Luo Jiutian turned back three times as he walked on the avenue in front of the ancestral hall. Feeling the hateful sight coming from behind him, a chill ran down his spine, like a thorn in his back.
The woman followed him step by step, her eyes and expression very gloomy.
There was no one else on the road but the two of them, and the ashes were still floating as they walked slowly through the pungent dust.
Morning fog appeared, resulting in very low visibility in the village. The scenes in the distance were all shrouded in dark fog, looking lifeless.
Luo Jiutian turned back to confirm the woman's position.
Maybe...you can use this woman to help you open the door to the crematorium?
But how to use it?
Luo Jiutian deliberately slowed down his pace, as if chatting, and asked the woman behind him, "By the way, do you have somewhere to go?"
The woman seemed not to have expected Luo Jiutian to ask this question, and there was real confusion in her eyes.
"……place……"
"Are you going home?" Luo Jiutian simply stood still and turned around to ask.
"Home……"
Seeing the woman's eyes full of confusion, Luo Jiutian took advantage of the victory and pursued her, "Do you have a family?"
The woman's eyes suddenly became fierce. She gritted her teeth and walked quickly towards Luo Jiutian without saying a word.
"Eh... eh..."
Luo Jiutian thought the woman was going to attack him, so he quickly jumped to the side. Unexpectedly, the woman completely ignored him, but passed by where he was standing just now and walked straight ahead.
The woman is not looking at herself.
But a house not far away.
The house was also made of bricks and stones, and the structure was basically well preserved. The door was open, and the dark doorway was like the mouth of the building.
Luo Jiutian thought for a while and followed.
The two men moved from the rear to the front, walking in thick fog and ashes.
The woman pushed open the crumbling fence of the compound, and a whole row of fragile fences fell down in a row. She didn't even look at it, and walked towards the gate angrily.
Luo Jiutian followed closely behind, turning his head to look into the room.
The woman entered the house and still didn't stop. Instead, she walked straight to the inner room.
Luo Jiutian stood at the door and looked around. The living room was burned out and empty. There were no items or people. The woman had already entered a room.
Do you want to... go in?
Luo Jiutian checked up and down, left and right.
It shouldn't be anything special, right?
At this time, a strange sound came from the room where the woman entered.
It sounded like crying, but it was much scarier than ordinary crying.
Luo Jiutian didn't hesitate anymore and walked in. Following the sound, he walked step by step towards the open door of the room.
Little by little...go gently...
The first thing I saw was the woman's back.
Then there was a hard bed with only the metal headboard remaining.
The woman's back was facing him, standing beside the bed. Luo Jiutian pressed against the wall behind him and took a few steps forward.
Sure enough, there was someone on the bed.
A man was lying on his back on the hard-looking bed frame. The woman lowered her head and seemed to be looking at him.
Luo Jiutian came closer.
etc.
He narrowed his eyes.
There is another person beside the man.
A long-haired woman lay in the same position next to the man's hand, with their shoulders touching each other, eyes wide open, staring motionlessly at the ceiling.
Luo Jiutian speculated on the relationship between the three people.
Is it a love triangle?
but……
Luo Jiutian crossed his arms and stretched his neck.
The two people on the bed looked a bit old.
Could it be...
Luo Jiutian opened his mouth slightly.
Are they the woman's parents?

"Why are there so many!" Qin Yin leaned against the cave wall, pulled out a slender thigh bone from the bone mountain, and put it aside.
Everyone else was huffing and puffing while carrying the bone mountain. When Baomu heard Qin Yin's complaint, he dropped the handful of bones on the ground and glanced at Qin Yin lightly, "Sister Xiaoyin, please don't complain. ”
After all, you didn't do any work.
The bone mountain is made up of sharp bones, so the fool's brute force is of no use. If they want to get over it, they can only combine the spirit of Yu Gong and Jing Wei and move these bones to the side one by one to open up a path. "Bone Road".
Bao Mu and Wen Ling were so tired that they were sweating profusely. Wen Ling was already weak, her steps were shaky, and almost all the bones in her arms were left behind by her.
"It's not connected yet," the fool became impatient, "Mr. Shen, is the door still there?"
"Here!" Mr. Shen's voice came closer to them.
At least there is progress.
The narrow cave was tightly blocked by dense bones. There were more bones here than they imagined. Mr. Shen had no hands and basically had no ability to work. Qin Yin was injured again, so the task of moving the mountain fell to San. On human head.
"Fortunately, you guys are down," Qin Yin said, "otherwise, Wen Ling and I wouldn't be able to move it all even to death."
Before he finished speaking, two touches of pale gold began to shuttle through the Bone Mountain.
"This..." Baomu stood up straight and took a breath, "Are they those two little geckos?"
Qin Yin narrowed his eyes and looked, "Yes, it's them...hey, when did the little guy run in?"
"They should also be some kind of spiritual pets," the fool wiped his sweat, "just like rabbits and children of light."
"Then they are mine!" Qin Yin immediately raised his hand.
She has been envious of Xiaolan, Taoist priest and Baomu who have spiritual pets for a long time.
"Why?" the fool said, "The gecko was found by the Son of Light. The Son of Light belongs to Baomu, so the gecko should also belong to Baomu."
"Ah?...I..." Baomu was confused, but did not deny it.
"It was the gecko that chose me. You and the Taoist Master were holding this gecko at the time. Later, it appeared in my bag for no apparent reason, which shows that it still prefers me."
The fool thought seriously, "You really didn't steal it?"
"What are you talking about! Why did I steal it? They were still inside the mummy of my mother at that time. I don't know what they were used for. Why did I steal them?" Qin Yin raised a toe bone and threw it at the fool.
"That's strange," the fool turned to look at Baomu, "Baomu, that gecko was indeed in your bag at that time, right?"
"Is this important?" Baomu weakly supported his waist.
"This is very strange." The fool held up a large handful of bones. "Did the gecko really run into the little sound bag on its own?"
"Isn't the big gecko dead?"
"Yes, it won't move at all," the fool helped Wen Ling, who was so tired that he knelt on the ground, to the side, and continued, "If Xiaoyin hadn't taken it..."
"I didn't take it!"
"...Then someone else moved the gecko." The fool said.
"Who moved that thing for what? Taoist priest and Jiutian never touched my bag, and Xiaolan never touched your bag. In my impression, before camping that night, the Son of Light was running around... …”
Everyone's eyes turned to the Son of Light who was rolling and playing aside.
