Chapter 17 No Wooden House Is a Grave Bag
Pumpkin saw me standing there motionless, not knowing what I was doing.
"Brother Qin, come over quickly!? You don't want to die......"
However, before I could reply, the flower snake couldn't bear it anymore and really pounced on me.
Its snake body flew in the air, its mouth wide open, and its speed was extremely fast.
Seeing this, I didn't think about it so much, so I directly pulled out the wooden stick in my hand.
"Smack!"
All of a sudden, all of a sudden, the flower snake was knocked out by my stick.
But the venom from its mouth spewed out and almost landed on my face.
It's a good thing it didn't fall on my face, otherwise the trouble would not have been small.
As soon as I hit the blow, I immediately felt confident in my heart.
The flower snake fell on top of a pile of rubble, and seemed to be injured, and its body bulged and writhed a few times.
Seizing the opportunity, and unceremoniously, the wooden stick in my hand smashed into its head one after another.
The muffled sound came from the dark woods, and it was unusually harsh.
I don't know how many hits, but by the time I stopped, the head of the flower snake had already been smashed by me. Many of the scales of the snake's body had fallen off, and the bright red flesh had been turned over, and there were small stones embedded in it.
I was relieved, and I sat down on the ground.
The pumpkin was already stupid when he saw the scene from afar.
When he came back to his senses, he gave me a thumbs up: "Brother Qin, you ...... You're awesome! ”
I smiled wryly and said, "! ... If it wants to poison me, I'll have to kill it first. It's called passive defense! ”
I pulled out a noun, and I was quite proud in my heart.
It seems that I have been blessed with a little bit of courage!
Pumpkin handed me a cigarette, and I took it in my mouth and smoked it.
I didn't feel anything at first, but now that I think about it, I realize that my arm is sore. It seems that when he first wielded the wooden stick, his arm was too hard.
"Brother Qin, your appearance just now was really scary, and you made me look stupid. I've never seen you so fierce. That look is even more terrifying than when he beat Su Yuanhang that day, it is really violent enough! ......”
I spit out the smoke ring and said lightly: "No way, who made me your brother!" ”
Actually, I'm the same age as Pumpkin, but my birthday is a little older than his.
After a few jokes, the tense nerves of pumpkin and me were slightly relaxed. The pumpkin didn't seem so scared anymore, and stabbed the dead flower snake with the fruit knife in his hand.
"Don't mess around! ... Let's go, let's continue looking for the cabin. I said in a solemn voice.
Pumpkin hehe, hey, didn't say anything.
The two of us continued to walk forward, and the direction did not change.
The sky slowly darkened, and many birds "quacked" and returned to their nests.
The woods were dark and rumbling, and vision was blurry.
At this time, I was with Pumpkin, and I had the same feeling as when I went into the dense forest with Li Yan, very eager, but also a little nervous and flustered.
The two of us were silent.
As I walked, a large patch of artemisia grass appeared in front of me.
Artemisia grass is tall and lush.
I realized that I was on the right track with the pumpkin.
Li Yan and I should have been lost here.
After looking at the time, we had been in the woods for almost an hour.
Seeing my solemn face, Pumpkin asked me nervously, "Brother Qin, what's wrong?" Are we in the right place? ”
I nodded and said, "This should be it, yes!" ..... The wooden house is not here though, it should be further away. ”
With an "oh", the pumpkin's little eyes began to scatter around.
"Huh? ... Brother Qin, there is a lighter here. ”
Pumpkin said, leaning down and picking up a lighter from the ground.
I walked over and looked at the red lighter I had lost in the woods.
My heart tightened, and I knew that I was a little closer to the mysterious wooden house.
I took a flashlight out of my backpack and shone it around, but I didn't notice anything else.
Another point is that when Li Yan and I came here, a large area of fog appeared in the woods. But now this time is about the same as it was then, but there is no fog at all.
This struck me as strange.
"Pumpkin, you come here first, I need to turn off the flashlight and see if I can find any other spots."
The pumpkin came over and put her back against mine.
I turned off the flashlight.
The darkness of the night came again, but I didn't see any light at all.
There are a lot of twinkling stars in the sky.
"Did you find anything?" Pumpkin asked me in a low voice.
I shook my head: "Not yet!" ”
And just like that, we waited a little longer.
Naturally, I wanted to find the cabin. But at the same time, I was jealous of the cabin, or of its owner, of the ugly stranger, and of the black coffin in it.
The flashlight was turned on by me again.
I said to the pumpkin, "Let's go, we don't find anything out of the ordinary, let's keep looking." If you can't find it, you have to go back first. ”
After that, I took the pumpkin and headed north.
Walk very slowly and carefully.
After walking for more than half an hour, I felt that I couldn't go any deeper, otherwise I would get lost. Fortunately, there was no fog around, and the moonlight in the sky was still bright. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to go so far with a pumpkin.
However, the wooden house has not yet been found, and it is surrounded by trees.
It stands to reason that if you're in the right direction, it shouldn't be difficult to find a cabin.
Pumpkin also took out a flashlight and shook it around.
But when we looked around, we still didn't find the cabin.
Isn't it here?
I frowned and thought.
Unexpectedly, just as I looked down, I noticed a white flower on the ground with a little scarlet.
The light of my flashlight shone through immediately.
Looking at that thing, my heart suddenly hung in the air.
It was a rabbit's skin, dried, white with a bright and shiny film of blood on the inside.
I picked up the rabbit skin.
"Brother Qin, what is this?"
Pumpkin asked me.
I said, "It's a rabbit skin!" It's the rabbit skin I told you earlier, that ugly weirdo! ...... Now that the rabbit skins have been found, the cabin must be around here, and we'll have to look closely. ”
Pumpkin didn't dare reach out and touch the rabbit's skin, but he noticed something unusual next to a tree.
"Brother Qin, look over there...... There's a dirt bag there! ”
The pumpkin shines a flashlight in that direction.
I hurriedly turned my gaze away, and sure enough, there was a dirt bag on the other side.
I looked at the pumpkin and walked cautiously over there.
When I went to the dirt bag, I found that it was not a simple dirt bag, but a grave bag. We were on the side of the grave, and there was a stone monument standing in front of the grave.
There is a small photograph on the stele, and the photo is still very bright.
In other words, this burial bag did not appear here for long.
"Dead man's grave?"
Pumpkin swallowed, his arm shaking a little, and the light of the flashlight swayed.
I wasn't so scared, so I slowly went to the grave bag and checked the name on it. The person who died was a woman named Wei Xia. Next to it is the date of her death, just two months ago.
Moreover, it was the same day as the time when Li Yan and I went to Niujiao Mountain to play.
How could it be such a coincidence? Incredible.
Also, a few meters away from the grave, I found a puddle of ashes.
The ashes were not left over from burning paper, but from wood.
Other traces have also been found......
Thinking about the experience of Li Yan and I that day, I think of the rabbit skin that I just found, this pile of ashes, and the location of the grave bag.
Suddenly, my heart thumped and my back was bubbling cold.
"This ...... How so? It's impossible! ... Li Yan and I obviously saw a black wooden house, how could it have changed now?! ”
The pumpkin standing next to him was a bit of a second monk, and he couldn't understand my words.
"Brother Qin, what's wrong with you, what are you talking about? Isn't it just a grave bag, and it's not the wooden house we're looking for. Let's look in other directions and see if we can find the cabin you mentioned. ”
I looked ugly and said, "No need! Don't look for it anymore, you can't find it...... If I'm not wrong...... This grave bag is what I'm looking for....... That wooden house! ”
The more Pumpkin listened, the more confused he became, but when he saw that my face was ugly, he realized that something was wrong.
"Brother Qin, what do you mean by this? ...... Could it be that what does this tomb bag have to do with that wooden house?! ”
Pumpkins are not strange to those who don't know, but there are already turbulent waves in my heart.
Trembling, I took two steps back. I raised my hand and pointed to the bag and explained to the pumpkin, "Pumpkin, I was wrong, what I was looking for might not be the cabin, it might be this bag." ”
The pumpkin was even more confused: "Brother Qin, don't go around in circles, I'm in a hurry...... What do you mean by that? I'm all dazed by you!! ”
I calmed my mind as much as I could, and then explained softly: "When Li Yan and I came here, we did see a wooden house, but now that I think about it, it should be a trick used by the ugly weird. ”
"Just like the scenic spot administrator said, he has been working here on Niujiao Mountain for more than 20 years, how can he not know that someone has built wooden houses here."
"I had just carefully observed the location of the ashes of the fire and the grave bag, as well as the location of the rabbit skin, and now I have determined that the wooden house that Li Yan and I entered that night did not exist at all. We stayed at the woman's grave all night. ”
"Do you know what I mean?"
The pumpkin still shook her head and said in a daze, "I still don't understand!" ”
Alas! Why didn't he understand.
I thought about it for a moment and continued to explain: "Let me tell you this, pumpkin, the wooden house is equivalent to this tomb bag, and the black lacquer coffin inside the wooden house is the coffin inside the tomb bag. It's a trick, a ploy to that ugly freak. ”
"Think about it, if there is no wooden house here, only a tomb, or a new tomb, do you think Li Yan and I will stay in front of the grave? Definitely not! ...... No one wants to spend the night in front of a grave. ”
Pumpkin finally understood what I meant: "I see! ...... Brother Qin, do you mean to say that you have also been deceived, that ugly strange man deliberately used a trick to trick you here. ”
"Yes, that's what it means!"
He finally got his senses.
However, when he understood the pumpkin, his face became even more gloomy.
"Brother Qin, then ...... Are we still here? Ugly weirdos can't live on this side of the grave. We should go find the ugly weirdos, find this grave bag, it's useless......"
The pumpkin was nervous, but I seemed calm.
Even though my heart hung in the air, I didn't want to give up.
Because to give up is to die.
I said to the pumpkin, "No way, since this grave bag has something to do with the ghost baby and the ugly weirdo." So we ...... It can only be a grave digger! ”
