Chapter 32: The Corpse Ground
Master Fang's hand nodded to the sedan chair and motioned for us to follow.
He walked in front, barely making a sound. I followed him closely, tiptoeing forward almost on his footprints, for fear of making a noise.
The red sedan chair floated far ahead, and the unknown opera made the moonlit night even more weird.
After more than ten minutes, the sedan chair disappeared directly in front of him, and the sound disappeared.
The whole forest was eerily quiet, not even the sound of insects.
The surroundings are very cold, and the cold is abnormal.
"When you arrived, it's around here, do you remember the way you came?" Master Fang turned around and asked me.
When I came, I stepped on his footprints and didn't remember the way at all.
"Forget it, go back, I'll come with you tomorrow during the day. After speaking, he turned around and walked back, telling me to remember the road this time.
"Just go back and don't go and see?" I asked, confused.
He stopped again, and I almost bumped into it again.
"Are you sure that there are hundreds of ghosts on the other side?"
"Nope. I replied honestly.
"You don't, I don't either, and I don't even take you. I can't argue with that.
It might be a burden for him to carry me. It also made me realize how important it is to improve my abilities. No matter how strong Master Fang is, he is also an outsider. Since my grandfather died, the only thing I can rely on is myself.
On the way back, I didn't speak again, but tried my best to remember the way.
By the time we got to the camp, it was already late at night.
The cold moonlight covered the entire mountain with a thin veil, and it looked very quiet.
Back in the tent, Zhang Ying was still lying.
After Master Fang finished arranging, she might have to lie down for a few more days, at least until the matter was resolved before she could wake up. It's okay to lie down, I don't have to think of countermeasures to tell her about Jiu Po and Lao Zhang.
But Yingying woke up.
When I entered the tent, I saw her wrapped in a quilt on the bed, and the tears on her little face had not yet dried.
"Big brother, is my mother-in-law dead?" Before I could speak, she asked directly.
The glutinous voice made my heart soften instantly, and I gently hugged her in my arms: "Yingying, don't worry, my mother-in-law is gone, the big brother will accompany you in the future, and the big brother won't want you, okay." ”
"Good ......" with a crying voice, as if a heavy punch hit my heart.
At this moment, I secretly vowed that no matter what difficulties I encountered in the future, I would raise her as an adult.
Soon, Yingying fell asleep in my arms.
After gently putting her under the covers, I also lay on the bed, but I couldn't sleep at all.
The moonlight outside shone through the cracks in the tent, which made my mind clearer.
Reminiscing about what happened these days is like a dream, and there is no sense of reality at all. The matter of the ninth woman, the matter of Lao Zhang, the matter of the ninth master and those students, and the matter of Huangshan Village...... All sorts of things were mixed up and I was exhausted.
Of course, there is Master Fang, I am still full of gratitude to him, after all, he saved my life.
The sound of the machine outside roared again, and it rang all night.
I closed my eyes when it started to light up outside.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by Yingying, I don't know when, Yingying was already very familiar with Master Fang. From Master Fang's doting eyes, it can be seen that he loves this poor little girl very much.
"Zheng Fan, when you finish eating, take her with you. Master Fang pointed at Yingying.
This frightened me, and Master Fang said that the place where we went over was the place where we went to raise corpses last night.
It was a very dangerous place, and neither of us had the confidence to walk away in the past, but now we want to take Yingying with us.
"Uncle Fang, it's inconvenient for Yingying to go. I politely declined.
"Don't worry, it's safest for her to go. And it's daytime, nothing will happen. Even if there is anything, I promise to bring her out. "What Master Fang said was categorical, and Yingying's side was also eager to try, so I could only agree.
Seeing me nodding, Yingying happily high-fived Master Fang.
After dinner, the two of us set off with Yingying.
At night, I followed behind Master Fang, only caring about stepping on his footprints and marking the way, and did not observe the surrounding environment at all.
This time, I walked in front to lead the way, only to realize that the road in the mountains is very difficult to walk.
Yingying's side was held by Master Fang almost the whole time.
It took about two hours to reach the place where I had stopped last night.
When I saw this place, I exploded again.
Because I have seen this place, it is in Zheng Ling's mobile phone. Especially the collapsed crooked neck tree in front of me, in the photo on Zheng Ling's mobile phone, Zhang Ying and Zheng Ling are standing under the crooked neck tree, and the three classmates are sitting on my neck tree.
The shadow of the selfie stick happened to pass over the three classmates.
"Where are you going now?" I resisted the uneasiness in my heart, turned to Master Fang and asked.
Master Fang didn't answer me, but asked Yingying in his arms, "Yingying, where do you say you're going?"
Yingying looked at me with wide eyes, then at Master Fang, raised her hand and pointed casually: "Go over there." ”
Master Fang didn't say a word, picked up Yingying and walked in that direction.
I followed suit.
After walking for about ten minutes, after crossing the ridge, there was a ravine with flowing water.
The ravine was not large, but it was eerie, and there was a smell of decay.
I just wanted to step forward, but I was dragged back by Master Fang: "You don't want to live anymore?"
Without explaining to me, Master Fang took Yingying into my arms, took out the two-foot-long black stick, and gently stirred it into the mud near the ditch a few times.
There was a disgusting rancid smell from inside, and I quickly took a few steps back with Yingying in my arms.
This is not the end, after Master Fang stirred it a few times, a few white bones surfaced inside, and there were some animal corpses, some of which had just been half decomposed, and it seemed that they had died here recently.
"This is the real place to raise corpses. Master Fang withdrew his stick, turned to me and said.
"So what now?"
"Wait for the evening. ”
The answer was unexpected.
When he came last night, he withdrew without even thinking about it, and said that he had taken me with him.
Today is not only with me, but also with Yingying, a smaller burden, and it will be more unsafe in the evening.
I don't want Yingying to be in this kind of danger as well.
"If you want to save those two girls, you have to rely on her. You can leave if you want, unless you don't want to save someone. Master Fang's words immediately calmed me down.
