Chapter 118: The History of Fengmen Village
I don't know if the man with the scarred face is too vigilant, or if there is really something wrong with the closed door village, he resolutely refuses to let the two of us spend the night here, and says that we should leave quickly before dark, it will not be peaceful here at night.
The more mysterious things are, the more they can arouse the interest of our two brothers.
"Big brother, I won't tell you, we have also heard some rumors in Fengmen Village, so if you want to come here to explore, you will find a place to settle down a few kilometers around, if you don't let us live here, we can only sleep in a tent at your door, you see this, five hundred yuan a day overnight fee, I will pay a deposit of five thousand yuan first, refund more and make up less, this is our brother's ID card, we are not bad people, purely interested here, you are quite bored alone, we will chat with you at night, can't we also add some fun?"
I pulled out five thousand dollars in cash from my pocket and handed it to the scarred-faced man.
He wanted to leave, but after looking at the money in my hand and looking at the two of us carefully, for some reason, I felt a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.
He took the money and opened the door of the small courtyard for us, saying that there are only two rooms here, and if we must live, we can only live in the warehouse, and the conditions are not very good.
It's all a minor problem that we can overcome.
When we came to the house where Scarface lived, there was still broth stewed in it, and a very fragrant smell greeted us, and we were really a little hungry after a long day.
There was a dirt pit in the house, and a small table, and the only household appliance was an old-fashioned television set with only three channels of CCTV on it, and it seemed that his life was very hard.
We sat down on the bed, and Scarface brought the boiled broth and beckoned the two of us to eat it together, and the broth was full of a small pot, which one person could not eat, and three people could not eat.
Later, Liu Mang went to the car to get some canned food and beer, which we had prepared before we came, and chatted with Scarface while eating.
Through communication, we know that his real name is Huang Zhong, his ancestors are from Fengmen Village, his father used to be a worker in the road maintenance team, after his father died, he took over, he is just 36 years old this year, but he looks like an old man in his sixties.
"Brother Huang, since your ancestors are from Fengmen Village, you should know some secrets in the village, tell us about the quilt, what do we like to hear stories the most?" Liu Mang asked casually.
may have received our money, Huang Zhong's attitude is much friendlier than before.
While eating the meat in the pot, he said: "In the early 80s, the state promulgated a document to move away many remote mountain villages and villagers with inconvenient transportation, Fengmen Village is just one of many villages, where the mountains are high and the roads are far away, water, transportation, and children go to school are very inconvenient, even if they move away, it is nothing, but this is the news on the bright side, and the old people who have lived in Fengmen Village know that the village is not clean and haunted!"
His tone was light, and when he heard it in our ears, he felt a little creepy, especially in the wilderness here, the birds were uninhabited, and a cold wind blew outside the window, which was really a bit terrifying.
"Brother Huang, don't tease us, what kind of society is it, the cow ghosts, snakes and gods have long been abolished, how can there be so many mysterious things, the villagers are too superstitious, right?" I asked.
When Huang Zhong heard this, he looked at us with disdain, and said: "You people in the city don't understand, in our countryside there are more mysterious things than this, see my face, it's not injured, but disfigured, I look like an old man in his sixties at a young age, don't you think it's strange, it's all because I committed a big taboo in the village and was punished." ”
The more he talked, the more mysterious it became, and Liu Mang and I became more and more interested.
It turned out that in the early eighties, because of the difficulty of drafting, many villagers went to the mountain to find a water source, and found an ancient well in a hole in the Fengmen Mountain.
The well was very quaint, with a stone dangdang suppression, with a strange pattern drawn on it, at that time the strong men in the village went, it took several days to move the stone away, in the end, the villagers took their own gunpowder, the stone dangdang exploded, only then did they see that there was water in the well.
Strange to say, the power of homemade gunpowder is also very large, and the stone dares to be blown to pieces, but the well has no traces of erosion, but is smooth and abnormal, I don't know what material it is made of.
With water, the villagers are very happy, at that time science and technology were not developed, information was backward, many people were still more superstitious, except for those strong men who opened the well, other families basically did not dare to drink the water in the well.
The terrifying thing is that a month later, all the people who participated in the bombing of the well died violently one after another, and those homemade gunpowder were provided by Huang Zhong's father, who died the worst, and Huang Zhong also drank the well water, although he did not die, but it became like this.
Later, it was rumored that the village was haunted, and the chickens and dogs were restless at night, and those who were able to move away one after another, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled also died one after another.
Within a few years, a good village became a deserted village, and the haunting of the closed door village spread on a small scale from that time.
"In the nineties, the relevant departments also organized an expedition team to the village to understand the situation, but within a few days, people died, and no one dared to go since then, it has become a deserted village, in recent years, from time to time there are adventurers like you who go in, and there is no news in nine out of ten, it seems that two years ago, five young people went, three died, two went crazy, you are the only two people who are not afraid of death recently!"
Huang Zhong said with a smile, most of the people in the pot ate it, and he didn't touch a single bite of the beer and food we brought.
"Since it's so dangerous here, why doesn't Brother Huang leave?" I asked, puzzled.
Huang Zhong sighed and said with a wry smile: "With my appearance, what can I do outside? Seeing my face, many units dare not use me, that is, the road protection work at the foot of this mountain can make me starve to death, and I can make do with it!"
Before I came, Liu Mang and I looked up a lot on the Internet, and what he said was true.
"We are the successors of communism, we have been influenced by Marxist ideology since childhood, we are not afraid of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, tomorrow I will go to Fengmen Village and catch ghosts live, hahaha!" Liu Mang drank all the beer in one gulp, saying that it was not too early, we were going to sleep.
Before leaving, Huang Zhong also instructed us not to walk around at night, especially near Fengmen Village.
Liu Mang and I swayed outside, on the left hand side is a small warehouse, which is placed with some tools for road protection, we go back to the car to get things for sleeping, by the way take the little golden monkey down, on the ground with a sleeping mat for the field can barely live.
"Second brother, do you feel that something is wrong, Huang Zhong lives alone, stewing such a big pot of broth, can he eat it? Besides, this is also a few kilometers away from the nearest village, he has bad legs and feet, how can he buy meat?" Liu Mang lay on the sleeping mat, held the little golden monkey in his arms, and muttered in a low voice.
I nodded and said, "Not only that, have you ever noticed the big black dog at the door, it's not that the dog can't bark, but it can't bark, it seems to be a dumb dog." ”
From the moment I came in, I felt that there were a lot of suspicions here, and there was definitely something wrong with this Huang Zhong.
"I don't want to, go to bed first, and the answer will naturally be revealed at night!" Liu Mang smiled, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
This guy's heart is quite big, so I spread another sleeping mat and closed my eyes quietly.
It was very quiet here, I couldn't hear any sound, and after sleeping for more than four hours, I heard a slight noise outside the door, which should be Huang Zhong's movement in and out.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, there was a creaking sound from outside the courtyard, the sound of the door opening, which ordinary people may not hear, but it definitely cannot escape our ears.
Liu Mang and I opened our eyes at the same time, flashed to the door, and looked out through the small gap.
Through the quiet moonlight, we actually saw ......
