Grave of the Dead 05
As I rushed into the woods, I heard the sound of branches being broken behind me, and apparently the horrible woman's head was chasing after me.
I was so scared that I didn't dare to turn my head back, so I just rushed forward desperately!
The woods were obviously much darker than outside, after all, the foliage was luxuriant, and the morning sun was not so strong, so I felt that my vision in front of me was not very clear, and I was a little lacking in confidence to run.
Since the trees are also densely populated, it is very difficult to run without taking the stone path that leads to the cemetery, because the branches of the trees are intertwined, and the cats have to crawl through them from time to time.
Some places were so dense that I had to change directions to get around, so even though I was running with all my strength, the speed wasn't really fast.
Of course, the head of the woman who was chasing after her was no better, and she kept hitting the branches, but obviously she was not afraid of collisions, and she could always easily break the branches and continue to chase me.
However, I can't go toe-to-toe with the branches, because I'm big, unlike a woman who has only one head, and I'm much smaller, so I still have a lot of advantages over me in shuttling between the branches.
Second, the branches of the tree would cut through my clothes, and even scratch my face, and the woman's head was bleeding profusely, and she was not afraid of any more injuries, and she looked like she would never be afraid of pain, which I could not do.
So, after running for a while, I could clearly feel that the woman's head was getting closer and closer to me.
Even I could hear the muffled cursing in her mouth, and the sound of that horrible red tongue flicking back and forth.
There was an extremely fishy and disgusting smell constantly wafting from my back, which made me sick to my stomach, although I didn't look back, I could also imagine the extremely hideous face of the woman's head at this moment.
Finally, I saw a glimmer of hope that I was about to break out of the grove!
As soon as you get out of the grove and go to the graveyard, you may encounter other villagers. However, at this time, I tripped over something that looked like a rattan on the ground.
So, I threw myself forward, and at that moment I was in utter despair, and I didn't know what else I could do but instinctively put my hands in front of my face so that I wouldn't get my eyes scratched by the branches.
The moment I fell to the ground, I flipped forward by inertia and rolled a few times before stopping.
When I first stopped, I was lying face down on the ground, I instinctively turned my head quickly, looked behind me, and picked up a random branch from the ground, blocking it in front of my chest, if the woman's head bit me again, I could also whip her with the branch, of course, it was useless, I was at a loss.
However, he couldn't see anything behind him, except for the dimness, and the sound of the branches breaking before suddenly stopped.
Everything was extremely quiet again.
How could it be, it was obviously chasing me behind me just now. Why not now?
Since I didn't see the woman's head, I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense muscles of my whole body began to relax, so tired.
However, when I accidentally saw the woods in front of me, my heart hung again.
Because it stands to reason that the woods in front of me should be very dense, after all, I have just run out of the grove.
However, the grove in front of me was clearly at the edge now, and I could see the graveyard not far away through the gap in the woods.
Suddenly, my scalp tingled!
In other words, I'm looking in the wrong direction! Rolled on the ground a few times and got confused. The woman's head should be behind me right now!
My whole body involuntarily tensed up again, my breathing became more and more rapid, and I didn't know if I should turn my head to look.
I used to hear the old man say that if there is a ghost behind him, the ghost will not bite the person directly, but put his hand on the shoulder first, and when the person turns his head, the ghost will bite the person's throat and suck the person's essence and blood.
At this moment, a hand suddenly put on my shoulder, and my heart suddenly beat so fast and fast, and cold sweat ran down my forehead.
I slowly turned my head and looked a little over my shoulder, sweating faster as I could see the hand clearly.
It obviously didn't look like a living man's hand, it was thin and thin, and it seemed that there was only a thin layer of skin except for bones.
The nails of this hand are a little yellow, black, and a little shriveled, like a person who has been dead for a long time, and the water in his body has been dried.
I shuddered and continued to look back at the dry hand.
At the same time, my other hand had already secretly grasped a stone, and once I saw the other person's appearance clearly, the moment the other person opened his mouth and bit it, I stuffed the stone into his mouth, and then jumped up violently and ran forward!
As I slowly turned my head and looked behind me a little bit, I finally saw the face that was very close to me, bloodless, with extremely wrinkled skin and deep-set eyes, and in her pupils I saw my own expression, one of great surprise.
The reason why I am pleasantly surprised, it is because I know this face, it is the mother-in-law who cleans the cemetery every day, because no one knows her origin, how old she is, and she has a strange and withdrawn personality, and never deals with people, so everyone has to call her mother-in-law of the cemetery.
I didn't expect that after I experienced the previous horror, I would not only be able to escape death, but also meet this mother-in-law full of magic.
As far back as I can remember, Granny Cemetery once saved me when I was six years old, so when I saw her, I knew I was completely safe. I didn't expect that when I grew up, I was in danger again, and it was this mysterious cemetery mother-in-law who saved me.
As soon as I remembered the experience of being chased by the head of a terrifying woman just now, I was terrified. I looked into the eyes of my mother-in-law in the graveyard with excitement, and the surprise in my heart was naturally indescribable.
The moment I met the mother-in-law of the cemetery, all the memories of her kept coming back to my mind......
Granny Cemetery has been in our village for about twenty years, and she is the only one in our village who has survived, and it stands to reason that outsiders in our village cannot survive past midnight that day, but she is an exception.
Over the years, no one seems to be able to tell her true origins, no one knows what her real name is, and no one knows her age. However, she seems to be very rich, and she bought the largest yard in the village and lives alone.
Mother-in-law Cemetery has a very eccentric temperament and never takes the initiative to talk to anyone, even if someone asks her, she will not speak.
But one thing that is amazing about the cemetery mother-in-law is that she seems to know everyone in the village very well, and when someone in the village disappears, everyone will come to the cemetery to ask her for help.
Just say the birth date and name of the person you are looking for, and after a while, the cemetery mother-in-law will point to the distance with her old hand and turn away.
Afterwards, as long as you follow the direction pointed by the mother-in-law of the cemetery, you will definitely be able to find the person you are looking for, of course, sometimes the mother-in-law of the cemetery will also point in the direction of the cave, then, it means that the person is dead.
There was once a village daughter surnamed Song who was missing, so she came to ask the mother-in-law of the cemetery, and when the mother-in-law of the cemetery pointed to the hole in the ground, he still didn't believe it and scolded the mother-in-law of the cemetery for talking nonsense.
But after that, the man searched the whole village again and still couldn't find his daughter, and finally, with a suspicious mentality, came to the vicinity of the cave, and sure enough, he found his daughter's belongings near the cave, as well as a letter of despair, and completely believed that his daughter was really dead.
Because the daughter mentioned in the letter that the reason why she couldn't think about it and wanted to die was because she was only sixteen years old, and she actually found out that she was inexplicably pregnant, but she had always been clean and self-conscious, and she had no private contact with any man at all.
The only thing that is suspicious is that she once dreamed that she seemed to be called often in the middle of the night, and she couldn't help but go to the vicinity of the cave several times, and as for what happened there, she didn't remember when she woke up in the morning, but when she saw the shoes next to the bed and the footprints of the dirt on the ground, it completely indicated that she had really been to the mud near the cave.
So, she left a letter and put it near the cave, even if she died, she had to enter the hole to find out why, and she never came back.
When this man left the cemetery crying with his daughter's letter, he met the mother-in-law again, he bowed to the mother-in-law, and showed his daughter's letter to the mother-in-law in the cemetery.
At this time, he was completely convinced of his mother-in-law, and the purpose of his letter to his mother-in-law was to ask how his daughter lived and died after entering the cave, and he wanted to know if his daughter was doing now, because he still didn't give up, and he didn't believe that his daughter died like this.
As a result, the mother-in-law of the cemetery took a look at it, threw the letter into the air casually, and saw that the letter suddenly turned into a flame, and the flame magically turned into two burning Chinese characters - Jinghua!
Later, when these two words disappeared, the flame gradually extinguished, and at the same time, it did not turn into ashes, but condensed into a jade pendant, on which there was an ancient "Song" character.
After the mother-in-law handed over the jade pendant to this villager, she actually spoke for the first time, she said: "Jiren has his own natural appearance, your daughter has left the cave and was reborn, if you want to see her, go to the Jinghua Song family to try your luck." ”
After saying that, the mother-in-law turned around and left, the villager surnamed Song was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and happily ran home, and in a week, he sold everything in the house, took a sum of money, and left, it is said that he went to Jinghua to find his daughter.
Although it has been a year since this incident and the villager surnamed Song has not been heard from again, it is still often regarded as a hot topic of after-dinner chatter by other villagers.
In my memory, I met the mother-in-law of the cemetery many times, because my children and I would go to play in the grove next to the cemetery when I had nothing to do, and I could often see her old figure meticulously cleaning the cemetery there.
Although I can often see the mother-in-law of the cemetery from afar, I have only been with my mother-in-law at close range once, and it was that time that she saved my life, and every time I think of that terrible experience with the mother-in-law of the cemetery, my heart is difficult to calm for a long time.
I remember the time I met her when I was six years old, and that day my grandmother took me to the cemetery to incense my ancestors.
Although my grandmother often warned me not to go near the cave when I was a child, this warning was of little significance to me, who had never seen a hole in the ground and was only six years old.
So much so that when I walked to play less than five meters from the hole, I didn't realize that I had walked into the restricted area.
I remember that I just felt that from a distance, the entrance of the cave was covered with black fog, which made me very curious, so I couldn't help but walk towards the cave.
As I walked, I seemed to hear some kind of whispered call from a far, far away, like a woman's voice, which was now faint in retrospect, after many years.
But one thing is for sure, that very soft voice is really kind to me, as if a mother is talking to a young child, very dotingly.
So, I inexplicably followed this call and slowly walked towards the cave.
