Chapter 038: The White Liar and the Cloth Cake (12)
Bai Ze didn't speak, and his silence just showed that Bai Li's guess was right.
"Hu Niang has become a leech?" Bai Li silently walked to the hole in the wall and looked out again, it was dark everywhere he looked, and it was very quiet outside, and he didn't know what the situation was.
"Li'er, are you okay?"
"In the morning, after I left the temple, did something happen to the temple again? The last time we saw Hu Niang, the black hole behind her was not so big, and she only wanted to see her child again, she knew that her child was somewhere in Huaxi Town, how could she suddenly become a leech and eat people everywhere. β
"Something did happen." Bai Ze walked over and held Bai Li's hand: "Don't get excited, listen to me slowly." β
"I'm not excited, can you see I'm excited? I'm just wondering, this is so good, how did Hu Niang become a leech. Say, tell me what happened in this temple after I left. β
"One man died." Bai Ze pursed his lips: "At that time, I was eating the red oil you gave me, and suddenly I heard someone shouting outside, and I vaguely seemed to hear that someone was dead, so I put down the bamboo tube and went out to take a look." As a result, Li'er, guess what I saw? I saw a pot-bellied man, or rather a pot-bellied old man, lying on the ground, straight and motionless, looking like he was dying. β
"No life is no life, what does it mean to be like no life."
"It just looks like he's dead." Bai Ze explained, pulling Bai Li back from the hole in the broken wall: "When I didn't get to him, I looked like he was dead, and I didn't confirm that he was indeed dead until I got to him." According to the townspeople, this man came over suddenly, and suddenly fell at the gate of the temple. β
"Sudden death!"
"What does sudden death mean?"
"It means sudden death, which may have triggered some kind of disease in the body."
"Oh, that's what it means." Bai Ze sighed lightly, and continued: "That person does seem to have died suddenly, except for his pale face, there are no other wounds on his body. Keli'er, guess who was the person who died in front of the temple of the temple? β
"Didn't you just say that it's a pot-bellied old man."
"It's the official master, the official who killed Hu Niang's husband, killed Hu Niang, and let Hu Niang and his son live and die. Oh, of course, he wasn't an official when he died. He resigned not long after Hu Niang's death, and after resigning, relying on the wealth accumulated when he was an official, he lived a life of being rich and unkind. What is strange is that this ordinary person will return to his hometown with honor when he resigns, but this official master still stays in Huaxi Town. β
"It's not surprising, because he made his fortune here, and there must be his intertwined relationship here, and it's better to stay in Huaxi Town than to go back to his ancestral hometown."
"Li'er, you're not wrong to say that, but I've heard people say that the reason why this official didn't leave Huaxi Town was because he didn't dare to leave Huaxi Town. Of course, these are all things that I have heard casually, and I can't take them seriously. In short, to put it simply, the official who killed Hu Niang back then died, and died outside the Yiyi Temple. β
"Hu Niang, that's why she went crazy because of this?"
"No, Hu Niang, she is not an immortal who can pinch and calculate, how could she know that her former enemy died outside the Yiyi Temple. If she had this ability, she would have found her son a long time ago, so why bother asking Li'er for you. Bai Zegang wanted to shake his head, met Bai Li's gaze, and hurriedly continued: "It's those townspeople, some of them recognized this official master, so they shouted that it was Hu Niang who did it, and also said that the person who always cried every night in the Yiyi Temple was Hu Niang, saying that Hu Niang finally couldn't help but take revenge." I don't know who started first, but he instigated everyone to carry the body of the official into the Yiyi Temple, and put it under the statue of the leech. Remember what I told you before? The clay sculpture of Hu Niang's husband is next to the statue of the leech god, Hu Niang's husband, who has never left the temple for many years, is guarding her husband. When she saw those townspeople, she showed her form, and those villagers were afraid of her, shouting and running around, somehow angering Hu Niang, and the rest of the matter was a little uncontrollable. β
"Where's my master? What about Old Man Tao? Forget it, in addition to eating, my master just likes to watch the excitement, and finally there is a lively to see, so he is too lazy to care. β
"Li'er really knows her own master very well. What about me, in Li'er's heart, what kind of person am I? Bai Ze leaned over to Bai Li.
"A liar, a white liar who deceives people." Bai Li glanced at him angrily: "What now?" Are we going to hide in this house all the time? If the leech that Hu Niang turned into eats the entire people of Huaxi Town, then we won't be able to run away? What if her appetite grew bigger and bigger, and she ate all the people in the towns next to Huaxi Town? β
"Let's hide for a while, maybe this whole thing will turn around."
"Turnaround, it's all dark like this outside, what else can there be a turnaroundβthere really has to be a turnaround, white liar, look, it's dawn outside." Before Bai Li finished speaking, she noticed the change in the sky outside, and she hurriedly pulled Bai Ze to the front of the broken door: "Look, is the black fog dispersed?" β
"Go out and have a look."
"Good!" Bai Li pushed open the door, and saw that the street seemed to have been ransacked, and even the eaves of the house were damaged.
"White liar, how big is this leech?"
"How big do you see?"
"I saw ......" Bai Li gestured with his hand: "I didn't see the whole picture, I only saw a part, and I didn't think it was particularly huge at the time." β
"Let's not talk about that, let's go check it out." Bai Ze pointed straight ahead: "There are still some demonic qi over there, where should Hu Niang be." β
Bai Li nodded, lifted the corner of her skirt, and ran over after Bai Ze.
At the end of the street, there was a man standing. It's Hu Niang, she is still wearing the same clothes that Bai Li wore when she saw her last time, but there is no black hole behind her. Opposite her, stood a group of armored warriors, armed with golden shields and golden spears. The armor of these samurai is black, and the faces are all wearing uniform masks with hollow patterns, which are a little far away from each other, and they are not really visible.
Hu Niang stood calmly, but the armored warriors opposite were extremely vigilant.
"Shhhh When they were about to get close to Hu Niang and them, Bai Ze suddenly pulled Bai Li around and ran into a remote alley.
