Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 549 The Spirit Drum

Jessie stroked the doll in her arms, her voice light and airy. “I found her.”

“I went all the way to the beach, but couldn’t find Mindy. I had a feeling Mindy was home, and she might even be waiting for me there.”

And so Jessie rushed back home. She could feel Mindy calling for her.

It was a long and grueling journey. She almost got lost. But just then…

“I heard the sound of a drum. It was a very nice sound,” Jessie said. “It was like the drum could talk, and it sounded like Mindy talking.”

Despite the fact that Mindy was mute, and had never spoken before.

Jessie just had a feeling that that was Mindy.

“Mindy was telling me to come home. She was looking for me.”

Following the sound of the drum, Jessie kept walking. Blisters began to grow on her feet, and she even lost a toenail.

At last, she saw a large crowd. They were all surrounding a drum, kneeling as they hit it.

“I could tell at once. That drum was Mindy…” Jessie said. “It was a drum, made out of Mindy’s skin.”

The sentence made Lilly and the rest tremble, a chill running down their spines!

A drum made out of human skin?!

Jessie continued. “Where I’m from, everyone’s skin is tan as wheat. Mindy was the only one with fair skin, soft and smooth…”

so sure that it was a drum made out of… human

The harem spirit could not help but ask, “How are you skin? Could it have been, uh, other skin? Like goatskin, or something”

Jessie shook her head firmly. “I’m certain! Because the drum sounded like Mindy’s voice!”

The ghosts fell silent.

Her sister was mute, but she was insisting that the drum sounded like her sister’s voice. Did this mean that the sisters’ hearts were as one?

Jessie’s eyes filled with tears once again. “I saw the men that came to my house in the crowd.”

They hugged the drum, caressing it adoringly after the crowd had left.

“I heard their secrets. They said that the spirit drum was ‘top notch, made by a ‘virgin girl who had never been in love before. That kind of drum was the purest, and it was even better that the girl was mute. A mute person could never tell a lie, and their spirit would never be tainted.”
