Chapter 63: Lantern Festival's Corpse
I immediately jumped off the grave and when I reached that position, I couldn't help but scream because I saw Yuanxiao lying on the ground with his head tilted aside. I was confused. When did Yuanxiao fight here? Didn't he enter the woods? Did he return here after returning from the woods?
I quickly ran to his side, and I reached out to pull Yuanxiao but found that he had no reaction at all. I was startled and subconsciously reached out to explore Yuanxiao's breath.
In an instant, I felt like I was struck by lightning, and Lanxiao was no longer breathing! I fell to the ground all of a sudden. I was stunned for a second, and I was about to pounce on Lanxiao's body and shouted his name, "Lanxiao! Lanxiao!!"
My hands touched the skin of Yuanxiao, and I felt a chill. I turned Yuanxiao over and saw a clear handprint on his neck. It was obvious that something was choking the neck. And the force was extremely strong. At this time, purple-black patches appeared on the skin of Yuanxiao's neck, and there were some white hairs next to the patches.
Seeing this, I was shocked. Could it be that the white-haired rice dumpling in the tomb had already come out? I looked at the hole on the ground next to the grave and felt extremely uneasy. I grabbed Yuanxiao and dragged him aside hard. Then, using the first aid knowledge I learned when I was in school, I untied the clothes on Yuanxiao's chest and started to sit for Yuanxiao's CPR.
My mind was buzzing at this moment. I never thought that Yuanxiao would die in front of me like this. I pressed his chest while shouting, "Lanxiao! Your uncle! You can't die!! Wake up quickly!!"
My hands touched Yuanxiao's increasingly cold chest, and my heart was like a knife twisting. I hope that a miracle would happen, and I could feel the beating of Yuanxiao's chest.
Suddenly, I realized a problem. Based on the body temperature of Lanxiao at this time and the purple-black patches on his neck, it can be judged that he was definitely not dead just now. However, about ten minutes ago, he had just disappeared from my vision!
Why did he die here in just ten minutes?
There are only two possibilities for this situation. First, after Lantern Festival disappeared from my sight with a flashlight, he immediately returned here, and then he came to the entrance of the cave in the grave, and was instantly killed by the white-haired rice dumplings inside. This possibility sounds a bit strange, and I don’t think it’s very likely.
As for this second possibility, I was immediately scared to death when I thought about it. I still remember that after Lanxiao stabbed a tree branch into the hole next to the grave, I discussed a new solution with him. Then I turned around and walked away. At that time, my attention was attracted by the extinguished paper man and I didn't pay attention to the situation behind me. Lanxiao was still next to this hole at that time.
It was not until I heard a strange sound that I turned over to check it out.
If Lantern Festival was attacked and killed at that time, it would be more logical, but a more terrifying problem would arise. If Lantern Festival had already died at that time, then who was the Lantern Festival that followed me into the woods just now!!!
Thinking of this, my whole body was trembling in an instant! I felt my whole scalp explode.
I immediately jumped up and looked around nervously. I only found that in the woods around me, there was a "Lantern Festival" waiting for an opportunity to move. Although the fog had faded again at this time, I couldn't find where it was in the dark woods!
While I was nervously guarding the surroundings, I was thinking about the identity of the fake Yuanxiao. Is it a ghost? Or the white-haired rice dumpling? But the white-haired rice dumpling has never appeared again since I stretched out one arm and made a harsh scream. Maybe all this was the trick of it? Is there any ghost? Isn’t it always said that ghosts hit the wall? I didn’t expect this rice dumpling to hit the wall? I was very angry and looked at the cave next to me and said hatefully: “When I go out, I will definitely come back. Then I will get some explosives and blow you into it!”
Just as I turned around, I suddenly seemed to see the Lantern Festival lying under my feet suddenly moved my arm. I was delighted and quickly squatted down to pat the Lantern Festival, "Lantern Festival, Lantern Festival!!" But he did not respond, and still lay straight on the ground with cold skin and no breathing. Could it be that I was wrong? Could it be that Lantern Festival was really dead like this? My nose was sore and tears burst out from my eyes, "Lantern Festival! We can all escape when facing King Shan Huan, why do you die here! Lantern Festival!"
As soon as I finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Are you calling me?"
I was startled and looked back in horror and saw a Lantern Festival standing behind me. I don’t know if it was a psychological effect. I felt that there was no trace of blood on the Lantern Festival behind me.
I quickly took two steps back, "You, what are you?"
The fake Lantern Festival showed a stiff smile, "I am Lantern Festival! You don't know me anymore? We are friends!"
I don’t have to ask anything else. With just this answer, I will even conclude that he is not Lanxiao. Lanxiao never says such words so seriously!
I cursed: "Go to your uncle! Did you kill Yuanxiao?" As I said that, I picked up a branch beside me.
The fake Lantern Festival shook his head, "The Lantern Festival lying on the ground is an illusion, I am the real Lantern Festival!"
I snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
The fake Lantern Festival smiled gloomyly, "I didn't want to do anything to you, I wanted you to take me away from here, but now you are asking for it!" As he said that, it began to approach me.
My hands holding the branches were covered with sweat. When the fake Lantern Festival arrived, I raised the branch and poked it at its neck. Unexpectedly, the fake Lantern Festival was extremely fast. Before I could see clearly, it had already grasped the branch in my hand. With a "click", the branch was broken into two pieces.
I was stunned and the fake Yuanxiao rushed over. I was caught off guard and it was too late to dodge. At this moment, some sparks flashed in my mind. I subconsciously took a deep breath and spitted at the fake Yuanxiao's face!
Although this action was a bit disgusting, I didn't expect it to be effective. My spit was impartially on the Fake Lantern Festival's face. The Fake Lantern Festival called out "Oh", covered her face with her hands, and squatted on the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I didn't dare to neglect it, so I turned around and ran into the woods.
While running, I was thinking about the scene just now. I suddenly remembered the middle school text "Song Dingbo Catching Ghosts". The original sentence: Dingbo reiterated: "I am new to die, I don't know where to be afraid of jealousy?" The ghost said: "I just don't like people to spit on you." This sentence was very impressive, and I didn't expect to use it subconsciously today.
It seems that the classical Chinese in middle school texts is not just used to memorize and handle exams. It is said that knowledge is power, but it is true that this power can be used even for the fight!
I didn't dare to turn on the flashlight. I ran in the dark woods for a while, but couldn't help but stop. I realized a problem. Because ghosts hit the wall, if I kept running like this, I would soon return to the cemetery. Maybe that fake Lantern Festival is waiting for me now. I can't do that kind of stupid thing!
So, I walked back and forth in the woods, not always staying in the same place, but I wouldn't walk out of the woods.
But staying in the woods is not a solution. After all, there is a huge guy in the faint mist of the woods. I don’t know where it is now. I carefully walked through the woods because I have been in and out many times, and I even felt familiar with some places.
I turned around and walked out from behind a big tree, and suddenly I heard a violent rustling sound from the tree in the distance. Immediately afterwards, I seemed to see the huge outline again, appearing in the mist in the distance. Damn! I cursed in my heart, where is this place? Is this tm still the earth?
I was shocked and hurriedly hid in a grass that was more than half a person tall. The grass was very dense. If I didn't get in, it would be difficult to find hiding inside.
I watched the huge outline slowly leave again through the gaps in the grass. I let out a light breath, and just as I was about to leave, I suddenly felt something touching under my feet. I thought it was a stone, but when I looked at it with the hazy moonlight, my scalp immediately became numb. This thing was not a stone at all, but a foot! And I recognized this shoe, this is the Lantern Festival shoe!
I was stiff all over. So, that fake Lantern Festival is now in the grass behind me. My heart is about to jump out of my mouth.
I moved slowly, hoping to leave here before the fake Lantern Festival discovered me. However, as I moved, the grass was rustling.
I can't care! I gritted my teeth! I jumped up and ran out. At the same time, a shout came from behind me, "Zhuoran! Is it you? Where are you going?"
This is the sound of Lantern Festival. I knew that Lantern Festival was dead. It was indeed a fake Lantern Festival that caught up with me. I ran forward without turning my head, but the more anxious I was, the less powerful my legs were. My feet suddenly tripped on a tree root that was protruding and decent, and I fell to bite the mud. This time, I fell heavily, and I immediately felt salty in my mouth and dizzy.
This was the fake Lantern Festival behind him, and he followed, grabbed me and pulled me up, "Why are you running!"
I shook him away, "Get out!"
This Lantern Festival was stunned, "You are the uncle Zhuoran, you are crazy!"
I was stunned when I heard this. I stared at the Lantern Festival in front of me, "Don't do this, Lantern Festival is dead! I saw it! I don't care who you are, get out of here!"
Yuanxiao on the opposite side frowned, "Zhuoran, have you been evil? Who died? You are dead! Your uncle, why are you cursing me for nothing?"
