Chapter 36.
I hurriedly put Lin Tian down, took out the knife from my pocket, and did not care about whether it was useful or not, directly jumped over towards the arm bush, raised my hand and chopped indiscriminately.
Good thing, this knife is more or less a little useful, a fierce cut, the palm of the ground was pulled out of a very long wound, skin and flesh, but there is no blood flow out, just backward for a bit.
But this effect I have been very satisfied, hastily pull Ding Ding from the ground, Ding Ding body clothes were torn a lot, the bare skin of the hand also cut open a lot of mouth, blood flow out, his white T-shirt are stained with spots.
I have never seen Tintin in such a mess, he also seemed to be scared silly, as soon as we came out of the pile of arms, he shook off my hand, and ran forward with a few steps and a fall.
I ran to the edge of the bridge to pick up Lin Tian from the back, just shouted Ding Ding wait for me.
But suddenly a huge force came from behind me, yanking me and pulling me under the bridge.
I turned my head to look, only to see the bridge under the small river, suddenly climbed out of a stream of women covered in water, pulling Lin Tian to the river, I had just put Lin Tian back on his back, the body was dragged by her a crooked, the whole person from the side of the bridge tumbled down!
Fortunately, my hand is fast, one hand tightly grasp the guardrail, Lin Tian slipped from my back, I can only use another hand to grasp his clothes.
That less than leg deep in the small river channel, the female ghost's body seems to be half lying in it, I took a closer look, the woman's skin has been swollen by the water bubbles, and water will drip out of her five senses at any time!
She stretched out her bloated hand to tightly tug Lin Tian, I hang by the bridge, can not make strength, and even grasp his clothes fingers have been raw pain.
I screamed in my haste, furiously shouting Tintin's name.
Ding Ding had already run out a distance, he panicked and looked back, seeing my current situation, hesitated, but did not turn around and come back, but continued to run forward.
Tintin!
I yelled again at the top of my voice, Ding Ding's footsteps paused for a moment, he seemed to be very hesitant, his heart had been struggling, and finally patted his head fiercely before turning back.
I could see that Ding Ding was very afraid, once everything that had happened, the ghosts and monsters that he had encountered, were perhaps within his capabilities. But now the situation was completely different. Those ghostly shadows behind him were gradually approaching, and there was no telling how many other unnamed ghosts and monsters were lurking around. Even if Ding Ding is capable, but two fists can't beat four legs, there is not even a chance to make a move, and he can only dodge and run for his life.
Ding Ding was able to come back to save me, and definitely had a lot of determination! After all, staying in this place for one more second is gambling with your own life.
He glanced nervously towards the ghostly shadows behind him, then reached out and tried to pull me onto the bridge.
I also struggled to climb upwards, finally pulling on the guardrail to stabilize my body, but the female ghost in the water seemed to be very unwilling, and used all her strength to furiously pull Lin Tian.
I was just about to pull Lin Tian up, when suddenly he tilted his head, reached out and grabbed my arm, and actually dragged me downward with the female ghost!
I panicked, and then I saw that Lin Tian had woken up at some point, and his eyes were reflecting some dim starlight, but his face was still smiling strangely, and he seemed to be mentally unstable.
Ding Ding see the situation, do not care about anything, towards Lin Tian pulled my hand a pull, I immediately broke free, but Lin Tian was pulled into the water by the water ghosts, poof, stirred up a burst of splash, I was in a look, this can directly see the bottom of the drinking channel, but could not see Lin Tian's silhouette.
I screamed anxiously, Ding Ding patted me, said now can not care so much! Then he pulled me over and fled forward!
But I have not even walked away from the bridge, the road in front of us suddenly appeared out of nowhere a cluster of green flames, just like the fire on the street before, wow a spread out, blocking our way.
I said in shock, what the hell is this!
Ding Ding covered his eyes with one hand, blocking the dazzling green light, while loudly echoing me, this is a ghost fire!
Seeing that the road ahead was already impassable, and there were hundreds of ghostly shadows coming towards us from behind, Ding Ding and I were trapped on the bridge, with no way in or out.
The green light was very bright, but I couldn't feel the slightest bit of temperature from the ghost fire, instead I felt that once this flame came out, the temperature around us plummeted! I could even see my exhaled breath turn into a white mist!
Ding Ding and I were at a loss when we suddenly felt our feet tighten, as if we were suddenly bound by something!
I hurriedly looked down and realized that the shadow of the shadow woman on the ground had been illuminated as if it were a rope, bound all the way up along my feet! It was like tying up a headless female ghost in a mausoleum!
I wasn't sure why the Shadow Lady, who usually didn't have the slightest bit of brotherly ferocity, suddenly went berserk, but her speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, she had wrapped around my entire body, and even my arms were tightly bound, so that I couldn't move!
Ding Ding looked panicked and was about to come to my aid, but he suddenly let out a cry and reached out to cover his neck.
I fixed my eyes on the snake and found that a green snake was opening its bloody mouth and biting down tightly on Ding Ding's throat! Thick as a bowl, its body continuously wrapped around Ding Ding.
I heard a dry and frightening laughter coming from behind the ghost fire, and only then did I realize that there stood a stooped old woman, her hair all white and very messy, her wrinkled face with the five senses protruding outwards, and on her body was coiled another equally thick red snake.
Ding Ding's face instantly went white, he also saw this old woman, and his mouth screamed out in shock, Snake Bone Woman!
Immediately after, his words suddenly stalled, fell down on his back, the huge green snake tightly biting his neck and not let go, dragging him bit by bit into the ghost fire.
I remembered screaming, but my body was tightly bound to Dongtang by the shadow, and I watched as Ding Ding was engulfed by the ghost fire!
My emotions had almost reached the brink of collapse, Lin Tian had fallen into the water and disappeared, and Ding Ding was now being dragged away by the giant snake, his life and death unknown. How could I have imagined that the three of them were still talking and laughing during the day, and in the blink of an eye, they would end up in such a state!
At this moment, the hundreds of ghostly shadows behind me had already come to me, and I couldn't see their faces, as if there was a mist covering them all in front of me.
I had no will to resist, and in my heart, I only felt that I was about to die. Dumbly looking at them.
But strangely enough, these ghosts and monsters didn't pounce on me and tear at me, but stood right by the bridge and suddenly made a path.
I vaguely saw a figure coming from it, and how familiar that figure was.
She came to me, wearing the same clothes I remembered. It was as if it had never left.
The corners of my eyes were wet, my voice choked up, and I called out with difficulty, mom ……
My mom stood in front of me, her face with a smile I was familiar with, reached out towards my face and touched it, I heard her in a trance, it's okay ……
Then for some unknown reason, my eyes suddenly went black and I lost consciousness.
I don't know how long I was unconscious, but when I woke up, I vaguely heard a gong sound.
I slowly opened my eyes, and it was already dawn. But all I could see was a narrow patch of sky, the clouds in the sky were very thick and black as if a rainstorm would fall at any moment.
I slightly turned my head sideways and suddenly hit the wooden board beside me with a bang. I was so dizzy from the impact that I wanted to reach out to cover it, but the next thing I knew, I realized that I couldn't move at all, and when I shook my eyes, I realized that the Shadow Lady was still restraining my arms and legs.
As soon as I surveyed my surroundings, cold sweat ran down my face!
I was now, surprisingly, sleeping in a coffin!
I tried hard to recall what happened before, scene after scene crossed my eyes, but I couldn't figure out why I was lying in such a place.
The sound of gongs and drums in my ears was very noisy and blowing, inexplicably making people feel irritated.
It was very difficult for me to move, and I could only endeavor to tilt my body up and probe my head to look at the situation around me.
But at this glance, my entire being was shocked!
My coffin was set up in the courtyard, and directly across from it was the sphinx tree.
I also saw Ding Ding, his neck was still wrapped around the green snake, his body was a bit dirty, his eyes were wide open, his skin had turned pale and dark, and he was hanging from the tree like the green snake was hanging him!
My brain is blank, completely unable to believe the fact that I saw in front of me!
Ding Ding he …… is dead!
I pinched myself hard to make sure that I was not dreaming, and my eyes were blurred.
Ding Ding's appearance looks very difficult, as if he suffered a lot of torture before death, we came here for a big reason, all to prevent him from dying because of the blood peroxide. But now, the bloodper has not yet been accounted for, and he is gone like this ……
Tears fell out of my eyes, and in my heart, I didn't know whether I was sad or unwilling, so I couldn't help but cry. I clenched my lips, and even my mouth had felt a bloody flavor.
At this time, a hand suddenly landed on the side of the coffin, and a silhouette probed at me.
I gazed at it and realized that it was Lin Tian!
He had a weird smile on his face as he stared blankly at me in the coffin.
I looked at him and couldn't speak for half a day. Immediately after that, I saw my mom again, who, like Lin Tian, was standing on one side of the coffin, looking at me with a smile on her face.
I don't know how they could still smile at this time, just for a moment, I suddenly felt that they were all strangers, although they were all standing beside me, but it was as if they were far, far away from me.
My mom looked at me for a while and said, Xiao Xi, you will be fine ……
I held my tongue for a moment before sobbing and calling out to her over and over again, and I asked how Tintin died.
She did not say anything, just turned her head to Ding Ding's body looked at, after a long time, only to say quietly, people sooner or later will die, what is there to be sad ……
I look at her like this, heart and sad and angry, but everything has become a foregone conclusion, now can not be undone.
I struggled in the coffin and wanted to come out, but the shadow woman on my body instead strangled tighter.
Seeing that I was moving around, Lin Tian reached out to press down on my body.
I cursed and said Lin Tian don't you fucking touch me! What the hell is wrong with you?
Lin Tian didn't say a word, he still smiled, a chilling smile. Seeing that I didn't move around anymore, he slowly withdrew his hand and stood motionless by the coffin.
The gongs and drums in my ears grew louder and louder, as if they were playing a mournful song. I struggled to tilt my head up to look around, and found that there were ghostly shadows everywhere in the courtyard, all kinds, tangible and intangible, and they all stood motionless in one place, as if waiting for some kind of order.
And that old woman who had killed Tintin, stroking the red-colored python wrapped around her body, looking at the green snake on the tree on one side, giggling so hard that I could not wait to jump up and break her into pieces!
