Chapter 6 The Burnt Goddess (Leader’s Ten Thousand Words Extra Update 2/2)(2/2)
"Don't look for me." The woman interrupted Yu Xing's words, her face was numb and indifferent, and she pointed in one direction, "Go find the Goddess. We will only take you in if the Goddess allows you to stay."
Goddess?
Yu Xing followed her hand and found that there was only one house over there, and it was the largest house in the village at first glance.
He said to the woman sincerely: "Okay, thank you..."
"Peng!" The woman also closed the door.
"..."
Why are they so cruel to me?
Yu Xing felt a little aggrieved and felt that he was despised by the whole world.
There is nothing wrong with this. The Lao Zhang family and these two villagers he sees now are the entire world in his memory.
He even thought: Am I too ugly to scare them?
After much hesitation, he decided to go find the goddess.
Just be scared, he doesn't want to starve to death anyway.
The goddess's residence is larger than it appears from a distance, and is surrounded by a fence.
"Isn't it usually just pig pens and chicken pens that are fenced? When the house is fenced, is it to prevent anyone from escaping?" When pushing open the fence, a thought came to Yu Xing's mind.
He looked back and saw that it was the evening at the hotel and many families were cooking. Although no one came out, the smoke from the chimney brought bursts of food aroma, which made Yu Xing feel a little dazed.
So hungry... so hungry... so hungry, so hungry...
There was no smoke coming from the goddess's house, and it was deserted.
Yu Xing put his hand on the wooden door, and his heartbeat suddenly became very fast.
It seems like something bad is going to happen.
This was a strange premonition without any warning, and Yu Xing didn't know whether to believe him or not.
However, nothing good seems to have happened to him since he woke up. Even if nothing happens, it won't be worse than starving to death.
So he knocked on the door.
"Boom..."
As soon as my fingers touched the door, the door opened a crack by itself. It seemed that it had not been closed at all before.
Yu Xing did not go in directly. An indescribable feeling grabbed his legs, making him unable to move forward.
The cool breeze came from the crack in the door and blew over his exposed fair skin. By some strange coincidence, he quietly peeked in through the crack in the door.
There was no light inside, and a piece of clothing swayed past in the darkness.
Yu Xing was startled, took a step back, and then couldn't help but continue looking.
He read it right, it was really a piece of clothing... hung on the beam, swinging back and forth.
The weak legs hung down, stiff and straight, and the hanged man stared at him peeping through the crack in the door with his big eyes.
The corpse was soaked all over, and drops of water dripped from the toes of the corpse's shoes, gathering into a pool of shadow on the ground.
Yu Xing was only surprised for a moment, but when the light outside slightly illuminated the room, he could clearly see the face of the hanged man.
"Lao, Lao Zhang!" Yu Xing was so frightened that he covered his mouth to prevent himself from shouting.
how so?
How come Lao Zhang is here and hanged?
His pupils constricted, and a kind of grief and anger that did not belong to his subjective feelings surged into his heart. He thought he was just frightened, not to the point of being extremely sad about the death of Lao Zhang, who was close to him, but the feeling in his heart did not pass through him.
With his permission, it exploded wantonly.
It's like... he's experienced all this before.
Not just Lao Zhang.
The crack in the door was blown a little wider by the wind, and Yu Xing could see more.
Lao Zhang's wife who served him porridge, the shy but curious and flexible Mai Mai, and many people he didn't know, including men and women, old and young, were all hung up by hemp ropes.
There is a pool of water underneath each person, and it is growing continuously.
There are many people inside.
The corpses inside were swinging like pendulums.
Just like Toshio, the ghost child in The Grudge who plays with the hanging corpses, the scene in front of him seems like there are countless hands pushing the corpses.
Wait, what is a curse?
Yu Xing thought blankly.
But this was just a fleeting episode in his mind. For now, he was very scared.
Is this place full of corpses the goddess’s home?
He'd better starve to death! Once he goes back, he won't go in!
"What are you looking at?" Suddenly, a deep female voice sounded from behind Yu Xing, and Yu Xing felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet to his forehead, making him shudder.
He turned around stiffly, and at that moment he saw an ugly woman very close to him.
The woman has a good figure. She wears a Chinese-style black skirt that is incompatible with this village. Her hair is pulled into a beautiful and steady bun, and she is exquisite in everything.
It's a pity that this face was probably burnt. Most of the face is covered with scars and obvious scabs. One eye has no eyelids, and the eyeballs are just exposed to the air, as if they are glaring at others angrily all the time.
Just like now, she seemed to be glaring at Yu Xing and wanting to strangle him to death.
"Ah!" Yu Xing screamed in dismay, and stepped back with fear. His bare feet stepped on a sharp stone. He screamed in pain, lost control of his balance, and fell directly to the ground.
With his head buzzing, Yu Xing looked up with a grimace and was stunned again.
The person in front of him was clearly a beautiful woman with smooth and fair skin, and her facial features had found a delicate balance between softness and sharpness. The years had left shallow traces on the corners of her eyes, but she had given her a thick temperament as compensation.
Are there any burns or scars?
The woman seemed a little surprised and a little unhappy when she saw his big reaction, but she still asked: "Are you okay?"
Alarm bells blared in Yu Xing's head.
Regardless of which image of her is real, let’s just say, what does it mean for a unique woman to appear here?
It means that her status is different from that of the villagers.
She is the goddess!
A dangerous man with many corpses hanging in the room!
Yu Xing climbed up by himself. Fortunately, the soles of his feet were not scratched. He tried to maintain his composure: "It's okay, it's okay."
"Are you... afraid when you see me?" The woman's tone was as doubtful as cold, and she took a step closer to him.
At this moment, Yu Xing didn't know why, but he felt so happy: "I'm sorry! I, I have low self-esteem..."
"Oh?" The woman was indeed a little less cold and a little more surprised. She raised the corners of her mouth and asked with interest, "Why do you feel inferior?"
"I, I have scars all over my body, it's so ugly..." Yu Xing said, covering the bandages on his chest and abdomen with his hands. This was of course in vain, but it was just to make the woman notice his injuries.
He looked downcast and spoke urgently: "I don't know where I come from, who I am, why I have such a useless body, and why I have long hair... I'm sorry, I will scare you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
"
The woman looked at him, then her eyes rested on his face, her face suddenly softened: "It sounds like you are a lost child."
She smiled and touched Yu Xing's head, glancing at his long hair that looked like that of ancient men: "Don't worry, you are not ugly at all. Your body is the most perfect I have ever seen, and your appearance is also
It makes people jealous. Believe me, as long as your wound heals, you will look very, very good..."
The moment her hand touched his head, Yu Xing felt as if there was a cold breath flowing through his limbs and torso, making him breathless and dizzy.
