Chapter 66 Only the Golden Saint can save us
"How could corpse worms grow on a living person?"
It was late at night when Wu Minmin returned home. The meal prepared by her grandmother and mother was rich and delicious. She had been busy all day, and disgusting flesh worms kept falling off her body.
The sumptuous dinner was hard for her to swallow.
After a few quick bites she fell asleep.
Before going to bed she was still thinking about the cloth.
"It's been three days."
She was worried and upset.
"Tick-tock." Suddenly, the sound of water drops falling on the wooden board appeared out of nowhere. Her heart tightened and she pulled the quilt tighter.
In her vague memory of falling asleep, she had heard this strange sound more than once, as if someone was dripping water on the wooden floor. The sound was clear and very strange.
Wu Minmin closed her eyes.
"Tick tock."
The sound of dripping water was constant.
"Dong dong dong."
The sound of toes tapping the ground came from far away.
She took a deep breath and realized this was not a dream.
Is there really something dirty at home?
She recalled what happened three years ago when the drought began. Her father told her grandfather that in order to survive they had to go south, where the Wu family also had property and they didn't have to worry about being killed by the drought. For the sake of his family's survival, her grandfather listened to her father and the family went south.
Before leaving, her father had a quarrel with her mother because her mother didn't want to leave home. She had gone to see her father in the middle of the night to discuss moving, and she seemed to have heard similar noises in front of her father's door, but she hadn't thought much about it before.
Could it be that the Wu family has been unclean since three years ago?
"Thump, thump, thump..." The heartbeats came one after another.
She held her breath.
"Dongdong...Huh..." It was as if someone was blowing air towards her bed. At the same time, the temperature dropped sharply, as if winter had arrived.
"Tick-tock...boom-boom..."
The instinctive sense of crisis reappeared.
"what!"
A scream was heard, but it was not from Wu Minmin. When Wu Minmin heard it was her mother's voice, she immediately threw off the quilt and jumped out of the bed. She ignored the icy water under her feet and ran out of the room.
When she got up from the bed, the object disappeared.
"what!"
The screams were getting closer, mixed with a man's anxious concern.
When she arrived at her parents' room, she opened the door and saw her mother, Wu Huier, holding a pair of scissors and trying to stab her father.
"Mom!" Wu Minmin ran to her mother and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Snap!" She snatched the scissors and threw them far away.
"Minmin, you came at the right time. Your mother suddenly had a nightmare and wanted to grab a pair of scissors to hurt me to death." Zhang Heng looked terrified and frightened.
"nightmare?"
She found that her mother was indeed a little confused.
"mother!"
"What happened?" Old Madam Wu came over, leaning on a cane, with a large group of maids and servants, her face full of worry.
"Grandma, mother suddenly had a nightmare, and she is still a little confused right now." Wu Minmin grabbed Wu Huier, who was extremely strong.
Zhang Heng touched his chest and said with lingering fear: "Yes, mother, I was about to fall asleep when Hui'er suddenly woke up. She picked up a pair of scissors and wanted to stab me to death. If Minmin hadn't arrived in time, I would have been stabbed by Hui'er and bled."
"Nightmare?" Old Mrs. Wu looked at her daughter worriedly.
"Quickly get a rope and tie the lady to the bed!" she shouted quickly.
"You can't force a person to wake up from a nightmare. Otherwise, at the mildest, he'll have a headache or brain swelling for a few days, or at the worst, he'll lose his memory and become a fool." Old Mrs. Wu said very experiencedly.
"Wuwuwu, kill you! I'm going to kill you! Why?! Hahaha!"
Wu Huier kept repeating this sentence.
She struggled wildly under the shackles of the maids and old women, sometimes crying and shouting, sometimes laughing wildly, her voice was sharp, strange and intermittent.
"Mom!" Wu Minmin looked at her worriedly.
"Hui'er." Old Mrs. Wu looked at her daughter in distress. She couldn't understand why her daughter, who had always been normal, suddenly had a nightmare.
"Hui'er, oh! What's going on?!" Zhang Heng's tone was worried and irritated. He sighed heavily and frowned.
He was about to go forward to comfort his wife.
But he found that his wife was staring at him with a hungry light in her eyes, as if she wanted to devour him.
He suddenly stopped, unwilling to move forward.
"Wuwuwu, kill you! I'm going to kill you! Why?! Hahaha!"
Wu Huier continued to toss and turn until the sun came out the next day, and then she fell asleep.
Her face was pale, and her voice had become hoarse from the tossing and turning all night. Fortunately, she finally calmed down, and Zhang Heng called a doctor to see her.
The doctor looked at it and said only four words:
"Too frightened."
What made Wu Huier, who is usually carefree, so frightened?
Everyone in the Wu family was puzzled.
"We still need to resolve the source of her fear, otherwise she will cry and scream when she wakes up." The doctor suggested: "I will give Madam a few injections to calm her mind."
The doctor left after giving the injection.
Wu Huier was still sleeping.
"This is how to do?"
Old Mrs. Wu said anxiously.
She said to her granddaughter who always had her own ideas, "Your mother doesn't look like an ordinary nightmare. Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, your mother's nightmare is inexplicable. How about going to Qihuang Mountain to meet the Golden Saint Lady your mother mentioned?"
"Grandma...I..."
Wu Minmin took a deep breath. She didn’t have much time left.
She had no idea at the moment.
"Mom, let's find a famous monk to perform a ritual for Hui'er. No one has ever seen the Golden Saint Goddess, so whether she can be trusted remains to be seen." Zhang Heng suggested.
Madam Wu nodded to her son-in-law and said, "You can do it."
"Minmin, how is the investigation going?"
Wu Minmin moved her lips and forced a smile, saying, "My granddaughter only has a few days left."
Madam Wu said sadly: "No one can help you."
There was a sudden loud noise at the door, mixed with shrill, ear-piercing insults.
Old Madam Wu and Zhang Heng knew that the people who had bought cloth or clothes from her family had come. Whenever they came in the past few days, they would throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs all over the floor. After they had cleaned it, they would throw them away again. The door was almost never clean.
"Come out! Give us justice!"
Wu Minmin listened to the angry curses of the people behind the wall and felt extremely distressed.
How could this be?
Is the most famous cloth shop in Xiping County going to be destroyed in her hands?
The people found that the number of maggots on their bodies increased every day. At the beginning, the maggots were the size of rice grains, and then they became fat flesh-worms, appearing in groups. They rubbed their bodies until their skin turned red and rotten, but they still couldn't get rid of the maggots.
Maggots are disgusting and bite people.
They angrily threw rotten vegetable leaves at the Wu family.
"If it doesn't work, let's go back to the south." Old Lady Wu said behind her granddaughter.
Some people among the people have been bitten by maggots and their bodies are burning, their skin is red, and their lips have lost their blood color and turned pure white.
terror!
Someone came over and exclaimed:
"This looks like death!"
"No, let's go to Qihuang Mountain and pay our respects to the Golden Saint Goddess and pray for her mercy."
"Yes! Let's go to Qihuang Mountain and pray to the Goddess. Only the Golden Saint Goddess can save us."
In order to survive, the people went to Qihuang Mountain in large numbers.
