"Of course," Xiaolan suppressed her excitement and nodded heavily, "There is still some time before dark, and I will get my family's face back before then."
Doesn't sound too suspicious?
The linen clothes and the yellow skirts exchanged glances, their expressions solemn.
Xiaolan thought it was better to be quiet at the moment.
Finally, Ma Bu Yi's fingers covering her right eye began to exert force. Xiaolan almost thought she was going to do something to her eyes. After a while, a few wisps of light blue mist gradually seeped out from between the fingers of Ma Bu Yi. That mist It quickly dissipated in the air, and Xiaolan felt that the temperature around her body seemed to have dropped a bit.
The linen man breathed a sigh of relief and panted slightly. After a long while, he took away the palms covering his eyes.
There were a few bloodshot streaks in her right eye, but otherwise there was nothing abnormal.
Seeing Xiaolan staring into her eyes, Ma Buyi smiled and spread his palms.
"it's here."
In the middle of her palm lay a fragment of a gem emitting a glowing blue light.
"This..." Xiaolan blinked. This was two extremes from hiding his face in the water tank.
"Our faces are in this ice crystal," Azabu Yi looked at the ice crystal in awe, "Put it in your pottery jar. Even if the reproduction is successful, I'm sorry I can't teach you how to do it. Use it, after all..."
Azalea smiled apologetically, and Xiaolan understood what she meant.
"Their maternal bodies must communicate with each other about their maternal bodies," Huang Skirt said on behalf of her sister, "You bring the ice crystal back first, and then let your mother and my sister discuss these matters."
Xiaolan took the ice crystal and nodded.
Finally got it.
Xiaolan walked towards the door, and the two sisters said goodbye to her anxiously. When she walked to the door, Xiaolan turned around and waved to the two of them, "I will definitely come back as soon as possible."
Linen clothes clasped his hands and nodded.
But Huang Skirt looked behind Xiaolan with an impatient look on her face, "What are you doing standing here? You're in the way, get out of the way!"
Xiaolan turned her head.
The two little girls stood upright, with their backs pressed against the door, staring at Xiaolan maliciously.
Xiaolan's heart suddenly went cold.
She quickly grasped the ice crystal in her hand.
"Stop making trouble," Ma Buyi smiled softly, "Be good, open the door for brother, it's getting dark soon."
"We can't let him go." The two little girls stretched out their hands at the same time, pointing at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan is already choosing an escape route.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Huang Skirt stood up and said, "Get away! Do you deserve a beating?..."
"He's a thief," one child said.
"He stole something," said another child.
The eyes of the linen clothes and yellow skirts shot towards her at the same time.
"Are you kidding?" Huang Skirt smiled dryly, "What did he steal?"
"Meat!" they both said at the same time.
The surrounding atmosphere froze for a few seconds.
Xiaolan swallowed.
It's too late to throw away the two eyeballs in my pocket now.
"He stole the best meat." A child pointed to Xiaolan's pocket.
"It's hidden in my pocket." Another child pointed over.
The linen clothes and yellow skirt looked at Xiaolan's bulging pockets.
"Yesterday's meat is indeed missing part of it." Ampoo murmured.
"Then...then you can't doubt that he took it!" Huang Skirt said sternly, "Didn't you also say yesterday that when you cut the meat, your eyes..."
"Shut up," Azabu Yi said coldly, "Just let him talk."
Xiaolan raised her hand and touched her pocket.
"What's in your pocket?" The linen-clothed face seemed to have undergone some changes, "Take it out."
Xiaolan slowly put his hand into his pocket.
The two children had evil smiles of success on their faces.
She felt it, the eyes were sticky and smooth to the touch.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Xiaolan took a deep breath.
She quickly took out her hand and threw the thing in her hand to the left side of the room.
While the four people's eyes shifted away from the thing, Xiaolan rushed towards the window on the right, turned over and jumped out.
There was a chaotic scream behind him. Xiaolan didn't look back, got up from the ground and ran away.
The door opened with a bang, and Xiaolan heard Huang Skirt screaming something at the door.
She looked up.
It's getting dark.
Very good.
When it gets dark, these guys shouldn't be able to appear outdoors.
Bar?
Xiaolan looked back.
The other half of her heart also went cold.
There was really no one following him.
That's because the thing behind him can no longer be described as "human".
Under the moonlight, a pale thing was running towards Xiaolan on its hands and knees. Through the figure of the thing, you could vaguely tell that it still had a trace of human characteristics.
The thing moved very fast, and soon ran in front of Xiaolan, opened its arms and rushed towards it.
A skull face was facing Xiaolan's face.
No wonder I felt that there seemed to be some kind of change in Azabu Yi's face just now.
It turned out to be this.
Xiaolan was pushed to the ground by the skeleton. The skeleton raised its claws and grabbed Xiaolan's right hand hard.
A trace of blood suddenly appeared on Xiaolan's forearm, but instead she clenched the ice crystal in her hand tighter. Xiaolan raised her left arm and hit the skeleton's neck with her elbow.
Too hard.
Xiaolan heard a crunching sound, but was extremely sure that it was the sound made by her own bones.
Seeing that Xiaolan wouldn't let go, the skeleton pressed Xiaolan's neck with one hand, opened his mouth, and tried to bite Xiaolan's fist.
It planned to bite its own arm off entirely.
Xiaolan hurriedly used her left hand to block the skeleton's big mouth. The skeleton's sharp teeth cut open the skin on Xiaolan's left arm and even embedded in her bones. Xiaolan couldn't help shouting, raised her legs, and kicked hard. Skeleton body.
The skeleton was kicked away a little. Xiaolan immediately turned over and tried to escape, but suddenly there was a stinging pain from behind. The nails of the skeleton dug into Xiaolan's shoulders. As soon as Xiaolan got up, her legs and feet went weak and she fell down again. On the ground, the skeleton's teeth aimed at Xiaolan's neck this time. Xiaolan tilted her body suddenly, and the skeleton only bit her left collarbone. The fragile collarbone made a harsh breaking sound, and Xiaolan's blood and sweat melted into it. Together, they seeped into the ground beneath them.
Blood flowed into her eyes, and Xiaolan raised her head with difficulty. Not far away, two figures were approaching.
Someone is calling his name.
It is anti-inflammatory and precious wood.
The skeleton turned Xiaolan over hard, intending to grab the ice crystal hidden in her right hand. Xiaolan looked at the two shadows, used her last strength, and threw the thing in her hand hard.
That thing drew a beautiful arc under the moonlight.
"Brother Baomu, come on!" Although Xiaolan tried her best to shout, her voice was still very low, "That's my face!"
It fell far behind the two.
The skeleton immediately abandoned Xiaolan beneath him and ran towards the thing with fluttering limbs.
Baomu and Xieyan didn't listen to Xiaolan's words. They ran to Xiaolan's side and helped her up who was covered in blood.
Xiaolan looked over Baomu's shoulder and looked a few meters away, looking for the ice crystal skeleton on the ground.
She smiled.
Baomu was trembling all over. He looked at the wounds on Xiaolan's body, but couldn't make a sound.
"How are you?" Jie Yan was also sweating profusely, "What is that?"
Xiaolan was dying and said, "That's the guy who stole my face."
"Your face..." Jie Yan's eyes widened and he looked back at the skeleton.
"Yes, my face," Xiaolan grabbed Baomu's hand and squeezed it hard, "This is my face, Brother Baomu, put it on quickly."
Baomu opened his palms.
The ice crystal, stained with Xiaolan's blood, lay squarely in Baomu's hand, glowing with blue light.
At the same time, the skeleton picked up something from the ground. It looked at the moon, the eyeball, and roared angrily.
It immediately turned around and ran towards the three of them.
Xiaolan grabbed Baomu's hand and pressed it on his duck-egg head.
Blinding blue light spread out.
The skeleton's footsteps suddenly stopped, its pace slowed down, and its body gradually changed.
It returned to its human form.
It's just that he no longer has a face.
The linen clothes screamed and covered her face, billowing black smoke poured out of her fingers, she took a few more steps, and finally fell to the ground, motionless.
A burst of choked crying penetrated into the ears of the three of them.
Xiaolan took away her and Baomu's hands.
Eyes, nose, mouth... Baomu has his own face.
only……
Xiaolan couldn't care less about the pain and struggled to sit up.
Baomu grinned, arched his nose, and wrinkled his little face. Tears mingled with the blood and mud on his face, and he let out intermittent sobs.
So ugly, so ugly.
Xiaolan couldn't sit still.
Brother Baomu, please don’t use my face like this, okay?
Xiaolan was shocked by her own ugliness, and instantly felt that the pain in her flesh and skin was nothing.
"Xiaolan..." Baomu stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, causing his face to become even more discolored, "It hurts, right? It's all Brother Baomu's fault..."
"Don't cry, don't cry," Xiaolan patted Baomu's back to comfort him, "I... I'm just fine, it doesn't hurt that much, I just bleed a little, don't cry... What are you doing?" Cry harder?”
Xiaolan hesitated to speak and looked at his ferocious face.
"I didn't expect you to be quite cute." Jie Yan looked at Xiaolan and Baomu as if they were just watching the fun.
Xiaolan glanced at him feebly, as if to say, "You can even see that?"
"Our Xiaolan... is the cutest... wuwuwu..." Baomu cried.
"I can vaguely tell," Jie Yan smiled, wiped the dirt off his palms, and stood up, "Okay, it's almost dawn. We can't stay here. If the villagers find out, we have succeeded in stealing the face." Meat, I don’t know what it will do to us..."
Baomu helped Xiaolan up.
"Then where are we going?"
"Let's go to her house," Xiaolan pointed to the linen clothes behind her. "We'll pick up her body and then pretend to be her family. It just so happens that someone from her family is talking to me... that's Jie Yan's face. When it comes to love, Brother Baomu’s face and Xieyan’s face are still neighbors, so if the three of us appear together, others won’t say anything.”
The three men carried the body in linen clothes and ran back overnight.
As soon as she entered the door, Xiaolan saw the dead bodies of one large, two small and three lying beside the door. Like the linen clothes, the three people's death conditions were also very tragic. Xiaolan carried the yellow skirt back to the bedroom, thinking about this not long ago. People are still trying their best to protect themselves, but they feel a little bit sad.
The three of them had just finished placing the corpses in the room when a cock crowed and it was dawn.
Xiaolan found two pairs of clothes from the closet, one for herself and one for Baomu. The two of them changed into clothes. Xiaolan's wounds were bandaged, and there was a sound of opening the door at the right time.
"Why are you here?" A man's voice came from the living room.
Next, Jie Yan spoke, "I...I'm here to accompany..."
Xiaolan and Baomu quickly ran out of the bedroom.
A middle-aged man with a stubble on his face came into the living room. When the man saw the two of them, he said "Oh~" understandingly.
"Where is the goods I want?" The man came over looking around.
Baomu looked at Xiaolan blankly.
"What do you think he's doing?" The man said with a bad smile, "Why, we haven't even started living together yet, and yet he's ready to hand over the things at home? ... Where is your sister?"
Baomu pointed casually, "She just went out."
"Going out? Why are you going out at this time? Didn't I say that I would come to pick up the goods at this time...Hey, aren't they all ready?"
The man saw the paper man and the coffin on the side of the workroom. He walked over with a smile and reached out to touch the paper man to inspect the goods.
"Then you all move away." Baomu said quickly.
The man glanced at Baomu and said, "Isn't it usually your sister who makes the decision? Why do you dare to make the decision yourself now?"
"My sister said you can take it away when you come," Baomu raised his hands outward, "take it away quickly, take it away."
"Okay, I'll take it away then," the man said, carrying a paper figure and heading out the door, "Two grown men, don't just look at it, come and help."
So Xiaolan and Xieyan, two grown men, each picked up a paper man and followed the man.
There was a large trolley parked outside the yard. The man placed the paper figure on the right side of the trolley, waved it, and commanded, "You two, go in and move the coffin out for me."
The two moved the coffin out again. The wound on Xiaolan's shoulder and back was still aching, so she could only grit her teeth and work as a mover.
The man asked the two men to move the remaining paper figures into the car, while he himself sat beside the car with a smile. After the last move, the two men wiped their sweat and were about to go back, but they were stopped.
"You two stop!" The man glanced left and right and waved to the two of them mysteriously, "Come here..."
The two walked over obediently.
"I'm telling you," the man whispered in their ears, "my family caught some meat last night!"
Xiaolan and Xieyan exchanged glances.
"Congratulations," Xiaolan said perfunctorily.
"For the sake of you two helping me move things, come on, I'll let you two choose first." The man crossed his arms, "Tell me, which piece of meat do you want? We will divide the meat later, I will give it to you Save it in advance to save you from sharing the good meat!"
