Chapter Twenty-Four: The Woman in the Mountains
In the dead of night, everything goes into a dormant state, and only the diligent nightingale still chirps, occasionally breaking the silence of the night and transmitting its sad song to the sleeping earth and people.
It was late at night, and the subtle cries of night bugs were gradually thinning. The night breeze was blowing, and a dull thunder rolled over the old mansion.
A box of cigarettes has turned into a small pile of cigarette butts, and Chen Jun doesn't know that he opened his mouth and yawned n n times, and every time he yawned, a little tear would come out.
Liu Jing stayed by the children's side, and also said that he couldn't sleep, and his heart was fifteen buckets, seven up and eight down. Knowing what men don't want to tell women, as a wife, she can't ask too much, so she can only do her duty to protect the safety of her children.
In order to resist the annoyance of drowsiness, Chen Jun kept walking between the corridor and Zelin's bedroom. If it were calculated in terms of how many meters he walked in an hour, he should have walked a distance of several hundred meters at this time.
Zelin eventually fell asleep in a state of panic, and judging from the constant palpitation and convulsion of his face, his sleep was not necessarily peaceful and peaceful.
Chen Jun saw the pants covered by Zelin's head, shook his head gloomily, and pulled out a wry smile, Monet pulled the door shut, exited his bedroom to the corridor, moved a rattan circle chair, took out a futon from the bedroom, and planned to spend the night on the circle chair tonight. In this cold old house, especially in the middle of the night, the cold feeling simply penetrates the skin, cold to the bone marrow, and you have to hold out a thick futon to cover your body.
Qiangzi's entrustment on the phone exerted invisible pressure on Chen Jun's heart, and he went back and forth between Zelin and the corridor again and again, and the person was already tired, and his eyelids kept tangled and fighting. Not far away, the cold water in the porcelain basin is used to wash the face and drive away drowsiness.
Chen Jun leaned on the circle chair, pulled the futon over his body, and looked at his mobile phone, when it was 12.00 Beijing time, that is, in the middle of the night. The night sky was dark, and the cold wind fluttered not far from the corridor from time to time, and a cluster of budding poppies made a slight noise. The night is always terrifying, but it can't get rid of the darkness of the night, and human beings can only sleep by relying on the night, so as to replenish the energy consumed during the day.
The lights of the old mansion were shining in the night breeze, and Chen Jun deliberately lit up the lights in the houses everywhere, just to see how the evil in Qiangzi's mouth appeared under the brilliant lights. The thunder rumbled, rolled gradually, and the lightning lit up a line, and disappeared in an instant, and it was dark again in front of him. The weather is dry and the night rains, which is the natural law to form the circulation of the body. The drizzle is coming, and the wind blows the rain all over the sky. The poppy shook her head, and stretched out her green leaves to let the rain wash away the dust that had spread on the leaves.
Chen Jun felt that something was floating in the corridor leading to the front door, and by his senses, it seemed that he was about to enter through the door of the corridor. He looked closely at the wall next to the door, and there was no shadow on the wall except the shadows of the swaying trees. Secretly calmed down a little, thinking that maybe it was a mistake, and just relaxed the tense nerves, suddenly saw a slender and slender shadow, appearing on the wall as far as the eye could see, it looked like a human being, it had no feet......
The strange shadow was getting closer and closer, the feeling of swelling in his heart, the nervous breath rose to his throat, and Chen Jun wanted to get up and close the door. The door that I thought was closed in a daze opened again when the cold wind hit.
Chen Jun watched, the open door was still trembling, and there was nothing empty at the door, only a cold wind rushed in, and he felt the freezing point on his face as cold as his face.
Chen Jun tried his best to stand up from the circle chair, but his legs did not obey, and the futon suddenly became heavy and suppressed him and could not move. He could hear it himself, the sound of his heartbeat and the unquenchable tension that was about to come out of his throat.
Chen Jun knew that something would appear, but he couldn't see it. Just as he was guessing, the slender figure suddenly became short and fat, then bent at his feet, and a low cry was heard.
Is it in a dream? Chen Jun asked himself, and the sound of a woman's sobbing was obvious in his ears, but he couldn't move. Secretly said: Why is that?
Chen Jun struggled to exert all his strength, but Monet was never able to break free from the evil Shu Bo, he opened his eyes in anger and was shocked to see a woman's slender figure appear in front of him.
The woman, Ana, has a figure, her sleeves hide her face, and her face cannot be seen clearly. The voice was really poignant and compassionate, and he gave a deep salute to Chen Jun, who was lying on his back on the circle chair, and said a thousand blessings: "I am a woman in the mountains, thanks to Engong and someone who brought the to another place to settle down, I survived the ravages of the tree spirit, and the will be reborn elsewhere in a few days, so I would like to thank you." ”
Dryad, a woman from the mountains. Chen Jun became more and more confused, and the light in the emotional corridor also became dim when the woman came, he looked at the woman in confusion and asked, "You are the woman in that lonely grave, what is the tree spirit?" Why do you hurt people? ”
When the woman saw the other party's question, her shoulders twitched slightly, and the whimpering sound was sent into Chen Jun's eardrums again, and she continued to cry euphemistically: "The is a child daughter-in-law, because she accidentally ate an egg, choked to death in the firewood room, was buried alive by her in-laws, and then was tossed by the person who shed the skin, swallowed the egg to her stomach by mistake, and then woke up. When I returned to my mother-in-law's house, they didn't want me, a person full of bad luck, to return to this cage-like home for the sake of their own face, but they were punished even more cruelly, they burned the alive and buried her under the old locust tree full of evil spirits, and since then she has been tortured and humiliated by the tree spirits, and she has to persecute people and suck in the man's essence blood for him to reproduce the roots. ”
When Chen Jun heard this somewhat absurd but full of incredible words, he felt really unconvinced.
"Don't believe it, don't believe it, you take someone tomorrow and go to stubborn that tree, there is a huge python below, you have to cut off its head to destroy the evil and harm people again."
Chen Jun saw that the woman was speaking so earnestly, and there was no coaxing in his eyes, he wanted to see the woman's appearance and said, "Can you let me take a look?" ”
"The appearance of the has long been ruined, and it is unbearable. Engong still has big things to happen, so Engong is better to do it! After the woman finished speaking, she disappeared in front of Chen Jun like smoke, he was stunned and hurriedly got up to see where the woman had gone, but he didn't expect his body to move, and suddenly woke up, stunned, it turned out that it was Nan Ke a dream just now.
Chen Jun woke up and hurriedly looked at the time. It's 2.00, secretly patting his forehead, snooze and forgetting tonight's heavy responsibility, I don't know what the situation of Zelin is now, how is it, I don't know if there is anything big happening with Liu Jing and the children at this time.
When you think about it in your mind, no matter how sleepy you are, you can't help but be confused and suddenly wake up. Chen Jun suddenly got up, lifted the futon covering his body, and hurriedly ran towards Zelin's bedroom.
