a zombie haunts me

Chapter 49
Red-hot coals were continuously poured into the dry well, sparks splashed everywhere.

The flames burning on the side, like a winding fire snake, kept jumping up to the heights.

The smell of burning in the air is getting stronger and stronger, making it difficult for me to even breathe.

"What are you doing, let me go!"

I struggled and roared like thunder.

However, even so, they didn't listen to it at all.

The strange thing is that when I saw the grandma on the side, she didn't resist at all, but looked at the dry well quietly, with deep desolation in her eyes.

I heard the constant rattling of the charcoal fire, like bouncing musical notes.

But my heart was very heavy. At this time, I heard my grandma say, "Let my granddaughter go, I am willing to be a sacrifice instead of her."

I was completely stunned. Grandma knew that Lady Shixian was a fake, and that these villagers were committing crimes in vain, but she said something like this...

The hot and dry air around me rushed into my head in an instant, making me feel restless.

"Old woman, not only you, but your granddaughter also don't want to run away!"

The strong man holding grandma said something, with deep hatred in his eyes.

They must have attributed all the murders that happened in the village to us, so they hate us so much.

"Let's start the ceremony!"

The village head ordered indifferently, and someone immediately tied us to a cross-shaped wooden frame.

My resistance was completely in vain. When the thick hemp rope bound my body tightly, my whole body almost collapsed.

"Village Chief, you are so reckless about human life, what is it that you are fascinated by?"

I roared so loudly that my throat was almost broken.

Not long after, I saw the village head slowly walking towards me step by step.

When he walked to my side, reflecting the firelight, I saw a deep smile slowly appear on his old wrinkled face.

"I'm in vain?" He laughed. "If it wasn't for your arrival, so many people would not have died in our village."

"You put the blame on others, which is simply deceiving yourself!"

I was so angry that my whole body was trembling, every word came out of my throat.

At this time, the village head suddenly sneered, and in the red firelight, I saw his white teeth, which was terrifying.

He said: "20 years ago, if it wasn't for your parents who robbed Empress Shixian's tomb in the name of geological exploration, Empress Shixian would not have been angry at all. Seven people died in our village that year. That's the eternal nightmare of our village."

The scorching flames roasted me, but what kept coming out of my body was cold sweat.

I can imagine how terrifying it would be for seven people to suddenly die one after another in a peaceful small village.

It suddenly occurred to me that maybe it was because my parents released a wraith from the cemetery, and the wraith entered the bronze mirror, which led to this disaster...

At this moment, I finally understood why grandma didn't say a word, because my parents did harm the villagers unintentionally.

At this moment, something flashed through my mind quickly.

My heartbeat suddenly stopped for a few seconds before it started beating violently.

The scorching air continuously poured into my nostrils accompanied by a strong smell of burning, and the pores all over my body exploded in an instant.

seven people……

Aunt Li, Doctor Wang, Big Sister Silly, Uncle Simple, Su Su...

Now only five people have died in the village, that is to say, my grandma and I are the sixth and seventh...

A deep fear emerged in an instant, like a tiny electric current, circulating along my blood to all limbs and bones.

"Yes, burn them to death!"

"Burn them!"

……

Villagers stood up with torches and shouted loudly. The shouts pierced the sky and echoed in every corner of the village.

The village chief raised his hand, and everyone fell silent immediately.

Then, he turned his face slowly and looked at me with a terrifying look, as if he was about to tear my body into pieces.

"Whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, I think you guys know better than me. The corpses of Aunt Li and Doctor Wang, Uncle Han and Susu haven't been buried. Did you push the corpses into this dry well?"

I don't know where the courage came from, and I looked at the village chief without fear.

"Yes, Teacher Liu, you are very smart."

The village head nodded, and slowly stamped out a little spark that jumped up to him.

"They are all sacrifices to Empress Shixian. I threw them into the well and covered them with charcoal fire... Only in this way can the public anger be appeased."

At that moment, I saw the village chief's eyes reddened by power, in order to keep his position as village chief, he used such stupid and cruel methods to treat those dumb corpses.

I suddenly remembered that Aunt Li came to see me in prison last time and told me that her body should be hidden in a very deep place, she could feel the scorching air around her, the air was scorching hot, And the stench of corruption.

She said that she guessed that it would not be long before her body would disappear from this world...

Thinking of this, goosebumps popped up all over my body in an instant. Although the air was scorching hot all around, I could feel a deep chill slowly invading my heart.

The cold feeling was like falling into a bottomless ice cellar, which made me tremble uncontrollably.

I can imagine that the top and bottom are covered with charcoal fire, and the bright red flesh is sandwiched in the middle, just like a barbecue on a barbecue stall, forcibly roasting, scorching, and roasting a corpse into ashes...

No wonder I saw Aunt Li's ghost in this well. It turned out that they used soil as a cover in the well, but underneath it was a red charcoal fire and a scorched corpse!
My heart was throbbing violently, and a feeling of nausea surged up in an instant.

I stared at the village chief with fiery eyes. At this moment, I saw his completely distorted face, which looked extremely ugly against the firelight.

All of a sudden, I laughed, and tears blurred my eyes, and I asked him, "What's the difference between you and the devil doing this?"

But he waved his hand with a cold attitude: "We are saving you."

As soon as he finished speaking, another basket of burning charcoal was poured into the mouth of the well. The moment the charcoal fire entered the well, there was a crackling sound, just like my messy heart at the moment.

After a while, the villagers surrounded the mouth of the well, and the hemp rope on my body was loosened.

My body quickly collapsed like a deflated ball, but they escorted me to the mouth of the well.

The scorching air rushed towards my face, and I hurriedly took a look into the well. The red charcoal fire was like hot magma.

"You crazy bastards!"

I screamed, resisting with all my strength.

But the hand that held me tightly was like a steel nail hitting my shoulder, making me unable to move at all.

Almost half of my body was pushed into the well, the hot air burned my face, I felt like I was going to die...

Suddenly, there was a strong wind all around.

The pile of firewood that was able to jump out of the roof just now was extinguished in an instant as if someone had poured cold water on it.

The cold air swept in, causing my body, which was scorching hot, to suddenly drop in temperature.

In just a split second, the arm that tightly clasped me seemed to be broken and left me.

A pleasant fragrance spread over the face, like sawdust hidden in a drawer.

I leaned tightly in a solid embrace, which was cold but warmed my heart slightly.

"Ah Lang, you finally came to save me."

I was hugged horizontally by A Lang, floating in mid-air, his moon white robe was slightly opened, revealing his strong chest muscles.

The long hair like a waterfall flutters in the wind, like flowing ink painting.

I saw his handsome face again, his eyes as bright as shooting stars were instantly coated with a layer of purple brilliance, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing a pair of long and sharp fangs.

At that moment, I actually saw wet blood on the corner of his mouth, he... actually sucked blood!
A Lang slowly put me down, and his sharp hawk-like eyes fell on the village chief and the village names.

"Zombie... Zombie..." Someone shouted loudly.

I saw a smile on the corner of A Lang's mouth, it was a domineering smile that despised everything.

There was a chilling impulse in his purple pupils, and his thick arms almost tore through his clothes, as if there was a power to swallow everything.

He raised his hand slightly, and the nails like steel knives grew out of his fingertips in an instant, as if to tear everything apart.

The villagers ran around in a panic, but A Lang just slowly held his palms, and the villagers suddenly gathered together as if they were attracted by a strong suction.

"Help!"

There were calls for help one after another, and some people even shouted, "Why are there zombies in the village!"

In the blink of an eye, I saw A Lang teleport to the village chief's side, his nails as long as steel knives tightly grasping the village chief's neck.

"Women who dare to touch me, I will let all of you in the village be buried together!"

At this time, I saw Ah Lang slowly opened his mouth, and his white fangs looked extremely terrifying under the faint firelight.

The village chief was too frightened to make a sound, his legs were shaking like chaff, and his wide eyes shone on A Lang's face like light bulbs, with protruding eyeballs.

At this moment, A Lang's head slowly approached the village chief's neck, and the long fangs were about to penetrate the village chief's blood vessel.

"Don't... Ah Lang, calm down. Although they all deserve death, don't be a murderer."

I almost tried my best and shouted at A Lang.

However, A Lang's desire for blood at this moment has far exceeded my estimation.

Just when I thought he was about to lose control of himself, he suddenly pushed the village chief away like crazy, and his long nails left a bright red scratch on the village chief's body.

The village chief's already emaciated body trembled in the dark wind, and the dazzling blood red smeared on his clothes in an instant.
