Chapter 38 Hiding
The sound of running water.
Shortly after Xiaoxia decided to ignore the will-o'-the-wisps that followed her and let them go away, she was taken to an open space in the dense forest. Although she didn't see a stream or anything, she The sound of running water was heard.
"Why don't you leave? Do you still have to wait for the summons?" Xiaoxia was a little angry after being frightened, adjusted her waist bag that had been tilted to one side, and asked the black cat angrily.
"If you marry a man here, of course you must follow our customs!"
"Stop playing tricks!"
"No." Black Cat said matter-of-factly, "According to the custom of our tribe, there must be a bride-finding activity the day before the wedding."
"What clan are you from?" Since Xiaoxia knew that the person speaking was not the black cat, but the person controlling it behind the scenes, the 'groom', she simply asked directly.
"What a pity, this wedding was held too hastily!" it said in confusion, "Everything has to be simple and the wedding ceremony that lasted several days can be condensed into one night, otherwise your friend will die!"
"You said, as long as I am the bride, he will not die!"
"Then - let's begin!"
The black cat ignored Xiaoxia's questions at all. After saying what he said, he ran into the dense forest with a 'scratch' and disappeared without a trace. Only Xiaoxia was left in a daze, wondering what happened. What's going on?
Looking for a bride? What ethnic group's wedding custom is this?
"I'll give you five minutes, and you have to hide it as well as possible." The voice that once whispered in Xiaoxia's ear began to speak again, but this time it was not in her ear, but under a tree a little further away. , "In the next hour, the groom and his friends will look for you, but you must not be found! Otherwise, someone will die!"
"Dead person?"
"Yes. Guess who this person will be?"
"How do I know?!" Xiaoxia stared blankly at the place where the sound came from, even though it was just an open space, "But at least tell me what is going on, and let me understand even if you die - Hey, come back, answer my question - come back!"
What answered her was a hand suddenly pushing her back!
Xiaoxia was caught off guard and was pushed so hard that she rushed forward more than ten steps and came into close contact with the ground. When she got up, she realized that the surroundings were silent and she was the only one in the dense forest, or maybe Said everything was hidden.
Xiaoxia understands that these are the ‘hunters’ waiting for the good ‘prey’ to run before they can take action!
These **** really have no grace, they have changed and they have not improved. They treat women like this, especially a woman as beautiful and lovely as she is a 'bride'!
But they said if she was found, someone would die! Whose life do they want? Is she still Wanli? It wouldn't matter if something happened to her, but if something happened to Wan Li, wouldn't all her plans be in vain?
Never, must not be caught!
Looking around, she doesn’t know where to hide? However, according to the characteristics of human beings who like to hide in dark places but like to escape to bright places, she decided to run farther away and find a dense bush.
Her foot injury prevented her from running fast; the time was only five minutes; the surrounding environment was a jungle in the middle of the night, although the moonlight was still very bright; and she didn't know whether those who sent the bride off followed the rules of the game. Are you still hiding in the dark and staring at her?
But even if the situation is so unfavorable, she cannot surrender! She remembered a line in a movie: Why can't hounds catch rabbits? Because rabbits run to escape, while hounds run to make a living!
This is her advantage!
For those things hiding in the shadows, the game of finding a bride is just fun to tease people, but for her, it is related to life and the most precious thing in the world!
So, she can't lose!
Besides, she has other advantages!
Hiding in a hidden bush, Xiaoxia endured the bites of mosquitoes and the fear of snakes and rats. She took out the mobile phone in her pocket and looked at it. Five minutes were up!
In the next hour, she must evade various pursuits and interceptions without being found!
One hour!
She couldn't help but shrink a little tighter. While paying attention to the surrounding situation, she took out a bottle of eye drops from her pocket and put two drops into her eyes. Although she was still afraid, she felt sad in her heart. Sneered for a while.
Do these dead guys who are restless even in death really think that she has not made any preparations? She knew clearly that she was going to break into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den, so of course she wouldn't just come there stupidly, and she would bring a little dowry.
The bottle of eye drops was actually talisman water, which allowed her eyes to see things that she could not normally see. Because the effect did not last long, she filled a small bottle of talisman water as if it were eye drops. There are many treasures on her slender waist and in that nondescript waist bag waiting to greet these 'good friends' attending the wedding!
You want to play, right? Although she, Yue Xiaoxia, is timid and useless, she still wants to accompany him to the end! In order to save Wanli's life, she had already stored up a huge amount of courage, and when needed, she would give it all without reservation.
She is their partner, not a burden!
"Yue Xiaoxia, where are you?" A long and sharp voice sounded from behind Xiaoxia.
Xiao Xia felt nervous, but she didn't say anything or run away. She just quietly took out a small flag from her pocket. The small flag was only one inch in size, with black charms drawn on the red paper. The lower end of the flagpole was sharpened, and she almost hurt her hand when she took it out of the bag.
"The bride is here!" The sharp voice suddenly appeared behind Xiaoxia.
Xiao Xia still didn't move, only feeling something like a snake wrapped around her waist. She knew that although the snake looked wet and sticky, its skin was actually dry and warm, so the inexplicable cold that hit her body must be a 'good brother'.
She felt numb all over, but forced herself to endure it. It wasn't until I heard the voice proudly announcing: I found a bride that I suddenly raised the special flag and stabbed it at my waist.
Before the stabbing, she was still a little worried because the thing holding her behind her was not solid, and she was worried that the sharp flagpole would pass through the ghost and then pierce her. She has always been afraid of pain, but at this critical moment she couldn't care less!
However, after she waved her hand, she realized that the only thing that felt pain was her ears, because the flag was actually stuck on the arm of the unlucky man behind her, making it freeze and unable to move, only in Xiaoxia's ear. Let out a scream!
Then, the flag gradually disappeared!
"You have to protect me! Because this spell is written with my blood mixed with ink, it will take a long time for others except me to remove this flag. In this way, you will see the sun tomorrow!" In order to bluff people, Xiaoxia said nonsense, "If you take the road, I will lift the flag in one hour."
That is a female ghost, very old. Like other ghosts, his face was a terrifying bluish white, looking like a white-painted mask in the moonlight. In addition, her feet did not touch the ground, but the "Dingling Flag" that Xiao Xia named randomly was fixed there and unable to move. She was struggling in a dangling way, which looked very scary!
"I don't believe it." She yelled weakly.
"You can try!" Xiaoxia threatened, without any time to waste, she turned around and jumped into the grass.
She knew that ghosts not only rely on sight and hearing to find people, but also rely on people's smell and heat. It's not that she didn't bring a charm to hide her aura, but she deliberately let a few ghosts find her so that she could pin the flag to them.
She has four flags, as long as a ghost is pinned in each of the four directions of east, west, north and south; as long as they believe her words, they are forced to help her because they are afraid of being exposed to the sun; as long as they are asked by other ghosts about her When the direction comes, pointing randomly will not only win her more space to escape, but also reduce the number of ghosts chasing her.
She resisted the pain in her ankle and got into the grass. After running a few steps, she came face to face with a middle-aged male ghost dressed in Han nationality. Although Xiaoxia was a little scared, she pretended not to see it and ran straight over. The moment he reached him, he felt a chill all over his body, and it passed through him. Afterwards, she fell down, knowing that she was tripped by a ghost, so she just struggled a few times and threw out another flag.
She roughly calculated the distance, then ran in a circle in the grass, followed the same pattern and stopped two more, then ran to the outside of the circle and put the charm that could hide the human aura on her chest!
Despite this, she still couldn't breathe freely. Although she was so tired and frightened that her heart almost exploded, she just rested against a small tree to relieve the burden on her injured leg.
As I saw more and more strange things around me, some were will-o'-the-wisps, some were souls invisible to the naked eye, and they all died in various shapes, I suddenly understood the pain of people with yin and yang eyes. It should be difficult for them to accept these facts and accept two different worlds, right? The fatigue and helplessness in this world are torture enough, but you also have to face the pain and helplessness, sadness and reluctance in another world! For a moment, she suddenly thought of Ruan Zhanlai tenderly, and understood something about his heart that was never accessible to others.
Sometimes, it’s better to know nothing!
At this time, her eyes were blurred. She knew that the effectiveness of the eye drops had decreased, and she quickly took out the eye drops bottle. Just as she was about to drop a little more, she felt something tugging at the corner of her skirt, as if someone was pulling her down.
Looking down, there was nothing! But the right side of the skirt was stretched straight, which proved that there was indeed an external force pulling it, and under the skirt corner, there was nothing but her own pair of white calves!
She was horrified because she was currently using a spell that could hide her breath and traces. What else could see her? Could it be that his magic power is particularly profound?
She stared at the empty ground and saw the hem of her skirt trembled again, as if someone was tugging at her impatiently. Then, a small black shadow appeared for a moment, as if it was deliberately meant to be seen by Xiaoxia, who had lost the ability to see ghosts.
Subconsciously, she put a drop of medicine in her eyes. Looking down again, I saw a five or six-year-old boy standing at her feet looking up at her.
Half of his face was rotten, and the half that was intact showed an innocent but weird smile, which was indescribably sinister and gave people an innocent yet vicious feeling.
"Sister, I found you!"
He clutched Xiaoxia's skirt and continued to look up at her. Because the force of leaning back was too great, after a 'click' sound, the back of the neck bones seemed to be broken, and the whole head turned back!
