Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 31 No wonder Li Hongye likes you

In the corner, a sick old dog happily licked the dumpling soup on the iron basin.

Ran Qing, who was sitting beside the sofa, was stiff and looked at Li Hongye's mother in disbelief.

The smile on the woman's face was still gentle, which made people feel trustful.

But when their bodies touched, that cold and disgusting chill continued to spread throughout Ran Qing's body.

There seemed to be many sharp and strange cries of evil spirits ringing in his ears.

“Smells good! It smells so good!”

"Eat! Eat!"

"It smells so good!"

The sharp and noisy ghost cries made Ran Qing's head almost explode. Although he was not wearing a Nuo opera mask, the screams of those evil ghosts suddenly appeared.

Ran Qing struggled to take two steps back, a look of pain on his face.

However, when Ran Qing struggled to retreat, he found that Li Hongye's mother's hand was still tightly holding his arm, and did not let go as Ran Qing retreated.

Even Li Hongye's father, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, came to Ran Qing at some point.

He grabbed Ran Qing's other arm with one hand, and a gentle smile appeared on his bespectacled face.

"Eat dumplings, Ran Qing, why don't you eat?"

Li Hongye's father smiled and grabbed a hot dumpling with his bare hands, pinching it and trying to stuff it into Ran Qing's mouth.

In the dim light in the room, Li Hongye's parents squeezed in front of Ran Qing, one on each side.

They smiled very gently, friendly and happily, but their hands were tightly grasping Ran Qing's arms.

Ran Qing felt like he was being grabbed by two lumps of ice. From where his arms were grabbed, a chilling chill spread throughout his body.

This chill chill chilled him, a ghost walker. It wasn't the same feeling as encountering an evil spirit, but it was equally terrible and terrifying.

He looked at the couple in front of him in extreme horror and struggled desperately.

The couple smiled so gently, but their gentle smiles, coupled with their faces tensed from exerting all their strength, now looked terrifying and hideous.

At this moment, Ran Qing was fully aware of the situation - there was something wrong with Li Hongye's parents!
No wonder they reacted so strangely when they saw Ran Qing coming to their house. No wonder they showed no worry or sadness even though their daughter had been missing for so long.

They are not living people at all!

Ran Qing struggled hard, but the fingers on his arm were holding him tightly like welded iron clamps, and no matter how hard Ran Qing struggled, he could not break free.

Li Hongye's father, with a gentle smile, had already grabbed the dumplings and handed them to Ran Qing's mouth, trying to force the hot dumplings into Ran Qing's mouth.

The steaming dumplings were placed against his mouth. Ran Qing could clearly feel the heat and smell the fragrance of the dumplings.

But at this time, who would dare to eat this dumpling?
Ran Qing didn't even dare to open his mouth, and clenched his teeth tightly.

He lifted his feet with force and jumped up suddenly, kicking Li Hongye's parents in the face viciously with his feet, trying to push the middle-aged couple away.

However, after his footprints left on Li Hongye's parents' faces, they didn't push the strange couple away. They seemed to be rooted in the ground, motionless. The soles of his shoes only wrinkled the skin on the faces of the middle-aged couple.

Some fine black hairs were revealed under the wrinkled skin, like a monkey.

Ran Qing's eyes suddenly widened.

Under the human skin... is there black hair?

What the hell are Li Hongye’s parents!
He was extremely terrified and had never expected such a situation.

I originally thought that Li Hongye’s parents were dead or zombies, but now they have black hair like monkeys!

Ran Qing kicked even harder, his body horizontally in mid-air, stepping on the faces of Li Hongye's parents, kicking and stomping with all his might. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the couple.

The two monsters seemed to feel no pain and remained indifferent as Ran Qing kicked them in the face madly.

Li Hongye's father even laughed out loud with ecstasy and joy.

"So lively! Ran Qing, no wonder Li Hongye likes you." Li Hongye's mother's wrinkled face also laughed: "Li Hongye has wanted to bring you home for a long time, it's a pity that you came only now."

The couple laughed happily, their eyes greedily staring at Ran Qing who was held tightly, and their mouths under the wrinkled skin began to ooze sticky saliva, as if they had seen an irresistible delicacy.

This greedy look made Ran Qing feel horrified.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the dog in the corner.

After eating the dumplings and licking the plate, the old dog was already fast asleep on the ground, with no reaction to the loud noise in the living room.

Apparently, there was something sleep-inducing in that dumpling!

Li Hongye's father laughed and stuffed the hot dumplings into Ran Qing's mouth.

Ran Qing clenched his teeth tightly and closed his mouth, but the dumpling roughly pushed open his lips and rubbed forcefully against his teeth.

The mucous membrane in his mouth felt the juice of the dumplings, and Ran Qing already felt a little dizzy.

Even if the food is not eaten, will it be effective if the juice is absorbed by the oral mucosa?

Ran Qing was extremely shocked. His struggling hands finally reached out of his school uniform pocket.

Li Hongye's parents just held on to Ran Qing tightly and did not notice the boy's hand reaching into his pocket.

The next second, Ran Qing suddenly pulled his hand out of his school uniform pocket, and a handful of incense ash exploded directly in the living room.

The couple who had been holding on to Ran Qing like an iron clamp were caught off guard and had their heads and faces covered with the incense ash.

They immediately screamed, let go of Ran Qing, and retreated in panic.

"Ah! Eyes! My eyes!"

"Damned ghost walker! It's the ghost walker's incense ashes!"

Two monsters with wrinkled faces howled miserably, their faces covered with incense ash, as if sulfuric acid had been splashed on them, and they retreated screaming in pain.

Without their grip, Ran Qing, whose body was suspended in mid-air, suddenly fell to the ground, hitting the floor heavily.

The smooth and stiff tile floor instantly hit Ran Qing, causing his body to twitch and become stiff.

The severe pain in the lower back and buttocks made Ran Qing sweat all over.

But he did not dare to relax at all. He endured the pain of his stiff body and struggled to take out the bronze mirror given by his Sixth Aunt from his pocket.

There were two pockets in the school uniform, the right pocket was stuffed with a bronze mirror, and the left pocket was stuffed with incense ash scooped from Aunt Liu's house.

Ran Qing struggled to raise his hand and pointed the bronze mirror in his hand at the two people in front of him.

The two monsters, whose faces were covered with incense, were frantically tearing at their heads and faces, trying to wipe off the incense ash on their faces and heads.

The blurry bronze mirror clearly reflected the figures of the two monsters, who were completely unprepared.

But a scene that shocked Ran Qing appeared.

Incense ash, also a tool used to deal with evil spirits, played a huge role, but when the bronze mirror was pointed at the two monsters, they were not affected at all.

This mirror doesn't work on them!

Ran Qing was stunned for a moment - the bronze mirror had clearly worked against the evil spirit before!

Ran Qing hurriedly got up, put down the schoolbag on his back, and took out the small hammer from the schoolbag.

The hammer made of bone and wooden handle was extremely light, almost weightless - this was Ran Qing's last weapon.

The moment Ran Qing took out the bone hammer, the two monsters clearly showed a hint of fear.

They subconsciously took a step back.

After seeing this scene, Ran Qing finally felt a little confident.

At least not everything Aunt Six gave me is useless!
