Forbidden City

Chapter 29 On The Road

The second uncle's "favor" surprised me, and I was in a hurry to send a message to Ling Ziyao. The second uncle said that it is too troublesome to send a message, so I just call.I said that her mobile phone has been disconnected, and I guess she can only send messages.

I sent a message to Ling Ziyao saying that I found the amber coffin, and then asked where she was, and I will pick her up to give birth here.Ling Ziyao said she was in the village.I was taken aback. It would be bad if people saw her. Our village is quite remote, and there are dozens of miles away from the city. If a stranger with a belly puffed up suddenly came, the villagers would definitely be suspicious.Of course, it didn't occur to me at this time that not everyone can see ghosts.I asked her exactly where she was, and then told my second uncle, and then I picked up my second uncle's flashlight and ran towards the village.The second uncle shouted from behind me: "Hurry up, wait any longer, the sky will be dawn!"

As soon as I entered the village, I felt something was wrong. How should I put it, although there was nothing weird about it, it was very quiet anyway, so quiet that it made people panic.No sound, no insects, not even the wind.In our village, there are several big old trees that can only be hugged by three people holding hands. Generally, there are some trees and bamboos around the house, so there will be a breeze every night, but now, everything seems to be still.

In other words, tonight, there is no wind at all.

Ling Ziyao said in the message that she was under the big camphor tree in the village, and I walked straight there quickly. When I was almost there, a dog barked suddenly in front of me. I almost jumped up, and the dog barked very fiercely, as if I saw a particularly ferocious beast.

Could it be that an uninvited visitor came to the village?Could it be the little thief Lexus?Because we are in the countryside, apart from me and my second uncle, basically every family has one or two dogs, and these dogs don’t recognize their familiarity, and they will yell when they see strangers. The same is true for people, even screaming and rushing to bite people.

I didn't pay much attention to the barking of the dog at first, but the barking of the dog became more and more fierce, as if it was crazy, and it was accompanied by people's angry shouts.I listened carefully, and it was Uncle Zhou's voice.This is Uncle Zhou's dog barking.I wanted to see what happened to Uncle Zhou's house, but I had more important things to do, so I put aside my curiosity and hurriedly walked under the big camphor tree.

However, when I came to the big camphor tree, I found that the ground below was empty, and Ling Ziyao was not here.I was in a hurry to call her cell phone, but couldn't get through.After sending her a message, there was no reply to me for several minutes.Only then did I faintly feel that something had happened, and I ran towards Uncle Zhou's house without thinking much about it.

From afar, he saw two yellow dogs barking at the door of Uncle Zhou's house. Uncle Zhou held a thin wooden stick and shouted at the two big yellow dogs, "Back again, and break your dog's mouth!" But the two dogs Who will listen?Still screaming, and the sound of a child crying came from inside the room.I could tell that it was Uncle Zhou's granddaughter, Xiaohua, who was crying.

I walked over quickly and asked Uncle Zhou what happened. Uncle Zhou scolded angrily: "These two crazy dogs barked suddenly, and Xiao Hua cried in fright." One of the big yellow dogs found me, It turned around and yelled at me, with its head raised high, its eyes showing a fierce look, and it looked like it was about to pounce on me at any time. I quickly bent down as if I was about to pick up stones and hit it. It was so frightened that it hurriedly backed away with its tail between its legs.Uncle Zhou yelled at the dog again, and the dog seemed to have some scruples.When I was about ten feet away from the two big yellow dogs, I suddenly bent down and picked up a short bamboo tube as a gesture to hit them. The two big dogs were taken aback, and backed away with a whimper. I raised my hand and was about to throw the bamboo tube out. They were so scared Fleeing.

Uncle Zhou asked, "Why are you still up so late, what are you doing?"

Of course I couldn't tell the truth, so I just said that I was worried about Wu Banxian, and I couldn't sleep, so I got up and patrolled.

Xiaohua was still crying in the room, so I followed Uncle Zhou in.

But as soon as I got into the room, I felt my heart sink and I stopped walking suddenly.I saw Ling Ziyao standing in front of the bed, looking at Xiao Hua on the bed motionless, and Xiao Hua seemed to have seen Ling Ziyao too, and was so frightened that she cried loudly in her grandma's arms.

Ling Ziyao must have frightened Xiaohua, I hurried to Ling Ziyao and winked at her, seeing me coming, Ling Ziyao was slightly startled, turned around and walked out the door.I pretended to coax Xiaohua a few words, and seeing Ling Ziyao leave, Xiaohua gradually stopped crying, I took the opportunity and hurried out of the door, told Uncle Zhou that I was going back to sleep, then glanced at Ling Ziyao, Ling Ziyao understood and followed me Go in the direction of the cave.

I blamed Ling Ziyao for scaring Xiao Hua, Ling Ziyao had a big belly, and said aggrievedly: "I saw that child is cute, so I wanted to go and see it." I said you were about to give birth, so you shouldn't walk around.Ling Ziyao curled her lips and remained silent.I remembered that she was taken to Tang Bo's house by Ling Zhi again, so I asked with concern: "That Ling person didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Ling Ziyao said no.I find it very strange, Ling Zhi is an onmyoji, he found out that Ling Ziyao was pregnant with a ghost, why didn't he take corresponding measures?For example, get rid of the ghost...

Ling Ziyao asked: "Did you find the amber coffin?" I said I found it.Ling Ziyao didn't say anything else, and walked forward slowly, looking preoccupied.And at this time, I was also restless, I was already sure that Ling Ziyao was a ghost, otherwise Uncle Zhou and the others couldn't have missed her just now.I think the reason why she went to Uncle Zhou's house was probably because she was going to have a baby and she had a special love for children, so she went to see Xiao Hua.

When I was approaching the entrance of the cave, I couldn't help but say: "Ziyao, I have a question I want to ask you." Ling Ziyao stopped when she heard the sound, looked at me and asked, "If you have any questions, please ask." I thought about it Thinking about it, she asked, "You—why did you find me?" "Ah?" Ling Ziyao didn't seem to understand.I touched my head, feeling really hard to express, and after thinking about it, I said, "I mean, why are you so nice to me?" Ling Ziyao withdrew her gaze, turned around and looked forward, with a sudden look of sadness on her face After a long time, she said quietly: "This-you will understand later. The baby is about to be born, let's hurry up."

Looking at Ling Ziyao walking in front with her big belly, she looks almost like a pregnant woman, she doesn't look like a ghost at all.I thought to myself, how wonderful it would be if she were human!Thinking of this, I am no longer afraid of her being a ghost, I quickly walked up and put my arms around her waist and said gently: "You have a baby, walk slowly." Ling Ziyao hummed lightly and smiled at me .I suddenly found that she is really beautiful.

I finally arrived at the entrance of the cave. After entering, I found that my second uncle was not there. Only the amber coffin was sitting in the entrance of the cave, looking very lonely.As soon as Ling Ziyao saw the amber coffin, she immediately walked up to it, gently stroking the coffin, with surprise and relief on her face, as if seeing a long-lost friend.

I'm very surprised, the second uncle regards this coffin as his lifeblood, how could he let it be here alone?

At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps coming from outside the cave, and I hurriedly turned my head, only to see a black shadow slowly walking in from outside the cave.I took a flashlight at him and found that it was the second uncle, so I called out, "Second uncle, where have you been?" The second uncle looked at Ling Ziyao deeply and did not answer me.

Ling Ziyao also turned her head to look at the entrance of the cave when she heard the sound. When she saw her second uncle, she was slightly taken aback, and turned her head to look at me, seeming to reproach me.I was a little overwhelmed for a moment, so I couldn't speak in a daze.

At the beginning when they were at Uncle Zhou's house, apart from Xiao Hua, the Uncle Zhou's family couldn't see Ling Ziyao, but now, how could Second Uncle see her?
The second uncle came in, looked at Ling Ziyao, and suddenly said with a smile: "Feng Feng, this is your girlfriend?"

I didn't expect my second uncle to ask such a question, and the question was so indifferent, I hurriedly replied: "Well... yes, it's my girlfriend." Then I pretended to say to Ling Ziyao: "Ziyao, this is my second uncle. Uncle." Ling Ziyao nodded to the second uncle, but did not speak, the second uncle looked at Ling Ziyao's big belly, and asked: "Is it going to give birth? By the way, how long have you been pregnant?"

I couldn't help being taken aback, didn't Second Uncle ask this knowingly?What is he trying to do?
