Chapter 2023: Fear (1) Chapter 2023: Fear (1) The night sky was lit up by the fire, and the river was dyed red with blood. It had a strong smell of blood and smoke, mixed with the smell of rotting corpses. It was not a good smell, but for these women, it was a rare freedom and out of the ordinary.
However, after a short moment of joy, what followed was fear and apprehension.
He was worried that the truth would be exposed, that he would be reported and end up in the red camp.
That night, song qingxiao stayed in the boathouse. She wanted to see what the red-clothed, faceless female ghost was up to by bringing her back to a hundred years ago.
The yin Qi in the river had completely disappeared. The women beside him found their own corners, but they could not sleep because of the anxiety in their hearts.
The woman holding the cat had been stroking the cat's body the whole night, her fingers and palms rubbing the cat's fur, making a very rhythmic 'Sha Sha' sound, which was so noisy that it made people uneasy.
The river water hit the bottom of the boathouse, making the sound of water waves. Coupled with the faint smell of blood, it was even more difficult for people to sleep.
In the middle of the night, the war drums on the ship finally stopped, but there was an untimely sound of playing instruments.
There were women singing in high-pitched voices, and occasionally, men's strange laughter was mixed in.
It was only when it was almost dawn that it finally quieted down.
The lights in the boathouse had been extinguished at some point, and the place seemed extremely cold and silent.
A thick fog covered the sky above the river today. The faint green light penetrated through the hanging curtains and Windows. A silent atmosphere spread in the boathouse, making it so that one could hear a pin drop.
Song qingxiao opened her eyes after circulating her spiritual force for a week. She saw a few women curled up in a ball.
They had been in fear the whole night and finally fell asleep, but they did not sleep very well, as if the slightest movement of the wind and grass would make them tremble.
'Dong Dong Dong'
A few faint footsteps could be heard, approaching from afar.
The ship shook slightly, and the dead silence of the boathouse was soon awakened.
The few women who had just fallen into a light sleep were disturbed by the footsteps, and their eyes quickly widened with blood vessels.
The woman holding the cat almost jumped out of the bed. Her first reaction was to stuff her cat into the corner of the bed.
Her panicked gaze fell on song Qing, who was sitting by the bed. She paused for a moment, as if she had found her pillar of support. Her expression became calm, and her panicked expression calmed down again.
“It's time to send food …”
A dead man's voice broke the silence on the ship, and there was movement all around.
However, the moment they heard this voice, the few women on the boatyard who had their eyes wide opened looked as if they had seen a ghost. Their bodies trembled like screening chaff.
'Dong Dong Dong'.
The heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a shadow was approaching. The curtain was pulled open by a hand, revealing a familiar yet strange face.
'Ka ka k'
The women clenched their teeth and held back the screams that were about to come out of their throats. Their bodies were shaking like leaves in the autumn wind.
The man who had died by song Qing's hand last night and had his head twisted off had appeared in front of them again.
His face was deathly pale, and his skin was wrinkled as if it had been soaked in water. Water was dripping from his soaked clothes, and with every step he took, a large amount of blood-colored river water would seep into the wooden boards of the boathouse.
“It's time to eat,”
He stared at the women in the boatyard with a dark look, his broken neck still a little crooked.
The man raised his hand very slowly, held his head, and pushed it back to his neck with a crack.
When he said this, he stared at the women in the boatside with a faint smile. His expression made people shudder, and the women were so scared that they couldn't even scream.
Song Qing was stunned for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.
She had also encountered people who she had killed with her own hands being resurrected and appearing in front of her.
Back then, she had also been frightened quite badly, but now she had long overcame the fear in her heart and was not frightened by the scene in front of her.
“Come here.”
She waved at the man again.
Just like last night, the moment he heard her call, he dragged his heavy feet and walked towards her with a dark gaze.
With every step he took, he left a wet and bloody footprint on the boathouse, which was extremely obvious.
When he was in front of song qingxiao, his head started to freeze, and his outstretched hand was dripping with water.
