Chapter 35 Aunt, I was wrong

Recalling the horror stories he heard in his childhood, the expression on Ran Qing's face was hard to describe.

Who could have expected that the fable horror story made up by the elderly to deceive children would actually be true.

There really are changelings in this world.

And it really doesn’t hurt when the witch eats people!

Ran Qing's right calf was bitten, but until now, he didn't feel any pain.

Standing in front of the mirror and taking a deep breath, Ran Qing prepared to leave the bathroom and go to the living room to clean up the bodies of the two witches.

The two bodies didn't bleed much, but the smell was terrible.

Ran Qing was worried that the stench would spread and attract neighbors.

By then, people would see him standing in Li Hongye's house covered in blood, while Li Hongye's parents would become two corpses...

But the moment he turned off the faucet and left, Ran Qing found that the person in the mirror had not moved.

Ran Qing in the mirror looked at him coldly, like a different person.

A man and a shadow looked at each other through the mirror. This strange scene made Ran Qing stunned.

He slowly wiped the moisture off his clothes and put them into his pocket.

There is also the incense ash brought from Aunt Liu's house.

But when it saw Ran Qing's actions, the figure in the mirror was not afraid. Instead, it grinned, revealing a row of sharp, serrated fangs.

It chuckled and said, "You've been poisoned, Ran Qing."

"How dare you eat the food given by the witch!"

The figure in the mirror sneered.

Ran Qing's expression changed drastically: "You are a ghost!"

The figure in the mirror just sneered and said sarcastically, "You've been poisoned!"

"Go find a place to lie down!"

“The bathroom floor is cold!”

After the person in the mirror finished speaking, Ran Qing's brain suddenly felt dizzy and he felt dizzy.

He subconsciously touched his mouth and found that there were still some meat dumpling crumbs in his mouth, which the monster had stuffed into his mouth before.

Did I swallow these pieces of meat unconsciously?

The dizziness grew stronger, and Ran Qing no longer cared about what he saw in the mirror. He hurriedly opened the bathroom door and went out, but after taking just two steps, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Ran Qing felt his eyes go dark, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Darkness instantly engulfed Ran Qing.

In this dark and confused state, Ran Qing seemed to have left Li Hongye's house and came to an unfamiliar place, with many figures running back and forth around him.

Those figures pointed at him, screamed at him, and talked about him.

But Ran Qing, lying in the darkness, felt so heavy all over that he couldn't even lift a finger.

After an unknown amount of time, Ran Qing's stagnant brain suddenly heard the sound of a key turning in the door lock.

The tiny sound was very soft, but it instantly woke Ran Qing up. He opened his eyes in shock and found himself lying on the cold floor of Li Hongye's house.

The living room was dark, and it was equally pitch black outside the window. I had been unconscious from morning until dusk.

From the direction of Li Hongye's house, the sound of a key turning could be heard in the keyhole, which was extremely harsh in the dark and silent night.

Ran Qing was a little flustered.

Is there someone else at Li Hongye's house? Did she come home after dark?
He tried to get up, but found his whole body weak and powerless, and even lifting his arms was difficult.

He could only watch as the turning sound of the lock on Li Hongye's door stopped, and then the door opened.

The dim light from the stairwell outside the door shone into the entrance hall, and a sickly old dog came in, followed by a middle-aged woman with a gloomy face, wearing a headscarf and a dirty batik dress.

Sixth Aunt...

The moment he saw Aunt Liu, Ran Qing was stunned.

He subconsciously wanted to get up.

But just as he lifted his body, his head fell to the ground uncontrollably with a dull thud. Seeing this, Aunt Liu hurried over, her footsteps rushing past the two monster corpses.

"Kid, are you okay?!"

Liu Shen held Ran Qing's face with his hands and looked into Ran Qing's eyes nervously: "Can you see clearly?"

Aunt Six held up three fingers: "What's this?"

Ran Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "Three..."

Only then did Aunt Liu breathe a sigh of relief.

She walked to the entrance, closed the door, turned on the light in the living room, and then returned to Ran Qing.

After carrying the weak Ran Qing to lie down on the sofa, Aunt Liu squatted beside him and carefully checked Ran Qing's injuries.

"They are actually two witches... Your child is so lucky," Aunt Liu muttered to herself as she checked Ran Qing's injuries.

The middle-aged woman who always looked ferocious now had an expression of relief and fear on her face.

Ran Qing, lying on the sofa, stared at her blankly. Looking at the nervous expression on Aunt Liu's dark and rough face, he felt as if he was dreaming.

That vicious Sixth Aunt was actually worried about him...

He thought that Sixth Aunt only disliked and hated him.

Ran Qing didn't dare to speak, but his heart was warm.

An unfamiliar warmth and melancholy spread throughout my body.

After grandma passed away, no one cared about him like this for many years...

Aunt Six carefully checked him before pulling down Ran Qing's trouser legs and saying, "It's nothing serious. The wound isn't deep. He was just poisoned by the witch. He'll be fine after a while."

As she spoke, Aunt Liu walked to the corner of the living room, squatted beside the small iron basin used to feed the dog, picked up the basin and looked at it.

Seeing Aunt Liu go to check the iron basin, the dog guarding the sofa suddenly trembled all over, tucked its tail between its legs, and lay on the ground in fear.

It's like the sky is falling.

Ran Qing was stunned, wondering why the dog suddenly became so scared.

Aunt Liu had already picked up the iron basin, stood up, and looked at the dog coldly.

"I told you to follow Ran Qing and help him keep an eye on any danger, but you're so greedy when you see food that you dare to eat anything the witch gives you!"

"You're tired of living, aren't you? You don't want to live anymore, right? If it weren't for Ran Qing's ability, you would have become shit in your wife's belly tonight!"

Aunt Six came over angrily, carrying an iron basin, her face gloomy and fierce. Under the light and shadow, the half-revealed face looked as terrifying as a demon.

Seeing Aunt Six like this, not to mention the dog, even Ran Qing felt his scalp tingling.

Aunt Six is ​​scarier than a ghost!
He felt limp all over and unable to move.

The dog lying next to the sofa was trembling with fear, with its tail between its legs.

Aunt Liu angrily held the dog's head and smashed the iron basin hard on the dog's head: "I let you eat! I let you eat!"

"I've told you so many times, but you didn't listen. You're as greedy as a dog! You've been a dog for so long, you really think you're a dog, don't you?"

"I can't even control my mouth!"

"I let you eat! I let you eat!"

Aunt Liu held the iron basin with a ferocious look on her face and kept hitting the dog's head with it in extreme anger.

The ping-pong sounds made Ran Qing's scalp tingle.

But what shocked Ran Qing even more was what Sixth Aunt said.

I've been a dog for too long... What is Aunt Liu talking about!

Isn't this just a dog?
Ran Qing looked at the sickly old dog in horror, trembling all over after being hit by Aunt Liu.

Finally, the dog let out a cry of fear.

The crying of a little girl rang out in the living room.

"Aunt, I was wrong! Please stop hitting me! Wuwuwu..."
