Chapter 4 Painted Skin


Outside the city of Yulin.Wang Shen and his wife tidy up the hotel rooms, and now, the world is not peaceful, and there are fewer and fewer tourists on the road, and the hotel is only barely trying to maintain it on weekdays.Today, the wind and rain are in full swing, and I am afraid that there are no guests staying in the hotel.At this time, a young man with red lips and white teeth pushed open the door and walked in, it was Wang Shen's only son, who only helped greet guests on weekdays."

Daddy."

The young man called and led in a young girl from behind.This girl seems to be twenty-eight years old, wearing a green Luo skirt, wearing a white silk scarf, her appearance is very cute, she bowed to Wang Shen and his wife, and said: "The little woman was originally a person from Wangze Township more than ten miles to the south, her husband died early, and she had no children under her knees, so she was driven out by her ruthless in-laws, and her parents have died, so she came to her aunt, how do you know that her aunt has also passed away, and now she doesn't know where to rely on, but it is raining heavily, and she also asks the store to be kind and take in a night......"

Hide your face and weep.Wang Shen saw that the woman was pitiful, and her body was wet with rain, so he couldn't help but feel compassion and responded.After eating together, the woman was also diligent in her hands and feet, took the initiative to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and at the end, helped the king's wife make clothes.This woman's sewing clothes are finely stitched and exquisitely crafted, which is not comparable to ordinary people.The king's wife couldn't help but sigh when she saw it."

With such appearance and craftsmanship, your mother-in-law is really dizzy."

Speaking of this, she looked at the woman more and more happy, and her heart turned, and she said half-jokingly: "If only you were my daughter-in-law!"

”Who knows, but the woman bowed her head shyly."

If you don't dislike ......" the world is chaotic, and ordinary people don't pay so much attention to it.Wang Shen and his wife hastily arranged it, and sent the woman and her son into the cave room that night.Wang Shen's son is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is still an ignorant teenager."

Why is the lady holding the rafters?"

The woman was now standing by the door, holding a thick wooden rafter as if she were carrying a rice stalk."

There are a lot of thieves nearby, so you have to be on guard at night."

After speaking, the woman pressed the wooden rafters against the door and looked at the groom sitting by the bed."

Xianggong's skin and flesh are really delicate?""

What?"

The young man was stunned when he heard this."

I mean, Xianggong is really good-looking."

The young man who said this blushed, he mustered up his courage, looked up at the woman and said, "It's better to look at my sister." ”The woman smiled softly, approached the bed, and grabbed the boy's hands.The young man hurriedly shouted: "The red candle hasn't been blown out yet." ”"Leave it alone."

As she spoke, the woman stomped the young man onto the bed, and as soon as she lifted her hand, the quilt covered the two of them.There was a stir in the quilt, and all of a sudden, it swelled up in a circle.The shadow of the red candlestick moved, and it was violently rolled by the waves.Creepy chewing sounds can be faintly heard...............................

"Mother, the bride is a ghost!"

”The king's wife was in a cold sweat and woke up from her dream, and just now she dreamed that her son was crying to her with his hair covered in blood.She hurriedly woke up her husband beside her and told him what happened in the dream."

I married a good daughter-in-law, I'm so happy that I'm crazy!

Say something in your dreams. ”Wang Shen scoffed, turned around and fell asleep again.Wang Shen's wife also fell asleep, but it didn't take long."

Mother, my son is going to be eaten by ghosts."

The king's wife sat up suddenly, and the mournful cry of her son in the dream seemed to be still in her ears.Once is a dream, but what about twice?

She quickly woke her husband up again, Wang Shen also felt kinky at this time, the couple got out of bed and came to the door of the new house, only to see the candlelight in the house shaking, but there was no sound.The couple glanced at each other and quietly attached their ears to the door together.But I faintly heard the sound of gnawing and chewing.The two jumped to their feet and shouted loudly into the house, but there was no response from inside, and the two slammed into the door, but the door was held up by the rafters and could not open.The movement here attracted the surrounding neighbors.Several young men who arrived rushed together smashed open the wooden door.But I heard a few exclamations.The people gathered at the door suddenly dispersed.I saw blood flowing all over the room, and a ghost with a blue body and round eyes and chiseled teeth sat on the bed, holding a head, and drank the brain marrow.Looking at Wang Shen and his people shouting outside the door, it just glanced at its copper bell-like eyes, and a pair of big jagged mouths cracked as if laughing, and then threw the skull in his hand out of the door, and it fell into the arms of Wang's wife."

Son!"

The king's wife looked at the skull in her arms, screamed miserably, and fainted.The crowd outside the door was in a hurry.The demon took the opportunity to rush out of the door, scare the crowd away, and break down the door.Only the night was blank, and Wang Shen cried bitterly.………………………… There were two strange Taoists from outside Yulin City.The old one is still normal, with a weathered face, gray hair, and the Taoist robe on his body is very old, and it is almost mended into a hundred clothes.It's a wandering Taoist.The young ones are eccentric, although they are also wearing an old Taoist robe, but they have fine skin and tender flesh like a rich young master, and their hair is short like a monk.This old man and young man are naturally Liu Laodao and Li Changan.At this time, it had been nearly a month since the ghost market.In Lao Dao, Li Changan's ability to "pass through the quiet" that he got from Xiao Huangshu seems to be regarded as a very good talent, and he wants to accept Li Changan as a disciple.And Li Changan's side, first, he doesn't know where to go, and secondly, the old way has the grace to save his life.He is not a hypocritical person, and he agreed immediately.But the old Taoist sect has a rule that the apprentices must have at least half a year of observation, so Li Changan has not yet been officially included in the door wall.The two walked on the official road, looking at a pair of soldiers blocking the city gate from a distance, and strictly checked the passers-by who entered and exited the city.Lao Dao took out a book fold from his bag and handed it to Li Changan, Li Changan opened it and saw that it was a degree, and the name on it was a Taoist named Xuanxiao."

Who is Xuan Xiao?""

Your uncle?""

Where?""

It's for the youkai to eat."

The soldiers at the city gate not only checked strictly, but also all of them seemed to be facing a great enemy, and they had to use swords and guns at the slightest disturbance.The two were carefully searched, but they still could not enter the city, but instead brought a bowl of water.The soldier stuffed the bowl into Li Changan's arms and shouted, "Drink!"

”Li Changan took it, looked at the muddy water, frowned and asked, "What is this?"

”Who knows, but the soldier turned his face sideways: "If you want to drink, drink it, where is there so much nonsense!"

”"You ......"

Lao Dao hurriedly grabbed Li Changan, sniffed his nose, and said with relief: "It's okay, it's just water." ”As soon as he heard this, the soldier's attitude suddenly eased, he arched his hand towards the old Dao, and said, "The Taoist seems to be a really capable person, after entering the city, you might as well take a look at the notice." ”The notice board is right next to the city gate.After entering the city, Li Changan stopped to check, most of the notices on them were old, they were all bounties for bandits, and there were two new notices, one was that the big families in the city were haunted, and they wanted to ask the masters to exorcise the ghosts.The other is a bounty for the removal of evil spirits outside the city, and there is also a portrait of evil ghosts on it, with blue bodies and round eyes and chiseled teeth.…………………… I went into town and found a cheap hostel.Lao Dao went out to sell wine as usual to appease the wine worms in his stomach.Li Changan sat down in the room, his expression changed, and it took him a long time to breathe a sigh of relief.He took out the yellow-shelled book he had been carrying with him from his arms.In the past month or so, the book has not changed much, except for the image of the evil spirit.Li Changan opened the pages of the book, and a hideous-faced evil ghost was vividly drawn on it, this evil ghost was blue all over, with round eyes and chiseled teeth, just like the painting on the city wall.
