Chapter 782: Old Locust Tree
Huang Baokun was a little surprised by Qin Ye's question, but still replied: "Huang Jiansen, the village chief of this generation. ”
Qin Ye nodded and stood up: "I'll go first." There may also be something that you can ask for help with. ”
Li Zhenshu smiled and raised her coffee cup: "Quite willing." Not ready to take a break? That kind of place...... I'm afraid I'm scared to sleep, right? ”
Qin Ye shrugged his shoulders, and after stepping out of the door, he turned into a yin wind and disappeared, and ten minutes later, he had already appeared inside the Huang family's tulou.
It is still a huge locust tree, it is still a dead corridor, it is still a cold coat brush, and the tulou at night has a particularly depressing quiet. It is as if the slightest sound made by oneself will invite impermanence in the dark.
Quan Jinghao looked around vigilantly, he was afraid that Chu Renmei would appear again, and Liu Changmin was also on guard as if he were facing a great enemy. Qin Ye's fingers gently brushed along the wall: "Don't be afraid, she will only appear once a night." ”
"The first night, six hours at night, and so much time after that, she never showed up again...... Do you smell anything? ”
Kwon Kyung-ho relaxed a little, sniffled, and said uncertainly, "Fragrance? ”
It's really a fragrance, a very strong fragrance.
That's a natural floral scent without any additives. Everyone's eyes were on the locust tree in the courtyard.
This is the first time they observed the Huangjia Tulou at night, under the moonlight, the strange blood red locust flowers of the locust tree all bloomed, originally, the fragrance of the locust flowers is light, as if the feeling of being washed by the rain, there is a faint sweetness, the fragrance is not strong. But now...... The fragrance of this huge locust tree is intoxicating, like a rose blooming at midnight.
This is by no means the scent of locust flowers.
Qin Ye took the lead in walking towards the courtyard. I turned on the lighting of my mobile phone and looked around carefully in the ground before shaking my head and gently touching the trunk: "There are no petals, but there are a lot of fallen leaves." It shouldn't. According to the rules of nature, it is impossible to live without petals...... Back off! ”
With the last two words, the voice suddenly rose up, and the three of them stepped back in unison. At the moment of leaving, the trunk of the old locust tree turned out to be ...... It fluctuated like the surface of the water!
"Oh...... Ahhhhh............h There was a humanoid face raised!
It was a man's appearance, very thin, with a wide open mouth, and a look of great pain. And...... More than that!
The whole tree, like a balloon blown up, and the faces of people in pain appeared one by one under the blood-red lanterns around them, and in just ten seconds, the whole courtyard was full of wails. As if trying to break free, they twisted and trembled desperately, but they couldn't get out of the trunk.
Under the moonlit night, a hundred ghosts howled, the dead attic, the blood-red firelight...... All of this is just hair-sticking!
Qin Ye was used to seeing big scenes, except for Chu Renmei's appearance that scared him, these dead things really couldn't scare him. He looked at it solemnly, face by face, and suddenly stopped: "Look, these faces ...... Familiar with it? ”
In front of him, it was Huang Xiaoqing's face!
The trunk was twisted like human skin, and her face was like flesh beneath the skin, wailing in pain and struggling desperately. It's like a tree nodule that has come to life. It's incomparably infiltrating.
"It's the woman you saw during the day." Quan Jinghao looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "My lord...... What's going on? ”
Looking up, not only Huang Xiaoqing, but the faces of the whole village are on this tree! Some of them are still alive in the Huangjia Tulou, and the other part they have never seen.
Qin Ye didn't speak, and there were more and more questions in his mind. Someone has imprisoned these souls here, who is it? Is this the heinous soul of the Word? Why would he do that?
Chu Renmei possessed herself, did she want to kill this person?
He felt very close to the answer, but also far away. The front was blurry, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Find Huang Jiansen first." ”
He looked up at the dark sky: "He signed the construction contract for the Huangjia Tulou in the nineties, and this place was completely stopped in the nineties...... The contract time is 95 years, which means that in 95 years, Huangjia Village can still come and go freely. So...... Between 95 and 00 years, something drastic must have happened that made Huangjia Village what it is now. ”
"Why these five years?" Kwon Kyung-ho was inexplicable: "What if it's 05?" What about 03,04? How do you tell exactly to 00 years? ”
Qin Ye shook his wrist, gently rubbed the bracelet in his palm, walked towards the corridor with his hand, and said lightly: "A place to live, there will be no young people." For example, the cultural shirt we saw before we came in was worn by trend-seeking young people in the late 90s. And through our observation in the past two days, there are not many young people in the building. ”
He glanced at Kwon Kyung-ho: "They will go and chase the trend automatically, but in '99, the Korean Wave ...... Oh, it's the first Korean wave, HOT, and mythology that have entered China in a big way. The streets and alleys are full of them, and the costumes are further diversified. Towards the turn of the millennium, even the towns and villages of China were affected by this wind. If it was in 00, it would be impossible not to see Hallyu-related clothing here. But now...... Nothing. ”
Hallyu is an important symbol of Chinese pop culture. Even...... It can be called a kind of time-setting node.
That's the benefit of fragmented knowledge in life. You never know when you'll use some of the knowledge you've ever heard.
He lightly swiped his hand over the corridor railing: "I even think it's a problem in the three years from 95 to 98." ”
At this moment, he suddenly stopped.
It's time for the first floor corridor again...... The terrifying staircase was on their right. And...... Right now, from the stairs came ...... Some slight noises.
Knock Knock...... Knock Knock......
Is that...... The sound of a slap ball.
Qin Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took out his mobile phone and looked at it.
It's four o'clock in the morning.
Sixty minutes until five o'clock, the last darkness before dawn.
The dark corridor and the monotonous and boring sound of slapping the ball became the only sound in this darkness. He raised his eyebrows and walked over.
"Your Excellency!" Quan Jinghao and Liu Changmin immediately walked in front: "You, do you really want to go up?" ”
"Just take a look." Qin Ye gently flicked the bracelet, and the yin qi in his whole body had climbed to the peak. The last time he came here, there were many supernatural events, this was to warn him, and now was not the time to go up.
But, this time, no.
Just as he stepped onto the first staircase, a piercing chill suddenly rose from his surroundings. A tidal wave of cyan yin qi rushed down from the second floor. Weep bitterly with a wailing of nothingness, as if ...... Embarked on the road of yin and yang.
He didn't move, but waited five seconds. Nothing happened.
Can you go up yourself?
He looked around with a deep groan, and questions popped into his mind.
Why?
Did you survive the next night?
Or did you see the waterhole of the beautiful bones of the Chu people today?
Or...... Did you know the news of Huang Jiansen? Still is...... See the true face of the big locust tree at night?
Unknown...... He took a deep breath and stepped on it solemnly.
The higher you go, the lower the temperature becomes, and in just a dozen stairs, the temperature has dropped to nearly zero degrees. He turned the corner and was about to go up, when he suddenly stopped.
Turning this corner, you can already see part of the second floor. Very tall, about five meters. But...... Here, there is sound.
The clear, suppressed, monotonous sound of the slap ball was getting closer and closer to them. The horror of the unknown was like a big hand grasping at the heart, making Qin Ye's breathing a little short. The blood-red light came from the first floor, and the swaying ancient locust tree made ten thousand spots of light, flickering and flickering.
It was like darkness that suddenly brightened.
It's like a hell that goes out in an instant.
Tick...... At this moment, Qin Ye only felt a chill in his hands. What's there...... Dripping on the back of his hand.
He looked up, goosebumps welling up on the back of his hand. Is that...... Blood.
Black-red blood.
What is it...... Right above them, quietly, unblinking, straight and ...... Watch them go from the first floor to the second floor.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and his right hand had already pressed the decree of the king, and then he raised his head suddenly.
On the corridor leading from the second floor to the third floor, at some point, rows of naked, pale five or six-year-old children stuck their heads out of the cracks in the railings of the stairs, opened their mouths and smiled, staring at him!
They looked exactly the same, as pale as powder, but their eyes were pure black. His head was tilted to sixty degrees, and he kept the same smile. Black and red blood flowed from between the teeth, dripping down, and one by one the dead white hands, the left hand grasping the railing, the right hand ...... It's about to touch the top of his head!
"One...... Rise...... Play ......"
With a hoarse child's voice, Qin Ye's throat tightened and he immediately left the place. But at this moment, around the corner of the second floor, there was a sudden sound...... The sound of slapping.
Click...... A hand, lightly pressed around the corner, and then ...... A tall figure, on this suffocating night, finally appeared in their eyes.
It is very tall, more than two meters. With a hat, which is covered with yellow rune paper, and a broken oil-paper umbrella. He wore colorful clothes, which consisted entirely of pieces of cloth and were messily draped over his body.
And what he slapped in his hands...... It's a human head!
A boy's head, no blood, only a mess of yellow hair from malnutrition. And a two-meter-tall giant, with a homophonic sound from his mouth, muttered: "The big rabbit is sick, the second rabbit will look, the third rabbit will buy medicine, and the fourth rabbit will boil ......."
"Five rabbits died, six rabbits carried, seven rabbits dug pits, and eight rabbits buried ......"
Rustle rustle...... The dense branches and leaves of the old locust tree are like countless ghosts ready to move in the dark night, and with this picture of a monster slapping a human scalp ball, even Liu Changmin trembled slightly.
It's so weird...... Far more than the third tunnel he had ever been.
It's not that kind of pure horror, but a kind of oppressive, unknown, even behind you feel ...... It's as if someone is watching their ...... all the time Thriller.
The monster's feet didn't move, and its body floated straight forward. But just as he was passing by the hallway, he suddenly stopped.
The ball was still slapping monotonously, but the head was like a robot, Kakaka turned around and looked directly at Qin Ye: "The living ......"
"Big brother...... Accompany...... I play? Good no good? ”
Qin Ye smiled: "Okay." ”
"Do you come down, or do I go up?"
