Chapter 30: Helping Hands
It was past noon, but it was supposed to be the hottest time of the day, but the sky was overcast, and the wind was so strong that it made a strange noise throughout the village.
Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing followed Wang Ju into the old village chief's house.
This is the best location, the most expensive place to decorate, the stone path paved in the yard is exquisite and designed, and the courtyard can be seen to have been specially designed.
Wang Ju was about ten meters in front of Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing, I don't know if he was too anxious, and he didn't notice that he was being followed.
The two of them hung behind him like this, watching Wang Ju walk through the corridor and turn into a living room.
Then I went to the backyard from the entrance on the right side of the living room.
The two followed into the living room, where the furnishings were more luxurious, sofas, carpets, chandeliers, calligraphy and paintings that were worth a lot of money at a glance......
The old village chief's family background is quite rich.
The two didn't stay in the living room for long, and hurriedly followed Wang Ju.
Wang Ju was indeed anxious at the moment.
How could the old village chief die? He doesn't give a damn ...... Nor can they die.
"No......"
"As long as that one is there, you can control the fairy sheep, how can the village chief have an accident......
Could it really be that something went wrong with the ritual that night? If that were the case, wouldn't everyone involved in the ceremony ......
Now that I think about it, there are actually quite a few dead people in the village.
Wang Ju couldn't help but start to tremble.
No......
It's okay.
This kind of thing has happened before, and it's good to let the fairy sheep kill enough, as long as that thing is there...... As long as I keep holding it, I won't die and won't be found by the fairy sheep......
Wang Ju kept comforting himself and hurried to the village chief's room.
It wasn't the first time he had come, but the village chief's room was never allowed to outsiders, not even his own relatives.
That thing must be in here, too.
Without hesitation, Wang Ju kicked towards the door, and the door opened.
He pushed the door and walked in, and specially took a stool to press the door against it, so that at least it was not a confined space, and even if something happened, there was a chance to escape.
Wang Ju's eyes searched around, vases, calligraphy and paintings, and some small ornaments with a sense of age......
Where did the old man put East XZ?
"What is he looking for?"
Outside the backyard, Liu Jingqing hid behind the pillar and asked secretly.
"Look at this courtyard, the people who are selected to become immortal sheep in each round, the reason why they can't make their own wishes should be here, they are likely to be controlled by the village chief, and the things that control them are what Wang Ju is looking for now."
"You get ready." Qin Manjiang said in a low voice.
"Prepare what?" Liu Jingqing was a little puzzled.
"Robbed him." Qin Manjiang said something terrible without any burden.
"Ah...... I...... I try to ...... as much as I can."
The two of them looked at Wang Ju who was still looking around in the room without blinking.
Wang Ju was already so anxious that the sweat came down, and the corpse of the old village chief fell from the sky, even if the fairy sheep in the past went out of control to kill, but he would not take such drastic measures, which made Wang Ju understand even more that this time the fairy sheep was different from the previous ones, it ...... More irritable.
And what puzzled him even more was why the village chief was killed by the fairy sheep even though he had the means to control the fairy sheep......
Is it invalid?
No...... No, it won't.
It should be that this old man always likes to put Dong XZ up, and when the fairy sheep appears and wants to take it out, it is too late.
It must be so.
Wang Ju, who was sweating profusely, comforted himself for a while, sat on the chair and rested, only then did he realize that there was a dressing mirror opposite the chair.
Facing the mirror, Wang Ju wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Suddenly, his heart began to tense.
He is not a person who has not been exposed to the outside world, and he has also seen a lot of horror stories.
Mirrors are generally used as props to communicate between the two worlds, and they can reflect the existence of anomalies.
For example, I suddenly can't keep up with my movements in the mirror, or there is something in the mirror that is not in real life.
As soon as he thought about it, his mood began to tense......
Wang Ju tried for a while, but fortunately, everything in the mirror was normal, and his actions in the mirror were the same as those outside the mirror, so he was a little relieved.
No, we can't afford to delay any longer.
The old guy's bedroom is not small, but it's not so big that it's desperate, as long as you move fast enough, you can always find a place for him to hide things!
As soon as he thought about it, Wang Ju saw that the dressing mirror seemed to be not just a mirror, it was a cabinet!
If you open the mirror, you can put something inside, will it be in there?
The king got up and walked to the dressing mirror.
Suddenly!
He saw a figure in the mirror!
Wang Ju was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, turned his head to take a closer look, and it turned out to be a piece of the old village chief's clothes hanging there.
What is it...... If you stay like this, heart disease will come out.
Wang Ju sped up, walked over and grabbed the handle next to the mirror, and pulled it.
A white head is sitting in a cupboard!
Wang Ju was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he almost screamed! The whole person sat back.
However, he realized that it was just the head of a plastic clothing model.
What is that dead old man's fetish? Put this stuff in the cupboard!
Wang Ju couldn't help but scold in his heart.
However, he took a closer look...... Immediately surprised and delighted.
The plastic mannequin underneath the head...... It's a wooden box!
That's it!
Wang Ju had seen that the pen, the brush that could control the fairy sheep, was placed in this wooden box!
Great, stuff is still there!
Wang Ju didn't hesitate any longer, picked up the head of the plastic model and sandwiched it under the squeaky nest, and reached out to open the wooden box.
However, when he opened the box, he saw ......
It was indeed the box that held the brush, but now it was empty!
Wait...... Wait a minute.
Why...... This head suddenly became heavier?
He looked down again at the plastic mannequin head he had tucked under his armpit, but he was suddenly shocked!
A pair of resentful red eyes were staring at him!
It's Li Rong!
I don't know when this plastic head became Li Rong's head!
Wang Ju was so frightened that his crotch was wet and he immediately let go, but before he could turn around and run away, he saw a pair of strange hands stretched out of the mouth of Li Rong's head that he had dropped and grabbed his ankles!
"Let it go...... Please let go! โ
"I beg you...... It's none of my business, I'm just listening to the old man......"
"Vomit ......"
He was so frightened that he retched.
However, the ghost had no intention of communicating with him at all, it grabbed Wang Ju's ankle and slowly grew its mouth, its mouth grew to an incredibly terrifying degree, and its sharp teeth covered every part of its mouth!
"Bang-"
Wang Ju was dragged to the ground, starting with his feet, and little by little he was stuffed into his mouth.
"Help...... Help me! โ
"Help!"
Wang Ju cried out in despair, his hands clasped to the floor, his nails were buttoned off and he didn't know the pain, but he still couldn't stop the great power of the ghost.
Calves, knees, thighs, waist, ribcage......
Wang Ju was almost completely swallowed by this Li Rong's head!
His last gaze actually found Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing!
His head looked desperately at the two of them in the ghost's gaping mouth, but he was speechless.
"Click-"
The huge mouth closed, a tuft of blood rushed out, and Wang Ju disappeared completely.
Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing felt a chill in their hearts, and Qin Manjiang suddenly felt an alarm in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up." โ
The two did not hesitate, immediately turned around and ran.
Miscalculated...... I thought that I could follow Wang Ju over and find a prop that could restrain the fairy sheep, which should be the way to survive, but I didn't expect that thing to disappear, and even the "fairy sheep" was waiting here for someone to throw themselves into the net.
However, they are a step slower.
"Bang-bang-bang-"
All the doors and windows in the village chief's huge mansion began to close strangely by themselves, Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing rushed to the front yard, and were about to rush out, but they watched the gate being closed.
A hideous female ghost head appeared in the living room, staring at them deadly.
It didn't say a word, just opened its mouth, and two terrifying arms slowly stretched out, and from that mouth, the two of them also saw half of Wang Ju's broken face......
A thick threat of death is imminent, this ghost is undoubtedly Li Rong, but the way it kills people is completely different from that of the fairy sheep.
What to do......
Calm down......
Qin Manjiang stared at the female ghost's head, thinking about possible solutions.
Liu Jingqing was even more chilled, her whole body muscles were stiff, and she couldn't make any movements at all.
The two long, narrow and twisted arms came in an instant, there was no way, Qin Manjiang could only plan for the worst.
"I want to ......"
Before he could say his words, suddenly, outside the courtyard, through a door, there was a crisp rattle sound:
"Jingle bellโ"
Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing saw a flower in front of their eyes, but in an instant, when the two of them saw everything in front of them again, they were no longer in the village chief's courtyard!
And what appeared before their eyes......
White shirt, white-washed jeans...... The round-rimmed glasses he had been wearing were gone, and his braided hair had been loosened and draped behind him in waves...... In his hand, he holds a long, commonly used Sanqing bell by Taoist priests.
Seeing the two of them staring at her, she winked at Liu Jingqing with her left eye and smiled chicly:
"Hello, my name is Zhong Xueran."
"You should be more familiar with another name - annoying."
