Chapter 121: A Misunderstanding
Me, I...... it!
Seeing this inhuman-like face appear so suddenly in front of my flash, I was so frightened that I couldn't even hold my phone and fell to the ground.
However, this extreme fear still made me subconsciously wave the stick in my hand.
The phone fell to the ground, which made me lose my vision in an instant, and I panicked, I didn't know where my stick was hit, anyway, I knocked it in that direction.
And as I moved, in the darkness, where the strange face appeared, there was a scream.
Ouch! When I heard this voice, I was also shocked, how can I listen to this movement, like a person's voice?
"Are you crazy, young man? You almost killed me! ”
Well? When I heard the sound coming from the darkness, my eyes almost popped out.
Unexpectedly, it's really a person! And listening to this accent, it's not from our city.
What's going on? In this abandoned warehouse, there are actually people living in it?
I quickly picked up my phone and turned on the light, and the extremely hideous face just now was gone, replaced by a man in tattered clothes.
At this time, he was covering his head, lowering his head, and his mouth was snorting because of pain.
"Uh...... You, are you okay? I didn't expect that there would be someone in this. ”
"Nonsense, I've called you twice, can there be no one? I thought you saw me calling you, that's why you came in! Whoever thinks you came up and gave me a stick, ouch, it hurts me to death! ”
What? He called me and called me twice? Could it be at that time......
I suddenly remembered the human face that appeared inside this warehouse when I was standing outside with Qin Baixue before.
It turns out that the human face is him!
I saw him twice, and it seems that he called me twice.
Listening to the meaning of his words, he didn't seem to have any ill will towards me and Qin Baixue, but on the contrary, he still seemed to want to save us, which made me sigh in my heart.
In any case, at least for now, it seems that this man has no malicious intent.
However, who is silent and comes out with a face!?
"Nonsense! That poisonous show has been killed with the bandits, how dare I speak out? ”
What the? Poison Xiucai took the bandits to kill? The sound of horses' hooves just now turned out to be ...... Poison Xiucai?
Hey, that's not right, seeing that every house on the ghost street has embroidered shoes, it can be concluded that the curse of this embroidered shoes has appeared.
At this time, Poison Xiucai should already be dead, right?
"Hmph, who told you that dead people can't come out? Aren't you still the same, chased here by those bloody footprints? ”
This...... I'm a little powerless to refute it, and I simply don't dwell on this matter anymore.
Now that I've met someone, I'd better ask Qin Baixue where he got it first.
"You're talking about that little girl? Don't worry, she's in a safe place, I'll take you there. ”
As he spoke, he got up from the ground and prepared to take me away.
I saw that he was covering his head, and I felt a little guilty in my heart, so I quickly asked.
"Hey, are you okay with your head? I'll take a look, if it doesn't work, I'll deal with it first. ”
As I spoke, I grabbed him and looked at his face at the same time, but at this look, my whole body trembled again, and I subconsciously took two steps back.
It's not that I'm timid, it's this person's face, it's really scary, almost half of the skin on the face is rotten, and it looks like a very serious burn.
No wonder it looked so scary just now, and it took a long time because the injury was too serious.
Seeing that I was frightened by his face, this man didn't blame, just said that it was okay, and continued to walk with me.
And as we walked forward, the chaotic shadows from before also appeared around us again.
Looking at these shadows reflected on the wall, I immediately became nervous, there were still living creatures in it!
However, compared to me, this burned man is quite calm, and like no one else, he continues to walk through the darkness, and seems to be familiar with the road.
"Big brother, big brother, what are these shadows? Why aren't you scared at all? ”
Hearing me ask in a trembling voice, the man laughed.
"Hahaha, you'll know what these things are in a while, don't worry, there's no danger, it's just that no one has been here for a few years, so they're more excited."
The man said, and walked on, not taking the shadows seriously at all.
I saw that he was not afraid, and I had a little bit of a bottom in my heart, so I refocused my eyes on this person.
When I looked at him, I was surprised to find that this person had not only burned his face, but also had many severe burn marks on his arms and legs.
Especially in that arm, the muscles looked a little atrophied, which shows how dangerous the fire was at that time......
Wait a minute! Burn? Blaze?
I was so nervous just now, so I didn't notice it, but now that I've calmed down, I thought of these two keywords!
Could it be that the person in front of me is what we are trying so hard to find, Hu Haiqiang?
Thinking of this, I immediately became a little excited, and quickly asked.
"That, man, didn't you work in a haunted house seven years ago...... Hu Haiqiang? ”
Hearing my words, the old brother's figure immediately stopped, looked back at me in surprise, and said for a long time.
"Yes, I'm Hu Haiqiang, how did you know about me?"
Seeing him admit it himself, I was also a little happy in my heart, although this experience was dangerous, but I finally found the right owner!
In order to relieve his nervousness, I also told him where I came from.
After listening to my words, Hu Haiqiang let out a long sigh, and then led me to a door.
"Alas, it's all fate, it's all fate, come on, come in and say, that little girl is here."
Hu Haiqiang said, and pushed open the door, inside, there was a not very big room, estimated to be about the same size as a hotel room.
The things inside are also quite simple, a bed, a table, a few chairs, and nothing else.
And Qin Baixue, who was sitting on a chair at this time, was talking to a ...... Monkeys playing together?
How can there be monkeys? And this monkey is not small, I feel that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an orangutan.
Seeing that the two of us were back, Qin Baixue hurriedly waved at me.
"You girl, why did you disappear as soon as you entered the warehouse? How did you get here? ”
Seeing Qin Baixue, I hurriedly walked over and carefully checked her body, but fortunately, she was not injured.
"It's okay to get water, don't be nervous, I was brought here by these little guys."
Qin Baixue said, and touched the big monkey beside him, looking quite close.
Hearing Qin Baixue's words, I immediately understood what was going on with the shadows I saw before.
This Hu Haiqiang is estimated to have raised more than one monkey, and those shadows that act quickly should all be.
Yes, after a long time of making trouble together, there are no cow ghosts and snake gods in this warehouse at all, just an unlucky ghost who didn't die seven years ago, with a group of monkeys.
After figuring these things out, I relaxed and sat down in my chair to relax.
"Brother Hu, can you tell us what happened to you back then? I heard Tang Qing say that the seven people of that year, it seemed that everyone was entangled by a curse. ”
I looked at Hu Haiqiang, but I still couldn't hold back, and asked this question directly.
But Hu Haiqiang looked at me, shook his head in confusion, and then said to me.
"Young man, I don't know what you're talking about, I just know that I shouldn't be one of those seven people, and the reason why I almost died in that fire is because I became a substitute!"
Scapegoat? In other words, Hu Haiqiang is not the seven people who damned back then!
It's one of the seven vicarious ghosts.
But...... Since he is a substitute for the dead ghost, why can he still sit in front of us so well?
"Because I also found a master, I saved this life, but Rao is like this, I was still burned into this picture, no one is a ghost, no ghost."
"Since you're here now, then I'll tell you about what happened back then."
Hu Haiqiang lit a cigarette and talked about the original incident while smoking.
Seven years ago, he didn't know that he had become a substitute for the dead, or three days before the accident, a master stopped him and told him such a situation.
At first, Hu Haiqiang didn't believe it, thinking that this master was here to cheat him out of money.
But that night, he was in his own house and saw the blood-red embroidered shoes.
In this way, he believed in this master, and asked the master to help him come up with an idea to see how he could save his life.
The master told him that if he wanted to survive, he had to wait for the day of the seventh day of the new year to burn the embroidered shoes, and then hide in this ghost street, and his life could be saved!
On the seventh day of the first month, burn embroidered shoes? Wait, then let's say, wasn't the fire in the haunted house caused by Hu Haiqiang?
"No, no, no, you're wrong, I didn't have time to light the fire at the time, and by the time I went to the haunted house with my embroidered shoes, the fire was already burning."
Mr. Hu said he saw the fire burning, so he quickly threw his embroidered shoes into it and prepared to turn around and run away.
But in just a moment, the fire had already surrounded Hu Haiqiang.
He rushed out of the sea of fire at the risk of death, although his life was saved, but his body became like this.
However, the master told him that since he was not dead, the embroidered shoes would definitely be pestering him, because he was missing something, so he could only hide in this ghost street.
Because, the evil spirits on the Black Wind Mountain can make the curse of this embroidered shoe dare not approach!
