Chapter 188: Something is wrong
After successfully burying the runes, I followed the swarthy man back home.
After that, I sat quietly on a chair at the door, my eyes constantly observing the sky of the mass grave not far away.
I only found that on the mass grave I went, the black clouds that should have been floating above had gradually turned into white clouds due to the influence of a force.
Come to think of it, the rich yin qi that permeated the sky above the mass grave on weekdays is now being continuously absorbed by the blue runes I buried underground.
If my prediction is correct, by the time I go to retrieve the runes in the evening, I will not feel the slightest yin in the mass grave.
Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth not only flashed with a faint joy, but then I closed my eyes, collapsed on the chaise longue behind me, and fell asleep.
The moment I woke up from my sleep, I was completely awakened by the alluring smell of rice.
The glaring sky before me, which should have been dazzling, had now been replaced by a gloomy black, and the moon, the only thing illuminated in the night sky, had not appeared tonight.
I didn't pay much attention to it, and at the moment I ran into the house behind me with salivation, and went to eat the food that released the enticing smell.
After a beautiful meal, I left my cousin's house alone and went to the former mass grave in the darkness of the night.
According to his previous memory, he found the location where the rune was buried, and then used a small shovel in his hand to dig up the covering soil buried on it.
I only saw that the two originally dull turquoise runes, after absorbing the rich yin qi around them, changed so dazzlingly, and they were still releasing turquoise blue glow in the dark night sky.
Slowly stretched out his palm and took out the runes in the shallow pit one by one.
I only felt that the moment the two runes were in hand, a cold touch like ice cubes immediately hit my palm.
And all the way to my entire arm, causing my arm to go numb at this moment.
It's not very comfortable, but I'm very happy about it.
Because, I know very well that the higher the coldness of the rune in my hand, it means that it absorbs more yin qi.
And in the case of strong yin qi, the power of this rune can be exerted to the extreme.
After suppressing the joy in my heart a little, I hurriedly put the rune in my hand into my pocket, and then left the mass grave with a stagger.
Now, I checked the time on my phone and found that it was 8:20 p.m.
This was the perfect time to go to Xiao Lizi's house to check on the oddities, so after returning to my cousin's house, I immediately took some necessary utensils that I had prepared during the day and went to Xiao Lizi's house at the east end of the village with the old man with a bowback
"Old man, the one with the lights on in front is Xiao Lizi's house?" At this moment, I did not move forward immediately, but raised my hand to the brightly lit household, and immediately asked in a low voice.
And after hearing my inquiry, the hunchbacked old man responded to me timidly: "That's right, that's Xiao Lizi's home, you can go alone, I'm going to go, I'm old, it's better not to see some things." ”
"Okay, I know, you don't want to go, I'll go alone." At this moment, I know very well what the old man with a bow back means by what he said.
After all, the other party is already old, and if he repeatedly sees something that makes him panic, his spirit will inevitably be greatly impacted.
And after that, what was reflected on his body was not as simple as scaring him into a cold sweat.
After seeing the hunched old man return to his home smoothly, I walked to the door of Xiao Lizi's house alone, and raised my hand to knock on the wooden door in front of me.
The moment I heard the crisp knock on the door, I immediately felt a strange sensation all around me, as if there were countless hands on your body that were clutching you and making you unable to move.
Thankfully, the feeling only lasted for a second before it disappeared, but even so, it drew my attention to the house in front of me.
It seems that what exists in this house is definitely not as simple as I imagined.
Soon, the door in front of me was opened by a thin and short man, and when he saw me, his expression suddenly became nervous, and he said eagerly: "Xiao, Xiaoou, you, you, why are you back?" ”
"Me? Didn't you hear that you have dirty things in your house? I'm not going to come and see, quick, let me in. With that, I dodged the obstruction from Xiao Lizi, and then walked before him towards his inner room.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Lizi had no choice but to follow me closely behind, and kept explaining to me: "Let me tell you, Xiao Ou, those are all rumors in the village, they are rumors at all, you can't believe it, you can't believe it." ”
Even though Xiao Lizi is trying to explain to me behind me that there is nothing wrong with his family, I think that the more he says this, the more it proves that there is a problem hidden in his family, and it may not be a small problem.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I know your house is fine, I can have a meal at your house." After that, I smiled awkwardly at Xiao Lizi, and immediately rushed into the main hall of his house.
I felt that the moment I entered the main hall, a strange aura immediately rushed out of the door and hit my body.
Luckily, I had expected this before I was ready to go inside.
So, the moment I pushed the door in, I was already blocking my breathing.
In this way, the strange smell in the house will not be able to affect my body through my snort.
And when my eyes were condensed, I suddenly realized that in addition to Xiao Lizi's parents, my cousin was actually sitting in the house at the moment. Moreover, he was sitting alone at the table, holding a wine glass with a happy face, as if he was about to drink with Xiao Lizi's father.
"Cousin, why are you here?" At this time, I was really shocked by the scene in front of me.
I remember that when I said that I was going to come to Xiao Lizi's house, my cousin shirked with me, saying that Xiao Lizi's house was not clean, and that Xiao Lizi's house had ghosts, and that after I went, it might become the same state as my cousin's aunt.
Everything he said to me at that time was so serious, so serious, that I couldn't help but believe him.
But now, he came to Xiao Lizi's house one step ahead of me, and sat in front of Xiao Lizi's father with a wine glass, looking very happy, which is really suitable for the previous cousin to judge the two.
"Me? Eh, isn't it a long time since I've met Lao Li? I happen to be free tonight, so I'll stop by for a drink. With that, the cousin turned around and touched the wine glass in his hand with Xiao Lizi's father's wine glass, and then drank all the wine in the glass.
"What's the matter, Xiao Ou, why don't you sit down and have a drink." He looked at me standing at the door with an indifferent face, and my cousin took a clean wine glass from the side and put it in front of an empty seat, and whispered to me.
"That's right, Xiaoou, you haven't been here with your Uncle Li for a long time, today, let's have a drink." As he spoke, Xiao Lizi had already come to the door and sent me directly to the vacant seat.
There's no way, now I, if I forcibly refuse, it is estimated that both parties will not be able to save face.
Therefore, in desperation, I could only sit in the empty seat, and picked up the wine glass that had been filled with liquor, and politely saluted the two elders in front of me.
"Xiao Ou, you don't have to worry about our family's affairs, and you don't need to invite that goddess or the like, everything is just a false alarm, and there are no ghosts at all." After I drank the wine in the cup, Xiao Lizi's father glanced at me in front of me with a bitter face, and then explained in a low voice.
"Really? Is there really no ghostly haunting? "Hearing the words from Xiao Lizi's father's mouth, the doubts in my heart did not decrease but increased.
"That's right, everything is a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." At this moment, Xiao Lizi's father took advantage of his strength to drink, and he sang a little song with joy on his face.
The tune is so leisurely, so pleasant, but now I don't have the heart to listen to any little songs.
Because I know very well that there is absolutely something unclean in this house.
Otherwise, when I came in just now, there wouldn't have been such a thick yin qi.
As for why the two Li family members in front of me want to hide this, I don't know.
"Xiao Ou, wait a minute, there is still a dish that will come up soon." While talking, Xiao Lizi's father got up from the bench and walked all the way into the kitchen not far away.
I took this opportunity to tug at my cousin's clothes next to me, and immediately asked eagerly: "Cousin, what's the matter with you, aren't you cowardly?" Why is it suddenly here now? ”
"Eh, Xiaoou, haven't you heard from others! Everything is a misunderstanding, and the ghost thing is completely fictional. Looking at my nervous appearance, my cousin was a little impatient.
"Whether you believe it or not, there's something wrong in this house anyway, so be careful." Although the other party is constantly refuting my words, he is just an ordinary person after all, and it is normal for him to be deceived by some rhetoric.
Soon, Xiao Lizi's father walked out of the kitchen with a plate of hot dishes that had just come out of the pot, and said as he walked: "Xiao Ou, this is your favorite back pot meat, try it." ”
When the dishes were served, my cousin picked up his chopsticks and pinched them.
But the moment he stretched out his hand, I immediately stopped him and whispered to him: "Cousin, don't eat it, something is wrong in this dish, the meat in this dish is wrong." (To be continued.) )
