"Country bumpkin, what's wrong with you? Did you fall down?" Shen Bing asked from behind me.
I endured the pain and climbed up, saying, "No, I kicked something down. Where are you? Did you fall into the water?"
"No, they don't have a swimming pool, how could I fall into the water?" But I heard the sound of water splashing on her body, and it seemed that she was standing on the ground and walking towards me.
"Then run away." I held her hand and felt it was wet. I thought to myself that this girl was too proud and was afraid that it would hurt her if I knew that she had made a fool of herself, so she would rather drown than tell anyone.
We both ran out of the gate, and when the gray-haired zongzi didn't chase us out, we breathed a sigh of relief and stopped. I asked her, "Is there a water tank under the window?"
"Hey, how did you know that?" Shen Bing sounded quite surprised.
"I learned the supreme divine arithmetic from Pang Furong last time. I can count with my fingers... Uh, why are you pinching me?"
"If I don't pinch you, you will definitely not tell the truth."
"I saw a water tank under the window when I left their house yesterday morning." Under her torture, I had no choice but to confess.
Shen Bing let me go and said, "The water tank is so big, it almost drowned me."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the "thump thump" sound of the rice dumplings jumping in the yard. My heart tightened. The dead thing came out, what should I do? Fuck his second uncle, why do you bury such a thing in your house, Zhao Chengshi? Did you raise it on purpose
Other families have pets, but you raise a zombie. Isn't that just because you have nothing to do
"The dead zombies are coming, let's run." Shen Bing grabbed me and ran towards the alley.
As we were running, we found that almost all the neighbors had their lights on. I guess the ping-pong noises from Zhao Chengshi's house woke them up. I thought to myself, it doesn't matter if we run away, but if someone with no eyes comes out to watch the fun, he will be eaten alive.
I stopped Shen Bing and said, "We can't leave. A vicious spirit has already escaped. If we let the gray-haired zongzi run rampant in the village, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Do you have a way to get rid of the dead zombies?" Shen Bing asked.
“Not yet.”
"What do you mean 'not yet'? Will you have it in a while?" Shen Bing said unhappily.
I touched my nose and said, "Why don't we go back to Zhao Chengshi's house? He has a Zongzi and must have prepared glutinous rice."
Shen Bing suddenly said, "Oh, right, when I fell into the tank just now, I felt something under my feet, and I touched it and it seemed to be rice..."
My eyes suddenly lit up. Zhao Chengshi placed a water tank outside the window. That must be to prepare for the zombies to work. Because once you jump into the water, your mouth and nose will be submerged, blocking the escape of vital energy, so the zombies can't find it. Then take the opportunity to take out sticky rice and red rope from the bottom of the water tank to deal with this thing. Yes, it must be like this, otherwise why would the water tank be so big? It must be used by Tibetans.
He then pulled Shen Bing back. Just after he took a few steps, he met the dead Zongzi, which was dancing rhythmically and coming towards him with a "thump thump" sound.
I whispered to Shen Bing, "I'll lure the zongzi to death. You take the opportunity to run back to Zhao Chengshi's house, fish out the glutinous rice from the water tank, and look for other things that may be useful for dealing with zombies."
Shen Bing said "Oh", I dodged and rushed to the front, took out a few copper coins, and shot two at the extremely burly black shadow. There were two "puff" sounds, probably hitting the face. Although copper coins have little effect on zombies, they are after all a thing to drive away evil spirits, and zombies are also quite taboo.
These two hits pissed off the dead zongzi, and it let out a muffled "ho ho" sound, and jumped faster, rushing towards me. I pushed Shen Bing and let her slide along the right wall. I threw two more copper coins to attract the dead zongzi. This trick worked. The dead zongzi didn't provoke Shen Bing and continued to jump towards me. Seeing that it was only a few steps away from me, it was so scared that it turned around and ran back.
When this damn thing got angry, it took big steps and suddenly jumped behind me. It put one of its cold claws on my shoulder, making my whole body shiver.
Damn it, I must not let it catch me, otherwise I can only escape its clutches by removing my arms. I ducked down, turned around, and slid forward seven or eight meters along the ground. Zombies are most afraid of turning, especially turning sharply, and no matter how advanced they are, they can't do it in an instant.
By the time it turned around, I had already run to the door of Zhao Chengshi's house. I happened to see Shen Bing running out, and I quickly asked her, "Did you find the thing?"
"No, no, there was another ghost inside. I was afraid it was Gong Cuiruo, so I ran out quickly." Shen Bing said in a trembling voice.
Oh, no wonder it's so fast. I thought it was just right that Gong Cuiruo came back, so we don't have to look for her everywhere. So I grabbed Shen Bing and ran into the gate again, and felt a gust of cold wind blowing in my face. I sneered and threw out eight copper coins.
"Don't chant the spell, I'm Zhao Chengshi!"
Damn, it's this bastard, you have the nerve to tell me your name. What's wrong with Zhao Chengshi? I was looking for you but couldn't find you, so how could I expect to let you go? You made a hand gesture and recited the copper coin array spell.
The copper coins quickly formed a Bagua formation, and a yellow light flashed. Zhao Chengshi ran towards the door with his head in his hands. He shouted as he ran, "I came back to tell you how to deal with this zombie. Why are you so ruthless without knowing right from wrong?"
When I heard this, I was moved and quickly took the copper coins. At this moment, the clattering sound had reached the door, and I pulled Shen Bing into the house.
"Tell me quickly, how to deal with this zongzi?" I shouted.
Zhao Chengshi said in a trembling voice in the darkness: "The water tank under the window outside is filled with glutinous rice water all year round. If you pour the glutinous rice water on the zombie, it will fall down. Then use the corpse-suppressing talisman to deal with it."
Oh, it's so simple. The glutinous rice is placed in the jar to soak in water. This bastard is indeed a talent, but unfortunately he has evil intentions. He buried zongzi in his own home, harming others and himself, and even hurting my sister-in-law. What a bastard!
When Shen Bing heard that only water would be enough, she ran out of the house and I followed her. I don't know where Shen Bing found a container and scooped out water from the jar. Just then, the gray-haired zongzi jumped into the yard, and Shen Bing waved his hand to throw it out.
In the darkness, I heard the sound of water being poured on the dead rice dumpling, and it immediately let out a particularly eerie scream. I felt my heart pounding when I heard it. It was really creepy.
There was a light coming from the neighbor's yard on the left, but it went out immediately. I guess my fear overcame my curiosity, and I huddled in bed, shivering.
The dead zongzi screamed a few more times, and a hissing sound came from its body, and a burnt smell came from it. But this thing didn't fall down, instead it turned around, jumped and ran out the door quickly.
