no soul

The pear petals are in succession, the snow-white color stretches over an acre of land, and the fragrance of the flowers is light.

The two stepped on the ground and walked among the petals.

Lin Hong has been watching all the way, and there seems to be nothing unusual about this sea of ​​pear blossoms.

"I think this Ghost Fang is too peaceful." Lin Hong thought, "I always feel that it is a little different from the Ghost Fang we met before."

"Why is it different?" Wan Guchuan brushed off the pear petals on his shoulders.

"I can't tell..." Lin Hong continued to analyze, "The complaining ghost should be the flute player, right? There is a vast sea of ​​ghosts, and he seems to be the only one who is more independent."

"Yes." Wan Guchuan agreed.

"..." Wan Guchuan has been passive and sabotage in this ghost place for not a day or two, and Lin Hong is used to it.In fact, if those ghosts hadn't taken action now, he would also want to strike.

It was dusk, and the two turned back from the woods.

Lin Hong's stomach was already so hungry that he played music, and he only ate a steamed bun at noon.If you want to find another disadvantage of staying in this ghost place, it must be that the food is too bad-you can see that bitter wild vegetable on the table every day.Lin Hong's face turned green.

Grandma Liu was delighted to watch them eat, "It's so good to see you, it reminds me of my son."

"I just hope that this war will end quickly so that my son can come home!"

"I'll be back soon." Lin Hong comforted her.

"I hope! The officials should try to persuade the adults in the court to stop fighting soon! Live in peace!" Nanny Liu went out with a sigh.

"That's right! Stop beating and live in peace." Lin Hong picked up a chopstick of wild vegetables and put them in the bowl of Wan Gu Chuan.

"The enemy army is coming, so you can live in peace if you don't fight." Wan Guchuan ate the wild vegetables and gruel.

Another wild vegetable feast is over.

"I don't want to eat wild vegetables anymore, it's so bitter." Lin Hong wanted to cry but had no tears.

Wan Guchuan raised his eyebrows, "I wonder if those dead animals in the forest can be hunted and eaten?"

Lin Hong:? "Forget it bro..."

Wan Guchuan laughed, "I'll make you a rabbit tomorrow."

It's too quiet tonight.

Lin Hong lay on the bed thinking.

He closed his eyes, immersed in the darkness, and there was no sound in his ears.

There should be some movement in time.

Lin Hong was a little flustered, the dream last night was so real... He moved his hands under the quilt, touched Wan Guchuan's finger fumblingly, stretched it out and held it, so that he could feel a little more at ease.

Have these ghosts stopped?

Lin Hong felt that things were not that simple...

Just as he was thinking, he felt something soft brush against the toe of his shoe.

motherfucker...

Lin Hong had goosebumps.

They were going to the Piper tonight, so they lay in their clothes and their shoes on.

Through the shoes, Lin Hong wasn't sure whether the soft thing was fabric or hair—but he knew that "someone" was coming...

Unable to see, Lin Hong focused all his attention on his ears, and he was listening carefully.

However, after listening for a while, there was really no sound at all.

The more peaceful it was, the more flustered Lin Hong became, and he grasped Wan Guchuan's hand tightly.

The night was a little scorching, and Lin Hong felt that as long as he moved, the fire would start a prairie fire.

Something's wrong—the hand he's holding doesn't react at all...

Lin Hong's heartbeat rose sharply, and he didn't dare to move too much in the bed for fear of disturbing the quilt. He tried to move his hand again, but Wan Guchuan didn't respond at all.

He yelled Wan Guchuan frantically in his heart.

Nothing will happen, will it?Lin Hong wanted to open his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt another hand holding his wrist.

Lin Hong was stunned.

This hand belongs to Wan Guchuan!

So...whose hand is he holding...

A chill spread from the heart to the whole body.

He didn't dare to move, knowing that there was something wrong with that hand, but he couldn't let go.

There was no movement around, and the silence was about to suffocate him.

Lin Hong didn't move, but the hand was pulled away bit by bit...

With his palms empty, Lin Hong broke out in a cold sweat.

Wan Guchuan's hand was still holding onto his wrist.

Lin Hong breathed calmly, and gently moved his wrist to signal Wan Guchuan.

His heartbeat that had just been calm came up again... The hand holding his wrist didn't respond at all.

He moved again tentatively—the hand still didn't respond.

Thoughts raced quickly.

This is not Wan Guchuan's hand either!

There was a "buzz" in Lin Hong's head, which made him dizzy.

What about Wanguchuan?how is he...

Lin Hong felt that he couldn't bear it any longer, and the hand he was holding suddenly twisted, trying to reach Wan Guchuan lying beside him, but who knew that the hand holding him was so strong that he couldn't move at all!

Lin Hong opened his eyes.

Seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he felt chills all over his body...

There are "people" standing around the bed.

Silent in the night, standing at the end of the bed, watching them quietly.

The window was above his head, and the moonlight shone in so palely that he could even see the eyes of everyone in front of him.

Damn!

It turned out that there was no sound all the time because they were standing at the end of the bed and watching them!

Wan Guchuan seemed to have opened his eyes together with him, reacting very quickly, grabbed the sword beside him and smashed the window.

"Go!" He took Lin Hong's arm and pulled him up.

Lin Hong was still a little dazed, the hand holding his wrist had disappeared at some point, Wan Guchuan grabbed his waist and led him out of the window.

Lin Hong stumbled and stabilized his feet, and Wan Guchuan pulled him to continue running forward.

"Go to the woods." Lin Hong said.The Piper is in the wood, and he must be found.

Wan Guchuan obeyed.

Lin Hong glanced back, those "people" did not catch up, but just stood there and looked at them.

The cottages were filled with black shadows, all standing still in place.

Lin Hong felt that there were nearly a hundred pairs of eyes staring at them in the night.

Something is wrong... Didn't you chase after him the day before yesterday?

Lin Hong's eyes were swaying because of running. He actually couldn't see the expressions of those "people" clearly, but I don't know if it was because the atmosphere was too weird. In the hazy moonlight, Lin Hong always felt that these "people" were laughing... …

Why?Waiting for them to enter the woods?Can't you go into the woods?

Lin Hong turned around but almost bumped into Wan Guchuan's back, "Why did you stop?" He was stunned when he looked forward—they were obviously running towards the forest, but the scene in front of him was that he looked back. cottages.

Wan Guchuan frowned, "Can't enter the forest."

When Lin Hong turned his head, it was still a cottage.

They cannot face the woods, they cannot enter the woods.

Those "human" figures started to move, approaching them bit by bit.

They can't go back at all.

Wan Guchuan pulled out the Zuigu sword.

Lin Hong panted, looking warily at the "people" who were slowly approaching around him.

The night was thick, and there was a dead silence all around.

The "people" group suddenly rioted!Pounced on them!

This is a group of hungry people in the war, a lonely soul who has been displaced, and a vicious ghost with hatred for the country and the family.

The two of them had no way to retreat now, they were surrounded, and "people" came from all directions.

Wan Guchuan pulled Lin Hong past him, and stretched out the horizontal sword, which got stuck in the open mouth of the "person" who was rushing towards him.Blood splattered everywhere!The upper half of the "person"'s head was separated, and it flew out by brushing Lin Hong's ear!

The rest of the body moved slowly, but it was still reaching out to grab Lin Hong.

Wan Guchuan's sword was dealing with the people who rushed forward from the other side.Lin Hong kicked that body, but more and more angry ghosts surrounded him, and he didn't dare to kick it anymore...

The sword in Wan Guchuan's hand was fast and fierce. Lin Hong listened to the sound of cutting flesh and saw the blood and the fragments of unknown parts of the human body flying out. ...

Those human body parts can still move on the ground, so they can't kill them at all, they can only force them back.

Wan Guchuan held Lin Hong with one hand and swung his sword with the other, clearing out a safe zone in the dense crowd.

The group of "people" was still rushing towards them, there was no way to go on like this, Lin Hong was thinking about what to do.

Just at that time, the melodious sound of the flute came as promised, and the sound flowed in the night.

The movements of those "people" obviously stopped.

Tears welled up in Lin Hong's eyes, and he felt that this piece of music was simply the sound of nature, better than all the music in the world.

In the blink of an eye, all the "people" in front of him disappeared.

The night was long, and the village was empty, with no traces to be found, not even a drop of blood, as if it was just their illusion.

Wan Guchuan put away his sword.

"Are you injured?" Lin Hong's heartbeat has not yet calmed down.

"No." Wan Guchuan squeezed his hand, "What about you?"

"I'm fine." Lin Hong looked back at the forest that had returned to normal, "Follow the sound to find the flute player."

The sound of the flute spread out in the forest, and it was difficult for them to hear the sound to distinguish the direction. Coupled with the limited night vision and the winding path in the forest, it took them a lot of effort to feel that the sound of the flute was gradually approaching.

"Hurry up, we won't be able to find him when he stops blowing, and we have to wait until tomorrow night." Lin Hong was afraid that those ghosts would be even more rampant tomorrow night, and he didn't know what other means were waiting for them...

Wan Guchuan obviously didn't care whether he could find it, "Be careful where you step." He grabbed Lin Hong, fearing that he might fall.

"It seems to be there." Lin Hong pointed to a place ahead.

By the moonlight, there was a figure standing there.

It is not clear whether the Piper is an enemy or a friend. They dare not act rashly and can only approach that shadow cautiously.

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

Lin Hong was afraid that he had spotted them, so he stopped immediately.

The piper, however, seemed to have simply finished his playing and was leaving.

"He's leaving!" Lin Hong pulled Wan Guchuan and chased after him, only to see a figure from the back, turning behind a tree and disappearing.

The back is burly, but the stature is a bit wrong, is the head lowered?

They searched around for a long time but found nothing.

On the way, Lin Hong told Wan Guchuan that he grabbed two hands that didn't belong to him under the bed.

"Me too." Wan Guchuan said, "I thought it was yours, but after holding it for a long time, I found out it wasn't."

So these ghosts are just playing tricks to force them to open their eyes.

Intuition told Lin Hong that they must find the Piper!

They searched for the Piper in the woods.

Lin Hong was unconvinced and forced himself to touch the sky until his belly turned white.

"Tsk, I haven't seen that flute player again." Lin Hong is very sad now, how will he live tonight...

"Don't worry, eat rabbits." Wan Guchuan did what he said, and walked up the path with a struggling rabbit in his hand.

Lin Hong was amazed, this rabbit should be real and alive, not a "living dead rabbit". "How did you catch the rabbit so fast without a bow and arrow? Are you waiting for the rabbit?"

Wan Guchuan: "What nonsense. Eat."

eat!Lin Hong finally doesn't have to eat that wild vegetable!

The village is not rich, and Grandma Liu's house doesn't even have oil, so the rabbit can't be braised in soy sauce, so it can only be eaten roasted.

Wan Guchuan washed his bloody hands after handling the rabbit, while Lin Hong watched as Madam Liu rubbed spices on the rabbit that had lost its skin, flesh and internal organs.

There is no shortage of spices in the mountains, but unfortunately there is no salt. How can we ask for salt in troubled times!

But it's almost meaningless without salt.Lin Hong pouted.

In any case, the roasted rabbit is always more fragrant than the broken wild vegetables.Even after eating bitter wild vegetables and gruel for several days, this roasted rabbit with no salt, Lin Hong, tasted like a delicacy from mountains and seas, which was a feast for the teeth.

Lin Hong was gnawing on the rabbit's leg, and a piece of bone fell down. It just happened to fall into the hot soup, and the soup splashed on his neck!

"Hey!"

"Ouch!!" Nanny Liu yelled louder than Lin Hong, "It's burning! Hurry up! Apply cold water!" She grabbed a rag beside him, dipped it in cold water, and rushed to his side.

"Where is it hot? Apply it quickly!" Mammy Liu took a veil soaked in cold water and applied it to his scalded area.

She was so excited that Wan Guchuan didn't recover from being pushed aside by her.

"It's okay, it's not serious." Lin Hong took the wet rag from Nanny Liu.

"Hey! You young people are just careless! My son's neck was scalded before, the wound was infected, and he had a high fever for several days! Afterwards, he recovered, but the scar was so ugly." Liu Nanny was emotional, "Be careful!"

"I know." Lin Hong was a little embarrassed.

"Is it serious? Let me see." Wan Guchuan pulled his hand.

Fortunately, it was only hot red, and the skin was not broken.

Lin Hong felt Wan Guchuan blowing on the burn.Pfft, kinda...cute.Lin Hong pursed his lips and touched the bridge of his nose.

Wan Guchuan gave him some scalding medicine, and Liu Mama was always at the side trying to persuade him, it seemed that he was frightened by his son's scalding before.

After taking the medicine, Lin Hong continued to eat his rabbit.

"Eat slowly, no one will grab you." Wan Guchuan moved the bowl of soup away for him.

Grandma Liu doesn't eat rabbit meat, and Wan Guchuan insists on not eating it either.Lin Hong finished the whole rabbit by himself.

He barely slept last night. After eating and drinking enough, Lin Hong became sleepy. "Are you sleepy?" He asked Wan Guchuan.

"good."

"Sleep with me for a while." Lin Hong hooked his fingers hanging by his side.
