Volume 2 Raising the Jedi_Chapter 4 Hanging the Corpse
There is only one road into the village, and at the entrance of the village there is a withered old locust tree, which has no leaves on it, and only a few crows stand on the branches.
And on one of the horizontal branches, there was a man!
This person was wrapped in sackcloth all over his body, and a rope was tied around his neck, and he hung on the old locust tree like this.
I swallowed and spitted at the mouth and said, "This man hanged himself, and he hanged himself on the locust tree, and he will become a hanged ghost." This village looks a little sinister. ”
The red-haired brother also put away his usual cynical look, and cautiously approached the past, it was evening, the atmosphere in the village seemed very weird, and the surroundings were even quieter and terrifying, only the two crows on the old locust tree, occasionally making noises, stimulating people's nerves.
I took out a talisman and pinched it in the palm of my hand, and if something was wrong, I would make a move. Brother Hongmao walked in front, and just when I was highly concentrated and nervous, I suddenly clicked, which startled me.
It turned out that the red-haired brother stepped on a branch, although I have also seen the writing world, but suddenly came to the strange and strange place of raising corpses Jedi, and I was naturally a little scared, the red-haired brother's ability is above me, he is cautious, where do I dare to take it lightly.
We walked under the old locust tree, still can't see what this hanged man looks like, his whole body is wrapped in linen, wearing cloth shoes, I carefully observed the surroundings of the old locust tree, and did not see a yin ghost appear, so I was slightly relieved and said: "Are we too nervous?" ”
The red-haired brother also let out a long breath and said: "It seems to be a little too nervous, this should be just a small village, living in these residents, rarely interacting with the outside world, but this corpse is hanging outside the village, no one cares, this seems to be unreasonable." ”
Brother Hongmao's thoughts are the same as mine, I thought for a moment and said: "Let's not make any extraneous branches, maybe this is the custom in the village, let's go to the village to see the situation, but at this point, why haven't the people in the village started cooking yet?" ”
We had just walked into the village, and the whole village looked very desolate, and the most frightening thing at first glance was that there were at least one or twenty corpses of the old locust tree covered in sackcloth. This scene made people's scalps a little numb.
Could it be that there is not a single living person in this village? But why did they hang themselves? Brother Hongmao and I didn't dare to venture into the village, for fear of touching some taboo things and causing trouble.
The red-haired brother glanced at the little eyebrows next to me, and the little eyebrows snorted coldly: "What do you think I'm doing?" I'm not going in. I was scared of the gloomy appearance of this village. ”
The red-haired brother said unceremoniously: "You fart!" You're just a ghost, what are you afraid of, you go in first to see the situation. Xiaomei rolled her eyes, unwilling to go in, her eyes rolled slyly, and then pinched Xiaodouzi's fleshy face and said, "Douzi, are you afraid?" ”
Xiaodouzi wrinkled his nose, waved his fist and said, "With Daddy here, I'm not afraid." ”
Xiaomei said: "You're not afraid, then you go and have a look first." Little Beanzi scratched his head and said, "Why did I go in?" Uncle Red-Haired obviously asked you to go in. "Little Beans doesn't seem stupid either.
Xiaomei thought for a while and said, "Because I'm afraid, aren't you afraid?" Then you go in. Xiaodouzi blinked her eyes, as if wondering if what Xiaomei said made sense, and then looked at me again and said, "Daddy, am I going in?" ”
I glared at Xiaomei and said, "You dead girl, don't always rely on your own cleverness to play tricks on Little Bean." Xiaomei grinned and grimaced at me. This is not the first time Xiaomei has teased Xiaodouzi, Xiaomei is quirky and has many ghost ideas, while Xiaodouzi is more realistic and obedient. Basically, he will do whatever we tell him to do, Xiaomei is different, this girl is treacherous, and she supports Xiaodouzi to do the dirty work.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Hongmao, I think this village is a little weird, so let's not go in." The red-haired brother said, "We don't have a place to live tonight." There are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants in this mountain at night, and it is not safe for us to sleep outside. I still don't believe that a small village can stop us? ”
As soon as the red-haired brother said this, I naturally had no choice, so I walked to the village with him, and Xiaomei led Xiaodouzi behind me.
The village is very desolate, and it looks like it has been abandoned for some time.
"It seems that there is really no one in this village, let's just find a room and stay for one night." I watched for a moment and said. Supposedly, there are ghosts in this village, at least there will be some wandering ghosts, but I haven't seen anything, which is wrong.
The more abnormal something is, the weirder it becomes. As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons, that's the truth.
As soon as I finished speaking, a courtyard door across from me creaked open, which startled us on the spot. Shock is a nervous response, and although I have seen a lot of weird and scary things recently, the nerves will automatically react to such sudden things.
The gate of the courtyard opened suddenly, and an old man with a rickety body, gray hair, and sackcloth clothes appeared at the door, and in this desolate village, there were corpses hanging on the branches everywhere, but suddenly an old man appeared, and it was strange not to be scared to death.
The red-haired brother reacted immediately, and said coldly: "Where are the ghosts, what are you hiding here?" ”
The old man coughed twice, and said in a hoarse and vicissitudes of life: "You people, where did you come from? The old man thought he would never see anyone again. ”
I fixed my eyes and saw that this old man was not a ghost, but a real person, and the red-haired brother probably felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Look at it, this is a complete mistake." ”
I smiled, didn't pay attention to the red-haired brother, but walked over and asked, "Old man, are you alone in this village?" ”
The old man slowly raised his head to look at me, and looking at his appearance, I guess he must be in his eighties, and all his mouths have shriveled. The old man flattened his mouth and said, "In the past, many people left, and the old man was left alone, and he didn't want to go anywhere, so he stayed in this village for the rest of his life." What do you four do? ”
I thought for a moment and said, "We're college students, and we're here for a tour. Grandpa, why did the people in the village move away? Also, what's going on? I pointed to the corpses hanging from the branches.
The old man sighed, turned around and said, "The old man advises you to go where you come from, this mountain is not a casual adventure. The corpses hanging on the branches of this tree are all from the years of exploration in the mountains, but they are all dead, and it is not known who hung the corpses in the village. The people of the village were terrified. At first, the villagers were bold enough to take down the body and bury it, but the next day the body buried in the ground ran back to the tree and hung itself. Everyone was frightened for a while, saying that it was a monster in the mountains, and I was too old to leave, and I didn't want to go, so I stayed. ”
I was really shocked when I heard that. I never imagined that these hanging corpses were actually people who had come to the mountains to explore, and no one hung on these branches inexplicably, what was the intention?
I looked at Brother Hongmao and asked him if he knew, Brother Hongmao shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Don't look at me, I'm not Bai Xiaosheng, and I don't know what the situation is." Hey, Zhou Qing, you've also heard, it's very strange in this mountain, why don't we go? ”
Without hesitation, I said, "You can go back, I won't go back anyway." The red-haired brother patted me on the shoulder and said, "I'm just kidding, if you come, you will be safe." ”
Then we asked the old man if he could spend the night, it was getting dark. The old man said: "There is no problem with living, but no matter what movement you hear at night, don't run around, and don't go out, otherwise something will happen, and I, the old man, will not be responsible." ”
Brother Hongmao and I agreed to come down and followed the old man into the courtyard. This yard is not small, it is also dilapidated, there are some vegetables planted in the yard, and it is not easy for the old man to live alone in such a terrible place.
It's just that I always feel that there is something wrong with this, and I can't figure out what is wrong for a while.
