Chapter 18: Ghost Fire in the Night
"Without ten years of cerebral thrombosis, I really can't raise your kind of doubt."
Lin Yi suddenly felt a headache, and looked at Shen Can in front of him and said speechlessly.
"I mean I'm not a little girl anymore, but to do that kind of thing that elementary school students think is hypocritical, everyone has their own secrets, including myself."
"I'm just joking, Sister Lin, don't take it seriously." Shen Can smiled with relief, and said with a haha.
"Forget it, let's rest early, I'm a little tired."
Lin Yi felt that he couldn't communicate with him anymore, so he waved his hand weakly, and Shen Can had to go back to his room.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you."
Lin Ye suddenly said this to Shen Can, who was about to enter the house, and Shen Can stopped and looked at her suspiciously.
"Yours looks pretty in this dress."
"Really?" Shen Can was a little happy.
"It's just that people are ugly."
"Sister Lin, what you said is a little hurtful." Shen Can immediately looked at each other with a sad face.
After a short silence between the two people, happy laughter erupted almost at the same time, and it seemed that the estrangement between the two people who looked at each other and smiled dissipated with it.
If that's really the case......
Shen Can returned to the house and lay quietly on the bed, tired for a day but still hadn't eaten, lying on the bed with a gurgling stomach but couldn't sleep.
Although Luo Xueling gave him a lot of food, but thinking that Lin Ye hadn't eaten yet, Shen Can couldn't enjoy the food with peace of mind no matter what.
So, Shen Can kept an eye on it and decided to wait until Zhang Zhiqiang and the others were asleep, and then secretly take the food back and share it with Lin Yi. Although there is a clear prohibition in the rules that prohibit going out in the middle of the night, he is only outside the base of the wall, and he will come back immediately after taking his things, and even if something terrible happens, he can escape back to the courtyard in time.
It's a risky move, but it's worth it to protect your hard-earned food and guns.
When Shen Can's brain was thinking quickly, there was a knock at the door.
The person who came was Zhang Zhiqiang's daughter-in-law, who came to ask Shen Can if he had completed the task.
At this time, he had already got the equipment, Shen Can always felt that Zhang Zhiqiang's family was a little weird, and he was afraid that something bad would happen to her so rashly, so he lied that he didn't find the ancestral hall, and Zhang Zhiqiang's daughter-in-law didn't say anything but turned around and left.
The night gradually deepened.
Shen Can, who was lying on the bed and pretending to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, quickly put on his clothes, and then tiptoed out of the room.
Dark clouds obscure the moon, and the stars dim
The courtyard was extremely quiet, and the slimy liquid shimmered strangely in the hazy moonlight, making Shen Can feel like he was in the stomach of some kind of huge monster.
Shen Can glanced at Lin Ye's room, the doors and windows were closed, and there was no sound, compared to Sister Lin should have fallen asleep at this time.
tiptoed into the yard, and once again looked around where Zhang Zhiqiang's family lived, and the doors and windows were also closed and silent.
Shen Can held his breath, stood on tiptoe and ran quickly to the gate, squatted down quickly in order not to be discovered, and subconsciously glanced at the direction of Zhang Zhiqiang's family, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there was no movement.
Then he touched his hand in the direction of the deadbolt.
Shen Can only felt a buzz in his brain, his hand seemed to touch a human hand, and it was the kind of cold and hard frozen hand, and the terrible touch made him subconsciously retract his hand.
I subconsciously wanted to scream, but I held it back, my heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of my throat.
Shen Can stared at the deadbolt with wide eyes, a horizontal log was inserted there, and there was no unusual feeling, and then he carefully touched the deadbolt with his fingers, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, maybe he was too nervous.
With a long sigh of relief, Shen Can carefully removed the door bolt and gently pushed the door open.
The long and piercing sound of opening the door frightened Shen Can again, and he hurriedly looked back behind him, and found that there was no movement in the courtyard before he completely relieved himself and quietly left the courtyard.
Night shrouded the land, the moon was hazy, and the shadows of the trees were swaying.
The crows hovering in the sky during the day did not know where to go.
There was silence except for the swaying of the night wind through the branches.
Although it was a little cold outside, the fresh air was far better than the smell of muddy and fishy smell in the yard, Shen Can couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, only to feel that his mind was a little clearer.
Nothing terrible seems to be happening.
Shen Can looked left and right, and found that there was nothing quiet.
But he still didn't dare to break that rule, so he quickly ran to the place where he buried things during the day and dug them up quickly.
After working for nearly twenty minutes, Shen Can breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the things in the soil as they were, just when he was about to take out some food and go back to share it with Lin Ye, and bury the other things......
In the darkness, a hand rested on Shen Can's shoulder.
Shen Can only felt a roar in his brain, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, but his body instinctively wanted to turn back.
Suddenly, the cold hand covered his mouth, Shen Can's heart began to beat violently, and his body began to struggle subconsciously.
At this moment, a familiar voice came to my ears.
"Don't be silent, it's me."
The familiar voice made Shen Can give up struggling, and the other party also let go of the hand covering Shen Can's mouth when he saw this.
Lin Yi hugged Shen Can from behind, and the two of them quietly melted into the dark corner.
Feeling the graceful touch of the other party's concave and convex figure on his back, Shen Can was overwhelmed for a moment, but he quickly dispelled this absurd idea.
Lin Ye's chest kept rising and falling, and the two of them were so close that Shen Can could feel the other party's heavy breathing and the violent heartbeat.
Lin Yi's body trembled slightly, and she seemed to be very nervous at this moment.
Just when Shen Can was full of doubts, there were many shadows in the distance, and there seemed to be many red lights flashing one after another.
Shen Can's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was a little scared in his heart, could it be that the legendary ghost fire could not be achieved.
As he spoke, those "ghost fires" had already arrived in front of him, and Shen Can found that those were villagers holding torches, these people were shrouded in black robes, the people in front of the team were holding torches, and a few people in the back were carrying a large bag.
Far away, they naturally can't be seen in the night, but these people don't sleep in the middle of the night and run outside to do something.
The group of people stiffened like zombies, and their eyes glazed their eyes as they followed the village chief to the south, and if they guessed correctly, their destination should be the ancestral hall in the forest to the south.
After everyone had walked away, Lin Yi let go of the hand holding Shen Can and breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Shen Can could ask, Lin Yi took the first step to speak: "Do you know why I didn't let you eat the food in the village?" ”
Shen Can shook his head truthfully, although he subconsciously felt that those meals were inappropriate, but he didn't know the reason.
"Come with me, I'll show you the true face of this village." Lin Yi took Shen Can's hand and chased in the direction of the villagers.
