Chapter 4 The Ghost Daughter-in-law Who Dragged Her Feet
After reading the note, I suspected that Ruan Lin had something wrong with her brain, which made me doubt my grandfather and uncle? It's ridiculous. As for the ghost daughter-in-law, her origin is not clear, so she can't talk about it, so she has to keep her heart.
In the few seconds of delay, the note suddenly smoked and spontaneously combusted, turning into ashes in my hand, and strangely the skin did not feel the burning, which showed that paper and ink were not ordinary things.
Seeing that I didn't believe me, Ruan Lin whispered, "The note was left by your father five years ago. ”
I deliberately frowned, but I didn't care in my heart, my grandfather and uncle have held me as a treasure in their hands since I was a child, even if I really did something harmful to me, I believe it was a last resort. However, she mentioned her father five years ago many times, which made me look forward to it a little more.
It's a pity that Ruan Lin doesn't plan to continue, if I show urgency, I will leave a handle for myself, so I can't be in a hurry.
It's just before dawn, the stars are dim, and the night is at its darkest. I weighed the ruler and prepared to go back first, and wait until dawn.
But at this moment, there was a sudden fluttering sound in the sky, and then black shadows continued to fall on the roof of the second uncle, and a pair of blood-red eyes flashed in the darkness, and at the same time let out a strange smile like a human.
I pulled out the flashlight from my waist and looked at it, and I saw that the roof was densely covered with crows.
"Turn it off!" Seeing this, Ruan Lin rushed over and wanted to grab the flashlight, but it was too late, and under the beam of light, the crows suddenly exploded and flew around. At the same time, there was a sharp whistle from the direction of my grandfather's house, and the crows flying around immediately turned around and pounced on us.
There were flocks of crows, and I could only swing the scythe in my hand and split the few that rushed in front of me in half. The strange thing is that after the dead crow fell to the ground, black smoke emitted and turned into two pieces of black paper in an instant. Seeing this, my scalp was numb, and I shouted at Ruan Lin: They are made of paper.
Before the voice fell, several black shadows rushed up from behind, it was Ruan Lin's Seven Smiling Corpses. They flutter their arms and make a howling sound, tearing flocks of crows to shreds. As soon as the situation improved, there was another scream in the distance, and the crows became even more irritable, abandoning me and Ruan Lin, and surrounding the seven laughing corpses.
I was afraid of the Seven Laughing Corpses, but I also knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so I went over to help with my scythe, but before I could take two steps, my ankle was tripped over, and I fell into the mud, and the scythe flew out of my hand. I just happened to see a white hand, sneakily releasing from my ankle.
Who else can there be if it's not a ghost daughter-in-law?
Out of sight and out of mind, she hid and hid, but every time she came out to make a trip, it aroused my anger all of a sudden, and I was about to ignore Ruan Lin's scolding, when I suddenly saw a white bone rushing out of the crow flock, and fell to the ground after two steps.
In the fluttering sound, there were white bones falling out continuously, and they were the seven laughing corpses that had just rushed over, and they were gnawed flesh and blood by the paper crows in a moment. Ruan Lin's face turned pale, and she rushed over to pull me up and run, but after only two steps, the two of them stopped at the same time and retreated in fear.
At the intersection in front of me, there were two people kneeling in filial piety clothes, and Bai Shengsheng's clothes were particularly conspicuous in the dark, just blocking the way. Seeing the crows coming, Ruan Lin was also very nervous, and it could be seen that she had no choice but to lose the Seven Laughing Corpses.
"Boom!" The person kneeling on the left laughed strangely, untied a copper basin from his back, and the other person cooperated to take out a dark coin and put it into the basin without fire. The flames burst out, the crows laughed, and the servants flew towards the copper basin one after another, and they were lit one after another. By the light of the fire, I could see the faces of the two of them, and the faces of the people on the left were pitted, intertwined, and hideous.
On the right is a young man, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, his eyes shining in the firelight, staring and laughing. In an instant, thousands of paper crows rushed into the basin and burned to ashes.
Although the paper crow was gone, my heart was in my throat, because the whistling sound of the control crow may have come from them, Ruan Lin immediately put on a posture as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Li Canghai's old dog is running fast!" The man with the rotten face spoke, and his voice was more terrifying than his face, like two pieces of rusty iron rubbing. The little white face next to him continued angrily: "I caught the little one, I'm not afraid that he won't come out." ”
Li Canghai is my grandfather's name, and the little one is naturally me. Their methods are strange, I have never seen them, but when it comes to the head, I am afraid that I can't remember it, so naturally I will not be restrained, and I glared at the two of them and tightened the ruler in my hand.
But the daughter-in-law who ran away said in my mind at this time: "Tell me the words left on the yellow paper, and I will save you." ”
She can't see the words on it? This is just right, so that I don't have to worry about the above words that will anger her. It's just that I don't know if the note was left by my father, so it's impossible for me to tell her.
I was threatened in times of crisis, and I was so angry that I had nowhere to vent, and she continued: "If you don't say it, I'll watch you die, and I will do what I say." ”
Her last sentence was sonorous and powerful, and if she was outside, I was afraid that she would have to put on a high posture. I was angry, and lowered my voice and said, "You and I are husband and wife, and I will admit it if I really want to see death or not save me." ”
Husband and wife share hardships, it is a real family, not to mention that the purpose of my marriage is to let her protect me, and now I am coerced in turn, and it is sad to think about it.
I only hummed it in my throat, but she still heard it clearly, and snorted coldly: "You hide everything from me, what kind of husband and wife, what kind of family, not to mention are you worthy?" ”
I was embarrassed in the first two sentences, and I had the urge to tell her, but when I heard the last sentence, I remembered that the second uncle had said lukewarmly that she didn't look down on me, so I gritted my teeth and said, "Just look at it!" ”
We talked for a short time, and when we came back to our senses, the fire in the copper basin had been extinguished, and at this time, the sky was bright, and two strange people blew on the copper basin at the same time, and all the paper ashes flew out, floating in the air and unpredictable, and suddenly two black iron chains flew out of it, heading straight for me and Ruan Lin.
Ruan Lin was the first to be entangled, but her ten fingers flew, and there was an instant light on her body, blocking the chain half a meter away. I don't have the ability to do this, and the ghost daughter-in-law doesn't care, she waved the ruler in her hand a few times, and the chain wrapped me around my arm.
I was thinking about whether to surrender or not, when the sight of my eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and the blood all over my body rushed towards my eyes, so that my eyeballs were about to burst, and I screamed in pain, and the chain was released instantly. However, in less than half a second, the ball began to spin and was unusually hot, quickly suppressing the upsurge of blood. The black chains were like worms, and they tied me up again.
Ruan Lin's situation was also not good, after resisting for a few seconds, there was a crisp sound between his ten fingers, and a golden light spread out, and then he was also bound by the black chains.
The dogs barked constantly under the mountain, the sky was bright, the two quickly put away the copper basin, and the rotten-faced man came to the bones of the seven laughing corpses, threw two talismans, and blue flames immediately appeared on the white bones, turning into a pile of white ash after a few seconds.
The little white face came over and smiled evilly, opened his mouth and spat at me and Ruan Lin, and it was suddenly pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't open his mouth to speak, and then his body floated up, moving quickly in a certain direction.
I secretly said that it was terrible, and that I fell into their hands, and I could not tell what sin I would suffer. However, I don't have the ability, and if I want to get out, I can only ask for a ghost daughter-in-law.
As soon as she thought about this question, her voice sounded in her head again, and she asked indifferently, "Have you thought about it?" ”
When I heard her voice, I became angry, and swore in my heart that I would not compromise with her even if I died. Besides, two weirdos want to lure my grandfather out, maybe he can save me.
But after thinking about it, Grandpa, Second Uncle and Third Uncle left in a hurry, I'm afraid they were avoiding them, and they lost me to the ghost daughter-in-law, and they won't come back. Thinking like this, he was discouraged and pinned his hopes on Ruan Lin, hoping that she would have a way to get out.
After an unknown amount of time in the dark, he was suddenly thrown to the ground, and then he was lifted up again, and placed on a soft and warm object, and then his vision returned to normal.
I hurriedly closed my eyes, and it took a few seconds to open them, and it looked like a cave around me, and I could see the entrance of the cave, Ruan Lin was right under me, and the two of them were tied face to face. The two strangers didn't look at us much, the rotten man hung a copper bell at the entrance of the cave, and the little white face took out a piece of yellow paper, which spontaneously combusted without fire, and turned into a black crow after emitting black smoke, flapping its wings and flying out of the cave, and the two of them immediately left in a hurry.
Ruan Lin was still in a coma, I moved my body, my face was suddenly hot, and I hurriedly raised my head to avoid intimate contact with her. The ghost daughter-in-law manifested, and with a slight wave of her hand, my mouth opened.
As soon as she could speak, she asked, "Have you thought about it?" I can't ask too much! “
Her request was not excessive, but the words sounded harsh, but at the moment no one could count on it except her, and remembering the oath she had made, she could only snort euphemistically: "In exchange, you tell me what they are looking for!" ”
I thought it was something on my chest at first, but now it doesn't look like it, otherwise the two weirdos would ask like Ruan Lin, but from the time they were caught until now, not only did they not ask, but they didn't even look at the shroud and ruler on my body, so it can be seen that the thing is not on me.
The ghost daughter-in-law squatted down in front of me, although she didn't see her face, but she was like an orchid, and she could smell a faint body fragrance, without the slightest ghost shadow, but like a living person.
"It's not that I don't tell you, it's that if you say it, you'll be in danger!" The ghost daughter-in-law's voice was soft, with a bit of charm, and she sighed lightly and said, "But I can tell you that what they are looking for is not in you, nor in your grandfather, you were just born, and it was taken away by your parents." ”
I frowned slightly, remembering what my grandfather said when he begged her, and asked, "Is it that my parents took that thing away, which is of great benefit to you, and you are willing to protect me in order to repay the favor?" ”
The ghost daughter-in-law nodded, and there was always a mist on her face. I suspect she's ugly and unsightly. I asked sharply: "Since this is the case, have you done what you promised my grandfather?" ”
