Chapter 14: The Bride in Red

Suo Ba lay on the kang tossing and turning, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while.

Worried about Maria's safety, more than a hundred hypotheses came to his mind in an instant.

Could this woman have fallen into evil? and then let the male ghost hook it away.

Will she be taken away by wolves? Teared up and eaten.

Don't look at this woman, she has a bit of a posture, could it be that she was tied up with a beard and taken away to be the lady of the village?

If it's really taken away by the beard, it's broken, it's all over the time, it's over! That's it! I'm afraid everything has been done, and there may be a mustache on this day next year.

The more Suo Ba thought about it, the more scared he became, the more scared he became, the more he couldn't sleep, he only felt so uncomfortable with a hundred claws scratching his heart.

He tossed and turned on the cold clay kang and baked the flatbread, which was hot and might be cooked.

But this is just a cool kang, and the more he burns, the more he is born.

Suoba simply covered his head with a quilt, and he wanted to relieve his sorrows.

"Oh, my mother's stomach still hurts, and I haven't eaten anything unclean? It may be this kang ice, this dead old woman is really lazy enough, and she doesn't fucking burn the kang, it will ruin your eighth master's ice. ”

He shook his head again: "Won't it?" I'm not so squeamish, I used to sleep on the ground in front of the statue of the mountain god, it's fine, hey! It's really exciting, it hurts to death. ”

Suo Ba covered his stomach and pulled his shoes to push the door out of the room, and he trotted to the corner of Xifang Mountain.

Suo Ba couldn't wait to untie his pants, squatted down and began to pour.

What a blessing! Half a step later, you have to pull your pants pocket, it's so dangerous! It's dangerous! It's dangerous!

In the left front of the Suoba squatting pit, there is a pile of firewood made of corn stalks, which looks black like a hill from a distance.

The green smoke on the firewood stack is swirling, and if there is a master of the Tao who uses it, he may see a demonic aura.

As the saying goes, "the green smoke demon comes out, and the purple qi comes from the east to the Bodhisattva." ”

The area of the firewood stack is very large, and the pile is also very high, completely exceeding the old lady's three rooms.

Suo Ba was suspicious, how could an old lady get such a big pile of firewood?

She can't finish burning it for three years as a lonely old woman, so it's better to go back and light it, roast the fire to warm up, and burn the bad luck on her body by the way.

Suo Ba was staring at Chai Heduo and was thinking about it, when a dark shadow suddenly appeared.

The man held an oil lamp in his hand, and the light was in a trance, reflecting her rickety figure, which at first glance looked like a dead man's disguise.

The man walked very quickly, trembling with broken steps, and saw her walking straight towards the firewood stack.

Judging from the way she walks, this is an old lady with her feet bound, and all women who are bound feet are unstable when she walks, and she takes one step after another, and she will fall down if she slows down a little.

Foot binding is also known as foot binding, and the wind of foot binding flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The earliest can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or even longer.

Foot binding is one of the greatest bad habits in ancient China, which inflicts extreme double destruction on a woman's body and soul.

It was not until the Republic of China was banned by the government that foot binding gradually disappeared.

The old lady with little feet sneakily glanced back, and Suo Ba was afraid that she would see him, so he quickly shrank back.

Suo Baxin said: "Could it be that she wants to set fire? ”

He wiped his eyes and took a closer look, "It's like a strange old lady, this old woman doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, what is she going to do?" Did I meet a dominatrix? It can't be that you want to kill me for money, right? ”

Suo Ba grabbed a handful of weeds beside him, wiped it on his buttocks, and didn't know if he had wiped it clean, anyway, the process was gone, he hurriedly got up and put on his pants.

Suo Bayi dodged into the corner, and he secretly watched the old lady's actions.

I saw the old lady go to the pile of firewood and bend down, and with her other hand lift a bundle of corn stalks and throw them aside.

Lifting a bundle again and throwing it aside, I didn't expect that the bad old woman's hands and feet were quite sharp, she threw more than a dozen bundles in a row before she stopped throwing them.

At this time, the strange old lady sat down on the ground slowly, Suo Ba thought that the old lady was tired from the busy work of firewood for a long time, and she might sit down and rest for a while.

I saw that the upper body of the old lady who sat down sank down, and the person soon disappeared.

Full of curiosity, Suo Ba Mao trotted to the firewood stack, and when he squatted down to take a look.

Oh! It turns out that there is a hole here!

The strange old lady had just shifted the position of the corn stalks, revealing a large round hole.

Not to mention a skinny old woman who got into this hole, even a strong man of more than 200 catties can enter and enter freely.

Because the moon was obscured by dense clouds, the entrance of the cave was black and hollow, and when the hairy moon jumped out, the entrance of the cave was illuminated.

Suoba stretched his neck and looked at the entrance of the cave, this hole looked very deep, what made Suoba wonder was that the hole was so deep that there was no ladder, how did this strange old woman go down?

Curiosity forced Soba to go down and find out, and he stood up and spun around in place.

Suopa couldn't find anything to help him get down, so he rushed back, rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a long time, but still couldn't find what he was looking for.

He went to the kitchen again and picked up a sharp kitchen knife, and he carried the kitchen knife straight to the Westinghouse where he lived.

Suoba stretched out his hand and dragged the quilt on the kang, cut the edge of the quilt with a kitchen knife, and then "clicked" the quilt into wide strips of cloth.

Soba joins all the strips of cloth so that a thick, long rope of cloth is formed.

Suoba pinned the kitchen knife to his belt and returned to the hole in the firewood stack with the cloth rope.

He found another half brick and tied it to one end of the rope.

Then he squatted down, looked down at the hole on his stomach, and then carefully lowered the end of the brick from the hole.

When the rope was more than half in the hole, Suopa felt that the stone had sunk to the bottom of the cave, and he tied the other end of the rope to the firewood stack.

Soba stood up, threw his head up and let out a long exhale, steadied himself, and patted the kitchen knife pinned to his waist again, before sitting down on the entrance of the cave and putting his feet into the hole, he was ready to go deep into the cave.

Suo Ba held the cloth rope with both hands and slowly slid down his body, and soon Suo Ba was standing on the ground at the bottom of the cave with both feet.

The cave was pitch black, and there was no light at all, let alone seeing the road, even his own hands couldn't see, and he only then understood what it meant to reach out and not see five fingers.

At this moment, Suo Ba is like a blind man, he can only rely on his hands to grope the cave wall forward little by little.

Touching the wall of the cave with his hand, he felt wet, and Suoba pinched it and put it in his nostrils to smell it, it was sour and sour.

Suoba felt like his feet were stepping on the mud, and if he stepped on it, he would sink, and as soon as he lifted his feet, he would be slimy and sticky with some sticky substances.

At the same time, the smell of the cave is extremely unpleasant, with the smell of a pit mixed with the rancid smell of dead cats and rotten dogs.

There was a constant ticking sound of water dropping in the cave, sometimes suddenly dripping on the top of Suopa's head.

Suoba was afraid of alarming the mysterious old woman, so he raised his legs and walked lightly, trying not to make a sound, at this time he was more like a thief stealing chickens.

Soba groped his way forward, and after walking a short distance, a bright light appeared in front of him, and he immediately hid in a dark corner.

It turned out that the place where the light was lit was a cave, and he leaned against the wall of the cave and craned his neck to look in.

I saw that the cave was not large, a kerosene lamp was placed on a stone table, and some miscellaneous rags were piled up on the ground.

On a stone chair beside the stone table was a woman tied up, whose mouth was gagged with rags.

At this time, a rickety figure came out from the innermost, and yes, this was the strange old lady.

The strange old lady carried a bull-eared knife in her left hand, and she came to the stone table and picked up the kerosene lamp on the table.

The kerosene lamp shone on the terrifying zombie face of the strange old lady, and inadvertently revealed a strange smile, which was more ugly than crying.

The old woman stared at the woman on the stone chair with a pair of sunken eyes, who was red from head to toe and dressed like a bride.

The bride shook her head and hummed through her nose, as if to express something?

But because her mouth was stuffed full, she couldn't speak, she could only hum.

The strange old lady suppressed her voice and said, "Don't do any more useless struggles, you can't escape from the palm of my hand." ”

The old woman shook the sharp knife in front of the woman's eyes and stared at the bride viciously.

"This knife is so sharp that it is used by butchers to remove bones, and there is not even a trace of meat left on the bones of the cows. It doesn't hurt to tell you, I've already used it to remove ninety-eight faces, and all of them are as handsome as you. And you're exactly ninety-nine. ”

Speaking of this, the strange old lady laughed, the laughter was extremely penetrating, and it was so uncomfortable to listen to it.

The strange old lady's laughter stopped abruptly, and she continued, "After a while, I will cut off your face and stick it on my face, so that I will no longer be old and ugly, and I will become a great beauty exactly like you." Later, I have to take out the cloth from your mouth, otherwise the skin of the face will be deformed, and it will not be perfect if it is deformed. Tell you that you don't call, it's useless to call, no one can hear you here, and no one can find here, obedient! Be obedient! ”

The old lady reached out and pulled the cloth off the bride's mouth, the bride's mouth had been blocked for a long time, and her face was flushed, and as soon as the cloth in her mouth was pulled off, she immediately gasped.

The old woman placed the sharp knife on the stone table behind her, reached out and pinched the woman's chin, and looked at the bride's handsome face under the oil lamp.

The strange old lady was afraid that she would not look carefully, so her eyelids were raised as much as possible, and a pair of big eyeballs bulged out of her sockets, and it looked like she was a lizard.

The old woman whispered, "Tsk! What a beauty's blank, it's a pity! This face sticks to my face, and it only stays fresh for two days before it rots. ”

The bride was out of breath at this time, and she cried and begged: "Auntie, please let me go!" Please don't hurt me. ”

The old woman showed a more sinister face and said, "Let you go, don't even think about it, aren't you spending candles in the cave tonight?" I'll put your little face on it, and I'll go into the cave room, and I'll be waiting for me in the house! ”

Blame the old lady's words, so scared that Suo Ba almost sat on the ground, the little liver in the house? Could it be that this little liver refers to itself?

At this moment the old woman put down the oil lamp, and the flame of the kerosene lamp "poof" swayed upward, and the light was reflected on her distorted old face.

"Whoosh", I don't know where a yin wind blew, and the small wind that blew this time obviously revealed a gloomy feeling.

In an instant, the strange old lady's hair stood on end.

Frightened, a layer of white sweat instantly appeared from his feet to his scalp, and there was a feeling called shuddering, he really regretted that he shouldn't have followed the old lady to this hole.

Picking up the sharp knife on the stone table, he approached the woman with the tip of the knife viciously.

"Ah......h

With a heart-rending scream from the bride, the old woman's sharp knife pierced through the woman's hairline.
