Chapter 63: The Blue-Eyed Giant Rat
Entering the high wall of Ah Po Fang, the first thing that catches your eye is a pile of chopped dry firewood, which is stacked in the middle of the courtyard and scattered in the shape of a pyramid. The courtyard was so clean that there was not even a trace of dust visible on the ground, and two huge iron stoves stood on either side of the dry wood, one of which was still bubbling with a slight steaming sound, as if something was being boiled, and the strange fragrance wafted through the air.
He hid in the darkness and observed for a moment, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he walked out and walked straight to the nearest iron furnace to check.
The iron stove was not in use, and there was some blackened charcoal left in the bottom of the stove, without any temperature. Tuchen reached out and tapped lightly on the iron furnace, and the sound was unusually crisp and slightly echoed, which proved that there was nothing in it. So he went around to the other side, and came to the steaming iron furnace, and the strange smell in the air suddenly became rich, and the appetite of the person who smelled it increased greatly, and his saliva was repeated.
Standing in front of the iron furnace, the gurgling sound was very clear, accompanied by bursts of heat, and the lid on the iron furnace also trembled slightly, as if the pot had been boiled. Tuchen stretched out his hand to hold the lid of the pot, paused and lifted it one by one, stared down with wide eyes, and then breathed a sigh of relief. I saw that there was nothing terrible in the pot, but some very ordinary condiments and pepper condiments.
The soup in the furnace is milky white, exactly the same as the soul soup that Grandma brought to a few people a few days ago. Tuchen frowned and pondered for a moment, then put the lid back on, got up and went into the back kitchen of Grandma's Place.
Although the grandmother has left, the doors and windows in the courtyard do not seem to be locked except for the gate. Tuchen easily entered the back kitchen, and after a brief turn, he didn't find anything abnormal. In addition to fruits and vegetables in the kitchen, everything has nothing to do with the demons.
"Could it be...... Is Maohu misjudged?"
Tuchen muttered to himself, took a deep breath and was about to leave, when he suddenly found that something suddenly flashed in a room in the courtyard. Wait for a moment, and observe for himself. Sure enough, after a few moments, a faint green light flashed in one of the deepest rooms on the west side of the courtyard.
The green light was very dim, and it lit up and down very quickly, flashing and flashing only for a moment.
Taking a deep breath, Tuchen took out the dagger he had prepared in advance, held it tightly in his hand, and slowly walked to the window of the room. Holding his breath, he gently picked a hole in the paper window with his index finger and pressed one eye up.
Another moment passed, the green light flashed suddenly, and before Tuchen could see anything clearly, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded from a distance!
The thunder was very crisp, but there was no lightning in the air, and Tuchen knew that this must be the thunder spell released by Mao Hu, which meant that the grandma had returned!
was thinking about the next step in his mind, and the sound of unlocking suddenly sounded outside the iron door, and Tuchen complained in his heart about why Mao Hu and Mo Erha didn't give the signal earlier, and at the same time slowly retreated against the wall, wanting to hide himself.
After taking seven or eight steps back, the iron door creaked open, and the figure of the grandmother appeared in the cold moonlight. Maybe it was because she was in too much hurry before, so she was panting very hard at this time, and immediately after closing the iron door, she found a piece of wood to use as a bench and sat down, constantly muttering something in her mouth.
Tuchen swallowed, although he didn't know what clues Mao Hu had followed all the way, but at least he hadn't found anything so far. If you go out now, you will inevitably startle the snake, and it will be even more difficult to lure out that harmful monster at that time!
was thinking quickly, Tuchen had unconsciously retreated to the door of the house, and with a hand, the door was quietly pushed open, and he also lost his balance, and the whole person sat in!
The floor of the room was full of hay, so he sat in it without making much noise, he forcibly suppressed his nervousness, slowly got up and closed the door, and looked around with the faint light.
At this moment, the green light in the room rose again, and at that moment, Tuchen seemed to see a pile of round watermelons not far away. And the source of that green light comes from the back of this pile of watermelons!
Slowly approaching, Tuchen took a deep breath, trying to figure out what the source of the green light was. Suddenly, a watermelon rolled down on the pile of watermelons and happened to hit his toes and stopped. Then the bright moonlight outside the window, Tuchen leaned over to take a closer look, and suddenly gasped and lit up, the fear in his heart doubled, and he almost couldn't control his nervous emotions and ran out directly!
The thing that rolled down in front of him was not a watermelon, but a human head. The skull was highly decomposed, and most of the skin on its face had been peeled off, but it didn't smell like a foul smell.
Looking up at the mountain of 'watermelons' in front of him again, Tuchen only felt that his scalp was tingling, and he mechanically took a few steps forward to go around to the back. Suddenly, I realized that the burst of green light came from the eyes of the mouse, which was as large as a tanuki, and was lying behind the 'watermelon pile' and chewing something with relish. The two eyes are like two green lanterns, as soon as they open and close, the surroundings flash and disappear, which is extremely charming!
The scene was completely unexpected, and he instinctively took a big step back, and the head at his feet was kicked to the side with a soft sound.
The noise seemed to disturb the rat with its eyes closed, and when it suddenly opened its eyes, everything in the room was covered in a faint green light.
Tuchen looked at it, and his heart was even more shocked. I saw that in this small room, piles of human limbs were placed on top of the hay. There are heads, and there are arms, and there are thighs, and there are hands and feet...... Each part was neatly cut and sorted, some of which were already rotting, some were intact, and some were just beginning to decay.
Seeing all this, Tuchen immediately had a conclusion in his heart. This giant rat is the demon clan that harms people, Grandma is an accomplice, and what is piled up here is the remains of those missing people!
Now that all this has been ascertained, Tuchen no longer hesitates, puts on a fighting posture and raises his knife and rushes over!
But just as he rushed closer, the giant rat suddenly closed its eyes and dissipated into the air in a black gas. Suddenly, the green light in the room disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
Standing in place for a moment, Tu Chen's brows furrowed even tighter: "No, there is no demonic energy, that giant rat is not a demon!" With that, he turned around and came to the window, looking out through the small hole he had just cut out.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, your whole body trembles, and you see that the grandma has already stood up, walked to the iron stove and looked at the soup in it, and then walked straight to the room where Tuchen was!
