cloudy day

Chapter 6 Impermanence
After hearing the sharp and strange music, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and even forgot to run away.

I stared blankly at the big red sedan chair. At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew by, and I saw the curtains of the sedan chair being blown open slowly.

A strange fragrance gradually drifted in, but I couldn't see anyone sitting in the sedan chair. Just as I was about to observe carefully, suddenly a bony claw stretched out through the bright red curtain of the sedan chair.

"Ghost!" Everyone reacted after a while, uttered screams, raised their legs and fled around.

But what was creepy was that these people stopped before they had run far, and they stared blankly at the big red sedan chair, as if bewitched.

Seeing such a scene, Sun Youde was even more terrified. He didn't dare to move. He looked back at the man in black hiding in the corner, and asked tremblingly, "Master... what's going on now... manage?"

The man in black snorted coldly, "You will follow me slowly in a while, and you must not breathe with your eyes closed. Don't worry about the Zhao family father and son. Maybe they will die later than lighting the sky lanterns." awful."

The man in black smiled coldly, Sun Youde quickly followed what he said, pulled his sleeves, and followed closely behind to the village.

I looked back, the moonlight was shining, and I saw that "Master" was wearing a blue Taoist robe, and he was the strange Taoist I accidentally bumped into last night.

Soon, those two people actually left here safe and sound, and in the end there were only two normal "people" left, my adoptive father and me.

Those Sun Youde's accomplices remained motionless, as if they had turned into paper figurines made by his father. For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely strange.

"Hey..." A woman's cold laughter came from the sedan chair, which made people shudder.

"Father..." I glanced at my adoptive father in fear, only to find that he passed out at some point. I struggled with all my strength, but the sackcloth was wrapped too tightly.

The bone claw was getting closer and closer to me, and it was about to touch the tip of my nose. At this moment, I had no strength to struggle anymore, and a bone-chilling chill invaded my whole body.

Thinking of what the Taoist priest said before he left, I was completely devastated, I was going to die anyway, I really want to bite my tongue and kill myself now, so as not to suffer less torture.

And just when I closed my eyes and waited to die, I felt that cold breath gradually disappearing. I opened my eyes and saw that gloomy claw retracted into the sedan chair.

What surprised me even more was that not long after, the strange eight-carried sedan chair trembled and quickly retreated in the direction it came from.

Immediately afterwards, all the soulless people fell to the ground with a plop, and the shackles behind them were much shorter than before, showing the appearance of dying!
When the sedan chair gradually disappeared into the dark woods, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a white shadow looming in the opposite direction.

"Help... help..." I subconsciously shouted, and the white figure flashed past and disappeared into the dark woods.

When I shouted again, I accidentally found that the linen wrapped around my body fell off.

I have no time to think about the series of unimaginable and strange things that happened just now, and now I only have one thought, which is to take my adoptive father and leave this abominable place as soon as possible.

After breaking free from the shackles, I quickly untied the sackcloth on my adoptive father, and when the last piece of cloth was scattered on the ground, I was completely dumbfounded.

I saw my adoptive father's legs were bloody and unnaturally bent, I reached out tremblingly and touched them, and my adoptive father's leg bones were broken...

"Chang... Changsheng, are you alright?" The adoptive father opened his eyes and asked weakly. He was not worried about his injuries, but was concerned about my safety first.

My tears flowed down at once, I clenched my teeth and endured the pain in my body, carried my adoptive father on my back, and walked down the mountain in a trance.

It turned out that after I was knocked unconscious by the stone, the crowd in the village was excited. Several people picked up shovels and picks and tried to beat me to death. It was my adoptive father who protected me, but I was seriously injured.

My heart was full of anger, and I looked at the bright moon in the night sky and secretly swore that I would make Sun Youde and the Taoist behind him pay the price.

Of course, there are also their accomplices, the village chief, the village accountant, Miss Xiaofeng, and even all the ignorant people in the village!
I walked for a while with my adoptive father on my back, and suddenly found that I had come to the cemetery unknowingly. I couldn't help but look a few more times at that eerie place.

My adoptive father seemed to have guessed my thoughts, and he said weakly: "Changsheng, you have never eaten the flesh of a dead person, don't listen to the village accountant's nonsense, but...but..."

My adoptive father hesitated to speak, so I quickly asked, and he continued, "But you have to deal with death all your life, just like how my father and I used to make paper figurines and wreaths for people."

"This……"

"Because if you don't touch dead bodies for a long time, your body will become very weak, just like when you were a child, you were dying of serious illness..."

I frowned. I didn't expect that the rumors in the village were true. No wonder everyone regarded me as a freak, but why?
