In the darkness of night, Sangshui County was quiet.

The water in the ditch reflected the moonlight, making it even more deserted.

In this closed-off town, the night is always so quiet, even places like Goulan, which are supposed to have good business, seem listless for a while because of the sparse number of customers.

This is the loneliness of the small town.

At this time, Huang Si suddenly slowed down.

At the corner of the street ahead, a piece of light spilled out through the window paper, like water.

The blood there was long gone, but Huang Si still remembered that person.

The old woman who chased him that day.

At that time, she fell into the pool of blood, staring at him like a fish stranded on the shore.

He seems to have been unlucky since then.

Huang Si spit, and couldn't help cursing secretly: "Bad luck!"

After that, he quickened his pace.

The area to the west of the city is a slum area in Sangshui County, dilapidated buildings stand up disorderly, and some narrow alleys can't even penetrate the moonlight.

There was a faint smell of urine in the air, Huang Si walked into an alley with a sharp knife in his left hand.

Afterwards, he climbed over a low earthen wall.

The yard is small, and some dried vegetables with poor quality are drying under the eaves.

This is the home of the blind old woman.

Huang Si looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he drew out the sharp knife at his waist.

He had already stepped on it before, there were not many people living in this alley, and the blind old woman had no relatives, so she was not afraid of being discovered.

With a bang, the door bolt of the house was pried open.

Huang Si was a little annoyed, the left hand was indeed much clumsier than the right.

If it was the past, he would never have made such a loud noise.

The room was very quiet.

The old woman is old, not only blind, but also hard to use her ears.

Huang Si took a deep breath and entered the room, facing an unpleasant smell.

That's the smell of old people.

The house is not big, only a hall and a back room.

The door of the back room was open, and the moonlight was reflected on the window paper, and the crooked figure lying on the bed could be vaguely seen.

Huang Si gently closed the door behind him and walked there.

His footsteps were light, but there was still a crackling sound.

Until he walked into the back room, the blind old woman remained motionless.

Arriving here, the smell of the old man became more and more obvious.

Huang Si approached a little closer, wanting to confirm the condition of the old woman, but was taken aback.

Under the pale moonlight, the old woman had many brown spots on her face, which were very unsightly.

Huang Si finally understood why the old man's smell was so obvious.

That's the smell of corpses!

The old woman should have been dead on the bed for a few days, and has not been found.

Huang Si felt relieved all of a sudden.

It's best to die, and he won't bother him to find money after he dies.

After that, Huang Si rummaged through the boxes inside, and he really found more than three liang of silver.

Huang Si was in a good mood, fortunately he came early, if other people found out that the old woman was dead, then the money would not be his turn.

Finally, he set his sights on the old man's body.

On the right hand of the blind old woman, there is a finger ring, which should be inferior jade of different colors.

But after all it is worth some money.

Huang Si walked up to the old woman.

Under the moonlight, the appearance of the old woman lying on the bed can be regarded as peaceful.

If it weren't for the obvious corpse spots and the person was not breathing, Huang Si might have thought that the person was sleeping.

Huang Si stretched out his left hand to get the wrench.

He could clearly feel that the old woman's skin was wrinkled and a little disgusting.

But I don't care if I think I can exchange some silver.

Huang Si's right hand was crippled, and the finger pull was a bit tight, so it was a bit difficult for him to take it out.

Fortunately, after some rough tugging by him, the mottled jade finger was finally taken off.

After Huang Si succeeded, he was just about to go to the hall to see if there were other things that could be sold for money, but at this moment, his hand was suddenly grabbed by something.

At this moment, his scalp was about to explode.

Huang Si's throat rolled, and he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, only to find that the dead blind old woman suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his wrist.

Her eyes were covered with a white film, which was white under the moonlight.

Cheat!

The moment this idea came to mind, the old woman suddenly spoke—"Lin'er, my son, is that you?".

At this moment, Huang Si was about to shed tears.

This is not the voice of a blind old woman!

It was the old woman who was chasing after him when he fell!

At this moment, the face of the blind old woman seemed to have changed, becoming a little younger, and then, a pool of blood spread behind her head.

She just looked at him like that, staring at him firmly, like a fish stranded on the shore, exactly the same as before when it fell into a pool of blood.

At this time, the old woman's face changed again and became serious.

"You are not Lin'er, you are not Lin'er, what are you doing with my money?"

In the night, her face was so terrifying.

Huang Si pulled his hand suddenly, the skin was torn, and he broke free.

He ran out of the house screaming, "There's a ghost!"

But the night was quiet, like a silent tomb, and no one responded to him.

Huang Si panicked and ran to the street, not far behind, always followed by a slightly hunchbacked figure.

It was almost the same as that day.

He frantically knocked on the door next to him several times, shouting "Help!", but no one paid any attention to him.

Huang Si ran for five or six streets in one breath, feeling that his lungs were about to explode, and his left hand, which was scratched with bloodstains, was shaking constantly.

Only then did he realize that the shadow was no longer following him.

Huang Si remembered something and ran home in a panic.

He remembered that his old mother left him a talisman before she passed away.

It is said that it is a talisman opened by the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. As long as it is pasted on the door, it can eliminate disasters and drive away evil spirits.

Huang Si scoffed at this, but now he suddenly thought of it, and thought it was a life-saving straw.

He returned home with a look of panic, closed the door heavily, and began to rummage through the boxes.

At this time, the old lady's voice sounded outside—"Silver, give me back my silver, give me back my silver. It's the money for Lin'er's marriage."

Finally, Huang Si found the yellow talisman, and saw that there were still red runes painted on it.

He was about to stick the talisman on, but he heard a bang, and the courtyard door he had locked opened suddenly, revealing a thin figure with a hunched back.

The old woman came very fast, and Huang Si ran away.

When he ran to the backyard, he accidentally fell and broke his knee.

Behind him, the sound of the door opening kept ringing.

Huang Si limped, crawled into the hut, and threw his shoes to the corner of the wall, pretending to escape over the wall.

In a panic, he hung the yellow talisman on the curtain of the hut.

After that, Huang Si covered his mouth, not daring to let out a breath, for fear that the sound of his breathing would attract the old woman.

Outside, there was an old panting sound.

The old woman has come!

Huang Si nested in the corner of the hut, sweat ran down his forehead and into his eyes, he didn't dare to blink.

There were a little more footsteps outside the hut, and the toe of the black cloth shoe could be vaguely seen protruding there.

The talisman paper on the door was slightly shaken by the wind, and it looked like it was about to fall off at any moment.

Huang Si's whole heart could not help but hang in the air.

Fortunately, after a while, the sound of the old woman's footsteps disappeared, and they should have gone outside.

Only then did Huang Si dare to let out a breath.

He didn't know whether it was the function of the talisman, or he hid well, which made him barely recover his life.

As a result, at this moment, the moonlight above his head suddenly dimmed a little, and he couldn't help but raise his head.

The next moment, Huang Si's pupils shrank into two pitch-black dots, and his entire face was distorted and deformed by fear.

There is a transom the size of a bowl on the wall of this hut.

And the old woman was squeezing in through the narrow transom, looking like a wriggling giant worm.

"Yinzi, give me back my silver, give me back my silver! That's the money for Lin'er's marriage."

"ah!!!"
