Chapter 77: True and False He Xiaoxue
I subconsciously turned my head when I heard the sound, but I saw He Xiaoxue, dressed in red, appearing in front of me, with a gentle smile on her face, as usual, where was there still the fragile appearance before.
"Light snow! You're ......."
My eyes lit up, and I was about to approach when suddenly, He Xiaoxue's excited voice came from behind me.
"Nine streams! Don't go over! She's a fake! ”
I immediately stopped, turned my head to look, and there was also a He Xiaoxue behind me, the clothes on her body were dirty and shabby, her eyes were full of red, and her face was even more bruised, as if she was before she was put into the urn by Old Man Liu.
"Little ...... Light snow! What's going on?! ”
Seeing this scene, I was stunned, and turned my head to look at He Xiaoxue, who was exactly the same on both sides, and for a while, it was difficult to distinguish.
"I'm real! Nine-rate, come here! ”
"She's fake, I'm the real one! Jiuliu, you have to believe me! ”
"She's a ghost!"
"She's the one she is!"
……
The two had a violent quarrel, I couldn't tell which side I didn't dare to go over, for fear that I would choose the wrong ghost and die at her hands.
While hesitating, I looked down at the gossip compass in my hand, wondering if it could help me distinguish which one was the real He Xiaoxue and which one was pretended to be a ghost.
The lead needle on the gossip compass, as if it had done with me, swayed from side to side between the two, turning sharply towards one, and then pointing at the other.
Didn't help at all!
It's useless!
I let out a sigh of relief, and looked at the two again, my eyes becoming fierce, as if they were going to fight in the next second.
A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly thought of a possibility, and a chill suddenly rose from my back.
If the gossip compass is not wrong, then the two people in front of him may not be He Xiaoxue!
Click!
As I was carefully stepping back, I suddenly stepped on a tree branch, and suddenly an abrupt sound appeared.
The two fake He Xiaoxue also stopped arguing and stared at me expressionlessly, with a green light in their eyes.
One of them said: "What are we fighting for here, it would be nice to have half of us!" ”
"yes!" Another chimed in.
The wind was blowing, and I turned around and fled, but before I could take a few steps, a huge force came from behind me, and I was directly knocked to the ground.
The gossip compass fell to the side, the lead needle swayed from side to side, the handbag fell to the ground, and the zipper opened slightly, vaguely revealing the handle of the peachwood sword inside.
The wind came from behind me, and I didn't think much about it, so I reached out and grabbed the handle of the peachwood sword, turned around sharply, and stretched out my hand to wave it wildly.
Yes! Yes!
There were two terrible screams in my ears, two yin winds drifted by, and the surroundings fell silent, and I opened my eyes carefully, leaving me alone to sit on the ground.
If it weren't for the lingering palpitations I had now, I would have almost thought that what had just happened was just my hallucination.
I looked at the peachwood sword in my hand, and I was a little grateful to the innkeeper, if she hadn't given me these things, I guess I would have folded it in the ghost wall!
Slightly relieved, I stood up silently from the ground, patted the dust on my body, picked up the gossip compass, took my handbag, looked at the surrounding environment, and found that the south, south, west, and northwest were almost the same, and now it was night, there was no sun, and I wouldn't look at the stars, and I didn't know where to go.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of gongs and drums from the front, which sounded like the joy of someone in the village when they got married in the past, but now it suddenly appeared in the deep mountains, and it looked strange and infiltrating.
I cautiously stepped forward, hid behind the tree to observe, and found that it was a house, with colorful lights, two red lanterns hanging on the door, each pasted with a happy word, and a few tables of banquets were placed outside the door, which were full of people, men, women and children, but they were all wearing costumes from the Republic of China.
They pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and the scene was very lively, but in my opinion, they were not ordinary people.
The old people in the village once said that in the deep mountains and old forests, animals and ghosts are easy to become spirits after a long time, and they like to become humans the most.
However, because some things are not cultivated enough, once they want to become human, they will choose to find people who are lost in the mountains, and then peel off their human skins and wear them on their bodies.
I swallowed my saliva with some fear, and was about to turn around and quietly touch the person, when I found that the lead needle on the gossip compass in my hand was swaying left and right, and it actually pointed in the direction of the big mansion.
Hold the grass! Isn't that asking me to die?!
I hesitated, but looking at the lead needle on the gossip compass, I didn't know where to go anyway, in case the blind cat ran into a dead mouse!
Bowed slowly towards the direction of the mansion, around the back of the house, found that the wall was three meters high, fortunately I used to climb over the wall, so I first threw my handbag over the wall, then moved my wrist, took two steps back, sprinted two steps, jumped, stepped on the wall, and climbed over the wall.
I propped up my hands, jumped down, protected my head, curled up and rolled along the force twice to unload the force, stood up unharmed, looked around, and found that no one paid attention to this side, so I took my handbag and hid behind the rockery, breathing slowly, and observing the surroundings by the way.
Now in the position, apparently the backyard of the house, everywhere is lit up, as if to do a happy event, waiting for a while, and seeing no one else, I hunched over to the bottom of the room, took out the gossip compass from my pocket, and followed the direction of its needle, to find the door of a room.
Boom!
There was a faint cry in the room, listening to the seepage.
I tried left and right, and found that no matter how I changed, the lead pin pointed to the room in front of me, and it seemed that it was necessary for me to enter.
Creak......
I gently pushed the door, and found that it was not locked, and I followed the small crack in the door to enter the room, and I was greeted by the bright red color of the room, and there were wine glasses and snacks on the table in the room, and the crying stopped.
Slowly walking into the inner room, I saw a bride in a bright red wedding dress sitting on the bed, her white hands exposed, more delicate by the wedding dress, and her head was covered with a hundred years of good red hijab.
That cry just now, it seems to be hers?
I guess I'm finally getting married, so I'm crying with joy.
My own affairs are in a mess, where do I still have the leisure to take care of other people's affairs, I still hurry up to find the Yin Qi Spring, cure He Xiaoxue, and then leave quickly.
“…… Messire? ”
I looked down at the gossip compass, and when I was looking for it, a delicate, crying voice suddenly appeared in the room.
Hearing the prestige, it was the bride.
"Ahem, huh!" I coughed twice, deliberately muffled in a low voice.
She probably heard the sound of the door opening just now, so she stopped crying, there are obviously people in the house, if I don't respond, if she lifts the hijab and finds that I am not her object, and calls someone, it will kill me!
After I answered, she didn't say anything more, but her exposed hands were more tangled.
I was about to start to get tangled up, retract my gaze, and continue to look at the gossip compass in my hand, and after turning around and around, the needle finally stopped and pointed in the direction behind me.
And the position behind me is exactly the direction of the bride.
I couldn't laugh or cry all of a sudden, is this gossip compass playing with me?!
Where the danger is pointed!
"Xianggong...... Aren't you going to lift the hijab?! ”
The bride spoke again at this time.
Now it's embarrassing!
I was a little at a loss, I didn't know what to do, I couldn't really be the groom's official to lift the hijab.
But time was getting tighter, and the devil knew when the groom would enter the house.
I simply stepped forward, sat next to the bride, and took the opportunity to look at the marriage bed, which was covered with peanuts, longan, dates and lotus seeds, taking the meaning of giving birth to a noble son early.
Everything here is really like the steps of marriage in ancient times, and there are two gold-rimmed red candles at the door.
I didn't notice anything unusual, but as I was thinking about it, the bride sitting next to me reached out and lifted the red hijab on her head.
I didn't react for a while, I didn't have time to stop it, I could only watch the white hands, slowly lifting the red hijab, revealing a small face, with tear stains, heavy makeup, but the eyes were unexpectedly clear.
"You...... It's not me! ”
She was not as excited as I imagined, she looked at me in a daze, looked up and down, and said lightly.
Forehead......
I was stared at by her clean eyes, I couldn't lie at all, and I didn't know how to explain it, but she looked at me in surprise and said, "You! You're human! ”
"Of course I'm human, aren't you?"
When I heard this, I didn't think much about it, and subconsciously laughed out loud, but after saying that, I reacted, what did she mean by this......
"I'm not, I'm a fox."
She said with an innocent face, and after speaking, she was afraid that I would not believe it, so she took off the red hijab on her head, revealing a pair of white ears on her head.
I was stunned, stunned to look at my slightly trembling ears, not knowing how to react, my brain cramped, raised my hand to caress her ears, the tentacles were soft.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and the bride seemed to react, looked at me a little nervously, got up and said anxiously: "Oh no, people can't appear here!" Hurry up and hide! If you find out, you'll die! ”
Yes!
The footsteps outside the house were getting closer and closer, and in a hurry, I lay directly on the ground and hid under the bed.
Creak!
As soon as I hid, I heard the sound of the door opening, and through the crack, I saw two people entering the house.
"Hei Ye, this is your bride? A white fox, hehe. "The voice of a strange woman, coquettish, gives goosebumps to listen to.
"Well, the White Fox Clan came up." The man's gloomy voice, with disdain in his tone, was clearly indifferent to the bride.
Listening to this, it seems to be a political marriage, and the groom official doesn't seem to be willing to do so, it's a pity that such a good bride looks so simple.
"Xianggong ......" the bride's timid voice came.
Syllable!
