Chapter 220
Li Weidong told the past events, his expression always solemn.
These things were all told to him when his grandfather was still alive when he was a child.
He sat on a chair and asked for a cigarette to light. After taking a deep breath, the white smoke danced gently and continued to rise. Finally, it slowly faded into a wisp of smoke. A wisp of light dissipated.
Li Weidong's eyes looked at the floating tracks of the smoke, and he fell into memories again.
After Li Mao was driven out of the village, he had his child with him and didn't know where he was going for a while.
After thinking about it, he always felt that there was still a problem somewhere.
So he ignored his grandfather's instructions and ran back to the village again.
But when he rushed back to the village, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
A woman with disheveled hair, wearing a long white dress, with drops of water dripping from her hair.
For some reason, this reminded him of when he first met his wife.
At that time, her wife was also wearing white clothes, and her hair was wet and dripping with water.
Li Mao's heart skipped a beat when he looked at the woman in front of him with her back turned to him.
I don’t know why, maybe it was just because he felt similar in his heart, so he subconsciously called her “wife.”
As soon as he shouted, the woman in white with her back to him trembled.
The next second, the woman slowly turned around.
It’s just that the way she turned around at this time was very weird. Her body was constantly twisting and getting stuck.
Her neck was turning, making a clicking sound. Her hands were slowly raised, trembling, and there was a sound like the collision of ice cubes.
At this moment, an icy chill hit him, and Li Mao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He found that his body seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't move for a while.
At the same time, as the woman in white who looked very much like his wife slowly turned around, and he was about to see her face clearly, the child in his arms suddenly burst into tears.
It was also at this moment that Li Mao felt like he was waking up from a dream.
At this moment, his back was completely soaked in cold sweat.
He lowered his head and glanced at the child in his arms, and saw that the child was looking at the woman in white with eyes wide and frightened, and tears kept flowing out.
At the same time, the woman opened her mouth slightly and made a sound.
"Child...child...I...I..."
Hearing this voice, Li Mao trembled again.
The voice was so hoarse, as if a dry straw had been stuffed into the throat and the sound was forced out.
But just such a voice makes people feel cold in their hearts.
The child in his arms cried louder and louder. Perhaps due to the influence of the child, Li Mao suddenly found that he could move.
At this time, he was also frightened and turned around and ran away without saying a word.
But before he could take a few steps, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing behind him.
The woman in white seems to have caught up.
At this moment, in addition to fear, Li Mao also had curiosity in his heart.
He wanted to confirm whether this woman was his wife.
Just when he was about to turn his head to confirm, a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.
Looking up, it was his grandfather!
"Don't look back!" Grandpa pulled him behind him, then held a slender wooden stick in his hand and pressed it against the chest of the woman in white in an instant.
The wrinkles on Grandpa’s face were tightly knitted together, and his face was solemn.
He took a deep breath and used the wooden stick to push the woman in white aside.
At the same time, he kicked Li Mao hard on the butt.
"Maozi, why are you back!"
Li Mao: "Grandpa, what happened, what is going on, and the woman in white, she is No...?"
"Shut up!" Before Li Mao could finish speaking, Grandpa shouted, as if he was afraid that Li Mao would call out the woman's name.
At this time, a sharp scream came.
Grandpa was in a panic for a moment and hurriedly shouted: "Maozi, go quickly! Take the children and go quickly! Don't look back, keep walking, leave this village and go to the town!"
"No matter what sounds you hear on the road , No matter what happens behind you, don’t look back or make any reaction!”
“Leave quickly!”
Grandpa shouted at the top of his lungs.
Li Mao wanted to speak again, but at this moment, a trace of blood suddenly sprayed at his feet.
Grandpa let out a painful roar and kept urging him to leave quickly without letting him look back.
“Let’s go! If you don’t go, you and the child will die!”
After hearing this, Li Mao, who had been carrying his back, took a deep breath, opened his mouth and shouted, and finally ran out .
He wanted to look back at his grandfather many times, but every time he saw the child in his arms and thought of what his grandfather had just said, he finally suppressed his thoughts.
Li Mao was walking on the country road with his child in his arms. According to his grandfather’s words, he must go to the town quickly.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He felt as if he was getting more and more remote and desolate as he walked, as if he had walked into a completely unfamiliar place.
This made him feel a little scared for no reason.
"Obviously I took the road at the entrance of the village! I have always taken that road. This road can lead directly to the town..." Li Mao thought to himself.
He was sure that he had definitely not gone the wrong way, but why did he suddenly end up in such a desolate and unfamiliar place?
Li Mao stood there, hesitating in his heart, not knowing whether he should continue to move forward.
Although there is a road here, the weeds on both sides of the road are almost as tall as him.
Gusts of wind were blowing, and the weeds were swaying, as if they were ghosts about to pounce at any time.
The friction between grass and grass made a rustling sound, disturbing his thoughts.
A thought suddenly came to his mind, that is, whether to turn back.
After all, he felt as if he had taken the wrong path, so he could only go back and find the original path.
But at this moment, he was suddenly startled again.
"If I go back, if I go back to the original path, then I will definitely turn around..."
Thinking of this, Li Mao broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.
He couldn't figure out what was going on, it was very strange.
So...is this haunting?
"Grandpa has repeatedly told me not to look back, so now there is a ghost deliberately confusing me and making me look back...?"
Li Mao thought to himself, the most likely thing about his eyes was He was turning around, looking at the surrounding environment, but he didn't dare to twist his neck, not even a little bit.
Because he didn't know if a slight movement of his neck would count as turning back.
He swallowed and looked at the child in his arms.
Finally, he made up his mind.
Since we can’t look back, we can’t retrace our steps, and we can’t stand still all the time, we have no choice but to move forward.
But where does this road in front of me lead to?
He walked forward cautiously, but at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came over.
"Maoko, Maoko...wait for me!"
This is grandpa's voice.
Li Mao was overjoyed. Did his grandfather catch up?
I was worried about what to do next, but grandpa came, just in time to ask grandpa!
Li Mao thought in his heart and was about to open his mouth and shout.
But at this moment, the child in his arms suddenly started crying again.
Hearing this voice, the joy that had just risen in his heart instantly cooled down.
"Is it really grandpa?" This thought came to Li Mao's mind.
"Maozi, Maozi! Wait for me! Grandpa is old and can't walk fast... Please wait..." Grandpa's voice continued behind him.
Just hearing this, Li Mao immediately became nervous.
This is definitely not grandpa!
Although grandpa is indeed old, his legs and feet have always been in good condition. It is impossible for grandpa to say such words.
"This is obviously trying to make me stop or look back!" Li Mao thought in his heart, thinking about his grandfather's words again.
No matter what sound or movement you hear, you cannot look back or react in any way.
"It was so dangerous just now..." Li Mao breathed a sigh of relief, almost being fooled.
Fortunately, the doll woke him up in time with its cry, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Li Mao lowered his head and looked at the child in his arms.
Perhaps because Li Mao ignored the voice behind him, after shouting a few words again, the voice stopped ringing.
But at this moment, Li Mao suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if someone was blowing air-conditioning on his neck from behind.
He couldn't hold it back for a while, he shivered and had goosebumps all over his body.
He lowered his head and kept muttering in his mind: "Don't panic...Don't panic...Don't be anxious, don't have any reaction...As if nothing has been discovered, just like usual..."
"Maoko...I am grandma..."
Just as he was comforting himself, grandma's voice suddenly sounded.
Speaking of which, Li Mao has not seen his parents since he was born. It is said that they were killed by bandits in the mountains.
For this reason, his grandparents later brought him up, and the one who treated him best was his grandma.
But he also knew very well that grandma had left that day.
Grandma went to repay her life because she borrowed it.
But until now, he has not figured out whose life he borrowed.
And can something like life really be borrowed?
And does borrowing his life have anything to do with his deceased wife?
Whose life is this borrowed from?
Borrowing his wife's life?
But...why did grandma borrow her daughter-in-law's life?
Li Mao really doesn’t understand.
But to think about it from another angle, the daughter-in-law has always been in poor health and passed away not long after giving birth to the child.
Could this be because of being borrowed?
And when grandpa took him and his children to kneel before the grave that day, grandpa said that they were the ones who were sorry for her.
So...is this really the case?
Li Mao was thinking about these things, maybe because he was too absorbed in thinking, he actually ignored the voice of his grandmother behind him for a moment, and even the cold air blowing from the back of his neck did not matter. Noticed.
Looking down again, the baby in his arms had stopped crying long ago, and was looking at him with a pair of big eyes, snickering.
Li Mao also smiled at the child and reached out to pinch his little face.
But when he looked up again, a dilapidated temple covered with spider webs appeared in front of him.
As for the road under our feet, it has come to an end.
At this time, a white figure flashed past.
Somehow, there seemed to be an invisible force urging Li Mao to enter this ruined temple.
…………
In the small room, Li Weidong had finished talking and a cigarette had been burned out.
He took a deep breath, asked for another cigarette and lit it again.
At this time, the middle-aged man asked: "What happened in the end? How did your grandfather leave?"
Li Weidong took a puff of the cigarette, and then said: "My grandfather told me , just when he was about to be tricked in, a Taoist priest suddenly appeared, and he didn’t know what the Taoist priest had done. Then the scene in front of him began to change..."
It was not until that time that , Li Maocai discovered that he had not gone far at all.
He felt like he had been walking all night, but in fact he was not much different from staying where he was.
It was only then that Li Mao smelled a strong smell of blood.
When he turned around to look, he saw that his grandfather's chest had been pierced by the wooden stick, and he was nailed to the big tree in the village with a pair of staring eyes.
This video ends here.
Li Weidong has told everything he knows, and he can make a rough judgment based on this content.
The current [Misty Forest] may be caused by that incident back then.
Li Mao is Li Weidong's grandfather, and the child back then was Li Weidong's father.
For some reason, the woman in white came to ask for her life.
This woman in white is suspected to be the little girl brought back by Grandma Li Mao.
Because many years have passed since this incident, resentment continued to accumulate and finally exploded, leading to the current situation.
Then, Li Mao's descendant, Li Weidong's son, was somehow confused and took the initiative to enter the [Misty Forest].
He Wenzhi was thinking about this, but suddenly thought of [borrowing life].
When he mentioned [Borrowing Life], he thought of Han Yumeng again.
Because when he took Han Yumeng to see Li Ziru, Li Ziru mentioned borrowing his life.
According to Li Ziru, Han Yumeng was destined to suffer a great calamity, and several people in her family had already taken the blame for her.
In particular, Li Ziru also mentioned something at the time.
Han Yumeng died young, and the reason why she is able to survive until now is not only because there are people to protect her from disasters.
More importantly, Han Yumeng may have borrowed his life!
And the person she borrowed her life from was most likely not a human!
Thinking about it now, Han Yumeng's incident and what Li Weidong said seemed to involve borrowing one's life.
Moreover, Han Yumeng's father is missing and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Then Li Weidong’s son entered the [Misty Forest], and his life and death are still unknown.
He Wenzhi thought about it carefully and remembered that Li Ziru seemed to have calculated it for Han Yumeng's father, and then he only got the word "corpse".
And the scope of the fog this time is still very large.
Such a large-scale movement, could it be that another secret realm is about to appear?
"Why don't we let him do the math again this time?" He Wenzhi thought to himself, tapping the screen of his phone with his fingers.
Originally I planned to send a message, but after thinking about it, I decided to call directly. (End of this chapter)
