Chapter 112: Psychological Shadows
Qian Lang's expression was complicated, and he hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "When I was young, I was very playful. When I was eight years old, I had a ......"
Qian Lang sighed, sat down on the spot, and told Zhang Fan about the psychological shadow that left him with a lifelong impression that he would never forget, but he usually did not want to recall......
On that day, counting Qian Lang, there were four children.
Qian Lang's nickname is Da Zhu, and the other three children are eleven-year-old Da Zhuang, nine-year-old Erdan and seven-year-old Qiangwa.
Four naughty and playful little boys, tired of playing in the crops, went to play in a nearby cave. Because I was so involved in playing and having so much fun, I forgot that it was too late to go home for dinner.
While playing, Da Zhuang suddenly pointed to a small hill not far away, but the villagers never dared to go: "A few days ago, I secretly went there to play by myself and picked this up." ”
Da Zhuang took out a small piece of irregularly shaped, but crystal clear white jade from his pocket.
But because they grew up in a rural area with poor resources, and they were all children who had never been out of the village, they didn't know that it was jade, but thought it was an ordinary beautiful white stone.
"Yikes! This stone is so beautiful! Did you really pick it up on that mountain? Erdanda asked with innocent eyes, and then wanted to get the stone in Da Zhuang's hand.
Da Zhuang hurriedly kicked the stone back into his pocket: "Don't rob me!" This is what I picked up, and I can take you to pick up the stones. But it was not picked up on the mountain, it was picked up in the cave of that mountain. After you have picked up the stones, don't tell your family, or you will be beaten! ”
"But that mountain ......" Erdan was a little scared, and said hesitantly: "My father and my mother have told the people in the village that the mountain ...... It's so evil that no one dares to go over there. Although the stone is beautiful, we are still ...... Sensei gone, right? ”
"What's evil?!" The bold little Qian Lang said nonchalantly: "We are all in elementary school, and we are not three-year-old children, what do we say about evil and haunted, all adults are afraid that we will run away, so they flicker and scare our children!" ”
"But ......" Erdan hesitated: "My father and mother said that my grandfather was just looking for the calf that suddenly ran away, chased him to that mountain and fell to his death." So I was scared and didn't dare to go. Otherwise, go ahead, I'm going home for dinner. ”
Da Zhuang hurriedly dragged the second egg who was about to run, and joked: "Your grandfather fell to his death, and he was not killed by some evil thing." What are you afraid of? What a coward! ”
"That's it, even I'm not afraid, you're still afraid!" Qiangwa's index finger pointed at Erdan's face and laughed fiercely: "Shame, shame! The cowardly grimace is not expensive, and the rouge is like a! ”
Even the youngest boys have self-esteem, and many rural areas still retain the rotten idea of male superiority and inferiority. Especially in the village where Qian Lang was born, this is even more so, where there is a huge difference in the rank of men and women.
Therefore, as long as they have reached the age where they can distinguish gender, boys are instilled by adults who maintain traditional concepts, and they must not be compared with girls' families, otherwise they will be looked down upon, and they will not be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives, nor can they talk about their daughters-in-law, and they will be scolded as monster men who are half men and not women.
Such a concept leads to the fact that if anyone says that a man is like a girl, whether it is a good word or a bad word, it is light for the man to fight with someone and die and not get along, and if it is serious, he may fight to the death. No matter how ruthless it is, just because of this sentence, the matter of destroying the door has also happened!
Therefore, Erdan slapped Qiangwa, who was only seven years old, to the ground, and Qiangwa's nose was beaten and bleeding, and she was crying.
Da Zhuang gave Erdan a few words, and Erdan apologized to Qiangwa. And Xiao Qian Lang coaxed Qiangwa to help stop the nosebleed, and after the two children shook hands and made peace, they decided to follow Da Zhuang to the cave of the mountain to pick up beautiful stones to play.
They played in the cave for a while, and several of their pockets were filled with those beautiful stones, and Qiangwa was content to go home.
This time the second egg is not happy, he still wants to play for a while, after all, it is the first time to come.
By this time, it was already dark outside.
The three children had no choice but to accompany Erdan, and made four simple torches out of branches, and walked curiously towards the cave.
The further you go inside, the more beautiful white stones break into pieces.
They were as happy as if they had found a treasure, and felt that they would never be able to finish playing with so many good stones. No, you may not be able to finish it in three lifetimes.
But as they walked, they suddenly noticed a thin red line on each side of the stone wall of the cave.
At the same time, a dark shadow appeared in front.
Erdan felt that the figure of the black shadow was very similar to his dead grandfather, so he blurted out: "Grandpa! ”
The shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Didn't your grandfather die two years ago?" Da Zhuang said: "People can't be resurrected after death, are you dazzled or deliberately scaring us?" ”
"I didn't." Erdan was a little aggrieved: "Didn't you see it?" His figure really looks like my grandfather. ”
"See." The three children replied at the same time, and then Xiao Qian Lang was also a little scared: "I've played and played, and I've picked up a lot of stones, so let's go back quickly, right?" ”
The three children nodded, turned and ran out of the cave.
As he ran, the black shadow suddenly scurried over, and then climbed up the stone wall in a strange posture, crawling as fast as a gecko.
The four children were so frightened that they screamed and ran.
At this moment, four torches were extinguished one after the other.
"Bang!" It seems to be the sound of something hitting the ground, or being hit.
"Ahh Qiangwa's screams.
"Poof!" It's like the sound of chopping a watermelon.
"Ahh Help me! Da Zhuang's scream.
Xiao Qian Lang endured his fear, stopped and turned around, took out a match tremblingly and lit it, and saw that Qiangwa and Da Zhuang had fallen in a pool of blood.
The second egg had also been lifted upside down by the black shadow's calf and thrown against the stone wall.
"Bang!" Erdan fell to the ground, his skull was deformed and sunken, his face was covered with blood, and every time his body twitched violently, a large mouthful of blood would gush out of his mouth.
Xiao Qian Lang was so frightened that he peed his pants, but he didn't forget to run.
After he desperately ran out of the cave, he didn't dare to stop a single step, and ran back crying and shouting like crazy, alarming some villagers.
After he told the villagers about the process, the villagers, led by the village chief, rushed to the mountain with torches and shotguns.
It wasn't until dawn that the villagers returned.
However, more than seventy young and strong men went, but only forty-three returned.
According to the villagers, they all saw the dark shadow with their own eyes.
No one can say what it is, but it's fast and not afraid of bullets.
No one could see what it looked like, or that it might not have facial features at all, and it really looked like a shadow, but it was a shadow with a strong physical and aggressive nature.
And those who are missing are all dead, and the way of death is basically the same as that of Da Zhuang.
Seeing this, the villagers retreated and put the bullet until the bullet was finished, and the living had to flee. But there was a sudden fog in the mountains, and it was not until dawn that the fog gradually dissipated.
