Chapter 45: Doubts
The next day, I sat in the yard, holding Xiao Hei in my arms, stroking Xiao Hei's smooth fur with one hand, and whispered softly: "Xiao Hei, where did you say Erya went?" I searched the whole village, but I couldn't find her. Alas, I can't ask Luo Wantian about them, I'm really anxious! ”
Xiao Hei was comfortably squinted by my cat's eyes, dozed, and did not scream as usual. I frowned, still very concerned about the dream that woke me up last night, the dream of the second girl asking me for help.
Erya must be in some danger, I thought uneasy. But she's a little ghost, and she's a terrible ghost who died unjustly, so what can danger her? Also, it seems to be the mountain forest in the back mountain, isn't that the place where the people of Luojia Village returned after death?
Could it be that Erya did not return to the mountains and forests and attracted the ancestors of the Luo family to hunt down? It looks like it's not, what the hell is that black fog?
How could I be in a coma? I remember that last night I clearly wanted to go out to look for Erya, but I found myself in the yard in the early morning. What's going on?
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and I suddenly stood up, "Xiao Hei, let's go find Sister Xiaoyu and see if she knows Erya's whereabouts!" ”
I hugged the little black cat and walked out of the courtyard. The little black cat in my arms heard my words and meowed, and instantly came to the senses.
I followed the path leading to the back mountain and walked towards the small mountain forest. I was already familiar with the road, and soon I came to the front of the mountain forest.
At this time, the fence door outside the small building was tightly closed, and there was no movement inside, so I didn't go in, but looked inside, and the door of the small bamboo building was closed.
"Sister Xiaoyu!" I called softly, but there was no one inside, and it didn't look like there was anyone.
"She's not there? Where did she go? "I wondered.
Suddenly, I was tapped on the shoulder, and I threw the little black cat in my arms out of my arms.
"Meow!"
The little black cat let out a scream and jumped out into the yard.
"Poof"
A chuckle came from behind, followed by giggling. I patted my chest and turned around, staring at Luo Qiaoyu, who was scaring me.
"Sister Hua, don't be angry! I didn't mean to scare you! ”
Luo Qiaoyu grinned and apologized, but she was obviously proud of her little prank. It seems that this little girl is bored enough to live alone in the woods.
"Sister Xiaoyu, why did you make such a wolf?"
At this time, I noticed that Luo Qiaoyu's body was stained with blood, the masked green gauze hung on the side, revealing a delicate and lovely little face, her hair was scattered scattered, but there was a different style, and the clothes on her body also had traces of scratches, as if she had gone through a fight.
"Alas, don't mention it, Sister Hua, you came in first!" Luo Qiaoyu walked past me, stretched out her hand to push open the bamboo fence door, and led me into the courtyard.
"What's going on?" Seeing that she looked haggard, I asked with concern.
"It's okay, Sister Hua, in the end, it's not too peaceful here, you better run here less!" Luo Qiaoyu seemed reluctant to say more, and instructed me.
"Oh," I promised, remembering the events of last night, and slept in my yard for no apparent reason. Something really happened, it seems.
"Sister Hua, is there something wrong with you?" Luo Qiaoyu asked.
I came back to my senses and remembered the purpose of my visit, so I said to Luo Qiaoyu: "Sister Xiaoyu, Erya is gone, it seems to be missing, I can't find her in the village." ”
"You don't have to look for it!" When Luo Qiaoyu heard this, she frowned and said.
"Why, what's wrong?" I asked puzzled when I saw her look heavy.
"Erya, she has already lost her soul!" Luo Qiaoyu said, untied the green yarn hanging on the edge of his hair, and continued: "Recently, the blue spirits in the mountains and forests in the back mountains have gradually decreased, and I couldn't care about it at first, but in the past two days, it has become more and more powerful, and it seems that something is constantly devouring these blue spirits. ”
"What?" I was shocked when I heard this, I didn't expect the ghost to be devoured, "What about Erya, is it also devoured?" ”
Luo Qiaoyu nodded, "I'm also looking for Erya's traces, I found her traces in the mountains and forests, so I followed her scent, but found that there was no trace of her soul between heaven and earth, and it was obviously swallowed by something!" ”
"How so!" I bowed my head and said in a deep voice, thinking of that hard-working child, who had never had a good life in front of him, suffered from the abuse of his family, and couldn't even save his soul after death, it was really pitiful. So I told Luo Qiaoyu in detail about my dream last night.
"Alas, blame me too!" Luo Qiaoyu said annoyedly: "If I had accepted her earlier, this would not have happened." ”
"How can I blame you, she didn't want to!" I comforted the authentic.
I originally wanted to let Erya stay in my yard, and then persuade her after a while, so that she could return to the mountains and forests as soon as possible, and also give her a resting place. It's a pity that it's still a step late, and it may be the child's life!
I was still sighing, but I heard Luo Qiaoyu say again: "Sister Hua, you better go back early!" This mountain forest is not peaceful! ”
She's urging me to go back!
But ...... I tried to say something, but she stopped me.
"Don't leave the purple jade box on your body these days, the deadline is almost up." Luo Qiaoyu instructed while pushing me out.
"Well, well, I remember!"
I was pushed by her, so I had no choice but to go first, "Then it's dangerous for you to live alone, why don't you go to the village and live with me!" ”
"Huh! No, no, no! Don't forget, I'm a shrine maiden now! It's my job to protect this forest. Luo Qiaoyu shook her head with a smile: "Besides, there is an enchantment set up by my mother-in-law around here, which is very safe!" ”
When I heard this, I had no choice but to go back.
"Alright then, I'll leave Xiao Hei for you, maybe it will help you!" I glanced at the little black road that was still in the yard.
"No, Heidi should send you back first!" Luo Qiaoyu turned around and called Xiao Hei, "Sister Hua, let it send you back, and you let Heidi come back." ”
I didn't postpone it anymore when I heard her arrangement, and went back in the direction that Xiao Hei had come from.
Luo Qiaoyu looked at my departing back and said softly, "Brother Xuan, thank you very much!" If it weren't for you last night, I really don't know what I would have done! ”
Beside her, a figure slowly emerged, it was Luo Hongxuan.
"It's nothing, you don't have to thank me, as long as you solve this matter quickly!"
"Hehe, Brother Xuan, I found that you talk more than before!"
Luo Qiaoyu turned around and smiled slyly at Luo Hongxuan. Luo Hongxuan snorted coldly and turned into a puff of green smoke and left.
"What, people just said a word and ran away! It's still that stinky temper! ”
Luo Qiaoyu stomped her feet helplessly, but no one listened to her nonsense anymore.
