Chapter 41: The Well in the Courtyard
"It's miserable!"
Ruan Jiu's whole body was numb, and the whole person was stunned on the spot. She didn't dare to look back, she was afraid that as soon as she turned around, she would have a bloodstained grimace facing her. That kind of impact is not something that her little heart can withstand.
However, what is worse is that Sun Wukong in front of him does not seem to notice the situation behind him, and is still looking around beside the old locust tree.
The cold and white arm slowly rested on Ruan Jiu's shoulder, perhaps because the fear had reached its peak, and the originally stiff body was able to move again at this time!
After realizing this, Ruan Jiu directly picked up his fist and punched him behind him. Her punch contained almost all of her strength.
A terrible scream was heard, followed by a black figure running towards the other side of the village.
Hearing the news, Sun Wukong came to Ruan Jiu in a flash, and said with a nervous expression: "Xiao Jiu, are you okay?"
Ruan Jiu was stunned, his eyes still staring at the dark space in front of him.
"Xiao Jiu?"
Seeing Ruan Jiu's erratic expression, Sun Wukong realized that something was not quite right. So he stretched out his index finger and tapped Ruan Jiu's forehead.
It is also strange to say that after being tapped by Sun Wukong with his finger, Ruan Jiu instantly woke up from that chaotic and confused state.
"Senior brother?"
"What happened just now, why are you so distracted?" asked Sun Wukong.
Ruan Jiu pondered for a moment before he reacted. So she briefly told Sun Wukong what happened before.
"Oh, no wonder I can't find it, it turned out to be running to you. Sun Wukong said suddenly. But then he looked at Ruan Jiu beside him with a strange smile.
Ruan Jiu was hairy from his staring, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Senior brother, is there anything on my face......"
Sun Wukong said with a smile: "I really can't see that you are afraid of such a thing as ghosts." ”
Ruan Jiu touched his nose in embarrassment, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that he can't hide the fact that he is afraid of ghosts.
"That...... Senior brother, was that really a ghost just now?" Ruan Jiu didn't want to continue the discussion on this topic, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
Sun Wukong glanced at the entrance of the village in front of him and said, "It's not certain yet, but judging from the situation just now, it should be nine times out of ten." ”
"So what do we do now?
"Chasing, how could you miss such a fun thing?" Sun Wukong smiled, and couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
Ruan Jiu was speechless for a while, this Sun Monkey is really the Lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth. But then again, whether it was a ghost or not that was on his shoulder before, even Ruan Jiu himself was not very clear.
After that, Sun Wukong and Ruan Jiu have been looking along the main road, but the other party will not release demonic energy like monsters, and it is obviously not easy to find a target in the vast dark night.
As they were walking, the two came to the door of a villager's house. Since there is a mud wall in front of it, the farmer in front of you must be the one who lives at the end of the village.
"Senior brother, the front is outside the village. Ruan Jiu said softly.
Sun Wukong nodded, and then looked at the low and simple farmhouse on the side.
Like the other houses in the village, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this one. The oil lamp in the house had long since been extinguished, and it was impossible to see if there were any people living in it.
"Xiao Jiu, you are waiting outside. I'll go in and take a look. Sun Wukong said to Ruan Jiu beside him.
"Senior brother, I'm ...... Shall I go in with you?" Ruan Jiu said in a low voice.
Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, okay! ”
Ruan Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. To be honest, it was still a little panicked to let her stand outside alone. Following Sun Wukong, at least the safety can still be guaranteed.
Although it's a bit of a loss of face, if you compare it with your own life, face is really nothing.
The perimeter wall is made of earth and is only more than a man high. The two of them jumped lightly into the courtyard from the outside.
By the light of the moon, the two found that the family in front of them did not seem to be inhabited. The weeds in the courtyard were almost knee-length, and the rest of the courtyard was almost completely buried except for the middle of the yard.
Just as he was curious, Ruan Jiu suddenly saw something that seemed to be standing in the middle of the courtyard. When you look closely, you see that it is an open well.
Sun Wukong also noticed the existence of the well, and the two looked at each other, and both felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the well.
When he saw the well, Ruan Jiu had a very bad feeling in his heart. For some reason, she always felt that something terrible was going to crawl out of the well. The scene was very similar to a Japanese horror movie she had watched before.
Sun Wukong obviously didn't think about it that much, but he walked quickly to the well and leaned out directly to see what was inside. It's a pity that I watched it for a long time, and finally didn't find anything unusual in the well.
"Let's go inside and have a look. ”
Seeing that there was nothing to be found outside the courtyard, Sun Wukong proposed to go inside the house to check it out.
Just as the two of them turned and walked towards the house, there was a sudden sizzling sound behind them. It wasn't loud, but it was very harsh in the silence of the night.
The two turned around, eventually pinpointing the source of the sound to the well in the middle of the courtyard.
Probably out of fear of not being able to, Ruan Jiu couldn't help but take a step back and hide directly behind Sun Wukong.
The sizzling sound continued to ring, getting louder and louder as time went on.
Suddenly, a black shadow erupted from the mouth of the well. Ruan Jiu looked at it, and his face suddenly changed.
It turned out that this black shadow turned out to be slender black hair. What's even more terrifying is that these black hairs seem to be endless, and soon the entire front yard is covered.
Sun Wukong snorted lightly, only to see that he was holding a Ruyi golden hoop stick, and a vertical body appeared above the well.
"How dare you pretend to be a ghost in front of your grandfather Sun?
As he spoke, he swung his golden rod and slammed it into the well.
"Boom!"
There was only a loud bang, and the well was instantly smashed by two-thirds of the great power of the golden hoop rod. Strange to say, the black hair stopped squirming the moment the well was smashed.
Just when Ruan Jiu thought that the crisis was over, he saw that the black hair on the ground suddenly turned into a black stream of water, and stabbed straight towards Sun Wukong above the wellhead.
"Senior brother, be careful!"
Seeing this, Ruan Jiu couldn't help but change his face and blurted out loudly.
