Chapter 323: Questioning
When the lame man heard this, he asked me, "What do you want now?" ”
I looked at the two of them one by one, and said cautiously: "The female zombie in the dream told me that you took a book from her coffin, and I want that book!" ”
"What?"
As soon as I said this, the faces of the crippled man changed color at the same time, and the two looked at each other, and the lame man asked me tremblingly: "Little brother, what do you want that book for?" ”
I glanced at the crippled man, and the crippled man was actually full of horror, as if he was full of fear of the book, and I said calmly: "I don't do anything, I just heard the female zombie say that it is a strange book, and I want to take it and read it." ”
"See?" The lame man and his wife looked at each other, and the lame man said in horror: "Little brother, that's not a strange book, that's ...... It's an evil book, not for the living! ”
The lame man's voice fell, and the woman spoke on the side, "Little brother, don't listen to the female zombie, she told you that we took the book, and we must be trying to harm you." ”
Hearing this, I glanced at the cripple again and asked, "If you want to say that, the book is still in your hands, right?" ”
When the lame man heard this, he couldn't sit still a little, and asked me tremblingly: "Little brother, do you, do you really want that book?" ”
I nodded firmly, "I don't want anything but that book." ”
The cripple suddenly showed a sad face, and I glanced at him, and he didn't look like he was pretending to be at this time. The lame man then raised his hand and pointed at his own lame leg fiercely, "Little brother, look at it, look at my leg, just because I opened the evil book and took a look, it's lame!" ”
Really? I looked at the cripple again, judging from the expression on his face and the tone of his words, he was telling the truth at this time, and my heart trembled, what kind of book is this, so powerful?
The woman resignedly said, "Little brother, if you really want it, we, we can give it to you, but, but, you, you are the savior of our family, we don't want to harm you!" ”
I looked at the woman again, and she didn't say anything nonsense, and I couldn't help frowning.
Some people may see this and ask, why don't you say that the female zombie wants that book, why do you want to say that you want to read it? This can't be said like this, in case that book is a book of cultivation secrets, as soon as I say that the female zombie wants it, those two will definitely not give it, and they can't let the female zombie take the book to cultivate, and then come back to them for revenge.
In the face of the words of the lame couple, I pretended not to care, smiled at the two of them, and said: "Since it is an evil book, it is useless to keep it in your hands, you give it to me, and you don't have to worry about other things." ”
When the two of them heard this, they looked at each other again, and the lame man looked at me and said, "Little brother, if you really want that book, you can give it to you, but the book is not in our house now......"
When I heard this, I couldn't help frowning, and I was afraid that something would happen to me, so I hurriedly asked, "Then where is it now?" ”
The cripple hesitated for a moment, then replied, "It's ......"
As soon as the cripple spat out these two words, the door to the ghost son's room suddenly opened, and the three of us turned our heads at the same time to see that the girl had come out of the room.
The lame man looked at the girl and didn't care, and then said to me, "It's ...... west of our town."
At this time, my mind turned in circles, this girl, if she doesn't come out early or late, why is it so timely, has she been eavesdropping in the room just now, I thought about it again, if she knows where the book is, and I get the book first, then there will be nothing wrong with me, at that time, the antidote will not necessarily be given to me, if she puts forward other conditions to threaten me, then I will be planted at home.
I hurriedly raised my hand at the cripple, but didn't let him continue, the cripple was stunned, "Little brother, you are, this is ......"
I ignored the cripple and stared at the girl with sparkling eyes, like a wolf staring at a prey, and the cripple called out to me, "Little brother, little brother? ”
I stared at the girl and smirked, and asked the cripple stupidly, "Uncle, the chicken soup just now...... This sister boiled it, right? ”
The cripple suddenly looked dazed, and his mouth stammered, "Yes, yes......"
I still stared at the girl, and said stupidly: "This sister is not only beautiful, but the chicken soup is also so delicious......
The lame couple were dumbfounded when they saw me suddenly become like this. The girl ignored me and walked over to the woman on the sofa and said, "Auntie, my brother has finished eating the chicken, and he said he wants to sleep for a while." ”
The woman smiled dryly at the girl, nodded, and the girl sat down beside the woman.
Seeing this, my heart suddenly sank, grandma's, the old goblins in these two lives are really eavesdropping in the house, and they may not be able to hear clearly in the house, so they come out at this time to listen openly. The lame couple seems to really treat the girl as a family member, and they don't seem to hide anything from her.
My eyes sat down with the girl, still with beads in my eyes, staring at her, I was so explicit, a fool could see it, the woman looked at me, and then at the girl, her face looked bad, it was not good to me, so she had to say to the girl: "Xinxin, don't sit here, there is still a pile of work in the kitchen, you go and clean up." ”
When the girl heard this, she gave me a cold look, and the woman hurriedly urged her again: "Go quickly, go quickly." ”
The girl nodded, but looked a little unwilling, and walked away step by step.
I watched the girl leave until she slipped into the kitchen through the side door, and I kept staring at the side door.
The woman couldn't help but greet me, "Little brother, let's get down to business." I ignored her, still staring at the side door, stunned.
The woman called me again worriedly, "Little brother? Hey, little brother! ”
I hurriedly came back to my senses, "Ah", and asked the woman stupidly: "What's the matter, auntie, are you okay?" ”
The woman's face looked even more unsightly, and the whole person looked vigilant, the woman licked her lips and asked tentatively, "You, you just need that book, right?" ”
"Yes." I nodded hurriedly.
"You don't want anything else, do you?"
"Don't." I shook my head again, "Absolutely nothing else." ”
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's good if you don't want it, it's good if you don't want it......"
I glanced at the woman and smiled to myself. Ever since the last time a woman saw me entering the door from the outside with the girl, the woman had been on guard against me, for fear that I would do something to their daughter-in-law. At this time, looking at the woman's expression like a thief, I said to myself, if I don't use this method, how can you help me get rid of your good daughter-in-law. Also, if I'm here like this, you'd like to want us to leave your house sooner.
I then straightened my face, turned to the lame man, and said, "Uncle, where is the book, go on." ”
When the lame couple saw my sudden 180-degree turn, they couldn't help but glance at each other, looking helpless.
The lame man smiled at me, he didn't seem to care much about this daughter-in-law, he seemed more open-minded, maybe the family had money, what kind of daughter-in-law could his son marry, did he have to find someone to ask for food.
The cripple continued, "What about the book, in the mountains west of our town. ”
"In the mountains?"
The cripple nodded, "Yes, in a small cave in the mountains, in the past, there was a tomb, and the book was in the coffin of that tomb. ”
I immediately frowned, "Uncle, why did the book run away from the tomb?" ”
The cripple said: "I put it in with my own hands, originally, no one knew that there was a tomb there, and later, the dead people in the tomb became zombies, and as soon as it was dark, they came to our town to make trouble, and the people in the town invited a master, and the master said that it was a dead man in the mountain who turned into evil, and the master took people to find the tomb, and in a small cave, the master pressed something on the coffin lid of the zombie, and suppressed the zombies inside." ”
When the cripple said this, I interrupted him and asked, "Why did you put the book in the coffin when you were all calm?" ”
The cripple said: "The zombie in the mountain, it didn't happen now, it was when my grandfather was young, and now there are not many people who know, our ancestors are in the line of digging graves, where the tomb can't be digged, where the tomb is dangerous, the ancestors have explained, the tomb in the mountain, my father told me, saying that there is a powerful zombie sealed there, and you must not dig that tomb." The cripple paused, and then said, "After my leg was lame, I thought, I can't keep this book, and I'd better put the female zombie back in the coffin, but ...... At that time, it was twenty years ago, there was no road, it was all in the mountains, and the tomb of the female zombie was too far away from us, and my legs were just lame, and I couldn't climb the mountain and walk a long way, and then I thought, since this book was taken out of the zombie tomb, then I will find another zombie tomb and put it back, so I thought of the zombie tomb in the mountains to the west. ”
After the cripple finished speaking, I asked again: "Then aren't you afraid of destroying the contents on the coffin lid and releasing the zombies inside?" ”
The cripple said: "Didn't I say it, that zombie was my grandfather's childhood, twenty years ago, that tomb had been sealed for seventy or eighty years, so many years, the resentment of the zombies inside had long since dissipated." ”
I said, "So, after you put the book in the coffin, nothing happened?" ”
"No, there are no zombies inside, just a pile of bones and some rotten clothes, I took a few burial goods in the coffin and took them home......
"What?" As soon as I heard the last words of the lame man, I looked at him in amazement, this lame man is not afraid of another lame leg.
At this time, the cigarette in my hand had already been smoked, and the lame man handed me another one, and he did not smoke himself, so I lit the cigarette and asked, "Since that book is so evil, why did you put it back and destroy it?" ”
The lame man smiled bitterly, and the woman trembled and said, "I am lame at a glance, and if I destroy the book, I don't know what will happen!" ”
I nodded, and the woman said that it seemed to make some sense, and I said, "Then tell me now, the zombie tomb is exactly in the mountain, and I'll go and get the book back." ”
The lame man looked at me and asked worriedly, "Little brother, are you really going?" ”
I nodded and said with a resolute face: "I was born with a hard life, I just want to see if it is my life is hard or the book is hard!" ”
When the woman heard this, she sighed regretfully, "Little brother, why are you so ...... Alas, forget it......" said to the lame, "tell him where the zombie tomb in the West Hill is." ”
The lame man looked helpless, looked at me, and was about to open his mouth, but at this moment, I found that inside the side door leading to the kitchen, a figure flashed, and I quickly restrained the cripple, raised my hand and pointed to my ear.
The lame man was stunned for a moment, then realized, pressed his hands on the sofa, moved to my side little by little, leaned on my ear, and whispered......
After the cripple finished speaking, he explained to me very seriously, "Little brother, after you get the book, you have to be careful, I'm not scaring you, it's really an evil book!" ”
I nodded, glanced at the lame man, then at the woman, and said, "Don't worry, I have measure, but Daochang Chen and the three of them don't know about this matter, don't tell them." ”
The lame man nodded to the woman again and again, "Don't worry, since you have confessed, we will definitely not tell them." ”
At this point, the matter was basically over, but I was young at the time, and I couldn't help but be curious, and after glancing at the lame man's lame leg, I asked again: "Uncle, can you tell me what you saw when you opened the book, and how is this lame leg?" ”
When the cripple heard this, he looked at me and shook his head slowly.
I asked, "Didn't you see anything?" ”
The cripple shook his head again, and whispered in a serious voice: "I look at you, little brother, you won't die without looking at that book, and when you get the book, you will understand it at a glance yourself......"
