corpse as wife

Chapter 7

My long sleeves well concealed my swelled nails, and the mountain people probably looked at my unkempt image with pity, maybe he regarded me as a pedestrian lost in the mountains.

I watched him dragging the half-grown tiger down the mountain with difficulty, so I followed him, staring at the blood left by the dead tiger, just wanting to secretly drink some of the tiger's blood while this man wasn't paying attention .

I couldn't hold it any longer, so I picked up the blood-stained leaves on the ground and tasted them.

The twilight was heavy, and the mountain road was winding. If an outsider was like me, he would indeed get lost in the mountains. I dragged my sloppy body and walked for an hour, and the sky went from being slightly bright to completely dark.The mountain man took out something two fingers wide from the purse on his waist, and with a bang, the little thing lit up and shot the road ahead, which was much more useful than a lantern.

"Before you pay attention and concentrate, don't be afraid." The man walked in front of me and slowed down, turning around to remind me.

I nodded, thinking that of course I am not afraid, even if my intuition knows that the dark air ahead is deep, my sight is clearer in the dark night, and I can see one after another dirtbags in front of me at a glance, and I can smell rotting corpses and chemicals The smell of ashes, this must be an unusual road.

I looked from a distance, and saw a string of flames circling among the hills. The Suo Xiangling in front of me made a crisp tinkling sound in the dark night. Although they were still a hundred meters away, those will-o'-the-wisps had already escaped into the nearby hills. .

'They' are afraid of my Suo Xiangling?

The mountain people seemed to be facing a big enemy, and it seemed that we were surprised that we passed the grave mountain road safely, "When I used to walk on this road at night, that was scary. Every time I met road ghosts, I had to bleed to let them go." I'll go there. Otherwise, I will only be released after dawn."

He seemed surprised and a little excited. Although the half-big tiger in a hundred catties made him sweat, it couldn't stop his speed. Just as he was leaving the intersection, he fell to the ground with a thud.

I was about to step forward to help him up, and took the opportunity to sneak a little of the tiger's blood that was almost drained.

Unexpectedly, he got up with a grunt, holding a clay pot in his hand. The green-glazed bottom looked smooth and beautiful. I recognized that it was used for funerals.

When he picked it up, the pottery jar was intact, but when we examined it carefully, the green-glazed pottery pot fell to the ground with a thud, scattering white ash all over the place, and the mountain people seemed to be stunned.

"I didn't let go? I was very careful."

The eyes of both of us shifted from the broken tiles and a pile of white ashes to something falling from inside - a white jade bracelet inlaid with covered silver, which seemed to be the place where the connection was broken.

As far as the workmanship and material are concerned, it can only be regarded as a low-grade product in the palace, and only the maids will use this broken thing. I don't want the mountain people to treat it as a treasure, pick it up and hold it in their hands.

"Little girl, you see that when I met you today, good things happened all the time. Not only did I beat a meat tiger, but I even picked up a precious thing."

I had a stiff smile on my face, but kept silent.

"Put it back. Generally, it's better not to pick up things on the road." I'm telling the truth. In my era, many wizards used to wear evil spirits and throw them away when they accumulated a lot of evil energy. When it comes to things that are full of evil and can't be dispelled, they don't know how they died.
