"What is this sound?!"
The soldiers were fighting with each other, their faces were pale, they were quite tall men, their voices were filled with tears, and their spirits were on the verge of collapse.
"Are you scared? You can do so much when you are facing a living person, can you be a little more manly at this time?"
I impatiently kicked him on the butt. I was already nervous enough, but his howling made it even worse. A layer of cold sweat broke out on my body, but I subconsciously clenched the Nine Dragon Sword.
The nine states of the divine dragon imprinted on the sword have dimmed, as if it will only light up when watered with blood or when something like that is killed, and then it will return to normal. The sword body is clear and rustling, and its light is like water. Stroking it calms my uneasy mind.
With this sword, I can hurt Mr. Chen. Although there is a certain amount of luck involved, I should be able to fight against other things.
Immediately, I held up three feet of Qingfeng and approached the ancient house step by step.
Kejigeji...
The sound of the sewing machine is getting louder and faster.
A childish voice suddenly came from the ancient house. The laughter was like a silver bell, but it was chanting an extremely weird nursery rhyme.
"The little white rabbit is white and white. It lifts up its ears and cuts the arteries and veins. It is motionless and so cute.
The little bullfrog has a white belly. A needle is inserted into the frog to destroy the brain and it is hung up. Hydrochloric acid is applied to the belly. It crawls and crawls so cutely.
The little white mouse, white and white, is locked in a cage, and its tail is hung up to give electric shocks. It is sad and depressed, so cute.
The little pigeon is white and white. The left and right **** are pinched, and the chest and abdominal cavity are cut open. It is so cute that it is dripping with blood.
……”
Then, another old voice suddenly said: "Baby, be good, go and play, don't disturb grandma. Grandma helped you take apart your father's human skin to make clothes. If you put on the clothes, you won't feel cold..."
……
"Xiaojiu..."
The soldier tugged at my clothes and said, "Did you hear that? It's definitely a ghost. We'd better not go in. If we can't save it, we'll have to use the skin to make clothes."
"You can hide from the first grade of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth grade!"
I gritted my teeth and said: "We are all trapped here. If we don't kill these things, they will come and kill us!"
At this time, I was very timid and fearful. I no longer knew what it meant to be afraid. I ignored the soldiers and quickly approached the old house.
The old house is an old building before liberation. The windows are papered and the window paper is tattered. There is wind in the yard. The wind blows the window paper and the window paper blows up. You can see into the house through the hole. Case.
An octogenarian silver-haired old woman was busy sitting in front of an old sewing machine. On the sewing machine was a piece of **** human skin, which was completely peeled off. The head should be cut off first, and then the skin should be cut open from the abdomen. Just peel it off.
At this time, the human skin was spread out, half of it was on the sewing machine, and the other half was hanging on the ground. The human shape could still be vaguely seen...
Beside the old woman, a child was jumping up and down, repeating the strange and infiltrating nursery rhyme. Under his feet, a man's head was kicked back and forth...
This scene is shocking...
What happened here?
From what the old woman said, we can guess that the human skin on the sewing machine and the human head on the ground should belong to her son, the child's father...
It’s just that I don’t understand. The Zhao family compound has long since declined, and everyone related to this compound has been dead for decades. Why does the man’s body look so fresh? As if he had just been killed!
Or... this man actually broke into this place accidentally and was killed not long ago? The grandfather and grandson seemed to be in a daze. They kept repeating what they had done before their lives, killing men as relatives and making clothes from human skin?
I don't know the answer.
But I know one thing - I don’t want to die, let alone be pulled onto a sewing machine and made into a leather jacket.
After regaining my composure, I tightened my grip on the Nine Dragon Sword, shouted loudly, and jumped up.
Clang!
The dilapidated wooden windows of the old house were smashed into pieces. I broke through the window and entered. When I landed, I was already standing beside the old woman. I raised my Nine Dragon Sword and slashed at the old woman's neck.
Qing Feng broke through the air and made a sharp explosion of energy.
However, the sword failed, as if it was slashing in the air, directly passing through the old woman's body and landing on the sewing machine.
Clang!
The sewing machine was smashed to pieces.
The old woman's body swayed and began to fade. Before she disappeared completely, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at me. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her wrinkled face was squeezed together, revealing an extremely weird smile.
The next moment, she disappeared completely, and the child also disappeared.
I rubbed my eyes hard and looked at the room again. Where was the **** scene? There was only an old sewing machine left, with a piece of dry human skin hanging on it, and a skull on the ground.
This should be an item belonging to the male owner of the old house. After decades, it is normal for it to look like this!
The house was empty and filled with the smell of decay. The old woman, the child... seemed to have never appeared.
Is it an illusion?
Probably not. Everything here is so real. How could it be an illusion?
So, was the scene just now a replay of what happened here decades ago? Like... showing a movie?
I have heard of such things. It is said that in some ancient battlefield ruins, you can hear the war cries and screams of the past in certain weather. In fact, it is not that ghosts and gods are causing trouble, but that the surrounding environment inadvertently records what happened. It's just something that happened in the past.
The same is true here. Perhaps an object recorded the past scene and reappeared at this time.
But if this is indeed the case, then the old woman and the child should not exist. They are just part of the picture. How can we explain the weird smile that the old woman turned back to me before disappearing?
I just feel like my head is dizzy, and it’s hard to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
Seeing that there was no more weirdness in the house, the soldier boldly walked in, came to my side and asked, "Xiaojiu, what should I do next?"
"Let's rest outside, I'm a little unsure about this place."
I pondered for a moment and said, "We can't go any further into the house. Something is really wrong with this house."
To be on the safe side, I quickly left the old house.
……
After a long night of hard work, both me and the soldiers, as well as Xiaodouzi, are actually very tired and we need to rest.
After discussing with the soldiers, we decided to take turns keeping watch. The soldiers would keep watch during the day, and I would keep watch at night to stall for time.
Ni Huang knew about our actions this time. Unfortunately, after entering the Zhao family compound, the mobile phone signal was completely dead, and I couldn't contact her. Now I can only hope that she will find us when she finds something wrong. This is the only chance for me and the soldier.
After the agreement was reached, I curled up and fell asleep under a peach tree in front of the old house with the Nine Dragon Sword in my arms.
I had been busy working with the soldiers before, so I didn’t realize it, but now that it stopped, I realized that it was extremely cold in the yard!
It’s so cold that I don’t know what to do!
The wind around me was obviously not strong, but the wind was so strong that my clothes couldn't stop it. When I got in, it was like grabbing a handful of ice and covering my skin, making me shiver with the cold.
Soon after I lay down, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I stood up from under the peach tree. I thought I might freeze to death if I continued like this. I had no choice but to look at the old house.
Although the old house is weird and there have been many deaths, it can at least provide shelter from the wind and rain.
After hesitating for a while, Da Bing and I simply got up and entered the house, and took shelter in another room of the old house.
Oddly enough, as soon as I lay down on the kang in the old house, I felt cold immediately. I fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and my stomach was growling with hunger. , but there was nothing to eat, so I had to tighten my belt and endure it. I changed to the soldier's shift, and I came to look after him, but he was sleeping.
The first half of the night was uneventful.
At about three o'clock in the morning, I suddenly felt a pain in my stomach. It seemed that I had caught a cold due to the cold wind. I glanced at the sleeping soldier and thought that nothing strange happened in the middle of the night. It should be okay to go to the toilet, so I got up. out.
I didn’t dare to go far, it was conveniently located next to the old house.
Unexpectedly, I had just squatted down and before I could feel anything, the soldiers in the room suddenly started screaming.
"Xiaojiu! Xiaojiu! Where did you die!! There is a ghost!!!"
