Thief, you are teasing me

After the rain, the sky was a little brighter.

Chen Ye opened his eyes in horror, what seemed to be a deserted gazebo in front of him, and he was leaning against a warm embrace.The other party was leaning tiredly on the edge of the wooden railing, his long hair messily stuck to his cheek, but it couldn't cover his pale face.

"Shun!" Chen Ye shook Feng Shun's shoulder, "Why are you here? Did you save me?"

Feng Shun opened his eyes and said tiredly: "I heard your cry for help. It was raining when I rushed over... I saw you passed out in the weeds, so I brought you here to shelter from the rain."

Chen Ye looked at his body suspiciously, he didn't know why he passed out, he obviously saw a monster in the patriarch's room, did he scare himself before?

"Why are you alone, isn't Ah Xiao with you?"

"I don't know." Feng Shun shook his head, he was attacked and passed out before.When he woke up, he found that he was locked in a coffin. When he finally crawled out of the tomb, he heard Chen Ye's cry for help, so there was the current dialogue.

Feng Shun thought about it for a while, then supported Chen Ye's shoulder and said, "Can you stop stealing?"

Chen Ye opened Feng Shun's hand angrily, "No, I can't leave Ah Xiao behind! What's more, I haven't stolen the Xiangwang horn yet, and I won't leave until I get the treasure!"

"Secretly, what else do you do other than steal? If you keep things that don't belong to you, you will be killed sooner or later. Why don't you listen to me?"

Feng Shun recalled the tragedy of his family. If he hadn't got the treasure he didn't deserve, he wouldn't have lost his family, let alone his beloved twin brother.

Chen Ye remained silent with a sullen face, Feng Shun said again: "Even if you stole it all, so what, are you so sure that you can find your sister?"

"So what if you're not sure? All I know is that if you don't do anything, you'll never find it! It's fine if you don't support me, why do you keep blocking me?" Chen Ye was a little aggrieved. Reasonable, and I am connected with the lifeline of the original owner, I believe that doing so will definitely pay off.

Feng Shun supported his body and stood up, staring into Chen Ye's eyes and said: "Even if it will cost you your life, even if it will affect others, do you still insist on stealing?"

Not to be outdone, Chen Ye stared back, "Stealing is my business, and I won't implicate anyone. If you don't like it, get out, and I didn't say I'd keep you!"

"Okay, I'll get out." Feng Shun turned and left resolutely, and Chen Ye reached out and grabbed his hand for some reason.

The moment Feng Shun turned his head, Chen Ye noticed two blood holes on his neck, "What's the matter with the wound on your neck?"

"Why do you care so much, steal your treasure." Feng Shun shook off Chen Ye's hand and left, Chen Ye watched Feng Shun go away, feeling cold in his heart.

The cold wind howled past, Feng Shun stopped by the stream, poured a handful of cold water on his face, but couldn't calm down the panic in his heart.In fact, when he heard Chen Ye's cry for help before, he saw a dozen or so strange things, they were skinny, with disheveled hair that seemed to be in the shape of a human.

At that moment, Feng Shun rushed up with a roar, he didn't know where he got the courage, he was obviously unarmed and weak.Because of his sudden intrusion, those things retreated a circle, but after a while they gradually gathered together, making treacherous shrill laughter.

No matter how Feng Shun roared, those monsters were no longer afraid, he could hardly stand upright, but he still defended Chen Ye tightly.At the critical juncture, the neighing of elephants was heard not far away, and they were frightened instantly, and the two were able to escape...

Ripples appeared on the surface of the water, Feng Shun looked at his reflection and touched the bite mark on his neck.He thought, those monsters should be the things that grabbed his back and bit his neck to suck blood, right?

"There are ghosts in this place, how could I be willing to leave you..." Feng Shun muttered to himself, the reason why he didn't want Chen Ye to steal was because he didn't want to see Chen Ye get hurt.

The sky is clouded with dark clouds, and it seems that a storm is coming.

Chen Ye returned to the patriarch's house depressed. At this time, people were busy decorating the mansion, posting happy words and pulling red silk to prepare fine wine.I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Chen Ye always feels that there are ghosts in this house, and there is a fishy smell that seems to be there.It really felt like what Luo Qi said, something was staring at him in the dark.

"Oh, I found a girl!" Two people who looked like aunts walked over, took Chen Ye's arms and went into the room.

"What... what are you doing?" Chen Ye almost used a male voice when he got excited, only to hear the two aunts flatteringly say: "Of course we will go to the room to tailor the clothes, we will make the most beautiful wedding dress for the girl!"

"What?!" Chen Ye's face was horrified, what if people find out that he is a man?He desperately wanted to break free from each other's shackles, but found that the two women were so strong that they wished they could lift him up.

As soon as he entered the door, the two aunts fumbled around on him, almost touching a bad place.In a hurry, Chen Ye stuck two needles in their heads, then broke through the door and left.

"The bride has escaped!" Seeing Chen Ye running wildly, the servants in the courtyard hurriedly put down their work and ran after her.

Chen Ye ran around in the huge courtyard like a headless fly, accidentally caught a glimpse of a dilapidated house hidden behind a corner not far away.It looked like it was a place to store sundries, so he hurried over and kicked the door open to hide in.

But as soon as he entered the door, Chen Ye smelled a strong fishy smell, and an ominous premonition rushed to his heart.He hurriedly opened the door to go out, but found that there were people looking for him outside, and had to close the door again.

"There shouldn't be ghosts here, right?" Chen Ye turned around tremblingly, folded his palms and meditated on Amitabha Buddha.The surrounding light was dim, and there were rectangular pieces of wood piled up everywhere. He squinted his eyes to identify them, and suddenly realized that they were all coffins!

Damn, the room is full of coffins!Chen Ye was so frightened that he almost knelt down, but he didn't dare to go out easily when he heard the voices of the crowd outside.

Faintly, there was a faint coughing sound in the dimness, Chen Ye instantly became alert, and tremblingly fumbled for the weapon on his body, only to find that there was only the last needle left.

"Ahem..." The voice came again, like a man.

"Who's there? Is it a human or a ghost?" Chen Ye held a silver needle with one fingertip and a fire folder with the other, and gradually poked in that direction.He opened the fire folder and put it next to his mouth to blow on it, but due to the water entering it before, it failed to ignite for a long time.

"It's people..."

Unexpectedly, the other party responded, and Chen Ye almost dropped the needle with a trembling hand.At this moment, the torch in his hand ignited, and his vision instantly brightened.It was only then that Chen Ye realized that there was a man in white leaning against the coffin. The man's head was tilted, his neck was stained with blood, and his long messy black hair covered his cheeks.

"Ghost!" Chen Ye was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and rubbed his hands on the ground twice.

"It's a man." The man turned his head and reached out to brush away the long hair beside his face.And his arms were handcuffed with iron chains, and he was connected to the wooden post in the center of the house.

Chen Ye dared to hold up the torch to illuminate, and saw that the man was picturesque, with a gentle appearance, probably in his early thirties.Before Chen Ye could ask, the man asked, "Excuse me, are you male or female?"

"Do you think I am a man or a woman?"

"I don't think I'm as beautiful as a man, but as bold as a woman."

Chen Ye was pleasant to hear these words, so he squatted in front of the other party and said, "Who are you, and why are you locked here?"

The other party didn't answer, but asked instead: "Who are you, to dare to come here? Didn't the patriarch's family tell you that all the corpses are in this shabby house?"

"Corpse girl?" Chen Ye couldn't help but look around, those coffins were piled up in disorder, at least thirty of them.He frowned, and said tremblingly: "I have only been here for two days, and I don't know much about the affairs of the patriarch's family. Please, brother, explain to me."

The man in white rolled his eyes slightly, "Not many people in this clan can speak Chinese, so your accent is from Yelang, right? You disguised yourself as a woman in order to enter the city, but you were recruited by the patriarch as a daughter-in-law. Was discovered by the clansmen, so you hid here in a panic?"

Chen Ye was a little dumbfounded, this man almost guessed everything right.But listening to the other party's speech, he didn't look like a member of the clan, so he couldn't help but be wary: "Who the hell are you, why are you locked here, and what's the matter with the wound on your neck?"

The man seemed to have no intention of answering, so Chen Ye pressed the silver needle under the other's throat, threatening: "This is a poisonous needle that seals the throat at the sight of blood, tell me everything you know, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

"Actually, it's okay to tell you. My name is Yan Xi, and I am originally from Shu County. I was exiled to the territory of Ailao State a year ago, and opened a private school here to teach people how to read and write for a living. More than ten days ago, I came here at the appointment of the patriarch, but unexpectedly I was attacked by the corpse girl, and the wound on my neck was given by the corpse girl."

"You mean, the corpse girls here can not only move, but also bite people?" Chen Ye's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Could it be that these coffins are filled with zombies!

Yan Xi coughed slightly, "The reason why they are called corpse girls instead of female corpses is because they are not completely dead, and still have a weak consciousness."

"In recent years, a terrible plague has been going on here. The strange thing is that only women can get sick. I found out later that this is because corpse girls like to bite women. Once bitten, they will quickly infect the disease and die of dehydration. However, after being buried in the ground for seven days, she will be resurrected as a corpse girl."

Chen Ye's face trembled, thinking of the two blood holes on Feng Shun's neck, most likely they were bitten by the corpse girl!He couldn't help but squeezed Yan Xi's shoulder and said, "What will happen if the man is bitten? Will he get sick?"

"Men don't get sick. You see, I'm fine if I'm bitten. Ahem...According to my observation, corpse girls generally don't attack men, and even tend to protect their own men. But it's a different matter for foreigners. Once provoked Corpse girl is miserable."

Chen Ye's heart trembled again, thinking about that child Wu Xiao, whose whereabouts are still unknown.

"Actually, the tribe didn't know that there was a corpse girl, so after the daughter's heir fell ill and died, they would be buried in the ground for peace. When I discovered the existence of the corpse girl, I sent a letter to the patriarch, preparing to reveal the truth to the public. Unexpectedly The patriarch wanted to keep concealing this matter, and imprisoned me here, and I was with the corpse woman day and night."

Yan Xi coughed a few more times as he spoke, "Don't speak out about the things I told you, especially the members of the Luo family, or you will be killed."

Chen Ye nodded hesitantly, "Since there are so many corpse girls here, who might come out to bite you, aren't you afraid?"

"These coffins are all nailed to death. Even if they wake up, they won't be able to get out. At most, they will be knocked in the coffin."

Only then did Chen Ye heave a sigh of relief, but he said wittily, "Since they can't get out, then who bit your neck?"

Yan Xi touched the wound and said, "Because, there is a female corpse who is not imprisoned, she can move freely in this house. When she is in a good mood, she will bring me some food, but when she is angry, she will bite me... Today, for some reason, she rushed in and bit me hard, and then I lost consciousness until you broke in here."

"Then she's gone out now?" Chen Ye stood up and looked around, then walked to the wooden post covered with iron chains, "I'll see if I can unlock your chains."

Yan Xi was about to say thank you, but he heard a bone-thumping sound from above his head, and a scrawny figure appeared on the skylight, swooping down the wooden pillar towards Chen Ye.And Chen Ye was fiddling with the iron chain with his head down, without noticing it at all!
