Chapter 41: Corpse Worms

I relieved myself and asked, "Uncle He, how can there be so many such things?" ”

"The problem lies in them. Several people in the village went missing, only to find them. ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Where did they find them?" ”

He Baosheng said, "For the past three days, people have gone missing every night. The next morning, his film would be hung on the cliff. ”

"What is the Cliff?" I asked.

He Baosheng said with a bitter face, "This matter can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences, I'll lead you to take a look, and you'll know." ”

We followed him out of the house and along the path to the outside of the village.

I had just walked out a short distance when I heard a deafening sound of water coming from me.

A large river was flowing not far away, and the water was extremely fast. This is a section of Bianshui, and the locals call it the Funiu River.

On the other side of the river, there are rolling hills.

He Baosheng said as he walked, "This thing is very strange, every year before the accident, someone can hear it, and the sound of cows barking comes from the river. ”

Hearing him say this, Wu Meng asked, "It can't be the sound of flowing water, right?" ”

He Baosheng shook his head and said, "There are so many people in the village, it is impossible to hear them all wrong." ”

It's weird, I look at the rushing river, and my head is full of question marks.

A stone bridge crosses the river to the opposite bank. Not far from the stone bridge, there is a bare mountain cliff.

There was no grass growing on the cliffs, and even the stones turned black.

He Baosheng said, "Because the water of the Funiu River is very fast, people often fall into the water, and occasionally corpses float down from the upstream. There are people in the village who specialize in collecting corpses. When they find the body, they hang it on the shady side of the cliff and wait for the deceased's family to come and retrieve it. Gradually, that cliff is called the Cliff of the Dead. ”

No wonder there is no grass on the cliffs. Because the corpse was very angry, all the surrounding grass and trees died.

We walked forward as we talked, and it was only at the foot of the cliff that I could see clearly.

On the north side of the cliff, the cliff above stretches out like an eaves.

There are many thumb-sized red ropes hanging from the top of the cliff. On top of several of the ropes, unclaimed bodies were hung.

The corpses were about to be air-dried, swaying back and forth. At the same time, a rancid smell came to my face.

Among the people who came with me were a few young people who had never seen anything like this before. They all hid behind the crowd tremblingly.

I've seen a lot of it, and I looked up at the rope hanging in the air. He asked, "Are the human skins you are talking about found on those ropes?" ”

He Baosheng said, "Yes, these days, they are found on the rope almost every morning. The villagers were afraid to go out. But there are still people who disappear without knowing it, and the next morning, they will see these terrible things. “

I frowned and looked at the cliff. It was just over a hundred meters away from the river, and I came down from the cliff and walked towards the river.

The riverbed is full of pebbles, and closer to the bank is thick with silt. I suddenly noticed that there was a row of black footprints left on the cobblestones.

Those footprints are so faint that you can't find them unless you look closely.

After cultivating the ancestral water escape technique, my eyesight is much stronger than others.

I'm all too familiar with footprints of this color. Because the place where the dead passed through will also leave such footprints.

The reason why the footprints turn black is because there is a strong evil aura on the feet.

The evil aura is very domineering, and even the stones will be corroded to show traces.

I looked up into the distance and saw that the footprints had come out of the river and were stretching towards the cliff.

It gave me the feeling that someone had come ashore from the river and gone straight to the cliff where the corpses were dry. I didn't see any footprints coming back.

At this time, even He Baosheng and others noticed the footprints.

He Baosheng's face was full of horror, could it be that the missing people all went into the river by themselves, then climbed up from the water, and then hung themselves on the ropes?

But where are their flesh and bones?

I frowned and pondered for a moment, unable to figure out what was going on. It's a bit bizarre.

I said to He Baosheng, "Uncle He, let's go back to the village first." In the evening, you gather everyone together. I'd like to see what the hell is going on. ”

He Baosheng agreed. Everyone went back to the village. In the evening, He Baosheng gathered all the people in the village to his house.

The villagers were all pale, and no one spoke, except for the occasional cry of a child.

Wu Meng and I stood guard at the door. The doors and windows of the He family were tightly closed.

In the middle of the night, the wind suddenly picked up outside, and the wind blew through the windows and made a rattling sound.

Just then, I heard footsteps coming from the courtyard.

The footsteps were soft, more like the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

Hearing the voice, everyone trembled.

He Baosheng was prepared in advance, and the yard was full of lights, and the outside was as bright as day.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and a figure appeared at the door, and then, there was a knock on the door, and the sound was very rhythmic.

Everyone present was terrified. Because the whole village is here, it is impossible for anyone to come again.

I looked out the window, and by the light, I saw a man standing outside.

He was wearing a white shirt at first sight, and I could see his face clearly.

In fact, in addition to me, even Wu Meng and others also saw his appearance clearly.

Everyone looked at each other with incredible eyes.

At this time, Kuroko, who had been standing beside me, suddenly screamed. Its sound was somewhat deafening.

Kuroko turned his head and stared intently at He Baosheng, who was standing not far from us.

Because the man standing outside looked exactly like him.

He Baosheng, who was still full of horror just now, suddenly showed a smug look on his face.

Before I could figure out what was going on, Kuroko suddenly turned his head and barked wildly at the ground.

At the same time, the villagers fled to the side as if they were fleeing the plague.

After being reminded by Kuroko, I hurriedly jumped more than a meter away to the side.

There was a worm as slender as an earthworm coming out of where I was standing.

It is blood-red all over. Most conspicuously, on each side of its head, there is a black eye that is too large to match the head.

The teeth in its mouth resemble a row of sharp needles. The way it looks makes my scalp tingle. Obviously, it's coming for me.

If I dodge slowly, I'll have to get bitten by it.

The others weren't as lucky as I was, with countless of these bugs coming out of the ground.

They were so fast that before the others could recover their senses, they got into their trousers.

But in the blink of an eye, they stood motionless like wooden men.

This insect is very weird and seems to be highly venomous, and once bitten by them, it will stiffen its body. Although the mind is clear, the body cannot move.

I hurried towards the crowd. The villagers scattered in exclamation, apparently they were also afraid of the bloodworms.

Seeing that I was not restrained, He Baosheng's eyes were full of disappointment. I already understand that he was playing tricks!

This matter is really a bit unbelievable, if you want to save those subordinates, you have to restrain him first.

I threw myself at He Baosheng.

He Baosheng's reaction was very fast, and he turned his head and ran towards the door.

I don't care about the other villagers, because He Baosheng is the culprit.

I chased after him, and to my surprise, by the time I got outside, the figure that had been standing in the doorway had disappeared. It feels like a ghost to me.

He Baosheng ran directly towards the gate, shouting, "Mr. Zhao, come and help!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice had already walked in through the gate.

It was a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his appearance was very delicate, but his face was a little blue, and he looked very gloomy.

He Baosheng seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, hid behind him, and said, "This kid is very cunning. The corpse worm couldn't hurt him. ”

The young man sneered and said, "I didn't expect that there is really a rice bucket in Heluo Town." ”

I glared at him angrily and asked, "Who the hell are you?" Why frame us? ”

The man sneered and said, "I'll let you die, my name is Zhao Wei." You may not know it, but in fact, you people are all outcasts of the Wu family. They deliberately sent you to your death, and this is a deal between our two family patriarchs! ”
