Chapter 382: Treachery
"Why did it stop?"
In front of the compound of the village committee, Lu Xiaoyu, who had already stepped in with one foot, seemed to feel something, suddenly paused, tilted his head, and put on a listening posture.
"I don't know!"
I shook my head, last night, Lu Xiaoyu was not like this.
After waiting for a while, Lu Xiaoyu still maintained this posture, looking at the criss-crossing face that was sewn, I was inexplicably a little distressed.
Lu Xiaoyu's face, with only two cheeks, is a bit of a good place.
Her eyes were sewn very miserably, some of the stitches penetrated from the eyebrows, directly to the lower eyelids, and some of the stitches crossed the entire eyelids, one by one from the crisscrossed stitches, Lu Xiaoyu's eyes were sewn in a mess, and they couldn't see the original appearance at all.
Similar to the eyes, the mouth is also the same, the stitches do not have any regularity, crisscrossing the mouth is extremely terrifying.
If you don't look at anything else, just from the situation of the stitches, you can know that the person who stitches down hated Lu Xiaoyu very much.
The reason is very simple, if you are simply afraid, then the stitches are messy and sparse, but the stitches on Lu Xiaoyu's eyes and mouth are messy, but they are very dense.
The person who stitched it with his hand did two rounds of sewing back and forth, and in the case of the mouth, some of the stitches even came out of Lu Xiaoyu's chin.
In addition to the mouth, Lu Xiaoyu's nose was also sewn up.
The stitches start at the base of the nose and work all the way down to the nostrils.
This is not the so-called closed five senses at all, this is purely venting anger.
The criss-crossing stitches occupy more than sixty percent of the entire face, making it impossible to recognize Lu Xiaoyu's original appearance.
In addition to her face, her ears were also sewn on.
One by one, the stitches passed through the pinna and went out on the cheeks, making way for Xiaoyu's face, which was not complete, to be occupied by stitches again.
Therefore, today's road is light rain, you can't see, you can't speak, you can't smell, you can't hear.
Because of this, I felt strange when Lu Xiaoyu made a gesture of listening.
"Brother-in-law, it's moving!"
After listening for more than a minute, Lu Xiaoyu finally moved, she turned around and walked out of the yard directly.
"See!" I nodded.
"Brother-in-law, come along and have a look, we can't be spectators, right?" Liu Ling Tongzi rubbed his hands and said with some excitement.
I didn't speak, but looked at Situ Qing and asked, "Situ, what do you think?" β
"You can follow along!"
Situ Qing said.
I was stunned for a moment, I thought Situ Qing would disagree, but I didn't expect her to agree.
"Then follow along!"
I immediately came back to my senses and whispered.
Having made a decision, a few of us quickly went downstairs and chased after us.
Lu Xiaoyu's speed was not fast, even a little slow, and it didn't take much effort for a few of us to catch up with her.
For the tracking of a few of us, Lu Xiaoyu didn't notice anything, and still walked slowly.
We didn't follow too closely, and kept a distance of about fifteen meters from Lu Xiaoyu.
Following along, I found that every time Lu Xiaoyu walked, he made a gesture of listening, as if someone was saying something in his ear!
This is very strange, but it also shows that Lu Xiaoyu is controlled by people.
Lu Xiaoyu just took a few of us around the village, and we could see that Lu Xiaoyu did not have a specific destination.
Ten minutes had passed since I came out with her.
In the past ten minutes, Lu Xiaoyu has stopped in front of the two courtyards before and after, and every time she stops, she will look at the courtyard with her face, as if judging whether there is anyone in the courtyard.
"Meow!"
When Lu Xiaoyu stopped for the third time, a terrible cat meow sounded in the yard where she stayed, and a pitch-black shadow rushed out of the yard.
"Whew!"
Lu Xiaoyu made a sound of unknown meaning from his throat, and his feet were abruptly blocked, and he chased out.
"There's someone in there!"
Situ Qing suddenly spoke at this moment.
I retracted my steps and looked sideways at the courtyard.
I had just recognized it, and it was a baby cat that had just rushed out, but I didn't know if it was the one I saw yesterday.
"Come out, we know you're in there!" Liu Ling Tongzi looked at the courtyard with all his thoughts, and said this.
No one responded.
But I could feel that someone was watching us.
"I see you!"
I looked in the direction from which the gaze came and whispered.
"Huh!"
A chuckle rang out, and a shadow wriggled from under the window and stood up.
"Papercutter?"
I squinted at the standing figure.
It was a paper figure more than a meter tall and as thin as a human hair.
"You were also deceived by Huang Feng, right?"
The papercutter didn't answer my question, but came up with this sentence.
I glanced at Liu Ling Tong Zi out of the corner of my eye, and unexpectedly found that Liu Ling Tong didn't know when he changed his face.
Realizing that I was looking at him, Liu Ling Tong squeezed his eyes.
"What do you mean by being deceived by Huang Feng?" I asked.
"What do you mean?"
The paper-cutter chuckled and said, "You have also seen the current situation in the old village, but at this time, you still don't understand, have you been deceived by Huang Feng?" β
"The situation in the old village is indeed a bit weird, but if you want to say that you have been deceived, I don't think so!" I thought about it for a while and said, "I came to the old village, and I was invited by Huang Feng, not by tricking me!" β
"Huang Feng invited me to come here to sew the corpse of Lu Xiaoyu, the sister of the village chief Lu Wei, counting today, I have already sewn the corpse of Lu Xiaoyu for two days, and in the past two days, there has been no problem for the time being!"
"Is this still a problem?" The paper-cutter pointed to the red lantern at the door, then pointed to himself, and said: "The various forces that entered the old village in the early stage have died seventy percent in less than half a month!" β
"If it weren't for our temporary union, we would have died a long time ago!"
The papercutter's voice carried a sense of resentment.
"You mean, the people in the Yin Gate who came to the old village before have died seventy percent?" I was surprised.
"That's right!"
The papercutter nodded and said, "Why do you think we lured you out tonight?" β
"Wait, you said you lured us out?"
Hearing this, I interrupted the cut-out man in one bite.
"That's right!"
The papercutter nodded and said; "Otherwise, why do you think Lu Xiaoyu's resentful corpse will come out?"
"Say, lure us out, what do you want to do?" I asked.
"I've said so much, and you're even asking me what I want to do?" The papercutter laughed angrily.
When I saw him laugh, I laughed too.
"What are you laughing at?" The papercutter snorted coldly.
"I'm laughing at you!"
I stretched out my hand and clicked on the paper-cutting figure, and said, "As long as I deal with Lu Xiaoyu tomorrow, we can go out, why should I talk to you?" β
"You think you can get out?" The papercutter asked rhetorically.
"Why not?" I asked rhetorically.
"Good!"
The papercutter's thin body trembled and said, "How about we make a bet!" β
"What bet?" I asked.
"Tomorrow, you will dispose of the body and see if you can leave. If you can leave, then we haven't seen it, if not, you will come here tomorrow night, and when the time comes, we will talk in detail! The papercutter said.
"Good!" I nodded.
"Lu Xiaoyu is coming back soon, let's go!" The papercutter gave me a deep look, and his whole body suddenly went limp, and he fell to the ground, reintegrating into the shadows.
"Let's go!"
Seeing this scene, I exhaled and whispered.
Liu Ling didn't say anything, turned around and left.
Situ Qing also has the same attitude.
A few of us returned along the same route, and as soon as we returned to the room on the second floor, Lu Xiaoyu's figure appeared at the door of the village committee compound.
The time control is just right!
This time, Lu Xiaoyu didn't make a listening move, but just like yesterday, he went straight back to the conference room on the third floor and got into the coffin.
"Brother-in-law, it seems that Boss Huang is still awesome, and he has pitted all those people in the Yin Gate!" Liu Ling said with a smile after hearing the sound of the coffin.
"Huh!" I smiled and didn't say anything.
Situ Qing was as silent as ever, not knowing what to think!
"What about tomorrow?" I asked.
"Cold salad!"
Liu Ling Tongzi said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, let's proceed according to the normal progress!" After sewing the corpse tomorrow, let's withdraw, it's naturally best if we can withdraw, if we can't withdraw, let's come back and have a good talk with the papercutter! β
"What about you?" I looked at Situ Qing.
"I'm okay with that!" Situ Qing said slowly.
"Then it's decided!" I said.
"I'm back to sleep!" Situ Qing turned around and left directly.
"I'm gone, too!" The willow spirit boy followed and left.
After the two left, only me and Chu Siyu were left in the room.
I exhaled slowly, lay on my back on the bed, and whispered, "Xiaoyu, what do you think?" β
"I listen to you!" Chu Siyu lay down next to me and said softly.
"Hmm!"
I snorted and closed my eyes.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
We didn't talk much with the papercutter today, but you can tell from his attitude that he is very careful and has a good time control.
We talked for less than two minutes.
In the past two minutes, he didn't say a word useful, and there were two points in the news that leaked out, one was that we were all pitted by Huang Feng.
I don't need to say this, I know it.
Ever since I recognized Liu Ling Tongzi, I knew that I had been deceived by Huang Feng.
The second is that the people in the Yin Gate who entered the old village have been united.
At this point, he said that he did not say anything, he only said the union, did not say who united with whom, and did not say who is still alive.
But no matter what, one thing is certain, this trip to Hutou Mountain is a trap laid by Huang Feng.
As for the specific time and location of the dragon's lair, it is not clear for the time being.
What's more, judging from the paper-cutting man's jealousy of Lu Xiaoyu, these people in the yin door who entered the old village must have suffered a lot of losses on Lu Xiaoyu.
The appearance of this paper-cutting man tonight also explains why I can't feel those people in the yin gate, the reason is very simple, the people in the yin door who are still alive are all turtles with shrunken heads.
They are hidden in the village, not to mention looking at people with their eyes, even from the corner of their eyes.
From this point of view, it is not only Lu Xiaoyu who has problems, but also Lu Wei and his two followers, as well as their families, all have problems.
With doubts, I slowly fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.
Lovells, like yesterday, prepared breakfast for us early.
In the face of breakfast, a few of us are not afraid of poisoning.
Situ Qing has the Golden Silkworm Gu worm in her body, and with her, we don't have to worry about being poisoned, and we don't have to worry about someone adding something to the meal.
The reason is very simple, once something is added, the golden silkworm Gu worm in Situ Qing's body will know it as soon as possible.
After breakfast, we didn't go out for a walk, and after resting for a while, I didn't care about anything else, and went upstairs to sew the corpse.
When we came back to sew the corpse, Lovell didn't follow, but stayed downstairs.
Coming to the third floor, the situation inside is basically the same as what we saw yesterday.
Lu Xiaoyu lay quietly in the coffin, not seeing anything unusual at all.
As I did yesterday, I took Lu Xiaoyu out of the coffin and put it on the morgue next to me.
After arranging, I let out a breath and prepared to sew the corpse.
Two days ago, I had already treated Lu Xiaoyu's external injuries to the top of the day, and now all that is left is the criss-crossing stitches on her face.
What I need to do today is very simple, cut off the stitches, and use the two charms to calm the resentment in Lu Xiaoyu's body on time.
"Brother-in-law, where are you going to start?"
Liu Ling Tong leaned over and asked.
"Ears!" I said.
In fact, it doesn't matter where to start now, the experience of the past two days shows one thing, Lu Xiaoyu is controlled by others, even if I cut the stitches on her face without making any preparations, she will probably not have anything abnormal.
To put it bluntly, a few of us are just a faΓ§ade.
Before that, I thought that we came to the old village to sew corpses in order to stabilize those people in the underworld.
Through last night's conversation with the paper-cutters, I found that those people in the yin gate don't need us to stabilize at all, and they themselves are barely breathing.
Since it's not them who want to stabilize, then who?
Liu Ling Tongzi also said, we came here to help Huang Feng delay time.
"The people of the master!"
I thought of a possibility.
The ones who are eyeing the dragon's lair, except for the people in the Yin Gate, are the people in Huang Feng's division.
All along, it was the third master who was right against Huang Feng.
According to Huang Feng, that third master was an elder of his master's sect.
It's a little strange that the third master has been defeated repeatedly.
At least I know, this third master hasn't won once.
Although he hasn't won once, every time, this third master can get out of the way.
I find this particularly incredible.
The strangest thing is Huang Feng's attitude, he doesn't seem to care about the third master at all.
I can't understand Huang Feng's operation, and I don't understand why he didn't take the initiative to find out the third master.
After all, the third master is the one who knows the dragon's lair best, and he is also the one who knows Huang Feng's master the most.
Although the third master has failed many times, no one knows if he will succeed next time.
This time, too.
I originally thought that Huang Feng asked me to sew the corpse in order to drag those people in the Yin Gate, but now that I look at it, it is not the same thing at all.
"Whew!"
I exhaled slowly, suppressed those thoughts, took out the two charms of calming, and pasted them on Lu Xiaoyu's eyebrows, and then began to remove the stitches.
There are four stitches on Lu Xiaoyu's face, which are ears, mouth, nose and eyes.
I'll start with the ears.
Removing the stitches is actually very simple, to put it mildly, as long as you have hands.
Cut first, then pull, as the threads were pulled out, one of Lu Xiaoyu's ears was liberated.
After the first ear was liberated, I paused for a moment to carefully observe Lu Xiaoyu's reaction.
Although Lu Xiaoyu's face is densely stitched, I can still see that Lu Xiaoyu's eyebrows have stretched a little.
"Comfortable, huh?"
I asked softly.
Lu Xiaoyu didn't react, and still lay quietly.
"Go on!"
I exhaled again and began to remove the stitches.
Five minutes later, Lu Xiaoyu's second ear was freed.
"Brother-in-law, who do you say is so ruthless and can be so ruthless, look at it, sew an ear, half of his face is full of needle eyes!" Liu Ling Tongzi smacked his lips and said.
"Shut up!"
It's good that Liu Ling didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Xiaoyu, who had no reaction, suddenly became hideous.
I took out a talisman, pricked my finger, smeared the blood on the talisman, and pasted it on Lu Xiaoyu's eyebrows.
After the talisman was pasted, Lu Xiaoyu's hideous face gradually returned to calm.
I glared at Lu Xiaoyu and started again.
This time, I chose the nose.
Compared to the ears, the stitches on the nose are easier to remove, although I have been careful, but it didn't take me five minutes for the stitches on the nose to be removed.
As soon as these stitches were removed, Lu Xiaoyu's face was completely exposed.
You can see that this is a very beautiful little girl.
I don't know the specific identity of Lu Xiaoyu.
Luo Wei said that Lu Xiaoyu was bought back by the Lu family.
Lu Wei said that Lu Xiaoyu is his own sister.
One of these two people must be lying, and who it is is not known for the time being, and it is impossible to tell.
After a pause, I continued to work.
The next step is to remove the stitches on the mouth.
I removed the stitches according to the normal rhythm, and it didn't take five minutes like my nose, and the stitches on Lu Xiaoyu's mouth were also removed.
After removing the stitches on my mouth, I took out a talisman, burned it, and put the talisman ash into Lu Xiaoyu's mouth.
After Fu Ash entered his mouth, Lu Xiaoyu's expression looked a little better again.
Seeing this scene, I was inexplicably comforted and took the last step.
After the stitches on the mouth are removed, only the stitches on the eyes remain.
Unlike several other places, the eye is the last place, and the most important thing is that the eye is the window to the heart, and I am worried that something will go wrong at this time.
For this reason, I looked at the Liu Ling boy and said, "I'm going to remove the stitches on my eyes, you pay attention!" β
After speaking, I looked at Situ Qing again and said, "Situ, you should also pay attention!" β
"Brother-in-law, don't worry about me!"
"Hmm!"
Liu Ling Tongzi and Situ Qing agreed almost at the same time, but one patted his chest and promised loudly, and the other just nodded lightly.
With the promise of the two of them, I began to remove the stitches on Lu Xiaoyu's eyes.
As before, everything went well, but after the stitches on Lu Xiaoyu's two eyes were all removed, Lu Xiaoyu's eyeballs moved.
"Brother-in-law, she wants to open her eyes!"
Seeing this scene, Liu Ling Tong shouted.
