The brothel owner was on the right, Lao Sha on the left, and Zhang Haitao and I were at the back. The child in white jumped out of the coffin and stood upright on the edge, his back to us. From our perspective, we could only see that the child in white was only half a meter tall. He wore a pointed felt hat made of natural wool, the white wool trimmed with red string, and decorated with weasel fur. He also wore short boots made of lynx skin. His hair was long and flowing, covering his entire body in black hair.
Our faces all looked bad. The brothel owner and Lao Sha were holding knives, poised and ready to strike at any time. They were in a state of alert. He who comes with ill intentions will not come with good intentions. This kid in white is definitely not a good person, so we have to find a way out quickly.
I asked Su Xiaoniu where this kid in white came from?
But unexpectedly, Su Xiaoniu said, "Do I need to say this? Look at him, he exudes a murderous aura from head to toe. Moreover, the two coffins are 'mother and child coffins'. The body in the mother coffin disappeared, so the body in the child coffin naturally came out to seek revenge. You can tell at a glance that this is a little ghost."
Little ghost? I felt relieved all of a sudden. Damn, I can even fight a high-level female ghost like Huo Yan, let alone a mere little ghost.
I was just about to go up and teach this little ghost a lesson when Su Xiaoniu suddenly reminded me, "But this Xiaohe Cemetery has been around for over 3,800 years. The coffins on the lower levels are older. Although this is only the second level, this little ghost has probably been around for thousands of years. It must be a type of 'Millennium Corpse'. Huo Yan can only play a small role in front of it."
Well, just as I was about to take a step forward, my steps suddenly froze.
Damn this thousand-year-old ghost. Huo Yan can only play a small role in front of her. Damn, if I go up to her, wouldn’t that be completely courting death?
"But it's not that difficult to deal with him..." Su Xiaoniu muttered mysteriously, "Child corpses usually have a weakness: lack of love. They need their mother's love. Once they receive it, they will return to their coffins contentedly and sleep peacefully. If you confront them head-on, you have little chance of winning... See those withered bones on the ground? That's the result of tomb robbers who didn't understand the characteristics of child corpses."
I looked around and hadn't noticed it before, but now I see, damn, there are dead bones all over the ground. It seems that many tomb robbers couldn't get past the corpses and were buried here.
"Motherly love..." I looked at Zhang Haitao, then at Lao Sha, and then at the brothel owner. Uh... it seemed that among the four of us, only the brothel owner could accomplish this important task.
I immediately told the brothel owner, "This is a thousand-year-old corpse. You can't force it. You can only rely on motherly love to deal with it."
Zhang Haitao and Lao Sha glanced at me, then turned their gazes towards the brothel owner. The brothel owner shuddered, looked at us awkwardly and said, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Zhang Haitao said doubtfully, "I've only heard of the Millennium Corpse before, but I've never encountered one. However, there's really only one way to deal with it."
Lao Sha looked at the madam and smiled, "Madam, this is up to you."
"Tsk, I thought it was something else." The brothel owner was indeed courageous. After seeing the corpse of the child, she showed no fear at all. She put away her knife and calmly walked to the corpse, revealing her proud breasts. She forced a gentle smile on her face and said to the corpse on the coffin, "Child, do you still recognize me? I am your mother..."
I am your mother... your mother... your mother...
I almost burst out laughing. This brothel owner is just as Lao Sha said, she speaks lies to ghosts and tells people the truth. Now I have finally seen it.
Zhang Haitao, Lao Sha and I stood aside and watched the thrilling "human-ghost mother-son love" between the brothel owner and the corpse.
After the madam finished speaking, the corpse's body moved slightly, and then a "wuwuwu" sound was heard around it, like a ghost crying. Su Xiaoniu said that this was because the madam's words had touched the corpse and had already affected it, and the sound was the corpse calling for the madam.
I was shocked. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Even a thousand-year-old corpse can develop mother-son feelings towards a person. It's really unbelievable.
Then I heard the madam say, "Son, you've been sleeping for so long, why don't we go out and play?"
Then we saw in shock that the corpse's head just clicked lightly and jumped off the coffin, landing in front of the brothel owner. Her messy long hair fell to the ground, and the brothel owner swallowed her saliva. It seemed that even her strong heart was shaken by this, after all, she was just a woman.
Not to mention the madam, all of us grown men were shocked, okay? Especially Lao Sha, who stared at the corpse and the madam with his eyes wide open, almost popping out of his head.
I clearly saw the madam take a deep breath, then approach the corpse and touch its felt hat. It looked just like a mother caressing her son. The three of us, grown men, were stunned.
At this time, Zhang Haitao made a gesture to the madam, pointed at her and Zishi with two fingers, then turned down and pointed at us. The madam saw it and nodded.
I whispered to Zhang Haitao what he meant, and he said, "I'll have the madam hold the corpse steady while we find the entrance to the third floor."
So that's how it is. These explorers truly possess a variety of communication methods. Just by making a few gestures, the other party understands. Just how well do they understand each other? Perhaps only close friends like them, who have experienced life and death together, can achieve this.
Anyway, I didn't understand anything.
I followed Lao Sha and Zhang Haitao around the area, and wherever we moved the flashlight, we'd see a skeleton buried in the sand, looking quite miserable. The thought of whether Xuanxuan was still alive or dead made me even more anxious.
