Chapter 9: Jia Ren's Past
Hearing the shouts of his younger brother behind him, Jia Ren took a deep breath, and the hand holding the pig-killing knife became harder and harder, and the hideous and terrifying female ghost in front of him did not stop the two of them running into the secret passage, but just stared at herself with interest, and the playful eyes were like cats teasing mice.
Jia Ren did not retreat, carrying a knife and walking towards the other party step by step, the closer he got to his heart, the calmer it became, just like that stormy night at that time.
Closer, closer, even if it's a ghost, I don't believe there is anything in this world that can't be killed.
Ten steps, eight steps, five steps...
Looking at the female ghost in front of her who was getting clearer and clearer, Jia Ren could already clearly see every distorted face that was stitched together on her face, and these faces seemed to be still alive and looked hideous and painful.
Three steps!
Jia Ren rushed over, this distance was enough for him to exert the greatest lethality, and when he came to the female ghost, Jia Ren felt an inexplicable pressure coming from the surface, and subconsciously slashed at the female ghost's neck with a wave of the knife, but Jia Ren's high hope for a knife did not have any effect, and the pig-killing knife passed directly through the female ghost's body.
"Is this an apparition? Hallucination? Still is? ”
Looking at the hideous grimace facing him, Jia Ren's heart was full of doubts.
"Uh..."
Jia Ren, who was stunned looking at the pig-killing knife that passed through the female ghost, suddenly trembled, and slowly looked down at his chest in disbelief, a plain white hand passed through his chest, and blood flowed down his hand and fell to the ground drop by drop.
The female ghost looked at him with a resentful gaze, and pulled out her hand violently, blood gushed out instantly, and Jia Ren, who lost his support, slowly fell to the ground, as the blood passed, his eyes gradually blurred, and his consciousness gradually fell into blur, and he vaguely heard the sound of high heels hitting the floor at the end of the stairs...
Before falling into darkness, Jia Ren remembered that night a few years ago, when his drunken father returned home, he grabbed their brother and beat them up without saying anything, but the relatives who were guests at home around him stood by and watched, as if they were watching a good show, drinking wine and eating dishes while adding them.
"It's a good fight, if these two wild species are killed, no one will take care of them."
"Second uncle, hahaha, haven't you eaten enough, do you want me to fight for you for a while?"
"I used to think that my second sister-in-law was a serious woman, but I didn't expect it."
"Phew, what a second sister-in-law, that's a slut! People say, right? Hahaha. ”
"I'm going to kill you little bastard today."
···
Listening to the cursing around him, Jia Ren didn't know where he got the courage and strength, so he broke free from his father's hand and ran into the kitchen.
"Hey, the little cub still dares to run, let me catch you and kill you!"
The father curled up his cuffs and walked to the kitchen, leaving behind a bunch of relatives who laughed at him still drinking and having fun.
"Little cub, get out of here, I have to beat you to death today."
Pushing open the kitchen door, he was still scolding and shouting, and before his eyes could adjust to the darkness in the kitchen, Jia Ren, who was holding the pig-killing knife and hiding next to the door, suddenly rushed out and stabbed his father's body, taking advantage of the fact that he bent down to cover the wound, tightly covering his father's mouth to prevent him from making a sound, but the other hand kept repeatedly stabbing the person in front of him with the knife without stopping.
This is his nominal father, obviously he killed his mother and then hid the body, it was obviously his fault, but he said that his mother had an affair with someone else and ran away, he saw it that night, he saw everything! Seeing the madness he had when he killed his mother, seeing where he had hidden the body, but no one believed him no matter what he said, or they all knew it, but still pretended to know nothing about the person in front of him.
Blood sprayed and stained his cheeks, but he looked at his father who had lost his breath in front of him, he smiled happily, he remembered a sentence he had read in a book before, "Murderers are always killed!"
Jia Ren's eyes were red, and he looked through the crack in the door at the group of people who were eating and drinking and his younger brother who had fallen to the side and lost consciousness, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an evil smile, you all have to die tonight!
He didn't know how many times he swung the knife that night, and he didn't know how many times he was injured, he took advantage of the fact that the people outside had drunk too much and sneaked over, first stabbed three directly by surprise, and then the rest of the people reacted and surrounded him and wanted to kill him, but after all, he drank too much and couldn't even stand on his feet, so what kind of fight to talk about? What's more, this is not a fight, but a fight! A fight for life!
Jia Ren still remembers that in the end, he was scarred and peeled off their skins with his own hands, took them to the place where his father buried his mother, and built a small grave with earth little by little, put the human skins in front of the grave, and drank the wine left over from the house that had not been destroyed...
Thinking of the taste of wine at that time, Jia Ren, who fell to the ground, couldn't help but smash his lower lip, blood kept gushing out of his chest, and he had never drunk such delicious wine since then, in fact, wine was the wine that could be seen everywhere on the street, but the mood at that time was unique, the pleasure of revenge and the self-blame of killing his father and relatives were entangled, and the wine in his mouth felt unusually delicious.
"Brother, my brother can't protect you anymore in the future, I hope you can live well..."
Jia Ren muttered unsearchably, as his eyes fell into complete darkness, the last thing that flashed in his mind was the words he had said to his father's corpse that night, that the murderer will always kill him.
"Perhaps, this is retribution."
There was a realization in his heart, but the last sentence still couldn't be said after all, and Jia Ren had already fallen into boundless darkness.
Hearing the sound of the stairs behind her, the female ghost beside Jia Ren slowly withdrew the finger that stopped on Jia Ren's face, hesitated for a moment, and chose to turn around and chase the two people who escaped into the secret passage.
The gloomy corridor regained a level of peace, except for the person who stayed at the door, the sound of clear high heels came from far and near, and finally stopped at Jia Ren's side, the female ghost in white slowly squatted down, tilted her head to look at Jia Ren who was lying on the ground and her chest was penetrated, opened her mouth, the silk thread sewn on her mouth tore her lips, leaving a drop of blood, and the female ghost spit out a few words with difficulty, her voice was unusually hoarse, revealing a thick resentment.
"Another one..."
Then, as if he had lost interest in the corpse, he raised his head through the wide open door to look at the unfathomable secret passage behind the closet that had not returned to its original position after opening it, and the only remaining eye flashed madness and hysteria, and he chased after it into the depths of the secret passage without hesitation.
···
"Brother, why do we have to go to the three of them, they left us alone first, even if there are any variables, our mission only requires us to live until dawn, we are much safer than the unknown situation."
Mo Linxue held Linlin with one hand, shook Mo Yuan's arm with the other, and kept complaining.
Of course, for Mo Yuan, this is more like a little girl's coquettishness than complaining, and he is not surprised that his sister has had this temper since she was a child.
Reaching out and holding his sister's swinging arm, Mo Yuan stared ahead, and explained to his sister without looking back.
"Do you remember that you once said that Yang Fan said that the candle should be lit with the match in their hand?"
"Huh? It seems like there is such a thing, but what does this mean? Aren't we all on fire? And it looks pretty good, too. ”
"It's different, after we light it, this candle may only be used to illuminate, and it can't achieve the effect of driving away evil spirits, as for why, have you forgotten the Linlin you are leading?"
"Linlin? What happened to Linlin? ”
Mo Linxue curiously turned her head to look at the little girl who had been following him very well-behaved, and felt Mo Linxue's gaze, Linlin also raised her head curiously, and looked at Mo Linxue with her big watery eyes.
"Poof."
Seeing Linlin's incomprehensible cute appearance, Mo Linxue couldn't help laughing, let go of the hand holding her brother's arm, and couldn't help but come to Linlin's chubby little face and knead it wantonly.
Seeing that his sister had put the question she had just asked for in an instant, Mo Yuan couldn't help but feel a headache, and reached out to pat Mo Linxue's little head to stop her from continuing to bully Xiao Linlin, and Mo Yuan then opened his mouth to bring the topic back on track.
"Have you forgotten that Linlin is also like her mother."
"Like her mother?"
Mo Linxue tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly reacted that although Linlin looked very cute and no different from the little sister next door, she was still a ghost in essence! If the candle had worked, Lingling wouldn't have been in that room and playing with her.
Seeing the expression of fear on his sister's face, Mo Yuan touched his sister's head.
"Therefore, we are going to find the three of them, and only by getting the matches in their hands to light this candle can we achieve the effect of warding off evil spirits, which may be the key to whether we can survive tonight."
"But, brother, didn't you make an agreement with Linlin's mother? Then she shouldn't have a reason to hurt us again, right? ”
Mo Yuan looked at his sister helplessly, when will this girl be smarter.
"Linxue, you have two mistakes to pay attention to, first of all, in addition to Linlin, Linlin's parents should also have a female ghost, and from the current situation analysis, this female ghost's ability will not be weaker than Linlin's mother, or even much stronger."
"Why?"
Mo Linxue blinked her innocent big eyes, interrupted Mo Yuan's narration, and raised her right hand like a curious baby, Mo Yuan almost choked to death when she saw her virtue without breathing.
"Ahem..."
While holding his chest and coughing, he threw the disorganized diary from Linlin's father in his hand to his sister.
"If Linlin's mother's ability is enough to deal with that female ghost, it is necessary to brutally torture and kill... Uh, let's fight that female ghost together? ”
Mo Yuan almost said the words of his father who tortured Linlin, and suddenly glanced at Linlin, and found that she was listening to her words curiously, and swallowed back the words that were about to be spit out, and saw that his sister was seriously flipping through the diary to check, Mo Yuan finally felt a little relieved, and continued
"Second, Linlin's mother may not hurt me, not us."
Hearing this, Mo Linxue raised her little head that was pasted on the diary to identify the contents, looked at Mo Yuan and asked
"Why?"
"Because it's me, not us, who made a deal with her mother, which means that as long as I'm alive, this agreement won't be null and void no matter what you do."
"But what reason does she have to come to us? We have no grievances with her. ”
"The tiger and the lamb are equally innocent."
Mo Yuan said coldly, no longer caring about his sister's questions, and continued to concentrate on walking forward, after all, he had already said a few key points, as for whether he could understand it, it was his sister's business.
Behind him, Mo Linxue stood in a daze, realizing what her brother had just said, and Linlin, who was holding her, saw that Mo Linxue didn't stop, and cautiously approached Mo Linxue's side, and shook Mo Linxue's arm timidly.
"Sister, did Linlin do something wrong to make my sister and brother unhappy?"
Mo Linxue woke up from her contemplation, looking at Linlin, who had tears in front of her eyes that were already spinning in her eyes and seemed to be slipping down at any time, she suddenly felt pity, forgot all the words that her brother had just said in a blink of an eye, and touched Linlin's little head lovingly.
"Linlin didn't do anything wrong, good, don't cry, you have to follow your sister closely and don't run around."
Looking at the back of his brother gradually walking away, Mo Linxue hurriedly led Linlin forward.
"Hmph, bad brother, you're waiting for your gentle and lovely sister!"
Hearing the energetic voice behind him, Mo Yuan's demeanor that turned around and left was not left in an instant, and he already understood from this voice that what he had just said was a waste of saliva.
"Amitabha."
Looking at the two brothers and sisters who were still lively and fighting in such a situation, Fa Ming chanted a Buddha name softly, and his voice was full of emotion and a hint of envy.
When passing by Fa Ming's side, Mo Linxue playfully patted Fa Ming's back.
"What are you doing in a daze, uncle bald, if you don't hurry up and keep up, my brother will leave us and run away."
Fa Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at Mo Linxue who was jumping and chasing Mo Yuan, he was a little distracted and immediately reacted and quickly followed.
"Amitabha, donor, although the poor monk has become a monk, but in terms of age, I am afraid that it is not a few years different from your brother, if you want to call it, you should also call the poor monk brother instead of uncle."
Fa Ming said to Mo Linxue's back, trying to convince the other party about his age and title.
"Well, okay, big bald uncle."
Fa Ming: "···"
