Chapter 4: The Death Mantra
I looked at the back, and I felt my scalp tingle, because this back was too familiar to me, who would it be if it wasn't Xiuli, my lips trembled several times, and I wanted to call out her name, but it was like a fish in my throat,
"Titicaca."
The figure was holding her hands up, and her body was shaking, but as if she sensed someone behind her, she suddenly stopped, her neck clicked, and then she turned her head violently towards me.
When I saw her cheeks, which had clearly begun to fester, her legs went limp.
"Titicaca." Her purple lips moved a few times, and I noticed that there was some blackened blood on the corners of her mouth.
My eyes immediately looked towards the black coffin behind Liu Xiuli, and in the coffin was Liu Xiuli's stepfather Zhao Long!
It's just that Zhao Long's arm has been blurred by the bitten flesh.
"Hehehe, little rhino, you're here, this is delicious." Liu Xiuli's mouth was bloodstained, and her purple lips smiled at me, that smile was very crazy, and it was no longer the kind and gentle beauty I remembered.
She walked towards me step by step, and I realized that there was still a little shadow of her faintly appearing on the ground, she was not a ghost? Don't they all say that ghosts have no shadows?
"Li, Lili, you, you scare me, I, I'm scared." I stumbled, and my already limp feet couldn't help but move half a step behind me.
"Afraid? Then come with me, come with me, and if we are companions, no one will have to be afraid. Her voice suddenly raised several pitches, and then she rushed towards me.
It was so fast that I didn't even have time to react.
"Ahhhh
I thought that my neck would be choked by Liu Xiuli in the next second, but I didn't expect Liu Xiuli's hysterical shouts to come from my ears.
When I opened my eyes again, I found that Liu Xiuli's longevity robe was wet, and my grandmother carried a bucket and dragged me behind her.
"Since you help them (her), then I will kill you together." Liu Xiuli's eyes revealed a murderous aura, and her grandmother raised the bucket again and threw it at her, but she sensitively avoided it.
And the body shook and disappeared without a trace.
"Didn't you stay at home well, why are you so disobedient." Grandma glared at me and scolded.
"Grandma, what the hell is going on, why does Lili even want to harm me, is her death related to Zhao Long?" I looked at my grandmother anxiously and asked.
Grandma's eyes were looking around, there was no movement around, and grandma didn't pay attention to me as soon as I put the bucket in my hand, and immediately opened her mouth and bit her fingers.
The crimson blood spilled out of my grandmother's fingers, and I heard the sound of the mouth chirping in the darkness, and it was so close to me that it seemed to be above my head.
Before I could react, my grandmother raised her hand and pushed me back, and I stumbled and fell directly to the ground.
And Liu Xiuli had already pounced on her grandmother at the moment, and she didn't know what she was muttering in her mouth, and finally suddenly raised her hand and waved, I saw that there were black threads on her hands constantly flying, and in just a few seconds, Liu Xiuli was already tied up with black threads.
She screamed, and smoke began to rise from her body.
"Dust to dust, let go of knots, let go of hatred, and go where you belong." Grandma dragged the end of the black rope with one hand, pinched her fingers with the other, and looked at Liu Xiuli who was already smoking and screaming in pain.
"Don't think about it, I'm going to kill her, I'm going to kill her!" Liu Xiuli roared hysterically.
"Then don't blame me for destroying your body, destroying your soul, and making you immortal." Grandma's eyes also changed, and she raised her hand to pull the rope hard.
Eternal life? I muttered a sentence silently, almost out of instinct, and stood up directly and threw myself at Liu Xiuli.
Grandma saw me suddenly pounce over, and instantly loosened the rope, Liu Xiuli also took this opportunity to break free of the rope, directly grabbed grandma's arm, and threw grandma on the black coffin.
With a "bang", grandma fell to the ground, and then her body bowed, and she spit out a mouthful of black blood.
"Grandma!" I screamed and wanted to go over to help my grandmother, but Liu Xiuli grabbed my neck with a hand.
The rotten and pale face also leaned towards my neck, I looked at her, my heart was terrified, but thinking of the current situation, I gritted my teeth and shouted at Liu Xiuli: "Lili, if you want to kill, kill me, my grandma is innocent." ”
"Hehehe, innocent?" Liu Xiuli suddenly laughed, because the corners of her mouth were tugging at the skin of her face, and the already somewhat rotten skin actually cracked and pus flowed out: "Your grandma not only didn't help me, but also united with those two beasts to harm me, today I will kill you, let your grandma also know, what is heartache, what is sad!" ”
Liu Xiuli raised her hand as soon as she said that, and long nails quickly grew out from her fingers, and my eyes widened in astonishment, thinking that I would die in the next second.
But who knows, this Liu Xiuli's nails just cut through my neck, and she began to scream heartbreakingly.
There was a white light on my body, and there was a sound in my ears that looked like a monk chanting, Liu Xiuli convulsed painfully and fell to the ground, constantly spitting things out of her mouth.
The puddle of spit out was none other than maggots.
"Don't read it anymore, don't read it again." Seeing Liu Xiuli's body quickly dry up like a deflated balloon, I hurriedly screamed.
However, the sound of chanting continued.
I simply squatted down and hugged Liu Xiuli, and yelled at the person I couldn't see: "If you dare to hurt her, I will never forgive you!" ”
Although I didn't see the man's face, I vaguely felt that he was the monk with whom I had begotten a close relationship.
As soon as these words came out, the voice slowly stopped, and Liu Xiuli in my arms was already withered, and the speed of corruption on her face intensified, but her eyes were no longer scarlet.
She looked at me, tears welling up in her eyes: "Little rhino, I'm sorry. ”
"Lili, I know, you didn't fall into the water, it was Zhao Long who hurt you, right?" I asked as I hugged her and choked up.
Her lips twitched: "If it's really Zhao Long, it's fine, but right?" ”
"Oh, Granny Mei, quick, take the opportunity to kill her, kill her."
At this time, Liu Xuelian suddenly rushed in, covered her chest with one hand, and pointed at Liu Xiuli in my arms with the other and shouted loudly.
Grandma had already stood up with the coffin, watched Liu Xuelian shake her head, and said with a heavy face: "If it weren't for the fact that you are pregnant, I wouldn't have helped you at all." ”
After my grandmother finished speaking, she walked over to me and Liu Xiuli, Liu Xiuli glanced at her mother, and then her body sank and stopped moving.
"Lili, Lili?" I cried out, and though I knew she was dead at first, she now seemed to be dead in my arms, and she stopped moving no matter how much I screamed.
"Don't call Xiao Xi, her soul is already on the way, the mage just recited the mantra of the afterlife, give Lili a superordinate, in the next life she will vote for a good family, don't be sad." Grandma said and looked at Liu Xuelian: "After a while, you will immediately send the two corpses to be cremated, don't delay." ”
"Well, thank you Granny Mei, it's just that Long Da is going to stop his spirit for three days, and it is not in line with the rules to be cremated immediately." Liu Xuelian was still thinking about Long Da at this time, and I felt sad for Liu Xiuli when I heard it.
"Then in case the corpse changes, don't come to me." Grandma was obviously dissatisfied with this Liu Xuelian, and as soon as Liu Xuelian heard this, she hurriedly showed weakness, saying that she immediately asked Zhao Long's uncles to pull the bodies of Liu Xiuli and Zhao Long to the funeral home in the town and burn them.
"Wait, can I change Lili's clothes?" I raised my head and looked at Liu Xuelian, and I didn't call her aunt anymore.
She was stunned for a moment, glanced at Liu Xiuli in my arms, and nodded.
Because, the shroud on Liu Xiuli's body was already covered with bloodstains, and there were traces of black lines popping up.
I gently put down Xiuli's corpse and turned around and walked towards Xiuli's room, Xiuli's room is in this backyard, there is not even a door, it is already early autumn, the wind is whistling in, I can't imagine how Xiuli usually sleeps.
The beautiful room was very simple, a worn-out wooden bed, and a crumbling wooden cabinet, and when I opened the cabinet, there were only a few thin clothes and patches, and I searched for a long time but did not find the peach-colored coat.
The coat was bought for her by her beautiful grandmother, and she liked it very much.
"Where's the beautiful coat, the pink one." I stood at the door of the room, looked at Liu Xuelian coldly and asked.
"That dress, so decent, it's a pity to wear it for the dead." Liu Xuelian replied without thinking about it.
"But that's Xiuli's favorite dress, if you don't put it on her, I'm afraid she'll come back and ask you again." I deliberately raised my voice to scare Liu Xuelian.
Her eyes widened when she heard this, and then she nodded desperately: "Okay, okay, okay, I, I'll get it for you, I'll get it for you." ”
After saying that, he held his stomach, turned around and went to the room in the front yard to get the pink coat and handed it to me, but when I took the coat, my body seemed to be hit by an electric current, and a clear picture immediately appeared in my mind.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
I saw Liu Xiuli walking into the hall from outside the gate with a tattered schoolbag on her back, wearing this peach-colored coat.
Yes, she sent me home that day, wearing this dress.
"Lili, are you back so early today? Come on, come over and have a few drinks with Dad. Zhao Long staggered to his feet, looked at Liu Xiuli's body obscenely, and finally stopped on Liu Xiuli's slightly bulging chest.
