Chapter 5 Old Huotangzi(2/2)
It's all a bit difficult.
The mother-in-law took out incense, bowls, meat, and charms from the bag.
Little by little, I burned incense, offered meat, and burned talismans. I did it all respectfully, then lowered my head and prayed:
"The Hu family has been in the village for twenty years, helping their neighbors to protect the village and cultivate the fields diligently."
"Now the Hu family is in trouble, and the enemies are forcing the kid to haunt them."
"Now I ask my ancestors to protect my grandson and pay back more of the incense money later..."
"..."
She closed her eyes and babbled, repeating these words over and over again.
Hu Ma didn't hear it clearly the first time, but she gradually heard it later. Seeing her solemn and pious look, she was slightly moved.
This mother-in-law really cares about her grandson...
pity……
But before this thought could pass by, a gust of dark wind suddenly blew over the old fire pond.
Hu Ma's eyes flashed, and she suddenly felt that the heat inside the old fire pond was heating up, and it suddenly became freezing cold.
The cold seemed to be forced directly into the seams of my bones, freezing my whole body.
At this moment, his ears were filled with gibberish that came from nowhere.
It was as if a hundred people were whispering, but the voices were all crowded together and poured into his ears.
Not only that, his eyes also hurt terribly. He subconsciously raised his hand to rub it, and then suddenly froze.
In the old fire pond, the half-burnt skull actually had an eye, looking at him coldly and sinisterly.
Then, he saw a hand reaching out from the ashes.
Then there is a second hand, then a face, a second face, and a third face.
One by one, illusory arms and cold, translucent faces emerged from the ashes.
Are they dozens of people, hundreds of people, or thousands of people?
They are densely packed and entangled, like a centipede that has grown hundreds of thousands of arms and is being rejoined.
Countless people were crowded into this fire pit, which was less than twenty square meters.
The bodies are intertwined and overlapped, like a crushed crowd.
Countless faces were crowded together, and countless eyes were looking up and down, staring at Hu Ma, blinking densely.
Some are gloomy and indifferent, some are confused and ignorant, and some are curious and fearful.
"Buzz!"
Hu Ma was shocked by this scene, and panic burst out of her chest, almost stopping her heartbeat.
He just stared blankly at the endless figures emerging from the old fire pond.
The cold wind whistled around the fire pond, and her mother-in-law's chanting voice became more and more anxious. Xiao Hongtang hid far away.
Like a weird human tree, more illusory figures kept coming out of the fire pit.
They were just a short distance away, looking down at Hu Ma indifferently.
No one reached out.
…
…
The mother-in-law kept her head lowered and chanted, as if she couldn't breathe.
But the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. It was not until the three sticks of incense she lit in front of her burned to the bottom at an unusual speed that she suddenly stopped.
