Chapter 128: The Dark Shadow of the Past

Under the dark night dome, a bitter cold wind stirred the weeds in this ancient cemetery.

In the most remote part of the grave, far from the graves of the ancestors of the village, the chaos of the stolen and dug up was full of eyes. The dilapidated stele fell, the coffin that had been buried deep in the earth was dug up and thrown aside, the lid was broken, and the bones inside had been stolen, and there was not much left of it.

"Maybe because they have different customs in other villages, Uncle Gou's family is very strange in our village."

Chen Shuhuai sat on the military folding stool brought by others, with a complicated expression, and talked about the events of the year slowly.

Whether it was the young Gu Jun, the prime of life Xue Ba, or the elderly Yao Shinian, everyone implored the old man to tell him everything he knew about Uncle Dog's family, no matter how ridiculous it sounded.

Some old people like to talk about the past with their juniors, and Chen Shuhuai is such an old man.

"There are about ten people in their family, and the adults are all very strange-looking, and the little ones are just like us. I was still a child at the time, and I also followed everyone to point fingers, making fun of Uncle Dog for being ugly and a foreigner. But Uncle Dog never gets angry with us, and I've never seen him angry. ”

"Originally, everyone drove them away, but Ah Gong asked them to stay. But after all, they are foreigners, and they don't marry women, and they don't marry wives, so they don't usually go to their house, and their family lives at the end of the village, and almost all of them go into the mountains, and they cut down some wood mixed with mud to build a few houses, and form a circle......"

Hearing this, Gu Jun couldn't help asking, "Is Uncle Dog's old mansion still there?" ”

Village Chief Chen continued to act as an interpreter, and Chen Shuhuai sighed when he heard it: "It's not there, it's all collapsed and rotten...... There have been no people there for fifty or sixty years, and you don't know why in your later life. When Village Chief Chen translated, he said a lot: "I really don't know, that is, the yin qi over there is heavy, and the feng shui is not good." ”

"When I was young, I liked to run around, but I was afraid to go there."

Chen Shuhuai talked about this incident more than 80 years ago, as if he was in another world, "Uncle Dog, they don't raise pigs, chickens and ducks, and they don't even have a dog, but there is always a strange smell in their yard......"

Gu Jun mentioned it in his heart, and the others also heard the situation, weird?

But at this time, the village elder, who was also 90 years old and in a wheelchair, said contemptuously: "Shuhuai, isn't that the smell of a fox, and he always talks about strange tastes." ”

They refer to the smell of foxes, and the vast majority of Chinese people do not have fox odors, but there are also groups that exist.

"It's not a fox smell, you don't remember ......it clearly," Chen Shuhuai sighed, arguing with his old partner was also difficult, "I don't know what that weird smell is, it's very stinky, a bit like the smell of a corpse...... We used to have dead bodies floating in the river sometimes, and the smell was very similar to ......."

A thought flashed in Gu Jun's heart, Uncle Dog's strange appearance and corpse smell, could it be that Uncle Old Dog and even their whole family were really ghouls......

"We poke those floating corpses with bamboo poles and let them float downstream, otherwise they might be left somewhere, but everyone is unlucky to do this kind of thing. Later, it was Uncle Dog and his family who did this work, and no one in the village wanted to drive them out anymore, but they also avoided them even more. ”

Chen Shuhuai sighed repeatedly, and his old spotted face gradually turned pale, "The strange thing I said was almost ...... from that time."

"I had to go up to the mountains every day to collect firewood, so I would pass by their house every day. Every time I walk by, I feel uncomfortable, they always have someone there, in the yard or at the door, they don't do anything, they just watch you walk and don't speak. ”

"I don't remember any day, but once as I walked by, I heard a thumping sound inside, as if something was hitting the wooden door, and there was a low cry that sounded like some kind of beast...... I'll just say, is there some roe deer hidden in Uncle Dog's house? ”

Now, more than 80 years later, Chen Shuhuai still can't understand this.

"At that time, it was not easy to eat a full meal, and if you wanted to eat some meat, you had to wait until the festival was outdated. I wondered if the old dog uncle had caught some wild beast from the mountains and hid it at home to be used as food...... I went back and told my father and uncle, and they looked for my grandfather and wanted Uncle Dog to take out the roe deer meat and share it with everyone. ”

Gu Jun frowned, and Xue Ba and Uncle Dan also felt a personal danger......

"Damn." Lou Xiaoning muttered, sounding like he was going to look at the red door hole again.

But Chen Shuhuai still lived to be 95 years old now, "Ah Gongzhen went to ask Uncle Lao Gou, and Uncle Lao Dog really took a whole roe deer out and divided it, and then divided it a few times, everyone ate roe deer meat, and then they slowly really accepted them, and Uncle Lao Dog can be buried here even if he dies." ”

But when I heard the roe deer cry when it was slaughtered, I thought it was not like that. The strange sound disappeared for a while...... Then it rang again. ”

"I was so young and bold that I wanted to see clearly, so I climbed up to a nearby tree early one day and stared at their yard......"

Speaking of this, Chen Shuhuai stopped, and opened his mouth a few times before he could continue to say the horror:

"I hid until midnight, hungry and cold, and I was about to go down the tree, when suddenly I saw ...... Uncle Dog's family walked out of the house to the yard, and they walked with very strange steps, saying something in a strange voice, and walked round and round...... It seems to be their custom? ”

"But I really saw it! In the middle of the courtyard, a strange black shadow emerged from the mud......"

"I was so scared that I almost fell off the tree...... I felt like they noticed me, and I didn't dare to speak out or look at it again......"

"I don't know what happened anymore, but when there was no movement in their yard, I immediately went down and ran home. Along the way, I noticed that the dogs, chickens, and ducks in the village stopped barking, and all of them did not move as if they had lost their souls, and all of them died the next day. ”

"At that time, the whole village didn't know what was going on, and wondered if someone from a neighboring village had come to poison them. I told my grandfather about it, but after my grandfather went to negotiate with Uncle Gou, he said that I had a dream and should not mention it again. ”

"How could it be a dream, I can see it clearly...... But this incident never happened again, and the strange sound of Uncle Dog's house was gone, and they were very peaceful. ”

"I don't know if it's a dream."

Chen Shuhuai said with a sigh about this past incident, and the horror in his old eyes was still there, "What is that black shadow, I really don't know ......"

Village Chief Chen was a little embarrassed that the old man was talking nonsense in front of so many leaders, but he had to translate truthfully, after all, he was not the only one here who knew Dongzhou dialect.

But the members of the Demon Hunter Squad, Yao Shinian and Gu Jun, all had calm faces, so they thought a lot...... Summoning rituals?

Uncle Dog's family, whether it is a ghoul or a summoning ghoul, is inseparable from the relationship.

What's at stake here? Yao Shinian used his mobile phone to show Chen Shuhuai a few pictures, the withered faces of the red-clothed people, the leader of the Afterlife, and the appearance of some dead-skinned people, but Chen Shuhuai shook his head and said that he had never seen them.

"Old Chen, look at this portrait again." Yao Shinian changed another picture, and before showing it, he specially instructed Gu Jun not to look at it, because it involved that nightmare.

"Huh?" This time, Chen Shuhuai was shocked when he saw it, "Yes, I'm a little older, but Uncle Dog looks like this!" ”
