Chapter 10: The Fog
The yin qi in the yin well just began to leak out, and none of the seven big roosters died. Zhang Siyi's face turned white when he saw dead chickens all over the ground, but it was too late for him to go back to the village now to bring the boys and girls over.
As for the things in the fog just now, it is likely that they were all evil spirits attracted by the Yin Well, but unfortunately Chen Xue ran away with a flashlight, and no one could see what it was.
The fat man was also anxious at this time, his big steamed bun face was crowded, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Si, but said to me and Li Lin: "One of you is a baby of the Ding family, and the other is a baby of the Li family, you won't understand anything, hurry up and stop the things in the fog, and I'll go to seal the yin well."
My mind is full of the death of the family in the town, my legs are trembling, I can still listen to the task given to us by the fat man, and Li Lin and I really don't know anything!
Zhang Si will ease his mind a little, and blame the fat man for saying: "I'll just do it, the child can't be sent back, now it's okay, something big has happened, I'm going to play balls!" ”
Zhang Si is like a person who has learned Mandarin and returned to his hometown, and he hurriedly started to speak local dialect. The five young villagers carried sticks in their hands, and their faces were full of nervousness and fear.
Chen Xue saw that we were still hiding under her squeaky nest, so she pulled us out with her hands, and said hatefully: "Didn't you two take something from home?" Don't hurry up and help! ”
As soon as she reminded her, Li Lin and I reacted, and Li Lin grabbed a handful of sawdust, closed his eyes and scattered them indiscriminately.
Originally, nothing could be seen in the fog, but as soon as the sawdust flew out, several screams came from inside.
The voice was like a wild cat in spring, indescribably mad, and it was very close to us. Li Lin saw that it was useful, and sprinkled it again, but this time there was no movement in the fog, and the thing seemed to have escaped.
Chen Xue was shocked, her mind was quite clear, she pulled Li Lin and asked him not to waste sawdust, and at the same time asked Zhang Si: "Village chief, what is in the fog!" ”
"I know it! I'm afraid it's something from the mountains! Zhang Si's voice was about to cry, but he still knew how to shine a flashlight on the fat man.
At this time, the fat man was holding a brush in his right hand, and a broken bowl in his left hand, stained with the red liquid in the bowl, was drawing a talisman on the door of the well room.
It took me a lot of effort to take out the lamp in my bag and hold it to my chest, and in my panic I couldn't see the thing there, so I could only turn left and right as a life amulet.
An accident happened at once, and one of the five young men could not hold on, and his spirit collapsed, and without warning he screamed, broke away from us, and ran on the path back to the village.
His companion didn't have time to stop him, and Zhang Si roared: "Come back!" But the young man didn't hear it at all, and ran all the way and howled and called for his mother.
After running out of ten meters, his figure was annihilated by the fog, and even Chen Xue's flashlight couldn't shine on her, almost before she disappeared into the fog, his strange scream turned into a scream, and it stopped abruptly after a sound.
As soon as the screaming stopped, the only thing left was the sound of our heavy breathing.
At this time, the fat man had already drawn the talisman, and the yin qi in the well room was much weaker, which showed that the things he drew were useful. The fat man came over, and the finger of his left hand was bloody, and I realized that he was drawing the talisman with his own blood.
On the way, he lifted the bowl in his hand and drank all the rest of the blood, which gave me goosebumps all over my body.
The four remaining young men in the village trembled and did not dare to go to their companions, after all, under danger and fear, people are selfish.
There were still some blood stains on the brush in the fat man's hand, and while he was not dry, he drew a vertical blood line on the eyebrows of Zhang Si and the four villagers.
Sealing the spirit with yang blood can prevent it from being possessed by dirty things. This is a local law that is widely spread in the countryside, but it is not anyone's blood that can work.
Li Lin and I saw that he had forgotten about us, and hurriedly stretched out our heads to remind him not to leak it. The fat man looked at it, threw away the pen in his hand, and said, "You don't need it." As soon as the fat man said it casually, he turned around and said to Zhang Si: "The problem is not here. Village chief, you take the four of them to guard the well house, and don't put anything in it. Ding Ning, Teacher Chen, Li Lin, the three of you come with me. ”
Li Lin and I were busy picking up the pens on the ground, drawing a bloody mark on each other's eyebrows, the color was a little light, and we also traced it several times. Li Lin wanted to paint Chen Xue as well, but Chen Xue shook her head in disgust and said that she didn't need it.
I'm a little strange, Li Lin's family makes coffins, and Uncle Li can order something, which is not a secret in the village. My family is a yin guard, although the second uncle only does to show people the mourning hall, but every time he talks about the yin guard, I feel that it is a more powerful profession.
Living in such an environment since childhood, even if we don't understand anything, we will get some qi in our bodies, and with this qi, it is difficult for evil spirits to get involved.
But Chen Xue, she is just a cultural person......
As I thought about it, the fat man beckoned us to follow.
Li Lin rushed to the front, and by the time I reacted and followed, I had already fallen to the last one.
Walking at night, the most fearful thing is in the end, not to mention the fog, and you can't see people clearly from seven or eight meters away.
Fortunately, Chen Xue cared about me and pulled me in front of her. When he was about to go up the path, the fat man said, "No one should speak until I stop." Remember, when you hear someone talking on the way, don't believe anything you say, and don't stop. ”
The fat man's tone was serious, and he sped up after speaking.
After walking about 20 meters along the path, I saw the young man lying in the grass on the side of the road, and I didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
The fat man and Li Lin in front didn't stop, I thought to myself that I hadn't walked far now, shout, and the village chief could hear them. If the big brother still has a breath, but because we don't care what happened, we will feel very guilty.
Thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and stopped, and turned back to call the village chief. But at this moment, the silver necklace around my neck suddenly chilled, so cold that I shivered, and when I looked up, Li Lin had already walked away, so I was so frightened that I hurriedly chased after it, and shouted in my mouth to tell them the situation and let them come to save people.
When I arrived in the field, the fog was thicker, and the rising mist rose from the grass and soil on the side of the road, and I could only see a shadow of Li Lin in front of me, and the fat man was completely invisible.
The fog was cold, and in a short time my eyebrows were covered with droplets. I was so cold that I pulled on my clothes, and the necklace around my neck suddenly became warm, and my body warmed up.
I was overjoyed, thinking that my daughter-in-law was not so bad, not only knowing how to comfort me, but also shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
Thinking that she is by her side now, she is not so afraid.
It's just that the road led by the fat man is getting farther and farther away, as if heading towards the mountains. Cemeteries in the mountains of the countryside can be found everywhere, and they are usually nothing, but tonight the fog is gloomy, and it is not a good thing to go up the mountain at this time.
I thought to myself, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense in my mouth, so I increased my speed and followed closely behind Li Lin.
But before I knew it, I noticed that the footsteps behind me seemed to be gone!
Listening carefully, I really didn't hear Chen Xue's footsteps.
There are weeds on the side of the road in the mountains, and it is impossible to walk lightly, and it is impossible not to have no sound. And I still have a feeling that the black shadow I have been following does not seem to be Li Lin.
The fog was steaming, and my heart was pounding, and the hairs on my neck were pricked.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. Looking down, Chen Xue's flashlight could be seen under his feet before, but now it is gone.
Her flashlight was bright, the fog was thick, and as long as she followed, it was impossible for me not to see the light.
Hiss!
I gasped, and I didn't care about the fat man's advice, so I called Chen Xue twice, but there was no response.
I had already spoken, and I shouted loudly again, shouting more than a dozen times in a row, but the black shadow in front of me did not respond.
I shouted so much, even if Li Lin listened to the fat man's words and didn't answer, at least his body would react a little, but the black shadow was still straight and straight, and his steps never slowed down.
It's really not Li Lin, so who am I following all the way?
Now, I longed to hear someone talking, but it was quiet, only the rustle of my pants against the weeds on the side of the road.
The fog was so heavy that I could only see what was within half a meter, and there were no more fields around me, but trees, and we were now in the mountains.
I clutched the jade lamp, my nerves were tense to the extreme, I wanted to stop, but I didn't know what would happen when I stopped.
At the same time, I thought, I just kept walking, and after the fat man stopped, maybe what I felt now was actually just an illusion, and when the time came, there would still be Li Lin and the fat man in front, and Chen Xue in the back.
With this thought in mind, I gritted my teeth and kept following. But after walking for almost an hour, the black shadow in front of me still had no intention of stopping, and at this time, pine trees appeared around.
Pine trees like cold, they all grow on the top of mountains, and it is impossible for fat people to run so far to do things.
I know that I can't go on anymore, and I believe that my daughter-in-law is by my side, and she will protect me if something happens. But before stopping, I called Chen Xue and Li Lin a few more times, but as before, there was no response.
After a few seconds of shouting, I stopped in place. As soon as I stopped, the dark shadow in front of me also stopped, and its body moved slightly, as if it wanted to look back at me.
I suddenly became nervous and pointed the jade lamp at him, but as soon as I lifted the jade lamp, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out behind me and slapped me on both shoulders. After falling, the hands did not take back, and just pressed against my shoulders.
Through my clothes, I felt the coldness on those hands.
At that moment, I almost collapsed on the ground, but I still remember that I could never turn back.
As soon as I turn around, my soul will most likely be snatched away. This is a saying that has been passed down in the countryside.
I couldn't turn back, so I couldn't see who was behind me, so I couldn't move, and asked tremblingly, "Teacher Chen, is it you?" ”
The hand is already on my shoulder, if it is Chen Xue, even if he doesn't make a sound when he hears me ask, at least he will give me a hint with his hand.
But neither!
What makes me want to cry is that the silver necklace has become unusually quiet at this time, and the warm feeling does not know when it will disappear. I secretly blame my daughter-in-law, at this time, even if she can't beat it, she will turn into a white mist and come out, help me see what's behind.
But she didn't!
Just when I was at a loss, the black shadow in front of me had already turned half of its body. I'm sure it wasn't Li Lin, and it was probably not even a living person, because a living person wouldn't move so slowly.
I was so frightened that I was about to break free of my shoulder and run away. As a result, the person behind me suddenly blew on the back of my head, and asked me in a hoarse voice, "Why don't you leave!" ”
