Chapter 16: Poisoning

Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.

When Huzi said this, I wasn't afraid.

The most fearful thing is the fear of the unknown, and most of us are afraid of ghosts, and that's because we haven't seen ghosts. Ghosts are unknown to us, and if there were a few ghosts in every zoo for everyone to see, I believe that there would be fewer and fewer people who are afraid of ghosts.

Huzi told me that there was a pair of eyes inside, and I became bolder.

I started to climb up, and Huzi shone a flashlight on me below, saying, "Lao Chen, don't be afraid, Comrade Huzi will give you the bottom below." ”

I turned my head to look at Huzi, then looked up again and climbed up towards it.

I slowly climbed to the door of the shrine, turned around and stretched out my hand, Huzi threw the flashlight up, I reached out and caught it and did not rush to shine inside, but first looked in through the lattice above the door.

The grid was empty, maybe it used to be pasted with window paper, but now there is nothing. I was not in a hurry, I looked carefully inside, there was no light from the flashlight, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.

I let out a long breath, then slowly lifted the flashlight and shone it in.

I shone it from the top down, and the light shined through the lattice on the door, and the inside was also lit up by lattice, and I couldn't see it clearly.

But, by feeling, I could deduce what I was seeing, a corpse sitting in a shrine.

The clothes covered by the corpse were shattered, and all that could be seen was strips of cloth covering the body.

The strips of cloth wrapped the corpse, revealing only a face.

Oh no, the face is not exposed, but in the seat of the face, with a metal mask attached. It is on this mask that a pair of large divine eyes are drawn.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw these eyes, and I turned around and whispered, "Huzi, it's a mask." ”

Huzi tilted his head and whispered, "Lao Chen, it's not a mask, it's a pair of living eyes." ”

It's been a long time, and the corpse is leaking into the air, and even if it doesn't rot, it's dried, and it doesn't have the conditions to become a blood gourd.

I thought it was Huzi who was dazzled, and couldn't help but sneer.

Then I turned my head and looked into the shrine again, and suddenly I saw a white face. On this face, a pair of eyes are very obvious, and they look bright in the shrine.

This frightened me to the point that the hairs on my body stood up, my head buzzed, and my body instantly broke out in a hot sweat.

But it was after that moment that I calmed down, and the flashlight slowly shone in the direction of the face I had just faced.

The light of the flashlight slowly descends from above, all the way down. Soon, the shrine shone with light, and at the same time, I saw a white shadow inside. I slowly shook the flashlight, and the white shadow became clear.

Inside is a white fox.

My flashlight shone at its face, and at the same time, it lifted its face up and looked at me.

Immediately I relaxed, moved to the side, and wiped the sweat with my sleeve. Then he stretched out his hand and opened the pin of the shrine door, and I said, "Huzi, you come up." ”

Huzi said, "Lao Chen, what is it?" ”

"You'll know when you come up."

I showed it to Huzi, and Huzi climbed up from below at this time. When I arrived on the other side of the shrine door, I used a flashlight to shine inside, and Huzi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lao Chen, it's not that I'm timid, it's too unexpected." ”

I said, "I pull the door open and you grab it." ”

Huzi nodded, then rolled up his sleeves and said, "It can't run." ”

I saw that the tiger was ready, so I reached out and slowly pulled open the door to the shrine.

The door opened little by little, and the tiger was ready, his eyes widening.

The door to the shrine opened wider and wider, and when I pulled it open, the fox did not come out. This was beyond my expectations. Originally, I thought so in my heart, the fox ran out, and the tiger reached out and grabbed it directly. I repeated the image in my head several times, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Huzi was on the opposite side with his hands ready, but then, his hands slowly retracted. Huzi said: "Lao Chen, look. ”

I stuck my head over and saw an amazing scene. I saw a white fox kneeling in the shrine with teary eyes, and around it, four little foxes were burrowing around it.

At this time, Huzi and I could see clearly in the shrine that there were no treasures in it at all, only a dried corpse wrapped in strips of cloth. The green light that flashed just now should be the fox's eyes.

The corpse sat in the center of the shrine, and the little foxes would burrow around the dried corpse, which was their home.

When the little fox saw us, he didn't feel afraid, and he didn't know which one was taking the lead, but he actually lined up and craned his neck to look at us.

The big fox knelt in front of the dried corpse and looked at us with teary eyes.

Such a fox skin is worth a lot, and this fox must have felt great fear.

It wanted to run away, but it couldn't, it did, so what about the four children?

I slowly closed the door to the shrine at this point, and I said, "Go down, there's nothing." ”

Huzi climbed down from it first, and I threw the flashlight to him. Then he gave it to me, and I came down.

As soon as we came down, we saw a light suddenly turn on not far away, and a man walked over with a lantern. Needless to say, it's the second pick up.

Huzi whispered: "Lao Chen, my second father shouldn't have seen anything." ”

I understand what Huzi means by this, this is telling me not to tell the two of us what we did just now. Actually, that's what I think.

After the second picker came out with a lantern, he did not walk towards us, but walked towards the door of the main hall.

Huzi shouted: "Second father, you also got up at night?" ”

Erzhu'er didn't pay attention to us, and continued to walk forward with the lantern, at this time, what we could see was his sideways.

It stands to reason that the lantern is in his hand, enough to illuminate his face. But I just couldn't see his face. From here, the face was dark.

Huzi said loudly: "Second father, go out and turn right, it's easy to walk over there." ”

Erzhuer still didn't pay attention to us and continued to walk forward, at this time, we could only see Erzhuer's back. Judging from the back, it's the second pick-up.

After the second pick-up went out, he turned right. Torako and I looked at each other and smiled, then looked up at the shrine.

At this time, Huzi and I were lucky, and I said that if Erzhu'er was held up by urine a while earlier, it is estimated that Huzi and I would be scolded for being bloody.

But then we waited for the left and the second to pick up and didn't come back, and the right waited and didn't come back.

Huzi and I were anxious, and said that this old man is not young, so nothing will go wrong. The two of us went out to look for Erji'er, but we didn't find it outside the west gable.

Huzi shouted as we walked north along the west gable, then east, and walked around the main hall but did not find the second pick-up.

Huzi kept shouting "Second Dad, Second Dad", but we didn't get any response, let alone see the light of the lantern again.

At this moment, the moon rose in the sky, and the moonlight illuminated everything around it in gray.

We walked around the hall and returned to the main entrance. Huzi amplified his voice at this time: "Second father, second father!" ”

I shouted, "Second uncle, second uncle!" ”

Unexpectedly, at this time, Er'er's voice came from the room where we were resting in the main hall.

"Ahh I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you shouting outside! ”
