Scar stared at the table, thinking about it for half a minute, sighed but didn't speak, Yang Shitian looked at Scar's expression hesitantly, and thought that people didn't want to say it, and he couldn't deliberately force it, so he wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but before the words came out, Scar said.

"Big brother, I've been pressing this matter to the bottom of my heart, and I haven't told anyone, I think even if I say it, others won't necessarily believe it!" Scar said.

Yang Shitian was silent and did not interrupt!

Scar didn't raise his head when he spoke, and explained to Yang Shitian how the scar on his face came about, including a strange thing that happened in the mud village that night!

Scar's original name Yu Hengfei is a native of Gaoming County, one year younger than Yang Shitian, and his second son stammered in the same village as the same age, they all grew up wearing open crotch pants together, the three of them did robbers and had to start from Scar's love frustration and his father fell to his death, Scar's previous family background was okay with a tractor at home, specifically to help people in the village to pull mud to earn freight, and he could also earn a lot of money in addition to oil money in a month, Scar's father saw that his son was not small, and the family conditions were not bad, so he found a matchmaker to go to the Xu family to propose marriage, and the other party was naturally full of promises, and the two old people gathered to discuss the next day, so they chose the day as well as hit the day, and held a wedding in March 16。

Scar is as he wished to marry the village flower Xiaocui, but he stammered, the latter gift money was prepared for several years to wait for that day, but Scar has a money-making machine in the family and stammered that the family is poor, but the sky has an unpredictable good time Scar has just been married for less than a month, but the father has been checked from the hospital to suffer, Alzheimer's disease, myocardial infarction and other diseases, but Scar is a big filial son, even if the family is bankrupt, he has to cure his father's disease, less than a year The family money naturally spent a seven-seven-eighty-eight, the tractor was sold and sold, but in exchange for the bad news that the father died in the hospital and fell from the building, the family was once again destitute, and Cuihua turned into a red apricot to marry someone else after a short time, the back of his father's deceased wife, Scar began to complain about the world from the bottom of his heart, firmly believing that good people are not rewarded, and decided not to be an upright person in the future, so he began to do such things as robbers in the first eighteen.

On the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2018, it was the middle of the night!

According to Scar's recollection, the moon that night was surprisingly bright and big and round, like an eye watching them from the clear night sky, the boundary of the mud village is not large, there are only a dozen households in the village, there is only one road out of the village and into the village, the village is surrounded by a mountain range, there is a gap from the south is the only road into the village, and at this time, the three of Scar, just finished grabbing an ox cart pulling chickens, are hurrying home.

"Hey, how about today's ticket?" Scar said as he walked.

"It's okay!" Erleng replied with a smile.

The stammering did not speak, from time to time with a smile and a glance at the old hen in his hand, the three of them thought that they were not in a hurry when they first debuted, and they should do something to rob chickens and dogs first, after all, the start must be steady!

"Damn, it just so happens that my wife is pregnant with a little rabbit cub for me, and tomorrow I will stew a chicken soup for her to replenish her body!" Erlen'er smiled.

Scar heard that he was chilled for a while, he was married in front of Erleng'er, but only a year later, he became so depressed, seeing the dirt road in the middle of the village, the three of them stood still, the earthen foundation houses of each family were built on both sides of the dirt road, like a small street, because today is the Ghost Day July and a half, so there are large and small paper money ash piles burned next to the dirt road, as well as incense candles used to sacrifice the dead.

"Shhhh Fly... Brother Fei, I'll go back first, this Halloween is shaking my thighs, remember to call me next time you have an event!" stammered and looked timid, looked around and said with one hand on his shoulder.

Scar looked mocking, "Okay, hurry back, are you still afraid that your mother will come back to you?"

Stammering and silent, looking around and moving forward, Erleng said goodbye to Scar, and walked from the west with the old hen in hand.

After Erlen'er stammered away, for a while only Scar was left in the middle of the dirt road, the bright moonlight sprinkled on Scar's body, pulling the shadow very long, the clear night sky was only a full moon, but not a star or a cloud could be seen, the breeze gently brought up the unburned paper money on the ground, Scar shook his head and sighed when he saw this, and his eyes were full of sadness.

"Hey dad, it's my son who is not filial, I grabbed a few chickens in one day after this busy work, and I forgot to burn some paper money for you to use, don't blame your son for doing such things, being forced to be helpless, forced to be helpless..."

Scar shook his head to himself, threw the sack full of chickens on his shoulder and went straight north, the lonely figure swayed, the unrighteous soul survived, the breeze whistled softly in his ears, as if mocking Scar's life is not worth it, life is better than death!

Go north to the end of the village and turn right, see an old-fashioned earthen house, the tiles are tattered is the scar house, to the old wooden door in front of the house, broken jar and kick it open.

"Dad, I'm back, wait... Ouch, digging the slot, Lao Tzu has nothing to eat, why do you dare to run out and steal Lao Tzu's rice, run and run Lao Tzu told you to run!"

Scar entered the door and saw that the rice bag was broken and a big hole white rice was scattered all over the ground, and the murderer was the yellow-haired rat who was eating happily next to him, bending down and taking off his shoes to chase after him, and the yellow-haired rat ran away when he saw this, and without waiting for Scar to catch up, he drilled into the rat hole from the east corner of the wall, and the yellow-haired mouse seemed to laugh at Scar's stupidity, and he did not stop chattering and screaming when he entered the hole.

Scar was angry and scolded and bent over to put on his shoes, "Grandma, next time you won't be so lucky, damn Lao Tzu poisoned you with rat poison." ”

Twitter...

Scar's ears heard the yellow-haired mouse still bark, as if in response to himself, you will come if you have a kind, and kick the wall.

"Ouch digging groove, you're still trying to get you started, bang!"

Scar turned angrily into the kitchen, took out the big bowl and walked to the rice bag and squatted on one foot, holding the spilled rice back and forth into the big bowl, looking up from time to time at the black and white photos hanging on the wall.

"Dad, you wait a while, I'll go and burn paper money for you when I'm done, don't worry, the Netherworld Mansion shouldn't be closed yet, you should be able to go back"

After three minutes, Scar stood up, carried the rice bag through the hole, put the rice into the cupboard, turned around and walked to the Yu shrine, opened the shrine drawer, took out the incense, candles, paper money, and sat down from the house to the door to burn it.

"Hey, hey, dad doesn't have enough to spend, remember to give me a dream, don't care what the fuck is in the middle of July, you just give me the dream, my son will give you money when it's the day, remember don't be late when it's over!"

Scar smiled bitterly to himself and burned the paper money, and the only thing that responded to him was this silent night, the fire ignited by the paper money, and the eyes that were gradually clouded, Scar wiped the tears that had not overflowed, and said that Lao Tzu couldn't cry and stood up, burned two sticks of incense and turned into the house to close the door to sleep, and after two minutes he snored like thunder!

The night sky at one o'clock in the morning in Mud Village was still clear and blue, but there was still not a single star, and the bright moonlight was scattered on the tiles of each house, except for the big yellow squirrels chirping in front of the cupboard in Scar's house, there was a rush of footsteps on the dirt road in the middle of Mud Village.

A woman's slightly thin figure, a moment appeared under the bright moonlight, looked around in a panic, not far from the house, suddenly came a terrifying cat meow, frightened the woman's posture, involuntarily accelerated the pace from the north, to the end of the village on its own right.

Boom... Bang bang... Boom...

"Hengfei Hengfei, are you not at home, Hengfei?"

Scar was asleep, and was awakened by a knock on the door, and impatiently got out of bed, squinting and barefoot to open the door.

"Who, knock on the door without sleeping in the middle of the night!"

Creak!

"Xu Xiaohuan, you don't sleep at night, why are you still Santa Claus, why don't you climb the smoke and rush up to call me?"

The woman standing in front of the door was Xu Xiaohuan, Erleng's daughter-in-law, her face showed panic, panting and looking left and right, forgetting for a moment that the scar had opened the door and walked out.

"What do you mean?" Scar asked in a louder voice, and the latter looked at Scar in alarm.

"Oh... Where did Hengfei Erlenzi go?"

Scar was in the dark for a while, "He's not going back, I'm watching him go back!"

"No!" Xu Xiaohuan replied, Scar a little puzzled.

"It's strange, I watched him go back, it's almost twelve o'clock, what can he do if he doesn't come home at night?"

Xu Xiaohuan thought silently for a moment, "It's almost twelve o'clock, at twelve o'clock I seemed to hear footsteps in the yard, I thought he was back, but I didn't see him enter the house for a long time, so I wanted to go out to have a look, but when I went out, I saw an old hen in the yard." ”

"Dig a groove, that kid wasn't dragged away by a ghost, let's go and I'll accompany you to find it." ”

Scar's words fell into the house and put on his shoes, and after a while, he walked out of the house and looked at Xu Xiaohuan with an eager face, and he inevitably felt a little envious of Erleng'er in his heart.

"You go to the stammer's house to see, I'll go to Xishan to look for it first, you call the stammering to find it from the village, if it doesn't work, we'll call the police." ”

Seeing that Xu Xiaohuan was sweating profusely, Scar persuaded him again, "Oh, what are you anxious about, what accident can he have, let's leave!"

Scar ran to the west mountain after his words, Xu Xiaohuan saw Scar walking away, pursed his red lips and walked in the direction of the stammer's house.

"Erleng'er, Erlen'er!"

Scar ran and shouted, to the foot of the West Mountain, seeing the West Mountain full of boulders, the bright moonlight scattered on the stone face, there was no tree on the mountain only a little withered grass, and there was no one in the look, but I thought I still went to look for it, and made up my mind to stride forward and climb up the West Mountain, after half an hour Scar was already sweating, seeing that the top of the mountain was close at hand, I tried to shout two times and listen quietly for a while, Erleng'er's voice did not reach my ears, so I retreated and wanted to stop going back and forth.

"Ouch, I'm tired, I can't dig a groove and I'll go again. ”

Scar sat with his back against a big bluestone, panting heavily, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, and then looking down at the panorama of the mud village, seeing the firelight around the village, it was Xu Xiaohuan who gathered the villagers to find Erleng'er's whereabouts together, Scar shook his head with a wry smile and looked at the foot of the mountain, at this time he was halfway up the mountain and was a little afraid of heights, so he shook his head and got up and went down the mountain.

Yes...

But when Scar just stood firm, he heard the woman's miserable roar from the top of the mountain, Scar was so frightened that he squatted on the ground with his feet soft, and almost fell down the mountain, Scar hurriedly hid behind the bluestone, and his forehead was full of cold sweat for a while, and his heart had already retreated, but his curiosity killed people, and Scar finally wanted to find out, so he forced his spirit to grope up the mountain step by step.

After about half an hour, Scar finally groped his way to the top of the mountain, and hid behind the big bluestone on the hillside.

Bang, bang, bang!

The dull sound of the big knife steel blade cutting into the trunk of the tree continued to instill into Scar's ears, but not to mention that there was a tree in this West Mountain, even a single green grass could not be found, and forcibly calmed the sense of fear that came from the depths of his heart.

On the top of the west mountain is a flat land, large and small miscellaneous stones, lying on the ground in an irregular order, at this time a young man in his twenties, shirtless, sitting on a big bluestone with a knife in his right hand, his left hand pinching and lying in front of him, a woman on the back of his neck, the latter is similar in age to the former, the young man is using a steel knife in his hand, making a gesture to cut off the woman's neck and take off the head, the woman's face is ruthless and hideous, and her eyes are just on the big bluestone of the scar, the man is expressionless and continues to raise the knife in his hand, and after a while, the woman's head is taken off, and the hair is grabbed and thrown forward at will, and the head rolls towards the scar, the latter screams and turns around and runs, and rolls down the mountain with one foot。

Scar's words stopped when he landed here, and his right hand on the table kept trembling, which showed the degree of fright in his heart.

"I'll never forget the look in that woman's eyes, and the smell of blood!" Scar said after a moment of silence.

Yang Shi listened to Scar's words, and his palms were a little sweaty, "And then? It can't be Erleng'er, right?"

Scar's face was a little distorted, and he nodded after a moment of silence, which was in response to Yang Shitian's question.

"Do you know that woman?" Yang Shitian continued to ask, Scar shook his head.

"I haven't seen that woman, I remember when I went to the village to pull mud, I didn't see that woman. ”

Yang Shitian nodded, "So your face fell down the mountain to get it?"

Scar raised his head when he heard this, "I don't know, I fell directly and fainted to death, and when I woke up the next day, I was lying in the hospital, Erlen'er was still sitting on the edge of the bed with a smile and peeling apples for me to eat, big brother, you look carefully at the scar on my face." ”

Yang Shitian took a closer look when he heard this, the eaves of the pavilion blocked the light, but he could barely see the scar's face, after a while, Yang Shitian frowned a little, the edge of the scar was very smooth, it was impossible to roll down the mountain and be scratched by a stone more like a man-made knife cut, and the scar was rolled down the mountain, and the chance of being scratched was very small, let alone a slanted mouth of ten centimeters.

"Scar, are you sure that person is Erleng'er?" Yang Shitian asked, Scar's face hesitated, and he thought for a moment.

"The temperament is not like at all, but people look exactly the same, Erlen'er and I grew up together, and the heart can't be so cruel. ”

"Don't you think it's strange?" Yang asked, Scar nodded.

"I lay in the hospital for two or three days, and when I went home on the day I was discharged, I ran to the top of the West Mountain, but there was no trace of blood on the flat ground at all!"

"More than that!" Yang Shi replied, Scar nodded for a moment.

"For the eldest brother, what is even more awesome is that I went to ask Xu Xiaohuan who I was sent to the hospital that day, and she actually said that it was Erleng'er. ”

Yang Shitian was thoughtful, but did not interrupt, and Scar said again with a frightened face.

"And I asked her how she found Erleng'er, she looked at me with a questioning look and said, it was Erlen'er who went to find me, not me who went to find Erlen'er, and finally they found me at the foot of the West Mountain. ”

Yang Shitian was also a little confused for a while, but he thought that there must be something hidden in the dark, Wang Fengxia's death was not only strange and weird, but also died in July, and how could this Xu Xiaohuan look exactly the same as Wang Fengxia, Wang Fengxia never mentioned it to herself before her death, she had a twin sister or sister, and there was one thing in common between the two tricks, that is, they were inseparable from the seven characters!

"Okay, Scar, when I have time, I'll go back to the mud village with you to take a look at the West Mountain, let's go back to sleep, it's not too early." ”

Yang Shi was about to get up, but he began to think about another thing in his heart, Scar nodded with palpitations when he heard this, and followed the latter out of the pavilion!
