What kind of face is this?

The skin showed a strange carbon color, without any flesh and blood. At first glance, it looked like a piece of dry skin covering the bones. There were damage on both sides of the cheek, as if it had been gnawed by ants, and they were densely covered with ants.

There are tiny holes, and the eyes are stuck in the eye sockets like two rotten blisters.

Such a face was suddenly thrown in front of me without any warning, which was indeed a bit ferocious and terrifying.

For a moment, I felt hairy all over, but now my mental endurance is much stronger. The ferocious appearance of these things alone cannot scare me. Almost out of instinct, I immediately touched the Tianguan Blade with one hand and stepped back continuously at the same time.

Put some distance between you and the other person.

Immediately, my heart moved. After all, I did not pull out the Tianguan Blade. When I retreated, I sat down on the ground and screamed in horror...

The ghost old man rolled his rotten eyes, and his face twitched, as if he was smiling, but this smile was a bit too ugly, and his rotten face was like a bulging rag, and it was shaking like a bulging rag.

The big toad was only angry, but soon he put on his hat and retreated into the darkness again.

"If you get a strange disease, don't take it personally."

The ghost old man laughed eerily "hehehe" a few times and said: "I just want to remind you that the road in the village has not been repaired for many years. It is difficult to walk after it snows. Especially when entering the village, it is uphill and it is easy to

It was an accident. I didn’t expect it to scare you. I’m really sorry.”

He kept apologizing, but there was no trace of embarrassment in his expression.

As a person who has been frightened, of course he will not stand up and continue to discuss the strange disease with the other party calmly at this time. He should stay as far away from the monster in his eyes as possible.

It's a full set of acting.

This is the basic accomplishment of an actor.

I did not tangle with the other party, but rolled and crawled, stumbling and escaping towards the village. I was in panic all day long, seeing that the distance between me and the other party was getting farther and farther, but the other party did not catch up, and I kept shrinking in the darkness at the end of the village.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.

Obviously, this was just a test by the old ghost. He couldn't see what I was really like, so he could only judge by my first reaction after meeting the ghost!

Because, at the moment when I was about to fight back, the other party showed no murderous intention to persecute me, but if I exposed myself, the outcome would be hard to say.

That's why I stopped.

To be fair, if we were to fight face to face, I might not be afraid of him, but I don’t know what will happen after the fight and what I will face.

I was not mentally prepared for this. Being a grandson is a very good choice.

When I returned to my residence, I took a look at Anru's house. It was still dark and there was no movement at all.

It seemed that she had no idea about the silent confrontation between me and the ghost old man, and was just an ordinary woman.

The night was already stressful enough, and I didn't want to cause any more trouble, so I returned to the house honestly. But after I lay down on the big bed, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and my mind was filled with what Qingzhu said to me.

This place was created by one person, and ended up with one person, creating a cause and effect of its own.

What does this sentence mean?

What exactly happened in this place?

Does the person she's talking about mean An Ru?

Or, Xiaomi and her ghost grandpa?

I've racked my brain and can't come up with an answer.

However, one thing is certain - Xiaomi will not harm me, and the path she pointed out is exactly the same as that pointed out by Qingzhu!

"I don't know how Master is doing."

I hugged the back of my head and stared blankly at the dilapidated roof, muttering to myself: "Qingzhu said that his crisis came from me, and the way to resolve it is also mine. Could it be that Li Guan's creditor came to his door?"

Already?"

I can't draw any conclusions about these things just based on my wishful thinking. I only know that my master needs me now!

Originally, out of a repayment mentality that I owed others, I was somewhat resistant to leaving here without saying a word, but when it came to my master, I couldn't control that much, so I secretly made up my mind to find an opportunity.

Just run away from here.

It wasn't until dawn that I fell asleep in a daze, but I didn't sleep deeply. I woke up at about eight or nine o'clock in the morning.

I have summarized Anru's activity pattern. She gets up very early every day, leaves at this time after breakfast, and then comes back before lunch. In the afternoon, she is basically at home, sitting in front of the door and rubbing corn.

, while staring at the distant mountains shrouded in thick fog.

She is like the moon guarding the earth, making an unchanging circular motion day after day, never changing.

Calculating the time, she should have left at this time.

I put on my clothes and went to the ground, lying in front of the window and watching for a long time. I was convinced that Anru was no longer in her house, and there was no sign of her in the courtyard as far as I could see. Then I hurriedly brought the wind chimes and Tianguan.

I was about to go out and step on the spot to facilitate my movement at night. However, the moment I opened the door, a bright smiling face appeared in front of me. It was obvious that the owner of this face had saved my life, and he also looked pure and pretty. At this time, he did not

He didn't show any hostility, but... in my eyes, it turned out to be so terrifying!

Those who cannot understand the depth are the most terrifying!

I subconsciously took a step back.

An Ru looked at me with a smile, her hands behind her back, she looked particularly playful, her eyes looked up and down on me, and then she asked softly: "Brother Jingzhe? Where are you going?"

"

"Uh...I..."

I opened my mouth and stammered: "The room is very stuffy. I want to go out for a walk."

An Ru turned away slightly, meaning I could go out.

But I have long been confused. Whether facing Xiaomi or the old ghost, I can maintain basic composure. I can’t say that I can advance and retreat calmly. At least I can deal with it appropriately. But at this time, I am already so confused that I can no longer make any decisions.

The right decision, I responded with a few vague words, saying that I suddenly felt uncomfortable and didn't want to go out. After getting the other person's permission to let me rest, I immediately retreated into the house.

Bang!

The moment the door closed, I leaned against the door, panting violently. When I calmed down a little, I realized that my legs were shaking like chaff.

A real master of horror once said that the horror scenes that can truly make people tremble, unforgettable, and even shadow their lives are not flesh and blood or hideous and terrifying images, but... the unknown in their hearts.

.

I think I have probably experienced this highest level of terror!

She...is spying on me!

But, why?

If she wants to harm me, she doesn't seem to have any trouble. She just needs to ignore me. Sooner or later, I will be punished by the sky and be destroyed physically and mentally. In other words, if she simply wants to enjoy the pleasure of killing, when I am unconscious and exhausted,

She also has plenty of opportunities.

But she didn't, she saved me and took good care of me...

This is so weird!!

In the past, I regarded this as kindness and the kind part of her humanity, but now it seems like...

It's like keeping a pet!

As far as I know, the vast majority of pet owners are not really obsessed with the furry appearance of their pets. Nine times out of ten, they come from loneliness and eternal emptiness. If the world and their kind disappoint them, then they can only

All feelings are devoted to the weak who are unable to abandon themselves, and careful care and dedication, and being able to be relied on in return, sometimes... is actually a poison more deadly and difficult to deal with than the poppy.

I also know what cruel and terrible things the master will do when a weak person who can only rely on himself chooses to be independent.

It took me a long time to calm down. After thinking about it carefully, I fell into dormancy and temptation.

It turns out that Anru is indeed spying on me!!

If the last time I opened the door to see her was by chance, then throughout the morning, I opened the door three or four times in a row, and every time she appeared in front of me on time, isn't it enough to explain something?

Later, I gradually calmed down. When I opened the door and saw Anru, as usual, I treated her as a simple little girl and greeted her with a smile. When I saw that she was fine and dazed, I would sit down and chat with her.

, talk about the outside world and the novel things happening now.

She said, it's so nice outside.

Then, I found the right opportunity and said, my relatives and friends are outside, and the injury is almost healed now, can you send me out of the village?

I remember she promised me that she would send me away when I recovered from my injury.

However, when it came to this moment, after a short silence, she suddenly stood up, smiled and asked me if I was hungry.

I was stunned, patted my belly, and said with a smile, I was indeed a little hungry.

Everything was uncovered without leaving any trace.

When the time came at night, I was surprised to find that the lights in Anru's room, which was always dark at night, suddenly turned on, and they never went out all night!!

I stared at it all night. On the second day, I finally couldn't bear it anymore. I didn't sleep well for two days and two nights. When the sleepiness swept over me, I fell asleep in the dark. When I woke up again, it was already the second time.

Late at night, Anru's room was still lit...

"It really feels like a life-and-death contract!"
