Chapter 58
The female ghost Huang Wanru didn't let us wait too long, and when it was just getting dark, I saw countless rats pouring into the county town in groups on the main road outside, heading straight for the house at the end of the street.
Not long after the rat army passed, they returned, but unlike before, there was a little girl less than six years old in the rat ranks.
An army of rats surrounded the entire street building, but as I had guessed, they stood two meters away and did not dare to come any closer.
The rats did not dare to step forward, and the people did not dare to take the toilet.
The little girl walked out of the rat colony, stopped in front of the door of the small building on the street, raised her head and shouted, "You let me go of Brother Ocean!"
This was the first time since entering the third dream world that I had heard the owner of the dream call out, and the immature voice was completely unthreatening.
At this time, I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.
No matter how many times this Huang Wanru has been reincarnated in life and death, no matter what kind of person she has become, at least in this dream she is a child, a little girl who is not yet six years old.
The logic of the dream world is also designed according to her current age, which should be very simple and concise.
But now this situation is not simple at all.
Just in the county seat of Yexian County within this reincarnation formation, the setting of a three-day cycle is not something that a six-year-old girl can come up with at all.
Unless...... Unless she lived in such a special environment before her death, she didn't understand the mystery. Just know that the world is like this!
At this moment when I was thinking wildly, the little girl downstairs was obviously angry, waving her tender little arms and shouting again: "Release my brother Haiyang, otherwise, I will kill you!"
Scold...... Scold......
Can you imagine a kid staring at you and saying he's going to kill you, it's like a kid holding an iron rod and confronting a gang of chengguan, and anyone who looks at it will find it ridiculous.
But after the ridiculousness, who knows what secrets are hidden deep in the hearts of these children who speak wildly.
I stood at the window with the fat man and the others, looking at the little girl yelling on the street downstairs, quite helpless. After all, she still has an army of rats around her. We really don't dare to act rashly.
The little girl shouted for a long time. Seeing that there was no movement on our side, his brows furrowed, and then he took two steps back, and his pink arms waved forward suddenly. It's like a general giving the order for soldiers to attack a city.
However, her rat soldiers don't seem to be so obedient.
It had been a while since the little girl had finished waving. The rats were hesitant to move forward. From my point of view, I could see that the little girl's lips were squirming, and she must have recited some kind of spell or something.
As a result, the "soldiers" in the back row of the rat army desperately squeezed forward, and the "soldiers" in the front row retreated desperately. After a while, there was infighting among the entire rat army, many rats tore at each other, and after a few minutes, I don't know which one took the lead, and the thousands of rats no longer obeyed the little girl's control, and turned their heads and scattered.
I'm dumbfounded, that little girl is the female ghost Huang Wanru, she is the owner of this dream, how can there be anything in this dream that is not under her control, is it all because of the dead cat sleeping on the roof?
The little girl downstairs was also dumbfounded, she must have encountered this situation for the first time, she stood there for a long time, and suddenly cried "wow".
Maybe in her opinion, those rats scattered in a hurry, just like her beloved toys were snatched away, which is particularly sad.
The army of rats dispersed, and our threat was lifted, at this time, Senior Chen, who was beside him, sighed softly, and said quietly: "Let's go, let's go down and have a good chat with the little girl." Maybe if she unties the knot, it's all over. β
"Huh, will you go down now?"
Hearing Senior Chen's words, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because according to our previous plan, now is not the best time to go downstairs.
"Let's go, the boy is crying to my heart. Settle things out early in case you have too many dreams at night. β
Senior Chen explained casually, and walked downstairs with a step, giving people a feeling of "his mother's love is overflowing, and he can't wait to coax the child downstairs immediately".
I don't know what he thinks, but I know that the consequences of not acting according to plan will be troublesome if you are so emotional.
So I didn't let the fat man go downstairs, but let him stay in the building and watch the little boy.
It took a little time to explain the task to the fat man, that is, a minute or two, and when I came downstairs, I saw a jaw-dropping scene.
Senior Chen squatted in front of the little girl, gently stroking the girl's little head with one hand, and was constantly comforting her.
Isn't it, what did I miss just now, how did the relationship between the two get closer to this extent in the blink of an eye?
I raised my eyes to look at Liang Tianyu next to me, Liang Tianyu just shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, pointed at Senior Chen, and motioned for me to listen.
In that case, I'll just stand by and listen.
Senior Chen slowly calmed the little girl's emotions, and when the other party finally stopped crying, he said, "Well, that's right." If you don't cry, you're a good child. Now the big brother asks you something, if you tell me everything, I'll take your ocean brother out, do you say?"
"Good. β
"Then let me ask you, little friend, what's your name?"
"My name is Huang Wanru. β
"Oh, Wanru, can you tell me what this place is?"
"Dad said, this place is called Ye County, and it is my home. β
"Oh, your home. And who else is in your family?"
"There's Brother Ocean, there's me, and Dad. β
"Your dad is here too, why didn't he come with you?"
"Dad hung on the tree and couldn't get down. β
"Where's the hanging?"
"On the trees. β
ββ¦β¦β
Not only Senior Chen, who had a direct conversation with the little girl, but Liang Tianyu and I, who were listening next to me, were dumbfounded.
The little girl said her father was hanging from a tree.
What a joke. Who's ...... Who would...... Hey, could it be that he hanged himself from a tree with a crooked neck?
I suddenly thought of this, and hurriedly turned my head to look at Senior Chen, and it was obvious from the other party's eyes that he was thinking the same as me.
I quickly motioned to him to find a way to get the little girl to take us over.
Senior Chen understood, and said softly in a gentle tone: "Wanru little sister, then can you take us to meet your father, there are some things we need to ask your family to understand." β
"Hmm...... Okay, that's it...... It's just that Dad hasn't spoken in a long time, and I don't know if he will pay attention to you. β
"It's okay, you just have to take us there. If your dad doesn't welcome us. Let's go. β
"That'...... All right. Come with me. β
The little girl nodded solemnly, took Senior Chen's hand and walked towards the end of the street, and Liang Tianyu and I hurriedly followed.
However, the road became more and more familiar, and when I finally came to the backyard of the house at the end of the street. The little girl pointed to the dog hole at the base of the wall and told us that his father was on the other side. The three of us couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Went around and around. The answers to all the questions are behind this dog hole, but we can't get over it.
Seeing the strange expressions of the three of us, the little girl thought that we didn't believe her. Waving his two little hands, he explained urgently: "Big brother, my dad is over there, I didn't lie to you." β
"Ahem, little sister, I know you lied to us. However, this hole is so small, a few of us can't get through it. If you can't get by, you won't be able to see your dad. β
"Ah, is this hole small, but I can get through. β
The little girl waited for a pair of surprised big eyes, stretched out her hand to measure the hole, turned her head and measured it on Senior Chen again, and then shook her little head and put on a look of sudden realization.
"Hey, I really can't get by. β
Seeing her such a naΓ―ve behavior, I really can't associate her with a female ghost who picks yang and replenishes yin and harms people's lives, I really don't know how that Zhang Haiyang was trapped in this dream.
After the little girl measured it a few times, she found that none of the three of us could get through this dog hole, so she raised her little head and thought for a while, and suddenly shouted loudly: "I have a way!"
With that, she closed her eyes and muttered something like a spell in her mouth. It didn't take long for me to feel a slight tremor on the ground beneath my feet, and in a trance, countless large rats poured into the backyard of this house at the end of the street from all directions.
"A few big brothers, you wait a while, I'll ask Ah Hao and them to dig the passage a little bigger. β
"Ah...... Hao?"
A little girl is a little girl, and she even named her pet, but there are a lot of rats in the yard, who knows which one is Ah Hao she said.
Forget it, no matter who Ah Hao is, anyway, the arrival of these rats really helped us solve the trouble.
The army of rats rushed into the dog hole, striking back and forth, inside and out, and expanding the dog hole to a height of more than a meter at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
At this time, all the mice stopped, and the little girl Huang Wanru turned her head to us and said, "A few big brothers, can you do it now?" Ah Hao said that you can't dig anymore, and if you dig again, the wall will collapse." β
"Ah, yes, yes. β
"That's good. β
The little girl smiled innocently, and then waved at the army of rats, and thousands of gophers scattered in the blink of an eye, where they came from and back again.
It's amazing, this is simply amazing, if this ability is put outside, what do you want the army to do, just find someone to bring the world's mice, and you can level it wherever you want.
I swallowed hard, glad I had run fast enough last time, and glad that there was the black charcoal in the small building on the street, otherwise I would have been gnawed by these rats.
Leaving the mouse aside, the little girl Huang Wanru here took Senior Chen's hand and took the lead in walking in from the already expanded dog hole.
Liang Tianyu and I followed closely behind and entered the real darkness.
The hole cut in a wall should not be too long, and walking in it, I am not afraid of this short period of darkness, but a little worried about the light after the darkness.
Because once I walked out of this dog hole, I could look up and see a man hanging from a tree with a crooked neck.
I tried to adjust my breathing and prepare myself, but when I actually walked out, what I saw in front of me completely broke my psychological defense, and I sat on the ground in fright.
There is indeed a crooked neck tree here, and a kerosene lamp hangs from a delicate branch of the crooked neck tree, and the light is faint, but it is enough to make a clear view of everything here.
On the other side of the crooked neck tree, a man hung from a thick branch that stretched out horizontally, not by the neck, but by hanging his hands tied up from the tree.
Viewed from top to bottom, the man's head was tilted to the side, obviously without any signs of life, and the clothes on his body were tattered and torn into wisps, and from the opening, it was clear that his body was covered with blood.
When I saw this, the first thing I thought of was that this man was tied up by someone, and then he was brutally tortured and abused, and finally beaten to death.
This is very different from what I imagined hanging, and of course this scene is a little less visually striking than the one that hanged myself.
To put it bluntly, it's not that scary.
In fact, it is not the dead man who is really scary, but what is under the feet of the dead man.
I looked down his entire body, and found that there was a large pile of white flowers on the ground directly below him, and when I looked closely, it was clearly countless dead people's bones piled together.
Some were about to be weathered into powder, some were scattered and the heads and legs could not be seen, some were intact and obviously the skeleton of a human being, some were connected with white bones with black blood stains, and some had thick black hair staring at me with wide eyes.
They were all dead people, and because the time of death was different, the existence of the things left behind was also different, and many bones were piled together, as if they were to build a mountain of white bones to support the man hanging from the tree.
I was terrified, really frightened, and sat on the ground with my lips trembling and unable to say a word.
On the other side, Senior Chen and Liang Tianyu didn't feel very good, and Liang Tianyu even turned his head directly and drilled back from the dog hole we just came over.
I didn't know how to calm down my frightened mood, but when I could catch my breath a little, I heard Senior Chen ask the little girl Huang Wanru.
"Wanru little sister, is the person hanging on the tree your father?"
"Well, yes. β
"And who are these people under the tree?"
"Oh, you say they're all my brothers. β
"Brother, what brother?"
"It's the same brother as Brother Ocean. (To be continued.) )
