Chapter 258 Poisoned?
Chapter 258 Poisoned?
Wu Jiarong's words confused Li Zixuan, and he always felt that something was wrong.
So he was a little absent-minded throughout the whole day.
After dinner in the evening, Wu Jiarong went straight back to his room, leaving only Li Zixuan and A Tu to clean up.
Li Zixuan saw that there was no one around, so he handed a cigarette to Ah Tu and asked in a low voice:
"A Tu, do you know where Xing Zhi lives?
Why haven’t I seen her during the day? "
After Ah Tu took the cigarette, he was stunned when he heard the words.
He looked at the red cloth on the altar and wanted to tell Li Zixuan the truth, but he was a little afraid.
After thinking about it, he still didn't want his good friend to get into trouble, so he stammered:
"She has..."
"Cough cough..."
Before he could say anything, Wu Jiarong appeared at the door of the living room and coughed loudly twice to remind them.
When Ah Tu saw Wu Jiarong looking at him coldly, his face suddenly showed fear.
She shrank her head and hid behind Li Zixuan, lowering her head and not daring to look at him.
Li Zixuan looked at the fear in Ah Tu's eyes. He didn't understand why Master Ah Rong was so angry, so he interrupted:
"Master Rong, what's wrong with Ah Tu?"
Wu Jiarong ignored Li Zixuan and shouted at Ah Tu:
"come over."
Ah Tu didn't dare to resist and walked over tremblingly. Before he could react, Wu Jiarong slapped him:
“Are you free?
If you have so much free time, go and train the new monkey, and stop talking nonsense all day long."
"Master Rong, Ah Tu didn't say anything."
Li Zixuan wanted to defend A Tu, but Wu Jiarong just snorted coldly and turned away.
Out of fear, Ah Tu did not dare to stay any longer and followed Wu Jiarong out of the living room.
Seeing this, Li Zixuan let out a long sigh.
He didn't understand why Master Arong would get so angry every time he talked about Xingzhi, and today he even caused A Tu to be punished.
Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty and felt sorry for A Tu.
He lowered his head and continued to clean up, thinking that when he went out with Xingzhi tonight, he would buy some toys for A Tu as compensation.
After cleaning the place, Li Zixuan was about to leave when he suddenly froze.
How come the things covered by the red cloth on the altar disappeared?
Just now when Ah Tu was looking at the red cloth and preparing to speak, he clearly saw something.
Just as Li Zixuan was looking for it.
What he didn't know was that in the corner of the threshold, a puppet was staring at him.
At this moment, Li Zixuan felt like he was being watched again.
No matter how dumb he was, he knew that Master Arong might be more than just a puppet maker.
The strong feeling of being watched lingered, and Li Zixuan felt a little scared.
Without bothering to look for something under the red cloth, he hurried back to his room.
As he walked out of the living room, he seemed to see something flying by and turned his head slightly to look.
Li Zixuan was horrified to find that the red cloth had bulged up again.
It was obvious that the thing that could not be found just now was back under the red cloth.
There is no one else here except me, why is this happening?
"what......"
Li Zixuan became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. He screamed and quickly ran back to his room.
He is a college student and has all the intelligence and talent he should have.
Although I don't usually believe in ghosts and gods, so many strange things have happened in the past few days. No matter how much I don't believe, I know that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
He no longer wanted to study with Master Arong here.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Zixuan went back to his room to pack his things, thinking about leaving early the next morning.
Late at night.
Li Zixuan sat in the room with a hint of fear, thinking about everything that had happened in the past two days.
The mysterious Master Rong and Xingzhi, the silly Master Tu, and that strong feeling of being watched.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He just hoped that dawn would come soon.
What he didn't know was that Wu Xingzhi didn't go to see him today, but went to A Tu's room.
A Tu, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened. When he saw the person coming, he first showed a look of fear, and then he smiled.
"Miss, are you alive?"
A Tu looked at the female puppet on the ground and asked with a smile.
It was obvious that A Tu had been deceived.
"Ah Tu, come on.
I have something to talk to you about."
A Tu put on a coat and followed the puppet out step by step.
Wu Jiarong also felt his daughter's behavior at this time. He sighed in his heart and murmured:
"I'm sorry, Utah.
I didn't give her anything when she was alive, and now it's a rare opportunity for her to meet someone she likes.
For her happiness, I can only apologize to you.
But don’t worry, Master will definitely keep you here and won’t let you go down to suffer.”
From Wu Jiarong's soliloquy, we can know that the female puppet on the altar is his daughter Wu Xingzhi who died of illness.
But he couldn't bear to let his daughter leave, so he had to make her into a puppet and keep her.
Li Zixuan, who couldn't sleep because he was thinking about something, smoked a cigarette and stared blankly out the window.
Just then, he noticed that the light in the workroom suddenly lit up.
Although he was a little scared, he was more curious and couldn't help but get up and go over to see who it was.
Walking into the workshop and looking at the empty house, Li Zixuan burst into laughter:
"I'm really suspicious. Maybe there's something wrong with the circuit."
Just as he was about to turn off the lights and go back, he heard some chewing sounds coming from the inner room.
Now he could no longer bear it, so he tiptoed to the back and lifted the curtain of the inner room.
This glance instantly made Li Zixuan's pupils dilate and he covered his mouth in horror.
It turned out that the chewing sound he heard was a large group of puppets gnawing at A-Tu's body.
Looking at the motionless Ah Tu, Li Zixuan knew that he might be dead. At this moment, countless questions flashed through his mind:
"The puppet is alive? The puppet is eating people?"
"Boom boom boom..."
The sound of his strongly beating heart seemed to be discovered by the puppet inside. A puppet that looked like an old man looked out the door and said grimly:
"Who is it? Who is outside?"
Li Zixuan was frightened by the eerie and old voice, and he quickly hid aside to avoid sight.
He wanted to run but his legs were weak and he was afraid that running would make too much noise.
I could only stand quietly by the door, praying in my heart that I would not be discovered.
A few minutes later.
Li Zixuan felt that there seemed to be no movement inside. He was afraid that he was hallucinating because of the mushroom poisoning he had eaten tonight, so he carefully lifted the door curtain and looked inside again.
But as soon as he opened the door curtain, countless puppets pounced on him, and one of the female puppets was almost reaching his face.
"what......"
Li Zixuan was so scared that he closed his eyes and ran away.
But he did not escape. Instead, his sleeve was grabbed. In his panic, he heard someone shouting his name:
"Zixuan, Zixuan...what's wrong with you?
Did you also eat the mushrooms that Ah Tu picked today?"
