Chapter 669: Baby head

Chapter 669 Baby Head

Xiaolan lay on the edge of the roof, slowly breathing out.

The area of the roof space is very large, but the height is very low, and the highest place can only allow Xiaolan to bend over, so she landed on all fours and moved on the ground.

The light here is very dark. After a little bit of adaptation, Xiaolan can recognize the surrounding environment with the light beam penetrating between the roof tiles.

Most of the area is empty, except for a large area of blackness in the southwest corner.

Below , it seems to be the living room of the village chief’s house.

Xiaolan crawled over a little bit.

is like...a curtain.

Hanging curtains.

Before a thick black velvet curtain was strictly blocked in the corner, Xiaolan first sniffed it, and found no strange smell, then she stretched out her hand and moved the edge of the curtain from left to right.

Jingle Bell……

A string of faint but clear bells rang from inside the curtain.

Xiaolan was so scared that she stopped moving, only her hair stood up.

She maintained this posture until the bell stopped, and then she stretched her neck tremblingly and looked at the area covered by the black cloth along the gap she opened.

Two strings of red bells are crossed and hung on the inside of the black cloth. The bells are very small, not red all over. If you look closely, the spring in the middle of the bell is black, because I am shaking my hands, and those small iron pieces are also shaking slightly. Xiaolan grabbed the wrist of her left hand with her right hand, which made the resonance smaller.

The black cloth encloses a triangular area, and a square box lies in the middle of this area. The box is also black, with a plush surface, which is somewhat similar to the texture of this curtain.

Xiaolan reached out and grabbed the box.

The black color fell off. The original box was tightly covered with a piece of the same black cloth. When Xiaolan grabbed it, she slipped out of the box smoothly.

The box fell to the ground with a cry, Xiaolan immediately pressed it down, wondering if the boy below had heard this series of strange sounds.

When took away her hand, Xiaolan saw something familiar.

charms.

A yellow sign with red letters is posted on the box vertically, like plastic tape to seal the opening of the box.

this……

Xiaolan picked up the box and shook it lightly.

The sound of collision is heard.

There is something in it.

What about this? Do you want to tear off the spell?

Xiaolan grabbed the box and looked at it carefully. The length, width, and height of the box are slightly larger than that of a slap, and she can't tell what's inside by just listening to the sound.

And this spell...

Xiaolan took out the box, put the curtain down, and fumbled on herself.

After a while, she remembered that this body of her own was Fire Lotus.

Forget it, let’s remember.

The patterns on this spell are somewhat familiar, but they don’t resemble the strokes of the Taoist master.

Xiaolan's hand rubbed the surface of the spell for a while, and soon the answer appeared.

It's a bit like the spell they found by the well in Lianshui Village.

said that this spell is useless.

Why should I post it on this?

As soon as he thought that this thing was actually useless, Xiaolan did not hesitate to tear it off, and put the charm into his pocket.

Xiaolan looked at the box.

Open.

Oncoming is a pair of eyes.

Xiaolan was startled and almost threw the box out, but she quickly stabilized her mind and opened the lid of the box.

Fortunately, not the eyes.

is a skull.

Skull and crossbones? !

Xiaolan stared blankly at the skull placed in the box. The front of the skull faced her. The eyes she had just seen were the two dark eye sockets on the skull.

"Oh my God..." Xiaolan said unconsciously.

The head of the village hid a white Sensen skull on the roof of his house!

Xiaolan compared it with the palm of her hand. Although she has not observed the skull of a normal person, she can still be sure that this skull is definitely not the size of an adult. In fact, the head of a child may not be so small, only a newborn baby. baby……

Xiaolan returned to a chill from the bottom of her heart.

Is this a baby's skull?

Unimaginable, unintelligible.

This...is it a custom in the village?

The most important thing is, does this skull have anything to do with what you want to know?

When Xiaolan held the box and condensed her eyebrows in thought, she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from below.

boom! ……squeak--

Xiaolan shuddered.

Patter...Patter...

This is... the sound of footsteps? Is that the door opening just now?

Are these sounds so clear on the roof?

But this is not the point.

Xiaolan panted nervously, her first reaction was to hold the box and skull tightly in her arms.

Patter...Patter...

Squeak——

"Mom?" is the boy's voice.

"Hey, son," this is a woman's voice, which sounds familiar, "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, eat by yourself, your parents are all right..."

Crackling crackling crackling...

The portrait of a woman was rummaging in the living room below.

Squeak——click...click...

It should be the boy who walked out of the room.

"Mom, when did you go out?"

"After lunch, didn't my parents say hello to you?" The woman replied absently.

"Didn't you come back afterwards?"

Xiaolan suddenly became nervous.

"Silly boy, sleep in a daze..." The woman chuckled, "Don't always sleep, read a book..."

"no……"

"Okay, I found it, mother is out."

"mother!"

"Hey, son, what's the matter?" The woman's footsteps stopped at the door.

"That...Mom, have you found Ermao?"

"Oh..." The woman sighed, "Don't worry, the villagers will definitely find him."

"Will it...could it be a ghost that took him away?"

"These are all adults' business, you don't need to worry about it," the woman's voice became severe, "Be obedient, go back to the house and study quickly."

"But mom, I feel..."

"I am leaving."

"I feel at home..."

squeak-bang!

The woman left.

Xiaolan heard the boy's footsteps move to the door, he opened the door, perhaps staring at his mother's back for a while, then closed the door, and walked back, the footsteps were full of hesitation.

Xiaolan's tight muscles finally relaxed.

She took a long breath, and after confirming that the boy had returned to the room, Xiaolan held the box and slowly moved to the exit.

Now, just go down quietly and leave quietly...

One leg of Xiaolan stepped down.

Hum!

Suddenly, there was movement right in front of Xiaolan.

She held her breath, her eyes widened, and she looked at the sound.

Squeak——

On the dark ground, a white gap suddenly appeared.

opened.

There is actually another door on the roof.

A person’s head gradually emerged...
