"Qiong Yi, does your head still hurt?"
Zhu Yunluo's soft and childish voice sounded in her ears. Qiong Yi felt that the wet towel on her forehead was taken away, and then a cool little hand touched her forehead. Then there was a little sound of water, and the towel changed again. It got wet and cool, and returned to the head.
Zhu Yunluo held her hand and felt someone accompanying her, and Qiong Yi's frown relaxed.
"Hey. This child has been having a fever a few nights ago and is still talking nonsense. What should I do?"
"Old Chen, please call a doctor."
"The doctor has been invited and medicine has been prescribed, but the fever cannot go down..."
"It can't be that fast. Let's take a rest. Let Xiao Qiongyi lie down alone. Ah Luo, come out quickly and let your sister sleep for a while."
"Qiong also said that she is scared, so I will stay with her. Grandpa, I will stay with her."
"Stop disturbing her and come out."
"Okay. Qiong Yi, you should sleep for a while. When you get better tomorrow, we will go pick peas again. I will wait for you. I won't go alone first. You can sleep well."
The people in the room walked out one by one, and the door slowly closed, and the light that came in diagonally was swallowed up inch by inch.
It was just her and it.
No……
don't want……
Don't leave me...alone...
Six-year-old Qiong was also lying on the big wooden bed. She was sobbing, but she couldn't make a sound, and her body couldn't move. Her head was dizzy, and the scene in front of her was intertwined with reality and reality, and was constantly changing.
A Luo...Uncle...
I am afraid……
On the beam she saw through her tears, there was a gray-white shadow with disheveled hair, sometimes laughing and sometimes shaking. The figure was about the same size as her, with only half of his head on his neck. His gray clothes were full of patches and faintly bleeding: "Hehehe, are you awake? Play with me..."
Qiong Yi couldn't remember when she encountered it. Maybe it was the day before yesterday, or maybe it was yesterday. She had a severe headache, and fear surrounded her, stimulating her to a state of insanity and trance.
He walked sneakily on the beam and jumped down again. Seeing that Qiong also didn't react like crying and fussing a few days ago, he became a little angry. He jumped on the bed and strangled her neck, listening to her almost suffocating cough. Then he let go and laughed heartily. Qiong also curled up and didn't move. It started kicking and biting angrily. Hearing her cry for help, it danced happily.
Qiong Yi huddled in the corner, her hands and feet getting colder and colder. She pulled her hands furtively, her nails digging deeply into her flesh. She said, "Play with me..."
She was dragged out of bed by it, hung up on the beam, pushed her down again, and caught her when she was about to fall to the ground. Qiong was so burned that she was delirious. After several attempts, it was the kid who made a mistake. Let her fall heavily to the ground, making no sound. The sneaky one was furious, thinking that she was pretending to be asleep and not wanting to play, and wanted to wake her up, but Qiong also remained motionless, like a doll at the mercy of others.
"Wake up, wake up quickly..."
The kid went to roll her eyelids, only to see that she had really fainted. He raised his black palm and placed it on her forehead. In an instant, Qiong Yi shuddered and woke up as if falling into a deep valley. What caught his eyes was a picture of Minato. The extremely tight grimace was laughing at itself. The remaining half of its face was pale, and the sunken and incomplete part of the other half was dark red and cracked. The necrotic eyeballs were still spinning, and the grinning mouth was broken. The half-cut tongue is wagging left and right.
She screamed and shrank back, tears rolling down her eyes. She wanted to speak but was blocked by Sneaky with his fist: "You hide, I'll come find you..."
It grabbed Qiong Yi's arm hard and said with a smile: "If it is found, it will be eaten..."
Qiong Yi's eyes were dull and she was scared out of her mind by it. When the kid saw her not moving, he bared his teeth and made a strange noise. She shivered violently again and sobbed, looking for a corner to cover her body.
"Hide well, hide well..."
Sneaky sang in its extremely unpleasant voice, "I'm here to find you..."
Qiong Yi shivered in the corner of the wooden cabinet. The whole room was dark and large, but the wooden cabinet was narrow and small. There was a dusty old wood smell inside, and there were small webs woven by spiders in the corners of the cabinet. Perhaps there were ants crawling across and mice crawling through, causing rustling sounds. Qiong Yi's little body was trembling all the time, and she heard the sneaky singing of songs getting closer and closer.
"Boom!—Boom!—"
The wooden cabinet door vibrated.
"Are you in there..." The little ghost's thin voice was very harsh. It seemed that only Qiong Yi could hear it. The sound of knocking on the door was drowned out. She became more and more panicked and frightened in her heart. In an instant, the cabinet door clicked open, and he stretched his neck furtively and put his head in front of her:
"Got you……"
"ah!--"
Qiong Yi was woken up by a nightmare and was covered in cold sweat. The surroundings were dark. She closed her eyes tightly and sobbed softly. Zhu Yunluo was awakened by her scream and asked, "What's wrong? Qiong Yi."
"Aluo, there's... there's a ghost..." Qiong Yi cried to her, but when he looked closely, the person standing behind Zhu Yunluo was none other than the little ghost with half his head missing! Qiong Yi screamed again and again, and saw Zhu Yunluo's face gradually melting like ice meeting fire, her eyes and nose fell down one by one, and her mouth fell next to the pillow, but she was still talking, no, not talking, but singing. Singing ghost songs.
It's the song it just sang.
Qiong Yi was so frightened that her hands and feet no longer felt like her own. She got out of bed like crazy and pushed the door open and ran out. There was a door outside, and she pushed the door open again, but there were still doors outside. There were layers upon layers of them. She didn’t know where she was. at. Qiong Yi stood in a daze, surrounded by sneaky laughter: "Hehehehehehehehe——"
"hahahahahahahaha----"
She didn't dare to open her eyes again, covered her face and backed away. She bumped into something. When she raised her eyes, she saw Uncle Chen. Tears were dripping down like a stream. She reached out to hug him. Uncle Chen said with a smile. She looked at herself but didn't speak. When she looked carefully, the flesh on Uncle Chen's body melted away bit by bit, turning into blood and dripping down. Finally, he became a skeleton standing on the spot, but his empty eyes were still there. Look at yourself.
Qiong Yi shook his head violently, his hands trembled, his breathing became more and more difficult, and he fell to the ground with a "plop".
She didn't know how long she lay there. When she woke up again, she could no longer hear the furtive laughter, but the call of a boy.
Standing up unsteadily, she followed the sound and walked forward step by step in the darkness. Qiong also saw a little boy sitting on the ground with his knees in his arms and his head buried. She was a little scared, fearing that he would look up and look up again. It was a ghost appearance, but when he raised his head, she saw that it was not.
She asked him: Who are you?
He didn't answer and seemed a little confused.
Qiong Yi lowered his head: ...It's so dark here, I'm so scared.
He stood up and stretched out his hand to her: Two people are better.
Qiong didn't recognize him and didn't pass her hand over. He said: I'm not afraid anymore.
He also said: I'm looking for you.
Qiong was also a little confused: Looking for me?
He nodded and called her: Qiong Yi.
Qiong also felt a little strange. She had never seen him before, but he knew her name. When he hesitated, he had already walked to his side and held his hand.
In an instant, the things in front of her began to change. The boy's figure quickly grew taller. Qiong also found that her gaze was getting higher and farther. From a child to a young girl, she suddenly realized that she knew him.
The scene around you is constantly changing:
"Are you so scared? That's just a little devil who is causing trouble. He can scare you like this. Fortunately, you are still a direct disciple of the Lu clan leader."
"Don't blame yourself, everyone is afraid."
"Qiong Yi, don't worry. I'm here, don't be afraid."
"If you can't "not be afraid," then be afraid. I'm always there. "
…
Sheng Xuanyuan looked at him in front of him, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he said, "I'm looking for you."
"Qiong Yi, where are you?"
This question was like a revelation. Qiong Yi shuddered suddenly, sat up, and woke up from the nightmare.
"Are you awake?" Yun Ya sat down on the edge of the bed. Qiong Yi looked at her blankly, and saw four or five ghost dolls of different shapes surrounding the bed. His first reaction was no longer to shrink back, but to lift up his waist. There was a sword on his waist, but there was nothing on his waist, and he couldn't touch anything.
Yun Ya raised her hand to check the temperature of her forehead: "Lu Xi, you finally woke up! After I asked Yuan'er to return the part of the soul that he accidentally ate to you, you started to have a fever. It lasted for six or seven days. I thought you He’s going to die!”
Qiong Yi opened her hand: "It's not all your fault! Wait, you said I was in a coma for seven days?"
"Today is the eighth day!" Yun Ya said dissatisfied.
Qiong Yi's heart sank, and she immediately got up and got out of bed: Is it the eighth day? Have I been unconscious for so long? Sheng Kyung disappeared without any warning...
After standing up straight, she felt dizzy. Yunya skillfully supported her: "What's wrong, so excited all of a sudden?"
"I've taken care of you for such a long time, can't I at least say thank you?" Pressing Qiong Yi on the bed, Yunya took the bowl of medicine from the ghost doll's hand, "Come on, drink it quickly. You are really weak, you can do it easily My soul was eaten and I was almost burned to death. If I hadn’t been a wicked person, you would have become a part of my cultivation."
Qiong Yi didn't say anything, sensing that she was weak, she took the medicine and drank it while looking around. It looked more like a B&B than an inn. She glanced at the bronze mirror on the table. The person in the mirror was not a disguised mask, but her original appearance. She put down the medicine bowl and asked Yunya, "Where is my mask?"
"Here it is." Yun Ya took out the mask from her arms and said with a smile: "I thought you were not good-looking before, but it turned out to be a disguise. You are more lovable than my dolls, you are smaller and more delicate. It’s really interesting, and it’s different from us northerners.”
Qiong Yi's mind was filled with the nightmare that Sheng Xuanyuan was looking for her. She took the mask and took it back to her arms. She suddenly thought of something: Sheng Jing could follow his soul, but... thinking of this, she immediately I rummaged through my arms and sleeves for the jade lily of the valley, and sure enough, it wasn't there.
Ever since her master Lu Bin told her that the soul in the Jade Bell Orchid was connected to Sheng Xuanyuan's life, she no longer wore it on her waist, but hid it close to her body.
"Where are my jade ornaments? Where did you take them!" She yelled at Yun Ya in an extremely fierce tone.
Yunya suddenly realized: "Is it that beautiful little jade bell? Qing'er, spit it out." Following her order, the ghost doll named Qing'er opened its mouth and spit out the jade bell and sent it to her hand.
"This jade ornament is really strange. Whose soul is hidden in it? It is also very capable of suppressing ghosts. If Qing'er hadn't been a demon, he wouldn't have been able to suppress this ghost."
Qiong Yi said angrily: "Give it back to me!"
"You're so strange, why are you so angry? Besides, why do you, a sword cultivator, have such a thing? Why don't you give it to me?" Before Yun Ya could finish speaking, Qiong Yi reached out to grab it, and a beam of zhenqi condensed light hit her. On the wall, he grabbed her collar and shouted: "Say it again, give it back to me!"
There was no panic on Yun Ya's face. She succeeded in the skill, and a deep peach light flashed through her face. Qiong Yi suddenly felt dizzy, her ears ringing, and she staggered about to collapse. Yun Ya chuckled and supported her: "That part of your soul was swallowed by my ghost baby. Even though you have returned to your body, you are still easily manipulated by me for a short period of time. Don't even think about killing me. But you are really vicious. , you don’t repay me for taking care of me at all, hum!”
Qiong Yi shook her head, fighting against the strange feeling in her soul. She knew that force would not work, so she slowed down her tone and said, "Yunya, please give it back to me, okay? It's very important to me."
"Really?" Yun Ya asked, "What kind of magic weapon is this?"
"It's not a magic weapon. It's a jade ornament given to me by my spouse. The soul inside it also belongs to him."
"The soul belongs to him?" Yun Ya asked in shock: "He is dead? Are you a young widow?"
Qiong Yi: "?"
