Aunt Xue looked at me embarrassed: "You say, what can I do?" There is no one who doesn't know about it. If you want someone to cut down the tree for you, I'm afraid no one will want to come. ”

I grinned, "I finally understand why the locust trees here have grown into locust forests, making this street so horrible that no one cares." ”

I scratched my head and asked Mr. Lu, "Look, these locust trees are so weird, could it be because of the corpses below?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded approvingly: "That's right, it's because of the corpse below." Boy, you're very wise. Do you want to learn Taoism from me? ”

I waved my hand: "Fuck off." Shall I learn from you? You must not kill me. ”

Aunt Xue turned her head and asked Mr. Lu, "Are there any ways to crack those locust trees?" ”

"Actually, I've been noticing the trees for a long time. This wood, with its great resentment and collusion, would be so resentful that if I were to forcibly disperse them, I would not be able to do so, even if I was not injured. ”

I was anxious: "What should I do then?" Now that the ghost woman is eyeing me, you can't ignore it. ”

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "If you say before, I really can't do anything. But just now, didn't you figure out the origin of this grudge? The bell must be tied to the bell, as long as we satisfy those who died unjustly, these trees can naturally be cut down. ”

I waved my hand: "You wait." Isn't this an endless loop? If I can satisfy them, what else will I build? ”

Mr. Lu shook his head: "The purpose of building the Martyrs' Shrine is to satisfy the Yin Ghost Woman. The ghosts in the locust forest have no feeling for the Martyrs' Shrine. If you want to satisfy them, you have to use another way. ”

I asked, "What's the solution?" ”

Mr. Lu said with some solemnity: "Living sacrifice." ”

Aunt Xue asked nervously, "A living person?" Which person? ”

Mr. Lu said as a matter of course: "Of course it's the Xue family, your Xue family, there should be only Xue Qian left, right?" ”

Aunt Xue didn't answer at all, rolled her eyes, and fainted to the ground.

Mr. Lu and I hurriedly helped her to the chair. I said a little dejectedly: "It's been a long time, Xue Qian still has to die?" ”

Mr. Lu looked at Aunt Xue and said helplessly: "You two are too anxious, I haven't finished talking yet, what conclusions do you make?" I'm a decent person, and I can't do things like killing people and sacrificing ghosts. ”

At this time, Aunt Xue also eased up, raised her head and asked, "You, don't kill Xue Qian?" ”

Mr. Lu glared: "Murder is illegal, can I do that?" ”

I sighed, "Then you can make it clear." How, exactly? ”

Mr. Lu looked at Xue Qian who was sleeping: "How to do it?" Let's go first, this kid wakes up. Rest assured, I can guarantee that he is safe and sound. ”

Aunt Xue sighed: "This season, there is no rain." ”

Mr. Lu said: "I watch the sky at night, and tomorrow night there will be. So, there's no need to rush. ”

I looked at the two of them suspiciously, "What are you talking about?" Why wait for the rain? ”

Aunt Xue said: "What Mr. Lu said, wait until the day of the rain, Xue Qian will be able to come back to life." ”

I yawned, "God babble." Let's discuss it, I have to go to sleep, I can't stand it. ”

I have been at Xue Qian's house for a long time, and the covers are all there, so I threw myself on the bed and closed my eyes. The night did choke me so much that I soon fell asleep.

A good dream, when I slept to a happy time. Someone woke me up.

I opened my eyes and saw that the room was dark. It was dark everywhere, and there was a person standing next to my bed, looking at the outline, it seemed to be Mr. Lu.

I got up dizzy: "What's going on?" Mr. Lu, it's not dawn yet, why did you wake me up? ”

Mr. Lu said, "What are you kidding? You've slept all day. It's dark. Get up, let's go save Xue Qian. ”

I put on my shoes and asked, "What's going on?" Is it raining? ”

Mr. Lu nodded: "It's raining, let's go." Let Mrs. Xue watch Xue Qian at home. ”

I reluctantly said, "Can't you just do it yourself?" Why are you calling me again? I'm still empty. ”

Mr. Lu dragged me and said, "I just took a fancy to your weak body, so I asked you to come with me, let's go." Hurry. ”

When I followed Mr. Lu to the street, I saw the moon and stars, and it was a sunny day. couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Hey, Mr. Lu, are you busy and stupid?" Is it raining? ”

Mr. Lu looked at me with pity: "Tut-tut, boy, you follow me, just learn well." ”

Then, he took out a candle from his satchel, lit it, and held it in front of him. Walk slowly forward.

This night, I followed Mr. Lu for I don't know how long. Gradually, out of the city, to the suburbs. I don't know where I went, the temperature seemed to drop a lot, a gust of night wind blew, I couldn't help but feel a little cold, hugged my shoulders and shivered.

I asked impatiently, "Mr. Lu, how long will it take to go?" ”

Mr. Lu didn't speak, just walked forward with his head down.

I deliberately stabbed him with words: "Mr. Lu, you can't take care of this matter and want to run away with me, right?" ”

Mr. Lu still did not speak, and slowly walked forward with his head down.

I think it's a little strange, this old man usually talks a lot to death, why didn't he say a word tonight?

I quickened my pace, walked around to him, and tilted my head to look at him.

It scared the hell out of me.

Mr. Lu's face was extremely pale, and he couldn't see any human color. He slowly turned around and asked me, "What's wrong?" ”

The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and I swallowed and foamed, and said, "No, not much." ”

Mr. Lu slowly turned his head and continued to walk forward with the candle.

At this time, although I didn't know what happened to Mr. Lu, I could feel that something was wrong with him.

Just by glancing at it, I noticed that his eyes had changed, and there was no whites of the whites of the two eyes, all of them were black. This happens only in dead people, where the muscles relax and the pupils dilate, taking up all the eyeballs.

I turned my head and looked back, trying to find a way to slip back quickly. However, when I turned around, I realized that it was dark behind me, where was the road?

I looked up, and I don't know when it began, the clouds were in all directions, and the moon in the sky had been obscured. Except for the candle in Mr. Lu's hand, there was no light at all.

I followed him slowly, hesitated for a while, and slowly slowed down: "Lao Tzu can't follow him anymore." No matter how dark it is, there will always be a time of dawn, so I just wait until the morning to go home. ”

However, as soon as I slowed down, I suddenly heard a slight breathing behind me. Although the sound was extremely difficult to detect, I was able to capture it in this quiet night.

My body stiffened, and I turned my head slowly.

At this time, I noticed that there was another dark shadow behind me, but it was too dark to see clearly. I was about to ask a question when the shadow suddenly reached out a hand and covered my mouth. Then he dragged me, staggered two steps, and dragged me to the side of the road.

He whispered in my ear, "Don't be quiet, I'm Mr. Lu." ”

I was stunned: "Mr. Lu? Didn't he carry a candle before me? ”

Then, the shadow reached out and wiped it on my face. These hands were cold and wet. When he wiped it out, I suddenly felt that my surroundings were much brighter.

I looked up and saw the moon shining brightly in the sky. And Mr. Lu also squatted beside me, looking at me with a smile.

I was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Mr. Lu pointed to the front: "You are blinded by ghosts, you see." ”

I looked up in confusion and saw a grave bag in front of us, a black shadow carrying a lantern and circling the grave bag.

I grew my mouth in surprise, pointed at the black shadow and said, "Just now, I was just following him?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded: "I didn't pay attention, you have followed him for more than ten laps." I woke you up with the rain just now. ”

I nodded, and said a little nervously, "Could it be that this is the lantern ghost?" ”
