"That's right, even mature human skin brocade clothes need to be nourished by flesh and blood, but they can be obtained from the outside. The old man on the 22nd floor, in his long years, did the most work to look at the corpses, and his favorite was the war years, because he didn't have to sneak around to get most of the nutrients needed for human skin brocade clothes. He is a kind old man, although he did not obtain real life, but the torment in his heart also made him worse than death. I know that that kind of day is definitely not the day you want to live. So after taking off the human skin brocade robe, I didn't tell you about it. ”

"From the flesh and blood of the dead, isn't this just ......" Xing Ruyi thought of the legendary vampires and zombies. What happens if you don't absorb flesh? ”

"Won't it be good? You won't die, you'll just feel hungry. Of course, you can also be like the old man, and eventually choose to use food to fight hunger, but you will find that ordinary food will only make you hungry more and more, and you will be like a midnight ghost, wandering in dark corners, and then seeing any living thing, your eyes will glow green. When you are wearing clothes, you look no different from anyone who passes by you, but under the clothes, there is a skeleton-like body, and the human skin brocade clothes will cling to your body, constantly torturing you. ”

Xing Ruyi couldn't imagine that scene, but she still couldn't help but sneer. She pointed to the chrysalis in the cave and asked the fox, "What about these?" Will it all become a human skin brocade robe? ”

"Maybe, maybe not!"

The fox moved its fingers, and the balls of light floating in mid-air began to move, and eventually they all stopped in front of a silkworm chrysalis. The silkworm chrysalis was a little different from the one next to it, it looked thinner, more transparent, and a little brighter. When the ball of light touches the silkworm chrysalis, it can be clearly seen that the silkworm chrysalis is soft, just like the kind of balloon that is gradually drying up in childhood.

"What is the difference between you and that silkworm chrysalis?"

"It seems to be thinner and softer." Xing Ruyi carefully observed the silkworm chrysalis under the reflection of the ball of light: "That's not right! The form of the silkworm chrysalis also seems to be different from the next one, and it seems to be slowly growing into the form of a human being. ”

"Yes! It was also a human skin brocade in the process of metamorphosis, but the difference was that it took a longer time to metamorphose. The fox stared at the silkworm chrysalis: "I think when Hui Niang's father-in-law brought Hui Niang's mother to this cave, he didn't know that there was such a strange thing hidden in this cave. He simply chose a scene where the body was murdered and buried. I don't know why, Hui Niang's mother's body quickly changed, and in a short period of time, it transformed into a perfect human skin brocade robe.

Two days later, Hui Niang's father came to her door because of her mother's disappearance. Of course, the reason why he came to the door may not be to care about his wife, but to care about the gold, silver and jewelry that were taken away by his wife. After some arguments, he angrily left Hui Niang's house, but was followed by Hui Niang's father-in-law. We don't know what they said after they left Hui Niang's house, but we know that Hui Niang's father, like her missing mother, was tricked into this cave by her father-in-law and killed there.

It may have been before killing Hui Niang's father, or it could have been after killing Hui Niang's father, in short, Hui Niang's father-in-law found the human skin brocade clothes in the cave. But at that time, he would never have thought that the unusually beautiful looking dress was actually the flesh and blood of Hui Niang's mother. He was a greedy man for small profits, so he picked up the garment with his hand.

Hui Niang overheard the conversation of her in-laws, and she vaguely guessed that her parents might have been killed by her in-laws, but she didn't have any evidence and didn't have the courage to expose all this. All she can do is to compromise, to observe in secret.

Hui Niang's father-in-law, that is, that Yunsheng, was originally in business, and when he saw the human skin brocade robe, he naturally knew that this thing was by no means an ordinary thing. Of course, he didn't know the secret, but he simply analyzed it from the perspective of the fabric, and he also knew that the clothes were expensive. He would definitely ask his father about the origin of the garment, and his father would not hide it. To put it bluntly, all kinds of things that happened in that courtyard, even if Hui Niang and Yun Sheng were not directly involved, they were also aware. ”

"So, Hui Niang also knew about this cave, and even saw the silkworm chrysalis inside." Xing Ruyi said, and glanced out of the cave again. The wind outside seemed to be a little stronger, so big that she could barely hear Hui Niang's crying: "Daddy's bones, as well as these huge silkworm chrysalis, such a visual impact is definitely not something ordinary people can bear." Therefore, Hui Niang subconsciously chose to escape. But, fox, I don't understand, since Hui Niang is unwilling to face this, why did you give her a human skin brocade robe, and even forced her to recall these painful pasts? ”

"Trust me, she remembers this much better than she doesn't. Let's go, it's time for us to go back. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Of course it's Hui Niang's home, don't forget, we have another good show to watch tonight." The fox took Xing Ruyi's hand: "Such a cold place, don't come next time." ”

Xing Ruyi nodded, and looked at the huge silkworm chrysalis illuminated by the ball of light: "What about these silkworm chrysalis?" You can't let them turn into human skin brocade clothes one by one. Although the probability is very small, so many silkworm chrysalis, even if they conjure up eight out of ten, it is enough to kill. ”

"Don't worry, I understand the truth that strange goods can live." As he spoke, the fox put his arm around Xing Ruyi and led her out of the cave, and the balls of light all landed on the silkworm chrysalis the moment they left the cave. The silkworm chrysalis burned in the fire, one after the other, and soon the cave became a sea of fire.

"Such a big fire, you just let it go so casually, isn't it?" Xing Ruyi looked at the fire in the cave worriedly: "Don't forget, it's the cold winter moon, if this fire continues to burn like this, sooner or later this mountain forest will have to be burned down." ”

"Don't worry, it's okay!" As he spoke, the fox raised his hand again, and a net, as if woven from moonlight, landed in front of the cave. And then with the fire, the net began to stretch as well, infinitely.

"Enchantment? You didn't say it earlier, so I was worried in vain. Xing Ruyi said, but his eyes moved to Hui Niang. I saw that Hui Niang, who was still sitting on the ground in a daze, stood up instantly when she saw the net.

"Daddy! Mother! ”

"Your father and mother are here, have you found a place to bury them?" The fox stretched out his hand and pointed at it, only to see that the two corpses that were still in the cave just now had already appeared beside Hui Niang.

"Fox."

Xing Ruyi hugged the fox's arm tightly, and there was a trace of gratitude in his eyes. Even she, the moment she left the cave, didn't think of bringing the two corpses out, the fox actually thought of it.

The fox patted Ruyi's hand, looked down at Hui Niang, and cast a spell without hesitation, bringing Xing Ruyi back to Hui Niang's in-laws' house from the mountains and forests.

The seemingly quiet farmhouse courtyard is brightly lit at the moment, except for those who stay in different shapes, the most conspicuous are those who surround the courtyard, neatly dressed officials. In a corner of the yard, where horses were originally tied to pigs, Chang Tai was directing some people to dig, and a disgusting smell came from time to time in the air.

"Brother Chang, what is he doing?" Xing Ruyi covered his nose vigorously.

"Why did my father and mother come back so late? This show is more than halfway through, and there is not much excitement to watch the rest. Yin Yuan said, walked up to Xing Ruyi, and reached out to pinch a translucent silk at the corner of her skirt: "Tsk, it seems that the good things that are full of caves have been destroyed by Daddy." If I had known that this was the case, I would have watched some excitement, and I would have grabbed a few silkworm chrysalis to come out to play. That thing, don't say it's this world, I'm afraid that even Qingqiu may not be found, right? ”

"How do you know about that cave, can it be that you've been there too?" Xing Ruyi frowned and looked at Yin Yuan: "Children's families, don't always run to that kind of evil place." ”

Yin Yuan touched his nose and did not speak.

In just a moment's time, Chang Tai's side has already begun to direct people to lift things outside. Although there was a distance away, Xing Ruyi still saw that the corpses that were dug out of the ground by the officials were one corpse after another.

"It turns out that what the housekeeper of Yunfu said is true. Hui Niang's in-laws are really opening a black shop. ”

"Not only do they open black shops, they are much darker than the people who open black shops." Yin Yuan raised his eyebrows and took over the conversation: "This other person opens a black shop, either for money or for life, and the most amazing thing is to chop people up and wrap them into meat buns." These two are very greedy. They don't want money, they want to die, they want to make human buns, they want the clothes they wear. By the way, did my mother see the heads of those people? ”

"Heads?" Xing Ruyi covered his nose and stood on his toes. Although there were many lanterns hanging in this courtyard, and many torches were burning, the light of the fire was dazzling, and she could only see clumps of black bones with a fishy smell, but she could not see clearly where the head was and where were the feet.

"The child has forgotten that his mother can't use those eyes now. Well, those heads, whether they are male or female, old or young, old or young, old or new, are all bald without exception. Mother, guess where all that hair went? ”

"Could it be that it was sold?"

"The human body is the parent of the skin, and it is generally believed that there is a spirit hidden in this hair, so no one will sell it, and no one will buy it. Unless it's those who practice sorcery. These two are ingenious, and they are afraid that their mothers will not think of what they will do with that hair. ”

"What else can hair do?" Xing Ruyi asked in a daze, but saw Yin Yuan smiling mysteriously at her.
