Chapter 45: Bloody Hands
The old man's face turned pale with horror.
His story was not finished, and the others chimed in, crying about all kinds of horrific experiences.
The scene was chaotic.
Suddenly, a little girl squeezed out of the crowd, grabbed the corner of Su Changan's clothes, and said with a crying voice: "Big brother, please take us in." ”
The little girl was about ten years old, well-behaved and cute, with two big watery eyes and braids, and she was holding a little boy who was a head shorter than her, who kept picking his nose and pulling out a handful of sticky boogers and rubbing them to play.
Two little kids.
Su Changan asked, "Where are your parents?"
The little girl's eyes were hazy with tears: "Dead, killed by 'bloody hands'." ”
Su Changan frowned: "Bloody hands?"
When a half-old woman heard this, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she cried out in horror: "You can't say it, don't mention that name." ”
Su Changan narrowed his eyes.
The woman's wife whispered, "The 'Bloody Hand' is an old legend in our village, and every few years, a heavy fog descends and covers the whole village. At this time, a bloody handprint will appear on the door, window, wall, and even the head of the bed of some people's homes for some reason. Once this bloody handprint appears, someone in this family will surely be miserable. ”
Pointing to the little girl's siblings, his voice lowered, "There are bloody handprints on the door of their house, which appear one day, and their parents ...... the next day."
Su Changan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
The "fog" mentioned by the old man is most likely the catastrophe of the fog tide.
And that "bloody hand" is naturally one of the evil that comes with the fog tide.
For ordinary people, these mysterious and evil existences have long been "ancient legends".
Obviously, the so-called "bloody hands" have plagued the old man's village more than once, but the interval is longer and the span is larger, compared to the short life span of human beings.
As a result, they failed to learn any lessons from it, leaving behind only terrifying legends.
Su Changan couldn't help but think: "Will those evil spirits that plague them follow them all the way?"
Just about to ask carefully.
I heard Master Mingchen cough dryly, and then shouted loudly: "Donors, please be quiet." ”
At this moment, Su Guanren was standing beside Master Mingchen, he had discussed with Master Mingchen just now, and the two of them had obviously made up their minds and decided how to deal with these refugees.
Master Mingchen: "The meditation room in our temple has long been full, and there are no spare rooms. But don't worry, because many years ago, because of the outbreak of floods, the displaced people were lost, and our temple raised funds to build a village at the foot of the mountain, which can accommodate 500 people, and has clean well water. Please follow this master to the village, and he will settle you. ”
A big monk walked out and waved his hand: "Keep up, don't get lost." ”
Su Changan saw this, but there was no trace of surprise.
Of course, there are still some empty rooms in the Red Lotus Temple, which are enough to accommodate dozens of people, but with the Su family here, they will definitely not allow these refugees to live in.
What if these people come with the plague?
What if there is something unclean hidden among these people?
What if these people suddenly riot?
Moreover, a group of untouchables, what qualifications do they have to eat and live with Su Fu?
Su Guanren fully showed what it means to be rich and unkind, Master Mingchen is not good at disobeying him, and he himself has a lot of concerns, so he simply pushed the boat down the river and made such an arrangement.
And the manor under the mountain, Su Changan had seen it before.
Zhuangzi is surrounded by high walls, the inner courtyard is spacious, but it is untended all year round, the weeds are high, and most of the houses are in disrepair, covered with dust and cobwebs, rats coming in and out, leaking rain and wind.
But for these homeless refugees, it is a rare place to live.
Night falls.
After Su Changan had dinner, he looked down the mountain from afar, only to see the firelight surging, and sometimes there was a commotion.
Apparently, that estate has been inaugurated.
Following.
Su Changan woke up in vain, listened attentively, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside.
Get dressed and go out.
The sky was just dawning.
The cardinal had just woken up, wearing a nightgown, rubbing his eyes and yawning, and was looking towards the temple gate, where many figures were shaking.
Su Changan asked, "What's wrong?"
Cardinal: "I don't know. Slave, go and ask. ”
Su Changan saw that she was disheveled, so he said, "No, I just want to take a walk." ”
When she came to the temple gate, she saw a woman kneeling on the ground, crying very sadly, tears streaming down her face, and she was still holding a little boy of three or four years old in her arms, and the little boy seemed to be frightened, his eyes were gray, and he did not say a word.
Outside, there was a circle of refugees, all with solemn faces.
Su Changan took a closer look and found that this woman was a little familiar, and she was the daughter-in-law of the young man yesterday.
Master Mingchen was also at the scene, constantly reassuring the woman and inquiring carefully about the situation.
The woman wept and cried.
It turned out that after the refugees lived in the manor stone house last night, the hard work of the long journey, and the fear all turned into deep exhaustion, and everyone fell asleep early.
The same is true of the young man's family, who almost fell asleep on their heads.
Unexpectedly, early this morning, the woman woke up in a daze, and found that the man was not around, so she went out to look for it.
Then she heard the voice of the young man coming faintly from the well in the courtyard.
The woman's face turned pale with fright, and when she went to the well, she saw that her man was soaked in water, belly up, with a strange smile on his face, looking straight at her, oozing to death.
The woman almost fainted with fright, screaming in terror and waking everyone up.
However, when everyone gathered and carefully inspected the well, they did not see the young man, and then they searched everywhere, but they did not find the young man.
In the process of searching for someone, someone found a bloody handprint on the outer wall of the manor.
After hearing this, Master Mingchen's expression was instantly solemn, he looked around at everyone, and suddenly found that Su Changan was also there, and said solemnly: "Donor, this matter is big, if there is really an evil in the manor, ordinary people can't solve it, and the old man asks you to help." ”
Su Changan groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Master Mingchen was overjoyed, and took everyone down the mountain to check the specific situation at the manor.
Su Changan found that Lin Qitian was also in the team, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, are you going too?"
Lin Qitian sighed: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but these people are as miserable as me, I, I really can't sit idly by." ”
Su Changan nodded.
The group came to the outside of the manor and first went to the place where the bloody handprints appeared.
I saw a bright red handprint on a high gray wall, dripping with blood, and blood dripping down.
Su Changan compared, the bloody handprint was not big, like a child's hand.
The point is, this bloody handprint actually has six fingers!
And the moment Su Changan saw the bloody handprint, a wonderful voice sounded in his head.
