Chapter 19: The Haunting of Yizhuang (I)
"Click~" There was a soft sound again in the hall of the black hole, accompanied by a strange sound, just like the sound of someone chewing when eating, but the sound of people chewing should not be so loud, but more like the sound of hyenas that Li Zhang had seen when he was in Africa in his previous life.
Of course, if it is an animal, Li Zhang may not be afraid, but the key here is Yizhuang, there are several unburied corpses stored in the hall, although Li Zhang has always advertised himself as a materialist, but not believing it does not mean that he is not afraid, it is nothing to let him check a corpse in broad daylight, but this black light is blind, and such a strange sound was found inside, and Li Zhang was also frightened all over his body.
When Li Zhang watched horror movies in his previous life, he often encountered some characters who died, such as hearing something in the dark, even if there was only a candle in his hand, he had to take the candle to see what was going on, and the result was usually a head to the other party, and every time this time, he would complain that the characters in it were too stupid.
Of course Li Zhang would not die, I saw him look around, and then returned to the room with a strange sound that made people's scalps tingle, pushed the door in and immediately plugged in the deadbolt with his backhand, and also put the door bar behind the door, after making sure that the door could not be opened from the outside, he took the oil lamp and checked the window, as well as all corners of the room, until he found nothing abnormal, then he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
It's not that Li Zhang is timid, but he has made an optimal choice, no matter what is in the hall, he shouldn't check it now, not to mention supernatural creatures such as ghosts and zombies, and he will definitely not be able to run away when he sees it.
Of course, it may also be a person or an animal, if a person, this midnight run to the hall full of corpses, either rape or theft, or brain problems, of course, the possibility of animals is greater, although there are no fierce beasts around Kaifeng City, but there are many wild dogs, Li Zhang is still a child, the injury on his feet is not good, he really can't fight when he encounters wild dogs, in case it is a rabid dog with rabies, a bite will definitely die, after all, there is no rabies vaccine in this era, and as long as rabies attacks, it is almost a 100% mortality rate.
So whether it is a human, a beast or a ghost inside, Li Zhang's best choice is to find a safe place to hide, and wait until dawn to talk about it, everyone understands such a simple truth, as for those who die in horror movies, it is nothing more than the film director deliberately depressed the character's IQ in order to pursue the effect, and ordinary people rarely die like this.
But even if the doors and windows are closed, Li Zhang is still a little worried, all kinds of demons and monsters in the movies in his previous life are staged in his mind in turn, he lived in Yizhuang before, and the old people in the hall have always been very honest, but today there are constant strange noises in the hall, Li Zhang only found out at this time, believe it or not is one thing, and whether you are afraid or not is another thing!
stayed up like this until the second half of the night, Li Zhang fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, he found that Tanuki was lying on his chest looking at him, with a pair of big eyes full of curiosity.
"What's the matter, what are you doing looking at me?" Li Zhang blinked at this time and said, I was too tired yesterday, and I didn't sleep in the middle of the night because I was scared by that strange sound, and now I feel soreness all over my body, and I guess I can't slow down for a day.
"Big brother, what are you doing with me, I can't get up even if I want to." The raccoon dog asked innocently with big eyes, and it was only then that Li Zhang realized that his hands were holding the raccoon dog tightly, no wonder she couldn't get up lying on her chest.
"Ahem, this...... Maybe it was a little cold last night! Li Zhang hurriedly let go of his hand and said embarrassedly, he remembered that he was too scared last night, so he took the raccoon dog in his arms and slept together, after all, the raccoon dog is too young, and there is nothing to avoid suspicion, when it was too cold in winter before, the raccoon dog slept with him like this, of course, for the sake of his own face as a big brother, he would not admit it if he died.
"Is it cold?" Tanuki looked at the sunlight outside the window suspiciously, it's March now, even at night, you only need to cover a thin quilt, how can you feel cold?
"It's dawn, get up quickly, we have to stand up today!" Li Zhang was afraid that the raccoon dog would ask again, so he immediately diverted the topic, jumped out of bed first, and then opened the door and walked outside the yard, only to see that the beans had already come, and they were packing up their things and preparing to go out of the stall, and even the pigs were bought and washed.
"Big brother, why did you get up, I am on credit when I go into the water, Butcher Wang promised me a monthly settlement, and there are also pig's feet, pig's head, and pig's tail that you want, and the rest is easy to do, but we won't clean up the pig's head?" Douzi saw Li Zhang come out, and hurriedly ran forward.
"I'll clean up the pig's head, let's go out of the stall together!" Li Zhang immediately opened his head, yesterday they mainly sold brine water, and now there are more leftovers such as pig's head and pig's feet, anyway, the cost is not high, and it is also delicious, it should be very popular.
However, as soon as Li Zhang's words fell, he suddenly showed a hesitant expression, and then pulled the beans aside and whispered: "Too much money is also a little troublesome, we are all out of the stall, I am afraid that someone will steal so much money at home." ”
During this time, Li Zhang and they earned a lot of money, adding up to about more than five times, that is, more than five thousand copper coins, these copper coins are bulky, five times the money has dozens of catties, before the money was small, you can take it out of the stall together, but now it is too heavy, you can't take it out at all, and it is not safe to put it at home, so Li Zhang wants to discuss it with the beans.
"This is simple, we are here in Yizhuang, big brother, if you feel unsafe, just put the copper money in the coffin of the main hall, I don't believe that anyone dares to find money from the coffin!" Douzi immediately came up with a solution, when the weather was too cold in the past, he and Huozi and his gang slept in the main hall, so he thought of this way.
Li Zhang also felt reliable when he heard this method, but then showed a hesitant expression, and hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "Douzi, when you slept in the main hall before, did you hear any strange noises?" ”
"What's the noise?" Douzi was stunned.
"It's the clattering sound, and the sound of some beast eating?" Li Zhang asked again, last night really scared him a lot, if it wasn't for the fact that he really had nowhere to go, I'm afraid he would have moved a long time ago.
"No, big brother, did you hear that?" Douzi also showed an excited expression at this time, mixed with a bit of fear, exactly like the expression of a child when listening to ghost stories.
"Well, after sending you out last night, I heard a voice in the hall when I came back, but I couldn't see clearly the black lights inside, so I didn't go in." Li Zhang didn't say what he was afraid of, after all, the eldest brother's face still had to be maintained.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go in and take a look, even if it is really haunted, it will not dare to appear during the day!" Douzi turned around and was about to enter the main hall to check, Li Zhang had already wanted to go in, but after waking up, he was pestered by Douzi to talk, and he never found a chance, so he also walked towards the main hall with Douzi at this time.
"Big brother, the meal is ready, hurry up and eat!" But at this moment, the ugly lady who had been busy in the kitchen shouted to them, now that it was dawn, they had to go to the dock early after eating, and although there were not many people who bought the water in the morning, they also had to rush to the dock early to get ready.
"Got it, you eat first, I'll be here soon!" Li Zhang agreed, and then entered the main hall with Douzi.
Now it's just dawning, the light in the hall is still a little dim, but it doesn't affect the sight, here is the hall, in fact, it's a big room, there is a statue standing at the door, but the upper body of the statue has collapsed, and the oil paint has also fallen off, and I can't see which god was enshrined here before?
On both sides of the main hall, there are three or four coffins, the coffins are not painted, three on the left, four on the right, most of them have corpses inside, and it has been many years, it is said that they are some unsolved cases, because the case is not solved, the corpse is not claimed by relatives, and the yamen is not allowed to throw it, so it can only be stored like this.
Douzi was not afraid at all, after all, he had lived here before, and after coming in, he walked around the hall twice, and even looked behind the statue, and then said to Li Zhang with a puzzled face: "Big brother, it seems that there is nothing?" ”
"Shh~" Li Zhang suddenly made a silent hand gesture to Douzi at this time, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground, which made Douzi stunned for a moment, and then looked down, and found that because no one came in the hall for a long time, the ground also fell a layer of dust, and his footprints just now were also very clear, but in addition to his and Li Zhang's footprints, there were other people's footprints on the ground.
Li Zhang also walked over lightly at this time, and then squatted down to observe these footprints, these are very similar to human footprints, but they are surprisingly large, and he is not wearing shoes, but now although the weather is warm, the ground is still very cold, even beggars will wrap their feet in rags, and it is rare to see anyone walking barefoot.
The footprints on the ground were very messy, Li Zhang lowered his head and followed these footprints twice, and finally found that the footprints suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly looked up, but he was startled, because a coffin appeared in front of him, as if the person who left the footprints finally entered the coffin.
"Big ...... Big brother, no...... It can't be that there are zombies, right? Douzi followed at this time, and when he saw the footprints disappear in front of the coffin, he couldn't help but chatter his teeth in fright.
"In broad daylight, don't be afraid of even zombies!" Li Zhang said that he was about to push open the lid of the coffin, he didn't want to be scared at night, so it was better to check it out now.
However, Li Zhang tried his best but failed to push the coffin lid, and then found that the coffin lid had already been nailed shut, which made him take a breath, since the coffin lid had been nailed shut, how did the owner of the footprints disappear, could it be that there was really a ghost?
