CHAPTER XLIV

He looked at me, smiled, and walked away without a care. However, he didn't care, others cared very much, and those female ghosts mocked me angrily, saying that I didn't get anything for nothing, I was a white eater, and I would definitely suffer retribution in the future. Phew, I ate a rabbit leg, what retribution? I think it is you who will be punished, but you are killing in broad daylight.

Just then, a thunderclap rushed into my eardrums.

I shuddered with fear, and the bones in my hands couldn't help but slip to the ground.

However, why is it so quiet around, the sun in the sky is scorching the earth, and it is clearly not like thunder.

I looked up and saw that the group of female ghosts suddenly became dignified, standing neatly one by one, and they didn't look like they had just got.

The little female ghost said tremblingly: "Is he here again?" ”

Who's coming? I looked around, and there was not a single ghost in sight except for the broken walls.

However, the group of female ghosts seemed to have seen something, and on a hot day, they were drenched in sweat.

The sweat should be cold sweat, because there are goosebumps on it that stand out.

It seems that they should be seeing things they don't want to see.

In an instant, my goosebumps rose.

Because I can't see it, it's even more scary.

Just when the female ghosts were so frightened that they hugged each other, and I was trembling and sweating coldly, Donglin spread his blanket on the stone, and patiently pulled out the grass around him, looking like he was ready to sleep. Xiao Jiu found a new pleasure and skinned the snake in the tank. The god stick is holding the little turtle and telling a story.

This atmosphere, no matter how you look at it, how it doesn't match.

I was frightened for a quarter of an hour, and thought it was too boring, so I roasted the skinned snake over the fire.

The aroma came out quickly, and I forgot that I had just eaten a roast rabbit leg.

In line with the principle of respecting the master, I want to divide the roasted snake to a few female ghosts, so that they can see, what is called repaying grievances with virtue, what is ignoring past suspicions, what is gentlemanly demeanor, what should you do most is to be ashamed of yourself.

However, to my surprise, they stared blankly one by one, like conjoined babies, and they did not separate at all, and the whole two pillars of incense were creating a terrifying atmosphere.

Please, although you are in the play, but the audience is gone, you are still so involved, it's really funny.

By the time of the third incense, they had finally eased up like hibernating snakes.

But the spirit is much worse than it was just now.

I understand them, they have been in the cold palace for a long time, who is not a little neurotic, but they are embarrassed to come out to meet people when they are normal.

In line with the principle of non-interference and non-invasion of other people's privacy, I did not ask them what the "he" they were afraid of was.

Well, I'll admit, I don't like to listen to ghost stories, especially immersive ones.

But even though I didn't want to hear it, the sound came to my eardrums.

It's all to blame Donglin, what are you doing sitting so close to them, making them so eager to confide.

From their mouths, I learned that every month when this drum sounds, there will be one less person in the cold palace at night, and there will be no dead or dead corpses, which is really scary and weird.

I wondered: "This is one less per month, and the people in the cold palace are not extinct, which is not scientific." ”

The group of female ghosts was very angry: "The people in the cold palace are all extinct, how can there be one less every month in the future?" ”

I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out the logical relationship between it, but Donglin gave an explanation: "Every month, there are criminals in each palace who are punished into the cold palace, so one less and one more, the total amount is generally unchanged." ”

It dawned on me that the one that was missing every month was just to ensure the balance of the total amount and keep the ecology of the cold palace from being too bad.

Of course, I can't say that, because if I do, they will strip me of my clothes.

Not only did I wonder, but Xiao Jiu also wondered.

He said: "What is the pattern of this little one, is it too ugly, and life is too sloppy, so that some people can't see it, so they are easy to extinguish." ”

These words finally aroused the anger of the public, and the group of female ghosts didn't care how jade the jade tree looked in Xiao Jiu, they endured it and endured it, and finally someone scolded: "Look at you look like a human, why do you talk so unpleasantly, our sisters don't see people alive or dead, and we don't know which one is chosen at night, how can it become a pest in your mouth." ”

Xiao Jiu shrugged innocently, saying that he didn't mean that.

These words finally calmed down the female ghosts, and their favorability towards Xiao Jiu increased a little bit.

But a man does not die without doing it.

Xiao Jiu, the one who died, added another sentence, lest he die not fast enough.

He said: "I mean, we have figured out the law of selecting people, so that we can prevent innocent and kind people from being chosen, and those wicked people who bully others, especially those wicked people who like her, but she pretends to be deaf and dumb, how can she be chosen?" ”

The female ghosts thought deeply and nodded one after another.

While there was still half a day to go, all the female ghosts went to arrange their own funeral.

Some people leave their last words, some people leave relics, some kneel and pray to the heavens, some people cry and kneel and beg the earth, but there is one very special, she is in a daze under the sun, without saying a word.

I asked her what she was thinking, and she said, "I'm thinking about the vastness of heaven and earth, the insignificance of human beings, what joy is in life, and what is the fear of death?" ”

Suddenly, I was in awe, such a philosopher, it is rare to see it in the world!

However, before my admiration could sublimate, another sentence of hers completely shattered my view of the philosophers of the world.

She said: "It is precisely because of the vastness of the world and the insignificance of human beings that people have to form a group and help each other, this Ding Qianqian girl, are you willing to help me for the continuation of human beings and the survival of true love in the world, if I am unfortunately chosen, can you go instead of me?" ”

Die!

Do I look that much like a silly hat?

Xiao Jiu was puzzled by one thing, and he asked the god stick: "Didn't you say that people will be taken away at night, what were they so afraid of just now?" ”

The god stick actually replied: "This person's fear comes from the heart, and the sound of the drum during the day is the source of fear, and it is this source of stimulation that causes extreme insecurity in the heart, and the greatest manifestation of insecurity is inferiority, self-abandonment, and then the manifestation of fear." ”

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment and said, "I just asked casually, why did you answer so seriously, really." ”

The god stick was also stunned for a moment, and said, "I just want to show that I am educated, that's all." ”

These two people are really boring.

Donglin said: "I asked them just now, every month when the moon is full, this drumming will appear, and then one person will disappear at night, even if the defense is tight, when you wake up the next day, there will still be people missing." ”

The god stick also thought about it and asked him, "Do you think there are demons in this or is someone playing tricks?" ”

Donglin replied: "It's not certain yet, but one thing is certain, the queen is in danger." ”

I am very puzzled, how can this matter be related to the queen, is it possible that the queen was selected as soon as she came, this hit rate is really high enough.

Shen Stick sighed: "This palace is really cannibalism, she has come to this point, those people still don't plan to let go, I don't know if it's better to say that they are persistent or ruthless?" ”

Donglin nodded: "Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, they know this well, and it is also a good strategy to put people to death through the legend of the haunted cold palace." ”

I was a little confused, and I was embarrassed to ask, but someone just wouldn't let me go.

Donglin said to me: "Ding Qianqian, I have to rely on you this time, you can prepare." ”

Am I ready? I'm going to make a hair?

Donglin explained: "In the past, the haunting was the night of the full moon every month, but today is the ninth day of the first lunar month, and what is even more coincidental is that the queen just arrived last night, what do you think this ghost wants to do?" ”

I thought for a long time and said, "Could it be that this ghost is in advance because of personal reasons, such as personal hobbies or whims?" ”
