C16 Bell tone
There were many kinds of people who lived in vain. There were countless carpenters, coffinmakers, mourners, and coffin bearers.
Actually, as long as one lived in vain, no matter what they did, there would be a certain amount of risk. After all, they were not just eating in the mortal world.
The adoptive father had once said that doing useless things was like walking around in the Yin-Yang world and eating food from the living and eating food from the dead.
Thus, most experienced old masters would learn one or two life-saving skills. After all, they were not afraid of ten thousand, but only afraid of one.
Liu Songxian had carried a coffin for so many years, it was not strange for him to have such a consummate skill.
However, the surrounding sounds had become restless. Waves of whistling wind were resounding in my ears …
I felt a genuine fear that I might lose my life at any moment.
The sound of thunder and the sound of wind mixed together. At this moment, I suddenly saw a figure quickly shuttling through the forest, bringing with it a wave of strange laughter …
My breathing became heavier and heavier, and at that moment, I could almost hear the sound of my own heart beating. I looked at Liu Songxian who was at the side.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with nervousness as he looked at his surroundings in panic.
It wasn't the first time that I wanted to stand up and continue escaping, but Liu Songxian had already suppressed me.
From the looks of it, he seemed to have some confidence in this move.
Suddenly, I felt as if something was slowly approaching my ear.
He couldn't see it with his eyes, but he could clearly feel it. Perhaps, this was also a woman's intuition …
At the same time, I felt a chill spreading in my surroundings and my ears... It was as if someone was breathing heavily …
I could even smell a rotten smell around me, as if at this moment... Something is right in front of me, but I... But he couldn't see it!
My body uncontrollably trembled. At this moment, the fear in my heart had already reached its limit, and at this moment, Liu Songxian's grip on my wrist tightened.
It was as though I was worried that I would suddenly jump out of fear. However, I calmed myself down and took a deep breath.
Right now, I have no other choice but to trust this person in front of me.
After around fifteen minutes, the surrounding sound gradually calmed down. At this time, I saw that the black mud on Liu Songxian's forehead had actually turned slightly purple, as if it was mixed with the color of blood …
After which, I realized that the mud on my forehead had the same color.
It seems like what happened just now wasn't an illusion. In that instant, beside us … There really is something...
After knowing this, my entire body turned cold. I took in a deep breath as I felt everything around me.
It seemed like … After he truly calmed down, Liu Songxian, who was beside him, also let out a sigh of relief and said:
"It's finally over, but it scared me."
At this time, I had also escaped Liu Songxian's grasp, and asked coldly:
"Why are you here? At this time, shouldn't you be at the Old Bull Village? "
At this time, Liu Songxian also dragged me and ran down the mountain.
"I'll explain all of this later. It's better to leave the mountain as soon as possible!"
At this moment, I can already be said to have broken Funerary Lady's rules. I didn't complete the night watch, but … There seemed to be no other way.
After Liu Songxian arrived at the foot of the mountain, just as I was about to speak, I heard a series of bell sounds coming from the village.
The sound of the bell was melodious, and it seemed to be coming from the very center of the village, resounding throughout the entire village.
At the same time, amidst the melodious ringing of the bell, crisp ringing of bells could be heard. Although the sound wasn't loud, it sounded as if it was ringing in my ears, and was extremely distinct.
When I heard such a voice, I couldn't help but furrow my brows again. At this time, Liu Songxian turned around and asked in a strange voice:
"What's the matter with you?"
At this moment, my face was extremely unsightly, with a hint of strangeness and rigidity.
It should be around three in the morning by now. What kind of bell would ring at this time?
Moreover, with such a loud and clear bell, it must be an extremely large bell. However, there was no such large bell in the village …
In other words, where did this sound come from? Why did it suddenly ring?
Furthermore, although the bell chime and the bell chime were clear, I could hear that within the melodious melody, there seemed to be a different melody. Moreover, this melody, sounded … It was very similar to the melody that was played when he was doing something white.
It was a few completely different things, but it gave me a similar feeling. What were the similarities?
It's a kind of power that makes you feel sad...
But why didn't Liu Songxian show any abnormality when he heard the voice? Logically speaking, he should be very surprised as well. Why would he even ask such a question?
"The bell and the bell..." Do you know what it is? "
"Bell and bell?" Liu Songxian asked in puzzlement:
"What bell?"
"Didn't you hear?"
I feel that it's even stranger, did Liu Songxian not hear that voice?
However, it was hard to tell if he was speaking the truth, but …
Judging from his actions just now, he didn't lie to me this time. I really didn't hear anything …
However, right after Liu Songxian asked this question, his face suddenly froze, his expression changed extremely quickly, and turned pale white in an instant.
After a few seconds, he slowly recovered and wiped the sweat off his forehead as if it was a conditioned reflex.
"I didn't hear it …" "I didn't hear anything …"
Liu Songxian said as he shook his head. After that, he looked around and said:
"Let's hurry up and go, otherwise, something evil might happen again in a while."
Liu Songxian's condition just now was obvious that his legs had gone soft. What caused him to become this scared?
Could it be that Liu Songxian heard this voice? Or... What did he know about the voice?
In that instant, he was clearly frightened. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a huge reaction, and this reaction was also the hardest to fake.
Did he think of something, or did he hear something? Or... What did he feel?
But Liu Songxian didn't even give me a chance to ask, he dragged me and continued to run.
However, at this moment, my wariness towards him became increasingly heavy. Even though he saved me while I was on the mountain just now, but …
He had always been wary of living people, and this man in front of him was far too suspicious.
Ever since I invited him over, he has lied to me more than once …
I struggled to break free from him. I felt as though my body was about to collapse from exhaustion.
Waves of pain and exhaustion swept through my brain, and I felt as if I might faint at any moment.
"Just what are you doing!?" What are you trying to do!? "
The pressure from the continuous days, almost made me unable to breathe. Grief had already been vented out with the crying just now.
However, the grievances and resentments in his heart were still accumulating, and now they had finally erupted.
Seeing me like this, Liu Songxian's pupils contracted, and he said:
"You have to believe me, I've known your father for many years, I won't harm you.
I also know that Grandma Daocao told you to be wary of me last night, but little girl, you can't trust that old lady entirely. "
He knows what the Grandma Daocao told me? I slightly frowned. Since he already knew about it, there was nothing for me to hide.
He might as well lay his cards on the table:
"It's precisely because you've known my foster father for so many years that you're not worth my trust. I only have hatred towards him.
Also, I do not believe you, but it is not all because of Grandma Daocao. What you have done, is not someone to be trusted in the first place … "
"Girl, there are some things I lied to you about … It's my mistake, but I won't …"
Before Liu Songxian could finish his sentence, the melodious ringing of the bell suddenly stopped and disappeared, as though it was interrupted by something, causing me to feel uncomfortable.
At the same time, I suddenly heard a sharp cry reverberate in the village from afar. This cry was filled with pain and was already distorted …
