Chapter 8: Ghost Eater

During the night, after a north wind, a light rain fell.

Although it was late spring, the rain was cold. Hit on the face, like a winter snowflake to dissipate the sorrow of the sky.

The roses shook the weak petals with the rain and dew, and the crystal teardrops fell on the stamens. Linlang looked up at the sky, and just now there were still stars, thinking that the stars in the sky are everyone's life. If one person dies, a meteor will fall from the sky.

Ten years ago, hundreds of lives of the Lin family came to an end. Is there a starry sky in the distant sky?

It's just that in the blink of an eye, the dark clouds obscured the starry sky, as if he didn't want Linlang to continue to be sad, the starry sky disappeared, turning into raindrops to moisten the earth.

"Miss, it's raining. Are you still going? ”

Ling Shan paced to Linlang's side, leaning up her round little face and letting the raindrops hit her forehead. The wooden house behind him slept in the rain, and the sound of "dong dong" came from the eaves one after another, like a dull drum beat entering the heart.

"If it doesn't rain, don't go!" Linlang opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked towards Jincheng step by step with a dripping package. Ling Shan followed closely behind in a cloak, constantly thinking about what Linlang had just said in her heart. If it doesn't rain, don't go! Did Miss know that it would rain in the evening this morning?

In the Jin Mansion, the people who had been busy for ten days had a rare calmdown.

The eldest lady touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and her face was full of happiness. She fantasized about the child croaking to the ground, becoming a mother herself, and her son running all over the ground naughtily looked at this place, touched there, and the scene where his chubby little hands were never idle......

But she was afraid of the pain of childbirth, and although she had not experienced it, she had heard of it. Every time I think of the pain that I don't want to live with, I can't help but feel my heart.

This is a common problem for every new mother.

"Li'er, go get some hot water, I'm going to burn my feet. In the past few days, I've been running before and after running, and my feet are about to cramp! ”

The eldest lady said as she took off her gold-threaded shoes, and lifted the corners of her skirt to reveal her reddish feet. The vermilion flower print is glued to the ten toes, and the curved arch of the foot outlines the perfect arc.

After a while, Li'er brought a basin full of hot water to the eldest lady, and rose petals floated on the water, which were lightly sprinkled with fine salt, and the hookah reflected the dim candlelight.

The cold rain was pouring outside, and the hot water inside the house was soaking jade feet.

Lil lifted the eldest lady's feet and gently lowered them into the water. She rolled up her cuffs, wiped them carefully and began to massage the soles of her feet. The eldest lady closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying Lier's more and more intimate service.

Xu was really tired, and after a while, there was a slight snoring sound on the bed. Li'er put the eldest lady away, covered it with a brocade quilt, and quietly withdrew with a footbasin.

As the night deepened, the candles in the eldest lady's house were gently blown out by a gust of wind.

On the soft couch, the sound of even breathing suddenly became tight. The eldest lady frowned slightly, and her face showed an anxious look. She bowed over, as if she were running in a dream.

In the dream, it was also a rainy night.

She was pregnant with her child, and she only felt someone chasing after her. When I look back, there are only countless raindrops falling in the empty alleys.

The rain soaked her clothes and clung cold to her. The emaciated body seemed to have been drained of all the nutrients, and only the bulging lower abdomen was agitated one by one.

She stepped barefoot on the cold, slippery stone path, which seemed to have no end, no matter how long she ran, she always wandered in the same place.

Finally, the eldest lady got tired of running. She held her hand against the wall, her stomach in the other, hunched over and gasping for air. The rain trickled down her cheeks and into her mouth, and the cold touch instantly sobered her up. Looking up, a figure covered in water stood in the moonlight, and the rain stopped at some point.

The water droplets were on the ground from the corner of his clothes, and only the sound of "da, da" could be heard coming from the man's body.

The eldest lady leaned her back against the cold wall and slowly squatted on the ground. Seeing the figure approaching, he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly in the moonlight, and he could only identify a woman from his figure.

"Let's go, let's ......"

The sound grew clearer and clearer under the silent night sky. Step by step, she approached, each time she stepped on the pounding heart rate of the eldest lady. Finally, the eldest lady saw the man's appearance clearly. Her eyes widened, and her eyebrows twisted together.

"Click, click."

The man, as if aware of the fear in the eldest lady's heart, suddenly stopped, and shook up his black hair, revealing a floating cheek.

She smiled, and the silent laughter made people even more frightened.

"Let's go, let's ......"

The eldest lady's will was completely crushed, and she screamed at the top of her voice, "No! Don't come, you forced me, if you want to pay for your life, come at me, don't hurt my children! ”

The dark night covered everything, just as the eldest lady threw Lin Yibin into the well ten years ago, the night was an accomplice, and the rain washed away the sin.

Linlang stood outside the window of the eldest lady dressed in black. She knows that people who are constantly busy will definitely dream. And it's raining today, and in the dream, the eldest lady will certainly run in the rain.

Linlang carried a porcelain bowl and was covered with rainwater under the eaves. The sound of "click, click" came from the bowl. Hearing the muffled murmuring sound coming from the room, Linlang flipped her wrist and threw the whole water into the bucket that had been prepared with a "poof".

The eldest lady only felt that she was about to be strangled to death at the last moment, and suddenly an inexplicable force pulled her away. I saw that the old lady appeared above her head at some point and carried her to the stone well in the backyard.

"Poof!"

As soon as the eldest lady landed, she saw Mrs. Lin fall heavily into the well. Immediately afterwards, the water surface that had not yet stabilized suddenly bubbled up.

"Gollum, Gollum, Gollum, Gollum......"

An inexplicable force pulled the eldest lady to the well, she wanted to close her eyes, but her heart was full of fear. I am afraid that the moment I close my eyes, a terrifying picture will suddenly appear in front of me.

My ears were filled with the sound of water waves tumbling, and all I could see was the water gradually rising. Pressed by an invisible force, she lay on the edge of the well and watched the water approach.

In the deep well, the water bubbles kept tumbling, like boiling water splashing upwards with the silt at the bottom of the well. Suddenly, Lin Yibin's swollen cheeks, which were blistered by the well water, surfaced, and she stared at the eldest lady who was close at hand with her pale eyes.

"Ahh

The eldest lady sat up from the bed abruptly, her eyes widened in the corner of the bed, trying to see everything in the room, and after making sure that there was no movement, she fumbled for the fire fold in a panic. By the time the candles were lit and the room was seen, it was difficult to calm the calm heart.

A row of wet footprints stretched from the door to her, and when she looked down, there was a dress on the ground that had been soaked in water for an unknown amount of time.

"Ahh

A shrill cry pierced everyone's dreams, and the eldest lady ran out of the door with her head in her hands, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a dark shadow, dripping with water all over her body, carrying a wooden bucket on her back, and walking away.

"Ghosts! Ghost! There are ghosts! ”

She ran frantically without a purpose, and her ears always echoed: "Give me back my life, give me back my life......"

Somehow, the eldest lady ran to the retreat, pushed open the door, tripped over the high threshold in a hurry, and slammed into the mahogany bed.

After a few days of recuperation, the old lady was already able to move. She struggled to turn her head and looked down at the eldest lady who had hit the bed.

Under the candlelight, the cloudy eyes seemed to be an empty ghost, refracting the seeping light. The old lady's sagging face was even more like it was about to fall, and it was pasted on the eldest lady's face. The cold flesh skin has no trace of blood, and it is no different from a dead man!

"I didn't kill you, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me!"

The eldest lady closed her eyes tightly, tilted her head cautiously towards the door, and said in her mouth that she did not know the words, repeating over and over again, like a penitent sinner kneeling before the idol of God.

"What are you doing!"

Jin Chi's roar brought the eldest lady back to reality, and she opened her eyes to see that the courtyard was full of people. And I didn't know why I came to Beiyuan.

Knowing that she would inevitably be reprimanded by the lord next, the eldest lady felt relieved. If someone is there, she is not afraid.

After relaxing, the doctor felt an indescribable soreness all over her body, faintly, her lower abdomen twitched, and she couldn't help but collapse to the ground holding her stomach.
