Chapter 9: The Strange Granny Ji
Hearing Erdan's words, my face also became weird.
I believe in Erdan, he won't lie to me, so, who is this person who appears in front of us in front of us?
Or is he a human or a ghost?!!
Li Fugui saw us standing behind and muttering something, so he introduced it and said, "This is Uncle Erfat, he will tell you what you want to know." ”
Erdan and I came back to our senses, went up to say hello, and then walked into his house under the guidance of the middle-aged man.
Before entering the house, I told Erdan to be vigilant, and if there was any emergency, he would run away.
The middle-aged man beckoned us to sit down, and he went to make us tea.
I saw that the atmosphere was a little weird, so I opened my mouth and asked Li Fugui, "You said that the worms on your body crawled out of the Uncle Wang next door, how did the worms on the second fat body come from, and how could it be three months earlier than you, and besides, in addition to your family, is there anyone else in the village who crawled into that kind of bug?" ”
I asked my doubts all at once, trying to figure out what was going on as soon as possible.
As for all kinds of weird things in this village, I don't plan to ask Li Fugui, because I vaguely feel that asking Li Fugui will not solve any problems, but will make the situation of me and Erdan worse.
Before Li Fugui could speak in a hurry, the middle-aged man came back, so he asked him out loud, "Why don't you see the second fat baby coming, how are you going to see a doctor?" ”
Li Fugui was asked about the situation of the second fat, his face instantly became gloomy, and he got up and motioned for the middle-aged man to go out with him.
I was in the right position to see through the crack in the door, and I could hear the subtle conversation between the two of them.
I only heard the middle-aged man muttering in a small voice, "I said a long time ago that this disease can't be cured, you just don't listen to persuasion, if you follow the rules of the village, the second fat won't die, I don't live well." ”
I can assure you that I didn't hear it wrong, and I didn't miss anything.
What does this middle-aged man mean in his words, according to the rules of the village, the second fat will not die, and he will still live well?
What the hell is he talking about?
Could it be that he has had dead worms in his body, and is still alive and well?
Li Fugui seemed to notice that I was peeking at them, so he pulled the middle-aged man and walked out a few steps.
I couldn't hear them talking again, but I could feel that the two of them were talking to me and Erdan.
Ten minutes or so later, the two of them walked in.
The middle-aged man politely poured tea for me and Erdan, while Li Fugui sat there without saying a word.
In this way, the four people in our room remained silent for about three or four minutes.
At this moment, I felt that my brain had become a mess, and the veil of mystery that had been draped over Gejia Village was not torn off, but I fell deeper and deeper.
Seeing that we didn't speak, the middle-aged man took a sip of tea, sighed, and then spoke:
"Fugui has already told me about you, do you want to know what's going on with those worms on Erfat's body?"
The middle-aged man looked at me, and I nodded at him.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, and then spoke again: "If you want to talk about the origin of this worm on Erfat's body, it should be from three months ago, but ...... I want you to promise me one thing before you hear this. ”
The middle-aged man looked at me and the second egg solemnly, as if the next thing he was going to say was very important, and he couldn't tolerate any sloppiness.
Erdan and I glanced at each other, and knew that the purpose of our trip was to finally make progress, so we solemnly agreed.
After the middle-aged man saw that we agreed, he continued to speak: "I don't want you to do anything, you must know that this matter is an extremely secret existence in our village, and I also told you about it for the sake of your saving my sister's face."
However, I hope you don't let a third person know what I said to you today, especially not those in the west of the village, understand? ”
The middle-aged man stared at me and Erdan, as if trying to find some hesitant expression on the faces of the two of us.
Of course, I nodded and agreed immediately, after all, this is an opportunity to get in touch with the strange secrets of Gejia Village, how could I let it go.
However, the sentence that the middle-aged man just said not only did not make my doubts less confused, but made it even heavier.
After a night of understanding, I also heard some basic information about Gejia Village from Li Fugui.
Gejia Village seems to have more people with the surname Ge when they hear the name, so they call it this name, and this explanation is correct.
However, if you really want to dig deeper, this Gejia Village should have been called Jijia Village at the beginning, and later there were more people with the surname Ge, and the name of this place was changed.
The people of the Ge family are in the east of the village, while the Ji family is in the west of the village, and the two sides do not interact with each other.
Although Li Fugui said that the people of the Ge family and the Ji family do not have the same surname, so they don't come and go often, I can always see something from the expression he said at that time.
It wasn't a sense of distancing from a different surname, it was clearly like an expression on the face of a mortal enemy.
Moreover, when the middle-aged man just talked about the west of the village, a ruthless color unconsciously appeared on his face.
The more I look at this Gejia Village, the more weird I feel, and I also become more and more suspicious that the last thing my grandfather told me before he died was to come to Gejia Village.
Am I going to wait for the dead worm to be resolved, turn around and leave, never come back, or stay and figure it all out?
The middle-aged man saw that I agreed, so he said: "You shouldn't come to our village, I kindly advise you now, hurry up and pack your things and go back, as for what the consequences are, I won't say this, but, if you want to live, wait for those bugs in your body to solve the problem and leave quickly." ”
The middle-aged man looked at me earnestly, and when he saw that I didn't reply to his words, he slapped his thigh, "Count it as if I said it in vain, since you want to know so much how the worm came from, then I won't go around the bend." ”
The middle-aged man sat up straight, as if reminiscing about things.
After a few minutes, I heard him slowly speak: "There is a legend in our Gejia Village since ancient times, according to legend, in the late Qin Dynasty, the world was turbulent, and the ancient Dian Kingdom implemented a closed country in order to protect itself.
But after the closure of the country, the ancient Dian country also had a civil strife, there was a big commander suddenly rebelled, led the army to seek power and usurp the throne, although the great commander was brave and good at fighting, but after all, he was a barbarian, and finally defeated.
However, the Great Commander also saved his life, and those men who followed him fled to establish themselves as kings, and although the Great Commander failed, he also stole many treasures from the King of Dian.
After the great commander fled to the mountains, he died within a few years, and I heard that the great commander brought many rare treasures to his tomb, and since ancient times, there have been many talented people who want to get the treasure of the great commander, but in the end, they have even seen the tomb of the great commander.
In this way, this rare tomb and those ancient memories were permanently buried in the deep mountains. ”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he sighed, there are countless treasures in this rare tomb, as long as it is a mortal, who doesn't want to live a glorious and rich life?
I looked at each other, the middle-aged man said a lot, but he didn't say it thoroughly, I had to guess that this dead insect was related to the Great Commander's Ancient Tomb.
The middle-aged man came back to his senses, saw the expressions on the faces of me and Erdan, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'm going to talk about those bugs soon." ”
"Legend has it that during the Republic of China, there was a feng shui gentleman in our place, and I have to say that he was an upright strange person, he looked at the mountains and rivers here every day, and the stars at night, and the tomb really let him find it.
The next day, Mr. Feng Shui took people to the place of the tomb, but the result was not satisfactory, more than 20 people went, and when he came back, Mr. Feng Shui was alone, and Mr. Feng Shui was blind.
I heard that Mr. Feng Shui didn't even see the ancient tomb of the Great Commander, so he was in danger in a wormhole, which was very strange, with countless poisonous insects, snakes and ants.
Someone learned the location of the tomb from the mouth of Mr. Feng Shui, and they were moved with compassion, but even strange people like Mr. Feng Shui ended up with a cripple, and how much better would those people be.
In the end, it was just a fate of dying in the wilderness, but if it was like this, it would be fine, but those guys who wanted to rob the tomb blew up most of the wormholes, and those poisonous insects, snakes and ants ran all over the mountains.
The second fat and a few people in the village were also killed by those insects when they went to the mountains to collect medicine a few months ago, and finally died in vain......"
After listening to this, Erdan and I glanced at each other, but they didn't even speak.
What this middle-aged man said is reasonable, I'm afraid it doesn't look like he is lying.
Since I have a clue to find the insect king, I naturally won't give up, and immediately asked: "I don't know if Uncle Ge knows where the two fat people went to collect medicine, and where those insects got into their bodies?" ”
As soon as my words came out, the middle-aged man stared at me strangely, "You baby can't be obedient, that place is full of poisonous insects, and if you go, you will only die in vain, you can't do it, you can't do it." ”
Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't want to tell me, I hurriedly said: "Uncle Ge, we really have something important to go there, you can't see death without help, right?" ”
The middle-aged man shook his hand again and again, "I just don't want to see you go to death so I won't tell you, you baby don't know what to do." ”
After that, the middle-aged man waved his hand to us and said, "I'm going to work in the fields, so you all go back." ”
was kicked out, Li Fugui had to explain a few words to us with some apologies.
Back at Li Fugui's house, Erdan and I sat in the house without saying a word to each other, and I was very confused.
One is that this Gejia Village is so mysterious and weird, I don't know if I should snoop into this secret that I shouldn't know.
The second is that although we know how the dead worms on Erfat's body came from, we can't tell the address, which is no different from not saying it.
Moreover, in my current situation, can I really deal with the Dead Bug King?
"Brother Fang, didn't that person say that Erfat and they went up the mountain to collect medicine together, since he didn't say it, then we might as well ask the families of a few other people, someone will tell us after all, right?" Erdan suddenly spoke.
I also thought of this method, but I was worried that the rest of the family would be the same as the middle-aged man, and they didn't want to say anything.
Besides, I always feel a little uneasy about the fact that the middle-aged man is a zombie.
In the end, even if I didn't want to, I still went to Li Fugui to ask for the addresses of several other households.
After all, there is only this one clue now, and it is not a matter if you wander around Gejia Village all day with nothing to do.
After I asked Erdan and I for the address, we searched for them one by one.
However, it turned out badly, and those people were either not at home or just kept silent about it.
Erdan and I came to the front of an old house, stopped in front of the dilapidated wooden door, and waited for a minute, Erdan saw that I was going to knock on the door, and quickly grabbed my hand.
whispered in my ear: "Didn't you listen to Li Fugui?" Let's not come to this house, you can see it now, and go back with me. ”
Previously, when we asked Li Fugui about the rest of his family, he just dealt with us casually, just like the middle-aged man, he didn't want us to go to the mountains to die.
But where can I let him fool him like that, at my insistence, Li Fugui finally said a few more families, but I can still feel that Li Fugui is still lying, he didn't tell everyone who has been to the mountains.
As a last resort, Erdan and I strongly requested again, and Li Fugui told us the address of the last family.
However, he said at the time, "Since you really want to go, I will not stop you, and as for the last family, I advise you not to go, there are only two people in that family, Gou Yu and his grandmother."
The dog was picked up by the old man from outside, and the rest of the family died, and they were killed alive by the old man, I don't want to say more, you remember, don't go to the old man's house, otherwise the consequences will be the same as her family, and the corpse will not die well! ”
At that time, Li Fugui said very seriously, and he couldn't wait to engrave these words in our hearts, but we can imagine how afraid he was of the lonely old man.
When the second egg said this, I also began to hesitate whether to go in or not.
After all, there are too many weird places in this Gejia Village, what if the old man in this house is really a monster?
But just as I hesitated, the wooden door in front of me was pushed open.
In front of me, there appeared a somewhat thin old woman, with a large turban wrapped around her head, she was wearing an old-fashioned old cotton clothes, and when she opened the door, her face was flat, and she looked at me and Erdan suspiciously.
"Where are you from? What to do? The old man looked sick, but his voice was very energetic.
Erdan and I were stunned for a moment, and then smiled dryly: "I...... We just came here to ask something, and I don't know ......."
Before I could finish speaking, the old man turned around and walked into the house, and when he saw that we were stunned, he said a little unhappily: "I said what is the matter with you baby, don't you want to ask about it?" On this rainy day, I want an old man to accompany you in the rain, so if you want to ask, come in quickly. ”
Erdan and I glanced at each other, both of them were a little confused, but we still followed the old man in.
When I was seated in the house, I looked around the room and casually asked, "I wonder what we should call the old woman?" ”
The old man rummaged in a cubicle not far away, and she replied casually, "You can just call me Granny Ji." ”
I was attracted by the things on the beams of the old man's house, and I couldn't hear the old man's words very clearly, so I asked out loud: "Granny Ji, what kind of animal bones are hanging on the beams of your house?" ”
The old man came out of the cubicle, took something in his hand, returned to the chair and sat down, she interrupted me, "It's not Ji, it's Ji." ”
I heard what the old man said clearly this time, and said casually: "Ji, is it the surname Ji of Jijia Village?" ”
But before I finished speaking, the cold sweat behind me flowed down, the Ji family is in the west of the village, and the Ge family in the east of the village does not get along, and it seems that there should be some deep hatred.
How come there is an old man surnamed Ji in the Ge family in the east of this village!?
