Ghost Breath - C17
In that critical moment, Su Hong pushed Su Qin forcefully and shouted: “Qin Qin, go! Don’t look back! ”
Su Qin staggered and almost fell. But in the next moment, she saw Su Hong being sucked back by the strong wind, but she was still shouting at her, “Let’s go! “Let’s go!”
Su Qin steeled her heart, she immediately grabbed onto the stone wall and went around the corner.
At the same time, the strong gale also appeared right behind her.
After she rounded the corner and avoided the strong wind, Su Qin finally escaped from the danger zone. She sat down on the ground weakly, feeling both sadness and fear.
“Dad!”
“Dad!”
“Can you hear me?”
“Dad, answer me!”
Su Qin cried as she made her last attempt. Unfortunately, the response she got was dead silence.
She wanted to rush back into the pit, but her reason pulled her back.
She knew very well that if even she got into an accident, then no one would be able to find Su Miao.
She felt she had to pull herself together, and that must be her father’s wish.
In other words, her life was something that Su Hong had to cherish no matter what.
Because there was no turning back the situation.
Even though she understood, she cried for a long time. When she cried until she was exhausted, she realized that she was still in the cave.
Being alone was very different from being alone with a lot of people, especially since the cave was so dark and she didn’t have a flashlight. Strange eyeballs appeared above her from time to time.
Su Qin decided to leave the cave first.
She would not be able to stay in this terrifying cave for a single moment longer.
Thus, she touched the stone wall and walked out of the cave step by step. Although he could not see his own fingers in front of him, there was no forked path.
A while later, she successfully reached the entrance of the cave.
Before entering the cave, she had felt that the atmosphere on the island was very gloomy, but now, compared to inside, the environment outside the cave was much better. At least, it was spacious enough to be able to see things clearly.
At this time, the night wind on the island became even colder, and the temperature felt much colder. Su Qin suspected that she would not be able to endure until morning.
She folded her arms across her chest and stared into the cave, remembering how they had been a crowd just before they entered the cave, and how she was the only one left.
After crying for an unknown period of time, when Su Qin felt that all the tears on her face had frozen dry, she finally started to slowly walk along the river bank.
After walking aimlessly for a while, she found the ground full of gravel. She almost fell several times.
After a slight pause, she shouted loudly, “Is there anyone here? Is there anyone here? ”
As she expected, no one answered.
She felt that she was wasting her time. It was ridiculous to think that there would be someone here.
Still, she called out a few times.
Who knew that after she finished her last shout, a voice actually came out of the pitch-black darkness, “Yes!”
Su Qin almost jumped out of shock. She was not sure if it was out of excitement or fear, but she immediately replied him: “Who is it? “Who’s there?”
The man stopped talking, but Su Qin slowly heard the sound of water flowing, as though something was approaching.
Sure enough, a boat appeared on the river. On the boat, there was only one person holding a pair of oars, rowing skillfully. Su Qin could immediately tell that this was definitely not the boat they were on previously, because this ship was even larger and had exquisite decorations. There was even a tent on board.
When the boat approached the shore, Su Qin could faintly see the person standing at the bow of the boat. She saw that the man’s skin was especially dark, his hair was disheveled, and he wore a blue robe. On the outside of the robe, there was also a tattered vest, and a pair of cotton shoes.
Su Qin was immediately enlightened. She thought that this person was the one that Su Miao and him had seen together, the eccentric person who led a group of children over the stone bridge!
When she first got on the boat, she was also seriously listening to Mr. Wu’s analysis. She knew that the person who stole the child was a fool called Goose Egg from the village, could it be the person in front of her?
She realised that after he stopped the boat, he did not get off as he just stood there foolishly at the bow of the boat, looking at Su Qin.
Su Qin was not afraid. She went straight forward and leapt onto the bow of the ship.
Only now did she see clearly that this person’s description was exactly the same as the Mr. Wu and the rest. Moreover, this person was indeed wearing a longevity jacket, and his eyes looked lifeless as he emitted a foolish aura.
“Are you called Goose Egg?” Su Qin asked softly.
The other party rolled his eyes, thought for a while, then answered: “Yes, goose egg, Sun Erke!”
After confirming her identity, Su Qin continued to ask: “How are you here? And the children you took with you? ”
“I’ve been here all along, watching you enter the cave!” Sun Erke said bluntly.
“Then… What about the child you took with you? And my sister, where did you let them go? ” Su Qin’s heart started to beat rapidly.
Sun Erke suddenly pointed to the awning and said, “It’s here!”
“Here?”
Before Su Qin could react, a head popped out from inside the awning. That person was exactly the same as him, with a flower snakeskin on her head, without a doubt, it was Su Miao!
“Elder sister!” Su Miao ran out and grabbed Su Qin.
Su Qin looked like she was dreaming, and was in a daze. She looked at Su Miao, then at Sun Erke, and realised that Sun Erke’s face had a smile that was not a smile, but Su Miao seemed to be normal.
“What’s going on, Miao, what were you doing just now?” Su Qin asked with tears in her eyes.
“I sleep in the boat.”
“Sleep?”
“Yeah, I let my sister rest in the boat and then brought her to find Big Sis and Daddy. But Daddy is no longer here, only Big Sis is here.” Sun Erke said.
“Yes, big brother is a good person. Elder sister, don’t blame him.” Su Miao said.
This time, Su Qin was even more confused, and immediately asked: “Where are the other children? Where are they? ”
“They are all in the room. Big sister, don’t worry. Big brother already gave them food to eat.”
“Yeah, there’s peanut, cucumber, steamed bun …” Sun Erke muttered.
“Right, where’s father?” Su Miao suddenly remembered to ask.
Su Qin took a deep breath and said sorrowfully, “Father … “He’s gone …”
Therefore, Su Qin continued to cry as she explained to Su Miao about him, only she did not recount the details to him. After that, Sun Erke let the two sisters sit in the boat awning. Su Qin slowly listened to Su Miao, and finally understood what had happened.
So it was as she had guessed, Su Miao was indeed stolen by Sun Erke at home, and the other children were the same. Sun Erke then hid them inside a hidden thatched hut opposite to the stone bridge, saying that he needed to protect them and even put on their birthday clothes. Later, when Sun Erke was on his patrol, he secretly saw Mr. Wu and the others riding on the boat to the Small Snake Island. Coincidentally, Su Miao also saw this scene, and shouted that she wanted to go find her father and sister.
Su Miao had also told Su Qin that the other children’s relationship with him was very good, it was neither noisy nor boisterous. The reason was because Sun Erke had often brought them to play in the past, and even in the years that Sun Erke had disappeared, he would occasionally appear in front of them to give them delicious foods.
Su Qin finally understood why Su Miao was the only one making noise, it was because Su Miao was not familiar with him.
Su Qin also realized that Sun Erke was actually not that bad of a person. On the contrary, he might be a good person, but his way of doing things was a little strange.
His real purpose in stealing the children was also to protect them.
But why would he steal the child at this time? Did he foresee danger?
Su Qin really wanted to ask about it, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to communicate with Sun Erke.
Just like this, the ship successfully left the Small Snake Island, and returned to Flower Snake Village. Because it was warmer inside the awning, when Su Qin and Su Miao leaned on each other, they unknowingly fell asleep.
When Su Qin woke up, she heard Sun Erke shouting something outside.
“It’s over …” It’s over … The village is finished… “Everyone’s done for …”
Su Qin thought it was strange. She opened the curtain and saw Sun Erke standing at the bow of the ship like a madman.
“Goose egg, what do you mean by that?” Su Qin could not help but ask.
Sun Erke turned around, looked at Su Qin, then turned back and continued to shout: “It’s over… It’s over … “The village is finished …”
Su Qin kept having the feeling that Sun Erke seemed to know something, but she was unable to get a clear answer out of his.
Furthermore, what Sun Erke said was not wrong, the current miserable state of Flower Snake Village could indeed be described as finished.
Slowly, the boat docked. The first thing that Su Qin thought about when she stepped onto the land was how she would explain it to her grandparents.
On this trip, his father and uncle met with an accident, which dealt a heavy blow to the elderly.
Before they parted, Su Qin said their thanks to Sun Erke, but Sun Erke was still muttering something. Su Qin didn’t care about him, and directly brought Su Miao away.
The two of them went over the pile of rocks, passed the stone bridge, and returned to the Flower Snake Village. In that moment, Su Qin felt that the entire village had become unusually quiet.
Besides, Su Qin also felt a strange aura lingering around the village. She was sure that some parts of the village had changed.
She decided to go back to her grandfather’s house before she made any plans.
Along the way, the two sisters were on edge, and not a single passerby could be seen. The lights in every house were off, not a sound could be heard.
When they successfully reached home, she pushed open the door and saw that it was brightly lit, her grandparents were also there. Only then did Su Qin heave a sigh of relief, afraid that even the other family members would meet with accidents.
“Grandpa, grandma …” Su Qin’s face was full of grief. Just as she wanted to mention what happened at the Small Snake Island to Zheng Wangde and Zhu Qimei, she realized that the two elders didn’t even look at her. They were only staring at each other, their expressions sinister.
“You, let them go home. Did you see what happened? Miao is gone! They went to the island, too, and will be gone soon! ” Zheng Wang De pointed at Zhu Qimei’s forehead, and spoke with a coarse voice.
“Hey, blame me. What’s the use of an old guy like you? If you’re capable, go find someone!” Zhu Qimei replied.
Both of their expressions were fiendish, as if they wanted to devour each other.
Su Qin was stupefied for a moment, and said: “Grandfather … Grandmother … Didn’t Su Miao come back? ”
Su Miao also added, “That’s right, Miao is here.
However, the words of the two sisters were like the air. Zheng Wang De and Zhu Qimei didn’t even look at them and continued to argue.
“You dare to scold me? “You crazy woman, do you believe that I won’t kill you?!”
“Come on, old man, if you dare touch me, I’ll dare touch you!”
“Fine, go ahead. I’ll see what the f * * k you can do!”
“Hehe, I can do it!”
Su Qin realized that the two old men were arguing more and more excessively, the way they were speaking was extremely weird, the way they were speaking was also not like how they normally talked. Su Qin knew that her Grandfather and Grandmother’s relationship had always been good, and she really couldn’t understand why they were quarreling like this.
Zheng Wang De and Zhu Qimei continued to argue ferociously, completely disregarding the Su Qin sisters at the side. As if they were possessed, they immediately took action.
Su Qin felt that something was amiss, she quickly pulled Su Miao and retreated. Su Miao was so scared that she was about to cry.
After cursing a few more times for being hard to listen to, Zhu Qimei finally made the first move and grabbed Zheng Wentai’s face. Zheng Wangde was not one to be outdone, and also grabbed onto Zhu Qimei’s hair.
The two of them immediately started fighting.
Su Qin covered her mouth as she dared not imagine it. But what frightened her the most was not the fight between Zheng Wentai and Zhu Qimei, but the two old men’s fingernails that had become completely long and sharp, and were clawing and stabbing at each other’s face.
Instantly, Zheng Wangde and Zhu Qimei’s faces were covered in blood.
Su Qin and Su Miao were so scared that they did not even dare to make a sound.
Su Qin remembered that when they were on the boat, Su Hong had told her about what had happened in front of Jiang Youcai’s home. Not only did the cadaver in the tree branch come to life, they had also grown sharp fingernails.
Water! Water! The rotten water! The village was being corroded. Everyone was being corroded!
The answer in Su Qin’s heart was already close to Su Hong, and in his extreme terror, Sun Erke’s words once again echoed in her ears.
“It’s over …” It’s over … The village is finished… “Everyone’s done for …”
Su Qin suddenly felt that Sun Erke had probably foreseen this disaster and passed it on to her.
At this time, other than the sounds of Zheng Wangde and Zhu Qimei fighting and cursing, Su Qin heard some other sounds that seemed to come from the room.
Sure enough, the door opened and a woman’s head slowly peeked out.
“Aunt?” Su Qin and Su Miao recognised each other. That person was her first aunt, Zheng Gaang’s wife.
Just as Su Qin was thinking that she could finally find a normal person, she realized that his aunt had a weird expression. As she stared at the two sisters, she unexpectedly broke into a wide grin, and drool started dripping down her face.
“Come, Qin Qin, Miao. Auntie’s nails are scratching.”
As she spoke, Aunt Su Qin stretched out her long and pointed black fingernails and drew with her brush. Her eyes were sinister and strange, completely different from before.
Su Qin and Su Miao felt their hairs stand on end. Su Qin immediately picked up Su Miao and ran out the door.
Su Qin could also tell that his Grandfather, Grandmother, and Aunt had all been corroded by the corpse inside the cave. Right now, they were like monsters that had lost all humanity.
Once we were outside, Su Qin held Su Miao’s hands and said: “Miao, you have to run with big sister. Let’s leave this place!”
Su Miao nodded heavily.
Su Qin decided that even if the sky was still dark, she would still take her sister and leave. She could no longer stay here, absolutely not. This was because she could foresee that the other villagers would become the same as her grandparents.
Thus, the two sisters quickly ran away from the Flower Snake Village.
Now, his father and uncle were no longer around. His grandparents and aunts had all been corroded. It was as if they were the only ones left in this world. As he thought about it, Su Qin’s tears fell again.
Just like this, the two sisters travelled back and forth within the Flower Snake Village. The entire village was still terrifyingly quiet, but Su Qin could faintly hear some sound, as if something in her surroundings had moved.
Suddenly, the rain began to fall from the sky. The wind became stronger and stronger, accompanied by the rumbling of thunder. Soon, it began to rain.
Su Qin and Su Miao ran until they were out of breath and arrived at the foot of a mountain. It was at this time that Su Qin finally saw the villagers.
They were all standing on the hillside, hunched over in the rain. Their eyes were lifeless, and they were using their long, pointed black nails to continuously stroke the branches.
Yes, just as she had expected, they were corroded.
Su Qin’s last sliver of hope was instantly extinguished.
This scene further confirmed her thoughts of leaving the Flower Snake Village.
Then, she pulled Su Miao and continued to rush towards the entrance of the village.
“Sister, I’m so tired!” Su Miao was already exhausted.
Without saying a word, Su Qin carried Su Miao on her back.
The sound of wind and rain was like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves.
Those ginkgo trees’ leaves swayed and rustled, as if the earth itself was trembling.
When they were almost to the village entrance, Su Qin saw an even more terrifying scene and was so shocked that she almost fell down.
It turned out that the ginkgo trees that were nailed with black cloth and the cadaver s that were to be buried had actually all opened up a small hole. cadaver s that were shiny black were climbing out of the tree trunk one by one.
The cadaver were all alive!
Su Qin felt like she was in a nightmare, an endless nightmare.
At this moment, behind her body, on both sides of her body, cadaver were crawling on the ground incessantly. They were even entangled with the villagers.
Su Miao began to cry loudly.
Su Qin also wanted to cry, but she had no choice. She had to bring Su Miao far, far away from this corroded Flower Snake Village!
In the end, when the Su Qin sisters successfully arrived at the village entrance, they did not stop.
On the other side, inside a thatched cottage by the lake, Sun Erke was standing in front of a stove.
“Shh …” Keep quiet, keep quiet… Don’t let them find out… Big brother will protect you, and will always protect you! ”
Oh no!
