Chapter 2: A Strange Letter
At the moment when Dabiao turned his head, a muffled bang came down my skull and into my ears, and the sharp pain pulled me out of the nightmare.
A little,It's almost possible to see what's behind you.,I secretly said it's a pity.,But there's no way.,I don't know how many times I've done this dream for more than ten years.,Every time it's stuck in the most critical place.,Last time I dreamed of a bull-nosed Taoist.,Finally, I woke up in the same place.。
I rubbed the big bag on my head that had been knocked up by the window, and found that the car had stopped, and the whole body was tilting at an unnatural angle, apparently the wheels were in the pit.
Lin Qiaoer, who was in the driver's seat, looked out of the car window in a little panic, I patted her, signaled her not to worry, and then turned on the flashlight and got out of the car to check. After a little inspection, I felt bad, and I saw that more than half of the right front wheel of the car was stuck in the pit, wrapped in slippery mud, and I couldn't move.
Such mud pits may not be common for people who live in the city all year round, but in remote rural areas, the basic rural roads are mixed with broken mud and stones, which cannot withstand the pressure, and it is easy to be pressed out of deep ruts after a long time.
Growing up in the countryside, I know how powerful this mud pit is, and if it's a light ox cart, it's fine, but if a bulky car gets stuck in it, there's really nothing you can do. Besides, the broken Wuling we drove has been in service with the newspaper for six or seven years, and it has long since aged, and the more we struggle, the deeper it will only sink deeper and deeper like in a swamp.
"Sister Qiao'er, we're in trouble!" I waved my hand and said helplessly to Lin Qiao'er in the car.
Lin Qiaoer is a senior sister I met in college, and during college, because of an accident, this beautiful woman who is often surrounded by many suitors and I became good friends who talked about everything. After graduating, I joined her newspaper and was arranged to work as an assistant reporter next to her, and the familiar relationship and tacit cooperation made us an excellent pair, and this time, because I offended the deputy editor of a small belly chicken intestine of the newspaper, I was arranged to do an investigation and interview in a remote place in Yunnan.
Seeing that I didn't seem to be joking, Lin Qiaoer also got out of the car, and after seeing the situation clearly, she couldn't help but look depressed.
The night was very dark, and through the headlights, the weeds and dense thorns on both sides of the road could be faintly seen, and there was no human habit. In such a situation, I can only consider myself unlucky, it is impossible to find someone to help in this wilderness, and besides, what time is it...... Wait, what time is it, I subconsciously looked at the time, and found that it was already more than twelve o'clock in the morning, I couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly pulled Lin Qiaoer up and retracted into the car.
"What's wrong?" Probably confused by my sudden actions and the nervous expression on my face, Lin Qiaoer looked at me with a puzzled expression.
Sigh! I made a silent gesture, then turned off the lights, and looked around the car a few times to make sure there was nothing, and then I breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from my head.
At this moment, Lin Qiao'er suddenly grabbed my ear and said with an unhappy face: "Say, what's wrong?" ”
She used a lot of strength, I bared my teeth in pain, but I didn't dare to make too much noise, so I hurriedly lowered my voice and said, "Let go, Sister Qiao'er, you let go first!" ”
Lin Qiao'er glanced at me, pouted and snorted softly, then let go, I rubbed my hot ears, my head was big for a while, and I didn't know how to explain.
Since the accident in my hometown ten years ago, my family has strictly forbidden me to go out after the child, and warned me that there will be terrible consequences after violating the ban. At first, I didn't think so, but at that time, I was young and my family was very well watched, and it was not until I attended a classmate's birthday party after college that I realized what the terrible consequences were in my family's mouth.
I can still remember the experience of that night vividly, even after three years. The madness of the night lasted until eleven o'clock, and the dorms were closed at half-past eleven, and by the time we had sent the girls back to the dormitory, it was already past twelve.
The dormitory was closed, and for fear of disciplinary action, we decided not to disturb the dormitory management, but instead chose to sneak in through a low wall behind the dormitory. The plan went well, the six of us went to the three, and when it was my turn, just as I had just climbed the wall and was about to jump, there was a sudden flower in front of me, and then, I was shocked to find that the three people who went in first were completely gone, but there were more than a dozen headless people under the wall.
They were terrifyingly shaped, covered in black mist, and from time to time there were countless tiny black threads coiled around the gap between their shoulders, pulling them down the wall. I was frightened, yelling, and at the same time turned to jump off, but a scene that made my heart break happened, the path that should have been two people turned into a dormitory, and the headless corpses of the forest staggered in.
I turned around again in shock, but I saw the same thing. I turned back and forth like crazy, as if I was caught in an invisible cycle of terror, and no matter which way I jumped, I was greeted by ghostly headless corpses. Gradually, my head began to hurt, and at the same time, there was a tearing pain in my right wrist, I looked down, a black line slowly climbed up my wrist, like a poisonous snake, winding and coiling, and the headless corpse under the low wall also poured under the wall, a hand full of black gas grabbed my ankle, pulled me down, I screamed, wailed, and gradually disappeared.
When I woke up, I was in the hospital, mentally and physically dulled, and I couldn't remember what had happened that night, and this went on for a long time, and my family was all coming in one after another. After that, I was taken back to my hometown to live with my grandmother for half a year, and after going through a lot of unspeakable things, I was sent back to school. Of course, that's another story, and I'll tell that later.
After I returned to school, I learned from my classmates about what had happened that night. It turned out that after the first three people went in that night, they suddenly heard a clicking sound from the door of the building, and they thought that the dormitory manager had heard the movement and came to check, so they hid, and then they heard my shouting, and out of righteous anger, they also walked out. But when they saw me, they were all shocked. In their words, I was really like a demon, shouting and screaming, while showing an indescribable strange expression, as if laughing instead of laughing, as if crying instead of crying, tears and ha's mouth flowed, and the most terrifying thing was that they saw another strange shadow in me.
That's where the weirdness of things comes in, we were divided into three waves, three inside the wall, two outside the wall, and then I on the wall. It stands to reason that the three people inside the wall saw my strange expressions and movements, and the people outside the wall could only see my back, but they said that they also saw the strange expression I had in front of them.
After that, I screamed and fell off the wall, and the noise alarmed the dormitory manager, and I was taken to the hospital, and because of that incident, all the dorm buddies were punished.
Seeing that I hesitated and didn't speak, Lin Qiaoer frowned, and was about to pinch my ears again, I hurriedly dodged, helpless, so I briefly told the experience as a story. I didn't think that before I could finish speaking, my ears were grabbed again.
"Hey, hey! My aunt, what's going on? I wailed helplessly, and the tension and fear had eased a lot.
"You don't scare people, and you have no headless corpses, why don't you just say zombies, hum, stinky Xiaoyi, dare to lie to me!"
I really don't know what to say now, if it weren't for the experience in my hometown, I wouldn't believe it, but if she doesn't believe it, at least tonight she won't have to worry as much as I do.
Seeing that I bared my teeth in pain, Lin Qiaoer sneered, let go of her hand and rubbed my ears, and asked me if it hurt. I was trembling, for fear that she was hiding a knife in her smile, and she was busy saying that it didn't hurt.
Lin Qiao'er smiled and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, my sister won't ask!" ”
I smiled helplessly, but I didn't know how to answer, and just like that, there was silence in the car. The night was dark, and looking at the darkness outside the car window, I thought to myself that if there is no moon, then the moon will not be established!
While comforting myself, I focused my attention around, until about two o'clock in the morning, the tiredness of driving all the way made my eyelids fight, I turned my head to look at Lin Qiaoer, and found that she was looking at a few things, full of energy.
I yawned, leaned over to look at it, and found that it was an open letter, so I laughed and teased: "Sister Qiao'er, is this a love letter?" ”
She glanced at me, shook the envelope in her hand, and said, "Have you ever seen such a terrible love letter, this letter was given to me by Yang Bian temporarily before we set off, and it is also the task of our investigation this time!" ”
As she spoke, she handed me the letter with a strange expression, as if there was something in the letter that she couldn't understand. I took the letter, and in my heart I retaliated with the whole family of the fat, bald, and small-bellied deputy editor-in-chief, and then turned my attention to the letter.
The letter is only one page, and when Lin Qiaoer handed it to me, it was already folded, and I couldn't see the content, but it wouldn't be too much, and what made people feel uncomfortable was the envelope. This is a kind of homemade envelope, as black as ink, with plain traditional white characters on it, and a large 'Dian' character printed on the back of the envelope, exuding an indescribable strange smell.
My first reaction when I saw this envelope was that it must have been done deliberately by Fat Yang in order to disgust me, that dead fat man was notoriously stingy in the newspaper, and the last time I accidentally spilled tea on his bald head, he must have hated him. However, Lin Qiaoer's next words dispelled my thoughts.
"This letter was sent to the newspaper office, you take a closer look at the address on it!"
Hearing her say this, I realized that the information on the envelope was really filled in, but I was completely attracted by the strangeness of the envelope just now, and I didn't look closely.
The contents of the envelope are fairly concise and read as follows:
Sender: Zhang Juming
Place of shipment: Fengyang
To: The descendants of the Zhang family
Recipient Address: None
Looking at the information on the envelope, I wondered even more, did I think there was such a letter? Don't talk about a gloomy envelope, it's just a matter of not writing all the sender places, but what's going on with the recipient and the recipient's address? Zhang's descendants, you must know that this surname Zhang is the third largest surname in the world, and there are more people with the surname Zhang in the world, if you don't write your full name and address, how can you send it? If everyone sends letters like this, then the postman doesn't have to do it, and he can just change careers to become a detective.
However, it is not impossible that the envelope was neither stamped nor postmarked, and it may not have been sent by post office or courier, but was forwarded by an acquaintance.
The whole letter consisted of only a piece of paper and a photograph, and as I was accustomed to, I opened the letter first, and as I expected, the content of the letter was pitiful.
The letterhead reads as follows:
Ling Jin Wu Ji, the mystery of Yeling is difficult to solve for a while, and the curse is approaching, Uncle Yu has decided to explore the secret letter in order to fight for a chance to survive. In addition, there is a shocking horror hidden in Yeling, if you are not completely sure, do not enter lightly, ask it! Uncle Yu, April 1984.
"Shhh As soon as I read the contents of this letter, I was shocked and couldn't help but gasp. It's not because of the endless content of this letter, but because the name appears twice in a row in these few lines—Yeling!
