Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 171
"Don't worry, trust me!" Wu You assured her, patted her chest, "But don't tell anyone else, not even your master! Especially the elder sister, you can't tell her! Otherwise they You will definitely blame me!"

Li Siyan nodded: "As long as my brother can be cured, I will definitely not say anything."

"Then I won't say anything." Chen Yin looked around at the night, "I'm afraid."

Wu You smiled and said, "Don't be afraid! Isn't it just darker? I come to this place often, and I'll be there in a while!"

The three little girls rode horses and continued to move towards the outskirts of the city.

They turned away from the road and turned into the wilderness.

After a while, a tree with a crooked neck appeared in the sight of the three of them.

Beside the tree stood a mud house that had been abandoned for many years, with weeds growing under the yellowed walls.The roof of the earthen house was broken, and the doors and windows were long gone.

"Here it is!" Wu You said, "Come on, let's tie the horse to the tree."

After the three girls tied the horse, they got into the earthen house.

The room was terribly dark, but Wu You took out an oil lamp from nowhere and lit it.

The dim lights dispelled the darkness, and finally made Chen Yin and Li Siyan's hearts a little more stable.

Wu You put the oil lamp on the ground and said, "Let's block the wind, so that the lamp won't be blown out."

The three girls sat around the oil lamp, and the faint fire light reflected on their immature faces.

"This is my secret. When I was young, I ran here and cried when I was angry at home, and sometimes I still slept here. The longest time, I didn't go home for a day and a night."

Wu You said: "I have never told anyone about this place, and I have never brought others to tell. We are friends who let you come here. You must keep it a secret from me!"

Both Li Siyan and Chen Yin nodded.

Then, Wu You suddenly took out a pair of scissors with a cold light.

She cut off a small lock of her own hair with scissors, and then burned it on the volcano of an oil lamp.

The black hair was instantly ignited by the flames, sizzling and turning into ashes, exuding a burning smell.

Li Siyan asked curiously: "What's the use of burning hair?"

Wu You replied: "Many years ago, I met someone here. But she is an adult and not a child, but she is very kind to me, as long as I want her to help, she will help. She also told me that if you want to To find her, come here and light your hair, and she will come soon."

After a pause, Wu You said again: "But she is a bit ugly, and her brain is not good. Don't be afraid of her. When she comes, I will ask her to find medicine for your brother. The medicine she found is very good. It is effective, I have eaten it before!"

The three girls then waited patiently.

After a while, the flame of the oil lamp suddenly jumped.

They hurriedly moved closer to the oil lamp to prevent the flame from being blown out.

A chilly atmosphere began to spread in the room, causing the three girls to hug their shoulders and shake slightly.

The three horses tethered outside the house suddenly neighed wildly. They kept trying to break free from the reins and escape, and the tree with their crooked necks rattled.

This made Li Siyan and Chen Yin's faces even more frightened.

"Don't be afraid, this is a normal phenomenon." Wu You said as someone who came here, "It means she is coming soon!"

Not long after, a figure silently appeared from the darkness and slowly entered the earthen house.

I saw that it was a woman with disheveled hair and an overly blue dress.

Her face was pale, her skin was deeply sunken, and she was frighteningly thin.Her hair covered her eyes, she kept her eyes open, her pupils rolled down the whites of her eyes, and she began to look at the three girls in the room through the hair gap.

Li Siyan and Chen Yin hugged each other in fright: "Sister Wu You, is she a human or a ghost?"

Wu You stood up calmly and said, "Don't worry, she's definitely human. We've known each other for many years. It's just that she's not very smart, she's a little crazy."

Speaking of this, Wu You came to the woman and complained: "Why are you here now? My friend and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

The woman made a sharp but deliberately soft voice: "Wu You, you haven't come to see me for a long time. Are you hungry? I brought you chicken, it's delicious."

Then, the woman raised her skinny hand, holding some bloody carrion, with some feathers stuck to it.

"It's disgusting!" Wu You took a step back and frowned and said, "Throw it away! I told you that I don't eat these raw and rotten meats! You have to bring them every time! Did you listen to me? If so?"

"Oh" the woman looked very reluctant, but she still threw the pieces of meat out of the house.

The woman's eyes shifted to Li Siyan and Chen Yin again, she secretly licked her lips, and said, "Wu You, have you made friends?"

Wu You took a step forward and said, "Their brother's head is injured, can you help him find the elixir for him to eat?
It is the panacea you found here to give me when I was sick.You must promise me that you will not embarrass me in front of my friends. "

The woman was still staring at Li Siyan and Chen Yin, but slowly shook her head: "There is no more medicine."

Hearing this, Wu You was annoyed: "You are perfunctory! I will never ask you to help again! Siyan, Chen Yin, let's go!"

The woman's eyes suddenly shifted to Wu You, and she said anxiously: "Don't go! I'll look for it in two days."

Only then did Wu You turn around and wink at Li Siyan and Chen Yin in satisfaction, then said to the woman:
"Since you promised, you must do it! Don't you like to hear me tell stories? Come and sit down, and we will tell you stories."

Wu You took the woman to sit next to the two girls, and the four of them sat on the floor around the slightly beating oil lamp.

Li Siyan sniffled suddenly, wondering: "What's the smell? It stinks!"

Chen Yin secretly tugged on her clothes, and said in a low voice, "Stop talking about Siyan, it's impolite."

Only then did Li Siyan realize that the rotten stench was coming from the woman, and she hurriedly closed her mouth.

After all, the woman promised to find the elixir to heal her younger brother, so she couldn't be rude to her.

Wu You looked very embarrassed, and she said to the woman angrily, "You really are! I told you to take more baths, but my body still smells so bad! This is the first time I bring a friend here, and you embarrass me! "

The woman lowered her head in shame, and said weakly, "I'm sorry, Wu You."

Chen Yin pulled Wu You, leaned into Wu You's ear and said, "Sister Wu You, don't say that about her."

Wu You still had a straight face: "Don't be too polite to her, she is just a crazy woman who runs around at night, she probably lives in a nearby village. If I don't tell her a story, she will be bored to death .”

Chen Yin and Li Siyan looked at each other, neither of them knew how to persuade.

In the end, Li Siyan asked, "Telling stories? I'm not very good at telling, Sister Wu You, what do you usually tell?"

Wu You smiled, and replied in a low voice: "I don't know how to tell stories, I just need to talk about what happened to me recently. The life of a rich lady like me, this crazy woman likes to hear it most. "

Li Siyan and Chen Yin frowned slightly when they heard this. They were both children of poor families, and they would inevitably feel disgusted by the sense of superiority expressed in Wu You's words.

Then, Wu You began to tell about his recent experience, but most of them were trivial things, such as what he ate today, where he went yesterday and so on.

Coupled with Wu You's lack of storytelling skills, it sounds even more boring.

Wu You was eloquent when she spoke. She was used to being depressed at home, and being able to talk about herself wantonly was also a kind of vent for her.

But the woman listened very seriously, she sat quietly, her eyes stayed on Wu You who was speaking happily.

However, in this silent night, a rush of horseshoes came from far and near, and finally stopped outside the earthen house.

Then I heard someone outside the house saying: "What's wrong with this horse? It went crazy when it got here? Hurry up and lead the horses, don't let them run away! Come and do things with me!"

The three girls in the house looked at the door of the earthen house in surprise. Someone came here in the middle of the night, which was completely beyond their expectations.

I saw two strong men stepping into the earthen house, their gazes slowly swept over the four people in the house, and finally settled on Wu You.

A black and thin man stepped forward and scolded Wu You angrily: "Niece! You ran out secretly at such a late hour. Do you know how anxious your parents are? We searched for a long time before we found you. Come home with me!"

After finishing speaking, the black and thin man rushed forward and grabbed Wu You's arm, and pulled Wu You out.

Wu You was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted in horror: "Who are you? I don't know you at all!"

The black and thin man slapped Wu You's face violently, making her speechless for a while.Then only the black and thin man said: "Niece, you are still so naughty, lying all day long! If you don't teach you a lesson, you won't recognize me as uncle?"

Speaking of this, the black and thin man pointed at Chen Yin and Li Siyan again: "You two children, hurry up and go home! Be careful, I will tell your parents to abduct my niece!"

Seeing this scene, Li Siyan and Chen Yin were startled and tensed up.

They never expected that people from Wu You's family would come to their door. They all ran out secretly. Now that Wu You was discovered by the family, if their masters knew about it, they would be punished for a while.

Immediately, the two couldn't help but want to run away, Wu You's uncle was so fierce, and he didn't know if he would scold them both.

At this time, the woman suddenly stood up and said coldly, "Let go of Wu You!"

The black and thin man said angrily: "I'm her uncle! Don't meddle in my family affairs, or be careful and I'll report to the police that you abducted my niece!"

The woman still walked towards the black and thin man: "Let go, Wu You!"

The black and thin man's eyes flashed ferociously. He handed Wu You to his companion, and then suddenly pulled out a sharp knife from his waist: "Smelly woman! It's better not to mind your own business!"

The woman turned a deaf ear and continued to walk towards the black and thin man step by step.

The black and thin man was very angry, he rushed up and stabbed the sharp knife in the woman's abdomen: "You want to die!"

The woman didn't dodge or parry at all, and let the sharp knife stab into her abdomen.

Then she suddenly opened her arms and hugged the thin black man tightly, her mouth suddenly opened wide, and two rows of sharp fangs protruded from under her lips.

The woman's big mouth full of white fangs instantly bit the black and thin man's neck, and warm blood splashed on her face.

"Ghost!"

The man holding Wu You let out a terrified cry, he dropped Wu You, and fled towards the outside of the earthen house.

"There are evil spirits inside! Let's run!"

At this time, the woman's hands were loosened, her eyes were blood red, and she rushed out of the house.

The black and thin man fell limply to the ground. A large piece of flesh was bitten off his neck, bleeding profusely, and his whole body was twitching non-stop.

The three girls in the room were shocked when they saw this scene, their petite bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"She is evil." Chen Yin was the first to cry.

And Wu You's cheeks were slightly swollen, and his mouth was full of disbelief:

"How could she be evil? How could it be like this."

Li Siyan was the first to react: "Let's run! Otherwise, if she eats up those people, we will die if we come to eat them!"

The girls just woke up like a dream. They cried and ran towards the dark night outside the earthen house in the direction of Pengcheng.

Because I was so scared that I forgot to ride a horse, I just ran forward desperately.

In the deep night, two shrill screams were heard very quickly.

The girls were so scared that they ran away faster, and did not know how many somersaults they stumbled along the way.

However, the woman still came after her. In the wilderness, her feet were floating on the tip of the grass, and she quickly approached the three girls: "Wu You, Wu You"

She was screaming, and human blood was splashed on her face.

The three girls couldn't run anymore, they crawled slowly on the ground in horror.

Wu You saw the woman getting closer, she couldn't help but shouted: "Don't come here! Don't come here!"

The woman stretched out her hand towards Wu You: "Don't be afraid. Wu You is me"

Wu You grabbed a stone and threw it at the woman: "Go away! Go away!"

The woman's face was somewhat disappointed, but she did not approach again, but floated far away, and finally disappeared into the dense night.

Seeing the woman finally leave, the three girls sat in the wilderness hugging each other and weeping bitterly.

I don't know how long it took, but a burst of footsteps came suddenly, and the three men came in front of the girls.

"Are you humans or ghosts?!" They asked sharply.

The three girls huddled together in horror, and they also wanted to know whether it was a human or a ghost.

Those who came were all dressed in cold black uniforms similar to yamen servants, with long knives tied around their waists.

A man stepped forward and touched the girls' noses and mouths, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "He has breathing and body temperature, so he seems to be alive."

Another man asked angrily, "We are night guards! Which family are you three children from? What are you doing crying here in the middle of the night?"

Wu You knew what a night watchman was. She cried and pointed in the direction of the earth house: "There are evil spirits eating people over there! She is still chasing me! Help us!"

"Evil?" The three of them took a breath of air, "Pengcheng hasn't had any evil for so many years, yet there is an evil in such a close place?"

Only one person said: "Xiao Jiu, send these three children back. Ah Fei, come and have a look with me. See if the three children are talking nonsense, or there is something really evil."
