Chapter 202: In the middle of the night, Devil May Cry
After passing through the stone bridge, Uncle You and Uncle You's attitude towards me has changed greatly, at first they still ignore me, but now, there are more words with me, and they don't seem lonely along the way. But when they asked me why my master wanted this cart of paper-making skills, I didn't know how to answer them, and if I told them that those paper figures that were spotted with cinnabar could harm people, I am afraid they would still not understand and believe it. Even so, I don't need to say anything, after all, they often have to run this business, and the less they know, the less they worry.
I don't know how long I walked, but I only saw the moonlight in the sky slowly sloping westward, and in front of me, there were many small hills, and the road was even more rugged and difficult to walk. Uncle You looked at the road in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Ergou, after a while, we will arrive at Broom Bay, that Xiadong Village, not far to the south of Broom Bay, you will know when you get to the place, in fact, that Xiadong Village is also a relatively remote place, Xiadong Village is further south of Taizu Bay, Taizu Bay is next to a Jinjia Mountain, that area is very far away from the city. ”
I was at a loss to think about it, who did it to the paper figures? Boxuan Mountain? Mr. Yao Qianshou Yao? No, they are all people who live by paper craft, and it is impossible to smash their own signboards, but on the other hand, if the more people die, then the better their paper craft business will be. But why haven't these things happened before, but only in this month?
No, I don't think most of them are sure that they have something to do with the papermaker, and the name Yao Qianshou, even if he doesn't engage in these evil things, the business will not be much worse. So who is going to do this? And first Dongpo Village, and then so far away Xiadong Village, Broom Bay, this is too confusing, it is said that these two villages can't fight each other, and there should be no grudges against the people behind the scenes, but even if there is a grudge, why do you want to do it?
The consequence of this can only be blamed on the paper maker, alas, I think about it, and my head is directly a mess of paste. I simply didn't think about it, and went further, the road was indeed much smoother, and the country road, especially in the second half of the night, was exceptionally quiet.
Soon, Uncle You pointed to a dense forest not far in front and said, "Mr. Ergou, look ahead, after the woods, it is Broom Bay, and Xiadong Village will be there soon, hehe!" ”
Half an hour later, I finally came to this broom bay, the terrain of this place is undulating, maybe a long time ago it was a water bay, but now it has been inhabited, the road of broom bay is silent, we pass quietly, there is no intention of staying, and not far ahead, and see a large village of houses piled up. I guess that's the Kasumito village we're going to. Although I arrived at the place, my heart couldn't calm down, but I was extremely worried, I didn't know what happened to this Xiadong Village, how serious it was!
At this time, Uncle You turned his head to his father and said, "Dad, there is no light in front, it stands to reason that someone should be waiting at the entrance of the village at this time!" ”
As he spoke, Uncle You touched it carefully, and I also followed to look at the Xiadong Village in front, and there was indeed no movement. Uncle You was stunned and said, "Maybe the person who answered overslept overly?" This is not good, according to the rules, the other party's family should come out to pick up, if we send it directly to their house, it will be too unruly, Guoxin, or you go faster, go to the village to see, let people come out to respond, I and Mr. Ergou go slowly, and when we get to the place, you can also pick up. ”
Uncle You nodded, handed the reins of the mule to Uncle You, and then ran quickly towards Xiadong Village. I was stunned, and hurriedly asked Uncle You, "Uncle You, there is still so much attention to this funeral?" Hehe, I don't understand, can you tell me? ”
When Uncle You heard this, he nodded slightly and said: "This funeral family, no matter who helps to do things, it is as big as a mountain, and the descendants of the deceased must do their best, otherwise it will be unfilial piety to spread it." Also, if the things are delivered directly to the door, it is inevitable that they will bring unclean things, if the main family responds at the entrance of the village in advance, even if they are stained with some lonely ghosts, the people who see the master's family also know that these things have owners, and they will not follow into the house again. Alas, after all, there are so many taboos in this industry! ”
I know this, those who often walk at night will inevitably provoke lonely ghosts on the side of the road, and once they are brought into the house, they will be in trouble.
Seeing Uncle You disappear far away at the entrance of Xiadong Village, Uncle You and I also slowed down and waited for the host to send someone out to answer before entering the village. But waiting left and right, almost half an hour later, seeing us grinding and chattering to the entrance of the village, but still did not see Uncle You come out with the master's family. At this time, I couldn't help but say, "Uncle You, does that dead man's family live far away?" Uncle You has been in for a while, why hasn't there been any movement now? ”
"I don't know about this, when I left, the paper cloth Bo Xuanshan also explained clearly enough, just in the south of this Xiadong Village, the family is also easy to find, someone has just died in the past few days, there must be candles in the courtyard and a mourning hall, you can see it at a glance. But why hasn't there been any movement yet? Uncle You said with a puzzled expression.
I frowned and said, "Uncle You, it's not a way for us to wait like this, since that family doesn't send someone out to pick it up, let's just send it to the door directly." The face is that they don't want it, it's not that we don't know the rules, and besides, we've been grinding in front for a long time, otherwise we should have been sent to the door a long time ago! ”
Uncle You sighed lightly: "Yes, Li'er is such a Li'er, but ......"
Seeing Uncle You's hesitation, I had to wait with Uncle You for a while. But after a while, not only did the master's family not send anyone out, but even Uncle You was not heard from. Uncle You stood up angrily and said angrily: "Why didn't this Guoxin come out?" Regardless of whether the family can come out or not, at least he should come back and report the news! Forget it, we'll deliver it straight to the door! ”
Hearing Uncle You say this, I hurriedly got up to help catch the car and walked quickly towards the village. The village was dark and silent, as if every family was asleep, and it was the second half of the night, and it was a good time to sleep. After walking for a while, this Xiadong Village can't help but make me feel strange, the middle of the whole village, is cut off by a large pond, the front half of the village, the back half of the village, the pond is oval, lying horizontally in the middle of the village. Uncle You touched it around, then pointed to the road to the west and said, "Mr. Ergou, let's go around the road over there!" ”
"Good!" I nodded, and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, and there seemed to be a strange sound in my ears.
"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"
Like a woman's crying, sad and sad, my heart was shocked, goosebumps instantly rose, at this moment, Uncle You looked at me with a frightened face, and whispered: "Mr. Ergou, did you hear any movement?" In the middle of the night, how can there be a girl crying? Something seems wrong! ”
Uncle You is a person who has lived most of his life and has a wealth of experience, if even he feels that something is wrong, then it is designated as wrong. I fixed my mind and looked left and right, but when I listened closely, I couldn't hear anything. Immediately said to Uncle You: "Hurry up!" ”
Without knowing why, Uncle You hurriedly drove the mule forward and walked quickly, while I quietly took down the Demon Sword and carried it in my hand in case I needed it. This Kasumidong village seems to be ...... It seems to be covered with a strange aura, eerie, unpredictable, and unpredictable. By the way, Uncle You has already come in before, nothing will happen, right? I glanced at Uncle You quietly, and although I didn't want to say anything, I couldn't help but get nervous.
It wasn't until I watched Uncle You bypass the pond that I spoke: "Uncle You, you go first, I'll go later!" ”
Uncle You looked back in amazement and asked, "Mr. Ergou, aren't you going with me?" ”
"No, I've already come to Xiadong Village anyway, I'll look for you later." I smiled and continued: "By the way, Uncle You, you go all the way to the deceased's house, don't go the wrong way!" "Don't give Uncle You a chance to ask again, I turned around and walked away. As soon as I turned to come back, I heard a little sobbing in my ears again, and the sound made me feel uncomfortable. I steadied myself, barely suppressing my nervousness, and carefully stomped around, hoping to find the source of the crying sound.
The more this unknown thing that cannot be seen or touched, the more frightened it is, because this situation makes me unable to make a response at all, maybe it is blind worry, or maybe it is in vain, but, but if something unexpected happens, it will kill people!
I don't know how much to be afraid of ghosts and demons, I'm afraid that I don't know what the situation is, and it's the most tormenting......
"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"
Coldly, I heard the crying sound, which seemed to be a little louder. Secretly tugging at my heart, this shows that I have found the right direction, but the crying sound pierces people's hearts, as if the sound of floating in the Nine Hells makes people feel hairy when they listen to it...... I frowned, my palm gripping the hilt of the sword, and I glanced down at the warp clothes wrapped around the Demon Sword, maybe at the right time, I must invite the Demon Sword out!
