Chapter 25: The Farmhouse (Midnight Delivery)
"It's me, Miss Zhang." Hu Tao strode up to Xiaoyan and gently touched her face. "Someone who almost became your mom."
"Xiaoyan, you recognize her."
This is something I never expected.
"I ...... I've only seen it on photos. Xiaoyan looked at her in horror. A picture my dad showed me. β
"Photos? Did your dad ever have contact with Hu Tao? β
It's hard to guess, and every time there is a general inference, it is always extraordinary, but I can clearly feel that the truth is slowly approaching.
"Some time ago, my father showed me a photo, and he said he wanted to find me a stepmother." Xiaoyan saw Hu Tao approaching little by little, and she kept retreating into the corner. "I had a big fight with my dad because she looked so young."
"Hmph." Hu Tao smiled coldly. "Your dad is really wishful thinking."
"You...... How the hell did you confuse my dad! My dad hasn't thought about getting married again for decades, so why is he so smitten when he sees you? Xiaoyan said.
"It's the kind of problem that only men understand." Hu Tao smiled lightly, as if he had changed at this moment. "Miss, when you understand, your husband won't cheat on you behind your back."
"You! You! Xiao Yan was so angry that she had a spasm, if Yu Ge hadn't been supporting her, she might have fallen down a long time ago.
Hu Tao walked around in a circle relaxed in the boudoir, as if she had reached her purpose all along. "It's painful to see a loved one die, right?"
"Stinky vixen, don't go too far." Yu Ge scolded. "I still have a lot of spells that don't work? It's a big deal to break the net with you. β
"Little sister birdman, these things have nothing to do with you, and you don't have to be sentimental. If the net is really broken, Mr. Liu will feel sorry for you. Hu Tao had no intention of paying attention to Yu Ge, and she instantly pointed the finger at Xiaoyan again. I just want Miss Zhang to feel the pain of losing her beloved. β
"I killed your father, uncle and husband with my own hands, especially your father, and I slowly peeled off his skin little by little while he was still alive. The sound of flesh and skin separating is really wonderful. β
The more she spoke, the more ruthless she became, and the more she spoke, the more appalling she became.
"It's really slow, it's slow, so slow that he can feel the pain very completely."
"Do you know the look on his face when he died, it's really ecstatic."
The grace of Hu Tao at this moment was long gone, her tone was very sarcastic, and her eyes were filled with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
"He was like a dog, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, wailing and peeing uncontrollably."
"Hahaha, it's really cheap."
The shrill laughter gave goosebumps all over the body.
"You're going too far!"
Yu Ge spread her wings violently and sang a spell to drive away thunder and lightning, but before she could say anything, Hu Tao quickly grabbed her throat.
She was really too fast, like a shadow, and she floated to Yu Ge's side in just a few steps, and there was no chance to resist at all.
"Miss Walnut, please let her go."
"Mr. Liu, it's your sweetheart who makes frequent moves, and I'm just defending myself." As soon as Hu Tao's hand was released, Yu Ge fell to the ground weakly, coughing desperately.
I held Yuge in my arms, and she was cold all over at the moment.
"Quan, her Dao is too high, almost at the level of a god, I am not her opponent at all, you can find a chance to escape quickly." Yu Ge whispered to me, her face pale. "I'm here to resist her."
I reluctantly touched Yu Ge's cheek. "Don't worry, Miss Walnut won't kill us, if you want to kill her, you will kill her a long time ago, Yuge, don't make another move."
Hu Tao smiled lightly, put on his coat, and walked towards the door. "Here, Mr. Liu, you are sensible."
"If you want to know the truth, come with me. So that you may know who is mad and who is ruthless. "Walnut Head didn't look back and walked into the dark staircase." Miss Zhang, you must come. β
She disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye, leaving us with only the sound of her fading heels.
We have no choice but to accept it all.
Everyone wants to escape from the dark world, but sometimes there is nowhere to escape.
At this moment, it is late at night, and the Bohai Road, where people have just come and gone, is only as silent as death.
Tonight, the stars and the moon are very deserted, and even the sound of the wind is desolate.
The places she was going to take us were more difficult than all that.
A small grass hut next to a farmland opposite the plateau company in Daokou Town was emitting a faint light at this time.
"Miss Walnut, where is it?" The wilderness in the middle of the night made me feel a little frightened.
"This is my real home."
She gently pushed open an old wooden door, and the creaking sound of the door opening made me shiver.
There was a light bulb that kept flickering inside the hut so that I could see the furnishings inside.
When everything came into view, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
What kind of "home" is this, this is obviously an ancestral hall, or a place to worship the dead.
There was only a small coffin in the small space, and a long table, and the long table was covered with peach petals, and on top of the peach petals were something similar to tribute, and it was really difficult for me to discern what the specific tribute was. Next to the long table stood two things that resembled paper figurines, like the paper cows and horses we usually use for funerals.
"Come in."
Yu Ge and I walked in with Xiao Yan, who couldn't stand still anymore, and Xiao Yan had a nervous breakdown at the moment and maintained a half-conscious state.
I walked in, and the moment the light bulb lit, I finally saw the furnishings on the long table.
"This! This...... This is! "The sight of me made my stomach churn.
The petals are covered with bloody viscera, and thanks to the peach blossom soaking, they look very alive at the moment, and the blood vessels on the organs are still clearly visible.
"Vixen! You're not going to put ......" Yu Ge almost threw up when he saw this scene.
"Aren't humans also fond of sacrificing the entrails of animals? It's just a matter of imitation. Hu Tao said indifferently.
And that's not all, those two paper figures made me almost insane, they were the scariest things I've seen so far.
It wasn't papier-mΓ’chΓ© at all, and its white, crumpled paper was actually two sheets of human skin that had been air-dried. Messy weeds can see protruding shapes through the human skin
There are many corpses in the world, full of blood type and violence, but compared to this human skin doll, they are all too plain.
"Miss Walnut, you! You're so cruel. I exclaimed, and quickly turned my head to look at it again. Miss Walnut doesn't look like that, why would she do it. β
"Cruel? If you look at what's in it, you know what cruelty is. Hu Tao flicked his fingers and flicked the lid of the pocket-sized wooden coffin at the back.
I shook my head in pain. "I won't look at it, Miss Walnut, I can't bear it."
Hu Tao's voice softened suddenly, almost turning into a pleading.
I've never heard her say that.
"Mr. Liu, I beg you, please take a look."
What is that!
It's a canine carcass, which is nothing unusual, just a skinned animal carcass.
It curled up in a ball, its tiny eyeballs and silver-white fangs visible only in its flesh, reflecting in the light.
