Chapter 25: Begging for Money

In the night, Sangshui County is quiet.

The water in the ditch reflected the moonlight, making it even more deserted.

In this small isolated city, the night is always so quiet, even in a place like Goolan that should be doing good business, because of the sparse customers, it seems listless for a while.

This is the loneliness of a small town.

At this time, Huang Si suddenly slowed down.

On the corner of the street ahead, a light spilled through the window paper, like water.

The bloodstains there were long gone, but Huang Si still remembered that person.

The old woman who chased him that day.

She fell into the pool of blood, staring at him like a fish stranded on the shore.

He seems to have been unlucky since then.

Huang Si spat and couldn't help but curse secretly: "Bad luck! ”

After that, he quickened his pace.

The area to the west of the city is the slum of Sangshui County, where dilapidated buildings stand in disorder, and some of the cramped alleys cannot even let in the moonlight.

There was a faint smell of urine in the air, and Huang Si felt the sharp knife in his left hand and walked into an alley.

After that, he climbed over a low earthen wall.

The yard is small, and some dried vegetables that are not in good color are dried under the eaves.

This is the home of the blind old woman.

Huang Si looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he pulled out the sharp knife at his waist.

He had already stepped on it before, there were not many people living in this alley, and this blind old woman had no relatives and no reason, so she was not afraid of being discovered.

There was a soft clang, and the deadbolt of the house was pried open.

Huang Si was a little annoyed, this left hand was really much clumsier than his right hand.

If it had been in the past, he would never have made such a loud noise.

The room was quiet.

The old woman was so old that she was not only blind, but also had poor ears.

Huang Si took a deep breath and entered the room, and there was a bad smell in his face.

That's the smell of old people.

The house was not large, with only one hall and one back room.

The door of the inner room was open, and the moonlight reflected on the window paper, and the figure of a rickety lying on the bed could be faintly seen.

Huang Si gently closed the door behind him and walked there.

His steps were light, but they still made small sounds.

When he reached the back room, the blind old woman remained motionless.

At this point, the old man's stench becomes more and more obvious.

Huang Si approached a little closer and wanted to determine the condition of the old woman, but he was taken aback.

Under the pale moonlight, the old woman's face had many brown spots, which were very eye-catching.

Huang Si finally knew why this old man's stench was so obvious.

That's the stench of corpses!

The old woman must have been dead in bed for a few days, and she has not been found.

Huang Si suddenly relieved his heart.

It's best to be dead, and if you die, you won't bother him looking for silver.

After that, Huang Si rummaged through the cabinets inside, and he really found more than three taels of silver.

Huang Si was in a good mood, fortunately he came early, if others knew that the old woman was dead, then this silver would naturally not be his turn.

Finally, he set his sights on the old man's body.

On the blind old woman's right hand, she wears a wrench, which should be inferior jade of different colors.

But it's worth a little bit of money.

Huang Si walked in front of the old woman.

Under the moonlight, the old woman looked peaceful in bed.

If it weren't for the obvious corpse spots, and the fact that this person was not breathing, Huang Si would probably think that the other party was sleeping.

Huang Si stretched out his left hand to get the wrench.

He could clearly feel that the old woman's skin was wrinkled and a little disgusting.

But I didn't care when I thought I could exchange it for some silver.

Huang Si's right hand was scrapped, and the wrench was a little tight, so it was a little difficult for him to take it.

But fortunately, under his somewhat rough pull, the colorful jade wrench was finally removed.

After Huang Si succeeded, he just wanted to go around the hall to see if there was anything else that could be sold for money, but at this moment, his hand was suddenly grabbed by something.

At this moment, his scalp was about to explode.

Huang Si's throat rolled, and he glanced at it with his peripheral vision, only to find that the blind old woman who had died suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his wrist.

Her eyes were covered with a white film, snow-white in the moonlight.

Scam the corpse!

The moment this thought popped into her mind, the old woman suddenly spoke—"Lin'er, my son, is that you?" ”。

At this moment, Huang Si's tears were about to flow out.

This is not the voice of a blind old woman!

It's the old woman who chased her and fell!

At this moment, the blind old woman's face seemed to have changed, and she became a little younger, and then a pool of blood spread behind her head.

She looked at him like that, like a fish stranded on the shore, exactly as she had had been lying in a pool of blood.

At this time, the old woman's face changed again and became serious.

"You're not Lin'er, you're not Lin'er, what are you doing with my money?"

In the night, her face was so terrifying.

Huang Si pulled his hand suddenly, and the skin was torn apart before he broke free.

He ran out of the house with a lot of urine and shouted, "There are ghosts! ”。

But the night was quiet, like a silent grave, and no one gave him any answer.

Huang Si ran to the street in a panic, and not far behind him, there was always a slightly hunchbacked figure following.

It was almost exactly the same as it was that day.

He knocked frantically on the door of the house next to him several times, shouting "Help! As a result, no one paid attention to him.

Huang Si ran five or six streets in one go, only to feel that his lungs were about to explode, and his left hand, which had been scratched with a few blood marks, was trembling constantly.

Only then did he realize that the shadow was not following him.

Huang Si remembered something and ran home in a panic.

He remembered that his old mother had left him a talisman before she died.

It is said that it is a talisman that the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple has opened the light, and as long as it is pasted on the door, it can ward off disasters and ward off evil spirits.

Huang Si scoffed at this, but now that he suddenly remembered it, he only felt that it was a lifesaver.

He returned home with a look of trepidation, closed the door shut, and began to rummage through the cabinets.

By this time, the old lady's voice was already sounding outside—"Silver, give me back my money, give me back my money." That was the silver ...... that Lin Er married."

Finally, Huang Si found the yellow rune, only to see that there were red runes painted on it.

He just wanted to put the talisman paper on it, but he only heard a clang, and the courtyard door that he had locked suddenly opened, revealing a somewhat hunchbacked thin figure.

The old woman came very quickly, and Huang Si ran away.

When he ran to the backyard, he accidentally fell and broke his knee.

Behind him, the sound of the door opening kept ringing.

Huang Si limped, crawled into the thatched house, and threw his shoes into the corner of the wall by the way, pretending to run over the wall.

In a panic, he hung the yellow charm on the curtain of the thatched house.

After that, Huang Si covered his mouth, and he didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that the sound of his breathing would attract the old woman.

Outside, the sound of old wheezing sounded.

The old woman has arrived!

Huang Siwo nestled in the corner of the thatched house, sweat running down his forehead and in his eyes, and he didn't dare to blink.

There was a little more shredded footsteps outside the hut, and the tips of the black cloth shoes could be vaguely seen exposed.

The rune paper on the door was gently swaying by the wind, and it looked like it was going to fall off at any moment.

Huang Si's whole heart couldn't help but hang in the air.

Fortunately, after some time, the old woman's footsteps were far away, and she should have gone outside.

Only then did Huang Si dare to let out a breath.

He didn't know if it was the effect of the talisman or if he hid well, so he barely managed to save his life.

As a result, the moonlight above his head suddenly dimmed a little, and he couldn't help but raise his head.

The next moment, Huang Si's pupils contracted into two pitch-black dots, and his entire face was distorted and deformed by fear.

The walls of this hut have a window-sized bowl in the wall.

And the old woman was squeezing in through the small window, looking like a wriggling giant flesh worm.

"Silver, give me back my money, give me back my money! That's the silver that Lin Er got married......"

"Ah!!h
