Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Night of Terror
Probably a day and night relationship, the three foot merchants fell into black sweetness. However, no matter how Lin Suqing brewed sleepiness, he still couldn't sleep.
It was a small room that was later separated by long wooden boards, and it was very narrow, about the same as the main house of Na Afu, but now it had to accommodate the four of them.
The bed they slept on was actually made of several long benches, and it was quite sloppy and painful.
And the four of them lay side by side, the big man at the head, the thin man second, and then him, and the strong man to his right. The snoring sound in his ears shook the sky, and he couldn't calm down to sleep at all.
The mind is constantly thinking nonsense, trying to sort out the cause and effect.
The daughter-in-law of the Xu family actually died, just yesterday, and yesterday was also the day he picked up the young master of the Ye Mansion. It was such a coincidence, he couldn't help but want to go to the mourning hall to check the body of the Xu family's daughter-in-law to see if there were any obvious injuries or signs of poisoning. It's such a coincidence, it's unbelievable.
He was pondering, and was about to turn over, when suddenly he heard a rustling sound outside the curtain.
Listen to the sounds, like the sound of straw mats rubbing, like the female corpse sitting up...... Could it be a corpse?!
Lin Suqington hurriedly got up, crept to the door, and quietly opened the cotton curtain to spy on the movement outside.
I saw the corpse sit up!
Under the mourning hall, on the straw mat, the female corpse covered with a white cloth suddenly sat up! Fake Death? Lin Suqing looked at it in horror and was stunned for a while.
The female corpse moved her neck and shoulders. Her complexion was blue and black, her lips were bloodless, her eyes were black, and she was obviously not alive.
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Suqing suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly withdrew, and hurriedly told the three brothers to wake up quickly. But the three men slept soundly, and no matter how much he dragged or pinched, they all went on to sleep as if they were gnats, scratching them.
"Wake up, it's going to be bad if you don't wake up. Lin Suqing whispered in their ears, not loud, beware of being heard by the female corpse outside.
And at this moment, there was another rustling and crackling sound, and it was getting closer and closer, as if walking barefoot on the ground, and the hem of the robe rubbing against the ground. Could it be that the female corpse is up?
He hurried back to his place and lay down as before. Almost as soon as he lay down, he caught a glimpse in the darkness of the female corpse walking in against the curtain.
The female corpse seemed to glance this way, so frightened that he hurriedly pretended to sleep. He squeezed his right hand with runes tightly, and his heart was beating wildly, and he could only keep reminding himself in his heart to stay calm.
The female corpse walked between the four of them a few times, and then returned to the big man who had the head, and the big man snored the loudest, as if it was about to shake the entire roof, but after the female corpse walked over, the snoring stopped abruptly.
Strange, Lin Suqing opened one eye in surprise and quietly looked to the left.
I saw that the female corpse was leaning over the thin man's face, sniffing twice at his face as if she was smelling a freshly baked meat bun. But the smell of the female corpse, the thin little man who originally looked like a cat snoring, suddenly stopped snoring, he was about to take a look, but the female corpse suddenly stood up, frightened him, and quickly pretended to be asleep.
He pursed his mouth tightly and held his breath, but deliberately let his chest heav, pretending to still breathe. The female corpse was exactly the same, leaned over him, took a few sharp breaths at his mouth and nose, and then went to the strong man's side.
Obviously, the female corpse didn't realize if she was really inhaling anything, so why did she do it?
As soon as she walked away, Lin Suqing immediately resumed her breathing, so as not to hold her breath too much, and when she recovered, she was caught breathing too quickly.
When the female corpse had taken a few puffs on the sturdy man, she left the house and went back to the mourning hall to lie down.
At this time, the rooster crows one after another, and it is estimated that it is almost dawn, and it will soon be dawn.
Lin Suqing took advantage of the female corpse lying back to the mourning hall, and cautiously turned over, almost as soon as he turned over, he heard the female corpse get up again!
He had to pretend to sleep again, praying in his heart that he would not be discovered. He reckoned, dodging the female corpse's breath again.
One after another, the female corpse came and went several times, Lin Suqing found out the interval law, and as soon as she retreated to the mourning hall and lay down, Lin Suqing immediately got up, supported the window lattice, and jumped out of the window.
As soon as he landed on his front feet, the female corpse returned to the house, and when he found him fleeing, he immediately chased after him with his teeth and claws. When the female corpse first got up, she was still very stiff when she walked, but now she was quite flexible, and with just a backhand, she turned out the window, which was faster than Lin Suqing's movements.
Lin Suqing asked himself that he was the best at escaping, but now he was being chased by the female corpse. She could grab him almost as soon as she reached out. He had to give up running in a straight line, constantly changing the direction of his run, and circling left and right in a zigzag pattern.
"Help!" he shouted as he ran, and the exclamation woke up many people, and one after another people lit candles.
The sky is about to dawn, the sky outside has already turned white, and the rooster crows one after another, and the female corpse has no intention of retreating, but will not give up if she doesn't catch Lin Suqing.
In Sitian County, it was a very small place, and the people mainly made a living by selling to each other, and almost every household was a businessman. So except for the street in the middle, there are small buildings of two or three stories on both sides. The layout is basically the same, all of them are upstairs attic for living, and the downstairs floor is full of shops.
They heard someone cry for help, and occasionally pushed open the upstairs window to look down, but no one planned to come down to ask what was going on, and no one came out to save him.
Lin Suqing saw that no one was willing to come out to help him when he shouted for help, so he simply shouted at the top of his voice: "There is a fire! There is a fire! Someone has set fire to the house! Someone has set fire to the house!"
In an instant, many people didn't even bother to light the lights, and they heard many people open the door and run out.
At this moment, Lin Suqing caught a glimpse of the female corpse rushing towards him, and he immediately jumped sideways and jumped in front of a tree.
At the moment when the female corpse flew towards him, he immediately jumped to the side, and the female corpse pounced on the tree, and he instantly flashed behind the female corpse, and immediately struck out with a palm.
I saw that the hand with runes suddenly appeared with a golden red light, piercing her through the backbone of the female corpse, she staggered a few steps forward, and after a hysterical roar, she fell to the ground abruptly, prostrate on the ground and stiffened.
Lin Suqing looked at the female corpse stiffened on the ground, and then at his palm, and was suddenly surprised - this is a uniform?
At this time, people came out of the house one after another, and happened to witness their fight, and because he was crying out for fire, there were officials in the distance who came in a hurry with a shoulder knife.
The sky is already dark. The morning light is faint, and the morning sun is rising.
A group of people surrounded Lin Suqing and the female corpse lying on the ground, and everyone pointed and discussed. Someone recognized the identity of the female corpse at a glance.
"Eh, isn't that the daughter-in-law of Old Man Xu's family?"
"Didn't she die of a violent illness yesterday?
"Dead? I just saw her running after this young man, eh, why doesn't she move now?"
"Didn't he slap him to death?"
For a while, there were different opinions, and Lin Suqing was stunned.
......
The officials quickly arrived, pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward to carefully examine the female corpse. I saw that her nails were deeply embedded in the stone slab, and even her fingers were almost completely submerged in them.
Holding the knife at his waist, the leader walked over to Lin Suqing, and asked rudely, "What's the matter?"
Without waiting for Lin Suqing to answer, Old Man Xu suddenly ran in a panic and shouted, "Oh no! Dead!
The planning of Sitian County is very simple, that is, the southeast and northwest, from the street to the end, such a straight line, so the north and south are connected as a long street, and the east and west are connected and horizontal as a long street.
Old man Xu went out and ran all the way forward, and immediately saw the crowd, and also saw the fast catcher, and also saw Lin Suqing next to the fast catcher.
He shouted from afar, "Catch that kid! Don't let that kid run!
As soon as the head of the fast catcher heard this, he immediately went to capture Lin Suqing, and asked angrily, "You kid killed someone?"
Lin Suqing looked dazed, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't kill anyone, there must be a misunderstanding." ”
He just used the power of the rune to kill a female corpse with one palm, and she was originally dead, he just split her from the walking dead back to an ordinary corpse, how could he be considered a murderer, not to mention that Old Man Xu should know that his daughter-in-law had died a long time ago!
When he was surprised, Old Man Xu ran closer, he gasped for a long time before he regained his strength, pointed at Lin Suqing, and said to the fast leader: "Catch Master Kuai, it's him, he killed someone, hurry, catch him!"
