Chapter 6: The Mystery Man (1)
The two doors with "life" and "death" written on them slowly opened, and the two doors were pitch black, with white smoke emitting outward, which seemed particularly deep and mysterious, and a chill came to me, I looked back, and the mysterious man with a distorted face stood behind me, a pair of black hole eyes stared straight at me, although I couldn't see the pupils, but for some reason, it made me feel that his gaze was so sharp and breathtaking.

The mysterious man nodded at me, motioning for me to choose one of the doors, I turned my head, looked inside the dark door, and suddenly realized something, life is not like these two doors of life and death, facing a difficult choice, does the door of life mean "life"? Often easy to see on the surface does not mean that it is the final ending, different choices, determine different paths, each road has a different exit, every difficult choice in life determines everyone's different fate, from ancient times to the present, everyone can not escape the choice of fate, sometimes the choice is "right", sometimes the choice is "wrong", and if you don't go to the experience, how can you know the right and wrong choice? It seems that every choice is predestined, and there seems to be some kind of force that influences everyone's choice, and each person's choice determines his own destiny, and everyone's destiny determines the development of society, and the development of society changes nature, man and nature are a whole, and the transformation of man determines the change of heaven and earth, and the change of heaven and earth determines the fate of man......
I now seem to be standing at the fork in the road of fate, whether to live or die can only be decided by myself, which is the way of life and which is the road of death, I can't see the exit, I can't guess the ending, I hesitate......
Suddenly, a powerful force pushed me through the door.
I woke up and it was a nightmare.
I sat on the bed, my head still groggy, the effects of the alcohol had not completely dissipated, and my head was buzzing. When I think back to the episode in my dream, does it indicate that my fate is also facing a choice between life and death?
I recalled the déjà vu, terrifying gaze in the dream, and suddenly remembered that this gaze was not the gaze of the mysterious and terrifying old woman in the ** cemetery, I still haven't figured out whether the eerie and mysterious ghost house in the ** cemetery and the ghost in the house are the hallucinations that the nine-tailed fox caused me, but this gaze is so real, so scared, really scared, so that I have to decide my choice according to its orders.
I sat on the bed for a long time, my mind gradually cleared up, the room was dark, I fumbled to find the switch of the lamp, turned on the lamp, looked at the watch, it was more than two o'clock in the night, it was silent outside, only the occasional insect chirping.
I went to the bathroom, washed my face with cool water, and went back to bed but couldn't sleep, and my mind was completely clear. I turned over a few times, sat up again, remembered to call Chubby's mobile phone, so I picked up the phone and dialed Chubby's number, this time prompting that the phone could not be connected, it seems that Chubby's mobile phone is either out of battery, or it is turned off, I don't know how Chubby is now. I hung up the phone, thinking that I couldn't sleep anyway, it was better to go out for a walk, the air in the mountain village is fresh, the night sky must be beautiful in early summer, go out and breathe fresh air and look at the beautiful starry sky.
After thinking about it, I put on my coat and shoes, went out with a flashlight, and gently closed the door, afraid of disturbing others, and went down the stairs lightly.
There is a small room on the left side of the stairs, where Zhao Daya's nephew lives, with the door open and only the curtain drawn, in order to facilitate the care of the guests. There was thunderous snoring in the room, and it was estimated that Zhao Daya's nephew was already asleep.
I gently opened the door of the building, the weather outside was sunny, the moonlight was bright, and I was just about to step out of the door, when I suddenly heard movement in the side room on the left side of the courtyard.
I know that Zhao Daya and his wife and daughter live in the side room on the right, and I remember that when I first came, I saw the side room on the left side with the curtains drawn during the day, and there seemed to be a distorted face looking out inside, and I didn't know who lived inside, so I was very curious, so I turned off the flashlight, covered the door of the building, and looked through the crack in the door, wanting to see what was going on.
Sure enough, the door of the side room on the left side opened, and a person walked out from inside, this person is about one meter seven tall, slightly hunchbacked, it looks like it should be a man, although the moonlight is very bright, but the distance is relatively far, plus this person has his head down, sideways, and he can't see the face, so the facial features are not real, but you can vaguely see that this person's face is very white, even like white paper, the white is a little scary, it seems to be a little distorted, and it looks very mad in the middle of the night.
"Who is this person?" I thought to myself, Zhao Daya's nephew was sleeping in the hut next to him, and it was not Zhao Daya's wife and daughter, and when Zhao Daya introduced him during the day, he didn't mention that there were other people living besides his family, so who was this strange person in the side room on the left? Why does this person look so scary? Like a ghost, what is he doing when he goes out in the middle of the night? These questions suddenly aroused my curiosity.
I saw that the mysterious man closed the door, turned around and walked to the courtyard gate, picked up a hoe, went out of the courtyard gate, and closed the courtyard door. I hurriedly followed, walked to the courtyard gate, listened, felt that the man had gone away, gently opened the courtyard door, poked his head out, and saw by the moonlight that the mysterious man was carrying a hoe along the path to the outside of the village. The strange thing is that many people in the countryside have dogs, and in the dead of night there is always a dog barking when I hear someone walking, but for some reason, it seems that these dogs suddenly fell asleep to death, and I didn't hear a dog bark when this mysterious person walked out of the village.
I also went out of the courtyard door, gently closed the door, followed the mysterious man from a distance, only to see the mysterious man walking slowly in front, the bright moonlight illuminated his back, the shadow was very long, he was slightly hunched back, carrying a hoe on his shoulder, in this silent moonlit night looked very strange. I looked at his back from afar, and I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
I saw the mysterious man walk to a farmhouse at the entrance of the village, push the courtyard door and walk in, I know that many people in the countryside do not lock the courtyard door at night, I don't know what this mysterious person ran to this house in the middle of the night to do, is it a thief?
I hid behind a tree and secretly observed, listening carefully to the movement in the courtyard, but there was still silence all around, and there was no movement. After a while, I saw the courtyard door open, the mysterious man out of the courtyard door, I quickly retracted my head, it sounded as if the mysterious man closed the courtyard door of the house and walked forward, I dared to poke my head out again to look over there, only to see that the mysterious man was still holding a hoe in one hand on his shoulder, slowly walking out of the village, but the other hand had one more thing, I took a closer look by the moonlight, it turned out to be a live chicken! The strange thing is that the chicken was grabbed by the mysterious man on the wings, but he did not move, nor did he bark, as if he was very obedient, but the head of the chicken turned from time to time, and it could be seen that the chicken was alive.
I followed the mysterious man to the outside of the village, and saw the mysterious man carrying a hoe and a chicken into an orchard. "Damn, is it fertilizing the soil for fruit trees?", I thought to myself, "but I've never heard of fertilizing in the middle of the night, and what is fertilizing a chicken for?", the more I thought about it, the more strange it became, and I continued to secretly follow the mysterious man in the distance.
The mysterious man walked through the orchard, and walked forward for a while, and I saw the black pressure in front of me, and when I looked up, it turned out that I had reached the bottom of the hill of Phoenix Terrace, and the mysterious man had gone into a small forest under the mountain. I followed into the woods.
I saw the mysterious man walk to a big tree in the middle of the woods and stopped, and I quickly stopped and hid behind a tree to watch secretly.
The mysterious man put the chicken on the ground, and the strange thing is that the chicken did not run, but stood on the ground motionless. The mysterious man picked up a hoe and dug the soil under the big tree, and I saw that the big tree was very thick, much thicker than the other trees in the woods, and although it was not very real by the moonlight, I could vaguely see that the tree seemed to be a locust tree, and judging by the thickness it should be an ancient tree.
The mysterious man dug the earth for a while, as if he had found something, and then he put his hoe on the ground beside the tree, and knelt on the ground with his legs, and took it out of the soil with both hands and put it beside the tree.
After the mysterious man took out the thing and put it away, he knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to the thing three times, and then stood up, muttering something in his mouth, and dancing around the big tree. "Damn, is there something wrong with this buddy?", I thought to myself.
I don't know how many times I turned, I saw that the mysterious man stopped, and suddenly grabbed the chicken on the ground, the chicken was still motionless, and the next scene stunned me, only to see the mysterious man grasp the wings of the chicken with one hand, grasp the chicken head with the other, and twist the chicken head off with a force! The chicken crowed without a sound, and the chicken blood came out of the neck cavity of the dead chicken. The mysterious man suddenly turned around and faced me, and by the moonlight, I saw a hideous and terrifying face, only to see that this face was as pale as paper, and the face was full of pitted scars from corrosive burns, and the left side of the face was sunken, and the whole face had been distorted, and the eyes were black and invisible. The mysterious man grabbed the dead chicken in his hand, put the chicken's neck cavity to his mouth, greedily sucked the chicken's blood, and the blood kept flowing down the mysterious man's distorted cheeks, which looked particularly weird and terrifying in the moonlight. Seeing this horrible scene, I couldn't help but want to vomit.
I covered my mouth with my hands, trying to calm my breathing, controlling myself so that I didn't make a sound. "What the hell is this monster?" I thought to myself.
