Chapter 133: The Dead Town of Broken Flowers 73 [Meeting Zhu Niannian]
The yard was filled with blood-red silk satins, swaying gently in the breeze like flowing blood.
Weeds grew in the cracks between the bluestone slabs in the yard, giving off a sense of desolation.
In the corner stood a few dilapidated large vats, their bodies covered with cracks and moss.
In the hall, the two armchairs looked particularly out of place.
The armrests and backrest of the chair are carved with intricate patterns that have become blurred due to erosion by time.
There were some broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground, which should have been utensils in the past.
There are several calligraphy and paintings on the wall. The paper is yellowed and the edges are broken. The ink on the paintings has spread, making it difficult to discern the original content.
There is a small flower bed inside. The flowers that were once planted there have long since withered, leaving only dry branches.
The red paint on the pillars of the adjacent corridor had peeled off, revealing the rotten wood inside.
The doors and windows of several side rooms were half-closed, the window paper was torn, and a creaking sound was made when the wind blew.
The entire courtyard was filled with the smell of death and decay, which made people shudder.
Nanyu stood there, murmuring "Sweetheart? The key to my heart" over and over again.
His brows were furrowed, and his deep eyes were full of thought as he tried to decipher the deep meaning behind these words.
Just as he was lost in thought, a strong wind suddenly blew into the already gloomy courtyard.
A cold wind whistled past, like countless vengeful spirits howling, causing the blood-red silk hanging in the courtyard to dance wildly, like a savage blood demon.
In the dark sky, a dazzling flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire courtyard in a pale white.
Immediately afterwards, raindrops as big as beans fell, hitting the bluestone slabs on the ground, splashing water.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The creepy sound of the head hitting the coffin once again broke the silence in the noisy atmosphere.
This familiar yet terrifying voice made everyone's heart shrink suddenly.
Li Mingjie's eyes widened, his face full of fear and confusion, and he said doubtfully:
"Oh my god, there's a coffin here too? Damn, could it be that the red coffin we met at the beginning has returned?"
Nanyu raised his head slightly, listened to the voice, and thought rapidly in his mind.
He felt that what Li Mingjie said made sense, but based on his intuition and experience, he was more inclined to come to the Siheyuan, as other mysterious things had also occurred here.
He concentrated his attention and carefully identified the source of the sound, and found that the strange sound came from a remote utility room in the courtyard.
Li Mingjie swallowed his saliva and said calmly:
"Come on, let's go take a look together. There's strength in numbers. Even if the thing inside comes out, it may not be able to defeat us all."
His voice was trembling slightly, but he still tried to muster up the courage.
Nanyu nodded slightly, he knew he had to go and find out what was going on.
Indeed, even if there are unknown dangers, there is the powerful Zhu Sisi behind them.
Everyone was nervous and moved closer to the woodshed where the sound came from.
Soon, he stood in front of the woodshed.
Nan Yu kicked the door open without hesitation, and the red coffin that he had seen once before appeared before his eyes.
At this moment, the coffin lid was shaking violently, and the scratching sound of sharp nails mixed with the ever-increasing knocking sounds made people's scalps numb.
Li Mingjie asked nervously:
"How's it going? Are we going to build it?"
Nanyu shook his head decisively and said:
"Don't cover it anymore. Let her out." He was certain that the person in the coffin was Zhu Niannian.
As the scratching and knocking sounds became more intense, suddenly, the coffin was thrown open.
A young girl in a wedding dress appeared before everyone. Her mouth was sewn shut with rough silk thread, and her eyes were filled with blood and tears. She looked extremely miserable.
Blood began to seep out of the ground continuously, and blood beads covered the entire woodshed. The thick blood almost submerged the soles of everyone's shoes, as if they were in hell.
Even though the girl looks so scary now, you can still tell that she has an excellent foundation.
She has a face that is 80% similar to Zhu Sisi's, and is breathtakingly beautiful.
Her legs were nailed to the coffin, and her nails were scratched to a bloody mess.
Everyone looked at Zhu Niannian in front of them, their hearts filled with shock and sympathy.
When Zhu Niannian in the coffin saw Zhu Sisi standing next to her, her pupils couldn't help but dilate slightly, and her mouth, which was tied with wire, seemed to open and close, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
But when she saw the seven people standing besides Zhu Sisi, there was only endless evil thoughts in her pupils.
More and more blood beads gathered on the ground, and were about to completely soak everyone's shoes.
At this time, Nanyu spoke:
"You are Zhu Niannian, right?"
Zhu Niannian was stunned when she heard Nanyu's voice. She seemed to be lost in some memories of the name "Zhu Niannian".
Nan Yu continued, "We are here to rescue you, don't worry."
Because worrying at this moment really won't help.
Everyone looked at Zhu Niannian, feeling both pity and vigilance.
"Why should I believe you?" Although Zhu Niannian's mouth did not move, the voice came out muffled from her abdomen.
"I've been in this coffin for hundreds of years, and no one has ever come to save me. Why do you think you can really save me?"
Her words were full of doubt and vicissitudes.
Then she asked, "Is my sister real?"
When she talked about her sister, her voice trembled unconsciously.
"Niannian, I'm your sister." Zhu Sisi said in a hoarse voice.
This shout stunned Zhu Niannian, who was sitting in the coffin.
She was absolutely sure that the person standing in front of her was her sister, but why did her sister's voice become like this?
"Zhu Niannian, do you want to come out of the coffin?" Nanyu said with one hand hugging his arm.
"I guess you can't actually get out of the coffin, otherwise you would have been out when the coffin started flying. It's because there is something in the coffin that prevents you from getting out, right?"
Nanyu crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows before speaking.
Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between Zhu Niannian and Nanyu, and a tense atmosphere filled the small woodshed.
"What exactly do you want to say!" Zhu Niannian's voice still came from her abdomen.
"It's very simple. I need to find the key to open the door of my heart and leave here, and you and your sister need to remove the restrictions of the locust tree in the town and completely restore your freedom." Nanyu said this very calmly.
"What?! You also want the key to my heart?" Zhu Niannian looked Nanyu up and down, then said with a hint of disdain:
"You should know Xue Yao, right? He is the door to the heart, and I am not his key at all. I don't know where the real key is, but I know where his body is."
"But it's impossible for you few to find Xue Yao's body."
Zhu Niannian's words were full of confidence and contempt.
Nanyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
