husband from hell

Chapter 98
My back felt cold for a while, old woman, so she can talk?Then why did she pretend to be a deaf-mute?
Looking at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke pursed his thin lips and said, "Don't think too much, things happen for a reason."

It's not the first time I've heard such ambiguous words from Cheng Ke's mouth, so I could only curl my lips and continue to watch the old woman's strange behavior: "Is this the so-called raising Gu? Maybe it's just a custom , let's maintain a respectful attitude?"

"It's hard to say." Cheng Ke Taohua narrowed his eyes and said, "Eating beef and chicken is also a human custom, and in this matter, cows and chickens, should we also maintain respect for customs?"

I stopped for a moment, Cheng Ke looked at me, and smiled slightly: "So, whether you respect it or not, the facts will not change."

As he spoke, he pulled me over and said in a low voice, "Don't watch, I'll put you to sleep."

"I don't need you to coax me, I'm not a child anymore."

"What does that matter." Cheng Ke gently kissed my forehead: "I like coaxing."

As if being gently scratched by a feather, my heart skipped a beat, and I stepped back a bit, but just as I touched something slippery.

Lowering his head, he saw his hands rubbing against the edge of the mat.

I frowned and lifted the mat, only to be surprised, only to see that there was a lot of black hair under the mat!

Cheng Ke had seen it a long time ago, and immediately pulled my hand over: "Don't move around, this is also a kind of Gu technique."

"This..." I stared at the shiny black hair, and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of Gu technique is this?"

"It should be the pillow mat Gu from Xichuan." Cheng Ke said: "Using a virgin's hair to press it under the pillow mat, so that the couples who sleep here can reconcile and bring an auspicious omen."

"Couple..." I was a little confused: "Why... doesn't the old lady live alone? Could it be that there is also a husband?"

"I haven't seen it now, but I can't explain that I didn't see it before." Cheng Ke's beautiful eyes looked beyond the rain curtain outside, and said, "The old lady has lived for so long, and she probably has experienced many things that you can't think of."

I also followed Cheng Ke's line of sight, and the old lady was gone.

If you live in someone else's house, don't meddle in other people's business. I told myself that I owe the old lady a favor. It's wrong to be suspicious. Besides, it's not my turn to worry about what people do in their own home.

Luo Weilan was saved by the old lady!This favor has not been returned yet.

Anyway, when Luo Weilan recovers, we will leave here, and maybe we will never see each other again in this lifetime.

I lay down again, but I couldn’t fall asleep. I really wanted to go to the toilet, but I didn’t dare to go, so I had to turn left and right in Cheng Ke’s arms. I couldn’t sleep well. Cheng Ke frowned: " Get up, I'll go with you."

"Hey..." My face turned red, "You..."

After saying that, Cheng Ke got up, got out of bed, reached out and picked up my shoes from under the bed, and said, "Come here."

I stretched out my feet, Cheng Ke put it on me, took my hand, took an umbrella at the door of the main room, opened it, leaned over in the direction of the rain line, and blocked my side .

"Thank you..." I looked at the angle of the umbrella turning sideways, and my heart warmed up.

"Okay." Cheng Ke said casually: "Wherever you want to go, I will accompany you."

This kind of, can't help but be happy.

The old woman's toilet was built in a corner of the yard. It was dark and frightening. Cheng Ke took a look and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll be waiting for you here."

I nodded and went in.

The toilet is built together with the bathroom, so it is considered a suite, and the door to the toilet is after the bathroom.

I was about to push it open, but found a woman standing inside the door, looking at me expressionlessly.

I staggered backwards, nearly falling to the ground.

She is very young, only in her twenties, and although she does not look very attractive, she is also considered delicate and pleasant. She is wearing a white gauze on her slender figure, and she looks a little out of place. The feeling of cannibalism.

And that long hair, like the one pressed on the head of the bed, was shiny and shiny, but her face was pale and pale, with no blood at all.

I froze, who is this?
Besides the old woman, is there anyone else living here?It's just... the old lady didn't say anything?
I hurriedly apologized and said, "Sorry, I didn't know there were people inside."

The woman inside looked at me straight, but didn't answer me. I guessed, who is this woman from the old woman?Granddaughter?
She slowly came out of the toilet.

I was quite embarrassed, so I couldn't help but said: "Excuse me, the only one in my house is the old lady."

The woman just quietly squatted by the sink and washed her hands.

I thought about it, did I disturb her to go to the bathroom, and she was upset?Then he said tentatively, "Hi, my name is Lu Qiao, may I ask you to be..."

The woman still ignored me and just stood up. I was a little puzzled, and felt that something was wrong.

It wasn't until his eyes fell on the pool that he realized that there was no woman's reflection on the water!

This shock was no small matter, she was...

The woman raised her face and said with a bit of confusion: "You went to the wrong place, this place is not for the living."

"You, you, you..." Before I could finish speaking, the woman had already walked towards the door.

Cheng Ke heard my voice and poked his head in: "Are you alright?"

"No." I turned around and said to Cheng Ke: "Just now... there was someone inside... You, did you see the woman who went out?"

"Woman..." Cheng Ke frowned, turned his head and said, "What woman?"

Cheng Ke...didn't see it?

Seeing that I was a little incoherent in shock, Cheng Ke lowered his head and looked at the pool: "Did you see it here?"

I nodded hurriedly, and when I got closer, I saw that there seemed to be something sinking in the bottom of the pool, which was very green.

It's a deep cloud.

"Okay, let's go back." Cheng Ke said, "It's not surprising."

"I haven't gone to the bathroom yet..."

Although it is a haunted toilet, even though I have only seen a ghost, it is really no more urgent than a person.

After coming out of the toilet, I couldn't help but guess, what is the relationship between that woman and the old woman?
"Do you know what Gu is?" Cheng Ke turned his head to look at me as he walked.

"I heard that 99 bugs fought together, and the last one that survived is the so-called Gu, which can harm people, isn't it?" I said.

"Gu, sometimes it can harm people, but sometimes it can do other things," Cheng Ke said, "For example, to fulfill one's own wish."

"Fulfill your wish?" I said, "Isn't Gu art always called some vicious heresy?"

"It depends on what the person who uses Gu thinks." Cheng Ke said, "It's like a knife. It can cut vegetables in the hands of a cook, but it can kill people in the hands of gangsters."

"I understand, I understand." I hurriedly continued to ask: "Why does the Gu capital harm people? Does it get into people's hearts, and then make people look like Princess Iron Fan who swallowed Monkey King?"

"Some Gu can be planted on the body, and some Gu can grow in the heart." Cheng Ke said: "For example, the famous heart Gu, in the past, men in Xichuan never dared to get close to other women when they traveled far away, because Before they leave home, they are always bewitched by their wives.

Heart vomit resides in the human body, there is no other feeling, but once the man falls in love with a woman other than his wife, the heart voodoo will eat away at the person's heart, that feeling is comparable to all torture, it is indescribable pain Needless to say, Gu worms and their owners are connected, once a man's heart changes, a woman will either let the Gu worms eat his heart, or if she is soft-hearted and stops the Gu worms, the Gu worms will turn back and eat the woman. own heart. "

"So the owner has to take such a big risk?" I was stunned: "Things like Gu are really scary."

"There is also a kind of evil Gu, which is the same." Cheng Ke continued: "If someone has a grudge with someone and releases the evil Gu, it can lower the other party's luck and ruin the family, but once there is such a start, then The evil Gu will repeat itself and continue to harm people.

If the owner does not allow the evil Gu to harm others, he will be harmed himself - Gu art is a double-edged sword, it can hurt others as well as self-harm. "

That is to say, once this matter starts, it cannot end.

Cheng Ke smiled slightly and said, "Are you afraid?"

I replied: "It's... nothing to be afraid of, it's just bugs..."

"It's a pity that I'm already dead," Cheng Ke said suddenly: "Otherwise, when it comes to heart gu, I also think you can keep me on my body, so you can rest assured. Gu ate me."

I looked at Cheng Ke's calm and helpless expression, and suddenly smiled: "That's right, so I can rest assured."

However, if there is such a day, I guess, I would rather let the heart vomit turn back than let them eat Cheng Ke.

No matter who is in his heart, I have him in my heart.

"So," Cheng Ke sighed heavily, "What a pity."

I pretended not to understand what he meant.

The night is dark, and the jujube tree leaves outside the window are still dripping raindrops, ticking, urging people to sleep.

This voice can easily make people relax. I put aside all my worries and slept peacefully.

When he woke up again, his head was leaning against Cheng Ke’s chest, and his neck was a little uncomfortable. He got up and shook his neck, and found that the sun had passed through the jujube trees outside the window and shone on the kang. Cheng Ke was staring at Luo Wei Lan, seeing that I woke up, hooked her thin lips: "Did you sleep well?"

I nodded: "It seems that I haven't slept so peacefully for a long time, how is Luo Weilan?"

"I talked a few words in my sleep, as if I wanted to go home to find my grandma and eat the toon fish made by my grandma." Cheng Ke smiled slightly: "It's a very simple wish."

"I hope I can help him realize this wish." Looking at Luo Weilan who was still asleep, I turned my head and said, "Where is the old lady?"

"I'm not at home, so I don't know where I'm going." Cheng Ke looked at the jujube trees and said, "Probably, I should run for these jujube trees."

"Jujube tree?" I remembered the weird and shuddering feeling when the old woman picked dates yesterday.

"Dong dong dong..." At this moment, there was another knock on the door.

"Huh?" I immediately remembered what happened yesterday, and hurriedly got up from the bed: "The person from yesterday again?"

"Not necessarily." Cheng Ke stood up, took my hand, and walked into the courtyard: "Let's go and have a look."

"But the old lady is not at home, this door," I hesitated: "Should I open it?"

"Click." Unexpectedly, before we opened the door, the door was pushed open by itself, and a timid voice said, "Excuse me... is there anyone?"

A very young girl appeared at the door.

She is about twenty, with a thin figure and not much clothes. She seems to be shivering in the cold wind of Chuqing, but the dust and fatigue on her face can't hide her beautiful face, like spring water. His eyes were shining brightly in the sun, with a little restraint.

I was suddenly a little puzzled, as if I had seen her there before.

When she saw us, she asked cautiously: "We are lost, and there seems to be someone in this family, can... let us come in for a drink, and if possible, something to eat, don't worry, we have the travel expenses. "

get lost?I looked behind the girl, and saw several young people of her age were following her, all of them looked dusty, with big bags and photographic equipment on them.

"We are not people with unknown origins." The girl hurriedly took out a business card, and I took it over to take a look, only to see that it said "Host of Xichuan Travel Channel Traveling Landscape: Chuxue."

I suddenly realized, no wonder she looks familiar!I have also watched the program of Xichuan Travel Channel, and the girl in front of me is indeed the beautiful host: "Ah, I recognize it! I have watched your program, and I am still your fan!"

"That's great." The girl hurriedly showed a professional smile and said, "So..."

I hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, we are also guests here. The host's family is not here now, so we can't make decisions. How about this? I see that the host's family is also a very enthusiastic person, and they probably won't reject people thousands of miles away. You come in first and take a rest in the yard, there should be no problem."

After hearing this, Chuxue could not hide her joyful expression, and hurriedly stepped into the threshold, brought in the photographers and other staff from behind, and sat in front of me and Cheng Ke: "Then Thank you so much!"

I brought tea, and she was very grateful, so I took advantage of the situation and asked, "You are here to record a show?"

After they drank the tea, they seemed to have some energy. Chuxue introduced the situation. It turned out that they were going to record a special episode called "Witch Gu Xichuan", so they came to the interior of this Xichuan, but they were talking to me. The second grandpa said that outside the Xichuan Mountains there are very modern towns, but in the Xichuan Mountains, there are still undeveloped poor mountains and bad waters, which are very dangerous. As a result, the film crew got lost in a mountain depression and went around a few times. Couldn't find the place on the map.

Originally, I wanted to rely on the current GPS positioning system, but who knew that it rained yesterday, and all the shower equipment failed. They walked for nearly a night, and then they came to such a populated place: "I don't know where this is. I'm looking for local people to inquire about it! By the way," she finished speaking, and asked curiously: "You are also guests here? How did you come here?"

I smiled wryly, introduced myself, and said: "Our situation is not much better than yours. My friend had an accident on the road. In order to save him, I searched for him randomly. Even if this village is the one we are looking for? I don't know any of them."

"It's really the same people who have fallen in the end of the world!" Chuxue sighed, looked at Cheng Ke and me, and asked, "When you come to such a deep mountain, have you heard the legend of witchcraft promoted by the Xichuan Travel Channel? Adventure?"

"Legend?" I looked into Chuxue's eyes and said, "I don't know what legend you are talking about?"

"Huh? You don't know?" Chuxue finally came back from a rest, and began to talk like what she saw on TV, "We came here because of the legend. I heard that there is a very magical Gu technique here in Xichuan. It can bring the dead back to life and keep youth forever. Moreover, the outside world does not know much about the mysterious voodoo technique. It is said that this voodoo technique can not only save people, but also harm them. It is very miraculous. The meaning of the show is to do this episode of the program, hoping to promote the development of the local tourism industry."

I nodded, and couldn't help asking: "By the way... How did you know there was someone here when you came here? Did you see an old woman coming out of here?"

"No!" Chuxue said: "We didn't see the old woman, but there was a black dog, who seemed to be psychic, and ran away after snatching one of our signal boxes. When we chased it, we chased after it. We saw this box. It was placed at the door, and then I wanted to know if the black dog is a pet here, so I tried to knock on the door and came in."

"So that's how it is..." I immediately remembered that last night, the knocker who was driven away by the old woman was there.

"You just said that there is a witchcraft that can make people live forever?" Cheng Ke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I don't know, what kind of legend is it?"

Even Chuxue, who is used to seeing the big world, couldn't help being a little dazed when she saw Cheng Ke, and after a moment of reaction, she said, "This..."

A man wearing a peaked cap who looked like a director said: "This is a legend passed down by word of mouth in Xichuan. It is said that there is a village in the hinterland of Xichuan called Changsheng Town. The reason why it got such a name is because the people who lived here People, who are proficient in a witchcraft technique called "longevity", can escape life, old age, sickness and death, and stay young forever. We want to make a fuss about this "longevity" that is elusive for everyone, and publish this issue column."

Cheng Ke's big peach blossom eyes are still dark and dark, without the slightest ripple, but I am stunned, Changsheng, Changsheng again!
If it really has such an effect, could it be that Cheng Ke hid the legendary longevity here before he lost his memory?

"However," another photographer-like person said: "After all, this is just a legend. No one has actually entered the 'Longevity Town'. Doesn't this legend seem even more illusory! I looked at the , Just find a family at random and interview some local witchcraft. If there is such a thing in the world, so many powerful people will probably squeeze in through their connections, and there is no need to die."

"Hahaha, that's true." The other staff also laughed: "If this legend is true, then Qin Shihuang probably died too wrongly, and why did he send Xu Fu to Penglai Island? Xichuan has such a The ability is simply far away.”

Qin Shihuang is so long ago, I don't think about it, but when I mention "immortality", I think of the newly met Wei Qiancheng. Cheng Ke said that Wei Qiancheng is a real living person. Like Xiaoyuan and the others, they used the method of resurrecting the dead. Could it be that Wei Qiancheng has something to do with that 'Longevity Town'?
"However, living here is really exhausting," the director said, "There is no phone, and the mobile phone has no signal. Living here can drive people crazy. No wonder people have all moved out, looking for it. Only such an empty village was found."

"That's right," the other staff lamented, "I can't check Weibo, I can't play WeChat, and my relatives and friends think we have evaporated!"

"So, after the filming is over, go back quickly and cheer up everyone," Chuxue said: "Thinking about the selling point of this episode, the ratings will go up, and it will be worth the hard work for all of us."

All the staff nodded hurriedly and agreed.

Chuxue then said to me: "I don't know when the master's family will come back? We want to ask him the way."

I had no choice but to say: "I'm not sure, I should have gone out in the morning, it shouldn't be too long, right?"

"Just stop here to rest." Several staff members said, "We'll wait."

"Hmm..." At this time, Luo Weilan in the room seemed to wake up, I quickly told them I was sorry, and turned to look at Luo Weilan inside the room.

I saw Luo Weilan finally opened his eyes now, rubbing his eyes and asking me, "Lu Qiao, where is this?"

"You are awake!" I hurriedly said, "You only pointed halfway, and we didn't know where your home was, so we happened to see this place, so we brought you here. A very capable old woman saved you."

"Old woman?" Luo Weilan propped up his body with many wounds, grinning his teeth in pain, but he took a closer look at the wounds on his body and couldn't help being happy again: "Oh, unexpectedly, I really met a master Oh, the Gu poison on my body is really clean!"

"That's good." I also became happy: "When the old lady comes, thank you very much!"

"However..." Luo Weilan hesitated for a moment, and said: "It is not ordinary people who can cure this kind of five poisonous Gu, it must be a great ghost master or a witch and Gu master, right? I'm not familiar with the place, how can I meet it when I meet it?"

"You're lucky, you're still so suspicious." I said, "You're the only local, get up and have a look, where is this place, and how to get to your Luo's house?"

Luo Weilan's injury was not healed yet, he was thinking about it, but he didn't have the strength to get up, because with a slight struggle, the wound that was about to heal would easily collapse, and he looked completely in pain.

I looked at it and said quickly: "Let's leave in no hurry, you take care of it first, the wound will heal better, it's not too late to see."

Luo Weilan could only nod her head, but she was still full of curiosity: "You said just now that the one who helped me detoxify was an old lady?"

"Yeah!" I described the appearance of the old lady, Luo Weilan thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason: "I don't know this ghost nurse... I don't remember the technique she used. "

Luo Weilan's brain is simply a search engine for information about ghost raisers. Even he doesn't remember it, so it must be very mysterious. I said, "You take good care of it first, and we'll talk about it when the old lady comes."

Luo Weilan just nodded, when Chuxue and his group suddenly screamed outside: "Ah, what's going on!"

I heard the sound, and ran out quickly, only to see that group of them surrounded by something, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Seeing me coming out, Chuxue hurriedly said, "Look, what's going on here?"

I leaned over to take a look, and saw that they were fascinated by a date.

The jujubes here are very big, as big as ordinary winter jujubes, like small apples, green and red are very pleasing, probably someone was bored and picked one from the tree and wanted to taste it.

I stretched my head over to take a look, and I was stunned for a moment. I saw that big date with tooth marks, as if it had been bitten open by someone. It had been split into two halves, but it should be the position of the date core... ...It turned out to be the tip of a human finger!
The tip of that finger is the first joint at the top of the finger, with a tiny piece of nail on it!

"Oh my god... there are human fingers growing on the jujube..." A staff member reacted quickly and quickly took out the equipment to shoot, but the director blocked the staff member and said, "You shoot If you touch this thing, it will cause panic, do you know? Finger, what does it mean? It means a corpse case! This kind of thing, no matter whether it is true or not, how can it be broadcast on the TV station, and it cannot pass the censorship alone. !"

"But, this is not a dismembered corpse, this is what grew out of the jujube tree!" A staff member said aggrievedly, "I opened it myself."

"So what if you open it yourself?" The director said sharply, "No matter how miraculous things appear in this kind of place, it's not miraculous. Who made this the hometown of witches and Gu! I advise you to be careful, and you won't be fooled. Don't get involved in something related to witchcraft."

"Boss..." Chuxue said, "It's really rare to see human parts growing out of jujubes. It should be a good gimmick."

"If I say no, I just can't." The director waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and throw away your things, don't be seen by the owner, there are many taboos here, and you will offend people, so you can't bear to go around, hurry up, Bury the jujube back, where it came from, and where it went back!"

The staff had no choice but to pack up the jujubes with aggrievedness, dug a hole under the jujube tree, buried the pulp and stumps in it, and imagined that when the ground was broken, the staff members suddenly yelled in horror, Another person sat down on the ground, as if he saw something terrifying!
