Five-legged Toad_Chapter 100: Boys and Girls
As soon as she came back, the noisy film crew outside was all dumbfounded, revealing a very frightened look.
And the old woman lowered her head and saw the traces of the soil under the jujube tree that had been loosened!
I hurriedly ran out of the house, and at this time, the old woman's eyes had already darkened, and the eerie momentum was simply chilling......
I wanted to explain to the old woman the origin of these people, but the old woman directly lowered her head, just stared at the soil under the big jujube tree, squatted down and touched it, and then raised her head and looked at the group again, obviously with a little hostility.
"Quick, according to what I just said......" The choreographer pushed a staff member.
The staff member was trembling, but he stepped forward and gestured to the old woman.
It turned out that this staff member knew sign language, and he followed the director's meaning, and the director said a word, and he used sign language to "translate" a sentence with the old woman, reported himself to the house, and made clear his intentions, as well as his apologies to the old woman, including also talking about his own difficulties or something.
No wonder after I told the old woman about the situation just now, the group of them were still ready to ask the old woman for directions, it turned out that there were professionals.
The old woman listened to their difficulties, and her face finally eased, and then she nodded, put her back basket away, and gestured with the staff member again.
When the staff saw it, they turned their faces to look at the choreographer as if asking for help, and the choreographer was even more confused and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
The staff said distressedly: "The old woman said, let us stay here, stay one more day, and leave tomorrow, saying that it is looking at the sky, and it has to rain heavily." Boss, look ......."
Seeing the scene under the jujube tree just now, who still wants to stay here, everyone's expressions are very subtle, and they are all staring at the director.
The choreographer was obviously a little surprised, so he said to the staff: "You just say, we are not afraid of rain, as long as we give directions, we will be fine." ”
When I looked up, I did see the morning sun, and at some point, it was covered by clouds again, and it looked like a quadruple of clouds.
I couldn't help but ask Cheng Ke: "What should we do?" This place seems to have something to do with immortality......"
"Since it has something to do with immortality, let's stay and take a look." Cheng Ke raised his head, and the bright peach blossom eyes reflected the dark clouds in the sky, but it was a momentum that was difficult for others to reach: "Everything has me." ”
On that side, the staff got the order of the choreographer, and wanted to compare with the old woman again, who knew that it was impartial, it was really raining in the sky! Moreover, there is a crackling and hail!
Cheng Ke put one hand on my head, pulled me into the house with the other, and said very casually: "What's more, I am reluctant to let you get drenched in the rain." ”
It's a good feeling to be hurt and pampered......
In fact, I have always treated me with a sense of insecurity, and I always feel that all that I have obtained is because of the similarity with the calamus, and what I stole from the calamus is not my own, and I am afraid that I will not be able to keep it after all.
If I can't keep it, I don't dare to invest too much, because I may not be able to accept the kind of empty loss like digging out my heart and lungs.
But now, Cheng Ke's feeling suddenly seems to be integrated into his life, sticking to his flesh and skin, and he is reluctant to part again.
I don't want to part again.
Subconsciously, he clenched Cheng Ke's cold and slender hand, Cheng Ke was slightly stunned, looked at me sideways, and suddenly smiled.
That smile, like the melting of a glacier in spring, is dazzling and beautiful.
"What are you laughing at?" My heart was beating a little fast, wondering, why I couldn't get used to his face after looking at it for so long?
"You're holding my hand for the first time." Cheng Ke's peach blossom eyes narrowed and said, "For this, it's worth adding wine and food." ”
"Alright, don't show affection in front of a single sick dog!" Luo Weilan couldn't bear it anymore and said: "I heard it all, and I guess there is something big about the old woman to leave so many people!" ”
"Big ......" I turned my head sideways, looking at the doorway that was tightly closed by the old woman, and thought to myself, could it have something to do with the owner of the black dog?
The film crew had no choice but to bring the equipment, and at this time they also entered the house with a little embarrassment.
The old woman also came in, helped the group find towels and sent them up, babbling to point out where there was hot water.
I thought to myself, didn't the old woman speak when she fed the inexplicable things under the jujube tree that night! She pretended to be a deaf and dumb person, did she have any own intentions?
But I remembered that day, when there was a knock at the door in the middle of the night, and the old woman was hiding in the cupboard to eat, and she was obviously startled by me, and if she could hear it, she would never have been so caught off guard.
I thought about it, but I didn't come up with anything why, and asked Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke looked lively again, ambiguous, and made people feel very unhappy.
The film crew wiped off their hair and equipment, and one of them held a cup of hot tea brought by the old woman in his hand, but they were all cautious, and no one dared to drink it.
Chu Xue also came over, approached me, and said in a low voice with a little fear: "You said, the old woman left us behind, didn't she, also want to give us away...... Buried under the date tree? ”
I hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, this ...... How to say it, now it is indeed forced by the situation, I have to stay, I can only say, try my best to be vigilant. ”
"You too, keep an eye on it, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." Chu Xue hesitated, even if the old woman was definitely a real deaf and dumb person in front of everyone, she was still afraid that the old woman would hear it, leaning into my ear and saying: "I always feel that everything here is weird, even this rain is so weird, before, it was still a good day!" Could it be, it's the old woman with great powers, and she can even control the rain, right? ”
"That's too mysterious, isn't it? No matter how powerful she is, she is not the Dragon King. I had to say, "But, it's a coincidence......
"What do you two say?" The photographer also squeezed over and said in a panic, "What now?" ”
"What can we two women do?" Chu Xue said a little deflated: "Now, it is completely under the eaves, and I have to bow my head." ”
"Oops!" Luo Weilan, who didn't think about it, saw Chu Xue, but she looked surprised, and she couldn't even take care of the wounds on her body at all, and she struggled to get up: "You ...... Are you the host of Xichuan Tourism Satellite TV? ”
As a result, this struggle affected the wounds on his body, and he grinned in pain.
Only then did Chu Xue notice Luo Weilan, who was covered in injuries, nodded politely, and said, "Hello." ”
"Oh, I'm a fan of yours!" Luo Weilan hurriedly said: "I watch almost every episode of the show you host!" For example, 'Food Nishikawa', 'Lohas Nishikawa', 'Walking Nishikawa' never falls behind......"
Looking at Luo Weilan's appearance like a treasure, I sighed.
Chu Xue probably also felt that it was good to have one more person to accompany her when she was frightened, so in order to distract the nervousness, she chatted with Luo Weilan about the show with the film crew.
I turned my head and saw Cheng Ke's eyes, still following the old woman, and the old woman was silent, bent over, as if she was tossing something in the cupboard.
"What's wrong?" I asked in a low voice.
"There's blood."
Cheng Ke raised his perfectly shaped chin and said, "It seems that there are some more uninvited guests." ”
I swept through this dark and damp hall, and when I looked closely, I saw that this place was indeed shrouded in a faint yin qi, and if I concentrated a little more, I could barely distinguish it, and the yin qi was on the ground, forming a string of footprints.
It is a barefoot footprint, and the arch of the foot is still slightly mutilated, and the marks are very fresh.
I frowned, the detective novels I had read before were swaying in my head, and I remembered that there are three categories of footprints, which are step length, step width, and step angle, which are barefoot, so it should be simpler.
I used to compare them, and the size of my feet and the length of my steps were very similar to mine, but they were a little smaller than mine, and I could see that it must have been left by a woman who was a little shorter than me.
The place where the yin footprints and toes are round and full, it should be, it is a young woman.
I suddenly remembered that the pale ghost in the toilet.
I don't know what the relationship between her and the old woman is.
The branches and leaves of the jujube trees were shaking under the heavy rain, and the mud outside had been smashed into many small craters by the hail.
Luo Weilan took a break from the conversation with the film crew, glanced outside, and muttered: "This weather, it looks like it won't be able to get over for a while......
Hearing his words, the crew members all showed worried looks, only the staff member who bit the date open, with an indifferent expression, as if he was thinking about something.
After staying up in the rain for a day, at night, the old woman was very enthusiastic to lay out the floor for everyone to sleep, and invited me and Chu Xue to live in the same room with her, Chu Xue was frightened like earth, but I was afraid of angering the old woman, to something unwarranted, so I didn't dare to refuse, only put all my hope on me.
Luo Weilan thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Lu Qiao, come here, I'll give you something." ”
I hurriedly walked over: "What? ”
Luo Weilan mysteriously took out a small bottle from his tattered pocket, and said in a low voice: "If you see something, scatter this around the two of you, those things will not touch you." ”
I looked at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke nodded, I knew that he had the bottom in his heart, so I took it and agreed.
The old woman's room, the room where the cupboard was located, could still smell the bloody smell when I sniffed carefully, and I couldn't help but look at the cupboard more.
Lying on the cold reed mat, because I was not with Cheng Ke, I was not used to anywhere, listening to the sound of the rain outside, I sighed unconsciously.
As a result, it didn't matter if I sighed, and Chu Xue didn't know why, she cried all at once, but she didn't dare to let the old woman hear it, so she only suppressed her voice and said in a low voice: "I want to go home." ”
Looking at her tears like a broken thread, I felt uncomfortable, I came to Xichuan for so long, the phone is completely out of power and no network, and my parents, I haven't been in touch for a long time, I can't report safety, I don't know how worried they will be when they come back from traveling, besides, if grandpa talks to my parents about this and that, how scared will they be?
In particular, it was the mother who was bent on hiding in Xichuan in order to escape the identity of the ghost keeper, knowing that her daughter still couldn't escape the fate of this family inheritance, what would she think......
Ay......
But for now, I had no choice but to hold on, relieved Chu Xue and said: "Don't think too much, the rain doesn't stop all your life, tomorrow when the rain stops, let your colleague who can sign language come over, ask the old woman about it, and you will definitely be able to go out." ”
At this point, I deliberately turned my head to the old woman lying beside us and said, "You said yes, right?" ”
But the old woman still turned sideways and said nothing.
The reason why I deliberately asked this question is because it is often said in detective novels that when ordinary people are unprepared and hear others shouting about themselves, their eyes will always react first, blinking or turning.
But I noticed, the old woman had her eyes half-closed, and after listening to me call her, her eyelashes did not flutter a little, and she was indeed inaudible.
The suspicion in my heart is getting deeper and deeper.
Chu Xue said: "You forget, the old woman is deaf and mute. ”
I smiled and said, "I'm a person, really, often confused, tired of the day, sleep, sleep, have a good dream." ”
Chu Xue knew that I was also trying to comfort her, so I had to close my eyes too, maybe the whole day was spent in tension and fear, and finally relaxed a little, and she soon fell asleep.
But I'm really not used to not having Cheng Ke's cold arms, tossing and turning, I can't sleep, Cheng Ke is like a bag of drugs, I can't quit if I get it.
He and I are just separated by a hall, and somehow, I feel as if we are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
He doesn't have me by his side now, will he not be used to it?
The feeling of separation, even if it is so brief, is enough to make people lose sleep.
"Tick ......" Slowly, the rain outside gradually stopped, and it became silent again, and in the distance, in another room, there was a sound of snoring, I don't know who it was.
Suddenly, I felt a little cold inside the house.
Strange, the doors and windows are not closed properly, and the night breeze penetrates?
I opened my eyes, but I froze.
The woman who appeared in the toilet, I don't know when, was standing quietly by the window, bending over, looking down at the three of us lying on the bed!
I didn't dare to breathe a breath, that miserable white face was hanging in front of me!
Moreover, the reason why it is so cold is because she is pouting and inhaling at the top of my head!
"Whew...... Sneer......"
I suddenly had goosebumps all over my body, and I felt that the cool air around me was getting stronger and stronger!
The woman's eyes were hollow, and there was no expression on her pale face, but she was inhaling silently, as if there was an invisible cigarette in her mouth.
...... the hell she What do you want to do?
"Ahem......"
There was a rustling sound in her ears, and the old woman sat up.
She turned her head and looked at the woman, and the voice in her mouth was still whispering, as if she was gossiping with that woman!
The woman was silent, straightened up, and said quietly, "Here they are." ”
What does this mean? Who's coming?
Before I could react, the old woman waved her hand and pointed outside, which seemed to let the woman out, and she took the woman's place and stood in front of me.
I quickly continued to pretend to be asleep without moving.
Sure enough, squinting my eyes, I could see that the old woman's face was poking out in front of me, and a pair of gloomy eyes were staring at me strangely under the black shadows.
Then, with a grin, a low "Yiyi-oh-oh" said a syllable that I didn't understand.
I tried to breathe heavier than usual, and pretended to be asleep, but Chuxue was really asleep, so the old woman looked at it, and didn't see any clues, so she got out of bed with confidence.
Then, there was the sound of the door clattering, and she went out with the woman.
I propped myself up, and through the gap in the window, I saw the rickety body of the old woman, and sure enough, she went under the jujube tree.
And the mysterious woman in white disappeared again.
Could it be that she was devouring my yin qi just now?
Before he could come up with anything, he heard another sound of footsteps, as if he was tiptoeing, from the bedroom where Cheng Ke and them were, and it sounded cautiously.
I frowned, who is it? Is it time to get up at night?
Then, the footsteps came into the hall, and it was the voice of two men, one of whom said timidly, "Boss, is this really possible?" ”
It was the voice of the photographer, I remember him, he seemed to be quite timid.
"Why not." Another voice said, "At this time, either you die or I live!" I am also from Xichuan, and I can see that the Gu stove of this old demon woman's Gu technique is under the big jujube tree, don't you see, she chose to go at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, that is, when the child is in time! It's because the Gu worms are out of the day and night, and now they are happy! ”
The voice...... It's the choreographer! No wonder I saw that the choreographer was a pointer during the day, and I thought he was quite reliable, but I didn't expect that he was really knowledgeable.
"Brother, do you really have this kind of thing in your family?" The photographer's voice trembled: "I always feel that it is a little ......."
"Nonsense, it's because the development in the village is not good, and there is no prospect for raising Gu, so our family moved to the outside of the mountain, but when I was a child, my grandmother raised Gu, and I couldn't be wrong with it." The choreographer's voice was full of confidence: "I can't be mistaken, now she is preparing to harm us!" Strike first, then suffer, you know? ”
"That'...... That's good......" The photographer said cautiously, "but...... Boss, you really don't call Xiao Wang? ”
Xiao Wang is the staff member who bit open the dates during the day and made a fuss.
"Nonsense, what are you calling him for? Bad! Besides, you can't alarm the other guests," although the choreographer's voice was low, it was also full of neutrality: "The women didn't see anything, but the two men, one was sick and crooked, and the other didn't even have a shadow!" Who knows where they came from, maybe they're still ghost keepers! Don't trust them. ”
The choreographer is really powerful, and even Cheng Ke's origin can be seen, but he has always been calm and calm, which is really admirable.
"Well......" The photographer was probably squeezed and had no choice, so he had to say: "Then listen to my brother." You say, what are we going to do? Hold the old woman down from behind? ”
"Well, you saw the old demon woman for a while, and you pressed it first, the Gu raiser won't bend her knees, and if you step on her feet, she won't be able to move," the choreographer said: "Take advantage of this kung fu, I will smash the old demon woman's Gu stove, and she won't be able to harm anyone." ”
"It's all up to the boss." The photographer also seemed to have made up his mind and geared up.
"Well," the choreographer seemed to warm up, "Click......" I only heard the hidden door of the hall open, and the choreographer lowered his voice and said, "Let's go ......"
Just rushed out? I couldn't bear it, I got up, opened the door, and just quietly poked my head out, and crashed into Cheng Ke's arms; "Eh......"
"Don't make a sound," Cheng Ke said, "Let's go and see what is under the jujube tree." ”
"How do you know I'm not asleep?" Seeing Cheng Ke standing in front of me, the short separation was as if it had been a long time, inexplicably, and my heart rejoiced.
"I'm not with you, you must not be used to it." Cheng Ke took my hand and said softly, "I know." ”
He knows, could it be, also because he's like me?
The corners of my lips curled uncontrollably all of a sudden, yes, I'm very happy.
When they arrived at the door, the photographer and the choreographer had already gone under the jujube tree, but the old woman who was still outside just now was gone.
"I'm hungry...... I'm hungry ......" Suddenly, under the jujube tree, that voice came again!
I was stunned for a moment, and then I figured out that the voice yesterday was not from the old woman at all, but from this jar!
The "boss......" photographer looked like that, and his frightened feet were weak: "This ...... How can there be a sound of talking in this tank? ”
"Afraid of what?" The choreographer said in a deep voice: "That must be a human Gu, while the old witch doesn't know where to go, let's quickly open it and burn it for a hundred!" I guess the rain will stop, and we'll be able to go. ”
It turned out that this choreographer was also a spell cast by the old woman in order to keep them.
"It's opened, if something is released, it's too late to regret it," Cheng Ke Qingyue opened his mouth: "I advise you, think clearly." ”
The two people didn't expect us to wake up, so they were naturally startled, the photographer looked at the choreographer tremblingly, and the choreographer stared at us deadly, already looking like a broken boat: "I know, this is the Gu stove, if you break here, the technique will stop immediately, you are a ghost of a ghost raiser, right?" Although we don't have a relationship, we don't have a grudge, we can't, so the old woman left here as fertilizer for the jujube tree! ”
No wonder I can come over to be the choreographer of this "Wu Gu Xichuan", I really know a lot!
As he spoke, the choreographer walked over first and lifted the lid of the vat as if he was afraid that we would stop him!
Suddenly, I heard something was wrong.
This one...... It looks like someone is sweeping the leaves with a broom!
The choreographer looked unbelievable at first, then suddenly closed the lid fiercely, and took a few steps back in horror!
"Boss...... That...... That's ......" The photographer's voice was full of horror: "Is it ......?"
And the choreographer didn't have time to answer, only listened to the sound of "coaxing", and the lid of the jar seemed to have been knocked open by something, and a lot of gray things rushed out of the outside at once, like a tide!
I squinted my eyes, and then I saw clearly, and what came out was actually all gray rats!
So, the "whoosh" sound like sweeping the leaves just now is the sound of rats climbing over? No, the question is, that tank is not big in the first place, where did so many rats come from?
I could see it clearly, those rats were exactly the same as the rats that died under the tree and were taken away by the old woman, they were all shriveled and slender, extremely malnourished, clearly like dried corpses, shaking their thin four legs, opening their mouths full of white teeth, and running fast and fast!
"Twitter......" Those mice rushed over happily and pounced on the photographer and choreographer, but the photographer and choreographer couldn't dodge it, and they all fell to the ground at once!
I hurriedly ran over, took out the small bottles given by Luo Weilan, sprinkled the contents on the side of the photographer and the director, formed a small circle, and stood in it myself.
Inside the bottle, it is a kind of medicinal powder with a strong aroma, yellow-brown, worthy of Luo Weilan, it is really very effective, those mice touched the medicinal powder, all as if they were poisoned, and immediately turned their bellies and did not move.
But you can't stop some of the rats, but you can't stop all the mice, and the rats are like crazy and go to the little house!
Cheng Ke ...... "I quickly threw the small medicine bottle to Cheng Ke."
Cheng Ke's slender hand was raised, and he had already taken the small medicine bottle, and his white fingers clenched the bottle very neatly, and sprinkled the medicine powder on the door.
The powder was like an impassable dam, and as soon as the rats passed, they died on the outside of the powder.
At the same time, I found that the tails of those rats seemed to have something green hanging on them, and it couldn't be wrong, it was the yin qi!
As soon as the yin qi touched the medicinal powder, it immediately went out like a lamp, and at the same time, the rat did not move.
After a while, the corpses of the rats, piled up like a hill in front of the powder, were all silent.
I exhaled and said to Cheng Ke: "This kind of thing is sold as rat poison, it must be a lot of money!" ”
Cheng Ke turned his head sideways and said, "This is not a poison, it's just a pure yin powder that absorbs yin qi, These rats were originally dried corpses, and they were driven by Gu magic to come out and jump." ”
I was taken aback, which means, this is a rat zombie?
The photographer and the choreographer were trembling in fright, and they were about to speak, when suddenly the door suddenly opened by themselves.
Cheng Ke turned his head sideways, showing a very interested look.
I followed Cheng Ke's eyes and looked over, but found that what was outside the door was not an old woman, but a large group of strange teenagers and girls.
Those boys and girls stood neatly, as if they were queuing up for some kind of welcome ceremony, and they looked neat, but they were extremely weird.
