There was a muffled noise in the room, followed by the sound of metal bottoming out.
"You...what did you do! You...you killed her!"
"Just...nothing! I just knocked her out."
In the dimly lit room, the white candle on the candlestick was still on, and the faint light reflected two dim figures, one tall and one short, one fatty and one thin, and they were all black clothed. . At their feet, Old Lady was lying motionless, with a sword in her withered hand.
The two dark shadows settled for a while, and went to the dilapidated wooden bed together, looking at Linde who was sleeping.
"It's him, the child who brought misfortune. Seeing how sound he sleeps, I bet it is heaven falls and earth rends, he is also impossible to wake up." said the thin man.
"Stop talking nonsense, while the old woman is still not awake, let's move people quickly. We are still waiting for our business relationship over there!" the chunky man urged.
"Got it, do you think I don't want to hurry up? After paying the job, we will have money again. Who can't make it with the money." The thin tall man said impatiently, "Helper, He is quite heavy!"
With a little effort, the thin tall man carried Linde over his shoulder.
The two left the dilapidated house with the sleeping boy.
It's midnight now, the bright moon is covered by black clouds, there is no star in the dark in the sky, and the dry dead wood opens its branches, scaring like a devil.
The fat and thin two did not care about the extra things, threw Linde into the pocket of the car behind the carriage, and drove the car to the cemetery outside the town with the whip.
When the carriage drove over the stone bridge leading from the town to the outside world, the gloomy forest appeared in front, and the graveyard was at the end of the forest.
At this time, a weird wind came from the forest. Although both of them were veterans of walking at night, their backs were cold, and an indescribable cold lingered around them. .
"Joseph, what's wrong with you, why are you trembling all the time." The chunky man looked at his companion who was driving next to him.
"What nonsense, Dick, I...I'm trembling..." The thin tall man pretended to be calm, raised his voice and boldly said that he was indeed trembling. This kind of tremor was different from the bumps of the carriage. He distinguished Got to be clear.
"You were shaking so badly. At that time, my wife had a high fever and wobbly didn't tremble as much as you did. Are you scared too?" said the chunky man named Dick.
"Dick, you are also shaking, haven't you noticed yourself?" Joseph said.
"I...no..." Dick wanted to refute, but he also noticed that his legs were trembling constantly, "Maybe you are right, we are all trembling. What are you afraid of."
Joseph turned his head and looked at the boy lying in the car pocket. He was still asleep at the moment. He didn't know the fear. It seemed that what was about to happen to him had nothing to do with him. His expression is so calm and composed.
"This child is wicked, haven't you heard the rumors about him?" Joseph said.
"I've heard of it, but most of the rumors are coaxing. I know that he is the illegal child of Uncle Luan. It is said that Uncle Luan was born with a prostitute when he was fighting outside. Perhaps Uncle Luan It was just a fool. The camp prostitute threw the child to him and went away. Uncle Luan couldn't take the child, so he left the barracks in a desperate manner and fled home..." Dick said.
"I'm not talking about this!"
"That was when he fell down the stairs while sleepwalking. He was unharmed, but he was unconscious, just like now." Dick turned his head and glanced at the back pocket of the carriage.
"It's not about this!" Joseph was a little annoyed, "these all are Luan, when the old man was alive, the stories made up for this child are all concealment! Do you know what concealment is? ?"
"You mean, none of this is true!" Dick looked blank.
"This is definitely not true. Some people have seen that Luan brought the child when he came out of Yaluna. You must know that since Yaluna was destroyed by the blood group, but The devil's lair that has been entrenched by evil spirits and hungry ghosts!"
"is it possible that, that child is the devil's child!" Dick exclaimed.
"It's hard to guarantee that it is not." Joseph looked thoughtful and said, "This transaction is too rewarding, and it was too easy. On the contrary, it made me a little uneasy. The snakehead asked the child by name and name. What's the use of such a waste? Immemorial blames all of this..."
"Joseph, don't be too neurotic. If you think too much about some things, it's just to be troubled. We didn't do it for one day or two days. Don't forget the rules: don't tell, don't ask, give money to people, the other things have nothing to do with us." Dick said.
"You are right, what happened to me today is something abnormal. It is a psychological effect... psychological effect." Joseph chattered and took the wine bag from his belt Handed it to his companion, "Bring some black pine wine, everything hell will be smoked away by the alcohol!"
"Let the coward get out!" Dick took the wine bag and took two sips. , I suddenly felt no chill, feverish all over, and the whole body was refreshing.
After the alcohol got up, he returned the wine bag to Joseph.
The carriage is moving further and further away from the town along the rugged trail.
The night in the gloomy forest is terrifyingly quiet, but it belongs to the realm of human beings, and there are few foreigners coming and going. Even if it is dim and abnormal, the two are not very scared.
I don't know how long it took, the carriage finally passed out of the forest, and a hillside full of tombstones appeared in front of me. This is the cemetery.
The carriage drove into the cemetery with ease along a rugged trail and turned over to the other side of the hillside along the slope.
Finally, they stopped in an open field in the cemetery. The horse bowed its head and ate the weeds mixed with night dew, while the two waited for the arrival of the snake head.
It was strangely quiet everywhere, but in the silent wilderness, sleepiness gradually occupied the bodies of the two people, and they fell asleep unconsciously.
Joseph had a good dream. Snakehead actually paid 1,000 Golden Dragons for the boy. This was 200 times the previous bargaining price. He had never seen so much money. He bought a house and landed. , Marry a noble lady, participate in the Imperial Family banquet, be favored by King Your Majesty, come and go... everything is so perfect.
When Joseph was wandering in the beautiful, he suddenly heard a terrifying cry. The sound was not very clear but terrifying. Then his body was suspended in the air, a huge force seemed He wanted to crush his chest, which made him feel unbearable pain and almost suffocated.
"Where is the child?" The terrifying voice seemed to come from hell.
Joseph smelled a rotten heat and pounced on his face, making him gag. His thinking became more and more sluggish, and at the same time the helpless plea of his companion Dick came in his ear.
"Child..." Joseph thought of the child he brought tonight, "The child is in the pocket of the car!"
Joseph tried to adapt to the dark environment around him, He saw his surroundings clearly, he was held in his hand by a huge ogre, and the monster was staring at him with its dim, angry eyes.
And my companion has been held by ogre and kept vomiting blood, I'm afraid he is dead.
He saw not far away, the snake head was waiting respectfully next to a figure of medium stature. The large cloak completely covered the figure of the figure, and the hood on the cloak was pulled very low and covered it. Face. And many monsters of different sizes gathered around.
"You maggots, you have deceived the servants of Evil God, you have wasted your adult's time, I will pinch you to death!" Ogre came furiously.
"Don't...don't kill me...injustice...he...he is indeed still..."
Joseph hasn't finished his last words. He has been bleeding from his orifices and his body is bleeding. Has been crushed by ogre, vomiting blood.
"My lord... they deceived you and have been punished as they deserve." Ogre threw the two corpses aside and wiped it disgustingly.
"Ai, I didn't say to punish them! You shouldn't kill him before they have finished speaking. They haven't explained the whereabouts of the Shida Stone!" The figure sighed softly and made a soft female voice, "You have to pay for your recklessness."
"My lord! Forgive me... my lord..."
ogre fearfully I wanted to ask for mercy, but only heard a "boom". It had fallen to the ground due to a split head and died.
"He hasn't gone far, I can feel his breath is still there! Everyone brings him back to me, if he loses a hair, you don't want to live!" Mysterious girl ordered road.
Many monsters screamed and scattered.
On the far hillside, behind an unremarkable tombstone, a thin body is shrinking there, watching every move outside.
His eyes were wide open, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, and he let out a soft moan of fear, and his body was trembling constantly.
He is Linde, Linde who woke up from a deep sleep.
"Father, mother...Where are you? Don't leave me here!" The boy was muttered with a cry.
