Chapter 3 The Upright Goat

Has a clear plan in her heart, but Hu Ma needs to think about how to do it.

The little girl in red clothes in front of me looks like she is only five or six years old, maybe even younger.

Wearing pigtails, slender arms and legs, as if carved from pink and jade.

 Looks like one punch will make you cry for a long time...

But Hu Ma was very sure that after this punch, he might be the one crying.

Her weird speed just now, as well as her amazing strength, licking her wounds to stop the bleeding, all showed that she was by no means an ordinary person.

　　Just kidding, how could the person following such a sinister mother-in-law be an ordinary person?

 So, how to deal with her is the key.

The room was extremely quiet.

Looking at the atmosphere in the room, the atmosphere was a bit strange. Hu Ma didn't dare to express her anger, but she didn't seem to hear her breathing.

So, while thinking in his mind, he tentatively spoke:

 “What’s your name? What’s your relationship with your mother-in-law?”

　　　…”

"My name is Xiao Hongtang. My mother-in-law picked it up outside."

The little girl was squatting on the ground. She was too small and her squatting look was a bit weird, like a grasshopper.

 When he spoke, he had a babyish voice and was innocent, but there was a sense of clarity that a five or six-year-old child would never be able to achieve.

Hu Ma thought about it and continued: "How old are you?"

"I…"

This question seemed to overwhelm Xiao Hongtang. She counted on her fingers: "I have been with my mother-in-law for seven or eight years..."

 “But I don’t know how old I am.”

　　　…”

 “Seven or eight years?”

Hu Ma was immediately sure that this was definitely not a normal little girl.

She is not older than seven or eight years old. In addition, her mother-in-law picked her up seven or eight years ago. Is there still time to pick her up?

Perhaps, like the coffin board just now, she is an "evil spirit" as the mother-in-law calls it?

This mother-in-law asked her to take care of herself. To put it bluntly, she might be monitoring herself.

Now that he saw her squatting on the ground and looking at him, Hu Ma's mind became active.

 Observing carefully, I found that besides staring at herself, she could not help but look at something on the Eight Immortals' table.

 Looking closer, I found that it was the meat that my mother-in-law had just brought back, wrapped in red paper and placed on the table.

 She seemed to have been feeding herself this weird piece of meat for the past seven days, and Hu Ma still remembered the fishy, ​​disgusting feeling.

 The little girl seems to be very greedy for this thing?

 “Do you really want to eat?”

 He thought about it secretly and slowly asked the little girl.

"In no mood…"

Hearing this, the little girl shook her head, and her saliva couldn't help but flow down.

 “It’s delicious.”

Hu Ma was convinced that although this little girl was indeed no ordinary child, she was not that smart either, so she was careful to seduce:

“You can try it, it’s delicious.”

　　　…”

 The little girl was obviously more excited, but her head was shaking like a wave drum: "No."

“My mother-in-law cut the meat from Mr. Tai Sui’s body specially for Brother Huma to eat.”

　　　…”

 “What the **** is Mr. Tai Sui?”

Hu Ma patiently continued to induce: "It doesn't matter..."

“Give it to me and it’s mine. Now I’ll give it to you to eat. My mother-in-law won’t know.”

　　　…”

The little girl was obviously moved. She kept swallowing saliva from her small neck and said hesitantly:

 “You won’t tell your mother-in-law?”

　　　…”

Hu Ma promised: "If my mother-in-law asks, I will tell her that I ate them all."

 “Gudong…”

Even Hu Ma clearly heard the sound of the little girl swallowing her saliva this time.

She hesitated, glanced at Hu Ma's frank expression, and then looked at the piece of meat on the Eight Immortals' table.

 Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he rushed up with a "whoosh" sound.

With his small body, he jumped onto the table easily, stretched out his two white and tender little hands, and picked up the piece of meat.

 “Ah woo…”

She opened her mouth wide, and the corners of her mouth actually reached to the base of her ears.

The two rows of teeth that were originally neat and delicate actually turned into sharp edges at this moment, and he bit down hard.

 “What the hell?”

Hu Ma was shocked by her appearance, and almost lost all the energy she had gathered.

But the attraction of this piece of meat to her was far greater than she imagined. When she jumped on the table, she was like a starving ghost reincarnated, as if she didn't care about anything else at all. He also reacted. Click a little bit, tentatively moving towards the door.

 When he arrived at the door, he looked back carefully. She was still eating, with her back turned to herself and her little **** sticking out, like a hungry little animal.

Let alone escape, even if the sky falls, there won’t even be that piece of meat...

Hu Ma took a deep breath, quietly opened the ajar door, opened it outward, and rushed out with all her strength.

 …

 “Shua!”

It should be afternoon now, but as soon as he opened the door, Hu Ma still felt that the light was a bit dazzling.

He stretched out his hand to cover the sun and ran forward stumblingly.

The peripheral vision of his eyes had been quickly looking at the surrounding environment, but what he saw were only rows of dilapidated low wooden houses and tiled houses. He saw the uneven dirt roads and the cattle and sheep enclosed in wooden fences. , saw the stone mill and the well.

 But he couldn't see anything familiar in his memory, no cars, no electric lights, not even a telephone pole.

 There are shadowy figures around, jumping into his eyes from time to time.

These people were all wearing gray coarse cloth trousers, carrying farm tools, and wearing a pair of straw sandals. They had a remote and ancient temperament.

"oops…"

Someone saw Hu Ma, and he was even more frightened than Hu Ma at this time, and ran away in panic.

He pointed and whispered into Hu Ma's ears: "Isn't that the grandson of your mother-in-law's family?"

 “How is he still alive?”

　　　…”

 The panic and uneasiness in my heart increased sharply.

He was also afraid that the weird little girl would catch up, and even more afraid that the sinister mother-in-law would suddenly appear.

Especially when he saw that among the frightened crowd, some people seemed to be turning around and running, as if looking for someone to report a message, he could only stumble and use all his strength.

Unconsciously, I didn’t know how far I had run, but I felt my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

 Where are you now?

He looked at the sparse grass and grain fields around him, and saw the towering wooden fence in front of him, and the deep mountains and old forests.

 It seems that you have run to the edge of the village?

Unconsciously, it was already dusk, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the surroundings were empty. Because of this hurried escape, his body had become extremely weak, and his head was constantly dizzy.

 My body seemed to be filled with lead, and I actually felt like I couldn't move my body.

Just when I couldn't help but stop, holding my knees and gasping for air, there was a sudden rustling in my ears.

Some kind of vague and unclear gibbering drifted into the ears with the wind.

The content of this babble was incomprehensible, but it made Hu Ma feel frightened inexplicably. She turned her head sharply and looked around cautiously.

Surrounded by large haystacks, there are also a few vigorous and gnarled old trees, which are far taller and more solid than what I remember in my previous life.

Following the direction of the murmur, Hu Ma's eyes swayed and finally slowly focused.

 He saw the source of the sound, which was a black goat standing beside a haystack.

Its yellow-brown horizontal pupils stared at him faintly.

Hu Ma also stared at it, wondering if the hairy feeling and strange murmuring just now were his hallucinations.

Suddenly, I saw that this black goat stood up slowly.

Like a person, it spread its front legs and stood only on its hind legs, still looking at Hu Ma.

 The corners of his mouth actually opened up a little, revealing a strange smile.

At this moment, Hu Ma felt her scalp numb and couldn't help but staggered back a few steps.

 “Quack…”

Before he could figure it out, another strange laugh suddenly sounded next to him.

He turned his head with a swishing sound and saw a monkey-like creature squatting on an old branch not far away.

 No, it’s not a monkey, it’s a human.

He was just naked, his whole body was strangely pale, and he was too thin. His limbs were obviously longer than ordinary people. He squatted on the tree trunk like a monkey, his eyes were strangely blood red, and he looked at himself. Excited quackery.

 “Little brother…”

Before Hu Ma could feel this endless sense of panic, another sweet cry came from not far away.

Hu Ma turned around and saw that the person calling her was a person, a very beautiful woman. Most of her body was hidden in the haystacks, only her charming face was exposed, her red lips were slightly opened, and she uttered words from time to time. Those seductive soft calls.

This voice seems to have some kind of magic power, making people subconsciously follow her call and get closer step by step...

 But Hu Ma only took a step closer and then stopped.

 He saw that charming head sticking out of the grass bit by bit.

Behind the head, there is a winding dark red snake body, its scales rub against the straw, making a rustling sound.

 “What is all this?”

Hu Ma finally woke up, an invisible panic gripping her whole body, like an electric shock.

A dense and strange feeling enveloped his whole body. He couldn't breathe, his vision went black, and his body was about to collapse.

 But at this moment, he suddenly heard a smiling voice:

 “Brother Huma…”

 “Stop being playful, my mother-in-law calls you to go home for dinner!”

　　　…”

The moment the sound appeared, the weirdness disappeared, and Hu Ma finally spat out in one breath.
