Chapter 16: The Ghost of Sere
Since Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan were guests from afar, Yang Yi arranged for the whole village to accompany him to dinner that night and wash the dust for him.
There were four or five tables set up in the empty square, and there were less than six people sitting at each table, Qi Lu frowned and asked Yang Yi: "Uncle Yang, didn't you say that there are people from the whole village to accompany me, so there are only these people?" ”
"Alas, not many people want to live in this barren mountain now, and in the past ten years, more than 30 people in the village have intermittently moved to the town. Just leave us these antiques here to retire and die. ”
Qi Lu glanced at the houses surrounded by black crows and crows, and got up to toast Yang Yi.
Maybe it's the reason why Guta Village hasn't had guests for a long time, the villagers are very hospitable, and after three rounds of drinking, they take turns to come over to toast Qi Lu, and he can't refuse, he gets drunk after a while, and finally Yang Yi arranges for his sons Yang Bo and Yang Ning to send him back to rest.
The place where Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan live is a three-bedroom and two-living house, and the previous owner of the house has already moved to the town as Yang Yi said, and he has arranged for several women to clean the room, which looks quite tidy.
The village is so remote, there are only three or four channels on TV, and she is still talking Burmese that she can't understand, Ding Xiaolan feels really bored, but she doesn't feel a trace of sleepiness. She had no choice but to lie on the bed, staring blankly at the night outside the window.
The door was gently pushed open, and someone turned on the light. Ding Xiaolan was about to get up from the bed, but saw Qi Lu standing by the door looking at her with a smile.
"You don't know how to knock on the door when you come in, it's so rude!" Ding Xiaolan only remembered that the bedroom door was not locked, and it seemed that she would ask the village chief to help her install a deadbolt tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time." Qi Lu grimaced.
"Did you come to me drunk and go crazy, or did you want to insult this girl?"
"It's a pity that you guessed both wrong, I wasn't drunk at all."
"You're not drunk?" Ding Xiaolan was stunned, not understanding why Qi Lu pretended to be drunk in front of the villagers.
Qi Lu took out his mobile phone and walked to the side of the bed to let her look at a photo on his phone.
This is a photo taken by Qi Lu when he was drinking, a photo of him and the villagers, including the village chief, and of course the so-called six people who died and came back to life. Seeing these six people, Ding Xiaolan's stomach seemed to twitch a little, and an uncomfortable feeling arose.
"What do you mean by showing me this picture?"
"If you see these six guys, they can be seen in the way, which means that they are not ghosts."
"Didn't you tell me earlier that they weren't ghosts?"
"I just wanted to be more sure. Since they are human beings and not ghosts, we will now prove one more thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Let's see if the Ji'anshan couple are from the Luotou clan like the innkeeper, okay, now get up and go to their house with me to peep." Qi Lu smiled evilly and wanted Latin Xiaolan to get up.
Ding Xiaolan said to him sharply: "Go out, wait for me outside!" ”
Qi Lu then remembered that Ding Xiaolan's body in the quilt was only wearing a three-point style, and he was embarrassed to exit the door and wait for her to change her clothes.
The night was deep, and the ghosts of the cold wind were lingering in Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan.
Under the moonlight, Ding Xiaolan looked at the black rumbling low house in front of her and asked Qi Lu quietly: "Are you sure this is Ji'an Mountain's home?" ”
"When Yang Bo helped me back, I saw very clearly that the couple was back in this house."
"That's not right!" Qi Lu lit a cigarette and said, "The doors and windows are closed tightly, how can you fly out when you wait for the next head?" ”
"Maybe they're not the Fallen Heads anymore?"
"It's possible, let's wait."
I smoked several cigarettes, and there was no movement at all at the Ji'an Mountain house.
Qi Lu was impatient, he came to the front of the room with a cat, looked in the window with the curtain ajar for a while, and saw that Ji Anshan and his wife were sleeping like dead pigs in bed and retreated.
"You're right, they're not head-dropping, they've been asleep for a long time, and they haven't seen their heads separated."
"Aren't you waiting?"
"There's no need for that, maybe it's a mistake in my judgment."
Qi Lu yawned, and was about to ask Ding Xiaolan to go back to sleep when a ray of light shone from the front. In the dim moonlight, they saw something strange slowly drifting by.
The light moved strangely behind this thing, and the thing was getting closer and closer to them, and Qi Lu instinctively felt that it was a living form, a very strange life form.
He was a vague humanoid luminous figure about a foot above the ground, with no facial features, his limbs seemed to be stuck to his body and could not be separated, and his body emitted a faint blue light. A leaf fell on him and slid down his body to the ground, indicating that he was an entity rather than an illusion.
Ding Xiaolan exclaimed: "Aliens? ”
Qi Lu didn't speak, because he couldn't be sure what the hell this light body was. Seeing him drifting towards him, Qi Lu subconsciously touched the gun, but found that the gun was left in the house and did not bring it, this negligence suddenly made Qi Lu nervous.
The light body stopped less than two meters away from them, although his face was flat, but Qi Lu could feel that it was looking at himself, and there was no danger, but Qi Lu still maintained his vigilance.
The light body hovered in front of them, eager to get closer to Qi Lu, but something seemed to stop him from moving forward, and he cowered and backed away whenever he wanted to go further.
As if hesitating for a moment before making up his mind, the light began to circle around them, ready to force his way close to them several times, but he finally backed down at the last minute.
What the hell is he trying to do? Qi Lu then took a few steps forward, and the light body also took a few steps back, always keeping a distance of about two meters from him.
Qi Lu smiled and said, "It turns out that you are a special ghost. ”
The Light Body nodded.
At this time, Qi Lu smelled a faint yin qi fluttering in the air. It seems that after losing his true qi, even his ability to identify demons and ghosts is much weaker.
"You're afraid of this, aren't you?" Qi Lu took out the green talisman from his underwear pocket, and this time he finally understood why this strange ghost couldn't get close to him.
The light body nodded again.
Qi Lu handed the talisman to Ding Xiaolan and said, "You take the talisman and retreat a few meters, I see that this thing seems to have something to say to me." ”
Ding Xiaolan said after receiving the talisman: "I'm afraid, what if there is a ghost behind?" ”
"It's okay, with this talisman on your body, no ghost dares to approach you." Qi Lu then said, "Don't forget, you know how to spell!" ”
Ding Xiaolan's face suddenly turned red, and there seemed to be lightning flashing in her heart. At this time, she can't hold Qi Lu back.
When Ding Xiaolan walked away, watching the light body walking towards him, Qi Lu was surprised, and he felt a strong message coming from the light body, which forcibly broke into his mind, "Help me, I don't want to disappear"
This message was full of hysterical despair, which made Qi Lu involuntarily feel pity.
The light body began to slowly materialize, and his face gradually appeared in front of Qi Lu.
Before Qi Lu could react, Ding Xiaolan behind him exclaimed: "Sailei! ”
Yes, this ghost standing in front of Qi Lu was Sailei, he was covered in blood, his face was pale, and his whole body was trembling as if he had been devastated in some way.
Qi Lu hurriedly asked, "How can I save you?" ”
The ghost of Sele spoke, "I don't know. ”
Qi Lu asked again: "What's the matter with that Yang Ning, why does he look exactly like you?" ”
"I don't know!" Seray still said that.
Could it be that the people of Guta Village really have nothing to do with Sailei, and Yang Ning just happened to be the same as Sailei? Qi Lu still wanted to ask questions, but he heard Sai Lei say to him anxiously: "If you can't save me, just leave quickly, the farther away the better!" ”
"Why?"
But Qi Lu couldn't hear Sai Lei's answer anymore, because Sai Lei's body slowly darkened like a flashlight that had run out of power, and finally disappeared in front of him like transparent air.
Ding Xiaolan asked, "Sailei's ghost is gone?" ”
As she spoke, the light outside the village lit up again.
The night was miserable, whether it was the moonlight in the sky or the light from the village, it became blurry in the night, and even the home of Ji'an Mountain in front of them was no exception, and it seemed faintly, as if its existence was not so real.
Isn't Sele far away? Qi Lu subconsciously walked towards the light.
When this source of light appeared in Qi Lu's sight, Qi Lu's face began to change slightly, and he turned around and took Ding Xiaolan's hand and hid behind a big tree.
Ding Xiaolan hadn't seen the strangeness yet, she asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”
"See for yourself." Qi Lu secretly pointed his hand at the bright place.
The sparkle was a campfire by which two men were sitting grilling a large piece of meat on a wooden rack. And these two people are Yang Ning and Yang Bo.
Qi Lu said: "It's strange, they ate enough at the banquet at night, why are they still barbecuing here?" ”
"Maybe they eat a lot."
"Well, it's possible." Qi Lu grinned and said, "Why don't we go over and fight the tooth sacrifice too?" ”
When he spoke, Ding Xiaolan pulled the corner of his clothes, Qi Lu looked back and saw that she was pointing directly at the meat on the fire with her hand, and she was speechless in fright.
Qi Lu was stunned, not knowing why Ding Xiaolan was so scared, so he turned his head and looked at the bonfire. Immediately he was also surprised, because the piece of meat on the fire was a human leg, and it was already roasted to maturity.
"Here, how about it taste." Yang Ning used a knife to cut off a large piece of meat from the fat part of the human leg and handed it to Yang Bo.
"It tastes good, but it's a little lighter."
As soon as Ding Xiaolan heard the word human flesh, her face turned pale with fright, and the beads of sweat on her forehead became more and more, she really didn't expect that the villagers of Guta Village were actually cannibals.
Qi Lu couldn't help but feel a pimple, he really didn't dare to look at it anymore, for fear that he would vomit nauseously, so he whispered to Ding Xiaolan, "Let's go back." ”
The two returned to their lodgings in fear and did not sleep well all night.
