Chapter 2554: Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!

The mist and rain are hazy, and the long alley seems to be covered with a layer of gauze, and there are wisps of light smoke. It is beautiful and quiet, like a painting.

It was dusk now, and it was time to go home. From time to time, there were figures coming and going in the alley, greeting each other familiarly, and talking about some shortcomings of the Zhang family and the Li family, giving people a light feeling of warmth. .

And right at the entrance of the alley, a young and slender figure stood at some point, holding an oil-paper umbrella.

The drizzle of raindrops slowly dripped along the edge of the paper umbrella, and after falling on the ground, small raindrops gradually appeared. The evening breeze blew, not cold, but with a hint of coolness, stirring the Tao's slender figure's clothes.

A fair and slender hand gently held the oil-paper umbrella. Under the umbrella, there was a fair and handsome face. He was very young and as gentle as jade. There was a strong scholarly atmosphere all over his body. Plus, his other hand The few books he held in his hands proved that this young man was a scholar.

However, at this moment, he looked at the alley in front of him, and there was clearly a joy in his heart that he was about to go home, and he was about to see his wife's happiness and warmth, but for some reason, he stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Because this alley he had walked home thousands of times, for some reason, he felt a little strange today.

It was as if there was another voice in his mind calling him, asking him to wake up. When he woke up, it seemed that there was another period of life and memories running through him.

"I must have been studying for too long last night and didn't go to bed until the middle of the night, so I'm a little dazed today. The children in class even laughed at me, which made me think wildly."

He shook his head slightly and laughed. He felt that he must have not had a good rest last night, and because he was already powerless, he suddenly had random thoughts after being tired.

"Go home, my wife must still be waiting for me to eat..."

When he thought of his wife, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Immediately, the oil-paper umbrella fluttered, and he took gentle steps, accompanied by the rain, and walked into the alley, and his home was at the end of the alley.

"Hey! Mr. Ye is back from class? My kid didn't cause any trouble for you today, did he?"

"Xianggong Ye, how does my baby recognize the Three-Character Classic?"

"Come, Xianggong Ye, the old hens at home have laid eggs and boiled some. You can take some back and eat them with Madam Ye!"

"Mr. Ye..."

When he, Xianggong Ye, walked into the alley, the neighbors who were chatting and joking all showed respect and greeted Xianggong Ye with great enthusiasm.

"Thank you all. We are all neighbors. There is no need to be so polite. I appreciate everyone's kindness."

Mr. Ye smiled warmly, politely and kindly, and walked forward slowly holding an oil-paper umbrella.

On both sides of the alley, there are rows of old houses with blue tiles, quiet and simple in the hazy mist and rain. Raindrops dripped from the eaves, and Ye Xianggong's figure passed through them, walking farther and farther.

"Look at Mr. Ye! Scholars are different! He is just a little thinner and will fall over when the wind blows. He is not strong."

"What do you know? Mr. Ye is a real scholar, and he is very knowledgeable. It is said that he will take the provincial examination after autumn. Once he is in high school, he will be the master of civil examination! Otherwise, how could the county master hire Xianggong Ye in the west of the city? What about teaching in the school?”

"Oh, look at my son. If he follows his father, he will be a butcher of pigs for the rest of his life!"

"Xianggong Ye and Lady Ye are really in love. Xianggong Ye is a scholar, and Lady Ye is extremely beautiful and clever. When do you think my son will marry such a beautiful aunt?"

"Stop talking! It's getting dark soon. It is said that unclean things have been causing trouble in the county recently. It's better to go home and close the door quickly!"

"That's the truth!"

…

Amid the discussions among the neighbors, Xianggong Ye had walked further and further until he came to the end of the alley, and then turned a corner.

The next moment, he saw an old house with green tiles appearing in front of him. The door was ajar, and many crisp vines protruded from the corners of the surrounding walls. They were densely packed and covered the outer wall. They were green and green, and they were ivy.

"This year's ivy is growing exceptionally well! Thanks to my wife's hard work in cultivating it."

Xianggong Ye stood in front of the door, looking at the ivy on the wall. The warm smile on his lips became stronger, and he was about to push the door open and enter.

However, looking at the door of his home, Xianggong Ye didn't know why, but he felt a sense of trance again in his mind, and there was a sense of danger in his heart that he had never felt before for no reason!

It seems as if there is something terrible watching me in the dark, full of greed and madness!

"It's really strange. Why are you always so distracted today? It seems like you can never stay up late reading in the future..."

Xianggong Ye shook his head and showed a wry smile.

Crunch!

Without hesitation, he opened his door and walked in slowly.

What came face to face was a small yard, but for some reason, this yard was very dirty. The corners were full of garbage, and the ground was covered with thick dust, which was in stark contrast to the green ivy. contrast.

Ye Xianggong, who had never felt anything before, looked at the dirty little yard and frowned slightly for some reason!

"Ms. sir..."

Suddenly, a soft and happy call came from the front, instantly putting a warm smile on Xianggong Ye's face.

"Madam, I'm back!"

At the end of the small courtyard, at the door of the inner room, a very beautiful woman appeared at some point!

Her facial features were extremely beautiful, even a little bit coquettish, and there was a faint vertical red line at the center of her eyebrows, as if it was painted on.

"Husband, wash your hands and eat, the food is ready."

Madam Ye took the oil-paper umbrella and book from Mr. Ye's hand with a smile, welcomed him in, and then gently closed the door with a pair of bare hands.

After that, it was eating, washing, and being warm as usual.

Night fell quickly.

There was a sound of pattering rain outside, and a candle had already been lit in front of the window of the house, casting a dim light.

Mr. Ye sat in front of the shabby desk, reading by lamplight as usual.

The provincial examination was coming in less than a month, and Mr. Ye had to work hard.

And Madam Ye had already finished washing and seemed to fall asleep first when she got on the bed.

Crackling!

The burning sound of the candle kept ringing, so loud in the middle of the night, but it burned very vigorously, illuminating the desk!

I don’t know how long it has been, Mr. Ye, who has been concentrating, yawned, and it seems that his shoulders are sore because he has been motionless.

He gently put down the book, rubbed his sore eyes, and patted his shoulders.

"I accidentally saw the third watch again. Forget it, I’d better rest early today, otherwise I will be dazed again tomorrow."

As if thinking of the daze during the day and dusk, Mr. Ye shook his head and stood up, ready to blow out the candle and go to bed.

But at this moment!

"No! Don’t! Husband! Husband, help quickly..."

From the bed opposite the desk, Mrs. Ye’s cry for help full of fear and terror suddenly came, and Mr. Ye’s face suddenly changed!

"Madam! What’s wrong with you?"

Mr. Ye rushed to the bed and opened the mosquito net with a whoosh!

"Ah!!!"

The next moment, Mr. Ye's face turned pale, and he sat on the ground with fear, trembling all over, sweating profusely!

"A man does not speak of strange things! A man does not speak of strange things..."

Mr. Ye kept repeating this sentence!

On the bed, there was no Madam Ye, but only a bloody skeleton, staring at him, and even dripping blood, which had already dyed the whole bed red!

"Madam... Madam..."

Mr. Ye was frightened, but he still struggled to stand up!

Swoosh!

But suddenly, the candle on the desk that had been burning brightly went out!

The whole room suddenly fell into darkness!

This moment frightened Mr. Ye again, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks again!

"Hehehehe..."

At the same time, a strange and eerie laugh with unintentional horror suddenly sounded, shaking the room!

"Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!"

"So hungry! I'm so hungry! One is not enough! One is not enough! And you! Let me...eat you! Eat you! Okay? Okay!!"

Swish!

A black shadow rushed towards Mr. Ye, who was trembling with fear while sitting on the ground, like lightning!
