PNB Chapter 10 Old House [5]
Chapter 10 Old House [5]
Immediately above the bed, that is, in the center of the top of the bed, there is a huge dragon head painted on it. Although the paint on the dragon head has been mottled, it still does not destroy the majestic temperament of the dragon, especially the two shining longan eyes. Yes, lifelike, staring at you for a long time, makes the viewer tremble for a while.
Although this dragon is majestic, it is unavoidably cruel. Even the ancient emperors would not draw a dragon head on the top of the bed to hold him down.
"Who is the owner of this room? Staring at such a face every night, can he really sleep well?" Xiao Long wondered.
"It should be the son of the old couple." Su Chi pulled out a photo from the back of the computer. In the photo, there was a family of three. The old man whose body was controlled by the burial bug was relatively young in the photo, but he was around fifty years old. Standing on the left and right should be his wife and son.
"Parents died tragically at home, where did this son go? Could it be an old man who lost his only child?" Xiao Long asked strangely, "If this son is still living outside, how can he face the death of his parents?"
"Theoretically, it is impossible for ordinary burial insects to grow into monsters at home. It can only be said that the house itself is too sinister, so these corpse insects can be cultivated like a greenhouse." Xiaolong muttered as he went to the bookshelf Take a look, "This guy not only likes dragons, but also obsesses with cultivating immortals. What kind of books does he read? Let me take a look, "Zhong Lu Chuan Dao Ji", "Tai Shang Induction Chapter", "Zhou Yi Can Tong Qi", Wow, this guy wants to cultivate immortality so much, if he knows that his hometown has become a breeding ground for spirits and monsters, he will die of anger."
"It is written in the book that this son left these books at home after reading them 20 years ago. A person who is obsessed with cultivating immortals, can't he see the weirdness in his own home?" Su Chi said coldly: "If 20 years ago he If he can renovate the house, change the feng shui, and disperse the negative energy in the family, his elderly parents may not become orphans and widows after 20 years, and no one cares about them, and finally become the playthings of those ants."
"That's right! This bastard is either dead, or if he's still alive, don't let me meet him!" Xiao Long clenched his fists, filled with righteous indignation.
Su Chi didn't care about this. What she was more worried about was how to get out of the nest that had been occupied by the burial bugs.
"Is there any way for you to get out?" Su Chi asked.
"Not yet." Xiao Cage pointed to the books on the bookshelf and said with a smile: "There are still a lot of heretical books here, if we read them all, maybe we can find a way to get out!"
Su Zhi was so angry that she had a headache, and said weakly, "Shut up."
Xiaolong was only quiet for a minute, and couldn't help chattering: "Why do you say that the burial insects outside the door dare not enter this room? Is it because this room is full of righteousness from cultivators? Dare to come in? And come and go freely?"
Su Chiquan thought she was talking to herself, and she took out her mobile phone. Of course, there was no signal on the mobile phone, and there was no window in the room, and the only door was full of dead insects with four legs.
How to do it?
"Just wait." Xiaolong seemed to have guessed Su Chi's troubles, and smiled calmly: "The only good news is that although we can't get out, they can't get in either."
"I don't like this room." Su Chi emphasized: "I hate this room."
Su Chi seldom has a strong love or hate for things, so Xiao Cage immediately asked after hearing her emphasis, "Why?"
Su Chi replied: "I don't know, I feel uncomfortable here."
"It's normal to be uncomfortable, anyone who stays here will be uncomfortable." Xiao Long said.
Su Chi looked at Xiaolong, frowned and said, "Is there really no way for you to go out?"
"I have nothing to do with the dead." Xiaolong spread his hands and said, "It seems that we can only wait for the store manager to find out that we haven't returned for a long time, and then find someone to rescue us."
Su Zhi sighed: "The store manager is useless, but we can wait for another person."
"Who?" Xiao Cage asked curiously.
Su Chi glanced at her, but didn't make a sound.

Although Xiaolong pestered Su Zhi and asked who the visitor would be more than a dozen times, Su Zhi sat down on the ground like an old monk in meditation, resolutely not revealing a word to Xiaolong.
Xiaolong was entangled to the back, he didn't know if he was thirsty or tired, so he simply sat beside Su Chi, leaning against the wall with her, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
Su Chi had just slept for a seven-day long sleep, full of energy, and would not feel sleepy in the short term, but Xiaolong was different. She was on night shift for a few days, and her energy was not good. As the night deepened, she also He became more and more sleepy, and finally he simply tilted his head and fell asleep in a daze.
She was able to fall asleep soundly even in a dangerous situation, Su Chi really convinced her.
Who would have thought that just after Su Zhi finished sighing in his heart, Xiao Long, who was asleep beside him, tilted his head and leaned heavily on Su Zhi's shoulder.
"Hi." Su Chi warned.
Xiaolong remained indifferent, breathing evenly and deeply through his nose.
"...Don't push yourself too hard." Su Chi said.
Xiaolong smacked his lips, as if he really fell asleep.
Su Chi said in a deep voice: "If you don't move your head back now, you might lose your head in the future."
"...Tch." Xiaolong finally opened her eyes, her eyes were clear, she straightened her neck depressedly, rubbed her white hair, and muttered, "It's really a sight."
The two of them sat side by side in the corner, and in addition to the incense table directly in front of them, there were immortals and dragons plastered all over the wall.
Xiao Long asked Su Zhi, "Do you believe that there are dragons in this world?"
Su Chi replied: "Whether there are dragons in the world has nothing to do with me."
"Why has nothing to do with you?" Xiao Long rolled his eyes, "Your name is Dragon."
Su Chi glanced back at her and said, "Don't you also have a dragon in your name?"
"I'm a cage," Xiaolong's fingers moved silently in the air, quickly wrote down his name, and then said with a smug smile, "I'm the cage that will make a frame out of bamboo strips to lock you up in the future."
Su Chi scoffed at this kind of child's words, "The cage is a pictophonetic character, but it's just the sound of the dragon, what's the matter?"
Xiao Long was speechless, his cheeks were swollen and he didn't speak.
It was just late when Su Chi and the others came to this house. Although they were locked in a small room all night, they lived in peace with the burial insects outside the door.
In the middle of the night, Xiaolong couldn't hold on any longer, so Da Lala lay down on the old-fashioned bed, stretched out his long arms and legs, and fell asleep comfortably.
Su Chi had nothing to do, so he took out a book from the shelf and read it boredly.
After an unknown period of time, Su Chi, who was awake, suddenly smelled smoke. She looked around suspiciously, and finally found that the white smoke was coming in from the gap under the door.
Su Chi was taken aback, and hurried over, carefully placing his hand on the door panel.
Before the palm of his hand touched the door panel, Su Chi's palm had already felt the heat of the wooden door.
"No way..." Su Chi frowned, feeling bad.
The white smoke under the door was getting thicker and thicker, and there was no water in the room. Su Chi quickly pulled the quilt, intending to block the door with a thick quilt, hoping to buy some time to escape.
While Su Chi was busy isolating the thick smoke, the wooden door of the room was suddenly kicked open, and Su Chi behind the door couldn't dodge in time, and was knocked backwards.
"Who..." Su Chi covered his forehead and climbed up. In the hot flames and thick smoke outside the door, he saw a burly man with a towel on his head and two wet quilts in his hands.
"You..." Su Chi was so horrified that he couldn't speak for a while.
"What are you?" The man covered Su Chi with a wet quilt, "Are you still running?"
When the man kicked open the door of the room and appeared in front of Su Chi like a savior, Xiao Long just woke up. She sat up from the couch, rubbing her eyes in a daze, "...what happened?"
The broken wooden door flew Su Chi's head of wood dust, she got up from the ground, wrapped the quilt tightly, glanced at Xiaolong, left only one sentence "take her out", and walked out of the house on her own.
The fire raged in the living room, and countless burial insects who had no time to escape were burned by the flames, and the stench was overwhelming. The remaining living insects were too busy to take care of themselves and fled one after another.Su Chi didn't even look at the bugs, covered his mouth and nose and walked towards the door of the living room.
A half-on-fire monster crawled out of the fire, and approached Su Zhi's feet with difficulty. Su Zhi took a closer look and recognized that it was the down-and-out old man whose body was occupied by the insect king.
Although the insect king was dead, the body was still stuck in the old man's head. Su Zhi felt disgusted and wanted to leave early. Unexpectedly, the old man's hand moved for a long time, and he took out a crumpled photo from his trouser pocket. Handed it to Su Chi with difficulty.
Su Chi lowered his head and saw a high-spirited child in that old alone photo.
The child was about fifteen years old, tall and straight, with good facial features, and most importantly, his eyes were piercing, and his expression was resolute and persistent. Given time, he was definitely not a thing in the pool.
"Ga... quack..." The old man raised his head, which he no longer owned, and his broken upper and lower jaws made a piercing rubbing sound, "Ga..."
Su Chi looked at him coldly, but never reached out to take the photo.

Before the fire spread into the room, the burly man walked to the bed and stared at Xiao Cage who had just woken up as if nothing had happened.
"Is your hair dyed?" The man touched Xiao Long's head before she was fully awake, and said with a smile, "It's very cute, like an arctic fox."
"I'm not an arctic fox, I'm a nine-tailed fox." Xiaolong yawned, stood up from the bed, stretched his waist and looked out the door, with a look of surprise but not fear, "Is it on fire?"
"Nine-tailed fox, it seems that you are that Xiaolong." The man put the rest of the wet quilt on Xiaolong's body, thought for a while, and then covered Xiaolong's head with the wet towel on his head.
"I know who you are now!" Xiaolong looked Su Qiu up and down with squinted eyes, and smiled cleverly, "You are Su Qiu, Su Chi's twin brother! You have grown so big? Hey, do you remember me?"
"I remember." The man laughed in the flames and smoke, "Of course I remember you."
