Chapter 53: The Haunted House in the Mountain Village 6
Yu Ke stared blankly at the shabby wooden door that creaked shut in front of her.
Why were you kicked out suddenly?
She was so slow and slow that she hadn't even reacted yet when Lu Ye grabbed her out.
Yi Nian was helpless. He didn't expect the old man to get furious when he heard about the haunted house and directly drove them out.
There is no choice but to continue on our way.
Yu Ke pursed her lips and quickly accepted the result.
Although she hadn't rested enough, it was getting late and she didn't want to walk in the dark on the mountain road just for a short rest.
but……
She turned her head and glanced at the coat in Lu Ye's hand. She had just used it as a cushion on the ground to sit on it, and it was now dirty.
"Well," Yu Ke pointed at the coat sheepishly, "Let me take it. I'll return it to you after I wash it."
Lu Ye didn't even listen to her. Instead, he stuffed his coat back into his bag, then turned around and half-knelt in front of Yu Ke, "Come up."
Not only did she not get the coat, but she also had to put herself on it: "...Huh?"
Lu Ye turned his head to look at her, his brows frowned, "What? Can you still walk?"
Suddenly he remembered something and sneered, "Why, you don't want me to carry you, you want Yi Nian to carry you?"
Yu Ke, who hasn’t said anything yet:?
...He is really sensitive.
Lu Minmin bluntly criticized Yi Nian: "Do you think he can carry you? That's wishful thinking!"
Yu Ke retorted in a low voice: "I didn't ask him to carry me, I can walk by myself."
Lu Ye sneered: "With your slow speed, I have already walked two laps. Come on, stop wasting time. If you had time to waste, you would have walked here a long time ago."
Seeing him half-squatting in front of her, with an attitude that he would not give up until he achieved his goal, the little Piaoliang, who would not refuse anyone, could only bite her lip and climb onto his shoulders.
Lu Ye grabbed her soft knees with both hands and lifted her up effortlessly. He suddenly suspended her in the air, causing Yu Ke to lean forward and touch his muscular back due to inertia.
Knowing clearly which part of the body the soft touch belonged to, Lu Ye's back muscles couldn't help but tense up, and a warm current instantly flowed down from his abdomen.
His body stiffened and he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move."
Yu Ke, who had already propped herself up, felt very innocent and could only try to hold on to his shoulders to maintain her balance.
But the man with ulterior motives will not calm down at all.
The faint fragrance from behind lingered at his nose. Her slender, pink fingers tightly grasped his shoulders, and his hands were pinching her tender thigh flesh.
The man was imagining things and getting more and more angry, so he unknowingly increased the strength of his hands.
Yu Ke had no idea what obscene thoughts the person behind her was thinking.
She had an inexplicable feeling in her heart and looked back at the mountain temple behind her, but was surprised to find that a man with long hair and black robe appeared in front of the temple at some point.
Because they were some distance apart, she couldn't see the man's face clearly, but she felt that the man was looking at them.
who is he?
Is he also from the temple?
As she was pondering the man's identity, the pain in her leg interrupted her thoughts.
"Ouch!" Yu Ke groaned in pain and reached out to pat Lu Ye to indicate, "It hurts."
Her voice was soft and her moans were melodious and pleasant. Lu Ye felt dizzy and even wanted to listen more. His breathing became heavy.
Yu Ke was stunned when she heard it, then she understood.
She said tactfully: "If you are tired, put me down."
Don't be too aggressive in life.
Thinking about how Lu Ye became so tired after carrying her on his back for less than a minute, Xiao Piaoliang sighed.
If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. Why force yourself?
Accurately catching the thoughts of the person behind him, Lu Ye immediately stopped caring about being vulgar, veins on his forehead jumped, and he lowered his voice fiercely and said: "Who are you saying is not good enough!?"
Yu Ke covered her mouth subconsciously.
She didn't say it, did she?
Since this was a matter of man's dignity, Lu Ye collected his thoughts, quickened his pace, and was determined to prove that he was capable of it.
Yu Ke quickly put down her hands and grabbed his shoulders to steady herself, then looked back.
The man with long hair and black robe has disappeared.
This time they didn't have to walk by themselves. Yu Ke felt that time passed very quickly, and soon they arrived at their destination - the mountain village where the haunted house was located.
When they reached the village gate, she struggled to get off Lu Ye's back.
A few people walked into the village and found something strange.
As they walked along, they didn't see any adults in the village. There were only old people and children killing time outside their homes.
Yi Nian thought about it, took out the candy he had on him, and lured a few children over to ask them some questions.
Under the sugar-coated bullets, the children talked one after another and soon said a lot.
It turned out that the village chief felt that the haunted house could not be left alone, so he went to the nearby area to invite a witch who was said to have real skills to come and perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits.
Every household in the village rushed to watch the fun, only the elderly and children who were frail and afraid of getting into trouble stayed behind to look after the house.
The children, who were satisfied with the candies they received, said that the fortune teller had just left not long ago and they could still catch the fun if they went there now.
After hearing this news, how could the suicidal club, who originally came to verify whether there was a ghost in the haunted house, not go?
Of course not!
After saying goodbye to the children, they immediately hurried towards the haunted house.
The haunted house was far away from other houses in the village, as if it had been exiled.
When they arrived at the haunted house, they could no longer see the other families behind them.
The haunted house was no longer as quiet as usual. People were standing inside and outside the house to watch the fun.
They chose a place with fewer people, and the strong Lu Ye pushed through the crowd in a few moves, protecting Yu Ke and squeezing in.
Gao Ancai and Yi Nian quickly took Zhu Yiyu and followed behind, squeezing to the front together and seeing the ritual scene without any obstruction.
The house is now covered with colorful paper everywhere, and on the altar there is smoke rising from the air, and a series of items such as gold bars and talismans are placed on it.
The witch was wearing strange and exaggerated clothes, walking back and forth with a magical instrument in her hand, chanting spells continuously.
It was dusk and the sky was dim, giving everything an ominous red tint.
Yu Ke's heart tightened and her face turned pale.
Ever since she approached this haunted house, she had a bad feeling.
Very uncomfortable.
Quickly realizing that something was wrong with her, Lu Ye reached out to support her, "Don't watch if you feel uncomfortable. I'll take you to rest."
Yu Ke shook her head, and refused to leave for fear of missing out on clues related to the mission.
She gave Lu Ye a reason that he couldn't refute: "I'm here now."
Lu Ye: ...That’s true.
Seeing that the ritual lasted for a long time and nothing happened, Yu Ke was just about to let go of her worries when she saw the door of a room on the side suddenly open by itself.
There was an uproar among the people present.
The witch approached the room slowly with a serious look in her hand, holding her magic tool, and then slowly walked in.
