Chapter 18: Fooled
"The ...... who broke in by accident Good, good......"
I heard a cough getting closer and closer, but I still couldn't see anything.
"Since you don't eat from the underworld, this place is not suitable for you, if you want to go back, follow me honestly, otherwise the ghosts on this street will definitely not let you go."
When I heard this, I suddenly felt a warmth in my heart. So just as I was about to thank him, a light suddenly appeared in front of me. As the light grew louder and louder, the street outside reappeared in front of my eyes.
I was about to step away when an old man with a rickety back stepped out from behind me. He was wearing a gray Mao suit, full of gray hair, carrying a "Luo Guo" behind him, and he looked particularly strenuous when he walked bently.
"Let's go...... I'll get you out of here......"
As he spoke, he smiled at me and then coughed violently. The streets had now become calm, and I didn't know why they were chasing me, but they had apparently lost interest in me.
I walked quietly behind the old man and asked softly, "Grandpa, who are you?" ”
The old man covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then turned his head to me and said quietly, "The people who live on this street are all poor people, if you want to leave alive, shut up for me, and I really can't save you if you cause a riot in the street." ”
Seeing that the old man said this, I quickly closed my mouth.
Follow the old man along the long street. Passing by a dilapidated stall, the old man stopped abruptly.
This stall is set up in front of a shop, and the banner clearly reads "wonton". I glanced curiously at the cauldron, and sure enough, I saw that there were more than two dozen chaos boiling in the boiling cauldron.
But the soup in the pot was a thick, blood-red liquid, and I could even smell a fishy smell when I walked up to the cauldron. The chaos was tumbling up and down in such a pot, and it looked particularly disgusting.
When the Chaos stall owner saw the old man coming, he looked up at me slightly, and then picked up a key directly from under its Chaos stall. The old man took the key, and stepped forward to open the door of the shop.
"Let's go, we're in place."
"This ...... Where is this? Aren't you going to take me back? ”
I looked at the old man with a puzzled face, but I saw that the old man suddenly smiled sinisterly at me, and said, "This is the exit...... Let's go inside. ”
I looked at the black hole in the room, and I felt a little uneasy. Just now, I thought that this old man was kind and kind, but at this time, I saw that his face was full of evil spirit.
I knew I was on the thief ship, and I was about to turn and run away, when the old man grabbed me by the arm and threw me straight into the room where I couldn't see my fingers.
"Where is this...... Let me out...... Let me out......"
After the old man threw me into the house, he locked the door from the outside. I was lying on the doorway, banging on the door, but I heard the old man talking to the chaos stall owner.
"You got this man?"
"No, I intercepted it in the middle of the road, is the old ghost awake?"
"I didn't hear anything going on inside, but I guess it's about the same time, thanks to this kid coming in time, otherwise our street will suffer again."
"Isn't there a new woman out here?"
"Hehe, that girl is a little beautiful, and I am reluctant to give her away until I have to."
If I'm not mistaken, the girl in the mouth of the old pervert should be Zhang Ting, but what is the "old ghost" in his mouth? They are all ghosts now, do ghosts also have something to fear?
For some reason, I was surprisingly calm at this time. I sat down slowly on the floor against the door behind me, and my eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness in front of me.
Actually, it's not pitch black, it's just that it's so bright outside, so I didn't feel pitch black when I first arrived. The room was not very large, and there were two oil lamps on the walls on either side that shimmered with a faint blue light.
The oil lamp emitted a faint beam of light that I didn't even pay attention to it when I first came in. And in the middle of this room there is something that looks like a screen, and there must be something behind a screen like this.
So I simply got up and walked slowly behind the screen. By the faint light of the oil lamp, I could see that there was a hidden door behind the screen.
I walked to the door, and through the crack I saw that there was a small courtyard behind the door. This small courtyard is very clean, but in the middle of this small courtyard there is a black coffin lying horizontally.
Next to the coffin lay a humanoid skeleton, holding something like a gourd wine jug in its hand, as if it had died drunk in the courtyard. I don't know why I looked at the humanoid skeleton, and there was not the slightest fear in my heart, but an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
I simply pushed the door open and walked straight into the courtyard, and the moment I pushed the door open, a foul smell came to my face. There was no other exit to the courtyard, and the four high walls made me give up the possibility of escaping.
I slowly walked to the simple black coffin, only to find that the lid of the black coffin was not sealed, but only hidden. Through the black coffin, I seemed to see something lying inside. Slowly, my gaze shifted from the black coffin to the humanoid skeleton.
Only then did I realize that the humanoid skeleton still had a piece of yellowed paper in its left hand. Out of curiosity, I picked up the paper directly from the skeleton's hand, and when I opened the yellow paper, I was surprised by the lines of words that came into my eyes.
Although the characters on the paper were written with a brush, every character on it was literally simplified Chinese characters.
"Man dies as a ghost, a ghost dies as a deaf, and the ghost fears the deaf as the Jew fears the ghost. If you want to live, you must first become one with it, and since you have the courage to open this piece of paper, you must have the courage to live. ”
At this time, black smoke began to rise from the black coffin. The puffs of black smoke were like Deadpools about to break through the cage, and at the same time, the entire black coffin began to shake incessantly.
