Fifty-nine Haunted Eyes
Shizhengyi of Tibetan Scriptures to the 34th
Luo Shu''s heart was thumping hard. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at the Lu Family trash house in front of him. Inwardly, she could not help but mutter: "Jing Mo, Jing Mo, you''d better be alright."
If something were to happen to Jing Mo in order to find his father, then he would never forgive himself in his entire life.
Fortunately, two seconds later, Jing Mo ran frantically out of the Lu Family trash house.
Luo Shu was dumbstruck, surprised and happy at the same time.
Jing Mo rushed to the front of Luo Shu, extended his hand, and grabbed Luo Shu''s right hand. Then, taking Luo Shu with him under the moonlight, they sprinted towards the north.
The two of them stepped on the moonlight and sprinted forward. Not long later, they arrived at the wall at the side of Jing Family''s Mansion, and stopped.
Jing Mo looked around to see that there was no one around, and then he relaxed. After calming down, he immediately realized that he was still holding onto Luo Shu''s hand.
Jing Mo''s face immediately flushed red, he anxiously let go of Luo Shu''s hand, and said: "Sorry."
Luo Shu''s face also instantly flushed red. The two of them stood there, helpless under the moonlight.
When the night wind blew, Jing Mo felt his face heat up even more.
Luo Shu''s blushing cheeks slowly returned to normal under the night breeze. Seeing Jing Mo at his side, still at a loss as to what to do, Luo Shu could not help but find it funny.
After a while, Luo Shu opened her mouth to break the awkward silence between the two: "What did you see in the house just now? Why does it feel like I''ve seen a ghost? "
Jing Mo scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Just now after I went in, I looked around, and when I walked to the east side of the house, I saw a beggar half reclined on the north side of the house, with only one arm and a beard, looking to be around 40 or 50 years old, I was startled, and seeing that the beggar''s eyes were closed, I slowly walked over. Just as I walked in front of the beggar, Old Beggar opened his eyes, and Old Beggar''s eyes were as sharp as knives, I jumped in fright, and anxiously ran out."
After Jing Mo finished speaking, he let out a long exhale, as if he still had a lingering fear from the shock he had just experienced.
Luo Shu was also relieved. After all, she knew that the person before him was not her father, and her father, Dr Luo, was not a beggar.
Luo Shu''s face was filled with worry. Jing Mo knew that she was worried, but after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Only the mountain at the back of our clan has never been to our Jingjia Village. Maybe uncle has already gone to the forest at the back of the mountain.
Luo Shu''s words immediately ignited hope in her.
Jing Mo said to Luo Shu: "Let''s go take a look."
Luo Shu hesitated for a moment, then said: "The forest is so dark, aren''t you afraid?"
Just as Jing Mo wanted to brag, to say that he was not afraid, he thought of his sorry state just now, and could no longer brag about it. He only consoled Luo Shu: "I went to that forest twice with the rocks two days ago, it''s nothing."
Luo Shu asked curiously: "Stone? Is it that Lee Yan? "
Jing Mo saw that Luo Shu''s expression was a little strange and asked curiously, "What''s wrong?"
Luo Shu thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Nothing, I''m just a little curious." After pausing for a moment, she still could not resist the girl''s gossiping, "I heard from my classmates that that Lee Yan was extremely arrogant and ignored everyone. I did not expect that he was actually so good to you — — and that they were even going to play together in the forest."
When Luo Shu said this, Jing Mo was also stunned. He had initially thought that Lee Yan was a little mysterious, but she didn''t notice this detail. Thinking back now, it really was the case. Jing Mo himself had never seen Lee Yan playing with other classmates.
Not to mention playing together, they didn''t even notice when they walked together. That''s right, there was only one time, that time he brought Jiao Dahu and Zhou Sen along, but after that one time, Zhou Sen and Jiao Dahu died.
Jing Mo''s heart suddenly sank. When he was together with Lee Yan, it seemed like there would always be deaths. The first time was Jiao Dahu''s death, and the second time was Jing Wubing''s death. In short, as long as he was with Lee Yan, there would always be dead people …
Jing Mo felt mixed emotions in his heart. He hadn''t noticed this before, but it seemed like he shouldn''t think about that rock anymore …
In these past few days, Jing Mo was reading every day in the Jing Family''s Mansion, some of the ancient books only had stories of stones.
In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was born from a divine stone.
A red building built by Cao Xueqin was built on top of a rock...
Stones seem to be causing a lot of unrest... The Desolation of Fate... The changing of the world, the changing of the years...
Jing Mo decided not to think about it anymore. After all, no matter how mysterious Lee Yan was, he had no idea where he was going now.
Jing Mo said to Luo Shu: "Let''s go."
Luo Shu nodded and followed behind Jing Mo. Two young men and women walked along the side of the Jing Family''s Mansion wall towards the rear mountains.
Not long after, the two arrived at the front of the forest. They looked up and saw that the forest was pitch black. The entire forest was like a giant beast crouching at the back of the mountain, ready to devour anyone they saw.
Luo Shu felt a burst of fear in her heart and couldn''t help but reach out to grab Jing Mo''s left hand.
Jing Mo''s heart skipped a beat, and his face was once again burning hot. He consoled Luo Shu in a low voice, "Don''t be afraid, I''m here."
The usually silent and simple wood, with a petite girl at his side, had the courage of a man inside him to leap out.
Holding hands, they braved each other as they slowly walked in.
In the darkness, they did not know how long they had walked for. They only felt that the fallen leaves beneath their feet were getting thicker and thicker, while the moonlight above their heads was becoming lesser and lesser — — from the looks of it, the two of them had already reached the depths of the forest.
Jing Mo did not know how far away he was from the cellar nor where the Dr Luo was, but at that moment, since he was already here, he could only muster up the courage and take the risk.
The two of them held hands and walked for a few minutes. Suddenly, a dark red light flashed in the woods in front of them.
Jing Mo was dumbstruck for a moment, then stopped in his tracks. Luo Shu almost could not stop in his tracks, but she did so in a hurry as well. Luo Shu asked in a low voice: "What''s wrong? Jing Mo. "
Jing Mo looked ahead again, but the dark red light had disappeared without a trace.
Jing Mo''s heart was in turmoil, he hesitated, then shook his head: "I''m fine." Now that he was in the forest, he didn''t want to be surprised.
The two of them walked for another two to three minutes. On the other side of the forest, about twenty meters away, a figure appeared under the light of a flashlight.
That figure was somewhat similar to the Dr Luo.
The figure slowly bent down, as if something on the ground had caught its attention.
Luo Shu was overjoyed, and could not help but exclaim, "Father — —"
Just as Jing Mo wanted to silence her, it was already too late. The figure heard Luo Shu''s call and suddenly stood up. Under the moonlight, that person''s face was actually covered in blood …
That person''s eyes were filled with viciousness within the dripping blood … That place was like a human''s eyes. It was almost like the eyes of a soul reaper from hell …
