Chapter 337 The Haunted House War
As soon as Zhong Gong said swallowing gold, I understood what was going on.It was recorded in Grandpa's work notes.In ancient times, encoffining usually contained mouthpieces. Ordinary people put a copper coin in the mouth of the corpse, indicating that they would send little ghosts to ask for directions when going to the underworld.Generally, the mouth is in the mouth, but there are accidents, when the corpse is bumped during the transportation process, or some other accident occurs, the gold and jade contained in the mouth will slide down and get stuck in the throat.

This is called swallowing gold in the jargon. When encountering such a master, those with professional qualities will give up their mouths. Those looters who can't get on the stage are often like locusts crossing the border, brutally cutting the throat of the corpse and taking the swallowing gold. gone.

This is a digression, swallowing gold is not a big problem, but jade is a symbol of essence, and has always been known as having the effect of health preservation. The health preservation is to nourish people's essence, energy and spirit.This corpse must be at least a general level in front of him. Does it have jade in its mouth? When the corpse jade touches each other, it is like gold and iron, and cannot be shaken at all.

Encountering this kind of zongzi, I was basically at a loss. This zongzi not only swallowed gold, but also made holes, as if it had become a ghost. After Zhong Gong said that, he ran outside, but I was blocked by the zongzi. Seeing that the knife didn't work, in desperation, he had no choice but to turn around and run in without saying a word.

The rice dumpling was so fast that it flew towards me. Of course I couldn’t outrun it when it came to running. In desperation, I took advantage of the trend and hid in front of the black leather sofa. As soon as my body fell to the ground, the whole sofa was overturned by the force of that thing. Yes, hit it directly.I couldn't dodge it for a while, but fortunately I was in front of the sofa, there was a gap between the seat cushion and the backrest, and it just formed a triangle after falling down, covering me in that triangle.

That boy Zhong Gong is not loyal enough, he has long since disappeared, I cursed bad luck in my heart, knowing that this sofa cannot stop the force of the rice dumpling, I have to hide in a safe place quickly, and find a way to get rid of the rice dumpling.

Thinking of this, I began to crawl out, preparing to climb out of this triangle, but just as I was about to emerge, a scorched and foul-smelling head appeared in front of the triangle, blocking my way.

Not to mention the disgusting smell of the charred corpse, it mixed with the original incense smell of the villa to form a very weird smell.That thing blocked in front of me, and there was a mass of scorched flesh in the two eye sockets, the flesh grains inside turned slightly, like human eyes, and then, a pair of hands with long black nails suddenly thrust towards me.

Fortunately, I backed away the first time I saw it, narrowly avoiding the deadly distance. Its long nails stuck in, just about one centimeter in front of my nose, so I had to retreat a little slower. , I'm afraid there will be more holes in my head.

This thing was blocked by the sofa when it was inserted, and I was very angry. I swung my arms violently, and the sofa was directly lifted by it, exposing my lying posture on the ground.Before I got up, I rushed over again.

I rely on.

Now I don't have the time to dodge, I don't even have the time to get up. Seeing that it is about to be pressed down, I subconsciously lift my legs and kick them on the scorched rice dumpling's chest, blocking its tendency to jump down. .When I met this huge force suddenly, my legs trembled, wondering if my bones were about to be shattered, and there was a heart-rending pain in my ankle.

I knew that it was useless to just hide, the speed of a person is not as fast as a zongzi, let alone this mutated old zongzi, so enduring the pain, I gritted my teeth, kicked it out with force, and at the same time, this The force with which my butt kicked out also pushed me back.

Thanks to the smooth floor of their house, with this force, my back slipped on the ground and I was pushed to the stairs, and the rice dumpling was kicked to the ground by me. Before it got up, I rushed upstairs. As soon as it rushed to the top of the stairs, it chased after it again, not walking, but half-flying. When going up the stairs, it jumped half the distance when it kicked its legs, and it would lie on the ground for hundreds of years , Eighty percent of them have evolved into flying corpses.

Seeing that it could catch up to me in two steps, I didn't care about running away, and immediately opened the door closest to me to hide in, and locked the door behind me.Immediately afterwards, there was a slamming sound from outside the door, and the wooden door trembled. I suspect that if it hits twice more, it will probably be scrapped.

Accompanied by this sound, the lights in the room suddenly turned on. The moment the lights turned on, I saw Dou Lin in her pajamas on the bed, and she said angrily: "Why are you here!" This sentence is exactly what I want to ask, I was too unlucky, I ran into this woman every time I entered a room, I didn't bother to pay attention to her right now, and rushed to the edge of the balcony immediately.Below this balcony is the lawn, this is the second floor, the height is about four meters, one or two meters is no problem, three meters is okay, four meters is high, and I haven't practiced light kung fu, so I won't break my bones when I jump down?

Before I could hesitate, I heard a bang, and the wooden door was pierced through with a puff, and a pair of scorched hands and sharp nails stuck in. When Dou Lin saw it, her eyes were straightened, and she let out a scream, and she suddenly jumped into the door. He rushed to the balcony, hugged my arm and refused to let go, almost crying: "What, what?"

Being hugged by a little beauty in pajamas seems to be a happy thing for most people, but I find it disgusting. Judging from her contemptuous tone of tofu, I no longer have any affection for this woman.The thing withdrew its hand again, and the next moment, the wooden door was slammed open again.

I couldn't help gasping, without saying a word, I grabbed the quilt on the bed and wrapped myself up, hugged Dou Lin and jumped down.

Fortunately, I was prepared. Both the quilt and the lawn withstood most of the impact. Jumping and falling were almost instantaneous, and I didn't feel any pain when I bounced my body.I quickly lifted the quilt, looked up, and saw that the thing had already wandered to the balcony, looking like it was about to jump off.

I remember turning left about ten meters away is the exit of the villa, which is the big iron gate. As long as I go out and lock the iron gate, I can resist it for a while. As soon as I thought about it, I got up and ran towards the gate. Dou Lin said in a crying voice, "Wait for me."

Although I am very disgusted with this woman, I can't let her go at this time. I turned my head and saw that this woman was still sitting on the pile of quilts, her legs were trembling, and the zongzi had already jumped off.Even if I turn around to save her now, it's too late, because my speed of saving people can't keep up with the speed of Zongzi's killing her. If she wants to survive, she has to get up first.

I yelled: "Get up, run!" I don't know if my voice had an effect, or if she finally overcame her fear. The moment the rice dumpling rushed over, she immediately got up and ran towards me, and I quickly turned around to respond. , the zongzi was chasing very closely, the moment I passed by Dou Lin, I jumped up, kicked the zongzi's chest with both feet, and kicked it out. At the same time, I shouted: "You run first."

If I don't delay for a while, at Dou Lin's speed, I can't run fast no matter what.After the zongzi was kicked to the ground by me, its body bounced up like a spring, and it rushed towards me.There was a foul stench.

Probably the human stress response played a role. I took a sudden step forward, then lay down on the ground, reached for the quilt not far away, threw it out forcefully, and covered it.

The ancestors said that the sofa and the wooden door are as perfect in Zongzi's hands as softness is used to overcome rigidity, but this quilt is covered, so that it has no way to exert force and spins on the spot, but the quilt cannot be removed.

I took this opportunity to run away, and rushed out of the iron gate in one breath, and Dou Lin just ran out of the iron gate, and I said: "Lock the door." The current iron gate uses electronic locks, and Dou Lin only knows the password, and she was frightened At this moment, Tuantuan said: "Password, password... I, I suddenly can't remember it."

Depend on!
I suppressed the anger in my heart and said, "Leave it alone, run."

At this moment, my newly bought car suddenly ran out from the side of the road and stopped in front of us suddenly. The door opened, and Zhong Gong's voice came from inside: "Get in the car."

I was overjoyed, got into the car quickly, and said, "Brother, you did a great job." Dou Lin also sat in the car, panicking, and said, "Quick, get out of here."

Zhong Gong and I didn't care about her at all, Zhong Gong said: "Sit tight, it will be very exciting next time."

I said: "OK." Dou Lin only thought of running for her life, but she didn't think of the consequences if she let this zongzi wander around. Although there are few residents in this neighborhood, it doesn't mean that there are no people, not to mention that zongzi is good at tracking living people Once they find those innocent residents, those people have no power to resist. The reason why we can escape is entirely due to our experience in dealing with zongzi.

Ordinary people, it is estimated that they will die if they meet face to face.

As soon as the words fell, the zongzi had already jumped out, with torn and tattered cotton wadding hanging on its body, it seemed that the quilt had been torn to pieces by it.

Dou Lin didn't know Zhong Gong and I's plan yet, so she said anxiously: "It's coming, hurry up, run away."

Zhong Gong said: "Sit down, let's run right away." Immediately after stepping on the accelerator, he slammed into the rice dumpling inside the gate, and the scorched rice dumpling suddenly drew closer under the headlights. The cushion under him shook violently, and immediately after, the black figure in front of him was knocked out.The zongzi fell on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet, Zhong Gong's car followed closely and crushed it suddenly, I seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.

Dou Lin was completely dumbfounded, the way she looked at us was like looking at a monster.

Although Zhong Gong seemed taciturn, he was very reliable in his work. After he was overwhelmed, he turned the front of the car abruptly on the spot, and went back to press it again. Thanks to the fact that the yard of the villa is large enough, it is all lawn and floor tiles, and there are no trees around, otherwise it would be impossible. It will be difficult.
