Chapter 27: Lu 8
Dry Fish's hand had already touched Xu Ran's face, and the nails were mixed with blood and mud, and he was about to give him a caressing.
The ghost walked, and the mud flowed all over the ground.
It was as if they had been immobilized, and they stopped standing still.
Xu Ran was busy and relieved before his old eyes fainted.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, something fell heavily on his back.
"Li Wuyuan ......"
Xu Ran's face turned red, he didn't have much strength, he couldn't move yet, and there was another person hanging on his body, how much he had to suffer.
Li Wuyuan also seemed to feel that he should be considerate, and his head shrank into the neckline, turning into a white cat.
She grabbed her clothes and hung them on Xu Ran's arms, then squatted around his shoulders.
"Hey...... There are trees next to ......"
Xu Ran seemed to have green tendons beating on his forehead.
Li Wuyuan: "I'm tired and can't jump." ”
She licked her paws, then rubbed her hairy head against his ear.
Xu Ran couldn't complain, and with the ghost passing by, he couldn't speak.
The occasional chirping of insects pierced through the trees, and the evening breeze passed through the mass graves, blowing among the strange crowd of people and corpses.
At dawn, all the surrounding droughts disappeared into thin air.
Xu Ran was confused, and he opened and closed his eyes for a long time before he realized that he could already act.
The white cat slept peacefully on his shoulder.
He hugged the cat and patted Zhang Siyang who was crooked on the ground, Lao Dao shook violently, opened his eyes, and looked stunned.
“…… Gone? ”
Xu Ran lifted his trouser leg with one hand and sat down on the spot tiredly.
"It's gone."
Zhang Siyang looked at the twilight above his head, and only felt a little dizzy.
After looking for four or five days without a whereabouts, all of them appeared at the same time last night, and their temperament changed greatly, and finally disappeared in unison at dawn.
Is all this really just a coincidence?
He buried his head and calmed down for a while, glancing at the cat in Xu Ran's arms.
"That girl ......"
Instead of denying it, Xu Ran nodded carelessly.
Zhang Siyang looked at his expression, didn't ask, only said in a muffled voice: "You kid has a big heart." ”
Xu Ran smiled weakly.
Zhang Siyang looked at the well and said, "This girl thinks it's okay to hide under the well, hmph, see if Lao Tzu doesn't burn her nest." ”
"Lao Zhang," Xu Ran pressed him a little helplessly, "Don't you want to know what happened between her and Mr. Wang?" ”
Zhang Siyang: "I think, just ask her no!" ”
Xu Ran shook his head: "I don't think this matter is that simple, let's go back and investigate it first." ”
Zhang Siyang: "There's nothing to investigate, you look at the village chief's virtue, you can't ask anything, it's better to ask Liu Xiaoping directly." ”
Xu Ran closed his eyes tiredly.
"Then you'll have to give us a break."
When Zhang Siyang heard this, he paused for a while, and his tone was rare and serious: "Boy, you can help me get here It's already benevolent and righteous, my old Zhang remembers." But the first seven have passed, and Lao Wang has not yet entered the ground, so I can't swallow this breath. ”
He patted Xu Ran on the shoulder and continued: "You two go back, I'll go down by myself, otherwise I won't be able to bear it when it gets dark and there will be another bunch of zongzi." ”
"Actually, I'm not just helping you," Xu Ran pondered for a moment and said.
"Something has happened recently that strikes me as a little strange. As I said, Mr. Wang's death is most likely related to our visit to Banpo Village, so I won't let you go into danger alone. ”
Zhang Siyang was stunned by his serious tone and attitude, and then smiled: "I can't wait." ”
Xu Ran looked at the cat in his arms and said, "Let's go before dark, don't worry." ”
The three of them didn't have time to recuperate. Zhang Siyang went back to Wang's house, Qi Lei didn't wake up after being knocked unconscious, so he had to drag the kid to the bed and lie down.
Wang Shanghuai's coffin was still placed in the center of the house, Zhang Siyang changed the candles, cleaned up the broken copper and iron on the ground, lit a dry tobacco, and sat at the door and smoked one after another.
The smoke rose on the gloomy sky, and in a trance, a person shook in at the gate of the courtyard.
Zhang Siyang narrowed his eyes.
I didn't see the sun all day, and at dusk, Zhang Siyang took enough of the guys and rushed to the cemetery.
"What's the matter? Did you find anything? ”
As soon as he arrived at the dry well, he saw Li Wuyuan and Xu Ran sitting by the well.
Li Wuyuan had already regained her human form, holding a roasted sweet potato in her hand, she was eating the sweet potato with a blank face, and she looked at Zhang Siyang who walked over.
Xu Ran shook his head: "There is no movement." ”
Zhang Siyang: "It seems that I really have to go down." ”
So saying, he unloaded a bundle of hemp rope and threw it on the ground, and found a strong tree, and tied one end of the rope to the trunk.
"Lao Zhang, how sure are you?" Xu Ran quietly watched him busy.
Zhang Siyang stopped the movement of his hand and said, "I told you that Lao Wang's ability is far above me, but when Liu Xiaoping came to the door, he was not her opponent at all, so you can weigh it yourself." ”
His so-called "weighing and weighing" is, of course, to let Xu Ran think about it again and consider whether to continue wading into this troubled water.
Xu Ran lowered his head and smiled, then took out a tissue to wipe the sweet potato residue from the corner of his mouth for Li Wuyuan, and said meaningfully: "Since we have come to this point, how can we do it without checking?" ”
Zhang Siyang ignored him, straightened the rope and walked to the dry well, and said, "I'll go down first, you two are free." ”
He wrapped hemp rope around his waist a few times and fell down against the mouth of the well.
Li Wuyuan burped a little, threw the sweet potato skin, squatted at the mouth of the well and watched for a while, and jumped straight in.
Xu Ran's heart beat wildly, and she realized that jumping into a well with her ability was not a problem at all.
At the bottom of the well, you can't see your fingers, and the little light leaking from the wellhead has no effect at all. Zhang Siyang turned on the flashlight, and the strong light probed into the depth of the dry well only two or three meters, and was cut off by the darkness.
Xu Ran was the last to land, and as soon as the soles of his feet touched the ground, there was the sound of dead leaves breaking. It looks like the well has been dry for a long time.
"Dead cat?"
He subconsciously looked for Li Wuyuan.
In the next second, a warm hand grabbed his fingers.
Zhang Siyang despised him in a can't see clearly: "Can you fucking restrain a little, really think Lao Tzu is air." ”
Xu Ran grabbed Li Wuyuan's hand and cleared his throat.
"Habit."
Zhang Siyang didn't bother to pay attention to him, took out Luo Geng's plate from the cloth bag, and shone it with a flashlight while walking into the depths of the darkness.
Xu Ran and Li Wuyuan followed closely.
The cave was very dry, and the walls were crawling with all kinds of dead branches, and there was not the slightest sound of water. The temperature is very low, and the air is so cold that it pierces people's skin.
After walking for a while, Zhang Siyang glanced at the pointer in the center of the compass, his eyes followed it for several rounds, and said in a drowsy voice: "It seems to be almost there." ”
Xu Ran only felt that the back of his neck was terribly cold, as if he was wrapped in cold air.
He took two steps and said without looking back: "Don't touch your hands." ”
Li Wuyuan did not respond.
There is still a slight touch on the waist from time to time.
Xu Ran turned his head and was about to speak, but saw Li Wuyuan holding one hand by him and the other hand in his pocket.
He chuckled in his heart, and as soon as he lowered his head, he was dragged out hard before he could see what was on his waist.
"!"
Xu Ran's body slammed into the wall, and he suddenly felt a fishy sweetness in his throat.
Zhang Siyang turned his head and saw Li Wuyuan rushing up to save people, shouting, "Wait! ”
But Li Wuyuan would listen to him.
The dead branches that stretched out in all directions wrapped around Li Wuyuan's legs like a spiritual snake, and she struggled silently twice, when she suddenly heard a strange laugh from far and near.
The laughter wasn't a loud laugh, it was familiar.
Liu Xiaoping.
Zhang Siyang bit the flashlight, freed his hands, clasped his ten fingers, and turned out various tricks. I saw dozens of swishing sounds, and the spirit runes flew all over the hole one after another.
Zhang Siyang was about to line up, when a white figure rushed in front of him, and a grimace that seemed to be covered in blood and flesh came into his eyes.
The flashlight fell to the ground, he gasped suddenly, his arm flipped over, took the peachwood sword on his back and stabbed it up, unexpectedly it should have been a solid stab, but it seemed to be in the air.
Zhang Siyang looked up, and Liu Xiaoping in front of him instantly disappeared like haze.
He was stunned, Li Wuyuan broke the vine, jumped onto the wall, and cut off the restraints on Xu Ran's body.
"Liu Xiaoping! I know you're still here! Zhang Siyang held his sword and shouted into the air.
"Lao Tzu doesn't care what level of ghost you are, if you don't come out and make it clear today, Lao Tzu will burn your lair and break the net with you!"
Xu Ran clutched his chest and looked at the empty surroundings, as if the sudden attack just now was just an illusion.
Zhang Siyang: "If you don't come out, okay, even if Lao Tzu confesses here today, if you fucking kill good people, Lord Hades won't let you go easily!" ”
Xu Ran heard the words and asked him, "Lao Zhang, do you know anything?" ”
Zhang Siyang didn't have time to deal with him.
"Damn, you were wronged by your own mother-in-law, and you ran to the well yourself, why did you spill your anger on my brother! If you want to find it, you should find the dead old woman! ”
Zhang Siyang talked at the top of his throat for a long time, and finally shouted that he was tired and stopped for a moment, and at this time, there was a sudden cry around him.
The cry was intermittent, high and low, and when you listened closely, it seemed to be laughing, sometimes sad and sorrowful, sometimes crazy and stupid, and it reverberated at the bottom of the whole well, which was so strange that it was so strange.
"Damn......" Zhang Siyang scolded in a hateful whisper.
Xu Ran looked at the empty roof of the cave and walked to Zhang Siyang's side.
"You tell everything about it, of course, it's better to add fuel and vinegar, and she'll definitely show up."
Zhang Siyang listened to it and said in his heart:
"Your man came to me today, and he told me that Lao Wang helped him before his death, so he came here to pay respects."
The muscles on Zhang Siyang's face tensed, and his eyes burned.
"You should have asked your mother-in-law for her life, am I right?"
Suddenly, the crying stopped.
