Chapter 24: Run
When he came to Baihe Village, Zhou Qing saw a dilapidated village built on the riverside.
More than half of the houses in this village have collapsed, and there is no life in sight through them, and only at the end of the village, there are still a dozen or so intact houses.
Houses in the village are scattered, and blood stains can be seen everywhere. On some muddy ground, there were still shallow footprints of two feet long, which followed the footprints and finally disappeared by the white river.
Walking into the intact houses in the village, Zhou Qing found that there were still live poultry in the houses.
"When we came to this village yesterday, most of the houses were still intact, and now there are only a few destroyed by the monster. Wang San, who was following Zhou Qing, said this.
Originally, Zhou Qing had planned to lure out that fierce ghost, but now after looking at the dozen or so intact houses, he expected that the ghost would definitely come here tonight, which would save a lot of trouble.
After walking around the village, Zhou Qing stopped by an old tree in the village and looked at a collapsed house not far away.
"There's a bundle of twine and a few jars of oil in the carriage, and you two will get it here first. ”
After giving the order, Wang San and Mo Fei went to the carriage to fetch the things.
Then, Zhou Qing began to explain to the two of them what they would do at night.
He first asked Mo Fei to climb to the top of the leafy old tree, and asked Wang San to send a few cans of fire oil to the tree.
Then he asked Wang San, who was down the tree, to tie one end of the hemp rope with the thickness of his forearm under the old tree, and the other end to tie it to a broken beam, hidden in the broken house.
He himself walked with his little hands behind his back towards the still intact houses in the village.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and Zhou Qing casually walked into a house and sat on a wooden bench in the house.
I don't know how long it took, in the Baihe River next to Baihe Village, there was a sound of breaking water, and then, a huge figure came out of the Baihe River more than twenty or thirty zhang wide.
The huge figure had blue skin, two feet tall, and on a human-like head, a huge mouth full of sharp fangs was wide open, and there was still a water mark on the corner of the mouth, and on the top of its head, there were two sharp horns.
"Ao~"
The large goblin let out a long whistle as it reached the shore, and then walked towards the still-intact houses in Shirakawa Village.
The houses in Shirakawa Village were only a few feet tall, lower than the goblin, and when he walked to a house, he stretched out his palm and pushed it, and the walls made of adobe bricks collapsed.
Inside, the giant goblin lifted the roof of the house, reached down and grabbed an old sow in the pigsty.
"Hmph~"
The snatched sow made only a short pig coaxing sound, and was brought to the mouth by the goblin, and died, and the goblin's mouth made a chewing sound, followed by another mouthful.
In the end, an adult old sow was swallowed into the belly under more than a dozen mouthfuls of ghosts.
Then, when the goblin reached down and grabbed a little pig, and was about to stuff it into his mouth, Li Ge, who was hidden in the house, rushed out.
When he saw the huge ghost, he couldn't help but gasp.
When he came, although he knew that the ghost in Baihe Village was not the one he had encountered in Lijia Village before, he was still quite surprised to see this huge figure two feet tall with his own eyes.
When the ghost stuffed the pig into his mouth, Zhou Qing lifted the half of the adobe brick in his hand and smashed it directly into the ghost's face.
The ghosts who were originally eating with peace of mind did not notice Zhou Qing, but only after being smashed with a brick did they notice him.
The big green eyes glanced at Zhou Qing, and the ghost's body moved, striding towards where Zhou Qing was.
After smashing the earth bricks, Zhou Qing did not pause, and ran directly in the direction of the old tree in the village, his small figure was light and flexible, and the speed of running was comparable to that of this huge ghost.
Soon, he ran to the middle of the road between the old tree where Mo Fei was hiding and the collapsed house where Wang San was.
Stepping over the hemp rope the thickness of a small arm scattered on the ground, Zhou Qing did not pause at all, but just opened his mouth and shouted the word 'pull' in the direction of the abandoned house.
As soon as the shout came out, the figure of Wang San in the abandoned house moved, and retreated to the middle and back doors of the house with the other end of the rope tied to the wooden beam, and placed it on the two big stones behind the door.
After Wang San's retreat, the hemp rope that was originally scattered on the ground was stretched to half a zhang away from the ground.
At this moment, the ghost chasing Zhou Qing ran in front of the hemp rope, and his calf stumbled directly on the rope, and then the backyard wall of Wang San's house collapsed with the momentum of the ghost's calf.
Although the wall collapsed, the two-foot-tall ghost tripped over the ground by the sudden resistance.
When the ghost fell to the ground, Mo Fei, who was hiding in the big tree, picked up a can of fire oil caught on the branch and smashed it directly into the back of the ghost without moving.
The oil can was smashed out and shattered into the goblin's back, and the fire oil inside flowed onto the goblin's body.
Mo Fei was very fast, and after smashing out the first can of oil, he picked up the second can, and smashed the third can. Then his figure moved, jumped from the tree, and ran towards Zhou Qing.
As Mo Fei jumped off the tree, Zhou Qing's figure stopped, as he sensed a slight vibration from the ground behind him, and it was obvious that the thick hemp rope was working.
After stopping, Zhou Qing hurriedly took out a talisman from his cuff, shook it with his two little fingers, and then the talisman paper burned.
With a casual wave of his hand, the flaming paper talisman flew straight towards the goblin who had tripped and fallen to the ground not far away, and was getting up from the ground.
The paper talisman was close to him, and under the stimulation of the fire oil, the flames spread rapidly on the huge body of the ghost, and at this moment, Wang San rushed out from the side of the collapsed abandoned house.
The ghost wrapped in flames all over his body let out a roar of pain, and when Wang San rushed out from not far away, the ghost who had already risen from the ground moved, and directly reached out and grabbed Wang San.
"Run~" Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing shouted to Mo Fei who came to his side, turned around and took a step.
After the ghost caught Wang San, he saw Zhou Qing and Mo Fei fleeing, and did not chase after him, but strode towards the Baihe River next to the village, and on the way, he swallowed Wang San, who was screaming repeatedly.
"Plop~" sounded, and the ghost who strode to the side of the white river went directly into the river.
Zhou Qing, who was fleeing, saw that there was no movement behind him, and when he turned back, he only saw a huge fire shadow thrown into the white river.
"What to do, the trail is long. Mo Fei, who also saw this scene, opened his mouth and asked.
As soon as he spoke, the goblin that had jumped into the river climbed from the white river to the shore at one point.
By the moonlight, the goblin's skin could be seen charred black, and a monstrous anger could be seen in its large dark green eyes.
"Run~" Zhou Qing shouted the word for the second time tonight, only to see him and Mo Fei's figures running quickly towards the outside of the village.
