"Are you afraid?" Tao Shanze turned his head to look at Chen Shi.
"What are you afraid of?" Mrs. Chen pulled her coat and put it on, her eyes were half-closed, and she slowly crawled out of the quilt as if she hadn't woken up, and put on her shoes very naturally, "It's just birds and beasts. Going to the county magistrate's office now can't be said to catch up with the on-site investigation."
"Are you better? Are you still hot?" He probed Tao Shanze's forehead, thinking that there was nothing to do and continued to put on his clothes.
Tao Shanze looked at him without sadness or joy, and there was no excessive fright on that face. He was at a loss for words, hesitated for a moment and said: "All their hearts have been dug out, and the corpse that Erlang said yesterday was also , the human heart also disappeared, could it be that thing came to us yesterday?"
If it is a normal person, the first reaction when seeing the current situation is to be frightened, and maybe they will find someone to do it. This room will never set foot in the future, but the person in front of him is obviously not an ordinary person, the kind who used to be very familiar with Chi Mei. The feeling came back again, like a person sitting high on the altar, he looked at all the people, whether he lowered his head to see all living beings, and then smiled, without sadness or joy, and continued wandering meaninglessly.
"It should be, but both of us are intact, so there should be some restrictions," Chen said, almost ignoring the blood on the ground. Said to Tao Shanze: "I know what you are afraid of, find someone to clean up, and then find someone to do it."
"Then do you dare to stay here tonight?"
"Why don't you dare? Since there was nothing wrong last night, there should be nothing wrong tonight."
Mrs. Chen turned her head and waved her hands leisurely, "Let's go, I'm even more hungry after seeing those corpses."
Tao Shanze glanced at the bowl that was left untied last night, and there was a layer of brown blood clots floating on it, "..."
A group of people gathered in front of the county magistrate's mansion, some of them were watching the excitement, while others were haggard, in a mess, and even had blood on their bodies. The screams of children were endless, and most of them were unconscious and couldn't hear what they said. Qing Qing, still struggling to rush into the county magistrate's mansion, was swung down by the guard with a stick, and there was a glaring scar on his body, so no one went up again.
But the drum in front of the door suffers. The red skin of the drum is knocked by one person and the next. The only thing that is fragile is a thin film.
As soon as Tao Shanze and Mrs. Chen walked over, they heard the onlookers say, "So many people disappeared in one night, and some people died tragically at home. The doors and windows are all locked. I don't know how that villain got in?"
"You still think it was made by humans? Amitabha, if it was really made by humans, it's okay. I'm afraid it's something dirty. Now our Yanzhou is not peaceful. The sky is abnormally rainy all night, and the fog is thick. Maybe it's That man is back for revenge."
The person next to him patted him, "What about revenge, don't talk nonsense!"
Another strong man said, "Not only that, I heard that the son of Master Zhang's family was found at the end of the alley. There was a big hole in his body, piercing his chest. He was in a terrible state. His heart was gouged out. I went to arrest him quickly. know what's going on..."
"Hey, I really have to go to the Qingdi Temple to worship and show my spirit to the Lord Cangdi. I can't have so many disasters and disasters."
Tao Shanze and Chen Shi were at the end of the crowd before, and now they looked at each other, "Should we go in now or go to see the son of Master Zhang's family they mentioned?"
"There are so many people writing pleading papers this morning. I guess the county magistrate is too busy to touch the ground. Erlang's being locked up in jail also means that he did not do it. It will be a matter of time before he is released, but the youth they said The emperor's temple is very interesting, and his son Zhenxing lives in the east and takes the green dragon, so it's good to go to worship." Chen said.
Tao Shanze was noncommittal, "Have you heard what they just said about revenge, what do you think it is?"
"It may be that there was some unjust case in the county magistrate's office before, and the county master didn't judge well. Once people die in red clothes, the people will automatically understand it as revenge. This is understandable, but I think it is largely your fault." Chi Mei did it."
"He's just wearing Chi Mei's skin."
"Well, I didn't say anything about him." Chen sneered.
It had just rained last night, and the road was muddy. The two asked questions all the way, and after climbing several steps, they finally saw the red arched door.
The eaves of Qingdi Temple are flying, and there are three big characters inscribed - Qingdi Palace.
But when I got closer, I found that the red paint on it had already peeled off, and weeds grew in the gaps, but the temple was full of incense, so it should be just a lack of care.
A passer-by said: "The Taoist priest of Qingdi Temple is really spiritual. He hung this spell last night, and nothing came over."
In the distance, there was a bearded Taoist sitting on a mahogany chair with a wooden sword in his hand. His face was cold and thin, his cheekbones were protruding, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he stroked his beard from time to time. There was a long queue in front of him, far from the front of the county magistrate's mansion. Tao Shanze and Chen Shi stood in the shade under the tree, watching the Taoist priest carefully.
"What did you see?" Chen asked.
"It's nothing. Taoist priests seem to be good at Taoism, otherwise they won't be able to gain prestige among the crowd. It's just that this temple is bigger than I imagined, and I don't know how many small buildings there are behind it. Go and have a look later." Tao Shanze said .
"I think he's just a magic stick. I somehow think that if he does, I might do it too."
"Then you can really think about it and see if you have missed anything. Do your memories really belong to you? Is there a moment when you feel that you have another person's memory."
Tao Shanze said sternly, he looked up at Chen Shi, a light suddenly appeared from the sky, and fell softly on his shoulders, he couldn't see his expression clearly against the light, but he found a trace of familiarity in it.
Standing at the gate of the school, Chu Kui tightly clutched the book Song Tao gave him last time, stretching his neck and looking at the road in the distance. There were cars passing by on the road, and parents led their children into it. , but he did not see Song Tao's shadow.
"I'll just say he's lying. He doesn't have a brother who is as handsome as Bai Long. He lied to us!" A little boy next to him was talking to another child, and after speaking, he stuck out his tongue and made a grimace at him. .
And the little fat boy said, "He's a liar!"
"I didn't lie!" Chu Qian said confidently.
"The parents' meeting will be held in 10 minutes, and then you can see if you have lied."
Seeing that the door was about to close, but he didn't see Song Tao's figure, his eyes overflowed with steam, "I clearly agreed, and he promised me..."
His voice became lower and lower, and he completely lost the confidence just now, and his vision of the road ahead became blurred, and he wiped his eyes with his hands without disappointment.
When we arrived in the classroom, there was already a lot of voices. The children saw that their parents were so happy that they chattered non-stop. When they were sitting in the back, they saw the little boy in the front row sitting in the arms of their parents, turning their heads towards him. Roll your eyes.
The teacher walked into the classroom, and when he was about to start speaking, the door suddenly opened, and the sunlight in the corridor flickered, everyone squinted their eyes, first saw the black silhouette, and after the eyes adjusted to the light, they saw a handsome man in a Chinese tunic suit walking in , with bright eyes, handsome facial features, and an indescribable cold temperament. If everyone here is mortal, then there must be a place that is not stained by dust. The scenery that belongs to the world.
"Sorry sir, something was delayed."
The teacher stared at him blankly, forgetting what to say for a while.
The visitor went straight to Chu Wei, and instead of sitting down immediately, squatted down and looked at Chu Wei who was sitting on the small chair as usual, "I'm sorry, I'm late, I won't do it next time."
Chu Wei sobbed aggrievedly, Song Tao hugged him in his arms, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and gently covered his eyes, "Don't cry, eh? Don't cry for a man, it will damage your eyes." .”
Chu Qian took off the handkerchief, murmured softly and stayed in his arms obediently, and said in a childish voice, "I didn't cry."
"Well, it's my fault." Song Tao smiled, and the parents sitting beside him couldn't help staring at his face for a long time.
Originally, the teacher held the parent-teacher meeting to say that the child Chu Wei is a bit out of gregarious, and he usually doesn’t play with the children, but now he can’t say a word. Facing such parents, I just want to say some praises and tell him to be good. Healing, all the little friends are very friendly to him.
However, it was the best parent-teacher meeting that Chu Qiang had ever held since he was in school. All the children sat on the laps of their parents, and only he had his brother’s chest to rely on. With envious eyes, this feeling is not to mention how great it is.
On the way back, for the first time, Chu Qian pointed to the small cake in the dessert shop and said that he wanted mousse.
"Aren't you angry?" Song Tao knelt down and flicked the tip of his nose.
"I'm not angry. Just now Xiaopang told me I'm sorry. I'm not lying. I really have a brother like Bailong." Chu Wei pinched his waist and smiled stupidly. When the wind blew his hat rolled away. When he came down, if he was in front of people before, he would immediately go up to pick it up and put it on, but now he doesn't hold back at all, letting his silver hair flutter in the wind generously.
"Who is Bailong?" Song Tao led him in, ordered a small cake, and carefully fed a piece to him.
"It's a man in a cartoon, very handsome, he can sit on his back, and take Xiaoqian to roam freely in the sky." Chu Wei sat contentedly in the dessert shop, his calves couldn't reach the ground, leisurely Shaking, swaying, eating the cake in small bites, still slurring his speech.
"Okay, I will be your mount from now on, okay?" Song Tao said with a smile.
"No, you are my elder brother, not a mount," Chu Wei said seriously, "Why are you late today?"
Song Tao took out a child's palm-sized mask from the pocket of his Chinese tunic suit. On it was a small Song Tao's face. Although it was small, his facial features were three-dimensional and lifelike. for you."
"Why did you give me this, he's not really you."
"Won't you feel good when you see someone who looks the same as me? If this mask is enlarged and worn on someone else's face, will you admit it?"
"Of course not!" Chu Wei scooped up a large piece of cake angrily, "I don't judge you by your appearance."
"You won't say you rely on your heart?"
"How come, I rely on the smell. The mask only changes the appearance, but the smell on the body will not change. Brother, you will always have the smell of mountain leaves on your body. It's like rain mixed with soil. The only person I like is your smell." Chu Qian said earnestly, blinking his eyes.
"Then what if you lose all five senses and can only see this face?"
"If that's the case, I won't recognize anyone. Waiting for my five senses to recover, the real you will come to me."
***
Now there is a woman, when this woman is in line, the woman knelt on her knees, and the accompanying bags were scattered, filled with white money. Son, I haven't been back for two days. He has disappeared since he went out to play with the kid next door. No matter how I search, I can't find it. There are so many strange things that eat people's hearts, and I don't know what happened to him. What crime did you do!"
Tao Shanze ran over quickly, "Wait, you said the next door is Mrs. Wang's house?"
"How do you know?" The woman should have washed her face with tears for a long time, her eyes were red and she stood up suddenly, making a gesture to grab Tao Shanze's collar, but was stopped by Mrs. Chen who came running after her, "Speak up if you have something to say."
"You didn't go to Mrs. Wang's house to look for it. Now Mrs. Wang is in the hospital and Wang Erxiao is at home. I saw three people in their house last night..."
Chen stopped suddenly when she said this, and the Taoist priest who had been sitting on the chair stood up at this time. The woman said, "Of course I went, but the door of his house was locked, and there was no sign of our child outside, but I heard the voice of a man talking. I don't know if he is doing something shady."
Tao Shanze clearly remembered seeing the shadows of two children in their home last night, and Mrs. Chen was also there. The two of them would never admit their mistakes, "Mrs. Wang is home? Isn't she a widow?"
The woman snorted coldly and stopped crying. Just as she was about to speak, someone echoed: "Who doesn't this woman steal a man at home, even if there are four or five people, it's normal."
"I heard it wasn't her husband who came back this morning?"
"Let me tell you, Mrs. Wang usually looks like a good wife and mother with her children at home. Who knows what's going on behind the scenes. His son was found by evil spirits because of her misconduct."
"You can't judge by appearance, but you have to watch your wife carefully, don't be seduced by her."
The woman's eyes were bright, and she wiped away her tears, as if she had turned on a switch, "Her husband just left home many years ago, but now he is back. In Yanzhou City, he came back to eat the rotten weeds of turning back."
Some people disappeared one after another, and people who have been away from home for many years come back at this time. It is not uncommon, but Tao Shanze feels cold. No matter what, Mrs. Wang is a widowed mother. It was so embarrassing to say in public.
Tao Shanze glanced at Chen, but found that he was looking at the temple behind the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest with an inscrutable face finally said, "Ma'am, there is a cloud of blackness on your face, which is an ominous sign," he suddenly raised his head With a voice, "It's not just her, everyone present has more or less on the surface. It seems that Yanzhou City is a catastrophe."
Everyone chattered non-stop, Tao Shanze touched his forehead, but felt that his forehead was slightly cold, and then looked at Mrs. Chen.
But in everyone's mouth, the target of public criticism has become Mrs. Wang's family. Feeling smoky.
A group of people came to the yard of Mrs. Wang's house. It was just a dilapidated thatched house. After the heavy rain washed away, a hole was broken in the roof, and now the rain was still pouring in. From a long distance, they saw the husband who came back standing on the roof mending the thatch. Mrs. Wang stood below and handed it to her husband. In the yard, Wang Erxiao squatted on the ground in coarse linen clothes to fight crickets.
A family of three enjoyed themselves happily.
Mrs. Wang looked vigilant when she saw a group of people coming in, especially the Taoist priests from Qingdi Temple, "We don't need to do anything here, please go out."
A villager shouted loudly: "Mrs. Wang, yesterday you said that you saw the cannibal corpses of your son and neighbor's children and Tao Shanze's second brother behind a wall. You don't need to do anything now? Are you afraid yesterday? It’s amazing, it doesn’t matter if your husband comes back now? Could it be that you have a ghost in your heart, so you dare not see people!”
The villagers all looked at Mrs. Wang.
Especially the woman in the neighbor's house. The woman stared at her, wanting to dig a hole out of her. She seemed to be tearing her up, but she was held back by the people around her, and she spat, "Where is my son! Why? Only your son is back, and mine!"
"How do I know where your son is? I just came back this morning. Besides, didn't you come to see me this morning? There is no child here, and I won't let you come here to disturb our life today." Mrs. Wang shouted , At the same time, he blocked the gate of the courtyard tightly, and called his husband's name, "Sixth son, come down quickly, if you can't do it, report to the official, and see if there is any king's law in this world."
"You don't need to report to the official, it's really a thief calling for a thief! I reported to the official before I came!" A sharp voice shouted coldly.
Mrs. Wang said nothing to let the group of them go in. This battle made the neighbors in the vicinity come to watch the excitement, and there were different opinions for a while.
Seeing that the situation could not turn around quickly, Mrs. Chen said calmly: "Mrs. Wang, now that your neighbor's child is gone, this lady is very anxious. Let her in and take a look. If you don't let her in today, you will Can't tell."
The man who was called Six Sons finally came down from the roof, "What's the matter, what's the matter, what are you doing this morning!"
Everyone gasped, his face was ferocious, with a scar running across his left cheek to his right cheek, with a fierce look, and one leg was lame, he limped over, "Go back if you have nothing to do, don't Disturbing Lao Tzu's life, I don't usually see you being courteous, but now that I'm back, why do I still want to find fault?"
But before he finished speaking, he saw the Taoist priest take out a yellow talisman from his bosom, muttering something in his mouth, the talisman flashed golden light, and flew to Liu Zi's forehead, but Liu Zi didn't feel anything, so he tore it off , "What are these things, don't get your Taoist things on me."
Everyone looked at each other, but Mrs. Chen stood in front of Tao Shanze first, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, he has evil spirits on him, ordinary spells can't help him."
"Stand back, big guy, this man is not human! He is a demon who eats people's hearts!" The Taoist shouted and sprinkled a handful of rice grains, and the people around all backed away in horror. People who had been away from home for many years are now lame after returning home. Even when she was in trouble, she even went to the roof to repair thatch. The wife who was afraid at first changed her appearance and refused to let anyone approach her.
But at this time, excitement is more than panic. I don't know who reported it to the officer. The county magistrate who had been yawning last night also arrived. As soon as the sedan chair fell off, the master helped him down, and the arresters with him came inside and outside. The yard was surrounded outside, and even the flies had no chance of escaping. Unknowingly, there were pots of dog blood and donkey hooves piled up in a basket full, emitting a foul smell constantly.
It was a stormy night, and Tao Shanze saw an evil ghost in the room with a human skin painted on it. His bruised fingers were pinching a pen to carefully whitewash the already damaged human skin. He had a green face and fangs, and he could only survive in the world by relying on human skin. Is it a new skin now?Hateful looking because you don't have time to draw?The scars after painting the skin have not disappeared?But why choose here, Mrs. Wang's house is the source of everything and everyone is the target of criticism. Not only are they staring at it, but the neighbors around will definitely come over.
Tao Shanze took the opportunity to sneak in, everyone's eyes were on the two adults, no one noticed Wang Erxiao who had been playing with crickets in the corner, now he stood up with a frightened face, the child's face was pale, wanting to He ran into the house, but was grabbed by the collar by Tao Shanze. He was only five or six years old and could lift it up with almost no effort, "Where are you going?"
"I want you to take care of it!" the child said inarticulately.
"Tell me, when did your parents come back?" Tao Shanze grabbed his clothes to prevent him from escaping.
The little boy struggled for a while and simply accepted his fate and said, "My parents came back this morning."
"Then who was with you last night?" Tao Shanze's eyebrows twitched, his scalp tingling.
"I can't remember! Let me go!" the child yelled frantically, trying to bite Tao Shanze's elbow.
Here, Mrs. Wang finally saw Wang Erxiao, and ran over like crazy. The woman was so powerful that she pushed Tao Shanze away. The woman screamed and shouted: "Don't touch my son! Bring the Taoist here indiscriminately." Looking for us, and now you are saying that the baby's father is a monster, I think you are the monster!"
She protected the child behind her, but all the villagers believed the Taoist priest. First, one person stepped forward and grabbed Liu Zi with his backhand. Some kicked, and slapped and kicked the man in a circle. The man's ferocious face was covered with gravel, and blood was even worn out, and his body was in a state of embarrassment.
Mrs. Wang didn't have the strength to shout anymore. A man came over and tied her up so that she couldn't move. The scene was very chaotic. Wang Erxiao screamed all over in fright. Regardless of whether anyone was lost in the family, these villagers have lost their minds now, with a Taoist expression. Serenely, Tao Shanze carefully sprinkled the dog blood prepared by the county magistrate's house all over the courtyard. Tao Shanze realized that something was wrong, but no matter what Tao Shanze yelled, they didn't listen to them. They cursed and beat him one after another. The man gave up struggling and closed his eyes , no breathing.
A living life was turned into nothingness by their punches and kicks, and turned into mud like loess.
Mrs. Wang rushed over, screaming desperately, struggling to push away the crowd that was pressing down on her husband, her eyes were red, tears were streaming down, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't breathe, "You! It's you! I killed him in the same way more than 30 years ago. One person! Gossip! Follow the crowd! With your inexplicable sense of justice, you are complacent about standing on the side you think is right."
"Wait," the Taoist didn't care what Mrs. Wang said, just stepped forward, took out a talisman and stuck it on Liu Zi's forehead. Under the watchful eyes, the blood-red meat separated and fell to the ground, and there were countless tiny bugs crawling inside, "Is this what you call innocent? Your husband is a demon, and now I have taken it away, so there is no need to quibble."
As soon as he finished speaking, those villagers punched the dead Liuzi again, and some people spat on him.
"My husband just came back, and you killed him. You are a Taoist priest, but you are just doing some tricks to cover up your crimes!" Mrs. Wang burst into tears, and hugged Wang Erxiao who kept crying.
"Everyone listen to me," the Taoist priest wiped the dog blood from his hands, the crowd suddenly fell silent, only the cries of women and children resounded through the sky, "Now this house is covered with evil spirits, and it can only be done by burning it. , the souls of those who have been dug out by the six sons can rest in peace, and the next reincarnation will not be thrown into the Ten Cold Hell."
As soon as the words fell, the crowd shouted: "Burn! Burn!"
Someone took firewood and ran wildly into the yard, and Mrs. Wang and the little boy were also tied to wooden chairs and couldn't move.
Tao Shanze on the side rushed in, and now the situation is like a cult, but he is firmly held down by the crowd, each of them has black and white eyeballs, and each of them is a fresh life, but they are clearly distinct, now Whoever is helping the mother and son is their common enemy.
"What the hell are you talking about, they are humans! Can't you see it!" Tao Shanze yelled crazily, but the pendant on his body can resist ghosts, but it can't stop human beings. Humans are more terrifying than ghosts , what is more terrifying than people is the human heart.
"It's you!" Tao Shanze was clasped tightly by the crowd, he looked at the Taoist priest, "You villain! Wouldn't you be frightened sitting under the statue!"
But the Taoist didn't look at him at all, but talked to the county magistrate at the side. The master next to him took the pleading paper and asked him to pass it over. The six sons pressed without using Indonesia, and the blood on his body that was beaten by everyone has already printed a complete shape.
"You are the parent officer, so you just close the case?" Tao Shanze looked at everyone in disbelief, and thought he was in hell for a moment. What he found weird was that everyone thought the county magistrate was right, and everyone praised the county magistrate. Well done by Ling | The Taoist is right, he has no objection to burning the mother and son with the thatched cottage.
"You speak for those two evil spirits, are you also a demon?" Someone in the crowd shouted.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and someone immediately pulled Tao Shanze to the Taoist priest, "Is he a demon?"
The Taoist stroked his beard, "I can't tell, it's just that the scar on his neck healed too quickly. There was only a scorched palm print yesterday, and it disappeared today?"
"Yes, it was clear when I reported to the official last night."
"I was there, I saw it, how could a mortal recover immediately!"
"Unless he is also a demon!"
"Burn him, no wonder he complained about the mother and son, it turns out he is also a demon!"
In the conversation between you and me, Tao Shanze looked at everyone in horror. He had a fever last night and went out in a hurry in the morning. He didn't pay attention to his scars, but he became the basis for their judgment.
Now Tao Shanze and the mother and child are tied up in the middle of the yard. They are surrounded by straw, and the grass on the thatched house was also ripped off by the villagers as fuel for the combustion. The rapeseed oil Mrs. Wang was reluctant to use in the house was They sprinkled the straw recklessly, everyone's eyes were fiery, and everyone had a treacherous sense of justice.
Tao Shanze looked at the crowd and saw pairs of crazy eyes, but he didn't see Mrs. Chen alone. Is the person he thought was Chi Mei really Chi Mei?
If he wasn't Chi Mei, but also a ghost with a phantom, was he always by his side waiting for such an ending?With everyone's hand, let him see the truth of this Liaozhai world, where is the real Chi Mei?
Everything was ready, and at the moment when the lit torch was about to touch the firewood, the thick fog stopped suddenly, and the water vapor extinguished the flames. Everyone couldn't see the way ahead, as if they were in a white and single space.
Some people in the crowd screamed "God's Wrath", some said it was the catastrophe of Yanzhou City, and some urged the place to be burned quickly, because the evil spirits are about to cause trouble.
But the torch couldn't be ignited anyway, it seemed that it could only be done when the fog cleared.
Wang Erxiao, who had been crying all the time, suddenly stopped, and suddenly let out a piercing scream, and then Tao Shanze became dizzy for a while, and opened his eyes again, but he was standing in a mansion, surrounded by a group of people in front of the door, Tao Shanze took a closer look Heh, aren't these people the ones who threatened to burn them to death just now?
No, he immediately realized that everyone at the door now has two souls, one of which is their master personality, and the other is the group of people who set fire, but their personalities are all fused together strangely, without distinction between you and me .
The sun was shining at this time, they stood at the door of the mansion and pointed, they didn't know what they were doing, as if they were being raped, "This family is really a sinner, this man has just been back for three months Who would believe that a woman gave birth."
"It's still a big fat boy, I don't know which family's evil seed it is."
"Let me tell you, this woman thinks she's pretty, and goes around to seduce other men."
"..."
Tao Shanze wanted to stop a passer-by to ask about the situation, but then he looked at the surrounding scenery and realized that it was in the alley where he and Mrs. Chen came for the first time. At the end of the alley, there should have been a stone wall blocking it. Sure enough, there was a mansion there, with two small stone lions at the door and two red lanterns hanging high, but at this time it was full of people.
"Let me just say, it's better to marry a male wife. A male wife can go to war without getting pregnant. It's inevitable that a wife can't do anything out of the ordinary when she stays at home."
"Then the husband and wife have no offspring?"
"What are you afraid of? If there is a need, these genius doctors will naturally conceive a man."
"..."
"Boys and girls deserve to be dipped in pig cages."
The more Tao Shanze listened, the more angry he became, wishing to realize that this was the scene of more than 30 years, that is, before the mansion was filled with cement, and these people were obviously out of their wits, recreating the scene of that year, recreating what kind of rumors and rumors they had back then. Brain full of fat.
But seeing the county magistrate approaching, Tao Shanze was stiff all over. The county magistrate was exactly the same as 30 years later. Whether it was the posture of sitting on the sedan chair or the movement of yawning, it showed that he was alone, because he only had one soul.
The sedan chair slowly descended, "What's going on? Who reported to the official?"
"My lord, I'm the official of the villain newspaper," a man with sly eyebrows came over and kowtowed, "The villain wants to sue this family for adultery and disturb the atmosphere. It is really a treasonous act."
"Is there any evidence?"
"Returning to my lord, of course there is. The child born by this woman is the evidence. How can it be possible to give birth when the husband is not at home for three months? There must be something strange in it. Although I don't know who the adulterer is, it is clear at a glance."
"Okay, smash the door and go in." The county magistrate ordered, and the attendants immediately smashed the lock and walked in.
A man in the yard saw them coming in to drink, but it was useless. The crowd came in, and everyone had a righteous face, smashing everything they saw to pieces.
"The child you gave birth to should be handed over to the government, and the government should hand him over to the temple, so as to get rid of the identity of the evil species."
"Nonsense! This is my wife's child, how can I hand it over to others!" The people around came in to restrain him, not letting him move around. Seeing that the group of people were about to enter the delivery room of the lady, they simply ignored it and continued to shout. , "This is my wife's child. I sneaked back from the army before September, so outsiders can't know."
"Oh? He's a deserter," the county magistrate grinned grimly. "Deserters have ways to deal with deserters, and villains have ways to deal with villains. You confess your blood to him. If it's really your child, you go with the house. Your family There is no escape from the blame, but the child can survive, if not, you are not only a deserter, your wife is also a disgrace to the neighbors, and the whole family will have to pay the price!"
"Why! Which law is this!"
But no matter what the man said, no one looked at him, and someone brought the child. The child was not born for a long time, and the umbilical cord was not cut. The woman who had just given birth crawled out of the cage. There was blood all over the place, and a weak cry, " Child, give me back my child!"
The child's finger and the man's finger were pierced, but the blood did not mix.
The man yelled: "It's my child, there's nothing wrong with it! My wife and I are deeply in love with each other, so don't you want to get in the way!"
The county magistrate slapped him, somehow, with such force that he slapped off a piece of skin that was still covered with flesh and blood.
And Tao Shanze saw that the county magistrate was not a human being at this time. He was covered with a layer of black energy, and he saw the crazily clamoring in his heart, and he had a sick desire for the infant child, wanting to devour it. The appetite of the stomach.
"Okay, there's nothing to say, take it away!"
The guard got excited and grabbed the woman who had just given birth. How could the woman have the strength to struggle, and the guard threw his hand on the stone pillar next to him, blood was overflowing all over the place, he couldn't breathe, and some people went up to punch and kick the man , the man was bleeding and tearing, and then he was slaughtered. What was even worse was the baby in the swaddle, who was crying non-stop, but was held in his arms rudely.
Suddenly, the baby let out a cry that was not human!
The next moment, Tao Shanze clearly saw that the blood and water fused together under their pushing and shoving, turning into a huge blood granule. Then, the blood granule was like a germinated seed, and a huge tentacle stretched out from it, and the tentacles began Forked, coiled, and sharp blades grew, tearing the skin of the guards, digging out pieces of flesh from them like Ling Chi, the child smiled, the corners of his mouth almost reaching the width of his ears, and let out a silver bell-like laugh.
Then, the tentacles all grabbed the county magistrate, and no one was spared wherever they passed, all turned into blood or flesh on his tentacles.
The situation turned around, "Run!" The people around ran out as if fleeing for their lives. At this time, Tao Shanze saw the Taoist priest standing at the door. The cement slurry swept in, buried all the tentacles, and the entire mansion was filled into giant bricks.
And a stone wall was covered with yellow charms, which fluttered in the wind and fell, and 30 years later, they were never seen again.
Tao Shanze thought for a moment, and realized that he was tied hands and feet, and he was still in the yard of Mrs. Wang's house, while Wang Erxiao beside him let out a piercing and treacherous laugh like a copper bell. The evil ghost, he opened his bloody mouth, "Kill you!
As soon as the voice fell, countless tentacles climbed up from the ground, sweeping over everyone present just like 30 years ago, and the skin of the person who shouted the most was brittle.
"What are you afraid of?" Mrs. Chen pulled her coat and put it on, her eyes were half-closed, and she slowly crawled out of the quilt as if she hadn't woken up, and put on her shoes very naturally, "It's just birds and beasts. Going to the county magistrate's office now can't be said to catch up with the on-site investigation."
"Are you better? Are you still hot?" He probed Tao Shanze's forehead, thinking that there was nothing to do and continued to put on his clothes.
Tao Shanze looked at him without sadness or joy, and there was no excessive fright on that face. He was at a loss for words, hesitated for a moment and said: "All their hearts have been dug out, and the corpse that Erlang said yesterday was also , the human heart also disappeared, could it be that thing came to us yesterday?"
If it is a normal person, the first reaction when seeing the current situation is to be frightened, and maybe they will find someone to do it. This room will never set foot in the future, but the person in front of him is obviously not an ordinary person, the kind who used to be very familiar with Chi Mei. The feeling came back again, like a person sitting high on the altar, he looked at all the people, whether he lowered his head to see all living beings, and then smiled, without sadness or joy, and continued wandering meaninglessly.
"It should be, but both of us are intact, so there should be some restrictions," Chen said, almost ignoring the blood on the ground. Said to Tao Shanze: "I know what you are afraid of, find someone to clean up, and then find someone to do it."
"Then do you dare to stay here tonight?"
"Why don't you dare? Since there was nothing wrong last night, there should be nothing wrong tonight."
Mrs. Chen turned her head and waved her hands leisurely, "Let's go, I'm even more hungry after seeing those corpses."
Tao Shanze glanced at the bowl that was left untied last night, and there was a layer of brown blood clots floating on it, "..."
A group of people gathered in front of the county magistrate's mansion, some of them were watching the excitement, while others were haggard, in a mess, and even had blood on their bodies. The screams of children were endless, and most of them were unconscious and couldn't hear what they said. Qing Qing, still struggling to rush into the county magistrate's mansion, was swung down by the guard with a stick, and there was a glaring scar on his body, so no one went up again.
But the drum in front of the door suffers. The red skin of the drum is knocked by one person and the next. The only thing that is fragile is a thin film.
As soon as Tao Shanze and Mrs. Chen walked over, they heard the onlookers say, "So many people disappeared in one night, and some people died tragically at home. The doors and windows are all locked. I don't know how that villain got in?"
"You still think it was made by humans? Amitabha, if it was really made by humans, it's okay. I'm afraid it's something dirty. Now our Yanzhou is not peaceful. The sky is abnormally rainy all night, and the fog is thick. Maybe it's That man is back for revenge."
The person next to him patted him, "What about revenge, don't talk nonsense!"
Another strong man said, "Not only that, I heard that the son of Master Zhang's family was found at the end of the alley. There was a big hole in his body, piercing his chest. He was in a terrible state. His heart was gouged out. I went to arrest him quickly. know what's going on..."
"Hey, I really have to go to the Qingdi Temple to worship and show my spirit to the Lord Cangdi. I can't have so many disasters and disasters."
Tao Shanze and Chen Shi were at the end of the crowd before, and now they looked at each other, "Should we go in now or go to see the son of Master Zhang's family they mentioned?"
"There are so many people writing pleading papers this morning. I guess the county magistrate is too busy to touch the ground. Erlang's being locked up in jail also means that he did not do it. It will be a matter of time before he is released, but the youth they said The emperor's temple is very interesting, and his son Zhenxing lives in the east and takes the green dragon, so it's good to go to worship." Chen said.
Tao Shanze was noncommittal, "Have you heard what they just said about revenge, what do you think it is?"
"It may be that there was some unjust case in the county magistrate's office before, and the county master didn't judge well. Once people die in red clothes, the people will automatically understand it as revenge. This is understandable, but I think it is largely your fault." Chi Mei did it."
"He's just wearing Chi Mei's skin."
"Well, I didn't say anything about him." Chen sneered.
It had just rained last night, and the road was muddy. The two asked questions all the way, and after climbing several steps, they finally saw the red arched door.
The eaves of Qingdi Temple are flying, and there are three big characters inscribed - Qingdi Palace.
But when I got closer, I found that the red paint on it had already peeled off, and weeds grew in the gaps, but the temple was full of incense, so it should be just a lack of care.
A passer-by said: "The Taoist priest of Qingdi Temple is really spiritual. He hung this spell last night, and nothing came over."
In the distance, there was a bearded Taoist sitting on a mahogany chair with a wooden sword in his hand. His face was cold and thin, his cheekbones were protruding, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he stroked his beard from time to time. There was a long queue in front of him, far from the front of the county magistrate's mansion. Tao Shanze and Chen Shi stood in the shade under the tree, watching the Taoist priest carefully.
"What did you see?" Chen asked.
"It's nothing. Taoist priests seem to be good at Taoism, otherwise they won't be able to gain prestige among the crowd. It's just that this temple is bigger than I imagined, and I don't know how many small buildings there are behind it. Go and have a look later." Tao Shanze said .
"I think he's just a magic stick. I somehow think that if he does, I might do it too."
"Then you can really think about it and see if you have missed anything. Do your memories really belong to you? Is there a moment when you feel that you have another person's memory."
Tao Shanze said sternly, he looked up at Chen Shi, a light suddenly appeared from the sky, and fell softly on his shoulders, he couldn't see his expression clearly against the light, but he found a trace of familiarity in it.
Standing at the gate of the school, Chu Kui tightly clutched the book Song Tao gave him last time, stretching his neck and looking at the road in the distance. There were cars passing by on the road, and parents led their children into it. , but he did not see Song Tao's shadow.
"I'll just say he's lying. He doesn't have a brother who is as handsome as Bai Long. He lied to us!" A little boy next to him was talking to another child, and after speaking, he stuck out his tongue and made a grimace at him. .
And the little fat boy said, "He's a liar!"
"I didn't lie!" Chu Qian said confidently.
"The parents' meeting will be held in 10 minutes, and then you can see if you have lied."
Seeing that the door was about to close, but he didn't see Song Tao's figure, his eyes overflowed with steam, "I clearly agreed, and he promised me..."
His voice became lower and lower, and he completely lost the confidence just now, and his vision of the road ahead became blurred, and he wiped his eyes with his hands without disappointment.
When we arrived in the classroom, there was already a lot of voices. The children saw that their parents were so happy that they chattered non-stop. When they were sitting in the back, they saw the little boy in the front row sitting in the arms of their parents, turning their heads towards him. Roll your eyes.
The teacher walked into the classroom, and when he was about to start speaking, the door suddenly opened, and the sunlight in the corridor flickered, everyone squinted their eyes, first saw the black silhouette, and after the eyes adjusted to the light, they saw a handsome man in a Chinese tunic suit walking in , with bright eyes, handsome facial features, and an indescribable cold temperament. If everyone here is mortal, then there must be a place that is not stained by dust. The scenery that belongs to the world.
"Sorry sir, something was delayed."
The teacher stared at him blankly, forgetting what to say for a while.
The visitor went straight to Chu Wei, and instead of sitting down immediately, squatted down and looked at Chu Wei who was sitting on the small chair as usual, "I'm sorry, I'm late, I won't do it next time."
Chu Wei sobbed aggrievedly, Song Tao hugged him in his arms, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and gently covered his eyes, "Don't cry, eh? Don't cry for a man, it will damage your eyes." .”
Chu Qian took off the handkerchief, murmured softly and stayed in his arms obediently, and said in a childish voice, "I didn't cry."
"Well, it's my fault." Song Tao smiled, and the parents sitting beside him couldn't help staring at his face for a long time.
Originally, the teacher held the parent-teacher meeting to say that the child Chu Wei is a bit out of gregarious, and he usually doesn’t play with the children, but now he can’t say a word. Facing such parents, I just want to say some praises and tell him to be good. Healing, all the little friends are very friendly to him.
However, it was the best parent-teacher meeting that Chu Qiang had ever held since he was in school. All the children sat on the laps of their parents, and only he had his brother’s chest to rely on. With envious eyes, this feeling is not to mention how great it is.
On the way back, for the first time, Chu Qian pointed to the small cake in the dessert shop and said that he wanted mousse.
"Aren't you angry?" Song Tao knelt down and flicked the tip of his nose.
"I'm not angry. Just now Xiaopang told me I'm sorry. I'm not lying. I really have a brother like Bailong." Chu Wei pinched his waist and smiled stupidly. When the wind blew his hat rolled away. When he came down, if he was in front of people before, he would immediately go up to pick it up and put it on, but now he doesn't hold back at all, letting his silver hair flutter in the wind generously.
"Who is Bailong?" Song Tao led him in, ordered a small cake, and carefully fed a piece to him.
"It's a man in a cartoon, very handsome, he can sit on his back, and take Xiaoqian to roam freely in the sky." Chu Wei sat contentedly in the dessert shop, his calves couldn't reach the ground, leisurely Shaking, swaying, eating the cake in small bites, still slurring his speech.
"Okay, I will be your mount from now on, okay?" Song Tao said with a smile.
"No, you are my elder brother, not a mount," Chu Wei said seriously, "Why are you late today?"
Song Tao took out a child's palm-sized mask from the pocket of his Chinese tunic suit. On it was a small Song Tao's face. Although it was small, his facial features were three-dimensional and lifelike. for you."
"Why did you give me this, he's not really you."
"Won't you feel good when you see someone who looks the same as me? If this mask is enlarged and worn on someone else's face, will you admit it?"
"Of course not!" Chu Wei scooped up a large piece of cake angrily, "I don't judge you by your appearance."
"You won't say you rely on your heart?"
"How come, I rely on the smell. The mask only changes the appearance, but the smell on the body will not change. Brother, you will always have the smell of mountain leaves on your body. It's like rain mixed with soil. The only person I like is your smell." Chu Qian said earnestly, blinking his eyes.
"Then what if you lose all five senses and can only see this face?"
"If that's the case, I won't recognize anyone. Waiting for my five senses to recover, the real you will come to me."
***
Now there is a woman, when this woman is in line, the woman knelt on her knees, and the accompanying bags were scattered, filled with white money. Son, I haven't been back for two days. He has disappeared since he went out to play with the kid next door. No matter how I search, I can't find it. There are so many strange things that eat people's hearts, and I don't know what happened to him. What crime did you do!"
Tao Shanze ran over quickly, "Wait, you said the next door is Mrs. Wang's house?"
"How do you know?" The woman should have washed her face with tears for a long time, her eyes were red and she stood up suddenly, making a gesture to grab Tao Shanze's collar, but was stopped by Mrs. Chen who came running after her, "Speak up if you have something to say."
"You didn't go to Mrs. Wang's house to look for it. Now Mrs. Wang is in the hospital and Wang Erxiao is at home. I saw three people in their house last night..."
Chen stopped suddenly when she said this, and the Taoist priest who had been sitting on the chair stood up at this time. The woman said, "Of course I went, but the door of his house was locked, and there was no sign of our child outside, but I heard the voice of a man talking. I don't know if he is doing something shady."
Tao Shanze clearly remembered seeing the shadows of two children in their home last night, and Mrs. Chen was also there. The two of them would never admit their mistakes, "Mrs. Wang is home? Isn't she a widow?"
The woman snorted coldly and stopped crying. Just as she was about to speak, someone echoed: "Who doesn't this woman steal a man at home, even if there are four or five people, it's normal."
"I heard it wasn't her husband who came back this morning?"
"Let me tell you, Mrs. Wang usually looks like a good wife and mother with her children at home. Who knows what's going on behind the scenes. His son was found by evil spirits because of her misconduct."
"You can't judge by appearance, but you have to watch your wife carefully, don't be seduced by her."
The woman's eyes were bright, and she wiped away her tears, as if she had turned on a switch, "Her husband just left home many years ago, but now he is back. In Yanzhou City, he came back to eat the rotten weeds of turning back."
Some people disappeared one after another, and people who have been away from home for many years come back at this time. It is not uncommon, but Tao Shanze feels cold. No matter what, Mrs. Wang is a widowed mother. It was so embarrassing to say in public.
Tao Shanze glanced at Chen, but found that he was looking at the temple behind the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest with an inscrutable face finally said, "Ma'am, there is a cloud of blackness on your face, which is an ominous sign," he suddenly raised his head With a voice, "It's not just her, everyone present has more or less on the surface. It seems that Yanzhou City is a catastrophe."
Everyone chattered non-stop, Tao Shanze touched his forehead, but felt that his forehead was slightly cold, and then looked at Mrs. Chen.
But in everyone's mouth, the target of public criticism has become Mrs. Wang's family. Feeling smoky.
A group of people came to the yard of Mrs. Wang's house. It was just a dilapidated thatched house. After the heavy rain washed away, a hole was broken in the roof, and now the rain was still pouring in. From a long distance, they saw the husband who came back standing on the roof mending the thatch. Mrs. Wang stood below and handed it to her husband. In the yard, Wang Erxiao squatted on the ground in coarse linen clothes to fight crickets.
A family of three enjoyed themselves happily.
Mrs. Wang looked vigilant when she saw a group of people coming in, especially the Taoist priests from Qingdi Temple, "We don't need to do anything here, please go out."
A villager shouted loudly: "Mrs. Wang, yesterday you said that you saw the cannibal corpses of your son and neighbor's children and Tao Shanze's second brother behind a wall. You don't need to do anything now? Are you afraid yesterday? It’s amazing, it doesn’t matter if your husband comes back now? Could it be that you have a ghost in your heart, so you dare not see people!”
The villagers all looked at Mrs. Wang.
Especially the woman in the neighbor's house. The woman stared at her, wanting to dig a hole out of her. She seemed to be tearing her up, but she was held back by the people around her, and she spat, "Where is my son! Why? Only your son is back, and mine!"
"How do I know where your son is? I just came back this morning. Besides, didn't you come to see me this morning? There is no child here, and I won't let you come here to disturb our life today." Mrs. Wang shouted , At the same time, he blocked the gate of the courtyard tightly, and called his husband's name, "Sixth son, come down quickly, if you can't do it, report to the official, and see if there is any king's law in this world."
"You don't need to report to the official, it's really a thief calling for a thief! I reported to the official before I came!" A sharp voice shouted coldly.
Mrs. Wang said nothing to let the group of them go in. This battle made the neighbors in the vicinity come to watch the excitement, and there were different opinions for a while.
Seeing that the situation could not turn around quickly, Mrs. Chen said calmly: "Mrs. Wang, now that your neighbor's child is gone, this lady is very anxious. Let her in and take a look. If you don't let her in today, you will Can't tell."
The man who was called Six Sons finally came down from the roof, "What's the matter, what's the matter, what are you doing this morning!"
Everyone gasped, his face was ferocious, with a scar running across his left cheek to his right cheek, with a fierce look, and one leg was lame, he limped over, "Go back if you have nothing to do, don't Disturbing Lao Tzu's life, I don't usually see you being courteous, but now that I'm back, why do I still want to find fault?"
But before he finished speaking, he saw the Taoist priest take out a yellow talisman from his bosom, muttering something in his mouth, the talisman flashed golden light, and flew to Liu Zi's forehead, but Liu Zi didn't feel anything, so he tore it off , "What are these things, don't get your Taoist things on me."
Everyone looked at each other, but Mrs. Chen stood in front of Tao Shanze first, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, he has evil spirits on him, ordinary spells can't help him."
"Stand back, big guy, this man is not human! He is a demon who eats people's hearts!" The Taoist shouted and sprinkled a handful of rice grains, and the people around all backed away in horror. People who had been away from home for many years are now lame after returning home. Even when she was in trouble, she even went to the roof to repair thatch. The wife who was afraid at first changed her appearance and refused to let anyone approach her.
But at this time, excitement is more than panic. I don't know who reported it to the officer. The county magistrate who had been yawning last night also arrived. As soon as the sedan chair fell off, the master helped him down, and the arresters with him came inside and outside. The yard was surrounded outside, and even the flies had no chance of escaping. Unknowingly, there were pots of dog blood and donkey hooves piled up in a basket full, emitting a foul smell constantly.
It was a stormy night, and Tao Shanze saw an evil ghost in the room with a human skin painted on it. His bruised fingers were pinching a pen to carefully whitewash the already damaged human skin. He had a green face and fangs, and he could only survive in the world by relying on human skin. Is it a new skin now?Hateful looking because you don't have time to draw?The scars after painting the skin have not disappeared?But why choose here, Mrs. Wang's house is the source of everything and everyone is the target of criticism. Not only are they staring at it, but the neighbors around will definitely come over.
Tao Shanze took the opportunity to sneak in, everyone's eyes were on the two adults, no one noticed Wang Erxiao who had been playing with crickets in the corner, now he stood up with a frightened face, the child's face was pale, wanting to He ran into the house, but was grabbed by the collar by Tao Shanze. He was only five or six years old and could lift it up with almost no effort, "Where are you going?"
"I want you to take care of it!" the child said inarticulately.
"Tell me, when did your parents come back?" Tao Shanze grabbed his clothes to prevent him from escaping.
The little boy struggled for a while and simply accepted his fate and said, "My parents came back this morning."
"Then who was with you last night?" Tao Shanze's eyebrows twitched, his scalp tingling.
"I can't remember! Let me go!" the child yelled frantically, trying to bite Tao Shanze's elbow.
Here, Mrs. Wang finally saw Wang Erxiao, and ran over like crazy. The woman was so powerful that she pushed Tao Shanze away. The woman screamed and shouted: "Don't touch my son! Bring the Taoist here indiscriminately." Looking for us, and now you are saying that the baby's father is a monster, I think you are the monster!"
She protected the child behind her, but all the villagers believed the Taoist priest. First, one person stepped forward and grabbed Liu Zi with his backhand. Some kicked, and slapped and kicked the man in a circle. The man's ferocious face was covered with gravel, and blood was even worn out, and his body was in a state of embarrassment.
Mrs. Wang didn't have the strength to shout anymore. A man came over and tied her up so that she couldn't move. The scene was very chaotic. Wang Erxiao screamed all over in fright. Regardless of whether anyone was lost in the family, these villagers have lost their minds now, with a Taoist expression. Serenely, Tao Shanze carefully sprinkled the dog blood prepared by the county magistrate's house all over the courtyard. Tao Shanze realized that something was wrong, but no matter what Tao Shanze yelled, they didn't listen to them. They cursed and beat him one after another. The man gave up struggling and closed his eyes , no breathing.
A living life was turned into nothingness by their punches and kicks, and turned into mud like loess.
Mrs. Wang rushed over, screaming desperately, struggling to push away the crowd that was pressing down on her husband, her eyes were red, tears were streaming down, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't breathe, "You! It's you! I killed him in the same way more than 30 years ago. One person! Gossip! Follow the crowd! With your inexplicable sense of justice, you are complacent about standing on the side you think is right."
"Wait," the Taoist didn't care what Mrs. Wang said, just stepped forward, took out a talisman and stuck it on Liu Zi's forehead. Under the watchful eyes, the blood-red meat separated and fell to the ground, and there were countless tiny bugs crawling inside, "Is this what you call innocent? Your husband is a demon, and now I have taken it away, so there is no need to quibble."
As soon as he finished speaking, those villagers punched the dead Liuzi again, and some people spat on him.
"My husband just came back, and you killed him. You are a Taoist priest, but you are just doing some tricks to cover up your crimes!" Mrs. Wang burst into tears, and hugged Wang Erxiao who kept crying.
"Everyone listen to me," the Taoist priest wiped the dog blood from his hands, the crowd suddenly fell silent, only the cries of women and children resounded through the sky, "Now this house is covered with evil spirits, and it can only be done by burning it. , the souls of those who have been dug out by the six sons can rest in peace, and the next reincarnation will not be thrown into the Ten Cold Hell."
As soon as the words fell, the crowd shouted: "Burn! Burn!"
Someone took firewood and ran wildly into the yard, and Mrs. Wang and the little boy were also tied to wooden chairs and couldn't move.
Tao Shanze on the side rushed in, and now the situation is like a cult, but he is firmly held down by the crowd, each of them has black and white eyeballs, and each of them is a fresh life, but they are clearly distinct, now Whoever is helping the mother and son is their common enemy.
"What the hell are you talking about, they are humans! Can't you see it!" Tao Shanze yelled crazily, but the pendant on his body can resist ghosts, but it can't stop human beings. Humans are more terrifying than ghosts , what is more terrifying than people is the human heart.
"It's you!" Tao Shanze was clasped tightly by the crowd, he looked at the Taoist priest, "You villain! Wouldn't you be frightened sitting under the statue!"
But the Taoist didn't look at him at all, but talked to the county magistrate at the side. The master next to him took the pleading paper and asked him to pass it over. The six sons pressed without using Indonesia, and the blood on his body that was beaten by everyone has already printed a complete shape.
"You are the parent officer, so you just close the case?" Tao Shanze looked at everyone in disbelief, and thought he was in hell for a moment. What he found weird was that everyone thought the county magistrate was right, and everyone praised the county magistrate. Well done by Ling | The Taoist is right, he has no objection to burning the mother and son with the thatched cottage.
"You speak for those two evil spirits, are you also a demon?" Someone in the crowd shouted.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and someone immediately pulled Tao Shanze to the Taoist priest, "Is he a demon?"
The Taoist stroked his beard, "I can't tell, it's just that the scar on his neck healed too quickly. There was only a scorched palm print yesterday, and it disappeared today?"
"Yes, it was clear when I reported to the official last night."
"I was there, I saw it, how could a mortal recover immediately!"
"Unless he is also a demon!"
"Burn him, no wonder he complained about the mother and son, it turns out he is also a demon!"
In the conversation between you and me, Tao Shanze looked at everyone in horror. He had a fever last night and went out in a hurry in the morning. He didn't pay attention to his scars, but he became the basis for their judgment.
Now Tao Shanze and the mother and child are tied up in the middle of the yard. They are surrounded by straw, and the grass on the thatched house was also ripped off by the villagers as fuel for the combustion. The rapeseed oil Mrs. Wang was reluctant to use in the house was They sprinkled the straw recklessly, everyone's eyes were fiery, and everyone had a treacherous sense of justice.
Tao Shanze looked at the crowd and saw pairs of crazy eyes, but he didn't see Mrs. Chen alone. Is the person he thought was Chi Mei really Chi Mei?
If he wasn't Chi Mei, but also a ghost with a phantom, was he always by his side waiting for such an ending?With everyone's hand, let him see the truth of this Liaozhai world, where is the real Chi Mei?
Everything was ready, and at the moment when the lit torch was about to touch the firewood, the thick fog stopped suddenly, and the water vapor extinguished the flames. Everyone couldn't see the way ahead, as if they were in a white and single space.
Some people in the crowd screamed "God's Wrath", some said it was the catastrophe of Yanzhou City, and some urged the place to be burned quickly, because the evil spirits are about to cause trouble.
But the torch couldn't be ignited anyway, it seemed that it could only be done when the fog cleared.
Wang Erxiao, who had been crying all the time, suddenly stopped, and suddenly let out a piercing scream, and then Tao Shanze became dizzy for a while, and opened his eyes again, but he was standing in a mansion, surrounded by a group of people in front of the door, Tao Shanze took a closer look Heh, aren't these people the ones who threatened to burn them to death just now?
No, he immediately realized that everyone at the door now has two souls, one of which is their master personality, and the other is the group of people who set fire, but their personalities are all fused together strangely, without distinction between you and me .
The sun was shining at this time, they stood at the door of the mansion and pointed, they didn't know what they were doing, as if they were being raped, "This family is really a sinner, this man has just been back for three months Who would believe that a woman gave birth."
"It's still a big fat boy, I don't know which family's evil seed it is."
"Let me tell you, this woman thinks she's pretty, and goes around to seduce other men."
"..."
Tao Shanze wanted to stop a passer-by to ask about the situation, but then he looked at the surrounding scenery and realized that it was in the alley where he and Mrs. Chen came for the first time. At the end of the alley, there should have been a stone wall blocking it. Sure enough, there was a mansion there, with two small stone lions at the door and two red lanterns hanging high, but at this time it was full of people.
"Let me just say, it's better to marry a male wife. A male wife can go to war without getting pregnant. It's inevitable that a wife can't do anything out of the ordinary when she stays at home."
"Then the husband and wife have no offspring?"
"What are you afraid of? If there is a need, these genius doctors will naturally conceive a man."
"..."
"Boys and girls deserve to be dipped in pig cages."
The more Tao Shanze listened, the more angry he became, wishing to realize that this was the scene of more than 30 years, that is, before the mansion was filled with cement, and these people were obviously out of their wits, recreating the scene of that year, recreating what kind of rumors and rumors they had back then. Brain full of fat.
But seeing the county magistrate approaching, Tao Shanze was stiff all over. The county magistrate was exactly the same as 30 years later. Whether it was the posture of sitting on the sedan chair or the movement of yawning, it showed that he was alone, because he only had one soul.
The sedan chair slowly descended, "What's going on? Who reported to the official?"
"My lord, I'm the official of the villain newspaper," a man with sly eyebrows came over and kowtowed, "The villain wants to sue this family for adultery and disturb the atmosphere. It is really a treasonous act."
"Is there any evidence?"
"Returning to my lord, of course there is. The child born by this woman is the evidence. How can it be possible to give birth when the husband is not at home for three months? There must be something strange in it. Although I don't know who the adulterer is, it is clear at a glance."
"Okay, smash the door and go in." The county magistrate ordered, and the attendants immediately smashed the lock and walked in.
A man in the yard saw them coming in to drink, but it was useless. The crowd came in, and everyone had a righteous face, smashing everything they saw to pieces.
"The child you gave birth to should be handed over to the government, and the government should hand him over to the temple, so as to get rid of the identity of the evil species."
"Nonsense! This is my wife's child, how can I hand it over to others!" The people around came in to restrain him, not letting him move around. Seeing that the group of people were about to enter the delivery room of the lady, they simply ignored it and continued to shout. , "This is my wife's child. I sneaked back from the army before September, so outsiders can't know."
"Oh? He's a deserter," the county magistrate grinned grimly. "Deserters have ways to deal with deserters, and villains have ways to deal with villains. You confess your blood to him. If it's really your child, you go with the house. Your family There is no escape from the blame, but the child can survive, if not, you are not only a deserter, your wife is also a disgrace to the neighbors, and the whole family will have to pay the price!"
"Why! Which law is this!"
But no matter what the man said, no one looked at him, and someone brought the child. The child was not born for a long time, and the umbilical cord was not cut. The woman who had just given birth crawled out of the cage. There was blood all over the place, and a weak cry, " Child, give me back my child!"
The child's finger and the man's finger were pierced, but the blood did not mix.
The man yelled: "It's my child, there's nothing wrong with it! My wife and I are deeply in love with each other, so don't you want to get in the way!"
The county magistrate slapped him, somehow, with such force that he slapped off a piece of skin that was still covered with flesh and blood.
And Tao Shanze saw that the county magistrate was not a human being at this time. He was covered with a layer of black energy, and he saw the crazily clamoring in his heart, and he had a sick desire for the infant child, wanting to devour it. The appetite of the stomach.
"Okay, there's nothing to say, take it away!"
The guard got excited and grabbed the woman who had just given birth. How could the woman have the strength to struggle, and the guard threw his hand on the stone pillar next to him, blood was overflowing all over the place, he couldn't breathe, and some people went up to punch and kick the man , the man was bleeding and tearing, and then he was slaughtered. What was even worse was the baby in the swaddle, who was crying non-stop, but was held in his arms rudely.
Suddenly, the baby let out a cry that was not human!
The next moment, Tao Shanze clearly saw that the blood and water fused together under their pushing and shoving, turning into a huge blood granule. Then, the blood granule was like a germinated seed, and a huge tentacle stretched out from it, and the tentacles began Forked, coiled, and sharp blades grew, tearing the skin of the guards, digging out pieces of flesh from them like Ling Chi, the child smiled, the corners of his mouth almost reaching the width of his ears, and let out a silver bell-like laugh.
Then, the tentacles all grabbed the county magistrate, and no one was spared wherever they passed, all turned into blood or flesh on his tentacles.
The situation turned around, "Run!" The people around ran out as if fleeing for their lives. At this time, Tao Shanze saw the Taoist priest standing at the door. The cement slurry swept in, buried all the tentacles, and the entire mansion was filled into giant bricks.
And a stone wall was covered with yellow charms, which fluttered in the wind and fell, and 30 years later, they were never seen again.
Tao Shanze thought for a moment, and realized that he was tied hands and feet, and he was still in the yard of Mrs. Wang's house, while Wang Erxiao beside him let out a piercing and treacherous laugh like a copper bell. The evil ghost, he opened his bloody mouth, "Kill you!
As soon as the voice fell, countless tentacles climbed up from the ground, sweeping over everyone present just like 30 years ago, and the skin of the person who shouted the most was brittle.
