Chapter 63: The Woman with the Tombstone on Her Back
If it weren't for one of them,
So could it be... The woman in the weird story has returned to Gujing Village?
But why is this woman not old?
Is it a young twenty-seven or eighteen years old?
For a while, people were panicked, and the panic atmosphere spread rapidly among the crowd.
In the crowd, Fang Zheng frowned in contemplation.
He had been cultivating all night last night, and he hadn't noticed anything abnormal, that woman... Whether it was another supernatural incident or someone's deliberate prank, he couldn't make up his mind too soon.
Unless... The woman came to him......
He only knew if he had confirmed it in person.
Although he is a person who practices martial arts, he is not one of those land immortals in mythology, and when his divine sense moves, there is nothing to hide from within a radius of 100 miles.
He is a human being, at best, after practicing martial arts, he has a better physique than ordinary people.
An hour later, the village chief and the driver found Fangzheng and them, and the village chief told them to try not to go out at night.
At the same time, they began to discover that every house in the village had a live rooster hanging upside down with a red rope on the door frame outside the gate.
Every family looked very nervous, and even the old couple where Fang Zheng was boarding was also hanging a rooster upside down in front of their homes.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Zhou, what is this?" Fang Zheng looked puzzled, looking at the big rooster who was tied with red rope and fluttered fiercely on the door frame.
"How do I see that everyone has a rooster tied up outside the door?"
Aunt Zhou is a typical simple, ordinary rural woman, her face is carved with traces of weathered years, covered with deep wrinkles, Aunt Zhou said cordially to Fangzheng: "It was the village chief who brought people just now and informed us from door to door, saying that we were asked to hang a rooster at the door." ”
According to Aunt Zhou, the rooster is a sacred object in the countryside to ward off evil spirits, and the rooster can ward off evil spirits, so that the demons and evil groups cannot be harmed, and the ghosts and ghosts will naturally retreat. Chickens are the best at suppressing evil.
Since ancient times, the folk have always believed that the chicken is an auspicious thing that chases the yin and leads the yang, the yang out of the rooster crows, the chicken is called the essence of the sun by the ancients, and there is the saying that "the rooster sings the world white".
This is why in traditional funerals and rituals, it is common to see people using chicken blood to exorcise evil spirits. There are also funeral burials, before the coffin is put into the ground, the filial son should first prepare a rooster, and then throw it into the tomb, if the chicken flutters its wings and flies out of the tomb, it means that the evil spirit in the tomb has been driven away, and the coffin can be buried with peace of mind.
But there is another theory, saying that chickens are the nemesis of poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and the chickens are thrown into the tomb in advance in order to drive away the poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the tomb, so that the coffin bearer can go down to the tomb and not be bitten by poisonous insects, snakes and ants.
All of this is enough to show the status of chickens in the countryside as a guardian and evil spirit.
After listening to Aunt Zhou's explanation, Fang Zheng couldn't help frowning and thinking.
Did the people in the village already know what to prepare for in advance?
Or is it just a simple rural superstitious activity, just a psychological comfort to stabilize the mood of the villagers?
Fang Zheng thought about it while helping Aunt Zhou share some farm work.
A day passed, but the mountain road was still not opened, and the group was trapped in Gujing Village, and another day passed.
Night falls.
And tonight's Gujing Village is exceptionally quiet, even the barking of domestic dogs seems to disappear at once, and the entire mountain village is quiet, like a deserted ancient village under the dark night.
The footprints of people during the day are not seen at night, and every household has closed its doors and windows early, and there is no longer a single idle figure in the village, and the world has just been darkened, and the whole village is already a dead silence.
In the past, at this point when the sky was just dark, you could still vaguely see villagers chatting at the door, and villagers returning late from farming. But today, there is no one to be seen early.
All of them at night... It's dark, don't go out.
Li Peng is a villager in Gujing Village, he has contracted a farm, so every time he comes home, he always smells of chicken feces, especially today's business is particularly good, in order to catch those difficult pheasants, he has a lot of chicken feces on his body.
Chicken feces smell worse than cow dung and pig dung, and if you don't take a shower and wash your clothes as soon as you get home, you will leave a strange smell on your body, and you can not get clean for several days in a row. As for the clothes, if you leave them for a few days, you will basically throw them away, and you can't wash off the strange smell of fermented and sour.
As usual, when Li Peng returned home from the farm and planned to take a shower and wash his face, he found that the water pressure was very low today, and the water output was very small.
Li Peng looked out the window at the dark night that had completely darkened, and thought that it would be better to go to the yard to fetch well water to take a bath.
But just before he went out, a scene came to his mind, he not only opened the door last night and saw the woman, but also answered the woman's question, and the answer he answered was, he didn't see ......
However, Li Peng has never believed in evil, he always felt that someone was playing a prank yesterday, not to mention that he just went out to the yard in front of his house to fetch some well water, so he boldly opened the door and walked in the direction of the well water in the yard.
Li Peng's action of opening the door alarmed the rooster hanging on the door, and the rooster immediately fluttered, clucking from his throat, and was a little frightening and gloomy in the dark night.
"No matter how noisy it is, believe it or not, I'll slaughter you tomorrow and stew ginseng and chicken soup to drink. Li Peng glared fiercely.
Afterwards, Li Peng walked to the well and began to put down the tin bucket to draw water.
Poof.
The sound of a tin bucket falling into a well.
Then Li Peng grabbed the rope and began to ascend.
In the dark, the dark well water was poured into the plastic bucket on the side, and Li Peng continued to beat the well water for the second time.
Boom, the well water was poured into the plastic bucket at his feet again, just when Li Peng was about to continue to dig well water, suddenly, ticking, a sound of water droplets dripping to the ground, Li Peng was stunned, the water in the iron bucket had been poured out?
Suddenly, ticking.
The second sound of water droplets dripping to the ground.
Tick... The third tone.
The surroundings were quiet, and it was a quiet night, and the sound of the water droplets falling to the ground was particularly clear.
Only then did Li Peng realize that the sound of water droplets was not coming from the iron bucket in his hand, but from the direction behind him.
Li Peng felt a chill behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to look behind him.
Under the hazy furry moon, in front of the window of his house, a black figure was actually shining.
"Who!"
"Who's standing there!"
"Isn't it a little thief who doesn't open his eyes!"
Li Peng was angry and was about to rush over, but he was only halfway through the rush, but he hesitated and stopped.
"It's you. ”
"You're the woman from yesterday. ”
However, Li Peng soon found out that the wrong place was wrong, the woman last night was obviously covered in dry clothes, but tonight's woman was soaked with clothes, and water droplets were dripping down her wet long black hair and skirt.
The place where I stood was already wet.
This wet woman, standing motionless outside the window of Li Peng's house, facing the window, seemed... The woman was peeping out the window.
"Who the hell are you......" Li Peng asked, but the woman was still standing outside the window of his house, silently looking into the window, silently, and motionless.
"Speak, you, who the hell are you......"
"I've said it all, I haven't seen any of your children......"
No matter how bold Li Peng is, at this moment, there is no one in the air, and there is no one around, facing this strange scene, Li Peng also feels a little numb in his scalp.
At this time, Li Peng seemed to faintly see that under the wet summer thin skirt, there seemed to be a tattoo on the back of the woman.
Faintly, it seems to be a tattoo with a tombstone?
When the vision is not clear, it is easy to create an optical illusion, thinking that it is a woman carrying a tombstone.
For some reason, when he saw the tattoo on the woman's back, he couldn't stop being curious, and he wanted to try to get closer to see what it was......
That's it!
Oh, oh, oh, Li Peng's hanging on the gate suddenly fluttered violently......
Day 2......
It was just dawning, and everyone in the village who was still asleep was awakened by the sound of panicked noise and the sound of noisy footsteps.
Someone hurriedly ran out to inquire.
Last night, two villagers disappeared, and without exception, the door of the house was wide open!!
