Chapter 20 The wood carving seems to be alive
After this series of fatal events, the sky began to brighten.
And Zhang Mung Bean held a knife in both hands, and his feet kept shuttling through this wood. But because she couldn't breathe, her mouth was wide open, and the scene was a little funny.
Although she was uncomfortable like this, her eyes were still looking around, looking for an opportunity to solve the current crisis, she didn't want to be gnawed to death here!
It's miserable.
And some of those souls were running very fast, and when they were about to approach her body, they quickly separated their 'hands' from their translucent bodies, directly wrapped around one of Zhang Mung Bean's feet and neck, and pulled hard.
Zhang Mung Bean's whole body threw forward, and there was a hot pain in her hand, she didn't even think about it, and turned around with a knife. Solve the problem of grabbing her, and then stumble up, and run forward without looking at the road.
Then her feet were empty.
"Ahhh!!hhh
She didn't expect that there was a very flat stone road next to it, how could there be a ramp next door!
At this moment, she was on this ramp, her feet as if she hadn't stepped on solid ground, and she rushed forward uncontrollably, and the broken hair on her forehead was blown to the back of her head by the wind.
The slope was also lined with trees, and many of the sticking branches were pumping on her face, so that she couldn't open her eyes.
Thankfully, she didn't step on anything that could trip her along the way.
With sparks and lightning galloping all the way, her feet finally landed on the flat ground.
But the momentum that carried her forward did not go away, and she continued to rush forward until she entered a dilapidated and dimly lit room with an open door, and held a table with her hands on it.
She turned her head to stare behind her, making sure no soul had come up, and then she inserted Shen Po back into the scabbard. I thought of what Du Huangyan said, those souls can't get in if you close the doors and windows.
She quickly turned to close it, then slowly sat down by touching the door, her head pressed against the door and gasping for air.
I don't know why, but I've been getting more and more out of breath after a few steps recently, as if someone grabbed my head and pressed it into the water.
Half-closed in her eyes, a thin veil floated over, gently pressed against her face, and then fell to the wounds of her soul outside her.
What is it?
Zhang Mung Bean subconsciously reached out to grab the red tulle, sat up straight, and looked forward along the veil in his hand......
I saw a wood carving in front of me draped in tulle, graceful, lifelike and quite Dunhuang style.
Although Zhang Mung Bean is curious, according to the experience of the stories in the books she reads, if she takes the initiative to read or touch them, what will definitely happen.
So, she didn't bother with the wood carving. She stood up and rested on the old wooden bench by the window. The eyes glanced out from time to time, and those spirits seemed to have disappeared, and none of them chased after them......
It's weird.
Even so, she planned to take a breath here and leave the house immediately.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Zhang Mung Bean instantly became alert.
"It's ...... Anyone?"
It's an unfamiliar voice.
Zhang Mung Bean looked left and right, and quickly found a corner to hide.
Then, they were opened.
Two figures appeared in the doorway, and they looked inside the room to make sure no one had entered, and closed the door again.
"Brother, I said don't come!"
"You know what! This thing is worth a lot of money right now!"
"But this is her ......"
"Because it's hers, she's poisoned herself, and this wooden carving of hers is worth a lot!" With that, he walked in, making a gesture to move, but was dragged by another man.
Zhang Mung Bean was worried that he would be discovered, and his body kept shrinking back. After seeing the two men clearly, her eyes were about to fly out.
How do these two look exactly the same?!
Her eyes followed the two people, and finally stopped at the wood carving, I don't know if it was dazzling or what, Zhang Mung Bean felt that this wood carving seemed to have changed its dancing posture.
"Brother. Let's go! This town is full of spirits, even if it's daytime, what about the night? Can you guarantee that she won't come to take revenge? She won't let us go! Let's go!"
"Have you ever seen a soul kill someone? Besides, if she dies like that, she will definitely be angry, and she can't take her last breath, and her soul won't leave her body at all!
As he spoke, the man began to move the wooden carving, dressed in a magnificent exotic costume.
Zhang Mung Bean stared at the two with wide eyes, trying to see any difference between the two, but she could tell the difference in clothes.
One wears white and the other wears black, but both of them look quite gentle.
"Brother, don't move her!" the one in white pulled the wood carving, and didn't let the other one move away.
"I said you were playing the piano and your brain was roundabout! Don't move! Are you distressed?"
"I'm not ......"
"It's not that it's over, when we sell this, we'll have money. This money is enough for us to have a while at ease. Isn't that bad?" said the black-clad man who pushed away the white-clad one.
"But ......" The man in white looked at the wood carving, his face embarrassed.
"Can you not be so hesitant? She's not the first to be deceived by us, and she's not the last. We can't live anymore now, so what do we care about? Besides, if she dies, she can still contribute to us, and it's too late for her to be happy. Let's go. ”
This time, he picked up the wood carving, and the white clothes were not in the way, and let him go.
"Brother, do you think that the eyebrows and eyes of this wood carving are like they are alive......" The white clothes chased after him, staring at the face of the wood carving.
"Tsk. I said, why do you have so many things to do? If this wooden carving is alive, you can ask her to dance for me......" When he walked behind the door with the wooden carving, the wooden door was kicked open from the outside.
"Come out for me. "It was Li Yinkong who kicked the door. After kicking the door, he found that there were two dumbfounded people behind the door, "Why do you look exactly the same?"
Zhang Mung Bean, who was hiding in the shadows, held his forehead, did he come to save people or tie them up?
"Why did this chivalrous man kick the door of my house?" When the black-clothed man saw someone, he immediately turned into a crepe look, that is, he was carrying a piece of wood carving.
"I'm here to find someone. ”
Hearing this, the two brothers looked at each other.
Who else is there but them?
Li Yinkong didn't bother to deal with them anymore, and walked straight in, calling her name all the time.
Zhang Mung Bean sighed, and in desperation, he slowly stood up from the darkness and walked out.
The two brothers looked at the girl who suddenly appeared with a shocked expression. The two of them simply exchanged glances, and the content of their conversation just now was probably heard by her.
Zhang Mung Bean didn't look directly at the two people, deliberately turned his head to the side and walked past them.
"Xiaohong, let's go. ”
At this time, Zhang Mung Bean thought that if he went fast enough at this time, nothing would happen.
"Who are the two in that room?"
"I don't know the truth, I don't know. What about that uncle?" Zhang Mungdou looked left and right, but he didn't notice him.
"We're going to look for you separately. Li Yinkong looked around, "He's weird, be careful." ”
"Then when we catch some more souls, follow him to the 'soul market' and sell them, take the silver taels, and then go our separate ways. And then go ahead and find out what these patterns mean, and find the people......"
Li Yinkong's gaze fell on her lightly, "Are you still hiding something from me?"
"What can I hide from you?"
"Just ask. ”
Zhang Mung Bean tried his best to pretend that nothing happened, but his heart was beating wildly.
