MTL - The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me-Chapter 76 (Awakening (Seventeen)...)
Just as she walked into Ji's yard, Ji Mingxia saw a black shadow drifting past his eyes.
He took a closer look, and saw a figure standing at the door of the living room, waving to him slowly.
The night is deep, the mountains in the distance are dark, the rice fields outside the village are dark, and the Ji family is also dark.
The villagers all seemed to rest early, and every house was extremely dark. For Ji Mingxia, the only light source in the world at this moment was the street lamp on the roadside of Jiaoye Village.
However, the street light can only illuminate the Ji family's yard at most, and cannot illuminate the Ji family's house.
Ji Mingxia clenched the mobile phone in his hand, left the mobile phone on the page where the flashlight could be turned on at any time, and then relied on memory and walked in step by step.
When Ji Mingxia walked to the threshold, the shadow had disappeared.
The hall in the house was pitch-dark, and the strange thing was that Ji Mingxia vaguely felt that the house seemed to be very "lively".
The whole Jiaoye Village is quiet.
Ji Mingxia always felt that the Jiaoye Village at night did not look like a living person at all. Because it was too quiet, he could even hear his own breathing from time to time.
However, at this moment, in the hall of Ji's house, cluttered sounds such as "knocking", "dengdengdeng..." seemed to float over.
Sometimes the sound of footsteps;
Sometimes whispers;
There are also coughing, crying and laughter, overlapping;
There is the cry of a baby, the sigh of a man and a woman, and the cough of an old man.
These voices, suddenly far and near, sometimes behind Ji Mingxia, sometimes in Ji Mingxia's ear, make Ji Mingxia feel that there seem to be countless "people" standing around him, in his house in the living room, busy.
Ji Mingxia listened carefully for a while, and when she heard the old man's coughing one after another, Ji Mingxia couldn't help but whispered: "Grandma?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence around him.
As if everyone was startled by his voice, they all stopped, turned their heads, and stared silently at his "foreigner".
Ji Mingxia got goosebumps all over her body.
He instinctively wanted to step back and leave this place that was dangerous at first sight.
But he couldn't go.
If Ji Mingxia was threatened by Zhou Tao's words before, now, he clearly heard Grandma Ji's voice, and he couldn't back down.
Ji Mingxia stood at the entrance of the living room, her brain spinning rapidly.
The layout of the first floor of Ji's house is very simple. After entering the gate, there is a small shoe changing area, and then enter the hall. The hall is in the middle, the kitchen on the left, and the guest bedroom on the first floor on the right. , and the corridor leading to the second floor.
Grandma Ji's voice just now, not far from Ji Mingxia, should have come from the hall.
The main hall is the sofa, coffee table and TV cabinet.
Beside the sofa, there is a side cabinet, which is specially used to store the beads of Grandma Ji.
Normally, when Grandma Ji is idle, she will sit by the sideboard and dish up the beads, and compare the direction of the sound. Is Grandma Ji sitting in the living room?
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia couldn't help walking towards the sofa.
Comparing with the "lively" just now, the living room was dead silent at the moment, making Ji Mingxia's footsteps extraordinarily loud.
The further you go, the lower the temperature, as if even the air becomes thinner.
The Jijia, a rural compound, has always been the most spacious and bright, both in terms of floor space and floor height, far exceeding the standard, and it was built according to the specifications of a large family in ancient times.
It's still summer vacation, he just trotted all the way home, he was panting and sweating profusely, but the yin qi that suddenly rushed in was like pulling people into an ice cellar all of a sudden .
He was wearing short sleeves and had no ability to prevent cold, his limbs were a little stiff from freezing, Ji Mingxia held the phone with a slight force, overcoming the fear of the unknown darkness in his heart, relying on instinct, finally Went to the sofa.
"Grandma?" Ji Mingxia whispered again.
On the sofa, there was a "squeak" sound, like the person sitting on it, moved his body slightly and responded to Ji Mingxia's call.
Ji Mingxia gathered up his courage and reached out to this position.
He encountered a cold body.
A strange laughter sounded beside Ji Mingxia's ear.
Ji Mingxia was startled, let go of his hand suddenly, took a step back in surprise, his face turned pale.
He just let go, the thing he touched immediately fell from the sofa to the ground, and a faint green light was emitted from nowhere, and it was faintly reflected on this thing.
Ji Mingxia took a closer look, where is his grandmother, just like the "Longevity Lord" worshipped by Zhou Tao in the small supermarket!
The eyes flashed with resentment, the skin on the face was dead white, and with the bleak green light, it looked a bit more terrifying than the dead corpse!
Ji Mingxia looked horrified, took a few steps back, turned around without hesitation, and ran towards the door.
Maybe because she was too surprised, during this period, Ji Mingxia accidentally tripped over several things!
With the sound of "dong dong dong" several things fell, Ji Mingxia brought several daily necessities on the coffee table and fell to the ground together.
Ji Mingxia shivered several times, almost looked at the statue in horror, then stretched out his hand, grabbed the things around him, and threw it towards the statue.
After throwing it away, Ji Mingxia picked up another change box, quickly got up, and rushed out the door.
The tissue box smashed into the statue and made a muffled sound.
Ji Mingxia held the coin box in his hand, and finally ran to the door, only to see that the door had been closed unknowingly.
He was startled, then turned around and rushed to the door of the kitchen. There was a small balcony next to the kitchen. The anti-theft net could be opened, leading directly to the grass in the backyard.
However, just as Ji Mingxia walked into the kitchen, she bumped into something.
It feels like a corpse, the **** statue that was still on the sofa just now ran to the kitchen again, blocking Ji Mingxia's way!
After Ji Mingxia knocked down the statue, he took a few steps back and knocked over something on the kitchen bar counter.
This time, all kinds of porcelain and glasses fell to the ground.
To faint.
The entire Ji family has now become a closed space, and Ji Mingxia is trapped in it, with a dead end in front of him and a statue behind him.
Ji Mingxia, who had nowhere to run, leaned against the dining table, as if he had lost all strength, sat down slowly, buried his head in his knees, although he could not see his expression, but His trembling body was enough to show his collapse, like a frightened ostrich waiting to die.
At this time, Zhou Tao, who had not spoken for a long time, whispered from the side: "Mingxia, Grandma Ji is still waiting for you."
Ji Mingxia shrank and turned a deaf ear.
Zhou Tao's voice came out again: "If you don't come again, she will die."
Hearing this sentence, Ji Mingxia finally reacted, his voice trembled slightly, and came out from under his arm: "Zhou Tao... We have no grievances with you, you... why do you want to Do this... Aren't we good friends who grew up together..."
"Yes, we are good friends." Zhou Tao heard Ji Mingxia's question, and suddenly sighed, "Mingxia, do you know how shocked I was when I saw you, you I will never understand how I felt at that moment. The two of us are obviously good friends, so why are our fates completely different?"
Ji Mingxia said: "You, you have cancer, but you have not recovered... What is the difference between us."
"You don't understand, you don't understand anything." Zhou Tao sneered, "This is why I found you, why, your life is so good, and mine is so bitter. Fate is so unfair, isn't it, so, for balance, you are destined to return to Banana Leaf Village at this time, destined to run into me..."
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Ji Mingxia trembled.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to promise to make a deal with me." Zhou Tao said, his voice drifted from a distance to Ji Mingxia's side, when he saw Ji Mingxia's fragile He almost couldn't wait to get close to Ji Mingxia and bewitched, "As long as you agree, I'll let your grandma go immediately, how about that?"
"What do you want me to do?" Ji Mingxia heard Zhou Tao's voice so close at hand, couldn't help but raised his head, and asked indifferently.
Zhou Tao showed a satisfied look on his face when he saw Ji Mingxia's sweat and pale face.
He was relieved and said to Ji Mingxia, "I want you to volunteer to be my soup."
"Human soup?"
"It's my nutritional supplement, a soup made from human life. My mother and I were diagnosed with cancer. Ordinary people would have died long ago, but we have a secret recipe that allows us to Absorb other people's life essence and survive." Zhou Tao explained to Ji Mingxia very patiently, "In the past few years, with the help of the villagers of Jiaoye Village, my mother and I have struggled to survive, but as time goes on, ordinary people The longevity of the longevity will gradually deteriorate, and only some people with special physique can satisfy us..."
Zhou Tao's voice was close at hand, and he was short of breath when speaking, like a hungry ghost that couldn't wait to eat: "As soon as you came back, we noticed you, you are different from everyone. Ming Xia, the two of us are about the same age next year, and we are playmates who grew up together, but why did God treat me so unfairly, and let me become the person I am now, and you..."
He said, a few hungry voices came out of his throat: "You are young, energetic, full of the power we desire, you alone can fill Satisfying me and my mother... You don't know, from the moment I saw you, I couldn't wait to want you. I want to eat you, I want to be like you..."
He said, stretched out his hand and stroked Xiang Ji Mingxia's face.
Ji Mingxia only felt that a pair of gloomy hands touched his cheek, although he tried to restrain his emotions, but when Zhou Tao's corpse-like body touched him, Ji Mingxia almost instinctively retreated a little, avoiding his touch.
Ji Mingxia's face was pale, her eyes were fixed on the dark void, and she said to Zhou Tao: "Where is my grandma? Is she still alive?"
Ji Mingxia was caught off guard and avoided, causing Zhou Tao's hand to fail.
His hand was still in the air, feeling Ji Mingxia's resistance and disgust, Zhou Tao was not only not annoyed, but even showed a strange smile on his face: "Don't be afraid, I will not put you Kill, look at the entire Banana Leaf Village. In the past few years, apart from the initial accident, when did anyone die? I just want to get your power, I will be very gentle..."
Ji Mingxia felt that he was approaching again, and gritted his teeth: "Your target is me, I need to see grandma and make sure she is safe before considering your transaction."
"No problem." Zhou Tao looked at Ji Mingxia's pitiful and helpless appearance, and agreed to his request very generously.
"Your grandma is in the middle of the stairs, you can see her when you go there." Zhou Tao said.
Ji Mingxia slowly stood up from the ground, probably because his legs were weak, he swayed before he could stand still, and because of the trembling, he knew where Grandma Ji was. He couldn't rush over immediately, but stood there for a few minutes and regained some strength before taking a step.
Zhou Tao stared at Ji Mingxia carefully, making sure that his hands and feet were weak, he had no strength, and he was struggling to walk, so he gave way and let Grandma Ji out.
Grandma Ji was sitting at the corner in the middle of the stairs. Because the room was dark, in order to prevent Ji Mingxia from being able to see it, Zhou Tao was very considerate, and let the green light that just shone on the statue, dimly illuminated On Grandma Ji's body.
Under the miserable green light, Grandma Ji sat on the stairs, eyes wide open, looking at Ji Mingxia who was walking towards her step by step.
At first, Ji Mingxia was worried that Grandma Ji was fake, but when she got closer, seeing the look on Grandma Ji's face, Ji Mingxia confirmed at once that it was true.
Grandma Ji remained awake from beginning to end. When she saw Ji Mingxia coming over, her always rigid and serious face was shaking constantly at this moment, and she looked at Ji Mingxia with anger again , again sadness.
Ji Mingxia immediately understood what Grandma Ji meant.
She was angry that Ji Mingxia knew that there was danger and ran back, and she was sad that Ji Mingxia was tortured by Zhou Tao, and finally agreed to Zhou Tao's request.
Ji Mingxia saw her grandmother sitting there. Although her face was a little worse, she was still alive and not getting old, so she felt a lot more at ease.
He twitched the corners of his mouth and tried to give Grandma Ji a reassuring smile: "It's alright."
