Volume 3: Summoning Demons Chapter 5: Can't Cross Lianqing
Standing on the abandoned ferry, Lu Bai looked at the boat being pushed away by the white bones and tightened his clothes.
At this moment, he felt as if he had suffered a serious illness. His hands and feet felt cold, and he always wanted to hold a stove to feel a little more comfortable.
But no matter what, we have managed to survive this crisis for the time being.
If you run away from this small boat with human heads on it, there is basically no chance of survival.
The moment you encounter the fog, the chill is implanted in your mind.
You are only seeking your own death by escaping from the fog.
Unless he could find a way to break the chill that had penetrated his brain, his only chance of survival would be to board the boat.
"Lijia Village, Lidu?" Lu Bai wrote down the name.
Although the chill in my mind has subsided, it is probably only temporary.
If he did not follow the other party's instructions to look for Li Du, he would probably feel the chill in his mind rapidly increasing.
"It was a weird trick. I fell into the trap without knowing it." Lu Bai walked from the ferry to the nearby village.
Later, we discovered that the village had also been deserted.
The house was a run-down building, and all kinds of things that were difficult to take away were thrown aside at random.
It was the coldest time of the year and snow was falling. Although it was not night, it was still scary to walk alone in this remote village.
Especially the cold wind, like a annoying little goblin, constantly trying to get into your clothes, bringing a bit of bone-chilling pain.
Lu Bai looked around. The village had been abandoned for a long time and the vegetable fields were full of withered weeds.
Beneath the white snow, there is nothing but mud and filth.
Afterwards, Lu Bai pulled out a flag from the snow at the entrance of the village. The words on the flag had faded, but it was still recognizable: it was the word "Li".
If nothing unexpected happens, this village is actually Lijia Village.
No one knows what happened in the village back then, which led to the appearance of the small boat with human heads on it. The mastermind must be Li Du.
Then the human head boat came back for revenge, but the revenge failed and instead allowed the people of Lijia Village to escape.
That's why she asked someone to help bring Li Du back.
Lu Bai would actually go find Li Du, even if he was sure he could get rid of the chill in his head later, he would still go find him.
Damn it, it was this grandson who caused such a weird thing, and now he just ran away.
Let Uncle Lu fall into the trap.
When he finds Li Du, he will be in big trouble.
After looking around this shabby village for a while, I couldn't figure out what had happened to this village before.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Lu Bai was not in a hurry to leave.
It is snowing outside now. The village has been abandoned for so long that the road out of the village is already overgrown with weeds. Once covered with snow, it will only become more difficult to leave the village.
Although this village looked desolate and horrible, I had just come down from the biggest weird thing nearby, so why would I care about some abandoned things?
After finding a relatively complete house, Lu Bai walked in and found a portrait on the table.
It was a portrait of a middle-aged or elderly woman, but at this moment, the portrait was nailed to the table by bone nails.
Especially the mouth area, blood actually came out.
It was as if there was not a portrait on the table, but a real person nailed there.
When Lu Bai entered the house, his footsteps paused for a moment, but he did not step back, but actually walked in.
Now he has finally summed up some experience in dealing with these strange things. The more afraid you are, the more you want to escape. If you hide according to the ordinary people's attitude of avoiding danger, the more problems will arise.
Only by facing these anomalies and recognizing them can we find their flaws.
"Besides, since that little boat with a human head sent me to Lijia Village, hoping that I could help her find Li Du, she definitely didn't intend to harm me directly."
"Maybe there are some clues or information in this room."
If you think about it, everything is logical.
This house is relatively conspicuous in the village. After all, the quality of the house is just so-so and it will be damaged by wind and rain.
This one actually appears to be relatively intact.
I didn't think about it carefully before, but now I think there must be something weird going on.
Just at this moment, the table actually moved. The old woman at the table had tears and blood in her eyes. Her mouth, which was nailed shut by bone nails, opened and closed. She wanted to say something, but no words came out. Only blood kept oozing out.
Lu Bai looked at the bone nail and thought about the swaying bones under the human head boat, and he began to understand a little.
He walked forward and pulled out the bone nail.
As soon as it was pulled out, the old woman's portrait started to curse, blood foam flying everywhere: "Did that unfilial bitch who deserved to be thrown into the pig cage send you here?"
"Then you have to tell me, are the person you are talking about the same person who sent me here?" Lu Bai asked with a smile, holding up his iron shirt.
In the portrait of the old woman, there are bone nails on her forehead, ears and collarbone.
"That bitch cheated on her husband and we trapped her in the Qingjiang River with a boat, and she will never be able to be reborn."
"That impure body was eaten by fish in the river."
"I never thought that with only a head that couldn't reach the shore and a pile of bones under the boat, it could still cause so much trouble!"
" I only regret that I didn't seal her head with some pig and dog shit!"
Lu Bai didn't know what to say for a moment.
Damn, this is a psychopath.
This is the devil's land. Lu Bai didn't see a single person along the way. Everything was weird.
In this kind of environment, they actually dare to use all kinds of weird punishments. They are really afraid that they will not die fast enough.
The old woman in the portrait may have had her mouth sealed for a long time, or she may just be a gossipy person.
Once unblocked, they will talk non-stop.
In a short while, Lu Bai also understood what had happened.
The old woman had a son, who was exactly Li Du, Li Chunxiao, whom Lu Bai was looking for.
According to the old woman, her son was filial and talented, but his life was ruined because he married a shameless daughter-in-law.
The daughter-in-law's name was Lian Qing. She used to be a singer in the theater and her background was not very clean.
But at least he was married in a formal ceremony, so the old woman just endured it.
It's not just that the daughter-in-law hasn't laid eggs for three years, but she also has some unclear connections with Li Shan at the village entrance.
The old woman wanted her son to divorce this shameless bitch, but she was afraid that she would commit suicide and ruin the feng shui of her family.
There is a saying in Lijia Village that as long as a person allows the fish in the Qingshui River to eat his body, that person will become innocent and will no longer affect anyone's feng shui.
Generally, if a wife cheats on someone, she will be caught and thrown into a pig cage.
There is also another saying that if someone dies on a boat, the body must be unloaded, otherwise it will never be reincarnated and can only drift on the river with the boat.
The old woman hated Lian Qing so much that she hung her on the bottom of the boat like that, so that the fish in the clear river water could cleanse her lowly body, and at the same time, she would drift on the boat forever, unable to be reborn.
