Chapter 30 Leaving
After calling out a few times but hearing no response from Xiaoqing, the devil, I called out Uncle Chen twice, and told him that even if Xiaoxi was killed, he should leave her body for me so that she could rest in peace. We are all orphans, and that is pitiful enough. We cannot be left to lie in the wilderness after death. I beg you to be kind and spare her life if you didn't kill her, and return her body to me if you have already killed her.
The kitchen door suddenly opened, and Lin Yuxi cursed angrily: "You little rascal, you are so cruel. Are you really looking forward to my death? Either I will be caught by Xiaoqing or killed by Mr. Chen. What do you want?"
I turned around and saw her standing at the kitchen door, hands on her hips, glaring at me angrily. My heart suddenly fell to the ground!
"Thank God, you're okay." I said, patting my chest.
Lin Yuxi was pretending to be angry. Seeing my still frightened expression, she chuckled, "I was just kidding. Thank you for caring about me so much."
It turned out that I had just gone to Uncle Chen's house, and she happened to wake up and feel hungry. Although there was sesame paste on the bedside, she didn't like to eat this kind of food. She just ran into the kitchen, and I came back before she could turn on the light. She didn't know who climbed over the wall, so she hid in the darkness of the kitchen and didn't dare to make a sound. Later, when she heard that it was me, her childishness suddenly came back, and I was worried enough, so I spoke.
Her face had basically regained its color, and except for a little weakness, she was fine. I was very happy, thinking that the poison in her body would be completely gone in three days at most. I asked her to go back to her room and continue lying down, and I cooked some porridge in the kitchen and brought it in to eat together.
This girl was wearing my old clothes, but that couldn't hide her good figure and natural beauty, she was a beautiful girl from the mountain village. Sitting with her for dinner, I felt very warm. During the meal, I asked her about her life experience, and this girl told me that she was picked up by Aunt Ting from the roadside when she was young, but her experience was much better than mine. Although Lei Xueting had a bad temper and often beat and scolded her when she was young, she was very privileged in life.
It can be seen from her iPhone 5. She said that when it was first launched, it cost more than 5,000 yuan, and Lei Xueting bought her one without hesitation. However, after she finished high school, Lei Xueting did not let her go to school. She taught her some basic exorcism spells and some Sanda training every day. She said that she had hoped to go to college, but Aunt Ting said that this was enough. She still feels it is a pity and is very depressed.
I knew Lei Xueting's real intentions clearly. After high school, I had enough knowledge to collect and analyze the information of this ancient tomb. Training her in Sanda was to catch me. This plan seemed to have been made many years ago. Although they made mistakes in their calculations, they did not expect the old Zongzi to wake up, and the stone tower would be closed and almost become their tomb. But in the end, they relied on their luck to successfully get the treasure and escape .
However, they did not expect that the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind, and in the end, they made wedding clothes for others. The treasure they got was taken away by Chen Dahong, who had been patient and dormant for many years. He also lost his life for it, and I am afraid that he is crying bitterly in the underworld now.
After Lin Yuxi finished talking about her past, she talked about this incident again. She really saw Lei Xueting's sinister face and would not trust anyone in the future. What about me? I'm so good to you, you won't believe it, right? Lin Yuxi bit her lip, with a complicated and strange look on her face. After a long time, she smiled and said nothing.
I asked her what her future plans were. I actually wanted to leave this mountain village with her and work hard in the outside world. But she just smiled and said nothing, looking a little mysterious. My heart immediately sank, but then I realized that a "little hooligan" like me was not worthy of a proud peacock like her.
She said it was getting late, let's go to bed, lie down on the bed, close your eyes and stop talking. When I lay on the mat, she suddenly opened her eyes and asked curiously, "There is something I can't figure out. In the tomb, the paper man dragged the female corpse in, and you dragged me and ran away decisively. You seemed confident at that time. How did you predict that the female corpse would not attack us?"
If she hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. I smiled and said to her, "Although Xiaoqing's body has not decayed for many years, it has been tied to the chair and not moved. I don't think it has turned into a zombie. Instead, it is playing tricks and letting the paper figurines pull the body into the tomb to deliberately stimulate the zongzi in the coffin to revive. But it was hit by the yellow talisman last night and was seriously injured. It was not easy for it to support itself and get the body into the tomb. It definitely doesn't have the strength to attack us, so we still have a chance to escape before the old zongzi in red robe gets out of the coffin."
Lin Yuxi nodded as if she suddenly understood something, and praised me, "You are quite smart." Then she fell asleep.
I slept very soundly that night, because I had been tossing and turning all night yesterday, and my body was still weak, and I had to stay awake all day. Several reasons combined made me sleep like a dead pig, and I didn't wake up until noon. After waking up, I found that Lin Yuxi was gone. This time I didn't panic, because if Uncle Chen or Xiaoqing came, they would not only attack Lin Yuxi, but also me.
I was still thinking that the girl had gone to the kitchen to cook. I got up from the ground and suddenly saw a note on the bed. My heart moved and I hurriedly picked it up to read it. There was a line of beautiful small words written on it: "Little hooligan, thank you for saving me and protecting me. I'm leaving. We'll meet again if we're lucky enough!"
I was stunned for a moment, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, feeling lost. Did she just leave like that? Why didn't she say hello to me in person? Was she afraid of disturbing my sleep? No, I think she left without saying goodbye on purpose, as if she didn't dare to face me directly. Maybe she was afraid that I would pester her?
If you really think so, then you are wrong. I am neither a gangster nor a scoundrel. If it is not mine, I will never force it. I thought and smiled bitterly, but my heart was heavy and I felt indescribable. After a long while, I sighed and thought to myself, just treat these two days as a dream.
But this dream is so damn real!
At night, I tied up the bodies of the old blind man and Lei Xueting with ropes, and after midnight, I pushed them to the river with a cart. These two bodies must be disposed of, otherwise if they are discovered, I will not be able to clear myself of the suspicion of murder. But it is not appropriate to sink them to the bottom of the river. I want to send them to the ancient tomb so that no one will ever find them.
When I came here, I drew a few talismans myself. I had yellow paper at home. The old blind man had to worship the gods frequently when he was fortune-telling, so he would not be short of this stuff . I also had a brush, but no cinnabar, so I bit my finger and drew with blood.
I dragged the two bodies down to the bottom of the river and entered the ancient tomb. As expected, I met Xiaoqing in the tomb passage. Its injuries had not fully recovered, otherwise it would have come to trouble me long ago if it was not far from our home. When I saw it, I chanted a spell and burned a talisman to send it on a journey to outer space.
The ghost woman knelt down and begged bitterly, telling me that it was not her fault, that the old blind man and Lei Xueting had come after her, and that they were the ones who did all the wrong things. I believed it, but she had to be killed. I don't know how many innocent people were killed by those heads under the ghost's hair. It was too late to beg for mercy now.
After breaking up its spirit, I suddenly felt a little regretful. There were still many questions in this tomb that I hadn't figured out, especially why it was tied in the front hall of the tomb and its body had not decayed for many years? But the ghost woman's soul had already been dispersed, so why was there any need to ask questions? So I threw the old blind man and Lei Xueting's bodies in the tomb passage and turned back.
After returning home, he packed his things simply. There was no need to take those tattered clothes with him. He only took 60,000 yuan, the mysterious letter, the Ghost Talisman Scripture and its sister volume and left Longjia Village, where he had lived for more than 20 years.
