Chapter 65: Three Visits to the Thatched House, Life and Death (3)

"When we go out, don't talk nonsense, and be careful that trouble comes out of our mouths."

"Boss, you're too careful, can't you just talk about it," the people walking on the side disagreed with Yuan Peng's point of view, they thought so, now it is a peaceful society, a harmonious society, if someone says the wrong thing, someone will come out and kill them, so he said his own opinion.

"You see this barren mountain and wilderness, and this village is not inhabited, so where did the mother-in-law who sat at the door of the village and sharpen her rusty kitchen knife come from, don't you think these are very abnormal? Weimen Village is weird and abnormal, good luck and bad luck are unpredictable, and there is nothing wrong with being careful in everything. ”

They walked down the road, and the houses on both sides were silent in the night, but they were empty and uninhabited, and now their main thought was to settle down as soon as possible, so that they could be safe. These houses are built on the mountain, and in the middle are the roads that go up and down, and the mountainside is the old house that the old woman said, and the flashlight in their hands shines on the road in front of them, and the flashlight shoots towards the old house on the mountainside. After rounding a house, they walked towards the old house on the mountainside, and in front of them was a sloping road paved with stone slabs, surrounded by small bamboo forests. The stone pavement is covered with moss. Yuan Peng turned to the four people behind him and said, "You have to be careful, the road under your feet is slippery." ”

"Boss, we know, you have to be careful," they slowly walked up to each other, and came to the courtyard, which was overgrown with weeds, covering their knees, and it was evident that it had been uninhabited for a long time, and that part of the earthen walls of the house had collapsed, and when they walked in, it was a mess, and the pillars and beams were covered with cobwebs, which they waved with one hand and sat in the hall. Some people picked up some dry wood in the back room and started a fire, and there were no tiles on one side of the beams to cover it, and the tiles that fell on the ground became fragments and scattered in the grass, and when you looked up, you could see the starry sky. They sat around the fire, looking at each other, and the wind howled like a terrible roar outside the broken door.

"Boss, you said that when we passed by that wood, we saw those white bones scattered among the grass, I don't know why?" Everyone sat by the fire, sitting around Yuan Peng, and the scene they saw in the Forest of Death was full of questions. With this kind of question, they came to this old mansion in the middle of the mountain, and took advantage of the time to sit down and rest to ask Yuan Peng, they may think that Yuan Peng is well-informed, and they may have an answer to this.

"I don't know anything about the bones in these woods, I don't know anything about them, and I guess that maybe they, like us, got lost in the woods and didn't go out, and there are many miasma in the forest, and no one knows about dying here," Yuan Peng said to them after pondering for a moment.

"I don't think it's that simple," they said, sitting next to the fire, presumably hungry at this time, and took some crispy noodles and other food from their backpacks to fill their stomachs. Yuan Peng faced them while eating crisp noodles, and said: "From the time we entered that forest to Yimen Village, we felt that these places were very weird, I can't say what they were, we will leave here early tomorrow morning, this is probably not a place to stay for a long time." ”

"Well, entering that woods is like entering a labyrinth, how can we get out?"

"Go back to the mountains, avoid the woods, and find a way to the town."

After midnight, they lay on straw as a bed, and their coats were quilted, and their snoring was incessant, and they must have soon fallen asleep. They rushed from Shanghai to Yunnan, where they had not slept well for several days, and their bodies were tired. As soon as the body was tired, he fell asleep. At this time, the sound of sharpening knives came from outside the house, and one of them was awakened by the sound of sharpening knives from outside the house, and sat up among the straws, which seemed to come from the courtyard outside the house, and the sound was very clear. Here the yin qi is very heavy and I dare not go out, and I have the habit of nocturia, so I wake up my colleagues who are sleeping next to me.

"Wang Bin, Wang Bin, wake up," the colleague who was sleeping next to him sat up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Why did you wake me up in the middle of the night." ”

"Did you hear the sound of sharpening knives, it's just outside."

"Did you hear it wrong, where is the sound of sharpening knives," no matter how his colleague listened, there was only the sound of the wind and no sound of sharpening knives. At this time, the sound of sharpening the knife was gone, and he had been wondering, could this be his own delusion, and buried his head again, and said, "It's convenient to go out with me," and suddenly felt a little shy, and even the words he said were very small and vague.

"What did you say?"

He raised his head to face the colleague sitting in front of him, and said, "Go out with me to pee, urgent." ”

His colleague immediately stretched out his finger and said, "Shhh Hush! Be quiet, don't you want to wake them up? His colleague put on his coat and looked at him behind him, and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Good, good," he said, getting up and walking out with his colleague, and as he descended the hill to the open place, looking up at the full moon in the sky, which was particularly bright, and the earth was silvery white. He looked at the full moon hanging above and said, "The moon is so big and round tonight. ”

"Aren't you going to pee? Hurry up, we're going back. After his colleague finished speaking, he looked behind him, feeling that this place was eerie and intimidating. At this moment, in the forest of death below came the singing of a woman (singing in the middle of the night), and her voice was long and desolate, like the cry of a woman. His colleague immediately said: "There is a ghost in this place, let's go back and tell the boss quickly." The man's urine hadn't finished spilling and he went back, hugging his pants and preparing to leave. In the secluded forest behind her, a woman in white faintly appeared, and her clothes fluttered on her face with fat powder, like a fairy descending to the earth, which was particularly charming. The woman walked out of the dark woods, her green silk shawl hair like clouds, ancient and elegant, and her smile like a rainbow made his eyes glazed, as if she had hooked his soul. "Yang Bo, Yang Bo, let's go." He suddenly came to his senses, because he was too quick to slip, rolled down, and never climbed up, his colleagues went down the mountain road to look for it, but there was no one to see, began to panic, and ran back to the old house.

"Oh no, something's wrong, there's an accident," called out his colleague as he ran through the door, this time frightened and panicked.

Yuan Peng and the other two were awakened, got up and walked forward, and said, "Wang Bin, what happened?" ”

"There are ghosts here, there are ghosts here."

"What's going on? You say slowly, don't worry," Yuan Peng turned to look behind him, didn't find Yang Bo, and said, "Why didn't Yang Bo come back?" The two people next to him stepped forward to face Wang Bin and said, "What about Yang Bo?" ”

"When Yang Bo and I went to the back mountain, we found a female ghost in the back mountain, we were both very afraid, Yang Bo accidentally slipped down, I went down this mountain road to find people who did not find Yang Bo."

"Zhou Yuan, Li Yong, let's go find it together. Wang Bin, you just stay here, don't go out. ”

Yuan Peng walked out with the two of them, holding a flashlight in his hand, and shot around, leaving Wang Bin alone to sit in the straw pile, looking around, his expression was a little flustered. Yuan Peng and the other two walked out and stood in the courtyard and looked at the back mountain. A person next to him said, "Do you want me to call Wang Bin, because he knows where Yang Bo happened." ”

"No, he's also frightened and delirious, so it's safer for him to stay in the hall."

"Boss, do you think there really is a ghost?"

"Okay, don't scare yourself, it's important for us to find someone, Wang Bin said that it is convenient for them to go to the back mountain together, I don't think they will go very far, you have to follow closely, don't just get separated, I think this village is not simple." They searched around and stretched this path to find the back mountain, shining around with flashlight light, the grass here has traces of being crushed, presumably Yang Bo accidentally slipped from here, they extended this path down to find, this is the slope, not high, why is a big living person gone? Surrounded by dense forests, they walked towards the dense forests and entered, and descended the mountain to the entrance of this village. When they came, they saw an old lady sitting in front of the village gate sharpening her knife, but now she was gone. When Yuan Peng was thinking about this matter, a person next to him said: "Boss, could it be that an old woman did it?" ”

"I think it's possible, as soon as I entered the door, I felt that something was wrong with the old woman, but I couldn't tell what was wrong."

Walking down from the village is a forest, a vast forest, if you walk into this forest is like entering a labyrinth, no matter how you walk, you can't get out. Yuan Peng and the other two went down the mountain to stand in front of this vast forest, and just as they were wondering, from this forest came a woman's song, singing in the middle of the night, this song was so mournful and like a desolate cry.

"Listen, Boss, this singing."

"I hear it," the song sounded terrible. At this time, an old lady walked out of this forest, turned to face them with a very strange smile, and then walked towards the depths of this forest.

"Boss, look, which old woman," one of them pointed out, with a look of surprise on his face.

"I see it, you guys keep up." Yuan Peng walked up quickly, the two followed closely behind, and the three of them walked into the forest together. Wang Bin sat alone in the straw pile, his eyes have been looking at the dilapidated main hall door, walked forward to close the door and dragged a very thick pillar to hold it up, and returned to the straw pile, looking left and right, his cold sweat broke out, sometimes there was a yin wind blowing, he felt that there was a pair of blood-bright eyes behind him looking at him, from time to time he felt that his safety was threatened, he was particularly vigilant, even if there were footsteps outside the house, he heard it clearly, and walked out of the gate for a while to peek through the broken door, Look outside the door to see if there is anyone, and look up at the full moon in the night sky for a while. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of someone banging on the door, Wang Bin retreated and sat down in the straw pile, staring at the door with dull eyes, and heard a strange laugh from nowhere. The two eyes have been looking intently at the earthen wall behind him, and there are blood stains slowly seeping out of the earthen wall, which is getting thicker and thicker, and finally highlights a grimace, the eyes are sunken and his complexion is pale, and there is blood flowing under it, and the mouth of the blood basin is full of fangs, and the screaming sound makes his scalp tingle suddenly, and he kicks the earthen wall like he is crazy, and the earthen wall is already crumbling, and he kicks it down with a few feet. There was a startling knock on the door, and both doors fell at the same time, and dust was thrown in all directions. At this time, a man walked outside the gate, ragged, with long hair draped, a face that was dark and beginning to rot, the skin at the corners of his mouth was rotten only by flesh, and his eyes were protruding and blood-red. Wang Bin sat limply in the straw pile, and the yin thing stepped forward to tear Wang Bin apart and eat him alive, and finally only one head fell to the ground and rolled.
