Chapter 372: Crying Outside the Window
Lingzheng walked to the side of King Ling's tomb: "Ah Tomb, how to play?" ”
Ling Wang Tomb looked at Ling Zheng in surprise: "Senior brother, you still play poker?" ”
Jin Shiyi patted King Ling's tomb on the shoulder: "This time I will occupy the big guy's side." - Third Master Ling, you are the Lord of the City God, why are you still playing cards? ”
Shen Yan stroked her belly and snorted: "You don't understand this, I didn't meet the Chenghuang Ye before the first day of junior high school, it was a cold face that has not changed for thousands of years, and when I met the Chenghuang Ye after the first day of junior high school, it was ...... It changes 10,000 times a day. Oh, okay, okay, don't discuss this topic, keep playing, I said Ling Sanye, who are you in a group with? ”
Ling Zheng asked casually, "Who is the first year of junior high school with you?" ”
Shen Yan shouted angrily: "Ouch...... This is revenge for the lady. ”
Jin Shiyi laughed and said: "Tang Chuyi and the big guy are in a group, and they lose twenty games in a row, let's see if the third master of Ling will lose thirty games?" This is not the time to compare spiritual power and magic, this is a battle of luck, come, ready, I'm going to deal the cards......"
I sat nervously behind Lingzheng, paying attention to each card that was dealt.
- Half an hour later.
Jin Shiyi threw all the cards to the ground: "Don't play, don't play, the third master of the spirit is cheating." ”
I retorted: "Who just said that this card is just luck, how can this luck be cheated?" Shen Yan, you take care of your husband. ”
Shen Yan put Jin Shiyi's arm around and said coquettishly: "I believe in my husband, hum." ”
I grimaced at Shen Yan: "Cut...... Don't play anymore. ”
King Ling's tomb glanced at a few of us suspiciously, clasped his hands on his chest, leaned back against him, closed his eyes, and ignored anyone. Jin Shiyi hugged Shen Yan to the side and whispered affectionately, I leaned on Lingzheng's body and yawned big. Lingzheng took out the small piece of wood from before and continued to carve. I looked at Lingzheng carefully, his slender fingers holding wood in one hand and carving knife in the other, such a serious appearance, it was really mouth-watering. It is said that serious men are the most attractive, and sure enough, it is true.
"First year of junior high school," Shen Yan walked behind me at some point and covered my eyes, "I found something and told you about it." ”
I took Shen Yan's hand away and became nervous, "What's the matter?" ”
Shen Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "I found that Third Master Ling is actually more handsome than my second family. ”
Me: "...... That's not nonsense! ”
Shen Yan pursed her lips.
I asked, "The old lady has taken off her pants, so you tell me this?" ”
Shen Yan's eyes narrowed: "Of course not, this is just a lubricant, what I want to say is actually the matter of the Yin King." On the first day of the new year, do you still remember the day the City God's seal was destroyed, and the Yin King was born? ”
"Remember, what's wrong?" I also plan to wait for the copper coins to be collected, and then I will reshape the golden dragon pestle for Lingzheng.
Shen Yan said: "The Yin King is messing around, I have met with the second goods a few times, we found that the Yin King can't be killed, he seems to have a reborn spiritual power, this spiritual power is very strange, and it is ...... with you."
"Shhhhh......h Someone is crying. ”
Shen Yan immediately became silent and alert, Jin Shiyi and King Ling's tomb opened their eyes almost at the same time, and there was silence in the thatched house for a while. I listened carefully, and the cry outside the house was long and short, and it didn't sound much like a human crying, but like a cat's meow, but it didn't have the high-pitched and poignant sound of a cat's meow.
But it's still quite infiltrating.
"Didn't you hear anyone crying?" Jin Shiyi scratched his head.
"I didn't hear anything else." Shen Yan also listened attentively, "Except for Jin Shiyi's belly." ”
"It's been midnight when the cards are played, can your stomach not growl with hunger?" Jin Shiyi stretched out his foot and kicked King Ling's tomb lightly, "Big man, go hunt a pheasant to eat." ”
King Ling's tomb raised his eyebrows coldly: "Do you think your life is long?" ”
Shen Yan gently pushed Jin Shiyi: "Second goods, don't provoke Brother Tomb, otherwise I will kill you." ”
Jin Shiyi's face was full of grievances: "I know, I know ......" said, and covered his face with both hands, like a little resentful woman.
I saw that they were out of tune, so I leaned into Lingzheng's ear and said softly: "I heard it, the cry is outside the house, could it be the snake demon?" ”
Lingzheng shook his head: "Snake monsters don't use cries to attract people, they are born to use charm. ”
"What could that be?" Shen Yan asked casually while tugging at Jin Shiyi's ear.
"Didn't you hear what Village Chief Wang said before? The young and middle-aged people here have gone out to work, and the rest are children, women and the elderly. Jin Shiyi touched his chin and thought for a while, and said in a very elegant manner: "According to my speculation, it is the little widow who is lonely at the front door, overly sad, and misses her lover." ”
Shen Yan twisted hard: "Second goods, can you be more normal?" ”
Jin Shiyi screamed in pain. His ears were pulled by Shen Yan, so he stretched out his legs to kick King Ling's tomb: "Big man, help me, you are so good-looking and bullied me, was she so fierce before?" King Ling's Tomb condensed a ball of spiritual power in front of Shen Yan, and said coldly, "Don't let me hear anything like that again, otherwise I'll ......" That ball of spiritual power danced a few times with the sound of King Ling's Tomb, like a ghost fire.
Shen Yan glared at Jin Shiyi angrily: "Second goods, can't you be honest?" The mouth is so poorly cleaned up, isn't it? ”
I was slightly angry: "When is it, you guys don't make trouble." ”
Ling Zheng took two slow steps, pulled the door of the inner room, and the door opened. When the door opened, he went out, and I followed, but I did not see the old woman who brought us in, but only a large vat full of water, in which a red fish swam merrily. I swear we didn't see this vat when we came in, the thatched hut was so dilapidated, and there would still be that leisure to raise fish?
After standing for a few seconds, I realized that the cry was still there, and it was not from the red fish in the tank at all. As the spirit was walking towards the gate, I followed him with my waist and opened the door like a thief.
It was pitch black outside, and the crying stopped abruptly.
Lingzheng slammed the door open, and shot a flashlight into the darkness, and I was a little curious so I stretched my head out from under his arm to take a closer look, but I was confronted with a wrinkled face, and the white head was blown by the wind and swept on my face. I was taken aback by this sudden scene, and I didn't have time to react and hugged the spirit as a lifesaver. Suppressed the screams, buried his face in his chest, and his heart beat wildly.
"Don't be afraid of the first day of junior high school." The spirit was patting me on the back.
"Little girl, your spiritual power is so strong, what are you afraid of?" People squeezed into the house, and their voices were hoarse, "There have been a lot of deaths recently, I went out and burned some paper money for them, which scared you." ”
I fixed my eyes and saw that it was the kind mother-in-law who took us, so I got down from Lingzheng with some embarrassment: "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. ”
The mother-in-law held a red fish in her hand, walked to the big tank, and put the fish in: "Go to sleep, don't come out again." Although ordinary ghosts can't get close to you, the thousand-year-old ghost snake demon can still suck your essence and blood and eat your soul, especially ah...... The reborn Yin King. ”
Yin King?
Shen Yangang also said that the Yin King, and this mother-in-law also said, could it be that this Yin King is also in the Yin Mountain Village?
"Mother-in-law, is Xiayin Mountain Village really haunted?" I deliberately asked, "Is there a snake demon?" ”
"You'd better not be nosy." My mother-in-law glared at me fiercely, and only the whites of my eyes remained, and it was chilling to look at me as if I was blind. "What about the Onmyoji, how can he beat it?"
Lingzheng gently pulled me and motioned for me to go back to the house first.
When Lingzheng and I returned to the back room, Shen Yan and the three of them actually started playing cards again, and they had a lot of fun. I thought about it alone for a while, but I didn't come up with any results, so I just waited until dawn tomorrow to make plans.
I didn't feel sleepy all night, leaning on Lingzheng's side, thinking of Ling Xiaoman and his parents who were far away in Shanghai, as well as my grandmother who lived alone in Nanwu Village. Outside the window, there were long and short cries, and there were many sounds of people walking around, and the occasional sigh was close at hand. Since he didn't know the details of the other party, Lingzheng didn't act rashly.
When the first rays of the sun passed through the cracks in the thatched hut, I struggled to my feet in Lingzheng's arms and patted the grass clippings on my body. I feel in good spirits. Shen Yan, Ling Wang's Tomb, and Jin Shiyi played cards all night, and they didn't fall asleep until four or five o'clock in the morning. I opened my backpack and covered my change of coat for Shen Yan, who was sleeping soundly in the crook of Jin Shi's last arm, while King Ling's tomb leaned against the wooden door on the side, his eyebrows furrowed, as if he had a bad dream.
Without waking them up, Lingzheng and I opened the door and walked out.
The old woman was standing by the big tank, staring at the two red fish, and I walked over: "Mother-in-law, it's early." ”
The old woman snorted: "Early, you early." ”
"What are you looking at? Is there anything wrong with this red fish? I asked curiously.
The old woman replied, "It's nothing, don't worry about it, it's none of your business, go out for a walk, and leave here when you're done." ”
I nodded obediently: "Okay mother-in-law." "Ling and I were opening the door and walking out, and there was a lot of noise outside the door, and there were dogs barking. The sun warmly shines on the ground, shining brilliantly. Xiayin Mountain Village, which had been sleeping all night, finally woke up like a normal small village, as if last night's crying and children's vigilance were just our hallucinations.
"Granny Wang, help......"
A woman's voice came from far and near, and in an instant the light dimmed in front of my eyes.
"Granny Wang, my daughter is dying, please help!"
The woman in front of her was in her forties, with a middle-aged woman's unique fat figure, white and round like a meat bun.
The mother-in-law came back to her senses from the side of the tank, and slowly walked to the door to help up the woman who was kneeling on the ground: "Sanniang, don't panic first, what's wrong with Yan'er?" Tell me about it. ”
The woman stood up with red and swollen eyes: "Granny Wang, Yan'er was fine yesterday, and she told me a joke before going to bed, and if I wake her up today, she won't wake up." I haven't woken up until now, do you think the snake demon spell has been broken again? ”
"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, Yan'er is already sixteen years old, and the snake demon spell has long been ineffective." The mother-in-law went into the house and took a cloth package, "Let's see her go first......" and then turned back to me and Ling Zhengdao, "You guys just walk around the village, don't go far, don't climb the back mountain, wait for me to come back and take you out." Remember, don't run away with anyone else. If I don't come back before dark, you stay in the back room and don't go anywhere. ”
