Living Sacrifice

My heart went cold. If something happened to Master Zhao's family, then wouldn't my father be finished as well?
"Old granny!" Just what exactly is going on? How do you know that Master Zhao's family is in trouble? " I asked anxiously.
The Grand Matriarch carefully surveyed her surroundings and whispered, "It's Soo Soo! Those people must have been killed by Soo Soo. "
I did not see Soo Soo when I went to the Zhao family. I asked back, "Grandmother, can you not lie to a good person? I have never seen Soo Soo. How can you lie to a good person out of thin air? Besides, my Abba is still in the hands of Fifth Master Zhao. I definitely won't leave. "
Seeing my resolute attitude, the grandma said helplessly, "Fine, since you're unwilling to give up, I'll let you see for yourself tonight."
I don't know if what the Grand Matriarch said is true or not, but this is my hometown. Furthermore, my father and Soo Soo's whereabouts are unknown, and a strange old lady is actually controlling my life.
I did not give up and let the Grand Matriarch wait until nightfall. The Grand Matriarch followed me back to Master Zhao's house.
There were a lot of people in the village during the day, and at night, it was not like in the big city. These villagers all woke up early to do farm work, and at night, the entire village rested.
I was standing in front of Master Zhao's door, but before I reached it, I felt something was wrong. Why did the iron door that I touched normally during the day have a layer of water vapor on it?
My heart beats rapidly. It is August and the weather is hot right now. Even though it is night, the temperature should be at least 25 or 26 degrees Celsius. It was clearly the result of a low temperature.
"Ferocious and sinister, incomparably cold. These are all ghosts of the wrongdoers. If you don't believe me, look through the gap in the door."
The Grand Matron was muttering in my ear, and I felt my scalp grow cold. I leaned close to the crack of the door and looked in.
Some were reading books, some were playing cards, some were playing mobile games, and some were even eating.
I thought it was funny that these people might have come home at night.
"Grand Matriarch, what's there to be surprised about? They're all people." I looked at the grandma.
However, there was no expression on the old woman's shrivelled face. She paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Look carefully, do you have any dents on their necks? Do you all use your toes to tap the ground?!"
The dent on his neck, the tip of his foot touching the ground?
I took another look at the Grand Matriarch's face, and it was true!
The people in the yard were all nudging the ground with their toes. Their necks seemed to be stretched to the point that some of them even had their heads tilted, making them look like people with big heads. The depressions on their necks were very obvious, some of them had even had their necks broken, so their heads simply hung on their shoulders!
F * ck!
These people were not living people, they were clearly dead ghosts!
I was startled, and was about to cry out, when the matron gagged my mouth.
I quickly took a few steps back, gasping for breath, not understanding what was happening.
The Grand Matriarch pulled me away from Master Zhao's house and the two of us walked straight out of the village.
After panting for a long time, the old granny said, "See, these people still do not know that they are dead. They have all become ghosts, and they were all strangled alive. My guess is right. They were all killed by Soo Soo."
Soo Soo again? Why did the Grand Matriarch feel so sorry for Soo Soo? However, if Soo Soo took away the white silk, the white silk would become a weapon.
"Old granny!" Don't forget to do everything you can to get evidence. Soo Soo and Master Zhao's family have no enmity with each other, so why would she want to kill those innocent people? " I asked, puzzled.
"Don't forget, Zhao Quan'er was number seven yesterday, while Soo Soo was also number seven today. She died a long time ago, and now that she has taken away the white silk that hooked her soul, she will become an evil spirit. The evil ghost will take her life, and all those who bear grudges will be killed. No one is an exception, we should hurry up and leave before it's too late."
I panicked. The grandma is an old lady who knows how to catch ghosts. It seems like she can't handle Soo Soo's abilities. Otherwise, she wouldn't have run away in panic. But what about dad?
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt.
"Child! "Now we can only go out and call for reinforcements. My cultivation is limited, but I have a senior brother in Jiangxia Town who can catch evil spirits. If we can find him for help, things might change for the better."
This saying made a lot of sense. Although I am stupid, I still understand this little bit of simple logic.
"Grand Matriarch, I know about Jiangxia Town. When I go to work in the city, I have to go through Jiangxia. A few days ago, in order to let Soo Soo escape, I even booked a private car. I still have the driver's phone number."
If Soo Soo was really a normal woman, she would have already come looking for me long ago. She doesn't know what kind of secretive things she is doing now. Now that all the people from the Zhao Family are dead, she will definitely not be able to escape her responsibility.
The Grand Matriarch's eyes lit up, as if she saw some hope. She grabbed my sleeve and shook it vigorously.
"Silly child, then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call him over. How far can we walk on two legs?"
I quickly took out my phone. Suddenly, I found that my phone was out of battery. Only then did I remember that I still had the phone that came out of Master Zhao's house in my pocket.
The latest Apple phone! Haha!
I was overjoyed. This phone was either an Apple 7 or an Apple 6. I had never seen the exact model, not even the poor people like me. Opening up the phone didn't have a password.
After a few beeps, Master Wang answered the phone. However, the person who was speaking was not Master Wang, but a woman.
The middle-aged woman's voice sounded a bit impatient. She snappily said, "Are you bored this late? Who are you?"
I was overjoyed and excitedly said, "My name is Wu Lei. A few days ago, I made an appointment with Master Wang and we have already agreed on the price. Can you come over to our place now? I'll pay a lot more."
The woman seemed to be angry and she said impatiently, "Pay more? "How much can you give me? Tell me the amount."
I hesitated for a moment. Jiangxia Town was more than 100 miles away from us, so it would cost at least 500 yuan. I grabbed my phone and cleared my throat, "I'll give 2000 yuan. Come and pick me up now. If you hurry, I'll add another 1000 yuan!"
The middle-aged woman gave a start. She paused for a long time and told me to wait. I waited for a few minutes.
"Hey!" Little Wu? I'm Old Wang, how much did you say you're giving me? "
I shouted, "I'll give two thousand! Two thousand! My grandma is sick! She can't hold on anymore! Hurry up and come over!"
The grandma looked at me furiously. I quickly hung up the phone.
"You kid, you're really going too far. Your words are always ridiculous, am I not fine?"
I giggled and said, "Grandmother, there's nothing I can do about this. As the saying goes, 'Men die for wealth while birds die for food'. He will definitely come and find me for money."
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, we walked along the road at the village entrance for another half an hour. However, after a long time, Master Wang didn't call. I was about to ask him if he had already sent the car when my phone suddenly rang.
"You are my little little apple, no matter how much I love you, it won't be too much …"
I picked up my phone and saw that the number on it was unknown. It looked like it belonged to a member of the Zhao Family. I quickly muted my phone, afraid that my location would be exposed.
But after ten more minutes of walking, I felt something wasn't right. The light in my pocket kept flickering, and I couldn't stop dialing.
Not good! What if someone was looking for Master Zhao's family? If I didn't answer the phone for so long, I would definitely be suspected by others. I might as well answer the phone, since the other party didn't recognize my voice at all. Perhaps they wouldn't be able to recognize me.
The call came through. I didn't say anything, just waited for him to say it.
Looking at the time on the screen, a few seconds passed. The other side coughed twice. It was the voice of a middle-aged man.
"Wu Lei, you unfilial grandson! "I'm Zhao Wu, your dad is still in my hands, you just left like this, it's truly outrageous!"
That sound was clearly from my phone and it was quite loud. I jumped in shock and quickly looked back. The village road behind me was dark and devoid of any trace of Zhao Wu.
"Old granny!" Just what exactly is going on? How do you know that Master Zhao's family is in trouble? " I asked anxiously.
The Grand Matriarch carefully surveyed her surroundings and whispered, "It's Soo Soo! Those people must have been killed by Soo Soo. "
