In the ghost doll's pupil-less eyes, Lu Anru actually read strong contempt.
He was so angry that he asked: "That's interesting. Who is trying to scare me in my dreams every day? You also said that I only pay attention to fighting. Do I want to pay attention? I wish you wouldn't fight, so I can find a quiet place." rest."
"Don't worry, she doesn't dare to ignore us." Just after Guiwa comforted Peach Tree Spirit, a loud slap in the face sounded.
Lu Anru turned a blind eye to its threat and walked directly to the second bedroom.
Unlike the peach tree spirit, the ghost doll is not stained by the world. From the moment it is born, people treat her with the greatest malice.
The year before last, a lame old man named Huo found it and told it that there was a place where it could release the resentment in its heart. As long as it doesn't take human lives, it can have fun with whatever is left.
Outside, we need to avoid some humans who are chasing ghost monsters. They talk about benevolence and morality, but are actually very ambitious. Desire to catch evil spirits and refine them into pure resentment, so that they can be used to nourish obedient resentful spirits and help them achieve their ulterior secrets.
There is a place where you can act recklessly without having to endure hypocritical human beings. Guiwa chose to go to the school examination room with Old Cripple Huo.
When it came to the examination room, the students regarded it as an evil spirit that must be taken down. From words to actions, no one was polite to it.
No matter what others do to it, it responds with a doubling attitude. Without the timidity and worries of the peach tree spirit, it floats behind Lu Anru and threatens: "If you don't help her, she won't be able to have a good rest."
Lu Anru turned around and pointed his sword directly at the ghost doll, which tortured him for more than half a month. If he could easily relax his vigilance, his life would be in vain.
"I'll give you a chance. If you want to chat with Taohua Jing, go back."
The ghost doll suddenly disappeared from Lu Anru's eyes, and a strange laughter fell from above her head.
"I will also give you a chance. Treat me better and go back to help Sister Taoshu handle things. Don't forget how you were so scared that you ran around."
"Ah."
Lu Anru chuckled, and instead of crouching down to dodge, he made a very weird action.
Like a dancer, straighten the arm holding the sword and rotate the body in a parallel circle.
Even more weird things happened as she spun around. When she turned half a circle, a white smoke-like thing appeared on the edge of the cold sword, a ghost doll.
In the second half of the circle, the petite girl increased her rotation speed and moved to the right. When she stopped, her sword penetrated the door frame of the second bedroom.
Peach Tree Spirit witnessed the whole process, and Lu Anru seemed to predict in advance the direction in which the ghost doll would flash.
No, it should be said that she swept away everything possible.
The sword caught the ghost doll and immediately accelerated. Finally, the sword penetrated the door frame and pinned the ghost doll on it as well.
"The little devil is just out of good intentions, don't hurt it." The peach tree spirit cried a little exhausted, got up and stumbled over to plead for mercy.
In exchange, Yincang pulled out the ghost doll's arm and slashed across its body neatly in the next second.
Peach Tree Jing stretched out his hand in panic to catch the half of his body that had fallen to the ground. Only then did he touch the child's toes, and both halves of his body disappeared.
"You are so cruel." The peach tree spirit collapsed on the ground, crying like a rainstorm, and beat Lu Anru's calf with his hands.
Lu Anru opened the second bedroom door expressionlessly, walked in and closed it, blocking out the sad cries.
Go to bed to clear your mind and enter normal sleep and dreamland. Dryads are different from spirits. Dryads cannot move too far away from their bodies. In layman's terms, they can only move around trees.
After sleeping for more than two hours, my mother woke me up for dinner.
In the afternoon, I casually mentioned my favorite braised pork buns made by my grandma, and I ate them as I wished in the evening.
After eating the sixth big bun, my stomach felt a little full, so I wiped my hands clean.
He sat obediently and waited for his mother and grandmother, promising to take them for a walk after dinner.
The old man ate slowly. Lu Anru finished watching the short video updated by Wenzong. Grandma had just finished her second steamed bun and left most of the bowl of millet porridge.
I kept my head propped up and continued to wait. I accidentally saw the white buns and remembered a name that Peach Tree Spirit kept repeating, Xiaobai.
I turned my head and saw Aunt Cui tidying up the living room. She usually goes home after washing the dishes, and wanted to ask casually if she knew the person named Xiaobai.
If you know each other, I can give you a reminder to avoid being harassed in my dreams every day.
The thought disappeared as soon as it arose. The peach tree spirit said that Xiaobai took his companions and went all the way to find trouble for the five-year-old child, which proved that there was more than 80% possibility that Xiaobai was not a human being.
In my wild imagination, my mother and grandma had a good dinner.
Three generations of people walked leisurely on the country road, listening to their mother and grandmother chatting about daily life, which made Lu Anru feel comfortable.
After walking around the small village and walking back, he passed Aunt Cui as usual. Lu Anru paid more attention to the old peach trees and found that many of the green leaves were a little yellow.
Suddenly I remembered what my mother said about life and death. Could it be that Peach Tree Spirit knew that she didn't have much time left and wanted to do something in her power for the heartless people
How silly.
Without paying attention, my foot fell on a soft thing. My eyes moved from the peach tree back to my feet, and I screamed depressedly: "Is this horse manure?"
"That's right," the mother covered her mouth and laughed, pulling her to the weeds on the right with one hand, and said patiently: "Rubbing off the big chunks on the grass, go back and wash your shoes. When walking, keep your eyes on the road ahead and don't run. god."
Lu Anru was depressed. She had not seen this thing when she walked here during the day. She suspected that the peach tree spirit had found a familiar little animal to tease her.
Go home and put a small stool in the bathroom, take a basin of water and sprinkle a lot of washing powder on it, pick up a brush and dip it in water, and brush the dirty soles tirelessly until the light yellow color of beef tendon is restored.
She neatly put the clean small round-toe leather shoes back on the shoe rack at the door. These shoes were a winter gift that Sheng Ming bought for her, so they couldn't get dirty.
After chatting with the old man for a while, my mother helped my grandma back to her room to rest.
The few days of rural life had a great impact on her, and she started to feel sleepy at nine o'clock.
Go upstairs and enter your bedroom, close the door, walk to the bed, and get into the bed warmed by Xiao Luan.
Pick up the computer and select silent mode. There are five unread messages in the message prompt box.
Go in and check, two of them are from Sheng Ming.
Article 1: An Ru, I have two more days to finish the mission here.
Article 2: When you arrive at grandma’s house by the weekend at the latest, list the things you need to bring with you.
Lu Anru listed out the names of snacks in three lines, and at the end sent an emoji of cute girls giving flowers. She stole a lot of Yin Yi emojis.
Cut out the chat box between the two and check the other three unread messages from Ella.
The first two were video applications made half an hour ago. Lu Anru was walking with the elderly and did not bring a computer.
The latter one is a photo. In the photo, there are two people in the swimming pool. Ella is wearing a bikini, and there is Li Mo who doesn't know where to put his eyes.
Lu Anru long-pressed the photo, selected the like button in the pop-up prompt box, and left a message: Keep up the good work.
I changed the word "Li" to "Li" with full heart, I believe my best friend will understand.
Press the button to lock the computer, the screen lights up, and a new message comes in.
There is no vibration in silent mode, and Lu Anru unlocks it and sees the video application.
Clicking to agree, Ella happily greeted her: "An Ruru, did you miss me?"
"Think about it," Lu Anru lowered his voice, "Let's talk later, you can play with Li Mo first."
"He returned to the palace an hour ago."
Ella took the computer away, showed Lu Anru the environment of the bedroom at home, and laughed and scolded: "You know how old-fashioned he is, he can't do anything outside the bounds before marriage."
"Oh, you guys should develop your feelings slowly."
Lu Anru yawned again and again, his eyes widened in confusion, and he muttered: "After a long period of running-in, two people will either get tired of each other, or they will never be separated for the rest of their lives. I hope you achieve the latter."
Chicken soup looks so familiar. Ella seems to have seen it in the short video shot by Wu Hao. She didn't criticize it for the sake of her sincere blessing.
After night training, you develop the habit of going to bed late. Then you will be in good spirits, look for topics, and try to arouse the interest of your best friend: "An Ruru, have you had nightmares these days?"
"I did it, but the kid was basically killed by me."
Lu An answered automatically, his heavy eyelids might close completely at any time, and he would see the ghost doll in his dream.
"Awesome, it means you have become stronger." Ella clapped vigorously.
Lu Anru responded vaguely with only a little bit of consciousness left: "It's just so-so. It's useless to get stronger. There's another peach tree spirit in the dream. She said that there is a small hole in my brain that creates dreams, and elves and ghosts can get in at will. ”
When I opened my eyes again, I was already in a dream. It was still Aunt Cui's yard. The little ghost girl was obsessed with this place recently.
I vaguely remembered that Ella seemed to be saying before losing consciousness: "I heard my mother mention that the heart of the old peach tree's growth rings is the best to ward off evil spirits. If you use the heart of a peach tree that is hundreds of years old to cut a wooden sword and carve it with runes to ward off evil spirits, It will definitely help you solve your troubles.”
Zhou Sheng also told her about this homespun method. The question was where could she find a peach tree that was hundreds of years old
Some of them are also protected by the Xia State Forestry Bureau. If you cut them indiscriminately, you will be arrested, and you will be fined at least, and you will be imprisoned for about a year at worst.
She could get a lighter sentence based on her family connections, but instead of letting outsiders alarm her family with her embarrassing story, she might as well open her mouth and ask her parents to help find her.
The main problem she faced right now was that her parents each had something troubling to worry about, and she didn't know how to open her mouth to mention it.
In the morning, I searched "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and searched for Taomu Sword. Cheap products were dominated by negative reviews. Buyers were all criticizing the merchants for being unscrupulous and the products were ineffective.
There were two genuine items on a second-hand online shopping platform. The prices were prohibitive for her, and they could wipe out her savings.
Sitting at the door of the master bedroom of Aunt Cui's house, she held her head in one hand, her mind so clouded with worries that she had no time to pay attention to the little ghost floating in front of her.
The peach tree spirit stood next to the ghost doll, and the ghost doll was proudly showing off to her: "I said she is afraid of me, she is scared to death. Sister, don't worry, I will talk to her again when she comes back to her senses. Your request. If she agrees to help you, I can give her a few days of leisure. If she continues to refuse, I guarantee that she will not have a good rest every day. "
"You're so annoying."
Lu Anru held Yin Cang and pierced the ghost doll's arm. The little ghost girl's body swayed, her mind wandered, and she seemed to have overlooked some important details.
The ghost doll's facial features were squeezed together in pain, and its eyes fell to the ground.
Lu Anru calmly looked at the scary look that he had seen many times before, took out Yincang and expelled: "Go, you two can play together. I'm in a bad mood today, so don't bother me."
The ghost doll picked up the eyeball, stuffed it back into its socket, and muttered in a depressed voice: "It sounds like you have a bad day."
"Nonsense, why don't you have nightmares every day?" Lu Anru retorted, swung his sword a few times, and scolded: "Keep a distance of five meters, and I will kill you when you cross the line."
Not to be outdone, the ghost doll appeared on Lu Anru's side and opened its mouth wide.
At the same time as it appeared, it heard Lu Anru's impatient voice: "On the right shoulder, I've already figured out your path."
Unwilling to admit defeat, he dodged to two more positions, but Lu Anru saw through them all, and was stabbed several more times on his arms and legs.
Frustrated, she floated back under the peach tree. Seeing the eyes that were swollen from crying, she quickly shook her limbs and said bravely: "Sister Peach Tree, I'm fine. She can't kill me. I've been here for the past few days." The more you rub her, the more she will agree."
"Thank you, you poor child, don't suffer for me anymore."
The peach tree spirit's thanks made the ghost doll more excited than any pure resentment, and she said: "Don't worry about it these days, I have to make her agree today!"
"do not."
The peach tree spirit could not grasp the smoke-like body, so it had to follow the fighting ghost doll back to Lu Anru, always ready to block Lu Anru's next attack.
"Hey, let's make an exchange." The ghost doll's scolding voice was more like saying, do you dare to agree to give it a try
Lu Anru didn't care too much about the attitude issue, and said with interest: "Okay, you can close the small gap first."
"Not in the near future, please change the conditions."
"How long will it be in the near future?" Lu Anru was speechless. Does this thing still have time
The ghost doll glanced away and said with a guilty conscience: "Oh, I promise you anyway, I will help you close it when I am in a better mood."
"Hey," Lu Anru snorted contemptuously and responded with a similar reply: "Then I will help you when I feel better."
"I'll bite you to death! I'll freeze you to death!" The bloody mouth just opened wide, and a sword appeared in front of his mouth.
The ghost doll scolded angrily: "Grandma Octopus is right, it's a shame that Yincang chose you as its new master, you black-hearted villain!"
"When we talk about things, we should have a conversational attitude. What does it mean to get angry immediately if the two sentences are inappropriate? Do you want to talk about it or not?"
With a calm word, the ghost doll's resentment was dispersed. The ghost doll silently put away its scary moves and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what do you want to do before you are willing to help Sister Taoshu?"
Sister Peach Tree! Lu Anru suddenly realized that he had missed something.
Aren't there ready-made peach trees that are hundreds of years old right in front of you
Turning around to face the peach tree spirit, the corners of his mouth raised.
However, in more than a day, Peach Tree Spirit's face became shriveled and waxy, resembling a seriously ill person who had lost all appearance.
Lu Anru smiled, put aside her enquiry, and said in a deep voice, "Can I ask something impolite?"
Peach Tree Spirit was constantly observing Guiwa and Lu Anru, and he caught the flash of shock in the petite girl's eyes, which was similar to the look on the eyes of the two elders of the Cui family when they saw her that night.
He turned his uncomfortable face sideways and said softly, "Just ask."
"How many days do you have left to live?" That's strange. I remember Aunt Cui said that the peach tree spirit in the dream admitted that she could live for a long time without moving the tree.
As soon as the question came out, the ghost doll became angry and shouted: "What are you asking blindly?"
The peach tree spirit stood between the three of them with a hand like a dead branch, smiled gently at the ghost doll, and said: "It doesn't matter, she saw that I am not going to die soon, which proves that she is capable."
After comforting the ghost doll, he softly answered Lu Anru's question: "About half a month."
