C10

I screamed and my scalp exploded. I wanted to run for my life, but I found myself under the bed with nowhere to run.

Just as I was panicking, the rooster in my arms suddenly crowed.

"Cluck, cluck ~!"

The fifth cry of a chicken rang out!

With a caw, the human face suddenly disappeared. Without much time to think, I crawled out from under the bed. Without even wearing my shoes, I ran and ran. In a flash, I escaped from the wooden house and headed towards the village.

"Cluck, cluck ~!"

At this moment, the sixth cry of a chicken rang out!

Right after the cry, it sounded seven, eight times. Following that, the big rooster in my embrace seemed to have gone crazy as it kept on chirping one after another.

In an instant, I was stunned. The situation had clearly exceeded my expectations. Third Uncle only told me to run as fast as I could when the chickens were crowing for the fifth time. If even the fifth sound had to escape, then the sixth, seventh, eighth … What should he do?

At this moment, an old and sharp voice suddenly sounded.

"Sir Erlang!"

Hearing this sound, my scalp immediately exploded. I opened my mouth to vent my anger and desperately ran, both legs seeming to have a motor installed.

The rooster kept crowing, one after the other, as if he was urging me to run away. At this moment, I suddenly felt that there was something in my surroundings. A gust of cold wind kept blowing from behind me, making my hair stand on end.

"The bridegroom!" The groom's wife! "

The screams got closer and closer and became more and more shrill. I was so scared that my legs went limp. Thinking of what my third uncle had said, I didn't dare to turn around and just ran away without caring about my life.

However, no matter how I ran, the sound behind me didn't get too far away. On the contrary, it was getting closer and closer. I kept feeling that in the next second, something would pounce towards me from behind.

It was pitch black all around me. There were so many trees that it was hard to see the road, and it was hard to walk on the mountain. I was in too much of a hurry so I lost my balance and fell flat on my face. The rooster in his arms also flew out.

Ignoring the pain, I quickly got up. Just as I was about to hug the rooster, I suddenly froze. It wasn't that I didn't want to move, it was that my clothes were hooked by something, like a branch.

I tilted my head and looked around. My eyelids began to twitch. The trees on either side of me were far away, and because of the height, there was no way that any of the branches could have caught my clothes.

If it wasn't a tree branch, then... What is it?

Just as I was panicking, I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulder, as if something was pressing down on me. A cold wind blew behind my ears.

Then a sharp laugh rang in my ear, cold and harsh.

"Sir Erlang!"

At the same time my voice sounded, my entire body felt as though I had been struck by lightning. I almost collapsed on the ground. My head couldn't help but look behind me.

At this moment, another delicate shout rang.

"Don't look back!"

At the same time as I shouted, I suddenly heard an ear-piercing scream. Following that, my back relaxes and the restraints on me disappear in an instant. Before I could recover, someone grabbed my hand.

Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he pulled me along and started to run at top speed.

In front of me was a woman in a red qipao with a ponytail, holding a red umbrella in her free hand.

Although I couldn't see what she looked like, I was shocked that not only was she terrifyingly strong, but she was also running so fast that I couldn't keep up with her at all. In the end, she almost dragged me along, and my legs barely touched the ground.

Being dragged like a mop by a woman, I could not help moaning in my heart. It's not that it's shameful, it's just that my legs are hurting. I'm in a situation where I have to drag a person behind me like a horse. If the horse speeds up, they won't be able to keep up and they'll have to be dragged along by the horse.

In just a few moments, his pants were already torn by me.

Fortunately, this only lasted for a few minutes, and when the ponytail girl stopped, she immediately opened the red umbrella in her hand and covered the top of our heads. A hand came out and covered my mouth, signalling for me to be quiet.

The pleasant scent from her body made me unconsciously sniff.

Before I could see what she looked like, there was a sudden chuckle in the distance.

"Sir Erlang!"

In a few seconds, a black shadow flashed past my sight. It was extremely fast. Strangely, the shadow had been only three meters or so away from us, but she seemed not to have seen us.

When the shadow was far away, I was about to ask, but the ponytail woman's hand tightened.

At this moment, under my horrified gaze, the black figure unexpectedly turns around and hovers around me before heading towards the wooden hut.

I broke out in a cold sweat. I didn't expect it to be so cunning that I almost fell for it.

After this, I didn't dare to say anything. The ponytail woman didn't say anything. After the shadow completely disappeared, she pulled me along, but this time she walked very slowly. She held a red paper umbrella and walked step by step towards the village.

When they reached the village entrance, the woman let out a sigh of relief and said it was safe.

I couldn't help but wonder who she was.

The woman put the umbrella away, then slowly turned around and smiled at me. In the moonlight, I discovered that the woman was very beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful. However, when I saw her, I cried out in shock. I collapsed onto the ground as if I had seen a ghost.

I realized that the woman with the ponytail was Xiao Yue!

How was this possible? If the person in front of me is Xiao Yue, then who was the person who chased after me from the wooden house earlier?

I sat down on the ground, my legs kicking at the ground, almost rubbing my butt against the ground as I backed away.

In contrast to my panic, the breathtakingly beautiful woman looked at me with a gentle gaze.

"You … "Who are you?" I shivered.

The woman was startled, then smiled gently: "Let's get to know each other again, my name is Xiao Yun!"

After saying that, he extended his hand out towards me.

"Xiao Yun?"

I was stunned. "You're not Xiao Yue?"

Xiao Yun's smile did not change: "I've seen the thing you're talking about a few times. Although I don't know why she looks so similar to me, I'm really not her."

"Then who are you? "Why did you save me just now?" I asked again.

Xiao Yun reached out and pulled me up, saying gently, "This is a long story, I'll explain it to you when I have the chance. Now that something powerful has set its eyes on you, you will be in danger in the future. You can take this first and save your life in times of danger. "

With that, Xiao Yun took out a round jade pendant and gave it to me. There were no patterns on the jade pendant, only two words written on it: Longevity!

The moment I saw the jade pendant, I was stunned. Isn't that my name? How could it be engraved with a jade pendant?

Without waiting for me to ask, Xiao Yun continued, "What happened just now was the doing of that old granny. You must be careful in the future. And one more thing. You must not mention what you have seen and heard about me to anyone, not even the people closest to you. "

Just as I was about to ask why, Xiao Yun had already turned around and walked towards the darkness.

Without turning his head, his voice floated over.

"I'll give you one last word of advice. Be careful of the people around you, they only appear as skin deep pockets, whether they are good or bad depends on your heart. If fate wills it, we will meet again, Brother Changsheng …"

As soon as he finished, he disappeared into the darkness.

I was scared silly. I held onto the round jade pendant, unable to say anything for a long time. The doubt in her heart was because Xiao Yun's appearance was becoming more and more numerous, and becoming more and more and more severe. The death of her cousin, the disappearance of her eldest uncle, the evil intentions of the Blind Grandma, the abnormality of her third uncle, and the mysteriousness of Xiao Yun.

These people all combined together, leaving me with a stomach full of confusion and doubt. However, as the person involved, I didn't know anything.

The only thing he could be sure of was that there was something fishy about his cousin's death. As for the specific reason, probably only Blind Grandma knew. But looking at the situation tonight, it was clear that Blind Grandma had ill intentions and wanted to harm me.

But the problem is, I have no enmity with her, so why would she do that?

Thinking of this, I felt a wave of anger and resentment. The anger stemmed from the fact that I was being played around with and framed. The frustration was that I had no idea what was going on.

When I got home, I thought for a long time before falling asleep.

Early the next morning, I went to find Third Uncle, and told him about what happened in the rear mountains last night, with the exception of the matter regarding Xiao Yun. After hearing this, Third Uncle's expression became very ugly.

I asked Third Uncle what we should do now. Third Uncle, with a cold expression, took a knife from the kitchen and rushed out.

Before leaving the temple, he said, "Go to the back of the mountain!"

Seeing how Third Uncle was about to cut me down, I jumped in fright and quickly followed him.

When they returned to the wooden house at the back of the mountain, Third Uncle suddenly kicked the door and rushed in while shouting curses. After rummaging around for a while, he realized that there was no one in the house.

I looked around a few times, and then my eyes settled on the center of the room, where there was an old wooden table with an incense burner and a photograph covered with a black cloth.

However, on top of the incense burner were three burning incense sticks, as if they had just been lit. What was different from before was that the speed at which the incense was burning was very slow and seemed very normal.

I walked over to the wooden table and ignored the censer. Instead, I studied the photo covered with a black cloth.

Every time I come here, I would be able to see the Blind Grandma offering her worship to this photo. The mysteriousness of this photo makes me extremely curious, who's photo is covered under this black cloth?

Curious, I reached out my hand and took the black cloth.

The instant the black cloth fell from the sky, my entire body shuddered. My scalp felt like it was about to explode. Cold sweat broke out all over my body.

This wasn't a picture, this was clearly a portrait!

The most terrifying thing was, the owner of this portrait was actually the Blind Grandma!
