Chapter 40: The Dead Body's Words

The three of them looked at each other, as if the old water ghost didn't expect the movement outside to disappear so quickly.

He frowned and looked at the door.

At this time, the door was calm, but it was in this quiet environment that the vision and hearing were infinitely amplified, and a familiar dripping sound made the hairs on my and Tong Xiaomeng's bodies explode.

"She's here!"

Tong Xiaomeng's face turned white as soon as she "swished", and just wanted to stand up, I reached out and grabbed her, shook my head at her, and then set my eyes on the old water ghost.

At this time, no one except him knew what would be standing outside.

The old water ghost's face changed instantly, and it lasted for a while, but fortunately, he regained his calm.

He picked up the black whip on the table, got around, and walked towards the door.

Then, without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and opened the door.

At this time, it was already dark outside, there were no street lights in the countryside, and there was no light in the yard, we sat in the house, and could only see a dark figure, standing upright in front of the threshold at the moment, most of the face was covered by the old water ghost, but it could already be seen that this person was Chen Tao who was robbing outside the door!

Seeing this, Tong Xiaomeng and I glanced at each other, and then Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but then, a creepy picture appeared.

"I'm looking for you."

Chen Tao spoke.

But when he spoke, he seemed to have something in his mouth, squeaked and whined, and he couldn't hear clearly.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, a strong fishy smell wafted in from outside the door along the night wind, and the stench was so foul that it was like rotten fish and shrimp that had been dead for a long time piled up together, making people frown.

Tong Xiaomeng didn't react much, but this smell reminded me of a familiar scene, and my heart was excited, and the whole person sat there, but I didn't dare to move.

The old water ghost stood at the door, staring at Chen Tao for a long time without speaking, and waited for a long time before he took a deep breath and said: "Tiger poison does not eat children, you didn't even let go of your own son today, it seems that the evil qi on your body can no longer fade." ”

"Chen Tao ......"

Tong Xiaomeng grabbed my hand violently, her eyes widened, and she stared at the scene at the door with a shocked expression.

As Chen Tao spoke, he heard a ticking sound, not like rain falling to the ground, but like something else, I couldn't help but turn my head sideways and glance at the door, but at this glance, the blood on my body was cold.

Chen Tao, or Chen Tao, on the surface, is no different from before.

But what was horrible was that this man's face was so white that it was no different from the dead bodies in the yard that had been fished out of the river, his eyes were wide open, his tongue was turned out, his nose and ears were full of fishy river mud, and his mouth was constantly flowing with mud and sand as he spoke, all of them fell to the ground.

Who grew up by the river doesn't know how a living person can have river mud in their mouths, and only the corpses drowned in the river will look like this.

Chen Tao is dead?

I was stunned, I thought that Chen Tao's filial piety should be a sure thing to cross the evil qi on his father's corpse, but I didn't expect that the death in this river would be so powerful, even his own son was not spared, but in the blink of an eye, his own son became the same divine curse as himself.

But since he killed Chen Tao, why did he come to the old water ghost?

I remembered what the old water ghost told me before, if Chen Tao couldn't successfully cross this corpse tonight, then none of the three people in the room would see the sun tomorrow.

At this time, I said that I was not afraid that it would be to lie to my grandson, but seeing that Tong Xiaomeng no longer had blood-colored cheeks, I couldn't help but tremble, clenched her palm, and whispered: "There is an old water ghost, it's okay." ”

The old water ghost was silent for a moment, and then said, "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

"Huang He Niangniang, let me bring you a message."

Chen Tao had sand in his mouth, his speech was slurred, and he muttered: "Niangniang said that today is the day of her wedding with the Bai family boy, and I hope that the old water ghost will not participate, otherwise the water of the Yellow River will rise to the riverbank, and it will not only be Shanxia Village that will be submerged." ”

I saw the back of the old water ghost trembling at this time, and whispered: "Does the Yellow River Niangniang really plan to make this kind of behavior of thousands of innocent people to be buried for her own selfish interests, isn't she afraid of the Dragon King of the Yellow River and the coming of heaven?!" ”

Chen Tao shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, the Yellow River Niangniang asked my father to ask me to bring you a message, and there is still an hour before the Niangniang will go ashore to marry, the old water ghost still wants to think about how to explain his life." ”

Chen Tao spoke, and his head fell to the ground with a flutter, and the old water ghost hurriedly bent down to help him up, then turned his head to me and said, "Help, carry him into the jade coffin!" ”

The old water ghost and I carried Chen Tao's body into the jade coffin, and in the process of carrying it, I found that Chen Tao was not dead yet, but I could feel that he was angry at this time, and the breath of life was not far from death.

After putting Chen Tao into the coffin, the old water ghost grabbed his wrist, dragged it to his mouth, opened his mouth and bit it directly at his wrist, before I could react, gurgling blood flowed out along his teeth, and then threw his hand, blood flowed on the jade, and the whole coffin seemed to come alive.

Wisps of white cold air are pervasive in the jade coffin, quickly diffuse in the jade coffin, I can still feel the cold contained in this white gas when I stand outside, and after a while, the coffin will be shrouded in this cold air, and Chen Tao's body will not be visible.

All these changes have changed, I don't have time to react, and when I turn my head to look at the old water ghost, I see that he seems to be ten years old in an instant, and it is difficult to see more light in his cloudy eyes, and he looks into the coffin in confusion, and after a long time, he sighs faintly.

Seeing that the old water ghost's legs began to swing, I hurriedly helped him back to the chair and sat down, poured him a cup of tea, and poured the tea into his mouth, and the old water ghost's expression began to slowly recover.

"Huang Heniang still stayed...... Otherwise, I would have confessed my old bones to the door a long time ago, and I wouldn't be able to drink another bowl of tea soup......"

Seeing the old water ghost's tone, I frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Chen Tao is not dead?" ”

The old water ghost nodded: "He should have died, after all, Chen Tao's father has become the person of the Yellow River Niangniang, and if you want to kill him, or even kill me, it is just a matter of effort." ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Then why did the Yellow River Niangniang let us go?" ”

"Put?" The old water ghost glanced at it, and said with a smile: "She doesn't want to show her bloody and murderous side in front of her future husband, if it is the day of your two weddings tonight, with my current behavior of offending the demonic power of the Yellow River Niangniang, I am afraid that ten lives will not be enough to die here." ”

After listening to this, I was even more puzzled: "In that case, then why are you so sure that you can dispose of the Yellow River Niangniang before?" ”

The old ghost shook his head: "It's also the first time I've dealt with the Yellow River Niangniang so positively, I didn't expect her strength to be so terrifying, even the Yellow River King didn't dare to let the water of the Yellow River flood the village at will, but she was so fearless, she must have a bargaining chip in her hand to deal with it afterwards, otherwise no matter how much she likes you, it is impossible to do such an offensive thing." ”

"Hey, like me?" I looked at the old water ghost in a daze, not quite understanding what he meant.

The old water ghost looked at me and said, "Before you left here, except for the matter of the jade corpse at the mouth of the two rivers, didn't you have a similar experience?" ”

I don't understand why he asked this suddenly, and just wanted to shake his head to veto, but suddenly thought of a familiar back.

The female corpse who once saved me at the mouth of the Erdao River!

Even the jade pendant I am wearing now was given to me by her, and her back is very close to the red-robed female corpse in the Yellow River.

As soon as my head flickered, a bold idea appeared in my mind, and I immediately became acute, and told the old water ghost about the female corpse as it was.

The old water ghost raised his eyebrows after hearing this, stared at me with wide eyes, grabbed my neckline, and then suddenly reached in with his other hand and tore off the jade pendant on his neck, looked at it twice, and then laughed: "I know, I know, I know everything!" ”
