Chapter Seventy-Seven: Blood Rats
At this moment, the old man didn't say a word. The three of them stood in a line under the big tree www.biquge.info and looked up at the corpse of the two wolves on the tree, and found that there was a red thread wrapped around his leg, which was very different from ordinary ones.
The reason for this is that this thread is not made of ordinary fibers. The lines are obviously extremely smooth, very thick, and a little translucent in red. Several people could smell a sour fishy smell from several feet away, and the more they looked at it, the more it looked like something was pulled out of a person's stomach, and Yu didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Moreover, the corpse of the two wolves not only looked dry, but also pale. Hanging upside down from a big tree, he didn't feel like a dead man at all, and he didn't have shoes on the soles of his feet, he was barefoot, and his toes were covered with tiny black worms.
The husband stomped his feet anxiously, his face full of fear or fear. Shrinking his body, he kept retreating back until he reached the edge of the grass. The old ghost in front of him didn't notice his actions at the moment, and they still stood in place with a stiff expression and didn't move.
"Have we just been waiting? I think I'd better go back. "The dwarf is really an anxious person, although he kept saying that he would cooperate, but now he feels a little frightened in his heart.
"Let's go! But you can't take any of the steamed buns back. The old ghost suddenly turned around at this time, looked at the uncertain old man behind him, and said, "You don't have to remind you to be scared, you can go back." ”
The dwarf looked down at the hot steamed buns on the grass, and couldn't help but drip a few drops in his mouth, but he swallowed it back with his tongue, and he was very reluctant to say, "Take them back, I'm hungry." ”
The old ghost resolutely disagreed, saying that if only one of the steamed buns on the ground was taken away, it would be a disrespect to the deceased. Because he didn't want to give us the steamed buns, we didn't fulfill his instructions, and if we insisted on driving, it would inevitably cause a bloody disaster.
At this time, the old man standing outside the meadow finally couldn't bear it anymore, and was full of all kinds of doubts about the old ghost's words. Originally, he still believed it a little, but after those things, he didn't believe a word. Furious, he went up to the old ghost and scolded him: "Aren't they just two steamed buns? Look at what you said so seriously, you really think you're an exorcist master, don't you, give you face? ”
The old ghost's reaction was also surprising, and he thought that these two people were going to fight in the next second. But in fact, this is not the case, the old ghost not only did not quarrel with him, but replied calmly: "Okay, it's the old man's mistake, you can take it if you want, take as much as you want, take it all back, as long as you don't give me food." ”
As soon as the old ghost finished speaking, the dwarf immediately bent down and grabbed a steamed bun from the ground with one hand, stuffed it directly into his mouth without looking at it, and devoured the whole steamed bun, almost without tasting any taste.
After eating the first one, the dwarf felt that it was not enough, so he hurriedly picked up the second steamed bun from the ground, and stuffed it into his mouth one by one, just like before, and stuffed it to the brim. His every move was like that of a hungry wolf for days and nights, his movements were extremely crazy, and his expression was very rough.
But when he finished eating the second steamed bun, he suddenly unconsciously found a strange taste on the tip of his tongue. It's bitter, it's sour, it's spicy, it's numb. The strange smell kept changing back and forth in the mouth, making the whole face blue.
After the dwarf came to his senses, the upper and lower rows of teeth in his tongue also stopped working in an instant, and his scalp began to feel a little numb. Immediately opened the mouth to vomit out the contents that were halfway in his mouth, and at the moment his mouth still felt a little sticky.
When the old man saw it, he asked suspiciously: "You can eat it, why do you spit it out?" ”
The dwarf raised his head and said with a sad face: "I didn't seem to have eaten steamed buns just now, it tastes so strange." ”
The old man suddenly laughed, and replied, "Isn't it a steamed bun in your hand?" ”
When the dwarf heard this, he hurriedly looked back at the ground, and was surprised to find that what had just been spit out of his mouth was indeed a steamed bun, which had been shattered into slag when it was sprinkled on the grass.
The dwarf breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and went back to the previous place to pick up the third steamed bun from the grass. Holding his hands tightly, his eyes widened and he carefully observed for a while to make sure that what he was holding was indeed a white-flour steamed bun, and then he was relieved to stuff it into his mouth. But this time, instead of gobbling up as before, I started to chew slowly one by one.
At this time, the old ghost stood aside without saying a word, and did not make any expression on his face, just crossed his hands on his waist, looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
My husband saw the dwarf squatting on the grass and eating with relish, and he wanted to follow up to join in the fun, so he ran to the grass and picked up a steamed bun, sniffed it carefully with his nose, and sighed: "What a baby, our family has lived for most of our lives, and it is the first time I have seen such a fragrant steamed bun." ”
The old man closed his eyes and was about to open his delicate little lips and take a bite lightly. Suddenly, I found that the steamed bun in my hand vibrated inexplicably, as if I was grabbing a bird.
The husband opened his eyes in an instant, and looked at his right hand intently, "Ah! After screaming, he quickly threw the steamed bun in his hand several meters away in a panic. At the same time, he exclaimed loudly: "Mouse! Mouse! There are rats! ”
When the old ghost heard the sudden screams coming from behind him, he immediately turned around, turned his face to look at the old man, and asked very impatiently, "What's wrong with you?" Are steamed buns not delicious? ”
At this time, my husband's whole body was paralyzed on the ground, and his heart was almost chaotic. His face was green, his hands trembled, and his eyes were locked on the grass under the tree. The mouth continued to scream: "Mouse, there are rats." ”
The old ghost turned his head and looked under the big tree, only to find that the dwarf was squatting under the tree, pinching a dead mouse with open skin in his left hand, pinching half of his black tail in his right hand, and biting a bloody broken leg in his mouth, moving his mouth up and down and chewing violently. While eating, his mouth was still gurgling: "What a fragrant steamed bun, it's so fragrant!" ”
When my husband saw this, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and he lay on the ground, rolled his eyelids up, and fell to the ground and fainted.
I saw that the grass was full of clumps of dead rats that had been unrecognizable, and the yellow blades of grass were soaked with black blood, and the entire palm-sized jungle was covered with the stench of corrosion.
It can be seen that the dwarf is still eating the corpse of the mouse in one bite, and the whole person is like crazy, and he doesn't know what he is thinking in his head, and suddenly he becomes confused, and his face is full of silly smiles.
The old ghost's heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, and although his face remained calm, his heart was already panicked, and he wanted to turn around and flee the terrible dock immediately.
But at this moment, the dwarf suddenly threw down the blood rat in his hand, turned to face the old ghost, and said to him with a stupid smile: "Old fox, old fox, I am the second wolf, the second wolf, come and save me, come and save me." ”
The old ghost and the dwarf looked at each other for a few seconds, and realized that the dwarf had been possessed by a demon spirit nine times out of ten, and his mind was already in chaos. I didn't know what to do, so I could only quickly turn around and run in the direction of the town.
When the dwarf saw that the old ghost had turned and fled, he yelled again, "Don't run! I'm a second wolf, if you run, I'll chase you. ”
The old ghost was so frightened at this time that he didn't dare to look back at all. He just kept running forward desperately, covered in sweat, and his legs were almost unconscious, but he still didn't stop, looking at the town that vaguely looked like a mirage in front of him, and his vision was about to turn black.
The road ahead grew narrower and narrower, and he picked up speed and quickly ran out of the docks. But he could always feel that someone was following him behind him, even calling his name, "Old fox, stop, I'm right behind you." ”
But the old ghost not only did not stop, but ran faster, his eyes were always staring directly at the bumpy path ahead, and he didn't dare to twist his neck to see what was happening behind. He ran along the road for nearly half an hour, and when he clearly saw that the walls of the town were less than a hundred meters away from him, and there was no sound behind him, he slowly slowed down his pace.
Soon, the old ghost ran to the gate of the town, he really couldn't run, his face was already red, his mouth kept panting, he felt that his body was almost about to fall apart, and the whole person was fluttering.
After a few seconds of slowing down, the old ghost slowly raised his head and looked at the city wall. At this moment, an incredible scene happened, just above the gatehouse, two flesh-and-blood corpses were hanging, with very familiar faces. When he looked closely, he was surprised to find that these two faces were the old man and the dwarf before, and at this time, they happened to be hanging on the gatehouse.
The old ghost froze in place when he saw it, and his mind went blank. That is not to advance or retreat. This scene was something he couldn't have predicted, if it was the body of the old man hanging from the gatehouse, then who was the old man he had met under the tree before.
When the old ghost almost thought of this, he felt even more panicked in his heart, and he didn't even dare to continue thinking about it. And he is more concerned about whether to enter the city or not, it is about to get dark, if he does not enter the city, where can he go, there is no figure around at all, and the town is silent, and it feels like he is the only one left in the whole town.
At this time, a crow flew in the sky, jumped over the gatehouse, shuttled high in the air and screamed three times in a row, pulled down a bubble of and fell on the head of the old ghost.
The old ghost didn't know what it was, but he felt a chill above his head. Immediately let go of his footsteps, and quickly rushed towards the iron gate under the city wall, and ran all the way into the town.
When I came to the town, there was no one in this town, only a few corpses of the necromantic army lying on the ground, these corpses were left by the big stones before, and the death was also miserable, and the face was full of bloodstains, which was terrible.
The old ghost looked left and right, but didn't find anything wrong, and immediately ran in the direction of the yafu alone. The old ghost was wandering alone on the street, looking extremely embarrassed, his legs were almost unstable, and he looked like he was about to fall.
It was getting darker and darker, and there were no pedestrians to be seen on the whole street, and the grass huts between the sides were eerily quiet. From time to time, there was a strange sound, as if there were people inside, but I didn't feel that there were people inside.
The old ghost simply covered his ears directly, and dragged his tired body to the place where he was on an errand before. It was his second visit to the town when he returned to town, but he didn't feel strange, just a little scared.
At this time, a little boy hurriedly ran out of the hall, collided with him head-on, and bounced to the ground. At the same time, there was an exclamation.
The old ghost immediately got up from the ground, raised his head slightly to look in front of him, and asked nervously, "Who are you?" ”
The little boy screamed and then covered his head and got up and replied, "It's me, old fox, what are you running and doing?" ”
As soon as the old ghost heard that it was a little boy's voice, he felt even more frightened, so he picked up a big stone from the ground, aimed it at the little boy's head, and smashed it directly without asking.
When the little boy saw this, he flashed back in panic and fell to the ground again, followed by a heart-rending scream.
The old ghost still didn't give up, and smashed his fist at the little boy on the head.
At this time, the little boy said in a panic: "What are you doing, it's me, are you sick?" ”
At this moment, the old ghost also sensed that something was wrong, because the sound he heard was normal, not like the strange sound made by some ghosts. He also stopped his hand, looked at the little boy in front of him carefully, and subconsciously asked, "Are you really a child?" ”
The little boy immediately got up, patted the dust on his body, and replied angrily: "Nonsense, I'm not a child, who am I." ”
The old ghost was shocked, "Aren't you in a cave?" How did it suddenly appear here? What the hell is going on. ”
The little boy said, "What are you talking about?" I've been in this place all along, and I've not been with you anywhere, do you have a fever, old fox, you feel weird when you talk. ”
The old ghost almost couldn't believe what the little boy said, because he had the impression that the little boy had always been by his side before. But at this moment, he said that he had never left this town, and he felt even more scared, so he asked questioningly: "What did you say?" It's impossible, so what are you doing here? ”
The little boy smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you to come back, I have prepared a lot of food for you, do you want to go to the room to eat some together?" ”
The old ghost still had a trace of doubt in his heart, and asked, "Have you ever seen the dwarf and the old man?" ”
The little boy looked dazed, immediately shook his head, and said, "Didn't you see, didn't they go out with you?" Why haven't you come back yet? ”
The old ghost still didn't believe what the little boy said, so he dragged his whole body over, looked at his face carefully, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who the hell are you, you are not that child at all, why do you want to pretend to be him." ”
The little boy put on an innocent look again, and replied in a low voice: "What the hell are you talking about, I am really a little boy, why don't you believe me." ”
The old ghost pushed him away at this time, his eyes were about to turn red, and his lungs were about to explode. I couldn't believe that what I had met before was an illusion, so I said to him again: "Tell me honestly, what the hell is going on, we obviously went out together before, old man, I remember it clearly, there will be no mistake." ”
The little boy didn't speak at this time, and after giving him a blank look, he turned around and returned to the palace.
The old ghost quickly followed, and asked, "Then you at least know where I went before, right?" ”
The little boy turned around, pulled a grimace and stuck out his tongue and said, "How do I know where you have been, I am not with you." ”
The old ghost said, "What? I didn't tell you where I'm going? ”
The little boy said, "Why do you want to tell me where you're going?" ”
The old ghost didn't know what to say at this time, but he still didn't believe what the little boy said, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know how to see through it.
Then the little boy looked back at the old ghost and said to him, "Oh, I know where you are going." ”
"And where am I going?" The old ghost is bad.
"Haha! You're going to your wife's house, oh no, don't you have a wife, how can you be a child? It's weird, you say it's weird. The little boy smiled as he spoke, as if it were casual.
The old ghost almost ignored him, looked left and right around the environment, and found that the coffin from before was still parked outside the lobby. And this coffin was just an ordinary coffin, but it was exactly the same as the one he had met under the tree before, and he asked the little boy again curiously, and said, "What is the matter with this coffin?" Why is it parked in such a place, and who did it? ”
The little boy replied: "This coffin was made by craftsmen invited by the monkey-faced ghost before, and now it has been parked here, and there is a woman who often sleeps in it, and the woman is strange, she will crawl out to see the moon every night, and the whole person will shrink back into the coffin during the day." ”
When the old ghost heard this, he was so nervous that his eyebrows were about to burn. He hurriedly said: "Oh no, quickly carry this coffin out and burn it, there is something wrong with this coffin." ”
The little boy's reaction was very calm, and he jumped all the way to the coffin, and turned back to him and said, "Why, I sometimes sleep in the coffin, it's warm here, do you want to come in and sleep too?" ”
After hearing this sentence, the old ghost finally understood. Looking at the little boy's face, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like an old woman, the skin seemed to be covered with a thin veil of human skin, and the hands were extremely rough.
The old ghost immediately took out a dagger from his sleeve, hid it behind him, and slowly leaned towards the little boy step by step.
The little boy didn't seem to realize it, but continued to smile and say to him, "Would you like to eat something?" I made a lot of food in the room. ”
The old ghost smiled and nodded, and said as he walked over, "Okay, then let's eat a little." ”
The little boy immediately turned around and was about to run to the room. Unexpectedly, at this time, the old ghost immediately drew the dagger and stabbed the dagger directly into the little boy's heart. After the little boy was stabbed, "Ah! He screamed. fell to the ground. The old ghost almost saw that he had lost his resistance, and he was relieved, so he used it to make up for it, and scolded him: "You still pretend to the old man, continue to pretend to me!" I'll send you to the western heaven now. ”
The little boy covered the wound on his chest with his hands, and instantly vomited a ball of hot blood from his mouth, and said dyingly: "You...... Old...... Why did the fox kill me. ”
The old ghost just smiled, but did not reply, and then pulled the dagger out of his body again, and continued to stab him a third time. At the same time, he taunted him: "Ouch, you pretend to be quite similar, you really think you are a little boy." ”
"I'm such a little boy, why should I lie to you." When the little boy said this, his face had become very pale, and it seemed that he was about to pass out in the next second.
The old ghost laughed again, and grabbed his head as soon as he stretched out his hand, "You still pretend to me, the old man will tear off your human skin veil and see what you look like, hahaha." After saying that, the old ghost reached out and grabbed his face, but when he touched it, he found that his face was bare, not like a mask.
When the old ghost realized it, he hurriedly retracted his hand and exclaimed, "Ah, you are really a little boy." ”
But at this time, the boy who fell in a pool of blood had already closed his eyes, stopped breathing, and said nothing, and fell into a pale "sleep".
At this time, the old ghost found that he had killed the wrong person, his hands were stained with innocent blood, and he suddenly felt extremely desolate in his heart. looked down at the little boy who had fallen asleep, and shouted loudly: "I'm sorry, the old man was confused just now, you are really a little boy, you really are." ”
As soon as the old ghost finished speaking, he looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky again, and let out the loudest voice: "Ah!! ”
The stars in the sky seemed to speak, but the little boy would never speak. His body had become as stiff as an ice cube, and his face had slowly turned into a snow-white scarf.
