Chapter 257: Ghosts

pillows that Niu Er had drummed out, but upon closer inspection, this jade pillow did not have any talismanic markings and was naturally not some kind of malicious object that could harm people invisi..."Ah!" Tong Lei screamed in fright, shrinking her head and refusing to look inside the house. 。Then, as if in shock, Xiang Tian froze for a moment. Right after that, the front door of the house creaked open slowly, the sound grating and jarring, sending shivers down your spine. 。But when he looked down, he smiled. It wasn't that there was no one there, it was just that they hadn't seen him yet. 。Right next to the wooden door, a dwarf who was definitely no taller than a meter stood staring at them in astonishment. 。This person has short limbs and an unusually large head. He looks to be about forty or fifty years old, with a full beard. 。Hao Zhanbing also saw this dwarf and explained to him that he was a police officer who came into the mountains to look for someone, hoping to stay here for one night. 。To my surprise, the dwarf gesticulated for a long time but it turned out he was deaf and mute. 。However, he seemed to know what they were there for. After turning on the lights in the house, he opened his arms and invited them inside. 。The furnishings inside were very simple and the space wasn't large. When over twenty people came in, it immediately became crowded. 。The mute man opened the light in the left room. There was a bed inside, and some chopped firewood stacked in the corner. He gestured for Xiangtian and the others to rest there for a while. 。Hao Zhanbing felt a little embarrassed. He had entered someone's house, so he couldn't even take their bed, could he 。The mute pointed to the back, seeing that they didn't understand, he simply led them to a small room at the back. It turned out there was another small bed in this room, and the mute indicated that this was where he slept. 。Tian understood, this house should be the temporary residence of the forest ranger, but the rangers were not here at the moment, only a mute who stayed here long-term to look after the house was there. 。He put Tong Lei on the bed in the front room, searched around, and finally found a pair of cloth shoes, they should belong to that dwarf mute, the size just fit Tong Lei. 。However, Tong Lei was a bit disgusted, feeling it was dirty, and crossed her legs sitting on the bed refusing to wear it. 。After a while, the mute man busied himself in the back kitchen, boiling a large pot of hot water and bringing it out. He also took out a few porcelain bowls, motioning for them to drink. 。Hao Zhanbing felt guilty and took out some money to shove it at the mute, but the mute refused. After much pushing back, he pointed at the military dagger on Hao Zhanbing's waist and gestured towards it. 。"Do you want this" Hao Zhanbing took the military spear and handed it over, smiling. "Then I'll give it to you." 。The mute was overjoyed to get the dagger, just like a child who had received a new and interesting toy. 。After drinking water, the group walked for half a day along the mountain path and were all tired. They just collapsed against the wall in the room, falling asleep here and there. 。Because Tong Lei was lying in bed, those special police officers were embarrassed to enter the left side of the room, so there were only Xiangtian and Tong Lei in the room. 。To avoid suspicion, Xiang Tian didn't get into bed. Instead, he moved several pieces of split firewood onto the floor and lay down comfortably. 。 Not long after, snores started coming from outside. Raising her head to the sky, Tong Lei lay curled up in bed, motionless, as if she had fallen asleep too. 。He gradually closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. 。He had a dream, in which he saw Zhang Xin. This girl smiled and ran into his arms, hugging him tightly, asking him why he hadn't come to see her for so long. 。He hugged her tightly, kissing her non-stop and telling her he had always missed her and dreamed of her. 。But suddenly, Xiaojiao's face changed. She pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and questioned him if he had changed his heart. Before he could answer, she held the dagger and plunged it fiercely into Xiangtian's chest. 。The dagger seemed to have plunged into Xiang Tian's heart, the intense pain jolted him awake. He sat up abruptly, touching his forehead only to find it drenched in cold sweat. 。He panted heavily, his heart still pounding from the fright. As he looked back at Tong Lei on the bed, she remained in the same position as before, curled up tightly into a ball. 。

I touched my chest again, it was fine and there wasn't anything like a dagger.

However, he unexpectedly touched something else. When he picked it up, it turned out to be a white stone. 。The moment I picked it up, the stone crumbled into gravel and fell to the ground. 。How could there be stones on my body I was shocked and terrified. 。

Listening more carefully, the outside was deathly silent. The previous thunderous snoring had vanished without a trace, as if someone were speaking in hushed tones, and this voice was completely unfamiliar to him

"There are two more in the house, drag that man to the back too, leave the woman." 。Then, footsteps came, and Tian quickly lay down again, squinting to watch the movements at the door. 。A person came in from outside, looking up to the sky in astonishment. The man turned out to be exactly Xie Hongwei they were looking for. 。Xie Hongwei walked up to Xiang Tian's side, sneered twice, and reached out his hand to grab his arm. 。Toward suddenly grabbed his arm, flipped up, and before Xie Hongwei could even cry out, struck him on the neck with a palm blade. 。Xie Hongwei looked up in surprise, then collapsed softly, kicking a foot against the wood and making a series of sounds. 。"Trash, can't even drag a person properly!" The voice from outside came again, and then the man walked towards the room. 。Tian hid behind the door, only to see that dwarf mute appear in the doorway. He was furious, his eyes narrowed, and he held in his hand the military dagger that Hao Zhanbing had given him. 。Toward him, Tian Shan launched a bolt of lightning. 。Unknown to them, the dwarf was incredibly agile and perceptive. He swiftly retreated, with a flick of his wrist, his dagger slashed towards Xiangtian's arm. 。Tianzhi only had time to shrink his arms back before the man darted out again. As soon as he went after him, a shadow flashed and the mute had already disappeared through the front door. He was as fast as lightning, and outside there wasn't a single soul—not even Hao Zhanbing and the SWAT team members—they all vanished without a trace. 。He was astonished and quickly chased after him outside. 。Outside, a mass of darkness. There was no sign of the dwarf anywhere. 。After hesitating for a moment at the door, he went back into the house and walked over to Tong Lei's side. He took a closer look and sure enough, found a white stone beside her, very similar to the one Zhang Wei had shown him. 。It seems that everything is the work of that dwarf. 。Toward Heaven was extremely annoyed. He had just now failed to see through that fellow's ruse. 。He held Tong Lei's hand and slowly input his true dragon energy into her body. He quickly discovered that the yin energy in her body had decreased by at least 20%. 。Quickly, he used the true dragon's spiritual energy to help Tong Lei replenish the yin qi that was lacking in her body. After a while, the girl woke up leisurely. 。After waking up, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "Is it morning already""It's not morning yet, but Bureau Hao and the others are gone." 。“

Tong Lei was startled and exclaimed in fear, "Is there a ghost I've always felt that this house wasn't clean. They must have been taken away by a ghost!"

She hugged Xiangtian's arm, trembling with fright>>> 。ear. I just arrived in Hainan not long ago. I came here to work, but someone tricked me out of all my money. That's how I ended up being introduced to Yongge.'" 。After hearing about my situation, Yon...
