Chapter 257: In the Cellar......
"So, have you done anything before......" I wanted to say whether you had done anything unreasonable, but when the words came to my lips, thinking about the things that the old woman had helped us, I was a little speechless for a while.
"Something hurtful, isn't it?" The old woman calmly took my words and said, "That's the case, you don't have to worry about anything, it's okay to just say it." I've done some shady things before, and even now, I can't forgive myself, and that's why I've decided not to do them anymore......"
Speaking of this, the old woman actually laughed, and her originally wrinkled face looked extremely kind: "But now it's okay, everything should be over, it's all fate......"
With that, she turned to the shelves behind her, reaching out and stroking the bottles and cans on the shelves, as if saying goodbye to old friends.
Seeing this, a doubt suddenly sprouted in my heart, and I opened my mouth noncommittally and asked, "Old woman, then why do you have to implant the Gu King into my friend's body?" Is there something unusual about him? ”
Hearing this, the old woman turned her head and looked at me through the dim candlelight and said, "I don't know if there is anything unusual about him, it's just that because of the emergency situation at that time, I was worried that I would be killed, resulting in the loss of the Gu King, and I had to implant the ...... on your friend's body as a last resort" Saying, she choked up a little, "I even lost my own daughter because of this......"
Although her last sentence was a little vague, I still heard it, it turned out that Yaolong's previous experience was not his delusion, but that there was indeed a little girl, and it seemed that she had lost her life because of the Gu King.
"Okay, I've told you what I should say and what I shouldn't say, now do you have anything else to ask?" The old woman spoke in such a tone that it was like a big stone in her heart falling to the ground, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
I thought about it, and saw that there was really no question to ask, so I said to the old woman, "Thank you for telling me so much, and that's all I want to know." ”
Hearing my words, the old woman nodded at me, waved her hand and whispered, "In that case, then you should leave first, I want to stay here by myself for a while, and you can go and accompany your friends." ”
I felt a faint sense of uneasiness in my heart when she asked me to leave, but I had no reason to stay any longer, so I thanked her again and left the cellar alone.
When I walked out of the room, it was already completely dark, and I felt the darkness and returned to Yaolong's room. At this time, by the moonlight swaying in from outside the house, I vaguely saw Yaolong still lying quietly on the stone bed, his chest rising and falling gently, and the expression on his face was very peaceful, as if he was sleeping soundly.
"I hope nothing happens again......" I muttered to myself as I looked at the sleeping Yaolong, and then I pulled over a few rough wooden stools, putting them together so that one person could lie down in front of me.
After that, I barely slept on the "bed" made of wooden benches......
There was no word all night, and the next morning, a dazzling morning light shone in from outside the house, shining warmly on people. "Hmm~ Is it dawn?" I stretched and yawned to get up from the stool, then subconsciously turned my head to look at the stone bed where Yaolong slept.
By this time, the stone bed covered with hay had long been empty, and the hay was piled up disheavily. "Where's the Yaolong people?!" I was shocked, and hurriedly reached out and touched the bed, wanting to see if there was any temperature.
"It's still warm, it looks like he should have only been away for a long time......" Thinking, I hurriedly rushed out the door. Because I was in a hurry, I pretended to be full of arms with someone as soon as I went out.
"Eh~" exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly took a few steps back. Standing still, I fixed my eyes and saw that it was Yaolong standing in front of me, he was standing at the door, and he seemed to be startled by the collision just now.
"You're up too......" Yaolong spoke first.
"Well, I saw that you weren't there, and I thought something had happened to you, and it scared me......" I said.
Yaolong smiled, grabbed the back of his head and said, "I also just got up, seeing that you are still sleeping, I thought about going out to wash my face and sober up, but I didn't expect you to wake up too......"
With that, I walked out of the house with Yaolong, standing under the morning sun, I moved my body, which was a little painful from sleeping on the bench, and asked Yaolong, "How do you feel now, is there anything unusual?" ”
"......No," Yaolong replied while moving his arm, "Not only is there nothing unusual, but the injuries suffered before seem to be healed, and now they are extraordinarily energetic." ”
"Eh, by the way, what about the old woman who helped us before? Where is she now? I haven't thanked her yet......"
Listening to Yaolong talk about the old woman, I remembered that I had not seen her since I left the cellar last night, and I did not know what she was.
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and then I said to Yaolong, "Let's go look for her, she hasn't seen her since she took me to a cellar last night." ”
Hearing me say this, Yaolong looked a little surprised: "What, she disappeared in the cellar?" ”
Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood what I meant, he said, "It has not disappeared...... Anyway, I can't explain it to you in a sentence or two, anyway, let's find her first. ”
With that, I took Yaolong to the door of the cellar next to the house. Standing at the door, Yaolong seemed a little incomprehensible, and I walked into the cellar without saying a word. Seeing that I didn't speak, Yaolong had no choice but to follow me in.
When I entered the cellar, it was already dark, and I could faintly smell the smell of burning candles in the air, and there was a sound of rustling in the darkness, which made people's hairs stand on end.
Seeing this, I hurriedly took out the lighter for smoking from my arms. The moment the lighter was lit, I was stunned by what I saw. The firelit ground was littered with fragments of the jars, and even the wooden shelves on which the jars were placed were toppled to the ground.
"What's going on?!" I was shocked, and at the same time gasped, and secretly screamed in my heart. I thought, is there someone who has come to seek revenge?
Thinking about it, I held the lighter up slightly to see what was further away. At this moment, I saw a few insects running out of the darkness, including scorpions and centipedes, although they were normal in size, their colors were very different from their original body color, most of them showed an undisturbing dark green, and they did not look good.
Seeing this, Yaolong couldn't help but say, took off his bow and arrows, raised his hand to shoot a few arrows, and shot the poisonous insects on the ground to death one by one. At that moment, I stumbled upon an object in the shape of a human hand in a corner lit by the firelight, and the rest of the thing was hidden in the darkness where the firelight could not be found......
Seeing this, my eyes widened in surprise, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat......
