Chapter 64: Cannibals
It was getting light, and they were all drowsy.
Ghosts knocking on doors and human bones knocking on the floor in the middle of the night have tormented them for a night, and it would be creepy to think that they would not come here if they had known earlier that such a scary thing would be encountered.
They all entered a light sleep, and no matter how scared they were, they couldn't resist Zhou Gong's strong invitation to them.
The sun shone into the room through the dilapidated wooden window, and they all fell asleep, and the demon also fell asleep in Li Yixin's hat.
Xiao Ni came out of the hall, she didn't sleep well, her face was tired.
When she was tortured by the patriarch again, how she hoped that the ancient words could really take her out of this ghost place, and at dawn the patriarch forced her to drink the big bowl of black medicine, and her mouth was still bitter to this day.
She wanted to cry, but she didn't, because she was hiding in the corner and crying secretly, and she stopped crying when there was hope.
When she walked out of the patriarch's house, the four women happened to pass in front of her, and they were going to prepare a hearty breakfast for the patriarch, but what about Xiaoni?
She didn't have to do anything, they hadn't been in the patriarch's house for a long time.
Xiao Ni knows that they are sneaking around behind her again, and she will spit on her back when she looks away, and she will scold her little slut, slut, **
Anything nasty will be used.
Maybe Xiao Ni is used to it, it's been almost three years.
She has always wanted to change this qiē, she ran away countless times, was caught countless times, and finally was surrounded and beaten by many people, who knew her or didn't know her, and beat her to death.
When she has no ability to resist, the four women who scolded her will drag her to the patriarch's bed.
They would kick her a few more times after each drag, then spit and scold her, and finally they would leave together with a grin
They regarded bullying her as the happiest thing in the world, and dragged her to the patriarch's bed while scolding her for seducing the patriarch.
She didn't know what all this meant, she only knew that it hurt to be beaten by them, it hurt to sleep with the patriarch, it was bitter to drink the black medicine, and it was very aggrieved to be scolded by the four women.
At the age of fourteen, how much she wanted to change this.
And all her hopes are pinned on them by the ancient sayings.
If she wants to live, she can't live, and if she wants to die, she can't die, and now, I really hope that Gu Yan can take her away, and go anywhere, at least she won't have to be tortured like this anymore.
She smiled at the sun.
It was her first smile since her mom and dad were killed by the patriarch because she saw hope to live.
She smiled and walked to the door of their room, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.
"Knock-knock-knock-"
There were three more knocks on the door, and at once they woke up the ancient sayings of light sleep in the room.
When I opened my eyes, I found that it was already dawn.
There was another knock on the door, Gu Yan stood up, Yang Damei grabbed him, shook his head, and then Gu Yan stopped, and Yang Damei walked to the door.
"Hey, it's Xiao Nier here, help me fold the quilt, it's too much for me to do alone."
Sister Yang shouted exaggeratedly, while looking outside the door, and by the way, she also reported to Gu Yan and them.
As soon as they heard that it was Xiao Ni, their tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and Yang Damei looked outside, and when she saw that there was no one, she immediately pulled Xiao Ni into the room, and then bolted the door.
"Why don't you sleep in any of your beds?"
Xiao Ni looked at Sun Da and Yang Erwa who were still sitting on the ground, Yang Damei pulled Xiao Ni to Gu Yan's side, and whispered: "Xiao Nier, I won't bend my bowels with you, let me ask you, why is there a knock on the door outside when it's dark?" Why is there the sound of something stomping on the floor upstairs in the middle of the night? ”
Xiao Ni was a little frightened when she heard Yang Damei finish speaking, and replied in a low voice: "Let me tell you, there is always a knock on the door at night, so the patriarch does not allow us to go out at night, saying that there is a ghost baby knocking on the door outside."
I don't know what was going on upstairs and stomping on the floor, I only know that there was a man upstairs who committed suicide before, and now no one dares to live in it, and they say that he hasn't even got his body out, and that the house has been locked all along. ”
Although they didn't understand all what Xiao Ni said, they probably still understood. Hearing Xiao Ni say that there was a suicide upstairs and a corpse, their hearts were cold.
Could it be that the man who knocked the floor with his own bones last night? Or does that person's bones themselves know how to knock on the floor? And there was a knock on the door, all the time.
It's scary, isn't it?
"We heard a knock on the door outside and a knock on the floor upstairs when it got dark yesterday, so we didn't dare sleep."
Yang Damei explained, Xiao Ni stared at the roof of the building, turned around and said tremblingly: "I haven't heard the sound of ghost bones hitting the floor in this house before."
Xiao Ni pointed upstairs, Sister Yang's heart was cold, she glanced at the roof again, and asked in a low voice, "That person committed suicide a long time ago?"
"Well, it was all before my mother was killed by the patriarch. Well, my mom and old man were killed by them. ”
Xiao Ni kept looking upstairs, looking a little curious.
"Your mother, the old man, was actually beaten to death by the patriarch."
Sister Yang was shocked again, the patriarch was too cruel.
It seems that they really can't offend the patriarch, maybe they will also be beaten to death by the patriarch.
"It's just not because of this guy upstairs!"
There was still some hatred in Xiao Ni's eyes. Sister Yang looked at her and continued to ask, "Then why?"
"The person upstairs is my old man's good trick, that is, the younger brother of the big black uncle who brought you here, Erhei, he ran to my house one day to tell my mother that he wanted to kill the patriarch.
Because the patriarch killed his mother-in-law, the mother-in-law was very beautiful, and the patriarch wanted the mother-in-law to sleep with him, but the mother-in-law did not do it, so the patriarch locked her up, that is, to this house. ”
Xiao Ni pointed upstairs and continued: "That mother-in-law hit the wall and died, and then Uncle Erhei knew that his mother-in-law was killed by the patriarch, so he went to the patriarch to settle the account, and the patriarch locked Uncle Erhei in this house again, and Uncle Erhei later also hit the wall and died.
I don't know if Uncle Erhei's mother-in-law was knocking on the floor last night, or Uncle Erhei was knocking on the floor. “
Sister Yang's face was deformed with fright, and they looked at her in the ancient language, a little inexplicable, and they didn't quite understand what they said between them.
"Why do you say that Uncle Erhei killed your mother?" Sister Yang asked, and she probably knew a little bit in her heart.
"The patriarch said that my mother, the old man, knew that Uncle Erhei was going to kill him, but didn't tell him, and wrongfully said that it was my mother, the old man, who called Uncle Erhei to kill him.
said that my mother and Uncle Erhei were in the same group, and then the patriarch called someone to beat my mother and the old man, and I was also at the head of the house, and I saw my mother and the old man being beaten to death by the patriarch.
I went to pull it, and the patriarch tied me to the wall pole and said he would take me back to sleep. “
Yang Damei saw Xiao Ni and said that these were very calm, how could such a little girl in such a remote mountain area know so much, but it was just a mountain away from them.
Why is there such a big difference?!
Such a world! What to say?
"Also, sister, I'll tell you."
Xiao Ni suddenly leaned her head closer to Sister Yang, and whispered: "Patriarch, they have eaten people before."
"Cannibalism?"
Sister Yang was shocked again, and couldn't help but say it, Sun Da and they were scared in their hearts, and they couldn't help but tremble again.
"Sister, be quiet! The patriarch knew he was going to beat me again."
"I'm sorry, Ni"
Sister Yang also stammered when she spoke, glanced at Gu Yan, and clearly saw worry and fear in his eyes.
"Really? You didn't lie to me? ”
Sister Yang couldn't believe it at all, and hurriedly asked. suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Erwa, fold the quilt, if the quilt is messy, maybe Xiao Nier will be beaten again after a while."
Yang Erwa nodded and went to fold the quilt, Sun Da and Jin Bell also went to help, Xiaoni saw them help and said gratefully, "Thank you, brothers and sisters."
"We're taking your time."
Sister Yang smiled bitterly and asked, "Little Nier, what do you say is that cannibalism?" You didn't lie to me? ”
"How could I lie to you, I listened to what my mother said, they can't coax me, they saw the patriarch eat human flesh with their own eyes."
Xiao Ni looked frightened, Yang Damei didn't speak, Xiao Ni continued: "In the past, when we fought, the patriarch and the old patriarch fought. Originally, the patriarch was not the person he is now, and the patriarch killed the old patriarch.
The son of the old patriarch, that is, the little patriarch came to avenge the old patriarch, and they fought on both sides, I was still very young at that time, and then when I grew up, my old man told me not to provoke the patriarch, the patriarch wanted to eat people. ”
"Why does the patriarch want to eat people?" Sister Yang trembled when she thought of the scene of the patriarch eating people, and the scene of the fight.
They also heard the word "cannibalism" in the ancient saying, how much they wanted to get out of here, but they still wanted to save the ghost and take Xiaoni away.
"In the war, no one planted buds and grain, and no wheat was gained. They eat human flesh when they kill people, and my old man said that the meat of the little doll is the most delicious and refreshing; The mother-in-law's meat is also delicious and white; The meat of the old man they rescued picked up and fed to the wild dogs. ”
"Then your old man also eats human flesh?"
Sister Yang asked tremblingly, Xiao Ni shook her head, and replied affirmatively: "No, my old man listened to those who won the battle." Those who won the battle were with the patriarchs, the same people who had eaten at the head of the house last night.
They all lived in this house, and there was no one living outside, and the patriarch said that he would burn down the house outside. ”
"Then you old man didn't have to fight with the patriarch?"
"No, my old man hid in the cellar, my mother was giving birth to me at that time, my old man gave birth to my mother, and I was delivered by my old man.
They were afraid that the patriarch would cut me down, so they hid in the cellar at the head of the house and ate sweet potatoes, and they did not dare to go out without washing them.
These were told to me by my old man later, he didn't allow me to go out, and I was raised by my mother, the old man, in the cellar.
Later, the patriarch of Uncle Erhei's affairs found me at the head of the house, and I was hiding in the cellar, but I came out when I heard my mother shouting loudly outside.
The patriarch didn't know that there was still me in my house, and when he saw me, he tied me to the wall, and I saw my mother and old man being beaten to death by the patriarch, and then I was taken away by the patriarch and tied up until he called me to sleep with him. ”
Sister Yang couldn't cry again when she heard this, and was about to ask again, and a sharp woman's voice outside shouted at them: "Little Nier, the patriarch called you, hurry up, did they come out?"
"Come out, they're getting dressed."
Xiao Ni shouted outside and quickly opened the door and ran outside, Yang Damei followed and bolted the door again, and saw Xiao Ni being taken away by them again with tears in her eyes, she turned back while walking.
Sister Yang just bolted the door and pulled her over, and asked eagerly, "The patriarch really wants to eat people?"
"That's what Little Niel said."
After answering Gu Yan, Yang broke free from Gu Yan and went to Yang Erwa, and Gu Yan suddenly felt very lost in her heart.
"Erwa, let's fold the quilt and go out."
Yang Damei said to Yang Erwa, Yang Erwa didn't answer but nodded, he heard Yang Damei and Xiaoni's words clearly just now.
Now he was too scared, afraid that the patriarch would eat him too, and now he didn't dare to go out of this house for a single step.
"We must pretend that we don't know anything, and since the patriarch knows about a ghost knocking on the door, I'll ask him to see how he reacts, and then we'll make plans.
I'm also going to ask for news about the ghost, try to find him, and hopefully he can solve the reason why the ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night and the human bones knock on the floor. ”
Gu Yan agreed with Yang Damei's statement, but he didn't want her to take risks, and after thinking that this was the only way, he didn't stop it.
He thought about it all night and finally figured it out, he was afraid that something would happen to Sister Yang, and he was worried about Sister Yang's safety and often secretly paid attention to her.
This qiē proves that Gu Yan has slowly fallen in love with this country girl.
But will she agree to be with her? Gu Yan was entangled again, and watched Sister Yang walk out with everyone.
Gu Yan sighed at the end and followed.
Outside the door, it was a nice sunny day.
