husband from hell

Chapter 73

It was a paper toad toad with five legs.

"Eh?" Luo Weilan also saw it, knelt down and picked it up, held it in his hand and looked at it, the five-legged toad was folded out of a piece of yellow paper, very delicate, if you press the second half of it, it will still Can bounce up.

"This is." After Luo Weilan saw it clearly, his handsome face changed color: "Five-legged toad god?"
what happened?
Cheng Ke took the piece of paper, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's the kind of yellow paper that was burned in the grave."
"Strange," I wondered, "you locals respect the five-legged toad god so much, why would someone fold it and use it as a toy for children?"
Cheng Ke also seemed to recognize the origin of this thing, and frowned slightly.

Just when Luo Weilan was about to speak, there was a commotion in the front hall, and the middle-aged woman came twisting the fat mantou. The fat mantou still had the same expressionless appearance, and seemed to find it difficult to even raise her eyelids and open her mouth.

And the middle-aged woman looked angrily: "No matter what, you have to see things clearly today. Where did the child come from?"
"There is no child staying in this hotel at all." Fat Mantou replied lukewarmly in a very boring tone: "How many times do I have to tell you before you can listen?"
"What's your attitude?" The middle-aged woman's big curly hair was about to explode straight: "I tell you, this dumb loss, others will eat it, and our Hu family will definitely not eat it. set!"
"It turned out to be the Hu family who is proficient in ecstasy." Cheng Ke turned his head and looked at the middle-aged woman: "But I remember that the ancestral grave of the Hu family is not near Lover Mountain."
Luo Weilan looked at Cheng Ke in surprise: "Do you know the Hu family?"
Cheng Ke shook his head and said, "I just heard about it."
Needless to say, the Hu family seems to be a big family, ecstasy?I remembered the young man who gave me eye milk tea that I met near the police station came. That young man obviously also had a fox face!
While we were talking, the woman had already dragged the shop owner to us, and said repeatedly: "Today, I have to find that Yekuilang, otherwise, I, Hu Xiaoqiu, will never end with you! You can ask them, and they will also hear Already!"
The store owner raised his eyelids and looked at the three of us: "Is there really a child crying?"
Luo Weilan handed over the five-legged toad made of yellow paper: "Lu Qiao heard it, we saw this at the door."
The middle-aged woman saw the five-legged toad at a glance, just like Luo Weilan's expression just now, her face changed suddenly, she was shocked and horrified, she stared at me: "Yes, you have offended the five-legged toad. Foot toad god!"
"What?" When I heard it, I quickly waved my hand: "I didn't either!"
"You don't know the curse of the five-legged toad god?" The middle-aged woman showed an expression like an old witch: "You just wait! You are so beautiful."
With that said, he twisted and left.

"Curse?" I frowned. "Is it aimed at me?"
"It's okay." Cheng Ke didn't say much, looked at the yellow paper, and said, "Don't think too much."
"It's a story from the older generation," said Fat Mantou, "it probably means that the five-legged toad god will wake up to eat people every time he sleeps for a while, and a five-legged toad god will be placed at the door of the person who wants to eat." origami. Don't believe the stories that scare children."
With that said, he turned around and was about to go back to the front hall.

Before, I was quite serious about saying that there was a five-legged toad in my house, but now I said it was a story to scare the children. This boss is really clouded, and I don’t know which sentence is true and which sentence is false.

I remembered the woman with the paper child on her back, and quickly asked, "Boss, have you ever asked the woman who came to the hotel alone? She carried a paper figure on her back."
"Woman?" Fat Mantou turned his head, his expressionless face finally became a little more bewildered: "Except for the three sisters of the Hu family and you, there are no other women in the inn."
I suddenly remembered that when Cheng Ke and I lived in the store, Fat Mantou led us in, but that woman came in by herself!

After hearing this, Luo Weilan felt a little thoughtful: "Carrying a paper child?"
I hurriedly asked: "Do you know?"
Luo Weilan shook her head and said, "I didn't hear anyone except you that day."
Strange, did no one see that woman except me and Cheng Ke?

"Don't worry too much." Luo Weilan scratched her head habitually, then turned the topic back, and said, "After all, no one has really seen a five-legged toad eat people."
Cheng Ke thanked him, but his attitude was still the same: "If you really come, we will wait."
"Then, as long as you need my help, just open your mouth!" Luo Weilan patted her chest with a very loyal look: "I'm going to stay here for a few more days, so I'm ready to die."
I also thanked, Luo Weilan chatted with us a few more words, and left. As a result, before leaving, he saw Cheng Ke pressed the mirror on the door, and was stunned again, but he seemed a little hesitant , didn't say anything, just smiled.

"It's so strange here." I couldn't help but say, "It's even more strange than Tanshen Town."
Cheng Ke played with the yellow paper toad with his slender fingers, thought for a while, and said, "Just wait and see, maybe something interesting will happen."
"I feel like you have something to do with the Luo family!" I looked at Cheng Ke: "How did you remember that herb?"
"It's nothing more than someone taught me," Cheng Ke said, "When I was alive, I should have been just a ghost raiser, not a doctor."
The small bowl brought by Luo Weilan was still quietly placed on the table. Cheng Ke picked it up and looked at it, but put it down again without saying anything.

I think Cheng Ke doesn't seem to like Luo Weilan very much.

At night, because my neck still couldn’t move, Cheng Ke got used to hugging me to sleep again. No matter how I lay in his cold arms, I felt stiff and uncomfortable. I tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep. Cheng Ke frowned. Looking at me, Taohua's big eyes were heavy, and she sighed unconsciously.

I was afraid that he would be worried, so I said, "I'm fine."
Just at this time, I suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps outside, and someone muttered: "It's time, it's time."
I looked at Cheng Ke, and Cheng Ke also turned his head. Under the dim light outside, the silhouettes of several people were falling on the window paper. They looked like the gentleman on the beam, sneaking.

"Who is it?" I struggled to get up from Cheng Ke's arms and looked outside. Cheng Ke pressed me down, sat up by himself, and opened the window slightly.

Through the gap in the window, I saw a few figures in black clothes, squirming outside. Each of them carried a long-handled lantern, and the light shone on the densely packed hydrangeas.

Could it be the ghost breeders next door, what are they doing at night?

I climbed down from the bed and stood behind Cheng Ke, and I barely poked my neck to look out. Cheng Ke turned his head and was about to say something when suddenly our window "bang" and was covered by a big window. The strength is broken!

It was as if someone was holding a huge boulder and smashed it hard on the window pane!
Cheng Ke's complexion suddenly darkened, and he protected me behind him. I looked over Cheng Ke's thin shoulders, and saw the smoke and dust stirred up by the bed lattice dispersed. Under the dim oil lamp, a woman in black clothes Standing at the door, the two eyes hidden under the veil stared at Cheng Ke and me in a daze.

I recognized it immediately: "Isn't this the woman who carried the paper child that night!"
"Gah." The woman opened her mouth, but made such a voice!
My scalp is numb all of a sudden!
Cheng Ke's voice was low: "Five-legged toad?"
And although that woman has a very petite body, she is extremely vigorous. Her legs sank slightly, and then she bounced up lightly, and rushed towards me and Cheng Ke!
That posture is exactly the same as the toad's posture of preying!
I knew Cheng Ke would strike, every time he was ruthless and didn't spare any sympathy, and it was the same this time. Seeing the woman rushing towards him, he raised his hand, and saw that woman immediately fell to the ground, head, The body, as well as the legs, were broken into three pieces!
I screamed in my throat, he, killed a living person?
But before I could yell out a sound, I heard the sound of "pounce", and the woman on the ground turned into a black veil broken into three pieces!
At the same time, my ear was itchy, and I only felt a long and wet thing sticking to my ear. I had long forgotten that my neck was twisted. As soon as I turned around, the severe pain suddenly made my brain almost It was blank, but I still saw that woman standing behind me again, her veil had fallen off, revealing a wide mouth that was split to the side of the ear, with a long pink tongue coming out of the wide mouth Stretched out and licked my earlobe!
Like, like the face of a toad!
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound, and the long tongue broke off and fell to the ground. The woman turned her head, staring at Cheng Ke fiercely with a pair of green eyes, and opened her mouth again. A new long tongue came, this time it went around my neck and strangled me tightly!

Cheng Ke's eyes were filled with anger, revealing a ruthless look!

But before he could make a move, suddenly a kind of white powder fell from nowhere, covering the head and face of that woman and me!

"Gah." The tongue suddenly retracted, this sound was a scream!

When I turned around, I saw that woman's face was distorted, she was completely in pain!Cheng Ke had already protected me, raised his hand, a ray of light flashed, the woman disappeared suddenly, and only a broken gray-green thing fell on the ground.

"Oh, I'm late!" It was Luo Weilan who came over, holding a thick earthenware pot in his hand, and said with a frown, "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen."
It was only then that I discovered that those powders of unknown origin just now were salt sprinkled by Luo Weilan!

Cheng Ke glanced at Luo Weilan, squatted down to look at the gray-green thing, Luo Weilan also ran to the front, and murmured, "Toad skin."
Sure enough, under the dim light of the oil lamp, I could also see that it was a spotted skin, the size of an ordinary cloak, lumpy, and covered with leprosy.

I looked at Cheng Ke, but Cheng Ke didn't say anything, but turned to look at Luo Weilan. Then I remembered to thank you, and hurriedly said, "Thank you very much! You came just in time."
"It's just a coincidence." Luo Weilan quickly waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, I just heard the movement, so I came over to have a look, who knows, I ran into that kind of thing."
"It turns out that toads are afraid of salt." I looked at Luo Weilan's salt jar.

"This should be common sense, but it's just a coincidence. I heard unusual movements outside. I was about to sprinkle some salt to drive away evil spirits when I heard a voice here. The thing just now seemed to be possessed. "Luo Weilan frowned: "I just feel that there seems to be something wrong. I looked at the speed of Cheng Ke, that thing shouldn't be able to run."
Cheng Ke stood up and said flatly, "I probably missed it."
"It's also possible that she used a trick that's hard to see." Luo Weilan analyzed for a while, then turned to look at me: "Are you okay?"
I quickly shook my head: "It's okay."
After I finished speaking, I realized that my neck was twisted so hard just now, and it was healed!

It's really dumbfounding, maybe this is a blessing in disguise, the appearance of that strange woman helped me heal my neck.

Cheng Ke's cold hand stroked my neck, his eyes were a bit complicated.

And at this time, suddenly someone from the next door uttered a scream. When Luo Weilan heard it, she immediately ran over with the jar of salt in her arms. Cheng Ke took my hand and followed, the voice came from It came from the room on our inner side, and as soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw a sticky trail at the door, dragging across the floor of the corridor, until it reached a certain room on the inner side .

Luo Weilan had already rushed in, Cheng Ke and I arrived at the door, Cheng Ke took a look first, turned around and covered my eyes, and at the same time, a burst of bloody smell came from inside and entered my room. Then, Luo Weilan's voice sounded too, in an overly horrified tone: "This, this is..."
"What's the matter?" I stretched out my hand and pulled Cheng Ke's hand, and looked behind him over his shoulder. I couldn't help being dumbfounded. I saw that this room turned out to be the room of the sisters of the Hu family. There were two middle-aged women. Standing there, dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at the headless corpse lying in the pool of blood on the ground.

The corpse was wearing black cloth shoes and a bamboo cloth summer shirt. Just above the shoulders, there was a torn wound, and blood was still flowing out. Looking at the wound, it seemed as if it was bitten down by something!
I can also see that the corpse is just Hu Xiaoqiu who came over and made a lot of noise.

"Just now, what happened just now?" Luo Weilan's voice was also a little anxious: "Could it be that a woman with a big mouth came to your room?"
And the two remaining middle-aged women were exactly like clay sculptures and wood carvings, they didn't react at all, as if they couldn't stand the scene that just happened in front of them, they looked like they were in a daze!

"You need to ring the bell first to collect the soul," Cheng Ke said in a low voice, "wait for me, I'll find a bell."
But at the same time, Luo Weilan had already moved Cheng Ke first, took out a small bell from his arms, shook it near the ears of the two middle-aged women, and said something I couldn't understand.

It turned out to be very similar to what Cheng Ke said at the door that night!
This Luo Weilan moved his hand almost at the same time as Cheng Ke was speaking, it is impossible to hear Cheng Ke's voice, the two of them have the same heart!
Not long after, the two middle-aged women trembled, their eyeballs finally began to turn, their chests heaved violently, and they opened their mouths incoherently: "Just, just one mouthful, just one mouthful." !"
"Speak slowly!" Luo Weilan quickly helped the two middle-aged women pour tea, sprinkled a handful of salt in it, and said, "Take a sip first to calm the shock!"
The two sisters from the Hu family took the tea and drank it tremblingly, but because one of them was breathing too violently, she choked and coughed uncontrollably. Luo Weilan quickly patted her on the back and asked Said: "Is it better?"
The middle-aged woman was about to speak when a strange voice sounded behind us: "The five-legged toad eats people, of course it only has one bite."
