Chapter 18: Each with His Own Thoughts
While helping me with acupuncture to release the poison, the old blind man sneered and said, "Xiaoyu, you can follow my lead in this matter. You should not be polite to women like you who have bad intentions. Xiaoyu, after you stripped her clothes off, did you do anything else?" The last sentence was directed to me.
I couldn't say anything anyway, and thought to myself, you old blind man, what do you mean I'll do whatever you want? If I did, I would definitely not risk my life to take drugs with Lin Yuxi.
Lei Xueting was so angry that she was fuming. She pointed at the two black handprints on Lin Yuxi's bra and cursed: "Do I even need to ask this? The little hooligan must have done something evil to her. Look, there is evidence. When we get out, we will call the police and sue you old and young hooligans for raping us!"
But Lin Yuxi said hesitantly: "Aunt Ting, that was not his touch, it was the black mark left by the zombie's claws."
"Impossible, how could a zombie act like a hooligan?" Lei Xueting scolded her with her eyes wide open.
The old blind man snorted and said, "Your little girl said it was a zombie, do you still want to blame others?"
Lei Xueting was speechless, but refused to admit defeat and argued, "I suspected that Xiao Xi was in love with the little gangster, so I helped him to absolve himself of the crime."
"Auntie Ting..." Lin Yuxi called out with a red face.
The old blind man suddenly laughed: "Yes, just like you and me, we have been in love for more than ten years. Every time you come, you bring me a lot of delicious food, haha!"
"Bastard!" Lei Xueting was almost angry to death. She cursed and was about to step forward to attack, but was stopped by Lin Yuxi.
The old blind man continued to insert needles with a smug look, without even looking up at her, and didn't take her seriously at all. After Lei Xueting was stopped by Lin Yuxi, she took the opportunity to step down, not daring to really rush over and fight . It seemed that if she fought with the old blind man in our house, she would not gain any advantage, and she might be touched by the old blind man again.
Although this old lady is not young, she is well maintained, with tender and white skin and almost no wrinkles on her forehead. When she stands with Lin Yuxi, people would mistake them for sisters at first glance . If it weren't for the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, it would be hard to find the vicissitudes of life on her face.
"Aunt Ting, how did you find this place? Didn't you encounter any zombies or poisonous snakes when you came in?" Lin Yuxi hurriedly changed the subject, otherwise the old women would make a fuss and anger the old blind man, and the two would start fighting again. I haven't finished poisoning you yet.
Lei Xueting glared at the old blind man angrily and told Lin Yuxi that after I was captured, she fought with the old blind man for a long time and had the upper hand, but the old blind man cheated and retreated to the kitchen and suddenly sprinkled flour on her, blinding her and knocking her to the ground. At this point, her tone was ashamed and angry, and it was obvious that she was really held down by the old blind man to touch her bones and take advantage of her.
Later, the old blind man took her to the riverside, but we were nowhere to be seen. They were all terrified, and regardless of the grudge between the two of them, the old blind man untied the rope on her body, and went down to the river to find the ancient tomb. They ran into the tomb and saw Xiaoqing's incorrupt body being pulled in front of , and the coffin lid was open, and the body inside was gone. So they guessed that Lin Yuxi and I were being chased by zombies, and hurriedly followed our trail to the zombie guard cave, and saw these zongzi jumping around the stone tower, and the poisonous snakes on the top of the cave lingering, and they immediately understood what was going on.
The old blind man knew how to drive away poisonous snakes, and Lei Xueting was proficient in corpse-driving techniques. The two of them worked together, one drove away the zombies, and the other burned realgar with fire to drive away the black-browed viper. Then I climbed up to the top of the stone tower and saw that under the half-carved spell, there was an extra half of the spell written in blood. The two of us discussed it, and the old blind man bit his finger and copied the spell I wrote, and rewrote it along the strokes of the spell, and the stone slab on the top of the tower opened.
Just came in and found that I risked my life to help Lin Yuxi take the drug, and I was already deeply poisoned and fainted. Seeing that my life was in danger and Lin Yuxi's condition was not optimistic, the two of them quickly took us to the bottom. Lei Xueting asked the old blind man for the antidote for the venomous snake and fed it to Lin Yuxi, and the old blind man helped me to acupuncture to drain the poisonous blood. Lin Yuxi was worried about my condition and had been watching the old blind man acupuncture me, and only now did he have time to ask about this matter.
After Lei Xueting finished speaking, my poisonous blood was also exhausted. The old blind man wiped the sweat from his head, put away a few silver needles and put them in his bag. He turned around and looked around with his one squinted eye, frowned and said: "This looks like a grave mound, it's so big, but there's only a coffin inside, isn't it a waste?" After saying this, he turned back and asked me: "How did you and Xiaoxi fall into the river and find this grave?"
I was stunned. Logically, he found the half blood rune I left on the top of the tower, so he should know that I had read the Ghost Talisman Sutra, so why didn't he ask about this first? When I saw Lei Xueting, I suddenly understood that this old woman asked Xiao Xi to take me away, probably for the Ghost Talisman Sutra. Of course, the old blind man didn't want to ask about this in front of her, but he would definitely not let me go when he got home.
Lei Xueting was quite cunning. After looking at the old blind man, she said to Lin Yuxi before I could speak: "Xiao Xi, you tell me. Anyway, you have been together all the time, and you know everything he knows. Tell him everything in detail. Don't hide anything, including how you escaped when you encountered the ghost, and who drew the talisman to open the entrance to the stone tower. Don't miss a word."
The old blind man rolled up his eyes and looked at her fiercely. He seemed to really not want to reveal the answer to the Ghost Talisman Sutra at this time. However, judging from the fact that he could only watch but not move, it was not certain that Lei Xueting could be beaten. If she had not relied on such a despicable trick as spreading white flour at home, she would probably not be able to defeat the other party.
Before Lin Yuxi spoke, she looked at me. I closed my eyes and thought, "Whatever you say, the fact that I have read the Ghost Talisman Scripture has been exposed. It is not that easy to deceive an old blind man and an old woman."
She then started talking. This girl was quite cunning. She didn't question Lei Xueting in person why she didn't send someone to meet me at the riverside. She just said that she took me to the riverside to wait, and then she encountered the hair ghost and was dragged into the river. Fortunately, she had a yellow talisman on her body, and she accidentally drove the hair ghost away, and then she accidentally entered the entrance of this ancient tomb and came in confused. Then she was stopped by Xiaoqing, the hair ghost, at the tomb passage. She still had the yellow talisman in her hand, so she threw it out and scared it away again.
Then, relying on my knowledge of the ancient tomb, I pushed open the tomb door and entered the corridor. I first encountered a black-browed viper. At this time, I cleverly used a lighter to light a fire to drive away the snakes and ran in. I didn't mention the trap we fell into. I just said that we rushed into the tomb in one breath and found two paper figures dragging the corpse of a hair ghost chasing us, which caused a zombie in the coffin to resurrect. We were so scared that we returned the same way and found the entrance to this place from an ear chamber. I also missed the incident of losing the small mirror, which was obviously intentional. She didn't mention a word about my knowledge of magic along the way.
But when it came to drawing the talisman on the top of the tower, she was a little worried. She hesitated for a long time and finally made up a lie: "I was inspired by the pattern of poisonous snakes lining up on the top of the cave. I asked Xiaoyu to bite her finger and draw according to their shapes. It actually opened the mechanism. Aunt Ting, do you think I am smart?"
