It takes a lot of courage to sacrifice myself, and if there is still a chance of life, I will not give up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But I was no longer alive, and just as I was about to accept my fate, these two "snowmen" suddenly rose from the ground and flew towards the sky, and they were facing me.
I lay on the snow and saw them fly into the night sky and then crash to the roof.
A red figure quickly appeared in front of my eyes, a pair of cold hands pulled me up from the ground, and then rushed out of the main gate of the temple with arrow steps, I saw clearly, it was the red-clothed female ghost Yang Luji who saved me from the hands of these two ghosts, she stepped on the mirror buried by the old Taoist priest under the snow, and screamed miserably, and sat on the ground.
I was so frightened that I went to help her, but I felt a strong wind behind me, and I was blown to the ground.
Yang Luji grabbed me and rolled down the hillside, and in the rolling, I saw a black wind blowing out of the temple, transforming into a skeleton, and reaching out to grab me.
But Midorihime rolled me very quickly, and in a blink of an eye she rolled to an abandoned mansion, and with a little force on her weak feet on the ground, her body jumped up from the snow with me, and broke in through the broken window on the back wall of the house.
When I entered the abandoned house, my body fell to the ground first, and my whole body convulsed in pain.
Midorihime immediately held her breath and blocked my mouth and nose with her hand, which also made me unable to breathe, I immediately struggled, she motioned for me not to make a sound, and a strong wind came through the hole, and then circled around the house, but there was a wild cat's cry in the yard, and the black wind immediately blew open the broken door and chased into the courtyard of the abandoned house.
I felt my lungs explode, and Midorihime immediately removed her hand, but sealed my mouth with soft red lips, and a puff of air from her mouth was sent to my lungs, so that I no longer felt deprived of oxygen.
It was my first kiss, and I was a little surprised to hear that it was calm outside, Midorihime let go of me, and gasped for air.
"You chose the right one, it is more painful to stay than to leave, I know it very well!" Midorihime comforted me.
I hurriedly asked, "That gust of wind just now?" ”
Midorihime straightened her clothes and explained, "It's Mr. Tent, he wants to keep you as his slave!" ”
"Thank you for saving me, why don't you get out of here with me!" Actually, I wish she could take me out of here.
Midorihime stood up and immediately refused: "No, I can't leave with you, otherwise if His Highness finds out, he will not only arrest me and send me to hell, but also affect you!" ”
"But I don't know how to get out of here?" I told the truth in a hurry.
Midorihime pulled open the collar to reveal the white gauze, and then untied the strap of the saree, revealing the white bandeau top, and I hurriedly turned my face away, not daring to look directly, for fear that my heart would hurt.
She pulled a jasper in the shape of a rooster from her bandeau and said to me, "Take it and follow the path you came, and if you speed up, you will catch up with your friends, and remember to catch them before dawn!" ”
Midorihime shoved the jasper into my hand, a warm feeling.
I couldn't help but be grateful, and I hurriedly took a sachet from my neck, which I found from my grandmother's old wardrobe, the wormwood in it had rotted, but the realgar was still there, so I stuffed it into her hand as a gift in return.
Midorihime let out a low sigh, but still clenched the sachet.
"People and ghosts have different paths, son, hurry up!" Midorihime urges.
I heard the wind again, and tried to hug her, but she had already turned into a red light and rushed out of the room, and then jumped to the roof, and the black wind caught up with the roof.
It was calm again, the rooster crowed twice, and I hurried out of my room, out of the dilapidated house, and hurried to the bottom of the ditch.
At the bottom of the ditch, I saw the old Taoist priest who was fleeing for his life on the Hongtu Ridge, followed by Brother Zhenmin and Xiaoma.
I hurriedly shouted, but they didn't seem to hear me, and they still ran forward.
I just hurt my ankle with a rope chain and fell to the ground, and now I feel that there is no place in my body that does not hurt, but now is not the time for pain, it is important to hurry.
When I climbed to the top of Hongtuling with all my might, I saw a morning star appear in the eastern sky, and the sky was about to dawn.
Looking down the hill again, the old Taoist priest and his two companions were gone, I was anxious, and the ankles of my feet were more painful, and suddenly there was a howl of a wild wolf, and I fell to the ground under my feet, and rolled to the bottom of the ditch like a stone roll.
When I woke up, I found myself in the back seat of the pony's Pochang River van, it was already dawn, but the van was completely covered in snow.
Brother Zhenmin sat next to me and didn't wake up yet, and Pony sat in the driver's seat, lying on the steering wheel and sleeping soundly.
The old Taoist priest also sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed.
I was busy looking at my hands, there were a lot of bruises, and then I looked at my feet, and there were obvious strangulation marks.
Was last night a dream or did it really happen?
I opened my padded coat and went to inspect the sachet hanging around my neck, only to find that the sachet had turned into jasper in the shape of a rooster.
It seems that everything I experienced last night is true, and I hurriedly woke up Brother Zhenmin, and woke up the pony and the old Taoist.
Brother Zhenmin opened his eyes and saw me, and was immediately surprised: "You finally rushed back, now I can rest assured!" ”
Seeing that the cart was covered in snow, the pony rushed to light the fire, but failed.
The car couldn't start, he pushed open the door, and the old Taoist priest also pushed the door out, and the car was completely covered with snow, with no footprints or other traces around.
"Was last night's experience still a dream? But how can this jasper be explained? I said to myself.
The old Taoist priest also opened his leather coat and took out the empty leather bag, which I remember contained gold bars.
As the pony began to clear the snow from the car, I asked the old priest, "What happened last night?" ”
"Don't say it to anyone, including your parents and relatives, and don't say it to us, just think it's just a dream, but you still have to pay the debt!" The old Taoist priest warned.
I nodded in response, and said secretly in my heart: "Anyway, I won't kill anyone, at most ten years later, the ghost will take my life." If I hurt someone else, I am afraid that I will be arrested and then tried if I don't get away with it for ten years, will the judge believe that I am killing people to pay off my debts or to eliminate harm for the people? ”
Brother Zhenmin beckoned me to clear the snow from the van together, and then together they pushed the van down the slope and moved it onto the country mountain road.
The snow has stopped, but there are no cars passing on the road, and the car can't catch fire, what can I do?
There are still 20 miles of road from Donggou here, and it takes at least half a day to hike. Brother Zhenmin took out a cigarette and handed it to the pony, the two began to smoke, and the old Taoist priest took out the liquor and drank it.
I rubbed the jasper, worried about my unknown fate.
At this time, suddenly the whistle of the siren came from the mountain road, and I was startled, and the pony was frightened and dropped the cigarette, and asked the old Taoist priest, "Could it be that he came to arrest us?" ”
The old Taoist priest scolded: "What are you afraid of, we haven't done anything illegal!" ”
Brother Zhenmin stepped on the cigarette and looked towards the sound of the siren, where a pickup police car with the words "Forest Fire" was coming, and the snow on the tires was clattering.
The police car stopped next to our van and paused its siren.
The windows rolled down, and a driver in a police uniform asked, "Is the car broken?" ”
Brother Zhenmin nodded and explained: "The car can't catch fire, where are you going?" ”
"The heavy snow is closing the mountain, and the forest ranger of Yehugou will call for help when his life is gone, we are ordered to deliver daily necessities for him, is the mountain road still easy to walk?"
