Volume 1 Chapter 19 I'm Not Bait
The so-called white bone nails are actually nails made from human bones. They are used with special spells to seal the acupoints of the corpse. It is said that they will prevent the deceased from being reincarnated forever. They are extremely vicious and should not be done lightly.
Moreover, the most effective human bones used to refine the bone nails are those of living people. Uncle San said: "The nine bone nails used to seal the corpse back then were the nine finger bones of Liu Wenxuan!"
I was stunned. This is crazy! This Liu guy actually cut off nine of his fingers just to nail his wife to ashes? Are all the Liu family crazy? No wonder I ran into that guy in the front yard before. He had only one finger left.
Uncle San sneered, "The death of that woman back then was not simple!" He paused continued, "This ghost girl surnamed Liu probably inherited some special abilities from her mother. But this little monster looks even more evil than her mother. Maybe they could have lived in peace, but now she's been killed and her corpse has risen. Hey, who can stop her?"
I was shocked when I heard this, so I said, "This matter has nothing to do with us anyway, so shouldn't we just run away?"
Uncle San shook his head, "Where can we escape to? Ever since that kid surnamed Liu sent the coffin to our house, we have been dragged into this and there is no way to escape. I don't know what that devil girl looks like, her personality is very twisted, if she continues like this, she will definitely kill us all! Fuck her grandma!"
"Well, her grandmother is really a piece of shit. Uncle San, I support you!" I agree wholeheartedly.
Uncle San looked at me and slapped me on the head: "What nonsense!"
I said, "What should I do? I can't die with these people, right?" As for the Liu family, I only like Sister Ning, and I don't have any good feelings towards anyone else.
Uncle San glanced at everyone in the hall and said only one sentence: "Act according to circumstances."
After a few more words, Uncle San was greeted by the dead face, and I had to come back in a depressed mood. Liu Zining asked me what I had learned from Uncle San, and I leaned close to her ear and whispered the story, asking her not to make it public for the time being, so as not to cause greater panic.
Liu Zining's round face turned pale with nervousness. She seemed to have something to say, but hesitated. I remembered the strange words she said in her nightmares at night, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Ning, do you know anything about what happened back then?"
Liu Zining's eyes showed a trace of panic. He bit his lip and was about to say something to me when I heard Liu's father shouting from the other end of the crowd, asking everyone to be quiet, as Mr. Zhong had something to say.
Being interrupted, Liu Zining swallowed his words again and turned his gaze towards Dead Face and Third Uncle along with everyone else.
"This is not a solution." The dead face's voice was raised in the hall, "I discussed it with Master Feng San and came up with an idea. Since the thing outside won't come in, let's send someone out to bring her in. Master Feng San and I can't go, who is willing to volunteer?"
When I heard this, I thought this dead-faced guy had come up with some good idea. It turned out that he was going to throw out bait to lure the other party into the trap! Who the hell dares to go there? Not to mention whether he can catch that ghost girl, the bait thrown out will definitely kill him.
There were dozens of people in the hall, men, women, young and old, all of them fell silent, lowering their heads. No one dared to say a word. Everyone understood this principle very well, and no one would be stupid enough to go out and be a sacrifice. I watched coldly to see which unlucky person would be thrown out.
The dead face looked around and saw no one responded, so he said to Uncle San: "Master Feng, I have a perfect candidate, what do you think?"
Uncle San said "Oh" and asked with interest, "Who is it?"
The dead face slowly turned around and cast his eyes on me: "Your Lu Jing is good, bold and careful, brave and resourceful. I think there is no one else suitable here except him."
When I heard this, I really wanted to go up and beat him up. This old man has such a dark conscience!
Uncle San smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. Our Xiao Jing is really good." At this point, he changed the subject and said, "It's just that he has to be half the head of the family, so I can't make the decision for him. You have to ask him about this matter. If he is willing to go, I have no problem. If he doesn't want to go..." He spread his hands and said, "I can't do anything about it."
He is indeed my third uncle, and it is so helpful to hear these words!
I simply shook my head and said, "No!" I looked at the dead man's face coldly, thinking that now that we have come to this point, let's see what else you have to say. With all the Liu family's mess, you still want me to work for you, no way!
The dead man stood there with a grim face, and the look he gave me was extremely cold.
I won't be scared by him.
"But..." I changed the subject and said, "I do have a particularly good candidate. I guarantee that I can bring the girl from the Liu family in."
"Oh?" Dead Man's Face said expressionlessly, "Tell me about it."
I stood up and pointed at the old lady from the Liu family: "You are the most suitable one. As long as you go out and beat the cane, jump up and down and scold her, I guarantee that your granddaughter will follow you immediately!"
The old woman was drinking a bowl of sugar water. When she heard what I said, her eyes widened and she was about to explode, but the dead-faced man stopped her and said, "It's not appropriate for you, old lady. Those who go out must have a stable mind and a firm will, otherwise you will get the Tao as soon as you meet that thing."
I was too lazy to pay attention to him. If you say it's not suitable, then it's not suitable. It has nothing to do with me. I covered my mouth and yawned, and said to Liu Zining next to me: "Sister Ning, are you sleepy? I am a little sleepy."
Liu Zining was also very nervous just now, fearing that I would really be thrown out by that dead face, and cursed in a low voice: "Bah, what kind of person is it to let a child take risks!" Seeing that I was sleepy, she pointed at her legs and said: "If you want to be sleepy, lean on me and sleep for a while."
She came out in a hurry, and she was still wearing the pink shorts she wore when she slept, revealing her straight white thighs. Although she treated me like a kid and didn't mind me sleeping on her thighs for a while, I felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'd better sit down and take a nap."
I was just talking to my sister Ning in private. The dead face had hit a big nail, and probably felt embarrassed, so he changed the topic: "In this case, I have another candidate who can also make do."
Father Liu wiped his sweat and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Zhong is talking about..."
The dead-faced gaze swept over everyone in the hall and finally fell on me: "This girl is good. She has a pure heart and is courageous enough. She can do the job." He raised his finger and pointed, actually setting his sights on Liu Zining.
I'm done for! This old man is so damn mean! My sister Ning is such a good girl, but he can still do such a dirty thing to her!
Liu Zining saw the dead face pointing at her, and his face turned pale. Liu's father beside him also hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhong, my daughter...my daughter...is not suitable?" Liu Zining's brother Liu Zian also looked anxious.
"Shut up! It's already this late. The Liu family is going to be in big trouble, don't you know?" A sharp, piercing voice came from the crowd. It turned out to be the old woman of the Liu family. She slammed her cane and scolded Liu's father with a dark face. Then her face softened and she smiled and waved at Liu Zining, "My dear granddaughter, come to grandma."
I grabbed Liu Zining's hand and told her not to go. Liu Zining's face turned pale and she bit her lips, not knowing what to do.
"Dear granddaughter, why don't you come here!" The old woman suddenly raised her voice, and stared at her with her small eyes like a vulture.
Liu Zining shuddered with fear and walked over with a pale face.
The old woman patted her granddaughter's shoulder with a smile on her face, praised her, "You are really my good granddaughter," and sighed, "Xiao Ning, grandma has taught you since you were young that we should be grateful and repay kindness. Our Liu family has raised you to this age, and now a disaster is imminent. What should you do?"
Liu Zining bit her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.
I was so angry that I couldn't help but curse, "Old woman, if you have the guts, get out of here. Why are you harming your granddaughter?"
The old woman glared at me, as vicious as a wolf, and screamed at me: "Where did you come from, wild child? You have no right to speak here!"
Before I could fight back, my uncle couldn't help himself and sneered, "Oh, Mrs. Liu is so arrogant! What our Lu Jing said represents what I, Feng San, said. What are you dissatisfied with?"
He is indeed my third uncle, I give him a thousand thumbs up!
Seeing that my third uncle was angry, the dead man's face also sank, frowned and said: "Mrs. Liu, please stop talking."
The old woman was obviously very afraid of the dead face. When she heard him speak, she stammered and shut up.
"But this girl is still the most suitable person, she must go." Dead Face said expressionlessly, motioning Liu Zining to get ready and set off soon.
"Wait, I'll go!" A man ran out from the crowd. He had a handsome face and a sickly look. It turned out to be Liu Zining's brother Liu Zian. "I'll go in place of my sister!"
I couldn't help but be surprised. I didn't expect that this guy, who looked so timid and cowardly, dared to stand up for his sister in a critical moment. This greatly changed my impression of this man.
"You are not allowed to go!" The old woman of the Liu family screamed and pointed at Liu Zian and cursed, "You unfilial thing! The Liu family is counting on you to carry on the family line, don't you know that? Get out of here!"
Liu Zian lowered his head but refused to retreat.
The dead face looked at Liu Zian for a few times, seemed quite surprised, and said: "You can't do it. You can't compare with your sister's pure mind, and you don't have enough courage. I'm afraid you will be killed as soon as you go out. You don't have any chance at all."
I have to admit that Dead Face was not talking nonsense. Among all the people in the Liu family, only Liu Zining was pure-minded and courageous. As for being the bait, rationally speaking, among all the people in the Liu family, Liu Zining was indeed the most suitable.
But she is my sister Ning, so we can’t talk to her rationally!
