng Yier knew that Li Minghao was joking, and she also knew that he had always liked to joke, but under this bleak moonlight, in this terrifying environment, she actually felt very moved.
Yes, maybe Li Minghao is right, if Meng Yier had held hands with Li Minghao and walked for a lifetime, maybe she would be happier than being with He Huan.
"Mouse, you've read a lot of horror novels, what do you think we'll do now to break this ghost realm?" Meng Yi'er asked.
"Charms?" Li Minghao thought for a moment and said very seriously.
"Spell...... Okay......" Meng Li'er took out a talisman drawn by the Taoist chief from her pocket, handed it to Li Minghao, and said, "You should have learned some spells with the Taoist chief in the past few days, right? ”
"Qi'er, this is a pure heart talisman, forget it, I'll take one from me. ”
Meng Yi'er shrugged her shoulders and said, "For me, they all look the same, you can do whatever you want, you are an expert." ”
Li Minghao rolled his eyes, although Meng Meng'er was willing to praise him, it still sounded a little ironic.
Li Minghao took out a piece of rune paper from the waistband of his close-fitting trousers, looked at it and saw that it was wrong, put it back the way and found another one, then nodded, sandwiched the rune paper with the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and said with a word on his mouth: "The sky is not right, the demons and ghosts are rampant, I use the immortals, the road is clear, broken!"
"Woo......"
A mountain breeze blew, and the rune paper trembled twice, and then everything was still, and there was no movement except for the strange laughter that continued on the courtyard wall.
Meng Li'er and Li Minghao looked at each other, with embarrassed looks on their faces, but Li Minghao was even more embarrassed.
"The sky is not right, the demons are rampant, the immortals and gods are used by me, the road is clear and broken!"
"The sky is not right, the demons are rampant, the immortals and gods are used by me, the road is clear and broken!"
Li Minghao chanted two incantations in a row, but there was still no reaction around him, and this time, even the mountain wind was gone.
"Hee-hee...... It's useless!
"Hee-hee...... It's useless!"
The two little ghosts on the wall looked at Li Minghao and smiled even more happily.
"Shut up!"
Li Minghao is not good at learning, and after being exposed, he became angry, and all his anger was sprinkled on the body of the little ghost on the wall.
The little ghost listened to Li Minghao's words and grinned, but he didn't talk anymore.
Meng Li'er looked at Li Minghao with empty eyes, and there was clearly a clear expression in his eyes: "Hey, are you okay......"
Li Minghao's eyes flickered, he coughed embarrassedly, stuffed the rune paper back into his pocket, and said with a red face: "That...... Yes...... Maybe this spell doesn't fit into this ghost realm...... Ahem......"
"Oh......" Meng Yi'er said perfunctorily, "Then again, did you see some familiar faces just now?"
Li Minghao thought for a while and said, "Well, I seem to have seen the old ginger who pulled us into this Youshui Village just now, and the old man who cooked for us." ”
"You say, if we go down, will we see the village chief's house?"
"The village chief's house?"
"Hmm...... If we meet the village chief's house, we will go in, maybe we will gain something!" Meng Yi'er thought for a while and said.
"Well, let's move on. "Just now, because they came out with the charm for the experiment, the two of them stopped, and now their strength has recovered a little, and they can continue to move forward.
The moonlight was still bleak, Li Minghao still held Meng Yi'er's hand tightly, the two of them were side by side, and they simply stopped looking behind them and walked forward.
I don't know how long I walked, but a different courtyard appeared on the right hand side of the two.
"Look, that's the village chief's house, right?" Li Minghao saw that the courtyard wall was much higher than the other courtyards around, he seemed to have heard that many villages would compare to this, the higher the courtyard wall, the more face, so the courtyard wall of the village chief's house was indeed much higher than the surrounding people.
Meng Qi'er didn't speak, she was waiting, waiting for the figure of the village chief to appear on the courtyard wall of this courtyard.
Sure enough, the courtyard wall gradually became clear in the moonlight, and a shadow appeared on the courtyard wall without exception, the shadow was old but stiff, disappeared below the legs, dripping with bright red blood, the face was pale and stiff, and there were two strange red masses on the cheeks, if the paper man in the paper shop was realistically made, and the facial features of that face were so familiar, yes! That was the village chief, the village chief of Youshui Village!
"Let's go!" Meng Meng'er and Li Minghao's tightly clasped hands pulled Li Minghao, Li Minghao turned around and obediently followed Meng Ming'er closer to the courtyard.
"Huh, why is this door locked?" Before Li Minghao could finish speaking, he saw a beautiful foot fly over and slam his foot on the door lock.
"Boom la la ......"
The door lock was originally of very poor quality, and it was a few years old, and it was broken into slag in an instant by Meng Nuxia's feet, and it simply fell to the ground neatly.
Meng Li'er ignored the stunned Li Minghao, pulled his big hand and entered the courtyard.
This courtyard is exactly the same as the courtyard of the village chief's house where Li Minghao and Meng Li'er lived before, the farm tools you saw during the day, the pool of the pressurized well, the grinding of grain, and the wooden stakes that tied the livestock all stood there in good shape, except for that, the only difference was the atmosphere.
Meng Li'er glanced back at the "village chief" sitting on the courtyard wall, the "village chief" had already turned around, the smile on his face was put away, his mouth was closed, his face became serious, staring at Li Minghao and Meng Li'er tightly, there seemed to be fear, anger and surprise on his face, and there were all kinds of complex negative emotions.
Meng Li'er was very puzzled, would it make the little ghost on the wall angry when he came in? Could it be that the purpose of this little ghost was to prevent Li Minghao and Meng Li'er from entering the courtyard?
The corners of Meng Li'er's mouth pulled up a slight smile, pulled Li Minghao, and kicked open the door of the east guest room, the situation inside the door was clear at a glance, except for a few neat old furniture, no one was there.
Meng Li'er dragged Li Minghao to the west guest room, which was also empty, no one else, and no one of the objects brought by Meng Li'er and his party.
Meng Li'er was unwilling, and took Li Minghao to the middle hall again, kicked it open as usual, and looked at the east and west side rooms, but still found nothing, just like He Huan and his party have never been here, and this house still retains the original appearance of He Huan and them.
Meng Li'er came out of the hall with a frown, standing in the middle of the courtyard and looking at the ghost on the wall.
The ghost had a hideous face, and Meng Li'er didn't lose to the other party in momentum at all, the murderous aura in her eyes was very strong, if she didn't know what she did to ghosts or illusions, she would have rushed over a long time ago.
"Yi'er, did you find anything?" Li Minghao kept following behind, observing carefully, but he didn't see anything wrong.
Meng Yi'er frowned and said: "Although this place is a fantasy, it is like we have never been here, and it is clean. ”
Li Minghao was stunned and said, "This ...... That's right, whether it's fantasy or reality, we're foreign, and it's normal if we don't have it. ”
"Then what is his purpose? Is it just to scare and scare us? What's the point?" Meng Yi'er analyzed to herself: "If the purpose is to scare us, why bother to persist so long, he knows that we don't feel afraid, why maintain this repetitive ghost realm?"
"Or is there something he wants us to discover?" said Li Minghao.
Meng Li'er was a little upset, it was not clear whether the thing behind this scene was a person or a ghost, and it was not clear what the purpose was, what was the meaning of this ghost realm?
"Mouse, have you thought of a way to escape from the ghost realm?" Meng Li'er asked Li Minghao.
Li Minghao shook his head and expressed helplessness.
"Have you thought of it?" asked Li Minghao rhetorically.
Meng Yi'er smiled slightly and said, "What do you say?"
Before Li Minghao could speak, Meng Li'er suddenly got rid of his palm, rushed to Li Minghao's side in three steps and two steps, raised a hand high, made a knife shape in the palm of his hand, aimed at Li Minghao's neck, and slashed down with one palm.
"You ......"
Li Minghao only had time to say this one word, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.
Meng Qi'er laughed "hehe", turned her head to glance at the little ghost on the wall, and mocked: "What do you want me to do?"
The little ghost was so angry, but there was nothing to do, Meng Qi'er nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that she had guessed correctly, these little ghosts couldn't do anything at all, except to pretend to scare them here.
Meng Qi'er looked up to the sky and laughed twice, and slammed the back of her head on the wall behind her......
"Click...... Click...... Click......"
In the middle of the dirt road, in the darkness, the sound of "clicking" sounded again, and in the darkness, gradually came out an old woman with a full face of folds, her back hunched, but her eyes were full of essence. With a cane in one hand, she walked out slowly, step by step.
