Chapter 1997: It's already _2 Chapter 1997: It's already _2 The maid stood beside her, and the young child stood beside Mr. Shen.
The moment the fire lit up the cabin, the few of them did not even blink. They maintained their posture of looking out of the cabin and happened to meet the eyes of the few people outside the cabin.
Under the light, their hair was a little messy, and their clothes were a little wet, perhaps because the cabin was filled with water.
Their hair was a little messy. Other than Mr. Shen, who had half-long hair, the maidservants, taitai, and the young girl's tied hair were all scattered and stuck to both sides of their pale cheeks, like wriggling earthworms.
Between Mrs. Shen's fingers, a corner of the yellow talisman paper could be seen. It looked like the paper crane that the old Taoist had folded earlier.
It was obvious that the paper crane had landed in her palm after it had flown in.
“You see that?”
Separated by the cabin door, the old Daoist outside the cabin looked at Mrs. Shen.
She grinned and squeezed out a creepy smile.
“You see that?”
The old Daoist was stunned.
He had originally thought that something must have happened to the family since they had behaved so abnormally earlier. Therefore, he had prepared to light up the cabin and force his way in.
However, it seemed that they were indeed fine.
There was no aura of Yin ghosts inside, and it did not look like Auntie Wu's face was covered in blood and tears when she was possessed.
Other than their disheveled appearance and wet clothes, they seemed to be fine.
“But, I might have made a mistake.” The old Daoist's eyes flickered and he agreed.
Under the light, the woman's face was so pale that it was almost glowing. When she smiled, her teeth looked especially yellow compared to her skin color.
As he laughed, the burning talisman paper was extinguished with a 'whoosh'.
Mrs. Shen's faint voice rang out from the darkness.
“Do you want to come in and sit down?” Her tone was a little strange, as if it was mixed with a trace of gloominess.
“It's not safe outside …”
These words made the people outside the cabin shrink their necks again, and they couldn't help but bite their lips.
It was indeed not very safe outside the cabin, but for some reason, the inside of the cabin made people feel even more uneasy.
“I'll be wherever the old Taoist goes.”
The old man driving the carriage made up his mind not to go anywhere.
As soon as he finished speaking, Auntie Wu also said, ”
“Me too, I'll just follow Taoist priest.”
“We too …”
The others also knew how powerful it was, so they all spoke out.
At this time, someone kicked the old woman who was pretending to be dead in the crowd.
“Let this old woman in.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” The others 'eyes lit up, and they all agreed with this idea.
In fact, at this point, the people on the Ox cart who had encountered ghosts several times could vaguely smell something.
They were even more suspicious than the old Daoist because they didn't have any Daoist spells to protect themselves.
Regardless of whether the couple in the cabin was alright, they did not dare to go in. However, in order to test if there was anything wrong with these people, they had to send a living person in, just like a 'bait', and let the fish bite the hook.
Everyone agreed in unison, and the old woman was so scared that her body trembled.
“No, no, no… I'm not going in.”
She shook her head like a rattle-drum. As she spoke, she kicked her legs and tried her best to lean her body toward the side of the ship.
A pair of arched feet stepped on the deck, making a harsh sound.
“I'm not going.”
“If you don't, I'll throw you into the river!”
The multiple encounters with ghosts and the fear of being on the vast River had pushed the mental endurance of the people on the ship to the limit. At this time, all of them exploded.
Especially those who lived in Shen Manor, who had already boarded the ship and had been trapped in this damn place for a long time, it was even more unbearable.
The evil in human nature was stimulated. As soon as the person who spoke finished speaking, someone reached out and grabbed the old woman's leg.
Even Auntie Wu's two sons stretched out their hands and twisted the old woman's arms.
Everyone's behavior was not quite right. They seemed to be extremely violent and fierce.
“Help! Someone's being killed!”
The old woman shouted loudly, but in the vast River region, there was no one else besides this black ship. No matter how loudly she shouted, no one would come to save her.
However, the cry for help spread out and turned into a terrifying echo that entered everyone's ears.
“Daoist priest, help! Daoist priest, I was wrong. Please save my life for the sake of me taking orders from others …”
