Chapter 8: Baby Heads
"Let's go, I won't take any money from you." Mrs. Zhou issued an eviction order.
What's the situation? Why did you suddenly drive people away? I was about to get up and go out in a daze, but I was stopped by Zheng Zhilong, and he said to Mrs. Zhou: "Auntie, you can't see death without help, we are willing to pay any amount." ”
Hearing him say this, I also reacted, Mrs. Zhou is unwilling to continue to interfere, doesn't that mean that my situation is very dangerous? Maybe it's going to be a real life.
Thinking of this, my brain twitched, and I knelt directly on the ground: "Auntie, save me, I'm still young and don't want to die." ”
I begged bitterly, Mrs. Zhou's face was entangled, and after thinking for a long time, she sighed: "You get up, I'll think of a way." ”
I wanted to ask what was going on with the scorched black palm print, but when I saw Mrs. Zhou rummaging through the cabinets with a serious face, I didn't dare to ask.
The things that Zhou Shenpo found out were quite strange, such as the antique bronze lamp dug up in the grave at a glance, the corpse of a bat, the skin of a toad, and the tongue of an animal that I don't know what it was, which made people get goosebumps just when they looked at it.
This is not over, Zhou Shenpo turned out a spherical object wrapped in red cloth from the box, and after disassembling the layers of cloth, the thing revealed its true face, it was actually a withered yellow baby head, it closed its eyes, and it looked like it was asleep.
This...... I couldn't help but fight, and I regretted it a little in my heart, these things that Mrs. Zhou took out are more like those evil demons in the TV series, what should happen to me?
Just as I was hesitating, Mrs. Zhou had already lit the bronze lamp full of green embroidery, and placed a small pot on the flame, which was also rusty.
Then, she picked up the bottle next to her and poured the viscous liquid into the small pot, and the room was suddenly filled with a fishy smell, and when I looked closely, the viscous liquid turned out to be dark red blood, bubbling in the small pot.
Then, Zhou Shenpo also took out a knife out of nowhere, cut off half of the bat's body and threw it into the small pot, a strange scene appeared, the bat corpse fell into the tumbling blood, and it quickly softened and melted like paraffin.
All sorts of strange things were thrown into the cauldron one after another, and the blood in the pot turned from dark red to bright red, and the smell in the room became more and more strange, and even the temperature of the air around it seemed to have decreased, and there was an eerie feeling.
Finally, Mrs. Zhou stopped what she was doing, exhaled softly, and extinguished the copper lamp.
Just when I thought everything was over, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded: "Grandma, I'm so hungry!" What's delicious about it? ”
The voice was like a child's voice, but it was sharp and harsh, I turned my head to look, and suddenly shuddered, I don't know when, the baby's head that was put aside by Mrs. Zhou actually opened its eyes, and it was staring at the liquid in the small pot with burning eyes.
Zhou Shenpo glanced at the baby's head with a complicated expression, reached out and picked up the small pot, and poured the still bubbling blood into the baby's head's mouth.
Strange to say, the baby's head had no body, but the blood poured into its mouth was like a bottomless pit, and not a drop of blood leaked out.
As the blood poured down, the baby's thin skin also became plump at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon became white and fat, and the skin also had a healthy pink appearance. It's just that it only has a head, no body, and it looks more and more weird and terrifying.
"Grandma, it's so delicious, is there anything else?" The baby's head spoke again, this time with a crisp voice that was no different from that of a normal child.
Mrs. Zhou didn't answer, reached out and pulled my left hand, and without saying a word, pressed the baby's head in her hand on my left arm.
A sharp pain came from my arm, the sharp teeth of the baby's head bit into my skin, and a cold breath burrowed from the wound into my arm, and the scorched black palm prints on my arm gushed out a hot breath, mixed with the cold breath.
The two breaths were mixed and entangled, and it felt like someone was holding an electric drill to drill my flesh and bones, and I passed out with black eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Zheng Zhilong's concerned face, and Zhou Shenpo stood aside, her face was ugly.
I quickly looked at my left arm, and the baby's head was long gone, and the two charred palm prints on the arm were gone, leaving only two faint red palm prints, but there was a shallow circle of teeth next to it.
The palm print is gone, and I am saved. I hurriedly got up and thanked Mrs. Zhou, but she waved her hand and said, "You go quickly, don't come to me again in the future." ”
I wanted to say something, but Zheng Zhilong dragged me away and walked out of the yard, and I was puzzled and asked, "Why are you so eager to pull me away?" ”
"You were unconscious just now, I don't know the situation, that little ghost's head was burned to ashes, and Mrs. Zhou vomited blood." Zheng Zhilong lowered his voice and said.
"Huh?!"
Zheng Zhilong told me that in fact, the serious illness of Mrs. Zhou back then was the hemorrhage caused by a miscarriage, and there have always been rumors in private that Mrs. Zhou raised her miscarriage child into a ghost, so she had the ability to see ghosts.
I just remembered that the baby's head just now was called Aunt Zhou. No wonder Mrs. Zhou would be like that, this is someone else's child, in order to save me from turning into ashes, it's strange that she can give me a good face.
Coming out of the urban village, Zheng Zhilong and I breathed a sigh of relief, everything we saw in Zhou Shenpo was really terrifying and gloomy, but fortunately, the scorched black palm print on my arm was cured, and I didn't have to worry about my life anymore.
"Why don't you find a place to have a drink?" Zheng Zhilong proposed.
I couldn't help but think of the last time I was drunk and massaged by a female corpse, and quickly shook my head and said, "Forget it, there are so many things, I don't have that mind." ”
When I got back to the rental house, I washed up and fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already dark. After waking up, I deliberately checked my arm and made sure that it was okay, so I had breakfast and rushed to work at the funeral home.
There's no way, if you don't go to work, you can't afford to pay the rent next month, so you won't sleep on the street, right? Man lives to eat.
The funeral home is very busy, and without me as the chief mortuary, the work is a bit backlogged, otherwise the leaders of the funeral home would not urge me to come back to work.
One morning, I was so busy that I didn't even have time to drink saliva, and finally it was time for the noon break to have a chance to catch my breath and drink tea.
This can't be, Sasha is dead, and her phone is burned along with the corpse, how can it be possible to call?
Just when I was staring at the phone screen, the phone vibrated again, and the caller ID was still Sasha's name, I was so frightened that I quickly hung up the phone, and was just about to stuff it into the drawer, when a message popped up on the screen: "Ji Zang, you don't answer my phone, right?" Okay, don't think about touching the old lady's finger again in the future, you just wait to sleep on the floor at night! ”
it! You've become a ghost, who's going to touch you and sleep with you?
I wanted to make a phone call to the police and let the police track the phone signal, but when I thought of the things I encountered in the criminal police team in the past few days, I finally dispelled this idea - the police are helpless, and there is a use in calling the police?
When I was working in the afternoon, I kept wandering, but fortunately nothing went wrong, and when it was time to get off work, I couldn't help but worry, for fear that I would meet Sasha again when I returned to the rental house, so I pulled Zheng Zhilong and asked him to accompany me back.
After listening to the situation, Zheng Zhilong suggested that I simply take two sets of clothes and go directly to live with him, and wait until everything is settled.
This is a good suggestion, the two of us rushed to the rental house, and I was just about to take out the key to open the door, when a woman's voice suddenly came from the building behind me: "Which of you two is Ji Zang?" ”
Zheng Zhilong and I turned our heads together, and we saw a young girl dressed in foreign clothes and wearing sunglasses standing on the stairs, looking at us.
"I am, who are you?"
The girl took two steps and came to me, reached out and took off her sunglasses, revealing a pretty face.
When I saw that pretty face, I was so frightened that I almost lost my soul - this was obviously the face of the female corpse, I had seen it several times, and I would never admit it.
