My heart skipped a beat.
At the same time, Luo Hu and Zhao Xi both looked at me, and their expressions changed suddenly.
"Brother Luo...what's wrong with this fortune ghost..." Zhao Xi's eyes flashed with surprise.
Luo Hu had a gloomy look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
I stared at Lao Gong's eyes. His yellow eyes did not move around, but looked straight at me.
"What did you find?" I asked in a low voice, trying to stay calm.
Previously, Lao Gong smiled at Zhang Gui and Zhao Xi. Now Zhang Gui's head has been hollowed out. Zhao Xi seems to be fine, but in fact he must have been seriously injured.
Now he looks at me and smiles again... Are you afraid that something unexpected will happen to me too?
As a result, Lao Gong remained motionless, as if he was stunned and silent.
"Why didn't he speak?" Zhao Xi suddenly asked again.
My heart sank even more, and I explained truthfully: "The last time I entered Qijia Village, Old Gong's soul was affected and he became more and more sluggish. He often answered questions incorrectly."
Zhao Xi suddenly understood. He shook his head and said, "This is not a good sign. The ghost has become slow, and his consciousness is about to collapse. If there is no way to make up for it, I am afraid that this old Gong will become a wandering ghost without consciousness."
I didn't answer Zhao Xi anymore, and my heart became heavier and heavier.
It's extremely uncomfortable to know that something will happen to you, but not know where it will come from.
"Don't worry, Brother Luo, Luo Hu and I will protect you." Zhao Xi said again in a friendly manner.
Luo Hu glanced at Zhao Xi again.
Zhao Xi smiled and said, "Luo Hu, are you right?"
"Yes." Luo Hucai replied in a low voice.
I glanced at the chicken carcass in the corner again, and reluctantly put away my worries.
Let’s explore Qijia Village again. In fact, a series of things happened before we even started.
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Find Zhao Kang as soon as possible." Luo Hu Weng said again.
Indeed, Zhao Kang must be found as soon as possible before he can leave the deep village of Qijia Village.
I thought about the direction in which Zhao Kang wrapped up Zhao Pin and left after the old woman cried and the Skinless Ghost was dispersed.
With a slight chill in his heart, he said: "The direction that Zhao Kang left at that time happened to be the direction where the starving ghost was led away earlier."
Zhao Xi's face froze slightly, as if he was thinking.
Luo Hu said in a loud voice: "The starving ghosts who eat real things are extremely special. They should have eaten their own corpses and become deformed corpse ghosts. They have some characteristics of corpses and can swallow flesh and blood, but more of them are weird like ghosts." .”
"You were able to lure them away before, which shows that they are not of high sanity."
I nodded secretly in my heart. What Luo Hu said was similar to what Chu Ying told me at that time.
"As long as they treat us as ghosts, nothing will happen to them. It's hard to hide the human flavor. Zhao Xi's ghost can indeed cover up this aura." Luo Hu said again.
Zhao Xi settled his thoughts and then said: "I will protect Brother Luo with my ghost shadow. Luo Hu, you should be fine. If you encounter a starving ghost, as long as there is no conflict, you should be able to escape. There are so many people in Qijia Village Ghosts, the main appetite of starving ghosts should not be eating ghosts."
"They also wanted to eat corpses, so I stayed in the deserted fields and did not enter Qijia Village."
Zhao Xi's explanation is reasonable.
Luo Hu nodded, agreeing with this statement.
"Without further ado, Brother Luo, please lead the way." Zhao Xi looked at me.
There were more ghostly shadows under his feet, completely covering the shadow under me!
I raised my index finger, squeezed my wound, closed my right eye, and pressed my finger on my eye.
I'm not guaranteeing it will work, just giving it a try.
In the dream, the old man in a suit lost his right eye. He dug it out himself when I sensed it for the second time.
I also lost a ray of my soul at that time.
I'm afraid, I lost my soul because he gouged out my eyes!
The coldness in my right eye that I feel from time to time must be related to this matter!
A cold feeling came from my eyes. When I opened my right eye again, everything I saw changed hazily.
Wisps of gray air lingered in the house.
The Buddhist amulets hanging around Luo Hu's neck turned into different parts of his body.
Some are hands, some are feet, and some are body torsos, which are extremely terrifying.
Zhao Xi is even more weird.
He looked like a ghost, his belly was bigger, as if something was trying to come out.
And there was some kind of shadow under his feet. There were clearly ghost babies lying one after another.
The ghost babies were silent and just clustered around our feet. There were quite a few ghost babies who raised their heads and looked at me with a smile on their wrinkled faces.
These ghost babies also know that something is going to happen to me?
Or is it the guidance formed by old Gong Xian's ghostly smile?
Ghost laughter is not exclusive to fortune ghosts. Any ghost will gloat when he senses something is going to happen to someone. Just like at that time, I didn't know that Han Chu was a living corpse, and the ghosts in the safe area smiled at me.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.
Luo Hu and Zhao Xi both looked at me at the same time.
I don’t know why, but I seemed to see Zhao Xi smiling too.
When I looked at Zhao Xi again, there was no smile on his face. He just frowned slightly. He looked at me and asked cautiously: "Brother Luo, what's wrong with you? Your eyes... are so weird..."
He stared particularly at my right eye, which was twinkling.
Luo Hu didn't show any movement, he just seemed to be waiting for me.
"It's okay." I replied hoarsely, opened the door and left the main room.
The ghost babies crawling forward in a crowd under their feet, sometimes as dark shadows, sometimes as squirming babies. This scene is weird and eerie.
Zhao Xi followed me, almost like a ghost following me.
Luo Hu walked on the other side, as if avoiding the ghostly shadow at our feet.
His body is also a little weird, his neck seems to have become longer, but if you look closely, it seems to have remained the same.
I felt a slight chill in my heart, and I had an instinctive guess that Zhao Xi seemed to have some problem and wanted to plot against me.
I didn't feel this way before, so I touched my right eye with blood from my index finger to see if I could feel it.
After all, my right eye had an inexplicable connection with the old man in a suit.
The perception was unsuccessful, but my right eye strangely saw something abnormal.
My thinking seems to have become more divergent and sharp.
However, I can't tell what Zhao Xi can plot against me now, so I can only remain extremely vigilant.
Soon I left the yard and walked forward along the path.
The fields on the left were still barren, and on the right, another courtyard soon appeared.
The yard was extremely clean, and it was clear that a ghost lived there.
A ghost baby squirmed out of the shadow under Zhao Xi's feet, crawled to his chest, fed on his blood, and quickly got into the yard.
After a minute or two, the ghost baby came out and climbed on top of Zhao Xi's head.
"There is a fierce ghost in the house, but he didn't want to provoke us." Zhao Xi said quietly: "It should be that the starving ghost just walked over, and they didn't dare to make much noise."
Without pausing, the three of us continued walking forward.
The yard gradually became sparse, and we also passed a bamboo forest and a messy fruit forest.
In the end, I didn't see any more courtyards, but walked to the foot of the hill.
The Qijia Village itself was built on the foot of a mountain that looks like a seal.
The terrain at the foot of the mountain is slightly flat, and there is a clear stream flowing.
There is an isolated grave next to the foot of the mountain, surrounded by miscanthus, goosegrass, white-flowered thorngrass and other grave grasses.
