"squeak--"
The wooden door's hinge made a slight sound,
No matter how hard Xiuxiu tried, she could never open the door.
She was stunned,
Then he looked back at the woman with her back to him.
The woman continued to sob,
After sobbing for a while,
‘She’ said in a low tone: “Since the guest can’t find any other place to stay, and you don’t mind sharing the same room with my husband’s corpse, let’s rest here for the night.”
Xiuxiu blinked,
She doesn't want to stay here,
If she could leave, she would have opened the door and walked away.
But this door cannot be pushed open.
The woman with her back to the mute woman said a few words and then fell silent.
Occasionally wipe my tears with my sleeve.
When Xiuxiu saw her, she made no other move.
Stayed for a while,
Just sat back on the bench.
She looked at the raised human figure lying on the earthen bed, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her little head.
The woman wiped her tears for a while,
He spoke again: "Sir, why don't you take a rest?"
She didn't wait for Xiuxiu to answer anything, and then sang the plaintive song: "I was falling asleep at one o'clock in the morning, and suddenly I heard the barking of a yellow dog..."
Accompanied by this burst of singing,
There was a real dog barking outside the window.
The oil lamp on the table swayed with firelight, making the shadows of the woman and the furnishings in the room sway and overlap.
The woman's back suddenly looks bigger and smaller,
It seems a bit psychedelic.
suddenly,
A woman dressed the same as her walked out from where the shadows overlapped.
There are no features on her face,
Long hair hanging down,
The white embroidered shoes under the skirt moved gently,
It's like stepping on the melody of a song: "It's time to fall asleep at two o'clock..."
The faceless woman walked up to Xiuxiu, her pale palms flicked back and forth in front of Xiuxiu, and a needle-like sound penetrated into Xiuxiu's mind: "Sir, why don't you rest?
Go to sleep now,
Take a rest quickly..."
Xiuxiu looked at the palms waving back and forth in front of her eyes,
She opened her mouth,
No sound can be made.
In fact, she wasn't sleepy at all. She had slept in the platoon car for a long time, and now she couldn't fall asleep even if she closed her eyes.
But she can't speak,
Then he made gestures with the faceless woman,
Tell the other person that you are not sleepy.
The Faceless Woman seemed unable to understand her gestures;
Still waving his hands in front of her.
She lowered her head,
Stop trying to make the other person understand what you mean.
Think about your own concerns.
The shadows in the house spread their teeth and claws, overlapping one another, constantly intersecting at the feet of the faceless woman. She mechanically stretched out her hand in front of Xiuxiu, and the woman on the kang behind her sang more and more shrillly.
The bed was laid down,
The bulging figure moved slightly, and one eye appeared from under the quilt, looking at Xiuxiu on the small bench.
Another deep male voice suddenly sounded from under the quilt: "Little girl, I will teach you a technique for awakening corpses - it can help you get over this predicament. Can you, will you inherit my mantle?!
I know you can't, can't speak!
Just make gestures with me, gestures! "
Xiuxiu heard the male voice,
So he quickly shook his head.
She has a master, and the master is very good to her.
Become someone else’s disciple,
Doesn’t it mean that we can no longer be masters and disciples with our master?
"Why?
Don't you want to live? ! "The person who was lying down was in a very unstable state.
The voice is sometimes weak and sometimes high-pitched, giving people the feeling of being out of breath and about to die.
The mute girl hesitated for a moment.
Nod,
The little hands began to make gestures.
She told the other party that she already had a master,
I won't join another teacher.
"..."
The person in the bedroom was silent for a while,
Suddenly he sighed and said: "It seems this is fate.
In this case, I don’t force you to become my teacher. I will still teach you the method, but if you escape alive, you must work with your teacher to send my body to the fire patrol shop!
Is this possible? "
Xiuxiu thought for a while and shook her head.
Making hand gestures - she didn't know where the fire patrol shop was, and she didn't know if her master and brothers were willing to take her there.
The man who was lying down was a little angry when he saw this: "This won't work, that won't work either! How on earth can it be done?!"
Xiuxiu pursed her lips and said nothing.
The faceless woman in front of him was still waving her hands.
He kept urging her to sleep.
But now she is less sleepy.
"I don't have much time!
That’s it!
I don’t ask you to do anything else - as long as you can escape from here with my body, that will be fine.
After escaping to heaven,
Ask your teacher,
Can you take my body back to the fire patrol shop?
I won’t treat you badly—if you send my body back to the Fire Patrol Shop, I’ll reward you with the shed ghost skin on my body! "
The man lying down kept talking,
There was great pain lurking in the voice.
Xiuxiu heard his words like this,
After thinking about it seriously, he nodded.
I just tell my master and brothers about this, but whether or not I agree will be discussed later - this is always okay.
"good,
I'll teach you the techniques for awakening corpses.
Corpse control tactics,
The corpse-discharging technique.
In this way, I can attract my zombie, which is entrusted with the "black disaster". With the hands of the zombie, I can cover the face of the faceless woman and blacken her face.
Then blacken the face of the craftsman with its back to you,
You can get out of here!
You make a fist with your right hand, place it against the center of your left fist, and press the thumb of your left hand against the tiger's mouth of your right hand.
The right thumb sticks out..."
——
"At the beginning of a man's life, he obeyed the heaven and responded to the people;
The blazing fire will last forever in the world..."
"At the beginning of a man's life, he obeyed the heaven and responded to the people;
The blazing fire will last forever in the world..."
Bang!
The sound of the woodshed door being pushed open made Li Zhuer's shoulders tremble slightly as she huddled in the corner.
The dim light outside the door shines on the figure at the door,
It cast a huge shadow on the wall of the woodshed where Li Zhuer's back was leaning.
Zhu'er looked at the figure standing at the door, kept repeating the four mantras taught to her by her master, and waved the Yan Fei Dao in her hand.
But he couldn't hit the figure walking towards him.
The figure's naked skin was covered with black lines.
The black lines connected together to vaguely form an inexplicable shape.
Wisps of strange charm flowed in these black lines, dispersed outside, and were burned and dispersed by the life-protecting fire held by Pearl in her other hand.
That figure that looked quite tall and strong,
He stretched out a hand towards Li Zhuer,
As it reaches out,
The two are obviously three or five steps apart.
But Li Zhuer felt that the corner of her clothes was reaching out to it, her hair was reaching out to it, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand - if she stretched out, she would die!
An almost imperceptible arc of thunder flashed on the Yanling knife in her hand.
It made her palms tingle slightly,
But his mind suddenly came to his senses!
But it was only a moment of clarity,
As the figure approached, he kept reaching out to Li Zhuer,
In the end, she didn't put her hand on the palm of that figure first and then die,
All flesh, blood, and internal organs are separated from oneself, and they ‘hold hands and die’ with that figure!
Pearl burst into tears,
Biting his lower lip, Beiqi suddenly threw the life-saving fire into the firewood pile next to him and lit it.
boom!
The fire suddenly rose,
It also wrapped her figure.
She kept reciting the four mantras silently.
"At the beginning of a man's life, he obeyed the heaven and responded to the people;
The blazing fire will last forever in the world..."
The fire swept over,
The fever has not subsided yet,
But it wrapped around her body first.
She felt she was going to die——
Drowsy in such hot breath,
However, there was another aura covering her body, guiding the clusters of flames into her pores.
She closed her eyes tightly,
Hear the sound of "Bipiao" and "Bipiao" burning firewood,
In the darkness, I saw an indescribable black shadow with balls of fire falling off it.
——
Li Qingmiao was fixed on the earthen bed.
Her torch fell to the ground and was extinguished.
She closed her eyes,
Holding a copper thimble tightly in both hands,
Put it on your chest.
There were tears falling from the corners of my eyes.
It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Only a pair of white palms held needle and thread, piercing the skin on her face.
But she didn't notice the pain,
Thinking back on what happened in the past few days,
Qingmiao is satisfied in his heart.
so good……
I am very content to have a few days like this in my life...
——
On the window paper, the silhouette of a woman threading a needle is reflected.
Su Wu checked around the yard.
No other clues were found.
Then he looked at the door to the main room again.
He didn't hesitate,
He took a step and walked into the door.
I saw an earthen kang,
And the embossed human-shaped quilt on the earthen bed,
After lying down, he faced the wall and his back to his woman.
There was no needle or thread in the woman's hand, which was completely different from the silhouette Su Wu saw in the window paper.
‘It’ seemed to notice Su Wu walking in the door,
He said sadly: "Guest, my husband died tonight, and I really can't make room for my little family.
Guests should find another place to stay. "
Su Wu frowned.
I always feel that this 'woman's' words have no beginning or end.
When did he say he was going to stay here?
Could it be that the group of exorcists from earlier arrived here and specifically asked to stay overnight? !
Corpse exorcists are also people who have come into contact with strange phenomena. They should know that many strange phenomena can be avoided, so try to avoid them.
What reason do they have for deliberately provoking the treacherous people in this treacherous place?
Could it be that this group of corpse exorcists are probably newcomers traveling for the first time?
Thoughts are running through my mind,
Su Wu tried to talk to the 'woman': "In that case, madam, please open the door for me and let me leave this place."
He had no time to care about the fact that the other party's husband had just died.
The woman on the kang with her back to him is probably a liar.
How could Gui have a husband?
The 'woman' was sobbing, but did not answer Su Wu's words.
Su Wu frowned and looked at her back for a while.
His eyes focused on the bed quilt with a human figure floating on the kang.
Is this her dead husband?
On the window paper just now, she was clearly sewing something with thread, but when she entered the room, she could only be seen sitting on the kang in an orderly manner, with her back to him.
Could it be that the one she had stitched up earlier was her husband?
Come,
Show me what your husband is!
The idea is certain,
Su Wu walked to the kang.
After looking at the coarse quilt for a while,
Suddenly he stretched out his hand,
and suddenly lifted up the quilt!
A pair of black and abnormally long nails suddenly stretched out from under the quilt, and the dry back of his hand was covered with black seams,
and his claws fiercely grabbed Su Wu's throat!
At the same time,
the woman with her back to Su Wu,
turned her head 180 degrees, facing him, and showed a strange smile: "Since the guest can't find another place to stay, and you don't mind living in the same room with my husband's corpse, then you can rest here for a night."
Huh!
The oil lamp suddenly went out!
Su Wu took a step back,
but a piece of yellow paper fell off his chest,
On the paper, the words "Parody-Passing Five Gates" passed by,
it floated in the air,
and suddenly turned into a red face, and stuck to Su Wu's face.
