Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of Gu Refining!
Li Youxiang looked around, where was there any shadow, and the sound of striking iron disappeared at some point.
The wind was strong, and the white lanterns shook violently, and the dim light cast on the ground was also flicking around.
Grunt!
Li Youxiang swallowed her saliva.
Instinctive fear choked Li Youxiang's breath, and she didn't want to think about it, so she ran away.
Before turning around, a cold wind blew and blew out the candle, Li Youxiang suddenly became even more frightened, glanced in the direction of the inn, that is, a distance of five hundred meters, gritted his teeth, and ran up.
When, when, when......
Li Youxiang rushed out of a hundred meters, and suddenly, the sound of striking iron sounded again, which really startled her, and she couldn't help but stop and look back.
Under the miserable white paper lantern, there was a slender figure, wielding a hammer, striking iron one after another.
"Mom, hit me. ”
Li Youxiang's scalp was numb, she was really frightened, and cold sweat came out, at this time, her eyes were fixed, and she suddenly saw an old woman walking towards her, the old woman bent down, lowered her head, leaned on crutches, stared at the ground, and seemed to be looking for something.
The old woman walked past the blacksmith.
Li Youxiang stared wide-eyed, but nothing abnormal happened, and the old woman walked towards her step by step after passing by the blacksmith shop.
Before approaching, the old woman still lowered her head, but she seemed to see Li Youxiang in some way, and suddenly made a hoarse voice, "Little girl, I lost my things, have you seen it?"
Li Youxiang heard the old woman's low cry, a very sad cry, and couldn't help but hold the wine jar in front of her, and replied timidly: "Old man, what did you lose?"
The old woman's cry suddenly became much louder: "My eyeballs are missing, have you picked them up?"
The next moment, the old woman raised her head suddenly.
There are two blood marks on the wrinkled face!
Hollow eyes!
No eyeballs!
Tears mixed with blood flowed out!
"Mom!" Li Youxiang screamed, her body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and she fell to the ground.
"My eyeballs, you give back my eyeballs......" the old woman cried, approaching step by step.
"Don't come here, I didn't take your eyeballs. Li Youxiang was almost scared to death, and she crawled with a roll, and her face turned pale with fright.
Suddenly!
The old woman's cry disappeared, Li Youxiang was stunned, turned her head and looked behind her, where was there an old woman.
Li Youxiang wiped a cold sweat and breathed a long sigh of relief, shocked.
The strange thing is that Li Youxiang felt that there was a gaze staring at her coldly from beginning to end.
He took a sip of wine and ran back to the inn. ”
Li Youxiang shook her head, tried to cheer up, picked up the wine jar and was about to drink, suddenly......! Eyeball!
Li Youxiang's hair stood up, like a frightened bird, her psychology was close to collapse, she threw away the wine jar at once, her body curled up in a ball, trembling, and finally she couldn't bear to cry loudly.
"What are you crying about?"
After a while, a familiar voice came, and Li Youxiang raised her head in good spirits and saw Fang Ruoxi standing in front of her, looking at her with a slight frown.
"Ruoxi, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!" Li Youxiang got up and hugged Fang Ruoxi's legs, her eyes full of endless horror.
"Ghost?" Fang Ruoxi's expression changed, she helped Li Youxiang up, and asked calmly, "Where did you see the hell?"
Li Youxiang told the matter again, the old woman with no eyeballs......
Fang Ruoxi groaned slightly, and said: "I didn't hear any sound of iron, I got up in the middle of the night to relieve my hands, found that you were not there, and I was worried that something would happen to you, so I came out to look for you, and I saw you hugging your head here and crying." ”
Li Youxiang turned his head to look at the blacksmith shop, only the white paper lanterns were swaying back and forth in the wind.
Seeing this, Fang Ruoxi took her hand and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”
Li Youxiang didn't dare, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid, let's go back and let Gongzi solve it." ”
Fang Ruoxi suddenly raised her chin and said, "Have you forgotten what I do, my family has been a corpse chaser for generations, specializing in removing ghosts and warding off evil spirits." As he spoke, he turned over his hand and took out the soul bell and clasped it in his hand, with a confident expression.
Li Youxiang's uneasy heart calmed down for a while, thought about it, and said: "Then don't let go of my hand, I have heard Song Qizuo tell many ghost stories, the most common plot is that two people are walking together, and suddenly something happens, one person leaves the other and runs away, and then one of the two of them will inevitably die." ”
Fang Ruoxi smiled and said: "I'm scared to death, don't worry, I won't let go of your hand even if I kill me." ”
The two sisters walked forward hand in hand.
Soon came to the blacksmith shop, Fang Ruoxi squinted slightly, and said strangely: "There doesn't seem to be any problem with the blacksmith shop, it's just ...... Why is there a paper lantern hanging here?"
Li Youxiang thought about it and said, "Yes, on the entire street, only here is a paper lantern." ”
Fang Ruoxi calmed down, picked up a wooden stick next to him, picked up the paper lantern, and when he looked at it, his breath couldn't help but pause.
Li Youxiang became nervous and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fang Ruoxi's lips tightened, and she said in a deep voice: "This is a human skin lantern." ”
"Human skin ......" Li Youxiang was terrified, her face turned a little pale, she felt her body cold, and she couldn't help but tremble.
"Do you know what it means to hang a human skin lantern?" Fang Ruoxi's expression was vague, his face was a lot less bloody, and he asked and answered himself: "The human skin lantern itself is not harmful, but the human skin lantern illuminates the night road, people are watching, ghosts are also watching, provoking ghosts, Changhu Town may have been reduced to ghosts, and hundreds of ghosts walk at night!"
Li Youxiang's teeth chattered, and she was so scared that she was about to cry out again, and said, "Throw it away, throw it away, let's go back quickly." ”
Fang Ruoxi immediately threw the human skin lantern on the ground and stepped on it, and in an instant, darkness enveloped them like a tide.
Fang Ruoxi took out a fire fold and lit it, and pulled Li Youxiang back.
The two of them walked at a fast pace, walking more than a kilometer in a moment.
Fang Ruoxi stopped abruptly and said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, the blacksmith shop is at most five hundred meters away from the inn, how can I not arrive for so long." ”
Raising the fire fold and looking into the distance, you can faintly see that the inn is in front of you, but it is far away.
"Ruoxi, look ......" In vain, Li Youxiang's frightened voice came, Fang Ruoxi looked back, and his hands and feet were completely cold.
I saw a white lantern hanging in front of the blacksmith shop not far away, swaying in the wind.
There was also a broken white lantern on the ground......
"Who hung it up?!" The cold wind blew, and Fang Ruoxi shuddered.
In vain!
There was the sound of children's playful laughter, as if they were singing a ballad, and they couldn't hear the direction.
"Dad is gouging out my eyes, not afraid of the dark, not afraid of the dark......"
"Mom is skinning me, not afraid of pain, not afraid of pain......"
"Mother-in-law is gnawing on my meat, put some salt and vinegar on ......"
