Chapter 6: Who He Is
I observed here that every day my mother would send a chicken or a live poultry like a duck or a goose into the wing.
What the hell is there there? What other secrets my mom has that we don't know.
I want to know that I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity here, my mom is home almost every day, and I don't have a chance to get close to the wing.
That night, as usual, I lay on the kang and prepared for bed. At this time, the sound of chains rang in my ears.
Suddenly, I was awakened by the strange sound and looked out the window. Because the window blocked the curtain, the moonlight clearly imprinted the outline of the thing outside the window on the curtain.
It's a figure!
I hurriedly turned over and got off the kang, because I was in a bit hasty, the wooden barrel that hit the ground made a sound, and there were several continuous chain sounds outside.
When I lifted the curtains, I saw a residual shadow disappear through the door of the room.
I could see clearly, it was a person, and looking at the figure, it should be a man.
There was a man hidden in the room, a man with a chain. Who would that be?
There is a man in this family, is it Jing Yong? But my mom said he wasn't at home, so who was this man?
If you are a person, how can you eat live chickens every day? Thinking of this, I felt a churning in my stomach, and I was about to vomit, which was a physiological reaction.
That thing was hovering in front of my window just now, what did he want to do? Is it to eat people?
The person hiding there has also been bitten by a snake to become like this. My mother won't give up after all this, who else can there be besides her precious son?
I can't think of any other answer. I said that my mother's black gas probably has something to do with him.
It had been many years since the snake plague, and no one in the village had heard of anyone being bitten by a snake.
I can understand that my grandmother had an accident, it must have something to do with something in the water, that is, he wanted to bring me back, but my mother also had an accident here, is it also related to me? Or by chance.
Another week passed, and nothing happened. The man hidden in the wing room never came out again, and everything was back to normal. I didn't pay attention to him, and I was all about dealing with what was in the water.
The day soon came, and a round and large full moon hung in the sky, and my cousin asked me to put on the red wedding dress, and I did as he instructed.
They went to prepare, and I put on the cumbersome Xiuhe dress at home, and my mother wanted to stay and help me, but I refused. I'm not used to other people fiddling with me except my grandmother.
When I was finishing and getting ready to leave, I passed by the room where the mysterious man was kept. I looked at the door that had been locked all along, and it was open and it was completely black
My footsteps stopped, and in this trance, I felt the wind behind me suddenly startle. When he hurriedly turned around, he saw a dark shadow, he was hunched and wrapped in rags, and he couldn't see clearly.
I saw black gas swirling around him, and this thing was already rushing towards me. I was busy dodging.
He had a half-chain around his neck, and it was clear that he was the man in the room. He chased me from behind, I ran in front, and we just ran out of that house.
I ran all the way to the river, knowing that my cousin and uncle were there, and that something was not quite right, and I believed that only they could subdue it.
I ran to the other side of the river, but I didn't find my cousin and uncle. The river beach is not big, and there is no one here.
The thing behind me was already coming at me. Even though he had half a chain on him, he was still very fast.
He threw me into the water, so close that I could finally see him at such a close distance.
That face, covered with thick scales, sparkled in the silver moonlight. He opened his scarlet mouth, baring his sharp fangs, to bite at me.
"Jing Yong, I'm your sister!" In desperation, I had to gamble.
Sure enough, when the monster heard me call him, he was stunned for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, my hand groped for a pebble in the river.
Immediately, I lifted the stone and beckoned him to his head. At the moment of life and death, I spared no effort and used all my strength to strike hard.
The thing was hit by me, and its body shook slightly, and I wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
But as soon as I got up, he grabbed my ankle. I fell into the water again, and my forehead hit the pebbles, and blood flowed instantly. My blood flowed deep into the river.
He was even more excited when he saw me bleeding. The eyes hidden in the darkness shimmered with a strange light, and there was a lot of dirt and darkness hidden in those eyes.
When his mouth was close to mine, I could smell the rot all over his body and in his mouth.
He's still human!
My strength is no match for him, and I only luckily injured him once just now, but this time I definitely don't have this chance, and now I can only wait for death.
I closed my eyes in resignation, thinking about my grandmother, did she die like this in the end? How desperate.
Just as Jing Yong was about to tear my throat, the river swelled even more violently, as if there was a huge invisible rod stirring the river.
A wave came over and hit Jing Yong's body, and actually knocked him out.
I've never seen a river so big like this. As soon as the wave receded, it was another force that carried my body into the river.
I felt like I was wrapped in something, but I could hear some noisy sounds in my ears, as if my cousin had arrived.
They tried to get me out of the water, and I heard my cousin's anxious voice, but it felt like a long way away......
My body began to fall incessantly, to the darkest places. I seem to be back when I was five years old, when I was pushed into the well by my mother's own hands.
Hesitating, frightened, and painful, I was weak and helpless, and I just wanted to get a little love, but maternal love was a luxury and unattainable for me, and I was not worthy.
I can finally die, I can be free, I can go to my grandmother.
A pain came from my arm.
Dead still feel?
I struggled to open my eyes, and I saw a man with a stunning face, a face like first snow, long eyebrows like willows, and a body like a jade tree. It's just that the lip flap is redder than usual, and that's because it is stained with my blood.
"Who are you?!"
