Chapter 117 Hibiscus emerges from the water
Under the ginkgo tree burning with fire in the heart of the tree, Ji Taixun, who was covered in bites, stood beside the earth temple, silently watching the impostor who did not know whether he was a human or a ghost holding her hand. My sister's hand went further and further away.
My sister looked very happy, and the guy who pretended to be her identity seemed to know how to trick people.
"What does that thing want to do? What does he want to do with my sister?" Ji Taixun glanced at her grandmother who was kneeling in front of the Earth Temple and kowtowed like garlic. She hesitated whether to follow her. The impostor who stole his own sister.
Ji Taixun is not sure what state she is in now. Whether it is her grandfather, grandmother, other people in the village, or even the 'thing' that pretended to be her identity, it seems that no one can aware of his presence.
He felt that he was now a bit like the lonely ghost in folklore who wandered everywhere after death. But if he was a ghost, what was the thing that replaced him?
And the woman in red who just appeared under the ginkgo tree...
Ji Taixun swallowed silently, but there was a big hole in his throat and he could no longer swallow ' movement, the feeling of emptiness and weirdness made him couldn't help but look around. Ever since he crawled out of the coffin after his 'death', the appearance of Yanglao Village in Ji Texun's eyes had completely changed.
He followed the counterfeit, who didn't know whether he was a human or a ghost, all the way from his grandmother's house to the Tutu Temple. He saw people coming and going on the empty streets, and strange 'people' wandering in the sheep prison. There are houses in front and back of the village, but neither grandpa nor grandma seems to be able to see those 'people', just like they can't see themselves.
The state of those 'people' is difficult to describe, or it would be more appropriate to simply call them 'ghosts'.
Ji Taixun raised his head slightly and watched Ning Zhe leading Yin Lishang farther and farther away. He could see four strange ghost figures following them, but the two of them seemed unaware of it. Chatting and laughing, while walking forward.
There are 4 ghost figures following Ning Zhe:
One is an old ghost with rotten teeth and a smile on his face, holding a human head in his left hand
One is a thin ghost, tall and thin as a hemp stalk, holding a human foot pole in each hand
The other is a fat ghost, with a wide face and a big belly, holding a pair of human lungs in his right hand
< br>
One is a hunchbacked ghost, very young, carrying a big burden on his back, stuffed with human bones, and making a crunching sound in his mouth
In fact, there were originally five ghosts, and One is a human-bone snake with Grandma Wang's head, the same one that killed Ji Taixun last night.
But just now, the counterfeit didn’t know what he had done. A young girl wearing a red wedding dress suddenly appeared under the ginkgo tree. Her snow-white face had no facial features, and she held a hand in her delicate hand. This almanac.
Like a big fish floating in a bottomless pool, the woman in red appeared in front of the Earth Temple and gently opened the almanac in her hand.
At the same time, Ji Taixun saw that the human skeleton snake that had been following the counterfeit suddenly had its eyes gleaming, and it pounced on it like crazy, opening her black mouth with few good teeth, and He wanted to tear off a few pieces of delicate flesh from the white and tender girl... But in the next moment, Grandma Wang screamed and disappeared.
All this happened so fast that Ji Taixun could only vaguely see her body holding her grandma. It was hazy for a moment, and then returned to its original shape. At this time, when she concentrated again, what she saw was the woman in the wedding dress. The body slipped down and lay on the ground struggling with human bones and snakes.
‘Grandma Wang’ is dead.
"The impostor...he killed Grandma Wang? Is he capable of dealing with these ghosts?"
The horrific scene he witnessed with his own eyes made Ji Taixun even more cautious. The impostor cannot see ghosts. , but it can kill ghosts?
If he is exposed, can he also kill me?
What on earth is that woman in red? Is he also a ghost?
It is completely different from the peaceful and quiet small village that normal living people such as Ning Zhe and Feng Yushu saw. In Ji Taixun's eyes, Yanglao Village is full of all kinds of weird people. Ghosts or weirdos, those weirdos did not harm him and seemed to be not interested in him, but they were attracted and followed by the few living people in the village, but did nothing.
While Ji Taixun was hesitating, Ning Zhe had already led Yin Lishang far away. He hesitated again and again, but finally did not follow.
Although her mother told her to go home and take good care of her sister in her letter, her intuition told Ji Taixun that that person was very dangerous, very, very dangerous. "I have to find a way to remind grandma... that person is not me, that is a fake." Ji Taixun secretly gritted his teeth. He had already tried breaking the bowl in the cabinet before, but the effect was not good. What method should be used? How can I safely remind my family without being noticed by the impostor?
It takes time to think about this problem, but Ning Zhe didn't give him this time.
Shortly after Ning Zhe left with Yin Lishang, several erratic and hazy ghost figures suddenly appeared in the alley across the street from the Tutu Temple.
Ghosts in the village will be attracted to people. The gathering of ghosts means that there are people. Ji Taixun stepped forward and took a look. Sure enough, there was a stranger hiding in the alley. It was a dignified person as beautiful as a water hibiscus. The noble lady wore a long purple dress, expensive jewelry, and exquisite cloud hair.
Ji Taixun had seen this person on the bus when he came.
“Is it her?”
She also came to the village? ...That's right. When I was on the bus, I heard this woman telling the conductor that she wanted to come to Yanglao. She was originally going to come here.
The lady carefully put the phone back into her pocket, wrapped her legs with a long skirt and sat on the firewood pile against the wall. Then, a black shadow quickly emerged from under her feet. .
Ji Taijun's vision was not enough to capture the speed of the shadow. He subconsciously turned his head in the direction of the shadow's movement. He saw the grandmother kneeling in front of the Earth Temple stiffened and collapsed on the ground. on the ground.
His grandmother died.
Shocked emotions suddenly filled Ji Taifun's brain, but more terrifying scenes followed one after another.
After killing her grandmother, the woman took out her phone again, pursed her lips and started typing on the screen. There was a little expression of excitement and expectation on her face, as if she was asking for credit, her bright face was After getting the compliment he wanted, he smiled charmingly and trotted out of the alley where he was hiding.
Ji Taixun did not catch up, only her grandmother’s body lay quietly in front of the Tutu Temple, the flame in the heart of the ginkgo tree was still burning, and the July in Yunzhou exuded a scorching heat.
Crack - crackle - is the explosion made by burning wood. The incomprehensible time passed by minute by second, until the body lying on the ground slowly started to move. Ji Taixun finally confirmed that he was The guess in my mind.
I saw the chest of the corpse in front of the Earth Temple rising and falling, as if there were restless hands in the chest trying to break out.
Ji Taixun bravely walked forward and stared at her grandmother’s body struggling and twisting like a living snake. The skin and flesh on her neck were stretched, torn and hard in the fierce struggle. It was broken, the lymphatic tissue and blood vessels were dragged under the section of the neck, and the white joints came out of the chest.
Ribs crawled out of the chest with claws and teeth, the bloody snake tail twisted slightly, and a kind smile appeared on the wrinkled old cheek:
"Good grandson..."
