Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 500

   "Of course," Xiaolan held back his excitement and nodded emphatically, "Now there is still some time before dark, and I will get my face back before then."

  Sounds not too suspicious, right?

  The linen shirt and the yellow skirt exchanged glances, the two of them had solemn expressions.

   Xiaolan thinks it is better to be quiet at this moment.

Finally, the linen shirt covered her right eye with her fingers and began to work hard. Xiaolan almost thought she was going to do something to her eyes. After a while, a few strands of light blue mist gradually ooze out between the fingers of the linen shirt, the mist. Quickly dissipated in the air, Xiaolan felt that the temperature around her body seemed to have dropped a little.

  The linen shirt breathed a sigh of relief, panting slightly, and after a long while, he took away the palm covering his eyes.

  There were a few bloodshot eyes in her right eye, and nothing else was abnormal.

   Seeing Xiaolan staring at her, the linen shirt smiled and opened her palm.

"it's here."

  In the middle of her palm, there was a shard of a gem that burst into blue light.

  "This..." Xiaolan blinked, which is the two extremes of the operation of hiding the face in the water tank.

"Our face is in this ice crystal," the linen shirt looked at the ice crystal in awe. "Put it in your pottery jar. Even if it is a successful reproduction, forgive me for not being able to teach you how. Use it, after all..."

  The linen shirt smiled guiltily, and Xiaolan understood what she meant.

  "The mother's matters must be communicated with each other by their mothers," the yellow skirt said instead of her sister. "You first bring the ice crystals back, and then let your mother and my sister discuss these matters."

   Xiaolan took the ice crystal and nodded.

  Finally got it.

  Xiaolan walked to the door, and the two sisters saw her off anxiously. When they got to the door, Xiaolan turned and waved at the two of them, "I must be back as soon as possible."

  The linen clothes clasped his hands and nodded.

  Yellow skirt looked behind Xiaolan, with an impatient look, "Why are you standing here? Get in the way, get out of the way!"

   Xiaolan turned her head.

  The two little girls stood upright, their backs pressed against the door, and they were staring at Xiaolan maliciously.

  Xiaolan's heart suddenly became cold.

  She quickly grabbed the ice crystal in her hand.

   "Stop it," the linen shirt smiled softly, "Hey, open the door to brother, it's getting dark."

  "Can't let him go." The two little girls stretched out their hands at the same time and pointed to Xiaolan.

  Xiaolan is already choosing an escape route.

   "What nonsense are you talking about?" The yellow skirt leaned forward, "Go away! Is it under-beaten?..."

   "He is a thief," a child said.

   "He stole something." Another kid said.

  The eyes of the linen shirt and the yellow skirt shot at the same time.

   "What are you kidding?" The yellow skirt smiled dryly, "What did he steal?"

   "Meat!" the two said at the same time.

  The surrounding atmosphere solidified for a few seconds.

   Xiaolan swallowed.

  Now it’s too late to lose the two eyeballs in the pocket.

   "He stole the best meat." A child pointed to Xiaolan's pocket.

   "It's hidden in my pocket." Another child also pointed towards him.

  The linen shirt and yellow skirt looked into Xiaolan's bulging pocket.

   "Yesterday's meat is indeed missing a part." Linen murmured.

   "Then... Then you can't suspect that he took it!" The yellow skirt said stiffly, "Did you say that yesterday, it seems that your eyes were..."

   "Shut up," the linen shirt said coldly, "you let him say."

   Xiaolan raised her hand and touched her pocket.

   "What's in your pocket?" The linen shirt's face seemed to change a little, "Take it out."

   Xiaolan slowly reached into his pocket.

  Successful evil smiles appeared on the faces of the two children.

  She touched it, her eyes felt sticky and smooth.

  All eyes are on her.

  Xiaolan took a deep breath.

  She quickly took out her hand and threw the contents in her hand to the left side of the room.

   Taking advantage of the sight of the four people moving away with the thing, Xiaolan rushed to the window on the right, and one of them turned over and jumped out.

   There was a chaotic scream behind her, Xiaolan did not look back, got up from the ground, and ran away.

  The door slammed open, and Xiaolan heard the yellow skirt screaming at the door.

  She looked up.

  The sky is turning dark.

Great.

  It's dark, these guys shouldn't be able to appear outdoors.

   right?

   Xiaolan looked back.

  The other half of her heart also cooled.

  It is true that no one is following him.

  That's because the thing behind me is hard to describe as a "person".

  Under the moonlight, a pale thing ran towards Xiaolan with its hands and feet on its hands and feet. Through the figure of that thing, it could be vaguely distinguished that it still had a trace of human characteristics.

  The moving speed of the thing was so fast that it quickly ran in front of Xiaolan and rushed over with open arms.

  A skull face is facing Xiaolan's face.

  No wonder I felt that there was a change in the face of the linen shirt just now.

  It turned out to be this.

   Xiaolan was pushed to the ground by the skeleton, and the skeleton raised his paws and grabbed Xiaolan's right hand.

  A blood stain suddenly appeared on Xiaolan's forearm, but instead, she tightened the ice crystal in her hand. Xiaolan raised her left arm and hit the skull with an elbow.

   is too hard.

   Xiaolan heard a sound of Gaba, but she was very sure that it was the sound from her own bones.

Seeing that Xiaolan didn't let go, Skeleton held Xiaolan's neck with one hand, opened his mouth, and was about to bite Xiaolan's fist.

  It intends to bite off its entire arm.

Xiaolan hurriedly blocked Skeleton’s mouth with her left hand. Skeleton’s sharp teeth cut through the skin on Xiaolan’s left arm and even embedded in her bones. Xiaolan couldn’t help but shouted, raised her legs, and kicked it hard. The body of the skeleton.

Skeleton was kicked away a bit. Xiaolan immediately turned over and tried to escape, but suddenly there was a tingling pain behind him. Skeleton’s nails got stuck in Xiaolan’s shoulder. As soon as Xiaolan got up, she weakened her legs and fell down again. This time, Skeleton’s teeth aimed at Xiaolan’s neck. Xiaolan tilted her body abruptly. Skeleton only bit her left collarbone. The fragile collarbone made a harsh cracking sound. Xiaolan’s blood and sweat melted. Together, they penetrated into the ground beneath them.

  Blood dripped into her eyes, Xiaolan raised her head strenuously. Not far away, two figures were approaching here.

  Someone is calling their name.

   is Jieyan and Baomu.

   Skeleton turned Xiaolan over, intending to grab the ice crystal in her right hand hiding under her. Xiaolan looked at the two shadows, exerted her last strength, and threw the thing in her hand hard.

  The thing drew a beautiful arc under the moonlight.

  "Brother Baomu, go on!" Although Xiaolan had already yelled hard, her voice was still very small, "That's my face!"

  It fell far behind the two.

   Skeleton immediately abandoned Xiaolan under him, and ran towards the thing with his limbs fluttering.

  Baomu and Jieyan didn't hear Xiaolan's words clearly, and the two ran to Xiaolan's side, helping her who was covered in blood.

  Xiaolan crossed Baomu's shoulder, looked a few meters away, looking for a skeleton with ice crystals on the ground.

  She smiled.

  Baomu was trembling all over, he looked at the wound on Xiaolan's body, but could not make a sound.

   "How are you?" Jieyan was also sweating profusely, "What is that?"

   Xiaolan was dying and said, "That's the guy who stole my face."

   "Your face..." Xie Yan's eyes widened and looked back at the skeleton.

   "Yes, my face," Xiaolan grabbed Baomu's hand and squeezed it hard, "This is my face, Brother Baomu, hurry up and put it on."

  Baomu opened his palm.

  The ice crystal, stained with Xiaolan's blood, just lay in the palm of Baomu's hand, glowing with blue light.

  At the same time, the skeleton picked up something from the ground. It faced the moon, looked at the eyeball, and roared angrily.

  It immediately turned around and ran towards the three of them.

   Xiaolan grabbed Bao Mu's hand and pressed his hand on the head of his duck egg.

  The dazzling blue light spread out.

  The skeleton's footsteps stopped, its pace slowed down, and its body gradually changed.

  It changed back to a human form.

  It’s just that I don’t have a face anymore.

  The linen shirt screamed and covered her face, and black smoke poured out of her fingers, she took a few steps forward, and finally fell to the ground, motionless.

  A choked cry came into the ears of the three of them.

   Xiaolan took away her and Baomu's hands.

  Eyes, nose, mouth... Baomu has his own face.

  Just...

   Xiaolan couldn't care about the pain anymore, and she had to sit up when she was struggling.

  Baomu grinned, arched his nose, his small face was wrinkled, tears and the blood and mud rubbed on his face were mixed together, and he whimpered intermittently in his mouth.

  Too ugly, too ugly.

Xiaolan couldn't sit still anymore.

  Brother Baomu, please don’t use my face like this, please?

   Xiaolan was shocked by her ugliness, and instantly felt that the pain of flesh and blood was nothing.

   "Xiaolan..." Baomu stretched out his hand and wiped his tears, causing his face to become more blurred, "It hurts, right? It's all about Brother Baomu..."

"Don't cry, don't cry," Xiaolan patted Baomu's back instead, comforted, "I... it's okay, it doesn't hurt that much, it just bleeds a little bit, don't you cry... why are you Are you crying harder?"

   Xiaolan looked at her savage face while hesitating to speak.

   "I didn't expect you to look quite cute." Xie Yan looked at Xiaolan and Baomu as he watched the excitement.

   Xiaolan glanced at him feebly, as if saying, "So you can see it?"

   "Our Xiaolan... is the most... cutest... woo woo..." Baomu cried.

"I can tell it vaguely," Xie Yan smiled, patted the dirt off his palms, and stood up, "Okay, the sky is about to dawn, we can't stay here, if the villagers find out, we will win the face. I don’t know what to do with us..."

  Baomu helped Xiaolan up.

   "Then where are we going?"

"Let's go to her house," Xiaolan pointed to the linen shirt behind him, "We took her body back, and then pretended to be her family. It happened that someone from her family was talking to me...that is, Jieyan's face. In love, Brother Baomu’s face and Jieyan’s face are still neighbors, so if the three of us appear together, no one else would say anything."

  The three of them carried the corpses in linen clothes and ran back overnight.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiaolan saw one large, two small and three dead bodies lying beside the door. Like linen clothes, the deaths of the three were very miserable. Xiaolan carried the yellow skirt back to the bedroom, thinking about this not long ago. People are still trying their best to defend themselves, but they feel a little embarrassed.

  As soon as the three of them put the dead bodies in a house, they cried, and the day dawned.

  Xiaolan found two clothes from the closet, one for himself and one for Baomu. The two changed into clothes. Xiaolan's wound was also wrapped up, and a door opened in due course.

   "Why are you here?" A man's voice came from the living room.

  Next is Xie Yan talking, "I...I will accompany..."

  Xiaolan and Baomu hurriedly ran out of the bedroom.

  A middle-aged man with a stubble face came in the living room. When the man saw the two of them, he exclaimed "Oh~" in his heart.

   "What do I want?" The man walked over, looking around.

  Baomu looked at Xiaolan blankly.

   "What do you see him doing?" The man smirked, "Why, I'm ready to hand over the things at home before living together?...Where is your sister?"

   Baomu casually pointed, "She just went out."

   "Go out? Why go out this time? Didn't I say that I will pick up the goods at this time... Oh, isn't it all done!"

  The man saw the paper man and the coffin on the side of the workshop, walked over with a grin, and reached out to fumble for the inspection on the paper man.

   "Then you all move away." Baomu said quickly.

  The man glanced at Baomu and said, “Don’t you usually make the decision by your sister? Why do you dare to make the decision by yourself now?”

   "My sister said you can take it away when you come," Baomu raised his hands outwards, "Hurry up and take it away."

   "Okay, then I'll take it away," the man said, and he carried a paper man and walked out of the door. "Two big men don't just watch, come and help."

  So the two big men, Xiaolan and Xieyan, each carried a paper figure and followed behind the man.

  There was a large trolley parked outside the yard. The man put the paper man on the right side of the trolley, swayed it, and commanded, "You two go in and move the coffin out for me."

  The two moved the coffin out again, the wound on Xiaolan's shoulder and back was still aching, and she could only work as porters with her teeth.

  The man asked the two to put the remaining paper people into the car again. He himself sat on the side of the car with a smile. When they finished the last trip, wiped sweat and prepared to go back, they were stopped.

  "You two stop!" The man glanced to the left and right, waved at them mysteriously, "Come here..."

  The two walked over obediently.

   "Tell you guys," the man leaned over the ears of the two of them and whispered, "I caught meat last night!"

   Xiaolan and Jieyan exchanged glances.

   "Congratulations." Xiaolan said perfunctorily.

"For the sake of you two helping me move things, come, I'll let you two choose first," the man hugged his arm, "say, which piece of meat do you want? I'll divide the meat later, I'll give it to you Save it in advance, you won't get good meat!"
