Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Night of Horror
With the blessing of these three strange Gus, people who don't know the reason regard the fourth uncle as a strange person with natural divine power.
Therefore, the fourth uncle is not only my relative, but also my life-saving benefactor, which is another reason why I am particularly close to him.
The fourth uncle has stayed in the village since he was a child, and after the eldest uncle, the third uncle and my father moved out one after another, he was left alone to take care of his grandmother at home, taking care of the few acres of thin fields left by his grandfather.
Because the fourth uncle is relatively honest, although he treats people sincerely, he doesn't like to talk very much, which also leads to the fact that he has not married a daughter-in-law yet. No, the last time I came back, the fourth uncle ran to another village because of family affairs, otherwise how could those Heavenly Witch Sect people control the entire village so easily.
Thinking about the past with the fourth uncle, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic, and suddenly I am a little worried in my heart.
Fortunately, not long after Grandma went out, there was a noisy sound in the courtyard, and it seemed that the Taoist priests had all crowded into the courtyard and were talking.
Listening to the content of their conversation, the fourth uncle has returned, and the harvest is not small, but he himself has been injured a little.
Their conversation didn't last long before the fourth uncle asked about me, and after my grandmother told him that I was in my room, I heard steady footsteps walk into the hall and walk towards my room.
Soon, the fourth uncle's straight face appeared in front of me, but I was suddenly startled, because the fourth uncle's face was covered with blood, and the clothes on his body were also rotten, especially on his chest, the clothes were almost broken into strips of cloth, revealing strong chest muscles, and there were still a few blood marks hanging on it, faintly revealing some black gas.
Seeing this, I exclaimed in shock: "Damn, fourth uncle, are you okay?" How did it come to this? β
The fourth uncle looked at his embarrassed appearance, scratched his head, and smiled: "It's okay, I don't know how to do it on the way back, I bumped into a few mandrills, was sneak attacked, and fell a few small holes, these blood are prey, I'm fine, just sleep." β
I said in my heart that this was the case, with the physique of the fourth uncle, with the blessing of the stone Gu, even if it was a leopard, it would be impossible for him to be injured like this, but if it was a mandrill, then it would be able to explain it. β
However, when I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong, the last time I went back to the village, there was also a ghost mandrill that harmed people, as well as the inexplicable appearance of the vamphivorous vine and the mysterious mist.
Later, I learned from the Taoist priest that the appearance of these things was probably related to the Yin Spirit Passage, and when the fog cleared, everything returned to normal, although there were still some people missing in the fog, but at least there were no more terrible things near the village, why was the fourth uncle attacked by the mandrill again?
"Fourth uncle, apart from today, have you ever been in the mountains recently, and if so, have you ever encountered a mandrill before? Or has anything happened in the village? β
The fourth uncle scratched his head, thought about it, shook his head and said, "Go into the mountain, but you have to go in once a week, and I haven't met the mandrill." β
"What about the village? Has anything happened lately? β
This time, the fourth uncle did not pause, and immediately said: "Out!" He nodded affirmatively, and then continued: "Some time ago, I came to several groups of public families, two of which were searching the mountains to find people, and one group of archaeologists, and they also came to our house several times. β
I was stunned, "Archaeology? What are the archaeologists doing here, what are they doing here? β
The fourth uncle shook his head and said, "I also know this, they are here to find your grandmother." β
Now I'm even more confused, if it's a special department like the third uncle who finds grandma, I can still understand, but this archaeology, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't have anything to do with grandma!
The specific situation of the fourth uncle is not clear, because the archaeological expert who came to the door at that time had a secret conversation with his grandmother, and the content of the conversation was not revealed by his grandmother, and the fourth uncle was not a person who liked to get to the bottom of the matter, so he never asked his grandmother about it.
After I chatted with the fourth uncle for a while, he went to deal with the blood stains on his body.
The fourth uncle was gone, but I fell into a deep uneasiness. Putting aside the secret talk between the archaeologists and my grandmother, just talking about the reappearance of the mandrill made me feel a bad premonition.
If the last ghost mandrill and the vampire vine were the precursors of the Yin Spirit Passage, then this time the Ghost Mandrill appeared again, does it mean that another Yin Spirit Passage will occur soon?
And the omen of the last appearance of the ghost mandrill happened to be after I came back, and this time the ghost mandrill also appeared suddenly after I returned to the village, which made me shudder and think: Perhaps, the last Yin Spirit Passage was triggered by me.
Just when I was thinking about this with anxiety in my heart, Sister Bailing and the Taoist priest walked in, and it turned out that the meal had already been cooked.
The Taoist priest carried me to the hall, facing the table full of fragrant game, I was not very hungry and was suddenly aroused by the gluttony, after a long time of eating and drinking, my body was not as weak as just now.
After eating, it was already past nine o'clock, it was already completely dark, and as soon as the girls had finished cleaning up, the wind blew outside the yard, and a whining sound sounded.
It is not surprising that there is a little wind blowing on a night in the depths of winter, but the sound of the wind is like a woman crying in a low voice, and it has been lingering outside the courtyard wall, giving goosebumps all over your body.
Suddenly, the faces of everyone in the room changed, even grandma was no exception.
Not long ago, when we were in Toast, we already had the strange experience of a hundred ghosts crying at night, but it was somewhat similar to the current situation, but this time there was only one cry outside.
A chill welled up in my heart, and as I listened to the cry, I suddenly felt dizzy in my head, and my eyes became blurry, as if I would fall asleep in a second.
"Xiaoyi, don't sleep!" Suddenly, my grandmother called out to me, and the dizzy feeling disappeared, and I woke up to see the monstrous black vine on my arm struggling violently, as if it was about to emerge from my body.
I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and at this time, my grandmother solemnly ordered Sister Bailing to send me back to the room, and asked me to bring the apocalypse, and told me not to leave easily.
Looking at my grandmother with a solemn expression, my heart also lifted, and I went back to the room without saying a word and lay down.
After Sister Bailing settled me, she left in a hurry, and closed the door by the way, I couldn't hear the movement in the lobby all of a sudden, and my heart was up and down.
Although I don't know exactly what happened, judging from the changes that happened to the curse just now, it is definitely related to the curse of doom.
The movement outside the house didn't disappear because I hid, and I could still hear the strange cry, but the sound didn't have the creepy feeling it had before.
I held the apocalypse in my arms and closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep quickly, as long as I fell asleep, everything outside would be okay with me. A must-read book
Maybe the psychological suggestion was too strong, or maybe the movement outside the house was really too great, until ten o'clock, I still couldn't sleep in bed, not even the slightest sleep.
I couldn't rest assured, so I rolled over and got up and looked through the crack in the door to see what was going on in the hall.
I saw that my grandmother and the doctor were not there, and there were only the fourth uncle, the Taoist priest and Sister Bailing in the hall.
At half-past ten, I finally felt a little sleepy, but at that moment, the whining in the corner suddenly disappeared.
I was relieved to think that the matter was over, but I didn't expect the whining cry to sound again, this time, not outside the wall, but outside the window of my room.
The sudden change scared me enough, for my bed was only a few feet away from the window, and the whimpering sound was almost right next to me, how could I not be frightened.
Listening to the whimpering sound so close to me, my scalp tingled, and I couldn't hold it anymore, so I quickly rolled over and got out of bed, and left the room.
In the lobby, the Taoist priest and Sister Bailing were like a pair of door gods, sitting at the door with a solemn expression, holding the door, seeing me come out, the Taoist priest's face turned dark, and he scolded unceremoniously: "Damn, what are you doing here, isn't this adding to the chaos, get out, hurry back!" β
I ignored the Taoist priest and went straight to Sister Bailing, pointed to the window in my room and said, "Fourth uncle, Sister Bailing, that voice is outside the window, should we go out and see what's going on?" β
Hearing this, Sister Bailing looked into my room, but she didn't speak, took out a small glass bottle from her pocket and handed it to me.
"Rub it on and try it!" Sister Bailing pointed to her eyelids, and I unscrewed the bottle to see that it was a green liquid inside.
At this point, I probably already knew what the liquid was for, and I hesitated a little when I looked at the vial, but finally curiosity prevailed, and I carefully applied the liquid to my eyelids, only to feel cold.
The entrance to the hall was flanked by openwork papier-mΓ’chΓ© windows, and I immediately leaned in and poked a small hole in it to look out.
"Ahh
After just one look, I exclaimed that my legs were a little weak even after taking a few steps back.
I saw that outside the courtyard wall, there were all kinds of translucent black shadows, strange and innumerable, and their terrifying appearance was no less than the eight evil spirits in the L Great Experimental Building.
At this moment, these evil creatures were swarming into the courtyard, and without exception, their hideous and ugly faces had crazy expressions on them, and I almost suffocated at the sight.
The Taoist priest kicked me and smiled: "How is it, bring it up?" There will be more excitement later, are you still planning to go out now? β
I almost regretted my bowels, and I didn't dare to say anything more, so I went back to my room.
The whimpering outside the window continued, and with the scene I had just seen, it was even more unlikely that I would fall asleep,
I could now see spirits because of the strange liquid on my eyes, and as soon as I got back to my room, my eyes swept to a chubby little girl with two pigtails, sitting in the shrine clapping her hands and smiling at me.
I was startled, but then realized that this was the real body of the witch boy. Although I had learned from my grandmother about the witch boy and that she had been protecting me, I still couldn't suppress my fear when I faced her true form, because this little guy was so scary.
The miserable white eyes, the two lines of blood hanging from the corners of the eyes, and the evil smile on the corners of the mouth, just stared at me, stared at me all the time......
I shook my head and took a deep breath, my grandmother told me that there was a reason why Wu Tong was so vicious.
The more terrifying and vicious the statue is, the greater its deterrent power, just like the god of thunder who specializes in collecting evil gods, he looks very vicious, and he doesn't look like a god at all, and the same is true for the statue of the witch boy.
It is precisely because the things I provoke are so terrible that the witch boy statue is so vicious, after all, I am the one who causes the little guy to look like this.
At this time, the little witch boy in the shrine seemed to notice my gaze, and got up clumsily, and walked crookedly towards me, and the walking posture was similar to that of a toddler, but there was some cute feeling.
At this moment, the little girl also stopped, stood on the floor and tilted her head, sucking a finger and looking at me curiously.
We looked at each other, staring at each other, and suddenly, the little girl stretched out her arms, made a gesture to hug, and shouted in a milky voice: "Brother! β
My heart was suddenly melted by this brother, I was no longer afraid, I squatted down, and I wanted to hug her with my arms outstretched.
But at this moment, there was a loud noise in the lobby, as if the door had been slammed open, and then I heard an exclamation from the Taoist priest: "Be careful, come in!" β
There was no sound to answer him, and the next moment, the ghost in the hall was crying, fighting, the Taoist priest's shouting, and Sister Bailing's chanting mantra were mixed together, and the chaos was inextricable, and at the same time, the door of my room was also hit by something, and then I heard the Taoist priest shouting again: "Fourth uncle be careful, guard the door of the house, don't let these things in......"
I have been confused by these movements, the tremor of the door is becoming more and more frequent, and the shouts of the fourth uncle are heard outside the door from time to time, and it is obvious that the fourth uncle is almost unable to hold on.
My arms that I had planned to hold the little witch boy froze, staring nervously at the door that was trembling more and more violently, and my heart was already in my throat, but at this moment, there was also movement from the window of the room.
I heard a bang, the window slammed up, and then slammed down, and as soon as I opened and closed, I caught a glimpse of the situation in the courtyard, and suddenly felt my scalp tingle.
The courtyard wall seems to have been prepared by the grandmother in advance, and a layer of unknown broken wood chips is covered on it, and the evil spirits who climb the wall emit black smoke and scream at the moment they touch the broken wood chips, and many of them who are weaker are directly burned into ashes by the broken wood chips.
It's a pity that there are too many evil spirits outside the wall, and although some of the wood chips are blocked, many of them still climb into the yard.
However, grandma's preparation was not only the debris on the wall, but also the flowers and plants in the yard that grandma carefully tended to every day, all came to life at this moment, and countless small insects crawled out of the ground, blocking the evil that rushed into the yard together with those flowers and plants.
But even so, some of them still broke through Grandma's preparations, and outside the window at this time, there was a terrible black shadow.
