Under the strong twisting impact, Hu Ma obediently followed the little girl in red clothes home for dinner.

Mu Ran's brain was completely awakened by the strong impact. Everything he saw completely destroyed all his sanity, but he was unable to question...

It was already dark, an oil lamp was lit in the hut, and his mother-in-law was waiting for him at the Eight Immortals table.

A meal in this simple hut is actually very rich.

Hu Ma was out of breath when she ran away just now. In addition, she was frightened by those ghosts, and she was in a trance. She didn't know how long she had been running away. She just saw a plate of pickles and two pickles on the Eight Immortals table.

A bowl of porridge and a plate of meat cut into squares.

So Hu Ma sat obediently on the left side of the Eight Immortals table, and her mother-in-law sat at the top.

Xiao Hongtang was now squatting on the beam, stretching her head and looking down.

The lights were swaying, people were looming, and there seemed to be something peeking in from the shadows outside the house.

The mother-in-law didn't speak, she just ate the rice in silence. She only touched the pickles on the plate.

Xiao Hongtang on the beam didn't say anything, just blinked and looked at Hu Ma who was sitting next to the Eight Immortals table.

The atmosphere was strange and depressing. Hu Ma finally couldn't bear it anymore and carefully broke the silence:

"Then...what exactly are those things?"

"..."

Both his mother-in-law and Xiao Hongtang, who was playing on the beam, turned to look at him. The atmosphere in the room seemed to be even more depressing.

"Evil."

In the silence, the mother-in-law slowly spoke: "As soon as it gets dark, those things will come out."

"You were injured so badly that you forgot the rule about not going out at night."

"..."

"I……"

It was okay not to listen to this answer, but she felt even more furious in her heart. Hu Ma whispered a word, but she didn't know what to ask.

"There's no need to be so afraid."

The mother-in-law glanced at him and said slowly: "You are just fine. Your body is weak. It is normal to encounter evil spirits."

"As long as you listen to your mother-in-law and eat more meat, you will slowly get better.

"..."

"Eat meat?"

Hu Ma had no choice but to look at the square piece of meat on the plate.

The original piece was eaten by Xiao Hongtang, but the current piece looks like it was newly cooked.

But even if it is freshly cooked, it still has a cold temperament. The oil has solidified, and it glows strangely white under the oil lamp. It is placed on the plate coldly.

He had been force-fed many times before, but he still couldn't taste what kind of meat it was.

You can be sure that it is not pork, nor beef, and certainly not human flesh, nor anything I have ever eaten.

In addition, the shape of the meat always reminded him of the meat used to commemorate the dead in previous lives.

The conflict in his heart made it difficult for him to pick up the chopsticks, but the mother-in-law stopped the chopsticks in her hand and looked at him faintly:

"You don't believe your mother-in-law?"

Hu Ma met her eyes and was slightly startled.

"letter!"

He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pulled the plate in front of him, lowered his head and started to nibble on it.

According to previous experience, after being stuffed with meat, it is the kind of torture that cannot be described in words. It is impossible to escape, so at least there is food in your stomach to carry it.

The greasy meat was chewed up by himself and swallowed into his stomach. His already very hungry body gradually felt full.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when this piece of meat entered my stomach, digestion started immediately.

It seemed that the meat came back to life after entering his stomach.

They squirm in your body, seep into your organs and blood, and repair your body.

The strange feeling cheered him up, and the wounds on both shoulders seemed to feel lighter.

The mother-in-law watched him eat the piece of meat cleanly, her face seemed to soften slightly, and she said slowly: "Good boy, after eating, go back to the house to rest early."

"Purinate on the wall when you wake up at night. Don't go out or look outside. Those things are still there!"

"Tomorrow, my mother-in-law will take you to Laohuotangzi and pay homage to your ancestors. Then you'll be fine."

"..."

"thing?"

Hu Ma actually still has many questions to ask.

I vaguely remembered that there were extremely painful tortures waiting for me every night, which was like a hellish scene, but tonight, did I really let myself sleep like this?

He also wanted to ask clearly, but when he faced his mother-in-law's face hidden in the shadow of the oil lamp, he subconsciously shrank.

I just secretly glanced outside the door and saw that it was completely dark outside, without even a hint of moonlight. It was so dark that I couldn't even see my fingers.

Furthermore, it seemed that the light of the oil lamps in the room had been squeezed to a dim level. There seemed to be countless weird things hidden in the sticky night, staring at him with pairs of strange and sinister eyes. Unknowingly,

My back was already soaked with sweat.

He immediately put away his dishes and chopsticks obediently and got into the side room next to him.

The room was narrow, with only one wooden bed and one bed that should have been a freshly made quilt, thick and cold.

He didn't dare to sleep, so he hid in the dark and narrow side room, his ears pricked up, and his mind was on the other side of the main room.

Outside the house, the sound of my mother-in-law chanting sutras could be heard, faintly visible, mysterious and obscure.

"Creak, creak, creak..."

Besides the sound of sutras, there was also a strange sound mixed in. I stretched my head and looked through the crack in the door. It was Xiao Hongtang who was holding an unknown bone and grinding her teeth.

The uneasiness in Hu Ma's heart reached the extreme. He hugged the quilt and silently hit his head.

After such a scare, my head was obviously clearer than before, and the dizzy feeling seemed to gradually disappear.

But besides being frightened, my heart was filled with endless questions and suspicions.

"So, I was reborn in this boy named Hu Ma?"

"The grandson of that sinister mother-in-law was harmed by her enemy. She wanted to bring his soul back, but she accidentally brought him back to me?"

"If this is the case, then what were the previous tortures?"

"She just seems to think that I don't remember things, but I'm not her grandson at all, so what can I remember?"

"What is the Tai Sui meat she asked me to eat? Is it the same as the one in the news in my previous life? But it's not the same, it doesn't look like it, and it tastes exactly like meat."

"..."

He had a strong desire to understand these things, but now he didn't even have the courage to raise his head and look out the window.

It was as if I was imprisoned by the night on this small wooden bed.

In such a world, Hu Ma originally didn't dare to sleep, but she didn't know whether it was because she dragged her weak body around for so long that she was mentally exhausted, or whether it was the sound of her mother-in-law chanting sutras and Xiao Hongtang's teeth grinding outside that had a different meaning.

A strange hypnotic effect.

Not long after he was alert, he became drowsy and fell asleep without realizing it.

In a daze, it seemed that I had come to a dark and deep place, surrounded by dark red mist.

His body quietly pushed through the fog and walked forward, suddenly his steps paused slightly.

In front of it, there was a dilapidated stand with a broken incense burner on it, and behind it was a large area of ​​darkness.

You can vaguely see that there seems to be a shadow of a certain god in the darkness, but you can't see it clearly.

Hu Ma subconsciously took a few steps forward, unable to hear her own footsteps.

After approaching the stage in front, he found that it looked like an incense table in a temple. Even the entire space looked like an abandoned temple, but it was dilapidated. There had been no incense for who knows how many years. There were several tributes placed on the incense table.

The plates were all empty.

And inside that incense burner, only half of the burner was covered in ashes, it was cold and silent, and no incense had been seen for an unknown period of time.

But the strange thing is that next to the incense burner, half a red incense stick as long as the length of the little finger is placed upside down.

It looked brand new and had a familiar aura to him.

Hu Ma stood fixedly in front of the incense burner for an unknown amount of time. His heart moved slightly. Out of some unknown psychology, he subconsciously picked up the half of the red incense stick and put it in gently.

into the incense burner, and then slowly withdrew his hand.

"laugh……"

After putting the incense stick into the incense burner, it suddenly lit up inexplicably.
