Chapter 8 The Call of Laoyin Mountain

 The flax has gone numb.

He never thought in his life that he would be caught in a dream and called a scumbag.

I never thought that I would be guarding a spooky mother-in-law and an inhuman little girl living under the same roof.

Even, it is voluntary...

 When he just woke up, he was still thinking about running away and figuring out the world, but now, he was lying flat on his back.

　　　I will do whatever my mother-in-law tells me to do, and be a good grandson honestly...

My mother-in-law asked me to eat meat, so I ate big meals.

Xiao Hongtang was so greedy that his saliva flowed into streams, but he still ate cleanly.

My mother-in-law did not allow her to go out at night, so she never left the house or took a step outside. She stayed in this small room and even peeed against the wall.

 Large, bear with it.

There is no way, the outside world is so dangerous...

Of course, I also have a temper. There are some things that my mother-in-law does not allow me to do, but I still do them.

 For example, housework.

Although Tai Suirou couldn't understand anything, Hu Ma gradually felt its magic.

The wounds on her two shoulders were very serious penetrating wounds. When Xiao Hongtang licked her wounds with her tongue, the bleeding stopped and she didn't feel much pain.

 But that didn’t heal the injury, it was more like giving myself anesthesia. My arms were still weak, and there was a dull pain from time to time.

 However, after eating Tai Sui meat for a few days in the village, the wound healed incredibly quickly.

Once you eat that kind of Tai Sui meat, you will soon feel the heat, which spreads from the lower abdomen to the whole body.

The wounds seemed to be healing bit by bit under the heat.

 When he was lying quietly, Hu Ma could even feel that the granulations at the wound were slowly growing and connecting together.

It only took less than six or seven days for the wound to scab over, and it seemed to be filled with new flesh and blood.

As his physical strength gradually recovered, he became diligent, sweeping the floor, chopping firewood, wiping the table, and even carrying water, just hoping to leave a good impression on his mother-in-law.

After the mother-in-law took a nap occasionally, she saw the back of Hu Ma working diligently, and her eyes seemed a little complicated.

She advised Hu Ma to rest more and not tire herself out, but Hu Ma just agreed. This is the only thing that she has the initiative to do now. Can she listen to her?

　　After all, no one knows what will happen in the future, and I don’t know how long I can keep it secret. I am even more confused about where to go. Maybe I should behave well now, so that when my identity is revealed, at least I will not be beaten to death?

 Life has become somewhat strangely calm under this turbulent undercurrent.

An old man, a young man and a little ghost fell into this cramped house and lived like a family.

 Until he was awakened again by the thick dark red mist.

 “Am I in that weird dream again?”

　　　…”

Hu Ma walked forward slowly and once again saw the dilapidated incense table and the statue of the **** trapped in the shadow.

 After a little observation, he was sure that he was not dreaming.

The scene in this dream is exactly the same as last time, and the red incense stick that I inserted into the incense burner last time is now inserted end-to-end in the incense burner, and the smoke curls up and slowly disperses.

If it is really a dream, how come it is so real and the scenes are still connected?

This dream is real, then the call I heard in the dream was also real?

"Huh?"

While thinking about this problem, Hu Ma also suddenly noticed that there was a slight change inside the incense burner. Last time, he clearly remembered that the incense stick was almost finished burning, but this time, it actually grew a little longer, almost **** long.

“How come it lasted for so many days and even longer?”

This faint discovery made him slightly surprised.

He didn’t understand the principle, but he knew that if he lit this incense stick, he might still be able to hear the call from last time.

  Admittedly, this seems to be a very dangerous thing.

 In this weird world, it seems that no matter what you encounter, you should be careful.

But the depressing and gloomy life I live now is already driving me crazy, okay?

 Even if it is a straw, I will not let it go.

He calmed down his thoughts and waited patiently, watching the incense stick inserted in the stove. The smoke drifted into the red mist, but it did not dissipate. Instead, it slowly rotated like a thin line. snakes, wandering in the dark red mist.

 Vaguely, Hu Ma felt that the smoke from the incense seemed to have a life of its own and was looking for something for itself.

There was obviously no wind around, but the smoke seemed to be blown by the wind, changing its shape from left to right from time to time.

Until, about a minute or so later, Hu Ma suddenly heard a vague sound.

The smoke from the incense trembled slightly, gradually stabilized, and turned into a line, connecting to a certain direction in the thick fog.

At the same time, the voice became clear again:

“Codename Erguotou, calling for reincarnation in Laoyin Mountain, did anyone hear it?”

“Repeat, Lao Yinshan calls for reincarnation, does anyone hear it?”

　　　…”

Hu Ma felt a tremor in her heart.

 If I just suddenly woke up after hearing it last time, then this time, it was extremely clear.     Clear and true.

This is still the same voice as last time, but it sounds a little more tired than last time.

 He called urgently, seeming a little desperate.

“…Damn it, are they all dead? No one has heard of it?”

 “The incense is almost burnt out, the last call...”

　　　…”

Hearing the words "last call" from the other party, Hu Ma's heart moved slightly and she said tentatively:

 “I received it, you are...”

　　　…”

 After saying these words, he held his breath, not sure whether the other party could hear him.

 But then, the voice sounded, full of surprise, and even the straight wisp of smoke trembled:

“Sure enough, there are people, and I know that I am not the only reincarnated person in this ghost mountain...”

 “Brother, help me...”

　　　…”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Hu Mawan didn’t expect the other party’s response to be so down-to-earth. He hesitated and said, “First of all, who are you?”

“Who else can I contact?”

The other party's voice seemed a little anxious: "Are you an unlucky ghost who fell into this weird world?"

“Brother, I am in Fox Coffin Village in Laoyin Mountain. Are you far away from me? Or, if there is a ghost, give me something to save my life, such as amulets, Tai Sui, old objects...”

　　　…”

 “Unlucky ghost?”

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Ma was a little surprised and heard an incredible message from his words:

 “How many people have come to this world?”

　　　…”

The question he asked subconsciously made the other party suddenly fall silent for a long time, and then he said in a strange tone:

“Is this your first time connecting?”

　　　…”

Huma was a little unsure and responded with silence.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

The voice of the other party suddenly seemed a little disappointed: "I ran into some trouble. I thought I could find someone to help me, but I didn't expect it was a novice. It seems that I am in doom this time. It's just that I'm greedy and want to take advantage of it myself." …”

 “No, what on earth is going on?”

Hearing the other party's frustrated muttering to himself, Hu Ma became a little anxious: "Where are we?"

“Brother, we all want to know what this is about and where this is.”

The other party's voice seemed a little tired, and he sighed: "I don't know about you, but the few people I contacted came to this hellish world as soon as they opened their eyes."

"It's really too dangerous here. Tai Sui is born, evil spirits are everywhere, hundreds of ghosts are passing through, and there are swarms of spirits. This is a **** hell. Hell is not as scary as this place, and there are not so many weird things!"

Hu Ma thought of the white-faced men, erect sheep, and beautiful snakes she had seen before, and she understood deeply.

 He asked a question eagerly: "What should we do?"

 “What else can we do? Just stay alive…”

The other party's voice was a little dejected, and he said: "Worship the gods when you see them, hide from ghosts when you see them, if you have the ability, learn the skills..."

“Of course, the most important thing is not to let anyone discover your true identity, otherwise, the end will be worse than being a ghost..."

　　　…”

 “Real identity?”

Hu Ma felt as if there was a mess in her head, and could only ask mechanically: "What will happen if we find out?"

 “You are a novice, brother…”

Hearing what Hu Ma said, the other party seemed a little ridiculous. He smiled bitterly and said, "This world is scary, right?"

 This question still needs to be asked?

 Since he came to this world, he has never had a peaceful sleep or even left the village.

“This world is full of evil, full of terrible things, including weird mountains of flesh, deceptive evil spirits, black wind disasters that seize everyone’s souls, and the legendary Road to the Underworld…”

Without waiting for Hu Ma to answer, Fang Fang continued helplessly: "But you can imagine that the people in this world are most afraid of us!"

"us?"

Hu Ma was a little confused for a moment: "Why are you afraid of us?"

 “They think we are ghosts!”

The man's voice seemed to have a hint of helplessness and a hint of resentment and gloominess: "Evil ghosts who crawl out of hell, seize the bodies of living people, and hide in the world."

“They regard us as the most terrifying evil spirits!”

“Once our true identities are discovered, our souls will be ripped away and our bones will be peeled off, and no dregs of refining will be left…”
