Chapter 4: Shocking
"Look at your young age, why can't you think about it so much? Don't you know, my home is in the Lijia Village in front, if you really want to settle down, just follow me, this wilderness is not inhabited! ”
Tang Li saw that the woman was cautiously looking around as she spoke, as if there was some danger hidden in the secret place, and couldn't help but smile comfortingly, and replied: "Don't worry, Auntie, I dare to deliberately look for this barren mountain, there must be some fists and feet to save my life, I don't know what beasts are on this mountain?" ”
The woman looked at Tang Li's disapproving appearance, and couldn't help but wonder, "Are you a Taoist priest?" ”
Tang Lili was slightly flustered, and then replied: "No? What's wrong? ”
Tang Li sighed in his heart, he had taken off his official uniform and restored the dress of his daughter's family, although he was a little unaccustomed, but he didn't look like a Taoist priest, right? ! But at this time, I couldn't explain anything, so I had to continue with the topic.
When the woman heard Tang Li's question, her face changed slightly, and she took a few steps forward, and said cautiously at the root of Tang Li's ear: "This mountain is not an ordinary thing, it is a wandering ghost!" As if frightened, he withdrew his hand and withdrew.
When Tang Li heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, Wandering Soul Wild Ghost, what the hell is this? Is it still possible to suck the essence of a living person?
The woman seemed to sense what Tang Li was thinking, and hurriedly explained: "The Wandering Soul Wild Ghost is the ghost king of the ghost world, specializing in devouring the essence of the living to survive, and can also possess others. ”
"I see! Is the Wandering Ghost really as powerful as the legend says? When Tang Li heard this, he was even more amazed in his heart, he had lived for twenty years, and he had never seen a real ghost.
The woman shook her head and replied, "I don't know if the Wandering Ghost is really powerful, but it is rumored that the Wandering Ghost is very powerful. Moreover, there was originally a family living on this mountain, but then there were always evil things, which made the family restless, and the youngest son became suspicious and crazy, so he moved away.
People in the village say that this mountain is ominous, we villagers don't dare to go to the mountain to cut wood and hunt, at most we go around at the foot of the mountain, if it weren't for my wife and I went to buy outside the village, I wouldn't have come to this ghost place, not to mention that you have a powerless little girl to settle in it! ”
"Don't talk about it, old woman, when the sun goes down completely, it will be a big trouble for the ghost to appear!"
The middle-aged man, who had been watching cautiously from behind, finally couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward to pull the woman away.
Turning his head and saying to Tang Li: "This young lady, seeing that you don't dress like a common person's family, you must be a capable person, but it's getting late, I still advise you not to go up the mountain, if you don't dislike it, you can follow my wife and my wife to the house to rest for one night, and it's not too late to go up the mountain tomorrow." ”
Seeing this, Tang Li secretly said in his heart: This old couple is a kind-hearted person, but just now I listened to what the eldest lady said, and I really hooked my interest, to say that the beast itself has seen a lot, but the ghost himself is indeed unheard of, and he is here today to see it.
Tang Li made up his mind, so he teased the couple disapprovingly: "Big brother and aunt don't worry, I am the nemesis of this evil and crooked way, when I clear the ghosts on this mountain, I can also make it convenient for everyone, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”
The couple glanced at each other, and Qi Qi looked at Tang Li in surprise, they really couldn't understand, how could this girl in front of them say such a thing? Seeing that the couple couldn't be persuaded by it, Tang Carp insisted on jumping into the tiger and wolf's den, only to feel that Tang Carp was arrogant and couldn't be saved, so he shook his head and wanted to give up and leave.
As soon as the couple turned around, and before they had taken a few steps, the woman suddenly turned around again, ran back quickly, and grabbed Tang Li's sleeve.
"Miss is well-informed, but that evil thing is no joke, you must be careful. Moreover, the people in this village have been disturbed by this monster for a long time, and every time they have to go around here to another mountain to cut wood, it is very difficult! If you can really solve this monster, the village chief and we will thank you! ”
When Tang Li heard this, he thought to himself that this monster must be removed, otherwise it would be inconvenient to live in this mountain and buy things, and it would be great if he could borrow the convenience of the villagers.
After thinking about it, he covered the woman's hand with his hand, smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, when I solve this matter, I will definitely go down the mountain to inform you and return you to a clean house." In the future, the little sister will live in this mountain, and she still needs everyone's attention. ”
When the village woman heard this, she smiled and said "um", and was about to say anything more but was suddenly pulled away by her husband and Tang Li, and turned around and left angrily, walking away, she could still vaguely hear the voice of her husband accusing his wife, blaming her for talking nonsense, and believing people indiscriminately.
Tang Li watched the two of them drift apart, with a smile in the corners of his eyes, without any scruples in his heart, only thinking about the excitement that could be tonight, turned around and got into the car, urging Xinglin to roar again.
"Miss, are we really going to stay here tonight?"
Xinglin whipped the horse's butt in front of him with a whip, turned his head sideways and asked Tang Li in the car with a puzzled expression, his eyebrows wrinkled, obviously frightened by the words of the couple, and reluctant to go to the mountain.
Tang Li sat on the cushion on the carriage, adjusted a more comfortable posture, bent his arms and sat crooked with his head supported by his hands, squinted his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Hurry up, otherwise~ When the moon rises in the sky, this monster is even more ferocious, and I like to eat small fresh meat like you who have no power to tie the chicken." ”
Xinglin was already afraid, but he was even more worried when he was frightened by Tang Li, so he hurriedly tightened his horse and whipped a few times, and drove quickly.
In less than half an hour, the carriage went round the road to the valley on the secluded forested mountain, and on the side of the canyon there was a flat mountain area that covered the abandoned farm yard of the woman.
The two got out of the car and came to the front of the courtyard, this small courtyard seems to have been vacant for too long, it has been a little dilapidated, the front of the main house and the left and right side rooms are full of wild grass and fallen leaves, and the fence yard in front of the door is also densely crawled by rattans, it looks very desolate, and before entering the small courtyard, I feel a cold breath coming to my nose.
Tang Li carefully observed the surroundings, and felt that in addition to being a little messy, the house was quite complete, at least the thatch on the roof was still tightly covered, exuding a little light under the moonlight, which looked a little poignant.
"Floating Cloud Residence? Not bad, not bad. ”
Tang Li nodded with satisfaction, I didn't expect that this last master was a tasteful person, maybe it was a reclusive power, maybe it was a reclusive power, and now this house is also empty, but let himself pick up a ready-made one to save money!
Noticing the rattan blocking the way in front of him, Tang Carp suddenly stretched out his palm and flew out, hitting it with internal force, accurately hitting the rattan on the fence yard, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", the rattan was instantly shattered, and it fell to the ground with a clatter, making a small breaking sound.
Looking at the palm of his right hand that had broken the fence, Tang Li's mouth smiled slightly, stepped over the rattan on the ground, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
Although Xinglin trembled with fear, he still followed Tang Li, after all, he was powerless, compared to the unknown danger in the courtyard, the place where Tang Lili was not was more terrifying, for the sake of his own life, it was better for him to follow closely.
Different from the outside, because of the locked fence gate, the courtyard is full of fallen leaves and weeds, and the Tang carp and apricot forest have stepped all the way, and the fallen leaves are broken and make a clicking sound.
Without hesitation, Tang Li walked straight to the door of the main house and kicked the door open, as the door opened, Tang Li's heart "banged" and beat heavily, and the whole person stood on the spot in an instant, her eyes staring at the scene in the room.
What stared at her in front of her was a bloody female corpse!
"Ah----h
Before Tang Li could react, she was startled by the apricot forest behind her, she covered her chest with her hand in fear, and when she looked back, the apricot forest had been frightened and fainted, and fell crookedly next to the pillar.
Tang Liqi's teeth itched, she didn't have the heart to study the female corpse that suddenly appeared, she wanted to drag the apricot forest on the ground and beat her, but unfortunately he had already fainted, so she could only go back and settle accounts with him.
Tang Li exhaled, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned back at random, and shifted his gaze to the female corpse.
I saw that the female corpse was hanging on the beam of the room, facing herself, wearing only a broken white hemp skirt, which only covered most of her body, and the calves were all leaking barely, and the same purple and black color as her face.
Her limbs hung straight down, and on one hand was a woman's silver bracelet, which clanked as the wind blew. His long, rough and messy hair hung down on his chest, hiding most of his face and making it difficult to see.
Tang Carp took a closer look now, only to find that the eye that was looking at him just now was not an eye at all, it was a half-drooping eyeball, and blood was pouring down his cheeks, dripping all the way to the corpse's body and feet, and spreading to the front of Tang Carp.
The more Tang Li looked, the more puzzled he became, looking at the freshness of this blood, could it be that he had just been killed? She thought as she pulled her hand out of her sleeve, ready to take another look at the wound in the other parts.
Before he could find the fire fold, Tang Lili felt a cool cold wind coming from behind him, and the wind was extremely bone-blowing, like a sharp ice blade, through Tang Li's body and scraped onto the female corpse, lifting her hair, revealing her true face.
I saw that the woman's face seemed to be ripped off by life, her face was blurred with flesh and blood, a piece of scarlet, and the blood was dripping to the ground, and Tang Li clearly felt that the blood was dripping more and more, and gradually flowed like flowing water at her feet, which made her suddenly feel frightened.
Suddenly, the female corpse in front of her suddenly raised her hanging head and looked at Tang Li in front of her, and the resentment revealed in her bloodshot eyes made Tang Li's heart chill.
