Chapter 251 The Barnacle Becomes a Spirit
Chu Qi quickly turned the diary to the front. Because it had been so long, although the paper was still intact, the handwriting had deteriorated a little.
"What Dad wrote are his experiences in physiognomy research, so what is the important secret he talked about?" Chu Runrun asked puzzledly.
Chu Qi looked through it carefully, but couldn't figure out anything after a long time.
"Dad must have his reasons for saying that. Let's study it after we get back!" Chu Qi said.
Ning Yu came over and put his arm around Chu Qi's shoulders and said, "Let's go eat something first. Only when you're full will you have the energy to think!"
As soon as Chu Runrun turned around, she found that Ning Xuan and Dahei were gone.
"Brother, where are you and Dahei?" Chu Runrun asked.
"They went to explore the area near the cabin. There's even food here, so maybe there's something else!"
As soon as Ning Yu finished speaking, Ning Xuan and Dahei ran in, looking anxious.
"Come with me quickly, we found a cellar over there, and there's a body in the cellar!"
"What!"
Chu Runrun and Chu Qi were suddenly shocked. A bad idea came to their minds and they ran out immediately.
The cellar was right next to the wooden house. After Chu Runrun and Chu Qi went down, they hurried towards the corpse.
After many years, the body has become shriveled. Judging from the bones, it should be a man.
The mummy was standing upright, with its hands pinching its neck and its mouth wide open, as if it had experienced something particularly terrifying before death.
Chu Qi forced herself to calm down and measured the height of the mummy with her hand. It was about 1.75 meters tall. Her father was 1.83 meters tall. This mummy was not her father.
Chu Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head at Chu Ruanruan.
Chu Ruanruan also breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
The two looked at each other and smiled relaxedly.
Ning Xuan and Ning Yu quickly helped the two men up.
"It's good that he's not my father-in-law." Ning Xuan said with a smile.
Chu Ruanruan pinched Ning Xuan's waist secretly when she heard this title: "Who are you calling father-in-law? I haven't even married you yet!"
"You'll have to yell it sooner or later anyway, so let's practice it first and get it fluent!" Ning Xuan said with a smile.
Chu Qi chuckled and looked at Ning Yu and said, "Look at how sensible Ning Xuan is. Why don't you learn from him?"
Ning Yu nuzzled Chu Qi's face and said with a smile, "He can't call me wife, so he just wants to talk about it. Why should I imitate him?"
Chu Qi blushed and glared at Ning Yu angrily.
"Let's lift this mummy up first, and then we'll see who he is when we get back!" Chu Runrun said.
Ning Xuan walked to the side and picked up two barrels of engine oil. "We have fuel here. Since the rain has stopped, let's fill up the speedboat and go take a look around first!"
"good!"
Ning Yu quickly filled the speedboat with fuel and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure it could start.
Chu Ruanruan and Chu Qi were studying the mummy when they suddenly felt a vibration under their feet.
"What's going on? Sister, do you feel that the island seems to be shaking?" Chu Runrun frowned.
"It seems a little!" Chu Qi nodded.
When the two of them felt it carefully, the shaking was gone.
"Maybe he didn't stand firmly. It's getting dark. Let's go back to the cabin!" Chu Runrun said.
"good!"
Ning Yu and Ning Xuan wrapped the mummy in cloth and threw it onto the speedboat, then returned to the cabin together.
At night, a strong wind blew again on the lake. Chu Runrun, who was half asleep and half awake, seemed to see something flash past outside the wooden house.
"who!"
Chu Ruanruan screamed, and the other three were awakened.
"Ruanruan, what's wrong?"
"Just now I saw something passing by outside." Chu Runrun said.
Ning Xuan pushed open the door carefully. It was pitch black outside, and the faint candlelight in the wooden house could only barely illuminate the room.
"There's nothing outside!"
"Ruanruan, are you too nervous? Do you want me to sing a song to put you to sleep?" Chu Qi joked.
Ning Yu coughed lightly: "Let's not do that! I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep if you sing!"
Chu Qi glared at Ning Yu and threatened, "Does my singing sound bad?"
"No...it's not that bad!" Ning Yu could only laugh dryly.
"Sister, don't threaten big brother. Don't you have any idea of your own singing level?" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
Chu Qi glared at Chu Ruanruan, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Ning Xuan hugged Chu Ruanruan into his arms and whispered, "Go to sleep!"
Chu Runrun was too tired and fell asleep again without realizing it.
In the middle of the night, there was a rustling sound, and Dahei, who was sleeping soundly on the ground, suddenly screamed wildly.
"Woof! Woof!"
The four of them were suddenly awakened.
The candles in the wooden house had gone out. In the moonlight, the four people saw that there seemed to be a dense layer of something on the ground.
"What is this?"
Chu Ruanruan quickly turned on the flashlight on her phone.
When the light was turned on, the black spots on the ground turned out to be barnacles.
They formed a circle around them and seemed to be about to attack them.
Suddenly, Chu Ruanruan felt a sharp pain on her calf. She looked down and saw a barnacle had landed on her calf.
Chu Ruanruan immediately reached out and tried to pull it off, but as soon as she touched the barnacle, she felt a piercing pain in her calf.
It seemed that the barnacle had countless thorns that had penetrated into her bones, and any pull would move the bones.
"These barnacles can parasitize the human body, let's go!" Chu Runrun gritted her teeth.
Chu Qi threw out three fire talismans to open a path through the barnacles, and the four of them quickly evacuated the wooden house.
As soon as they walked out the door, the four of them couldn't help but shiver.
Countless barnacles were lying densely on the shore, and their speedboat was also covered with them.
Dahei transformed into a human form and jumped into the barnacles, emitting the aura of a thousand-year-old demon.
“Ouch!”
Dahei let out a long roar towards the sky, and the barnacles began to tremble.
Dahei slapped the ground with his claws, and the barnacles immediately scattered as if they had grown legs.
"Master, come here quickly!" Dahei shouted at Chu Ruanruan.
Chu Ruanruan and the others hurried over.
After all the barnacles retreated, Chu Qi immediately checked the injury on Chu Ruanruan's leg.
"Have these barnacles become spirits? How can they parasitize the human body?"
Chu Qi pulled out her knife and was about to pry open the barnacle when Da Hei quickly stopped her.
Big Black bared his teeth and barked at the barnacle a few times. The barnacle seemed to be frightened and burrowed a little deeper into Chu Ruanruan's flesh.
Chu Ruanruan trembled in pain, and Dahei became angry.
"Get out here!"
The barnacle seemed to understand what Dahei said and slowly moved out of Chu Ruanruan's calf.
As the barnacles moved, they clearly saw two red tentacles as thin as hair emerging from Chu Ruanruan's calf.
Seeing that it was almost out, Chu Qi was about to pull it out, but Dahei quickly stopped her.
"Don't move! It'll leave roots inside!"
