Chapter XXXIV: The Bard: 34
Wen Jin didn't understand the old man's words, so he pulled Wang Shan's arm and asked, "What is this old man talking about!" Did he go crazy? ”
"It's not normal anyway." Wang Shan shrugged her shoulders and said with her eyebrows furrowed, "He said that a woman's cry will attract sneaky..."
Wen Jin was stunned, swallowed his throat and asked, "What is sneaky?" Does it count? ”
Wen Jin said and pointed to the headless monster in the courtyard.
Wang Shan's heart was also puzzled, feeling that these encounters were too bizarre. They are all young people of the new generation who are about to receive higher education, they are full of materialist ideology and understanding, and their scientific attitude is particularly positive.
"It's not a ghost!" Wang Shan said with no sorrow, so the fear in his heart also eased, refreshed his mind, and asked, "Will the ghost be chained?" ”
"But he doesn't have a head"
Wen Jin was even more shocked, trembling all over. "Look at the clothes he wears, just like the generals in the costume TV series. But where did his head go? ”
Wen Jin folded his arms and looked around, and said to Wang Shan: "I have watched a ghost movie before, saying that after winning a war in ancient times, I would cut off the head of the enemy general and bring it back to receive the reward. And when the general who has his head cut off dies, he will become a walking corpse because of his resentment. …… On cold and windy nights, the general would crawl out of the pile of dead men and wander around looking for his skull....... ”
Wang Shan was shocked when she heard this, and asked her tightly: "So you want to lock up the corpse of the general who was cut off with chains to prevent him from running around?" ”
Wen Jin looked at Wang Shan, then at the headless monster in front of him, and said with a cold face: "Look at the armor he wears, doesn't he look like a general who leads a leader to fight?" ”
Wang Shan felt that it was a bit strange to discuss such a thing in such a place, and she really didn't want to delve into it further, so she waved her hand at Wen Jin and said, "Since ancient times, my body has been dead and my soul has been scattered. There is no corpse that does not rot except mummies......"
Wang Shan just wanted to emphasize scientific understanding, so that she and Wen Jin would not be so afraid. But before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly snorted lightly and said, "Women and children see ......!" There is a spirit in the body, and there is a spirit in the dead. The spirit is reborn, the grudge is enchanted, and the one who dies but does not turn into one is bound to deteriorate..."
The old man's thinking is outdated, and he admires superstition. She believes that there are ghosts in this world, and as long as they are dead and blind, they will become powerful ghosts.
Wen Jin couldn't understand his mouthful, so he turned around and found something to gag him again.
Wang Shan felt that Wen Jin's treatment of the old man like this was a loss of Chinese virtue, and she was about to dissuade her, when suddenly there was a string of chains behind her.
At this time, the fluttering headless monster suddenly turned around. Wang Shan thought that he had finally discovered Ding Mo, but when he looked at it, he found that Ding Mo was gone.
It was only a few minutes of distraction, but Ding Mo disappeared into the inner hall, and the flashlight on the floor was still lying there alone, and a beam of light that wiped the ground was extremely cold and dark.
"Huh! Where did Ding Mo go? Wen Jin put down the old man and asked suspiciously.
"Hide, this headless monster may have spotted him!" Wang Shan was a little worried about Ding Mo, but she was helpless.
"So what are we going to do?" Wen Jin settled down, and said, "Go back now, how about waiting for him outside the city gate?" ”
Wang Shan felt that Wen Jin's idea was feasible, and there was no other way.
It's just that now the only flashlight is lost in the inner hall.,There's a monster inside.,The flashlight can't be retrieved.。 Without light, their actions would be very difficult.
Wang Shan touched her pocket, and the phone was gone. Wen Jin's mobile phone is also out of battery, useless but reluctant to throw it away.
Everyone is all over the body, even a hairpin on Wang Shan's head is fluorescent, but it has no use at all.
Just when everyone was desperate, there was a sudden sound of an object falling to the ground at the front of the road. Wang Shan and Wen Jin both stuck their heads out of the fang card and looked out, and saw a faint fire beating not far away.
The light of the fire was so faint that if it weren't for the darkness of the entire area, you wouldn't have noticed it in the dark.
"Dashan, did you see that? There's something over there. ”
"It could be a ghost fire!"
Wang Shan frowned at her, but then thought of another possibility.
"Or maybe it's the spark they left behind." After Wang Shan finished speaking, he looked at the old man on the ground.
The old man looked weak, but he tried his best to break free from the binds they had given him.
"Would you like to go over and have a look?" Wen Jin was a little curious and asked with a stern eye.
Wang Shan looked back at the hall, Ding Mo didn't know where he was hiding, presumably he wouldn't be able to get out for a while.
The headless monster is like a mad beast, dragging its chains with its teeth and claws. It should be visual, and the hall is in chaos.
"Wouldn't it be too presumptuous? What if it's in danger! Wang Shan still felt that it was inappropriate, and after thinking about it, she finally shook her head at Wen Jin: "Now we have no light, and we can't go anywhere!" Let's wait, Ding Mo may have gone around the back of the house, let's sit down and wait for him first? ”
Wen Jin pondered for a while, and nodded his head: "You are the representative of the math class and the class cadre, so listen to you!" ”
The two of them leaned on the fang card, and they felt a kind of isolation and coldness like never before.
Wen Jin may have been hungry and uncomfortable, so he turned his backpack out and pulled it around, but he didn't find anything, he looked at Wang Shan in disappointment and pouted.
Wang Shan's majestic compassionate heart is about to attack again, and she is looking for a topic to comfort Wen Jin, by the way, to distract her attention and alleviate the double pressure caused by hunger and panic.
Suddenly, there was a sound of something being knocked down in front of the road, but it was a little farther away than before...
Wang Shan and Wen Jin looked at each other, both thinking that it might be Ding Mo.
"Wen Jin, did you say that Ding Mo had already slipped out of the house, because he couldn't see it, so he looked for the firelight over there?"
Wen Jin was stunned, and after a little thought, he nodded suddenly: "It must be like this!" ”
As she spoke, she was about to stand up and open her mouth to call Ding Mo, but she was immediately covered by Wang Shan and pressed down.
"I think this old man is right. This place gathers yin and gathers obscurity, and you can't expose yourself too much, what if it really attracts unfriendly things? ”
"That'...... We also touched it? ”
Wang Shan hesitated, but still secretly decided, and said firmly: "Touch it...!" ”
In the darkness, they could see nothing but a cluster of flame that stared at them.
There was a lot of debris on the road, mostly rotting wood and earthen pots that had been broken beyond recognition, as well as the bones of some animals.
The concept of a burial city has been repeatedly overturned, and a sense of mystery has intensified.
In complete darkness, it was very difficult to walk, almost step by step, during which I bumped into something more than once, and I couldn't make a face with my hands.
Originally, he planned to leave the old man and leave him alone, but he couldn't bear it, so he took him with him. Wen Jin still complained about the old man and was unwilling to carry him anymore, so Wang Shan had to loosen the rope on the old man's feet.
The sober old man is no longer so burdensome, he can let him walk on his own, and in such darkness, he will not run around.
