Chapter 10 Chapter Ten Ghost Mother

At that time, she was still young and didn't understand what it meant. She just felt a little scared, and didn't dare to disturb her mother, so she hurried back to her room for a nap. No, that's not true. Tremendous fear came over her, and she covered her mouth and staggered back.That's not her mother, that's not!She said to herself, all of this is an illusion, an illusion created by those perverts to tease her! "Xiao Zhou, are you awake?" The mother in the kitchen straightened up, and her raised right hand could be vaguely seen through the half-closed door, which was slowly turning into a furry paw.

"You're not my mother." She gritted her teeth and said, "Who the hell are you?" The door opened slowly, slowly, revealing a beautiful face, that face was very beautiful, shockingly beautiful, and the smile had the power to captivate the soul.As long as she can remember, she has known that her mother is a big beauty who often summons bees and butterflies, and they often move for this reason.Sometimes, she would look in the mirror and feel sorry for herself, why didn't she have such a shocking appearance? "You're not my mother," she growled, "you're a monster, become my mother's monster!"

"Xiao Zhou, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course I am your mother." The beautiful monster walked towards her, "Can't you recognize me? Have you forgotten how much I love you? You said you like Eat the dishes I cook, like to drink the plum wine I make the most, and say that you will be filial to me in the future and be my good daughter, have you forgotten all these?" "I haven't forgotten." She looked at that face, that gentle and beautiful face, "I remember those words, but you are not my mother, you are a monster." "I was originally a monster. Have you forgotten? Every year when I take you into the mountains to visit my grandfather, I always live alone in the forest for more than ten days?"

"My mother is going to watch over the herbs grown by my grandfather. It snows heavily in winter. If no one is watching, the herbs will freeze to death!" Bai Xiaozhou argued.Mom suddenly laughed, winking like silk: "Those are all lies to you, why don't you understand? I am a monster, and you are also a monster. If you don't believe me, look at it." She turned her head and saw the white tail trailing behind her. "No, it's not real!" She held her head, trembling with fear, "Illusion! It's all just an illusion!" "What's wrong with being a monster?" The banshee stretched her hands gently from her neck, hugged her body, and whispered softly in her ear: "This world is too dangerous, and the people here are too dangerous." Bo Liang, how can it compare to our hometown's freedom and ease?"

Her voice seemed to have some kind of magical power, and the fear in Bai Xiaozhou's heart was slowly subsiding. She suddenly felt that maybe the banshee was right. She had read so many files in 051, and the greed and ferocity of human beings were like curses. I am entangled between the lines, what is there to miss in this ugly world? "Come with me, Xiaozhou." The banshee's voice was so gentle, just like the song that her mother sang in her ear when she was a child a long time ago.Bai Xiaozhou turned his head and saw that the kitchen door was wide open. Behind the door was a lush forest. Every plant and tree there was familiar, as familiar as a dream.

"Come on." The banshee beckoned to her, "Come with me, go back to that forest, don't have to be afraid of being hunted down, don't have to be entangled between two teenagers, live freely." Bai Xiaozhou's heart seemed to be melted, his eyes were blurred, and he was immersed in a wonderful hallucination: "Dad... is he waiting for us there too?" "Yeah, he's waiting for you, and grandpa is there too. Our family will be reunited soon." "Grandpa..." Bai Xiaozhou murmured these two words, and walked slowly towards that door. In a daze, she seemed to see the white-bearded grandfather standing in the forest and smiling at herself.She had a sore nose, and tears fell down, Grandpa, do you know how much I miss you?

An ear-piercing dog barking suddenly pierced into her ears, she paused, and suddenly woke up, all illusions receded like a tide, she was still standing under the wisteria trellis, a wild dog that ran out of nowhere Spinning and barking around her feet.She squatted down, and just about to pet the dog, it suddenly jumped forward, ran to the grass three or four steps ahead, bit the weeds and pulled them, revealing a hole.Bai Xiaozhou stepped forward to take a look, his heart suddenly turned cold. It was a terrible trap, full of sharpened stakes, if she had just taken a few steps forward, she would have fallen into the trap and would have died without a doubt.

"It was you who saved me?" She said to the dirt dog. The dirt dog wagged its tail, turned around and ran away, without even giving her a chance to thank her.She was full of suspicion, where did this puppy come from?There are walls all around, and the door is closed. Can this dog still open the door? Who is helping her secretly? She suddenly remembered something, looked up at the attic: Oh no, Si Qi! The attic window had been broken a long time ago, and only some glass shards remained on the window sill. She jumped in carefully, trying not to let the glass get into her hands.Qu Siqi was sitting in the middle of the room with his head bowed, like a practitioner meditating.She called out, but Qu Siqi didn't agree.

She gasped, seeing clouds of black mist emanating from the boy's body, lingering around him like cotton candy.Bai Xiaozhou smelled a strange smell, like the smell of some kind of metal being refined and burned. "Siqi? Are you okay?" She felt a strong fear in her heart. The young man in front of her was like a monster. Could it be that he was possessed by a monster?No, no, the black mist did not come from other demons and ghosts, but from himself. His father was born with the help of a monster. It is not too much to say that he is the son of a monster. Was Qu Siqi a monster in the first place?

In any case, Si Qi was in such a dangerous situation for her sake, and she couldn't sit idly by. Bai Xiaozhou swallowed his saliva, summoned up his courage, and put his hand lightly on his shoulder: "Si Qi, wake up!" "Crack", Qu Siqi suddenly grabbed her hand, and she trembled, feeling that his hand was cold to the bone, piercing her bones with sharp pain. "Xiaozhou!" Qu Siqi hugged her tightly, "Xiaozhou, don't, don't marry Kaizi!" A row of black lines appeared on Bai Xiaozhou's forehead, and he gave him a shudder: "Your brain is burned out?"

"Xiaozhou, I saw that you married Kaizi." Qu Siqi looked at her tearfully, "Tell me, it's all an illusion, isn't it?" Bai Xiaozhou pinched his face and twisted it hard, causing him to scream in pain. She patted his cheek: "Now you believe it's an illusion?" "You are so ruthless." Qu Siqi covered his red and swollen cheeks with a sad face.Bai Xiaozhou rolled her eyes, she was still worried about him, this naturally dumb boy didn't need to worry at all. "Let's pass our fourth test?" Qu Siqi asked. "Well, it's considered... let's pass it." Bai Xiaozhou always felt that this level was too easy to pass, which made her a little uneasy.She came out of the window of the attic and stood on the black tiles. The sun was a bit dark, and the wind blowing from nowhere made the pagoda trees rattle. "Help him, please, save him." It was this sound again, every time the locust tree shook, she could hear this sound, could there be something under the tree? "Hey, do you think I look like a vixen?" Bai Xiaozhou asked.Qu Siqi was stunned: "What did you say?" "Do I look like a monster?" Qu Siqi looked into her eyes, she was very serious, she didn't seem to be joking: "Uh, if you are talking about supernatural powers, we are all monsters." "Sometimes I feel like I'm not myself." "The more you talk, the more confused I become." Bai Xiaozhou sat down on the roof tiles, hugged his legs, and leaned his chin on his knees: "I feel that the bottom of my heart is evil. Many times, I will do some terrible things, and my Mind can't control it." Qu Siqi thought of Bai Xiaozhou who manipulated the killer to commit suicide with his mind, the murderous intent emanating from her made people shudder, and he really felt the terror at that moment. "Do you...have a dual personality?" "Dual personality?" Bai Xiaozhou shook his head and said, "A person with a real dual personality is ignorant of the other personality, but I know everything I do. Si Qi, I think that is The real me." She grabbed his arm uneasily, "I'm just a horrible person. No, maybe, maybe I'm not human, I'm a monster." "Don't think about it." Qu Siqi sat down beside him, with a gloomy face, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a monster. The most terrifying thing is that it is neither human nor demon, and you don't even know what you are." Bai Xiaozhou turned to look at him, his eyes were cloudy, as if he was hiding something. Maybe, the hallucination he just saw is not what he said! "It's not a problem for Gu Ying to feel sorry for himself." Bai Xiaozhou sighed, "Cheer up, there are three more tests!" "That's right." Qu Siqi showed his usual optimist smile again, "Life is only fifty years, no matter what it is, having fun in time is the real thing." Bai Xiaozhou supported his forehead and shouted: "Can't you pursue a little bit?" "What pursuit? Saving the world?" "You'd better save yourself first!" "Don't worry, I have the vitality of immortality like a cockroach, and I don't care about it." Qu Siqi laughed and said, "I don't know what happened to Kaizi, whether it's safe or not." One sentence touched Bai Xiaozhou's thoughts, she pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Don't worry! He can take care of himself." Zhu Yikai was sitting in a dark room. He had won tens of millions in this round just now, but he wasn't happy at all.The scene just now was so weird that he could hardly believe his eyes. After Qu Siqi entered the attic, out of nowhere, a big mouse about one foot long jumped out, circling around his feet.He stomped on the mouse to death, as if he had been haunted by something, took a few steps forward, sat down, his eyes were slightly closed, he was muttering something, and his face was full of expressions.Suddenly, he trembled all over, his brows were tightly wrinkled, cold sweat covered his forehead, and his neck turned black, as if he had swallowed a big mouthful of poison and burned his throat. Zhu Yikai thought the rat had been poisoned and was worried when Bai Xiaozhou came in suddenly, and when her hand was on his shoulder, the bruise on Qu Siqi's throat disappeared without a trace. Xiaozhou's left hand has the ability to heal, he knows that, but just now Bai Xiaozhou clearly used his right hand, and he was wearing gloves properly. I remember that not long ago, in Siqi’s hometown, Teacher Long whispered in Siqi’s grandmother’s ear and told her Siqi’s secret. The old lady was so frightened that she could hardly hold the Buddhist beads in her hand. What kind of shocking secret is hidden in Qu Siqi's body? It was getting dark, and the two went to a small noodle shop at the entrance of the alley to have dinner. They saw the bald boy sitting on the side of the street, holding his chin and smiling at passers-by. No one knew what he was looking at, and no one cared.Bai Xiaozhou bought a bunch of barbecue wings and handed them to him. He took them with a smile on his face and said with his greasy mouth open, "Thank you sister!" Before he finished speaking, a group of furry things got out from behind him.Bai Xiaozhou's expression changed suddenly in shock. It was a native dog, a familiar looking one, wagging its tail and wagging its own personality. "That's it." Bai Xiaozhou said to Qu Siqi, "It's the one that saved me." Without even thinking about it, Qu Siqi went straight over and said to the little boy, "Who the hell are you?" The little boy just finished eating a chicken wing, and stretched out his greasy little hand to him: "Give me the chicken wing, and I'll tell you." Qu Siqi was so angry that he grabbed his shoulder and lifted him up: "Will you tell me?" The little boy burst into tears, drawing the attention of passers-by.Bai Xiaozhou hurried forward to persuade him: "Siqi, put him down quickly, he's just a child." Qu Siqi snorted coldly and put the little boy down.Bai Xiaozhou bought another chicken wing and handed it to him, patting his head to keep him from crying.The little boy smiled through his tears: "Sister is so kind, sister, did you just move to that haunted house? I know how to exorcise ghosts." His eyes were deep and bright, innocent and naive, Bai Xiaozhou leaned down and asked, "What method?" "I heard from the old man that there is a locust tree planted in the haunted house. The locust tree is a ghost tree. The souls of people who die violently cannot be reincarnated, but can only wander in the world. But they are very weak, and sometimes they will possess It can only survive on the plants. I heard that the youngest daughter of that family is attached to the tree, and her cry can be heard at night.” "Didn't you say you know how to exorcise ghosts?" Qu Siqi interrupted, "How to exorcise ghosts?" The little boy pouted: "You are so fierce, I won't tell you." "Tell my sister, she will buy you chicken wings again." The little boy's eyes immediately turned into star eyes. "Okay, you have to keep your word." He beckoned mysteriously, letting her listen to her, "There is something buried under the tree." "what?" "How would I know?" The little boy tugged on her sleeve coquettishly, "Where are the chicken wings?" Bai Xiaozhou and Qu Siqi exchanged winks, bought a few chicken wings and sent him away, found a shovel for shoveling coal, and hurried back to the courtyard to dig under the tree.Qu Siqi was so strong that he dug down the root of the tree with a shovel, and bleeding came from the wound.He took a breath: "It was said on the Internet that the blood had dried up when the body was found, but there was not a single drop of blood at the scene. It turned out that it was sucked away by the tree." "How can an ordinary locust tree suck blood? I'm afraid this tree has become a spirit!" Bai Xiaozhou raised his head, looked at the black mist hovering above his head, the wind shook the tree, and the voice rang clearly in his ears again. "Please, save him." Who do you want me to save? "Xiao Zhou, we found something." Bai Xiaozhou hurried over and saw the miserable white hand bones in the black soil. She took a breath: "Who is this?" "How would I know." Qu Siqi shrugged, "From the information on the Internet, the bodies of the Li family members have been found, and we have also found the body of Li Nana. Who this person is is really a mystery." "Wait, there seems to be something in his hand?" Bai Xiaozhou scraped away the dirt, and there was a rusty chain wrapped around the phalanx of the corpse, with a pocket watch at the end of the chain. Exactly the same as the one found in the study. Open the watch cover, the faces of the two can be seen clearly in the blurred photo.Bai Xiaozhou said: "I understand, this corpse is the man in the photo." "Who is he?" "I don't know who he is, but he lives in that attic. He is a member of that family, but everyone dislikes him. There is only one person who is willing to get close to him, and that is Li Nana." Qu Siqi suddenly realized: "This family member killed Li Nana, so he killed everyone to avenge Li Nana?" "I don't know." Bai Xiaozhou shook his head and said, "Maybe it is, maybe it's not. It's hard to find out why. Speaking of it, this happened a hundred years ago. Who cares?" "Wait!" Qu Siqi said, "If he really poisoned the Li family, who buried him here?" Bai Xiaozhou picked up the shovel and shoveled for a while: "Have you noticed that his hands are above the soil layer?" "Uh, you mean..." "He buried himself." "It's impossible!" Qu Siqi exclaimed, "How can someone bury himself alive? It's simply a fantasy, no, it's going into science!" "Theoretically, it's not impossible. As long as the method is right, you can hang yourself sitting down. However, how much perseverance and courage does it take to bury yourself alive? Or, how sad and desperate is he? Ah!" She raised her head to look at the lush canopy, you want me to save him, this person buried in hatred. "Do you still have talisman paper on you? Blank one, give me one." "Tales, paper and cinnabar, everything you need." Qu Siqi opened the backpack and handed the things over.She dipped her finger in cinnabar, wrote a talisman, and pressed a stone on the body.Qu Siqi wondered: "This is a requiem talisman, how can you write it?" "Taught by Teacher Long." "It's so well written!" He suddenly felt ashamed. Among Teacher Long's disciples, he was the worst at writing spells. The rapid ringtone of his mobile phone interrupted his self-pity. It was still a text message with two words in black: kill the dog. "Kill the dog?" Bai Xiaozhou's face turned black, "These perverts, are they crazy?" "Fortunately, it's just killing dogs, and you can also cook dog meat soup." Before he finished speaking, Qu Siqi suffered another violent thump on the head, and quickly changed his words: "I'm just joking." "That dog saved me, I can't kill it." "Then I'm the only one to do it." "Wait." Bai Xiaozhou held him back.He turned around and said solemnly: "Xiaozhou, sometimes people need to make a choice. If we don't kill it, we will fall into eternal escape." Bai Xiaozhou stared at him blankly. He knew that she was at war with heaven and man, sighed, and patted her on the shoulder: "Leave it to me! Wait for my good news." He had already gone far, but Bai Xiaozhou was still standing there in a daze, at a loss for what to do.Of course, she hopes to be freed from this endless pursuit as soon as possible. For this reason, she has also killed people. I don’t know when, she is no longer afraid of killing people. She is killing those black-clothed killers in the attic. Sometimes, she even felt happy. This feeling frightened her.
