our supernatural life

Chapter 111 Escape from the Tiger's Mouth

Wheat couldn't swallow this meal, but seeing Zhang Jingping eating happily, he couldn't say anything.When he finally got back to the room, the first thing he did was to run to the bed to observe the floor, and sure enough there were no footprints.

After Zhang Jingping came out of the bathroom, he saw Mai Mai almost lying on the floor, and he couldn't help but startled: "What's wrong?" The Zhang family's education is strict, and children are not allowed to do this kind of lying on the floor since they were five years old. .

"The footprints are gone." Mai Mai was puzzled, "Just now when I was eating in the restaurant, I dripped fermented bean curd on the floor, and when I lowered my head, it disappeared—"

Zhang Jingping interrupted Maimai's words with a sudden gesture, and raised his voice slightly: "I guess you haven't had a good rest, and you're a little acclimatized. Go to bed early, and you can still eat these snacks when you arrive in the ancient city tomorrow." He said as he said While winking at wheat.

After hearing a few knocks on the door, Zhang Jingping said please come in, and Shuihuamei came in with a pot of tea: "This is Pu'er that has been hidden for nearly ten years. Drink a little before going to bed to digest food." After talking, she laughed. Then quit.

Zhang Jingping touched the door and listened for a while before turning back: "There is no one else, tell me, what happened in the restaurant?"

Mai Mai told about the footprints and fermented bean curd, and Zhang Jingping's face gradually became serious: "Could it be that this is also a place where Gu is raised? It disappeared in a blink of an eye... Could it be golden silkworm Gu?" He thought for a while, poured a cup of tea and put it on his nose After smelling it before, he took another sip, his expression changed, "There are sleeping pills in here!"

Mai Mai was taken aback: "Could it be that we were cheated? Why did the car break down on the way? Could it be their trick?" He didn't have the nerve to say that Zhang Shengyi lied to others. That's all, what's the matter with compensating his grandson?

Zhang Jingping thought for a while with a sullen face: "Grandpa did say that when he left, and the brand used by the person who came here is also suitable... However, it is not a good thing to put sleeping pills in the tea, we still have to be careful. If you can’t, then leave this place first, Gu masters are very difficult to deal with, and those who can raise golden silkworm Gu are not ordinary Gu masters. Although I have learned herbal medicine, I don’t have any medicine powder to drive away Gu, so it’s best to leave first. We were wrong in our suspicions, because of Grandpa's relationship, it's not easy for them to turn against us, but if they really have bad intentions, it will be dangerous for us to stay here."

Of course Mai agreed, the two turned off the lights and packed their simple luggage in the dark.Zhang Jingping opened the door a crack to see if there was no one outside, and the lights in the corridor were also turned off, so he took the lead and slipped out.

Most of the rooms in the hotel were out of lights, only one cabin was still lit.They had to pass under the window of this room if they wanted to leave the hotel.The two held their breath, bent over and walked lightly along the base of the wall.Walking to the window, I suddenly heard a man's voice saying violently: "No! These two people must be detained!" It was Qi Ren's voice.

Zhang Jingping pulled Mai Mai once, and the two squatted in the flowers under the window without moving.Qi Ren had already walked to the window and stood breathing heavily, it was impossible to run out through the gate at this time.Shuihuamei's voice came out angrily: "Don't be confused, that's the Zhang family, the Zhang family in Longhushan! Are you tired of working because you messed with them?"

Qi Ren took a few deep breaths, seemed to have calmed down a bit, and calmed down his voice: "You are the one who is confused! The Zhang family sent people to the old man. Now that they are gone, they will only go to the old man for it. Who would want it?" Come to us? This is a great opportunity. The old man went to Dudao. You also know that in the place where Dudao goes, people who enter will die, and as long as the old man dares to go in, he will never come back! If he doesn’t come back, then In addition, once the Zhang family gets involved, the whole village will be in chaos, and this is my chance! If I can get the Gu King, what am I afraid of?"

Shui Huamei sighed: "Gu King, Gu King, you almost think of a Gu King as a madman. In fact, that thing is really that good? Now I feel more and more that raising Gu is really not a good thing. If I didn't raise Gu at the beginning Gu, that's good..."

Qi Ren softened his voice: "Don't be stupid. Without a skill, how would we live today? If we didn't raise the golden silkworm Gu, maybe we would still be living a hard life in the mountains. Besides, you have raised the Gu. , can you still regret it? It’s been four or five years, right? This year you have to buy someone to eat for the golden silkworm. Isn’t this just right? The kid surnamed Zhang keeps it. This is the trump card for dealing with the Zhang family in the future. The one from Mai will be given to Golden Silkworm, just right."

Hearing this, Mai Mai's hair stood on end.God, if he hadn't been suspicious, if Zhang Jingping hadn't tasted the sleeping pills in the tea, then he would have been fed to Gu by now, right?The scene of hundreds of bugs crawling around suddenly appeared in his mind, and Xiaomai shivered involuntarily.

Shuihuamei didn't speak, and only sighed after a long time: "At the beginning I said not to raise... that is still a big child, how can I bear to feed it to Gu."

Qi Ren was a little impatient: "I can't bear it, you have raised it, what are you talking about now? After a while, it will be around three o'clock, and they should be asleep even if they don't drink tea. Remember, Just let that kid surnamed Zhang fall asleep, and don’t let him wake up when he’s not needed. I’ll go back to the ancient city as soon as I’m done, and I can’t let them suspect it.”

Shuihuamei's sigh seemed to be swallowed by something. For a long time, the creaking sound of the bed legs came from the room. Mai and Qi Jingping seized the opportunity to cross the yard and ran out of the gate.

"Where are you going?" Mai looked around.The SUV was parked in front of the gate, but unfortunately they didn't have a key, so it seemed that they had to use their legs to get around.

Zhang Jingping said decisively: "Go back to Dali. The safest way now is to fly back immediately." He took out his mobile phone while talking, "I'll make a call—ah!"

Mai Mai was startled by his voice, Zhang Jingping had already dropped the mobile phone on the ground, and by the moonlight, Mai Mai saw something black was squeezing out from the gap between the keys of the mobile phone.He quickly took out his mobile phone and found that it was normal, and nothing came out of the buttons.But before he could speak, there was already movement in the yard, apparently startled by Zhang Jingping's sound just now.Now the two of them didn't bother to make any phone calls, and ran away, plunging into the woods beside the road...

I don't know how far he ran, but Zhang Jingping fell down with a thump, panting and said, "I, I can't run anymore."

Mai Mai was stronger than him, but he also ran so that his chest hurt and his legs became weak. He leaned on the tree and gasped for breath: "You, you just shouted, what did you shout..." If he didn't shout that voice, Qi Ren wouldn't be alarmed. They don't need to be so embarrassed.

Zhang Jingping turned over, panting like a bellows: "Bug, bug... There are bugs in the phone..."

Xiaomai recalled those black things squeezed out from the gap of the keys, most likely they were bugs...but, "Where did the bugs come from?"

"It must be a Gu worm. I don't know when Qi Ren dropped it secretly. By the way, hurry up and check the things on your body to see if there are any more?"

The two rummaged through the moonlight, and sure enough, several black worms crawled out of Zhang Jingping's backpack, but there were none in Xiaomai's luggage.Zhang Jingping threw his backpack away: "Why don't you have it in your bag?"

Mai Mai scratched her hair: "I don't know... Maybe this Qi Ren knows you are from the Zhang family, so he put some worms specially, I'll forget it..." Anyway, it is to feed the golden silkworm Gu.

Zhang Jingping smiled bitterly, took a breath and looked around: "Where did we go?"

Wheat shakes his head.I was afraid of being caught just now, so I ran around, who knows where I ran.Zhang Jingping didn't expect to get an answer either, so he got up and said, "We still have to find the road, so we won't get lost if we follow the road." He just stood up straight, when he suddenly bent down with his hands on his stomach.

"What's the matter?" Mai Mai supported him with one hand, and saw that Zhang Jingping was bent over, his hands were pressing his lower abdomen tightly, his face was pale with pain, "It can't be appendicitis, right?" It would be bad if it was acute appendicitis.

Zhang Jingping reluctantly shook his head: "No, I have already had my appendix cut..."

"Is that a stomachache? Stomach?"

Zhang Jingping was in so much pain that he couldn't stand, he leaned on the tree and fell back to the ground: "I'm afraid, yes, he was poisoned by Gu."

"Gu poison? When did he inject the poison?" Mai Mai desperately thought back, but he and Zhang Jingping have never been separated. What chance does Qi Ren have to attack only Zhang Jingping?

"Don't think about it..." Zhang Jingping was in so much pain that it was difficult to speak, "Gu masters use Gu to poison, there are too many methods that we can think of... But I guess, they dare not let me die, just toss... If I can't stand it, so I have to go back and find them..."

Mai Mai's heart moved: "Could it be in the food? When I eat it, I feel that all the dishes have a fishy smell..."

Zhang Jingping struggled and raised his head to look at him: "It's possible... Gu, you can't be killed by frying...but if it's really in the vegetables...how are you okay?"

"Eh?" Mai Mai was also taken aback for a moment, "I..." Indeed, he didn't feel any symptoms at all, could it be because...

"What are you doing?" Zhang Jingping was startled when he saw Mai Mai draw out the knife.

Mai Mai drew a knife on his wrist directly: "You drink."

Zhang Jingping stepped back: "What are you doing? Let me drink, drink blood?"

"Try to drink some." Mai Mai didn't know if it would be useful, because he suddenly remembered that he had drank Ganoderma lucidum liquid, a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, which according to Gui Zi'er could cure all kinds of poisons and cure all diseases. Worms should also have some curative effect, right?

Zhang Jingping frowned and leaned on Mai Mai's arm, and suddenly sniffed: "What's the smell? Why does your blood smell like medicine?"

"I said you have grown—" Mai Mai swallowed back the words dog nose abruptly, "Hurry up and drink." No wonder Zhang Shengyi wanted to send Zhang Jingping to learn herbal medicine. Can you smell the Ganoderma lucidum?

Zhang Jingping took a sip, and tapped his mouth: "It seems to be Ganoderma lucidum? What good food have you eaten that has such a strong smell of Ganoderma lucidum in your blood?"

Mai Mai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is it useful for you to drink it?"

Zhang Jingping felt it for a while: "Well, the pain is lighter."

Mai Mai was overjoyed: "Then have another two sips!"

Zhang Jingping licked two more sips, and asked Mai Mai to stop the bleeding and bandage: "Ganoderma lucidum is a good thing, but it is not completely suitable for Gu poison. I am in less pain now, and I think nothing will happen if I hold on for a few hours. That's it, hurry up and bandage, don't waste such good blood."

Without a word, Mai Mai tore off a piece of clothing and tied the wound.His current healing ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the bleeding has stopped as soon as the wound is bandaged.

"Then can you go now?"

"Yes." Zhang Jingping reluctantly got up, "Fortunately, I don't eat too much." The Zhang family's upbringing, the food is only [-]%, although it is delicious, it can't be overdone, so although he thinks those dishes are very good, he doesn't think too much. Eat too much.

Mai Mai carried the backpack, supported Zhang Jingping with one hand, and walked in the dark forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow. After walking for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Can they find out our whereabouts by poisoning you?"

Zhang Jingping's pain was slightly lighter, but his stomach still felt like a needle prick. He reluctantly said, "It's not good if it's just a poison, but it's bad if it's a voodoo. Now I don't feel anything other than a stomachache. Maybe they thought they could use sleeping pills to settle it." We, that's why we didn't play Gu, it's really thankful."

Wheat doesn't think there's anything to be thankful for, things are bad enough for them now.It would be fine if they were in the ancient city of Lijiang, but now they are on the way, he doesn't know where they are, and they want to walk back to Dali along the road, can't Qi Ren think of it?

"I don't think we can go back to Dali. Qi Ren will probably stop us on the way back."

"Then where else can we go? We don't take the road, but the woods. He doesn't have that many people, right?"

"I don't think it's safe. Did you hear that? Qi Ren said that he would go back to the ancient city as soon as he finished his work, and he couldn't let 'they' become suspicious. Who is this 'they'? Are they the ones who should really come to pick us up?"

"You want to go to the ancient city? Qi Ren is going to the ancient city!"

"But he must still be looking for us now, and it is impossible to return to the ancient city immediately. If we can stop a car to go to the ancient city, it will be much safer than walking back to Dali. And when we arrive in the ancient city, we will have a way to contact the Zhang family."

"Don't you have a mobile phone?" Zhang Jingping was also in pain and confused, and only then remembered, "Your mobile phone can be used, right?"

"I, I'm PHS, I can't use it here..."

"Little Smart..." Zhang Jingping almost closed it in one breath, "Can't you buy a mobile phone? How old are you and still use PHS?"

Wheat is ashamed.In the past, he was in Binhai, and it was very convenient to use PHS, but after he came out, he was always with Shao Jing and didn't need a mobile phone at all. The combination of various factors led to the fact that he didn't have a mobile phone when he needed it now...

After Zhang Jingping finished speaking, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue: "I'm sorry, I just said that at this time... we are a little unlucky..."

Wheat couldn't help laughing out loud.Although Zhang Jingping's stomach still hurts, he couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he said: "You are right. The most dangerous place is the safest place. It is indeed safer to go to the ancient city than to go back to Dali. However, we just don't know Can you stop the car?"

"Give it a try." Mai Mai helped him up, "I hope we have better luck."

So when people are unlucky to the end, their luck will be strangely better. Not long after Xiaomai and Zhang Jingping found the road, they saw a jeep coming from the direction of Dali.Mai Mai has good eyesight, and by the light of the headlights, he can see clearly that the person driving the car is definitely not Qi Ren or that Xiaoxin, so he climbs up the roadbed and waves his hands to stop.

The jeep brushed against him and drove past. Maimai's heart sank, but the car stopped 20 meters away, and the driver poked his head out: "What are you doing?"

Mai Mai ran over overjoyed: "Master, we are traveling on our own and lost our way. Could you please give us a ride to the ancient city of Lijiang?" As he spoke, he took out his wallet, "I don't have much money, and I will wait until I enter the ancient city. Find a bank—"

The driver interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Are you alone?"

"There is another one, my cousin, he has a stomachache, and he is under the road."

The driver took a good look at Mai Mai by the light of the headlights, probably thinking that he didn't look like a bad guy: "Get your cousin up here."

The jeep was very spacious, and Mai Mai thanked Zhang Jingping into the car, and introduced himself: "My name is Qiao Chun, and my cousin's name is Chang Ping. What's your last name?"

The driver was nearly 40 years old, with a dark complexion, and said casually while driving, "My surname is Qi."

Mai Mai's heart skipped a beat, why is it another Qi?

"Which Qi is it? The Qi of Qilian Mountain is still Qi Qi?"

The driver hummed casually, didn't answer him, and just drove.He seemed to be in a hurry. Although it was night, the car was driving very fast.Mai Mai and Zhang Jingping exchanged glances, feeling a little uncertain in their hearts, and dared not speak any more.Mai Mai quietly reached into the bag to feel for the knife. After a long time of feeling, she didn't find the knife, but found a round object. When she took it out, it turned out to be a whistle.He had never seen this thing before, so he looked at it with the light. It was long and narrow in shape, shiny silver, with some patterns engraved on it.This is definitely not his stuff, when did it get into his backpack?

While Mai Mai was thinking about it, the jeep suddenly braked suddenly, and he and Zhang Jingping slammed into the back of the seat at the same time.Mai Mai was startled, afraid that the driver was about to do something, but when he looked up, he saw that the driver had turned off all the lights and said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound, don't make a sound!"

Seeing him staring vigilantly out of the car window, Mai Mai leaned over to the car window to take a look, and her scalp immediately exploded.I saw the bright moonlight outside, illuminating a piece of silvery white on the road. In this piece of silvery white, a group of "people" were walking slowly.This group of people is tall, short, fat, or thin, but the only thing they have in common is that they all have blank expressions.They walked towards the jeep, but as if they didn't see the car, they walked past the car body when they got close.At such a close distance, Mai Mai could see clearly that the bodies of those "people" were like gray mist, not like entities.

The driver lowered his body a bit, and said in a breathy voice: "Don't make a sound, you two, don't—" Before he finished speaking, music suddenly exploded in the car: "Wolf loves sheep, loves you!" Get crazy..."

"Fuck!" The driver blurted out, and hurriedly reached for the phone and snapped it off.But it was too late, the ghosts around the car turned their heads at the same time and stared at the jeep.Then, countless hands stretched out, and the sound of sharp nails scraping the car body was heard outside the car.These ghosts have no substance, but there is a white mark on the place where they scratched the glass. Countless hands scratched the glass at once, and Xiaomai felt that the glass was like paper, and it would be scratched in a few minutes up.

The driver suddenly pulled out a machete from under the seat, and yelled at Maimai and Zhang Jingping, "Don't move!" Then he kicked the car door and jumped down, slammed the door behind him, swung the machete, and pointed at the dense crowd. The phantom cut over.
