Chapter 46: Shock
It didn't take long for the Lu family's father and daughter to also come to the backyard lobby.
They offered to keep a vigil together.
Lin Chu declined.
It would be enough to say that there are three of us here tonight.
If there are many people, it will do bad things.
When Lu Hua left, he told Lin Chu that more than a dozen family members in his house were all waiting at the door, and as long as they needed it, they could be dispatched at any time.
Lin Chu nodded, sent the father and daughter out of the backyard, and closed the courtyard door.
Then he returned to the lobby, always paying close attention to the moon lamp outside the skylight, the osmanthus oil lamp around the house, and the changes in Lu Lao's body.
Xu Minghao and Hu Lai still sat on the side alone, sprinkling ingredients into the charcoal fire from time to time.
The time went from eight o'clock in the evening to eleven o'clock in the evening.
Xu Minghao yawned so hard that his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them, and he almost fell to the ground several times.
Although Hu Lai was better than him, he was also sleepy.
Lin Chu patted Xu Minghao on the shoulder.
Xu Minghao suddenly woke up and looked around blankly.
Lin Chu said: "Don't let you eat so much in the evening, don't you believe it?" ”
Xu Minghao stretched his waist and defended himself: "I was tired from working in the fields all morning. ”
Lin Chu smiled helplessly: "I see that you are paddling all morning, right?" ”
Suddenly, Hu Lai shouted in surprise: "Brother, look, how did this glutinous rice turn black below?" ”
Xu Minghao immediately looked at the wooden bed and found that the glutinous rice pressed by Lu Lao's corpse had now turned blue-black.
Lin Chu said indifferently: "You two have been sitting at the head of the bed for a long time, and now you have only found out?" ”
Xu Minghao asked, "Cousin, what the hell is going on?" ”
Lin Chu explained: "When the glutinous rice turns black, it means that it has absorbed corpse qi. However, this is just the beginning, so only the thin layer of glutinous rice that came into contact with Lu Lao's body turned black. Only when at least half of the glutinous rice in this bed has turned black will we be considered done. ”
Xu Minghao suddenly looked desperate: "It's been four hours, and it's only a little darker, so when do we have to wait until all the corpse qi comes out?" ”
Lin Chu said: "Don't worry, as soon as midnight passes, the speed of corpse qi overflowing will be accelerated." ”
Sure enough, as he said, as soon as twelve o'clock passed, the speed at which the glutinous rice turned black increased greatly.
Soon the layer of glutinous rice on the surface of the wooden bed turned black.
Then it begins to blacken vertically downwards.
By three o'clock in the morning, the glutinous rice had already turned half black.
But at this moment, the wind suddenly started outside the house.
The flowers and trees in the yard swayed violently.
The two side doors in the lobby were blown open.
The oil lamps on the ground went out in an instant.
The worst thing is the moon lamp on the roof, which is crumbling by the wind.
"Minghao, Hu Lai, optimistic about Lu Lao!"
After Lin Chu handed over the bottom to the two, he walked out of the house against the wind, climbed onto the roof, and went to take back the moon lantern.
At this time, the moon lantern has long been blown out by the wind.
The wind still didn't stop, and looking at this posture, it looked like a heavy rain was coming.
Lin Chu prayed in his heart, but don't let it rain, otherwise he will lose all his efforts.
In the lobby downstairs, all the oil lamps have been blown out by the wind, and the light has become very dim, leaving only three pots of charcoal fire emitting a bright red light.
Hu Lai stood against the wind and shouted loudly to the opposite side: "Cousin, this can't work!" We've got to close the door! Don't let the wind blow away all the glutinous rice on the bed! ”
Xu Minghao blocked the direction of the wind with one hand, and responded loudly: "I think so too!" ”
The two hit it off and decided to close the door first.
They got up and closed the wooden doors.
But the door of this Chinese-style house needs a crossbar to close tightly, and it will be impossible to find where the crosswood is for a while.
Therefore, the two of them can only use their backs against the door panel, and use their bodies as temporary beams.
As soon as the doors closed, the room became even darker.
In the darkness, the three pots of red charcoal fire gradually turned blue-green, as if it was contaminated with something.
Xu Minghao looked at the three pots of charcoal fire that had changed color in surprise: "Hu Er, why do you see the color of that fire so weird?" ”
Before Hu Lai could speak, there was a banging knock on the door and Lin Chu's voice outside the house: "You two, open the door quickly." ”
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Chu saw that the color of the charcoal fire was wrong, and hurriedly rushed over and grabbed a large handful of cinnabar and wormwood and threw it in.
Only then did the color of the charcoal fire change from turquoise to crimson.
Lin Chu turned to the two: "Didn't you ask you not to interrupt the feeding into the fire?" The three pots of yang fire all turned into yin fire, and it almost went bad. ”
Xu Minghao pouted and whispered: "We closed the door because we were afraid that the wind would be too strong, and we would blow away all the glutinous rice on the bed." ”
"These glutinous rice are all contaminated with the smell of corpses, how can a mere gust of passing wind blow it?"
Lin Chu walked back to the door as he spoke, turned on the power switch, and the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and the darkness was swept away.
Xu Minghao and Hu Lai returned to the bedside.
"Cousin, it's really exactly the same as you said, these glutinous rice haven't moved at all, it seems that we are thinking too much."
"Huh!"
Hu Lai exclaimed, he opened his eyes and looked at the glutinous rice on the bed in surprise: "Why does it seem to be shallow?" ”
"What's getting shallower?" Lin Chu walked over and asked.
Hu Lai pointed to the vertical black and white dividing line of glutinous rice: "Before, this line was below the middle, but now it runs above the middle." ”
Lin Chu took a closer look, and it seemed that the glutinous rice that had been blackened by the corpse qi had indeed become less.
His brows furrowed suddenly, because it meant that the corpse qi that had been forced out of Lu Lao's body with great difficulty had been absorbed by his corpse again.
"Cousin! Look, the lights are out again! ”
Lin Chu looked up and saw that the moon lantern extinguished outside the skylight was slowly descending.
Odd! The wind has obviously stopped, why is the light still going out?
"You two must not run around, add ingredients to the fire."
After Lin Chu finished explaining, he walked out of the courtyard and climbed to the top of the building again to see what was going on.
He accidentally touched the thin copper wire, and suddenly his hand reflexively retracted as if he had been electrocuted.
Good ice!
This copper wire connecting the moon lantern and Lu Lao's corpse is not only a piercing ice, but also carries static electricity, and it is very unbearable to the touch.
Lin Chu's bad premonition gradually intensified.
So he hurriedly lit the candle in the moon lamp.
But as soon as it was lit, it went out.
This is true several times.
It seems that it is because of the permeable yin qi transmitted by the thin copper wire, so that the candle can no longer burn normally.
Just when Lin Chu couldn't hold a candle on the roof, the other two brothers in the room below also felt that something was wrong.
"Hu Er, do you feel as if it's suddenly getting cold?" Xu Minghao shook his arm and said.
Hu Lai did not respond.
Because at this time, he was bending over, looking at the glutinous rice on the bed in amazement, and he was fading black from the bottom to the top at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, as if it had been absorbed by a corpse.
Xu Minghao was still complaining while sprinkling ingredients into the fire: "You said that this old man is true, he will die if he dies, and he will cause so much trouble to his family." not only made trouble for his family, but also tossed our brothers enough. ”
Suddenly, there was a stir.
Because of his peripheral vision, he seemed to see the corpse's hand move slightly.
Xu Minghao stretched out his hand and pushed him suspiciously: "Hey, Hu Er, I told you so much, why didn't you react at all?" ”
Hu Lai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said extremely nervously and seriously: "I...... I think, old man, he ...... Came to life. ”
"What are you kidding! You see the old man, he is not lying in the ......."
Xu Minghao was suddenly stunned, because he turned his head as he spoke, and just in time to see that Lu Lao had opened his eyes, and two sharp fangs were showing at the corners of his mouth.
"In, in, in......"
Xu Minghao was like a tape jam, stuck on the last word of the sentence just now.
A fine cold sweat covered his forehead.
"Where ~ Where have I seen you ~ It seems to be in the spring breeze ~ ......"
He didn't know which tendon was short-circuited, and suddenly he started singing, slowly retreating as he sang.
Hu looked at the corpse with his eyes open, and he didn't dare to stride, and quietly moved his body in the direction of the door.
Suddenly! Lu Lao sat up straight from the bed.
"Ahh
"Help!"
Lin Chu heard two screams on the roof, and then saw Xu Minghao and Hu Lai rushing out of the courtyard in a panic below.
Looking down at the skylight, the wooden bed was empty.
"It's over!"
Lin Chu suddenly thundered in the sky.
The worst fears came true.
