I become a god in another world

Chapter 138

After a few rests, nothing strange happened.

Everyone felt relieved.

A woman took a long breath and was about to speak, but at this moment, she only heard a "puff" sound.

The sound was originally not loud, but after nightfall, on the banks of the Shangjia River, when the entire Kuailiang Village was here and everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, the sound was amplified exponentially.

Under the public gaze, many people saw with their own eyes that Mr. Zhuang's hair seemed to move like a chrysalis.

"Ahhhh!!!"

This time it exploded instantly.

"Ghost!"

Someone let out a sharp scream, and many people hurriedly turned around and ran away holding torches.

In the panic, everyone was pushing and stamping, running away like headless flies.

Many people in the back who didn't see Zhuang's hair move didn't know what was going on. Just as they craned their necks to look forward, they heard someone shouting "ghost".

In the dead of night, everyone was carrying out a lynching. Zhuang's death was not glorious, and he seemed to die with his eyes closed.

From the actions of Kuai Laosan and several others who pushed her body into the river and fished it out again, it can be seen that tonight's execution was not very smooth.

Hearing the word "ghost" appears again, it is quite scary for the villagers.

Many people tried to escape by pushing those behind them.

At this time, I no longer care about watching the excitement, nor do I care about my relatives and friends around me.

In an instant, some people who were slower to react were pushed to the ground. Before they could scream, the people running behind them stepped on them.

Everyone was in chaos.

Many even threw away their torches and ran away.

At this moment, Kuai Laosan, who was closest to the corpse, also witnessed the pupa in Zhuang's hair.

When he saw the movement on the dead man's body, he was so frightened that he almost lost control.

Mrs. Zhuang was his sister-in-law, and he had his own reasons for her sister-in-law's death. He was also a little scared when it happened.

But the biggest fear is not meeting ghosts.

The first thing that came to his mind was that after this incident, the villagers might ostracize their family.

Such a big thing happened tonight. If something happened to the villagers, everyone would inevitably blame his family.

It's not unusual for everyone to contribute when watching the excitement, but if the excitement turns into a disaster, the situation will be different.

When he thought of such consequences, Kuai Laosan felt scared from the bottom of his heart.

This fear even outweighed the fear of the ghost, causing him to stand firmly in place, staring at the corpse motionless.

It was because he was staring at the body that he first noticed something was wrong.

Through the surrounding firelight, he noticed that something seemed to be moving in Zhuang's hair.

When Kuai Laosan saw the black figure, his heart moved, and his fear was suppressed temporarily. He stepped forward and opened Zhuang's hair. A palm-long fish with a gray black back and a white belly was caught in the net.

Mrs. Zhuang's hair was fine when she was alive. After her death, her long hair floated wildly. It's possible that fish thought it was water plants and got into her hair, but they were trapped by the dead woman's long hair.

"Don't run away, it's not a ghost, it's a fish, it's a fish!"

Kuai Laosan shouted excitedly: "It's not a ghost, it's a fish that got into Mr. Zhuang's hair. It was the ghost that caused trouble just now. Don't run away."

Uncle Liu panicked and was pushed to the ground. As he was dizzy, he heard someone shouting: "It's not a ghost, it's not a ghost."

The words actually fell into his ears.

After Kuai Laosan shouted a few words, the panicked crowd finally calmed down.

"It's really not a ghost?"

Someone asked doubtfully, and Kuai Laosan was very sure:

"It's really not a ghost."

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and pulled Zhuang's hair, revealing Zhuang's dead face, which was white and blue.

She was quite delicate when she was alive, but she didn't look good after death, especially since she was forcibly drowned to death. She was resentful before her death, and her face had a youthful look that made people feel uncomfortable.

"Forget it's not a ghost. The body should have been disposed of earlier. I want to go home -"

"I want to go home too—"

"Where's Uncle Six? Uncle Six, please come out and seek justice."

Everyone was noisy and gradually lost their composure.

It started to fog near the river.

The fog was heavy, and many people experienced two frights. Their moods were ups and downs, and their bodies and palms were covered with sweat.

When the night wind blows, it quickly takes away the body's temperature.

The people in Kuai Liang Village no longer want to stay by the river.

Everyone began to look for Uncle Liu. In the panic, many people did not care about Uncle Liu's existence. At this time, many people were trampled to the ground. The injured and frightened ones were crying and the scene was out of control.

After a while, someone shouted:

"Uncle Six is ​​here."

Uncle Liu, who fell to the ground, groaned and was helped up. Immediately, some villagers asked him to take charge of the aftermath.

After experiencing the changes tonight, Uncle Liu was not in the mood to play any extra tricks. Just as he was about to speak, Uncle Liu came to him with the child and whispered:

"It's better for the head of the family to let him die in peace."

"I feel a little panicked and my eyelids are twitching. I feel that something big is going to happen. I should bury it earlier."

"Can't bury it!"

Kuai Laowu suddenly shouted loudly.

He had previously been hiding out of sight, and did not dare to come forward when trouble occurred. Now, as soon as Zhuang's death was discussed, he appeared immediately.

"You are not allowed to bury her. This bitch dares to steal someone and bring discredit to our Kuai family. You cannot bury her. How can such a good thing happen?"

Uncle Liu was so angry that he itched her teeth, and she said angrily:

"What's the use of talking about this now? I think something like this will cause trouble——"

Kuai Laowu, who had not dared to go into the water to pull out the corpse before, now seemed extremely stubborn when faced with Liu Shuniang's words. He puffed up his chest and retorted disapprovingly:

"What big thing could happen? A woman's family really turned into a ghost? If she really turned into a ghost, I would have to ask her if she has any shame -"

"you--"

The sixth uncle wanted to scold him, but the sixth uncle was exhausted and shouted:

"Okay, stop arguing."

He wiped his face, sat on the ground and thought for a while:

"Zhuang stole someone, so burying her like this really makes her easier -"

Before he finished speaking, when he saw his old wife was about to speak, he couldn't help but give her a warning look:

"But everyone is really tired after working hard for a long time tonight. Why don't everyone go home and bring some firewood and burn her body."

In this way, regardless of whether Zhuang's death was a disaster or not, it will be over once and for all.

When everyone heard this, they all agreed.

However, there are also women who feel sorry for their own firewood:

"This is obviously the matter of Kuai Laowu's family, why do you want my family to provide firewood again?"

"that is--"

"Forget it, you ladies, stop talking so much and act quickly."

"Huh? It's foggy."

"What's so strange about heavy fog? It's so rare that it's strange -" Everyone said something to each other and went home, without any sense of impending disaster.

Only Liu Shu Niang, a woman's extraordinary sixth sense, made her have a premonition that Mr. Zhuang's death with resentment might bring bad things to Kuai Liang Village. Her eyelids kept twitching, and she took a look and held her in her arms. Grandson, silently thinking in his heart: God bless him.

The villagers soon returned one after another carrying firewood.

With more people and greater strength, a firewood tower was built in a short time. Everything is ready, just throw the body into the firewood tower.

Several strange things happened tonight regarding Zhuang's death, and no one dared to touch Zhuang's body.

But leaving the body lying like this is not an option.

Fear inspired everyone's extraordinary courage. Kuai Laosan, Kuai Pengju, Kuai Baichuan, Kuai Changliu and others worked together to cut open the bamboo cage and drag out Zhuang's body.

It's very strange.

She had just been drowned not long ago, but her body was extremely stiff and her limbs were curled up. Several grown men tried to stretch her body out, but they couldn't.

Everyone tried their best, but what they pulled didn't look like a woman's body, but instead looked like a human-shaped stone.

Before she died, she huddled tightly, crossed her arms across her chest, and bent her long legs, as if she wanted to block her naked body.

"Uncle Six——"

Kuai Laosan was panting from exhaustion and shouted.

"Forget it if you can't pull her away, throw her into the fire and burn her directly."

His words made Kuai Laosan and others feel relieved, and they all worked together to lift Mr. Zhuang's body——

"one two Three--"

The crowd shouted, "Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the body was thrown out with great force and thrown into the pyre with a bang.

"ignition!"

Following Uncle Liu's order, the torches held by many people were thrown into the firewood pile. As the torches were thrown in, the flames ignited when they met the firewood.

In an instant, the flames grew stronger and stronger, and soon engulfed Mr. Zhuang's body.

Everyone felt relieved when they saw this scene.

It seems that along with the fire, all the sins, resentments, and fears will be burned with the fire.

The blazing fire rising into the sky seemed to dispel the oppression caused by the boundless night, and also pushed back the thick fog that had arisen from unknown time around.

The heat waves hit my face along with the flames, driving away the coldness of the night.

"This is just great."

Everyone had this thought in their minds: "Tonight, things come to an end."

But at this moment, everyone clearly heard a thin sound in their ears at the same time.

'Tick. '

There was a crisp sound of water drops falling to the ground.

It was as if there were water drops dripping from a hidden spring in the extremely quiet empty mountain, and the sound was extremely clear.

But this is a riverside, so the sound of water is normal.

The people in Kuai Liang Village didn't take it seriously at first, and they even gathered around the fire to watch.

But gradually, the sound of dripping water became more and more intensive:

'Tick tock, tick tock——'

And gradually rapid.

The flames that were still burning were shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Zhuang's body originally surrounded by flames reappeared in front of everyone.

"W-what's going on?"

Someone was surprised when they saw a small flame and asked.

Uncle Six shuddered suddenly, and then came back to his senses:

"Perhaps someone's firewood is in trouble?"

"It shouldn't be——"

"Who brought Chao Chai? Did they do it on purpose?" Someone muttered dissatisfiedly.

But at this moment, the child held by Uncle Six suddenly said:

"Milk, why do I feel that Fifth Aunt's body seems a little red?"

"Children, don't talk nonsense——"

Uncle Liu was already very uneasy, but when she heard the child say this, she quickly clasped her hands together and bowed to the sky twice:

"Children's words have no restraint, children's words have no restraint."

Although the adults seem to have no taboos, they have killed people after all. Something strange happened tonight. On the surface, everyone seems to be fearless, but in fact, everyone has a ghost in their heart and dare not look at Zhuang's body.

On the contrary, the children were ignorant and fearless. To them, what happened tonight was just fun and lively. Instead, they stared at Mr. Zhuang and were the first to notice something was wrong.

After the grandson of the Sixth Uncle's family finished speaking, someone bravely looked at Mr. Zhuang, and upon looking at it, he discovered something strange:

"No, it's really wrong. Mr. Zhuang's body really turned red!"

As soon as the adult shouted, the others immediately suppressed their fear and looked at Zhuang's body——

On top of the pyre, Mrs. Zhuang's body was curled up and burned for most of the day. The fire was so bright before, but it seemed that not even a hair of her hair was burned.

The long hair that had been soaked with water was twisted and wrapped around her body, dripping with water.

The sound of dripping water that everyone heard before must have come from water dripping from her hair.

And the scariest thing is her body.

Before she died, in order to punish her, the people of Kuai Liang Village stripped her naked and made her embarrassed in front of others before she died. So now after her death, everyone can clearly see her pale skin.

After the flames burned her body, her body took on a color as red as blood. Her whole body no longer looked like a corpse, but instead looked like a human-shaped iron that had been exposed to the fire for a long time and had been burned red.

Such a huge fire did not burn her body, but it burned red, and her hair was still dripping with water——

Even a person as stupid as a pig would realize at this moment that it is haunted.

An atmosphere of panic instantly enveloped the riverside of Kuai Liang Village.

Everyone's eyes were wide open and they didn't dare to say anything.

‘Hiss—’

At this moment, a strange sticky sound began to sound, as if someone was walking hard in the mud with bare feet.

Because of the extreme fear, everyone's brains went blank and their bodies became stiff, as if they had lost all ability to think and act.

The flame is still burning, but it is gradually getting smaller.

The black fog enveloped the entire river at some point, even covering the villages in the mountain col.

'Bang bang bang -' Uncle Liu's heartbeat was like a drum beating, and while he was feeling anxious, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of 'bang'.

It seemed like something exploded.

On the pile of flames, Mr. Zhuang's body turned into extremely thick blood like molten iron under the flames. It flowed into the pile of fire bit by bit and disappeared without a trace in front of everyone.

The fire in the pyre was extinguished instantly, and the torches held by many people were extinguished in an instant by the strong evil spirit.

Everyone's eyes went dark and they were in darkness.

This kind of fear, which is enough to scare people out of their wits, deprives them of the ability to speak and escape.

Everyone stood frozen in place like puppets.

After a long time, a long and thin trill sounded sharply in the dark night, like a special alarm: "Ghost!"

"Damn it-"

"ghost--"

"Ahhhh-"

The screams turned into long echoes, echoing back and forth on the river.

It was as if someone was sighing resentfully on the river, and the sound lasted for a long time.

The long dark night that belongs to Kuai Liang Village has finally arrived.
