Became a vicious male mother

chapter278

The old man was not found, nor was the sheep.

They did find him a small wooden cabin.

The closer you get, the worse it smells—a fishy, ​​rotten stench.

He seems to be lost.

"Uncle Li!!" Gu Xinglan roared to the sky.

The crows in the woods suddenly took flight in all directions, and he heard their pitiful cries, which gave him goosebumps.

Gu Xinglan rubbed her arms.

It was getting dark, so finding our way back was the priority.

He took a deep breath and started walking downhill.

It's okay if we don't walk, but once we start walking, we lose all our sense of direction.

Trees were everywhere, all looking the same, and thick fog was rising in the air, like the end of the world was coming.

"Uncle Li!!!"

He roared at the sky again.

How come he even encountered a ghost wall? Isn't he supposed to be a lucky star? Gu Xinglan laughed in exasperation and could only pick up stones to mark the path along the tree.

Having markings makes things much easier.

As Gu Xinglan walked, the fog grew thicker and thicker. When he saw the indistinct little village, his eyes lit up.

"Is he back?" Gu Xinglan quickly threw aside the shards and ran over.

Upon closer inspection, what kind of awful place is this...?

It is a village, but not the village where the Li family lives.

Everywhere looked like it had been robbed; doors were missing half or a whole piece, windows had holes, or there were rooms without even window frames.

The exposed hole was as black as ink, eerie and sinister, and he always felt that someone was hiding inside the room spying on him.

That feeling of being watched, like a thorn in my side, returned.

Unfortunately, the sky darkened, and the fog rolled in completely.

This place is much like Li Jianbai's courtyard; it's quiet, eerily quiet.

However, he didn't stay in Li Jianbai's courtyard, mainly because of the feeling of being spied on.

He always felt like something was watching him.

Gu Xinglan dared not enter the village, remaining motionless outside. Even taking a step back was a struggle with her own mind.

Oh no! Although my brain isn't scared, the environmental stimuli are very real, and my body has already automatically responded.

External stimuli can activate the emotional center in the brain.

My feet! I can't move them!

This is exactly what a haunted island in a horror movie looks like.

After a half-minute break, seeing that visibility was already very low, Gu Xinglan wiped her face and was finally able to move her legs to find a place to sit down.

Why is there a village here?

He looked around.

Spider webs hung from the eaves, and the broken door was so withered that it looked as if it would crumble into powder at the slightest touch.

"anyone there?"

The feeling of being spied on was even stronger than before. Gu Xinglan felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

Is it effective to keep scaring him like this?

"Whether you're human or a ghost, come out!"

He simply doesn't believe in ghosts! Someone must be spying on him from the shadows!

But after the sound faded, there was still no one there.

The sound of the wind blowing past my ears was suddenly mixed with a few bleating sounds.

lamb!

I've been taking care of the lamb for a few days!

He was very familiar with this voice.

Gu Xinglan quickly took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it a few times.

My gaze instantly followed the sound of sheep bleating in my ear, locking onto the old man not far away.

In the misty fog.

The person sitting on the steps was so white it was dazzling. The mist obscured the lower half of the person's body, leaving only a faint outline of their long neck and head visible.

The moment he saw it, the old man's hair stood on end, his face turned as white as plaster, his pupils constricted, and he let out several gasps before screaming, "A ghost!! There's a ghost!!!"

Gu Xinglan's smile froze on the spot. Seeing that the old man was about to run away, he used the steps to get up and rush over.

As a result, his legs gave way, and he stumbled twice, causing him to fall flat on his face.

"Uncle Li, it's me! Gu Xinglan!"

The whistle called the lamb over, and the old man, now without his lamb, trembled.

I heard this sentence.

The old man turned his head, and sure enough, who else could it be but Gu Xinglan lying on the ground?

"Ouch! You little rascal! You almost scared me to death!"

Gu Xinglan grabbed the wool and got up from the ground.

The old man slapped my arm twice.

Grandpa Li was terrified by him; his face turned several shades pale.

It turns out that behind this dilapidated village is the Li family cemetery, where all the dead members of the Li family are buried.

The old man was just here for a routine inspection.

Behind the dilapidated village is a cemetery; the Li family's cemetery was so hastily constructed.

"Why not just demolish the village?"

Gu Xinglan held the sheep's hand with her left hand and supported the old man with her right.

"What do you know, you little idiot? As long as no one lives in this house, it's fine."

"Grandpa, do you know something? And what are you doing taking this sheep out so late at night?"

In the morning, I handed over the sheep-herding duties to him, and in the evening, I went to all this trouble by leading this sheep out again.

"I'm in charge of the sheep, of course I'll let one sheep out. Do you think I'd let you out? Don't you see how creepy this place gets at night?" The old man's fear hadn't subsided.

"Also, I took it out secretly, so don't tell anyone."

He was terrified because the Li family only allowed him to come up to the cemetery, but he couldn't refuse to come up and patrol.

A monthly salary of several thousand.

The Li family is strange; they won't even let him keep a dog. When he was young, he could come here alone, but now that he's old, he always feels that this place is unclean.

Although his surname is Li, he is not a real member of the Li family. It's a miracle he wasn't scared to death.

"Hey, the Li family is strange."

"Strange?"

"It's weird!" The old man shook his head and clicked his tongue twice.

"There's hardly anyone around every few days. Things have gotten a little better in recent years since the eldest son went out to make his way in the world. Before that, it was a terrible time."

Gu Xinglan was startled by these words.

"Grandpa, you'd better stop talking, you can barely see the road."

Seeing that Gu Xinglan's voice was trembling with fright.

Grandpa Li was inexplicably emboldened, and spoke with the air of someone who had been there before: "You're new here, right? Let me tell you, I'm scared too when I'm your age. Two people died as soon as I arrived, and they were that person's own brother and sister."

"Which one?"

Is Li Taihe his father's brother or younger brother?

The old man didn't explain to him, and said, "I heard that the two of them died because they did something wrong, they deserved it! But what's strange is that afterwards, even the people below them died of illnesses for no apparent reason."

"It was like, the first wife's mother ran away, then the second wife's parents died tragically, then the third wife's parents, it was truly tragic!"

Gu Xinglan listened, her expression somewhat dazed.

It seems that Li Hetai also talked to him about the death of his parents.

"Sir, I haven't seen Second Master since I came here."

The eldest son's wife was Li Taihe, the third son's wife was Li Jianbai, and the second son's wife was Li Jianbai.

"Shh!"

The old man glared and waved his hand, "Dead, the two old people and the child, all gone."

These words shocked Gu Xinglan so much that she unconsciously moved her throat.

"Also, Third Master is very young now, even younger than you. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"He was elevated because of his seniority! He had no choice but to be elevated. So many people died suddenly, who would dare to accept it? You newcomers don't know, but we old folks know it all, and none of us dare to say anything."

Li Taihe also looks young.

"What about Li Taihe?" Gu Xinglan asked subconsciously.

The old man stroked his chin, frowned, and thought for a while. "Hey, Li Taihe... Li Taihe, why don't I remember him?"
