ually snatched it away!"I shook my head. "Xi Linzhou, let's be reasonable. This fox head belongs to someone. If it were a skull without an owner, you could take it, but I wouldn't have given you that...He, what's wrong with him!

How does it look so scary Are you sick

"Not this way! There's no road here! You need to go into the old woods!" I shouted at him.

His Adam's apple bobbed suddenly, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood that flowed down his chin, dripping sticky onto his chest.

"Oh!" I yelped, stumbling back and hitting the handrail on the bus door.

He was already lean, but now his eyes were bloodshot and bulging, he was vomiting blood, and his movements were stiff. In the glare of the car headlights, he looked like a zombie!

Wasn't everything okay before!

I didn't have time to think. What if he really drove the car into the old woods What if we got stuck on all sides, unable to move What if he turned against me

I jumped into the driver's seat beside him and shoved him toward the window with my backpack, fighting for the steering wheel.

His hands clutched like withered claws. I punched his fist several times before managing to pry open one of his hands.

I gripped the steering wheel and slammed it all the way, the car swerving in a sharp U-turn in front of the forest. We were escaping danger, but then the driver suddenly went mad, jumping up and slamming his whole body onto the steering wheel—

"This is it... right here... this is the way..." With every word, blood would trickle from the corner of his mouth.

I was so startled that I loosened my grip. In the blink of an eye, the car careened down the slope—

When the car was rolling over, I was thrown out of the passenger window. At the bottom of the slope, there was a shallow section of river. The last thing I saw was the car rolling and flipping into the river.

At that moment, I seemed to hear a cry ripping through the night sky, but it was just a fleeting instant before I was jolted unconscious by the icy river water, my head spinning.

I don't know how long I was unconscious. When I woke up, I was sleeping on the riverbank.

Beneath me was soft grass, and beside me stood a tree that shaded the light. The sky had begun to lighten.

Have I been asleep this long

A majestic hawk stood on a branch, its eyes fixed on me. As soon as I got up, it let out a screech.

Hearing an eagle's cry up close is truly awe-inspiring.

Who saved me Mu Wanchen

I turned around and looked around, but there was no sign of him.

There's an eagle guarding me here, no one else should be around. Mu Wanchen probably just came to rescue me and left.

I touched my forehead, feeling a fever. My clothes were also damp, clearly having been pulled from the water.

He said that separation was better, to save me from harboring resentment and raising the venomous gu in my heart, lest I raise something terrible.

So he's been a ghost, even if he came to save me, he wouldn't want to appear in front of me again

This guy... he's more decisive than I thought.

I trembled and clutched the trunk of the tree to get up, preparing to climb to the roadside and wait for passing vehicles.

Halfway up, I saw a dark object on the ground.

What is it

I took a few steps closer, and my scalp went numb with fright.

It's a black corpse! And, and it's also missing its limbs!

This is… that driver!

Could it be Mu Wanchen who did this My heart pounded in my chest. Did he kill someone

I looked around. This driver seemed to have crawled out of the river. There were disfigured, jet-black thighs and arms scattered below him.

"

‘Mmm…’

"

With a soft sound, a large bulge suddenly appeared on the black trunk.

I took several steps back, watching as the black lump swelled and then suddenly burst.

The countless tiny black insects burst out. It turned out that it wasn't burned, but covered layer by layer by black insects. From afar, it looked like a charred corpse.

The body was gnawed beyond recognition, were the limbs also bitten off by insects

I stumbled back, dizzy and disoriented. The hawk suddenly flew to my shoulder and let out a shrill "Hooo" at the cluster of insects.

The insects immediately retreated like a tide, leaving behind only a broken body.

Oh my god… What have I done to deserve this This trip out has been so unlucky!

The hawk stood on my shoulder and patted its wings, the large wings whooshing right over my head, as if hitting me.

It had me a mess, hair standing on end. I could only cover my head and beg, "Don't hit me, don't hit me... You're so scary!"

This animal really has a spirit, it turned its head towards the road and called out.

It seems like they're urging me to leave…

I struggled my way up, the eagle circling overhead the whole time. It only let out a loud cry and soared high into the sky when I came across a private car.

"Wow, girl! You're taking quite the risk coming here alone to help with the disaster! A delicate beauty like you shouldn't be out in this mess!" The driver was a middle-aged man, very talkative.

"Huh" I can't go out yet.

"A young girl like you should be kept indoors, away from causing men to go mad and women to be jealous, thus adding discord to society!"

My elder brother speaks like a tongue twister, I didn't dare to speak.

He kept talking, urging me on, until we reached a highway rest stop at the border of the two provinces.

Two young men were standing by the roadside in the rest area. I saw them at once, and I was so excited that I almost cried.

"Driver, driver! Please pull over! Pull over!"le handbag and zipped it up excitedly.Unlike Gu Yi's cheerful and lively nature, You Nan quietly tugged on my sleeve with her backpack on and whispered, "Mother, is Great-Great-Grandfather sick"This c...
