Then, Lao Liu shouted to a few other people in the village, ready to take me up the mountain. The mountains here are not as tall as those in the southwestern province, they are closer to the hills, and by exploitation, the winding mountain road has been repaired, but the road has not yet been equipped with guardrails, and it is terrifying to drive up.

Fortunately, Lao Liu's skills are very good, and the car is quite stable. My mind is clear, it's very different from last time. According to them, this mountain is called Basket Mountain, so named because it looks like a vegetable basket from the outside.

"Mr. Liu, is there anyone living in this mountain?" I asked.

"Alas, don't call me Mr. Liu, just call me Lao Liu!" Lao Liu smiled and continued, "This mountain is going to be developed, and no one is allowed to live there." I've never heard of anyone living here before. ”

"Then in your village, have you ever said anything about strange old women?"

"Strange old woman?" Lao Liu frowned and thought about it, and said to a few people in the back seat, "Hey, I don't have a good brain, how many of you think about Miss Wu?" ”

"I know!" One of them, who looked to be in his twenties, said, "Isn't it strange that the old lady Liu in the back village is always chattering, and she always scared us when I was a child!" ”

"Nonsense!" The middle-aged man sitting next to the young man said, "Old Lady Liu is still alive!" Can't you think about anything else? ”

"Well, I did hear similar stories when I was a kid." Lao Liu interface.

"White woman! Hey, isn't that this? "The young man is coming again.

"White woman? What is it? "I'm a little curious.

When the young man saw that I was interested, he immediately opened the conversation and said, "This is a local legend that we use to scare children, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Okay." I replied.

Legend has it that in ancient times, it was also a place where farmers lived. There is a family here who is in the flour business. made a lot of money, but only the old mother and son lived in the family.

When the son reached the marriageable age, the old mother wanted to tell her son about a family affair, but who knew that the son had already had a crush, who was a maid who helped the family in business. This maid has a beautiful face, a foxy look, and a young man who is just beginning to fall in love is her opponent. Directly defeated.

This maid is no ordinary character either. She took a fancy to the family's fortune and wanted to take it for herself, so she tempted the young man to marry her. In fact, this maid has a lover outside for a long time. The two teamed up to cheat their family out of their property. When the young man told his mother about this, of course she was strongly refused.

The two parties were consumed like this, and the maid lived in their house in a grand manner, and drove the old woman out. It is said that this maid was fond of applying flour to her face. It looks very pale, but the aesthetic environment at the time. To do so is a symbol of beauty.

The old woman who was kicked out has been living tenaciously, and she believes that one day her son will change his mind and see the true face of the woman in front of him.

Seeing that the old woman was slow to give up, the woman came up with a vicious plan. She lets her lover sneak into the house where the old woman lives. Poisoned her food. Now the old woman couldn't resist the fierceness of the poison, and finally died. The young man married the woman he loved, but the woman abandoned him not long after. People and money are empty.

It is said that this woman has an extremely vicious heart. Not only did she kill the old woman, but she also peeled off the old woman's face, because she couldn't get used to seeing women always throwing a thick layer of powder on her face.

The matter was not over here, and the abandoned young man understood the painstaking feelings of his mother at that time, and wept day and night at her grave. This grievance and resentment made the old man never be able to live beyond his life, and he turned into an evil ghost. This evil spirit would wander the mountains, and when he met young women, he would pretend to be kind and sell his flour to the girls. If the girl rejects her, she will feel that the other person is a good child and will even bless her.

But if the girl accepts, after spreading the flour on her face, the girl is finished. Her face will peel off her face and turn into a mask, which will be taken away by the white woman.

"Hehe, horror, that's what we use here to scare children and prevent them from running into the mountains to play." After the young man finished speaking, I only felt a layer of cold sweat on my back. This story is a reproduction of what I saw in a girl's dream. But the difference was that she didn't give me a choice at all, and just pasted the flour on my face.

I still have the choking pain in my nasal cavity and trachea that I felt when the flour entered, which was terrifying.

"Hey, it's here." Lao Liu stopped the car, and I pulled myself back from my thoughts.

"Miss Wu, don't be afraid, it's all legends, used to scare children, there are no monsters in this mountain, we often came here when we were children." The young man said comfortingly when he saw that my face was not very good.

I looked up the hill and there was no winding road ahead, but there was still some distance from the summit.

"The road is built here, and you have to climb up by yourself, and the mask was found on it, Miss Wu, do you think we should climb or go back?" Lao Liu asked.

"Climb!" Now that it's already here, there's no reason to retreat. I immediately followed the three of them and embarked on the dirt and stone road.

Climbing the mountain in the big sun is simply torture, sweating not to mention, the main thing is that there is no wind. I remember that although it was hot in the southwest mountains, there was often a mountain breeze in the mountains, and it was very comfortable. But here is facing the loess with its back to the sky, and it is very dry and hot, which does not give people a chance to breathe at all.

Finally, the mountain is in front of you. I quickened my pace and caught up with the other three.

"Miss Wu, this is it." Lao Liu pointed to a cave in front of me and said.

The surrounding area of the cave looks abrupt, not like it was formed naturally, and the crooked outline is strange.

"Where did this cave come from?"

"It's blown up." The middle-aged man replied, "Back then, we helped open the mountain, and Lao Liu was in charge of this one." After the bombing, there was such a cave. It looks like it's a novelty, like going in and looking at it, and it turns out that I found that weird mask. ”

After listening to them, I cautiously walked to the middle of the cave. Strictly speaking, this place does not look like a cave, but more like a mountain chamber, as if someone has cut a cross-cut on the basket mountain, which is extremely abrupt.

"Hey! Lao Liu! Come and see! The middle-aged man suddenly exclaimed, drawing us all in.

They held up their flashlights and touched the mud and stones in front of them, and looked at each other.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" I asked.

"This ...... Miss Wu, I'm afraid that you won't believe it, this mountain seems to have grown again. (To be continued.) )
