I clutched the turf on the ground tightly. Originally, I wanted to refuse directly.
How could I have given up on the paper figures Xu, He Gu Po and He Pheasant just because I was afraid of death?
But the secret the watchman told me made me feel suffocated.
What's the secret about me?
Suddenly, there was even more sweat on my forehead, and I stared at the watchman so hard that my eyes almost bulged out.
"What secret?!" I asked hoarsely.
"I know where you come from, and why that poor dead woman was sent to the hanging river as a sacrifice."
"I know more about what your father has deceived you. You are very pitiful. You have lived half your life and you still don't know anything." The watchman said quietly again.
But just at this moment, a burst of barking suddenly came from behind me!
The barking sound was extremely fierce, it was clearly He Gui Po's wolf mastiff!
The watchman raised his head coldly, glanced behind me, and curled up into a sneer.
"To kill, you need to sharpen your knife. The faster the knife, the more blood will flow. The longer the knife is sharpened, the more panicked the person who is about to be slaughtered will be. Li Yinyang, if you want to find me, just come and find me alone." After saying this, the watchman straightened up. , wielding a cane, and left quickly in the other direction.
His speed was much faster than that of a normal person. His two crutches seemed to be blown by the wind, and he disappeared from my sight in the blink of an eye...
There was a rapid tapping sound behind him, like a horse's hooves.
I struggled and looked back, and saw a figure that looked like a calf jumping up behind me.
This is clearly the wolf mastiff!
Its scarlet eyes were staring straight at the direction the watchman had left, and it barked twice fiercely.
But he didn't catch up...
At this time, my mind was buzzing, and the watchman's words made me even more confused.
The pain in my waist and abdomen improved a little, and I struggled to get up.
The wolf mastiff's blood-red eyes glanced at me coldly.
It licked the corners of its mouth and then turned its gaze to the wet corpse lying beside it.
Suddenly, the greed and ferocity in its eyes almost burst out!
I immediately thought that what He Fei told me, the evil corpses were just food for the wolf mastiffs... Every wolf mastiff survived by digging up graves and eating the evil corpses.
Frightened, I shouted: "Don't move, the old man wants the body!"
Faintly, I blocked it sideways.
The wolf mastiff barked twice more, seeming to threaten me.
I didn't move away, I just stared at it!
Suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.
Soon, the paper man Xu came into view.
He frowned, his hands tensed in front of him, and the steel wire reflected in the sun.
"Yin Yang, what's going on? The big mastiff suddenly rushed out. The ghost lady said the watchman is coming?" I pursed my lips and responded in a low voice: "I just walked out of the forest and he came. He gave me two walking sticks. , Knocked me down." I only said that much and then kept silent.
Paperman Xu's slender cheeks seemed to be sunken by two points, and his eyes were filled with doubts.
"That old guy, has changed his nature? If he wanted to kill you, you would already be a corpse." The paper man Xu's eyebrows formed into a knot.
I was struggling with how to explain to the paper man Xu, but his face suddenly changed slightly and he asked eagerly: "Where is the pheasant?"
I quickly replied: "He Zhi is cutting down trees in the willow forest. I want to send the found body to you and the old man first." I tried my best to calm my mind, but my voice was still hoarse.
Only then did the paper man Xu's eyes fall on the wet corpse.
There was a look of fear in his eyes immediately.
But in the blink of an eye, all the emotions in his eyes disappeared.
Paperman Xu licked his lips and murmured: "There is actually a drought demon buried in this willow forest. This is an official uniform... an official hat... This corpse must be at least forty or fifty years old. I don't know where it is." Drought demons that grow every year..."
My heart pounded again because I didn't know what a drought demon was.
But the look in Xu’s eyes made me feel a little dangerous.
Of course, it's the corpse that's "dangerous."
"Uncle Xu...the old man wants to use this corpse to deal with the watchman. I will send it there with you first, and then go to He Fei and get the coffin with her." I said immediately.
Paperman Xu shook his head and said: "I will just take the body over. The sudden appearance of the watchman should be the reason for this drought. He has a weird temper. He should not bother to kill you first, so he didn't kill you. He was waiting to force Granny He to death before taking action."
"Go and help He Pheasant."
Saying that, Paperman Xu reached out to pull the rope around the body.
My body only stiffened slightly, then I stopped blocking him and stepped aside.
During this process, the paper man Xu also moved the basket in front of him and directly carried the body on his back.
He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, his eyes clearly softening even more.
I know that this emotion is called trust.
If I had doubted Paperman Xu just one more time, I'm afraid there would have been an irreparable rift between the two of us.
Similarly, what I said to He Zhi before also strengthened my belief that I would not doubt the people around me or cause them to be "hurt".
Paperman Xu walked quickly towards the direction he came from, carrying the wet corpse on his back.
The wolf mastiff stared at me again, then turned around and left closely with the paper man Xu.
I stood there for a moment.
When I lifted my legs again, I did not enter the willow forest... but walked towards the yard of the ghost woman's house.
In about a quarter of an hour, I arrived outside the yard.
There are several mulberry trees planted outside the courtyard, and there is also a poplar tree in the courtyard.
I went straight into the yard, found a hatchet, and started chopping down the mulberry trees!
In fact, I was very confused at the moment, and all I was thinking about were the words the watchman said to me.
My mother, is she a sacrifice?
And my dad, what is he hiding from me?
Where am I from?
More importantly, how could the watchman know my life experience?
I cut down the tree just to distract myself from my thoughts, because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to bear it anymore, so I went straight to the watchman...
With the sound of "ka-ka", I struck hard every time!
Soon, I chopped down a mulberry tree, and then I chopped down the second one!
It's not convenient for me to cut down the tree directly in front of the ghost woman's door, and I don't want to look for it.
But if you don’t plant mulberries in front of you, don’t plant willows in the back, and don’t plant willows in the back, and don’t plant ghosts in the courtyard, they will clap their hands.
Granny He directly took over all three of these points, which was enough to turn the courtyard of the He family into a haunted house. When I learned this, I thought about coming back and telling Granny He that the tree must be cut down!
Otherwise, Sang Tong's death would make the He family extinct.
Yang is like a ghost, and there is a little ghost who claps and cheers all the year round, waiting for the He family to die out.
The Liulinzi behind the courtyard even attracts souls. After a person dies, the soul cannot be reincarnated. It will enter Liulinzi and become a lonely ghost, even in the next life...
