Chapter 335: Between Life and Death
Lu Qingjin was still very apprehensive, but when he heard this, he almost laughed angrily, and while looking at the situation under the mountain, he said softly: "You are an out-and-out cunning monkey, this is obviously what you want to follow, you can rely on me, but you can rest assured that although this village is weird, there should be no danger." ”
Concubine Yun followed two steps forward and looked around, shrunk back and said fiercely: "Don't look at me, I have still seen some of the world, you see that the black and red on the wall are all bloodstains that have dried up to become like that, I don't believe that a village that touches the wall with blood will be much better, besides, you have not heard any movement at all now." ”
This is indeed a little strange, now the sun is not yet set, and the place is still the time to eat, here is more like early morning or late at night, Lu Qingjin came and ran to Qin Zhao's side with interest: "You have been here for a long time, when will we go in?" It's getting dark for a while, so we'll have to find a place to spend the night! ”
Concubine Yun was still afraid and shrunk behind, and when she heard the words, she immediately ran out and said hurriedly: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, when did we say that we were going to go in and spend the night inside, let's go back while it's not dark yet!" If there's anything to do, you'll have to come by yourself tomorrow. ”
Lu Qingjin turned his head helplessly and said impatiently: "It's almost enough, your current appearance is not as good as Concubine Li, who is pregnant with a child!" ”
Concubine Yun took two steps forward unwillingly and said indignantly: "Concubine Li is originally from a general's family, I can't compare with her at all, besides, this thing has nothing to do with courage or anything, several of us are all valuable, how can we cherish our lives, what should you do if you are so reckless and can't get out?" ”
Qin Zhao reluctantly separated the two of them and said: "It's really late now, even if we return along the road, we won't be able to get to the palace, besides, it will take a day to come up from this mountain, even if we come again tomorrow, we will spend the night here, you will be settled!" It's a big deal, these five guards are all left to protect you, and the two of us will go in and have a look! ”
Concubine Yun was just a little scared, but not to the extent that she wanted to sacrifice two people, she sighed, and just wanted to say something, she heard the sound of the door opening, and the group looked over vigilantly, only to see that the people at the head of the village had opened the door, and a little girl with round eyes was looking at them.
Qin Zhao stepped forward and asked softly, "Do you live here?" Why did you come out so late? Where are the adults in your family? ”
The little girl looked at them and suddenly giggled, and said innocently: "Uncle, what are you talking about?" It's not dark this day, of course my father and mother are sleeping in the house, how strange are you coming here at this time? Don't you all have to sleep when it's dawn? ”
The little girl said that it was like getting up after dark and going to bed at dawn, which was originally a reassuring fairy tale, but now it sounded unexpectedly infiltrating, and everyone couldn't help but think about who would turn day and night upside down?
Seeing that Concubine Yun was about to cry when she covered her mouth with her hands, Lu Qingjin hurriedly stepped forward to block Concubine Yun's sight and said softly: "We are all from outside the mountain, and the people outside our mountain work during the day and sleep at night, can my little sister take us to your parents?" ”
The little girl looked at them with some distress, and suddenly her expression changed, and she said very happily: "No need to go, sister!" Father and Mother are right behind you! ”
Concubine Yun slowly turned her head in disbelief, only to see an aging face infinitely enlarged in front of her, and there were still fine pieces of skin in the folds on her face, and the smell of dirt on her body was clearly visible, it was not what a living person should be, Lu Qingjin saw this, and hurriedly walked over to protect Concubine Yun behind him and asked: "We came a little early, it's really disturbing, but our schedule is different from yours, we need to find a place to rest and rest at this time, I don't know if you two can take in a night?" ”
Concubine Yun gently tugged at Lu Qingjin's sleeve while sobbing softly to show her dissatisfaction, Lu Qingjin gently patted his hand to comfort him, and the elderly woman smiled and pulled her husband towards the house: "If you are not afraid, just sleep in this room!" If there's anything you want to ask, just ask! ”
Lu Qingjin saw that the attitude of a few people was kind, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, although she could see that the blood stains on this house were not human, and the villagers were not murderous bad people, but she was not sure whether these villagers were xenophobic or not, if they were really xenophobic, they would have to sleep in the barren mountains and mountains, where snakes, insects, tigers and leopards were complete, far more dangerous than this strange place.
When Lu Qingjin was thinking, Qin Zhao had already taken the lead in asking: "Just now, we heard this kid say that you are sleeping, but in the blink of an eye, you appeared behind us, I guess you didn't sleep in the house, right?" ”
The husband, who has always been honest, suddenly showed a terrifying smile and said slowly: "In our village, except for the children, they don't sleep in the house, because this house is used to raise evil spirits, if you sleep in the house, people will walk on the edge of life and death, and if you don't have a good one, you can't come back, there are a lot of people in our village who have died, if you are not afraid, just sleep here!" ”
Lu Qingjin shuddered when he heard this, and frowned a little angrily, Concubine Yun was already timid, so she would definitely not live, but it was all the people in the village at night, and no one knew if there were any ill-intentioned people among them, so the whole team was in a dilemma.
Just like Lu Qingjin thought, Concubine Yun was indeed very scared, but seeing Lu Qingjin's appearance, Concubine Yun inexplicably had some courage, and she stumbled for a while before saying, "Let's stay here at night!" It's so unsafe out there, and besides, I don't believe in ghosts and gods that much, so it should be okay to stay here for one night. ”
Lu Qingjin breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly arranged for someone to pack his luggage, and the group had climbed the mountain for a day, and there was nothing to dislike when they saw this, so they found a place to sleep, Lu Qingjin listened to the sound of people walking in the village outside the door, and couldn't sleep for a while.
The sound of everyone's breathing in the dark was clearly audible, Lu Qingjin quietly closed his eyes and thought about his own affairs, and after a while, a faint fragrance came, and when Lu Qingjin opened his eyes, the scenery in front of him had long since become not in the house.
