Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Gu Huai saw that when the old lady was walking, her neck stretched and retracted like a rooster.

Every time she stretched her neck, she would spray a pile of transparent liquid on the ground.The liquid poured out from the old lady's opened mouth, not like saliva, but like river water spit out by a drowning person.

Gu Huai shuddered, and hurriedly pushed Lan Yuyan to wake him up.

Lan Yuyan opened her eyes in a daze, saw Gu Huai's earthy face, and jumped up: "What's wrong?"

With a trembling voice, Gu Huai told Lan Yuyan what he had just seen, and pointed to the window.

Gu Huai clearly saw that when Lan Yuyan heard that there was a resentful soul in this house, her eyes lit up obviously.It's like a beast that has been hungry for a long time, hearing that there is a fresh and plump rabbit hopping not far away.

Lan Yuyan patted Gu Huai on the shoulder, got up and walked straight to the door, but was stopped by Gu Huai.

Gu Huai grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Lan Yuyan hugged Gu Huai with a smile, ruffled his hair, and said, "What are you afraid of? I'll meet that ghost. You can't even trust me, don't worry."

A trace of unreasonable fear suddenly rose in Gu Huai's heart.

Lan Yuyan hugged him with one hand, and opened the door violently with the other.

At the same time, several shrill screams sounded.

The two of them saw that the old lady in red had moved to the door of the opposite room.The door of that room was wide open, and on the floor lay some maids and a young woman in disheveled clothes.

That young woman was exactly the woman standing beside Song Yushu when they first met Song Yushu.

The two stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of them. The old lady in red turned her head and showed a relieved smile.

Lan Yu smoked a bone whip and was about to swing it at the old lady, but was stopped by Gu Huai.

Gu Huai took his arm and said to him, "She doesn't seem to intend to hurt us."

Lan Yuyan stopped waving her whip, and stood in front of Gu Huai, looking warily at the resentful soul whose footsteps were flimsy.

The resentful soul stood in the middle of the yard swaying, raised his foot and walked eastward.

Gu Huai said to Lan Yuyan: "Erqing, hurry up and follow that ghost, don't let her continue to hurt people. I'll go see what happened to the person who fell on the ground over there."

Lan Yuyan nodded and said, "You must be careful."

After that, he turned around and followed the footsteps of the old lady.

Gu Huai yelled for someone to come, while stepping forward to check the condition of the fallen people.

Those maids are still angry, it seems that they just passed out.And that young woman lay convulsively and twisted on the ground, her expression was strange and painful, her eyes were wide open, as if the eyeballs were about to leave their sockets in a second.

Gu Huai sighed, it seemed that this woman had already died thoroughly, and she had endured great pain before she died.

Song Yushu and the servants of the Song Mansion quickly responded, and when they saw the tragic death of the woman, their wailing resounded through the sky.

Gu Huai cooperated with several servants to rescue the comatose maids in a hurry. After the maids woke up, they talked about what happened just now.

Song Yushu fell to the ground with a pale complexion, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and he couldn't stop muttering: "Is it finally here? My retribution."

After all, his eyes fainted.

Gu Huai was taken aback, and hurriedly supported Song Yushu who was about to fall to the ground. While holding him down, he called anxiously: "Uncle Song, Uncle Song! Go and call the doctor!"

Song Yushu rolled his eyes for a few seconds before waking up leisurely.Standing up with Gu Huai's support, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

He closed his eyes and stood silently for a moment, a few tears dripping from the corners of his eyes.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, pointed at a piece of land in the yard like crazy, and shouted: "Dig, dig this place for me!"

The servants of the mansion hurried to fetch some shovels, and a group of people surrounded the land and dug desperately.The sound of shovels hitting the ground echoed in the yard.

Not long after, a rancid smell wafted from the land, and there were waves of vomiting in the courtyard.

When the sky turned from dark to red, those servants suddenly shouted in horror: "Come out, dig it out!"

After speaking, they fled in all directions, lying on the side throwing up.

Gu Huai stepped forward to take a look, and saw a swollen female corpse lying in the deep pit.The corpse's clothes were torn apart by limbs that had swollen to several times its size, and hung on its body like strips of cloth.

He also found that the face of the corpse was exactly the same as that of the resentful old lady.In addition, the remains of the corpse were so serene, with a hint of ruddy complexion, and a slight hook on the corners of the mouth, with a faint smile.

Song Yushu looked at the corpse condescendingly, and slowly uttered a sentence: "Mother-in-law, you have come to seek revenge on me after all. But there is a debtor, and if you want to kill me, I, Song Yushu, have nothing to say, but ...but how can you hurt my Yinger."

"Then, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people."

Gu Huai asked Song Yushu: "Uncle Song, what's going on?"

Song Yushu didn't answer him, but just stared at the swollen corpse, gritted his teeth and said, "Smash her, smash her to pieces!"

The servants in the mansion responded in unison, and then raised their shovels and slammed them down on the corpse.

When the shovel fell down, the corpse was like a water polo that was suddenly punctured, ejecting a slightly darkened transparent liquid.

An ominous premonition arose in Gu Huai's heart, and he shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, don't get in that black water!"

However, it was still a step too late.Those servants with shovels were splashed directly on their faces by the water, covering their faces and let out a heart-piercing wail.

They rolled around in pain on the ground, the skin on their faces gradually shrank, and finally turned into a layer of scorched black skin, sticking dryly to their faces.

The area of ​​scorched black dry skin was getting bigger and bigger, and it spread to the whole body in a short while.As a result, the originally plump and robust person shrank to half of its original size in an instant, curled up in a black mass on the ground, and gradually died amidst screams.

The people in the courtyard looked at what was happening in front of them with ashen faces.In an instant, screams rang out, and people rushed to the gate.

More and more black water overflowed from the corpse, and seemed to be ordered to flow to the door, tightly blocking people's way.

Seeing the puddle of water in front of the gate and the crowd rushing past, Gu Huai shouted with all his strength: "Don't go there!! The black water is blocking the gate!"

Yet his voice was drowned out by the screams of the crowd, and one by one they stepped into the water, splashing water onto their exposed skin.
