Chapter 25: The Tragedy in the Cabin
I don't know: who is this little girl named "Mary", the other "Mary" written in her diary? One thing is certain, however, and that is that the name of this little girl is Mary!
Little Mary's father, the bearded man, wanted his daughter to look up. However, as if she had not heard anything, the little Mary was still playing with her own rag doll, but she did not want to raise her head.
"Mary, why don't you look up?" The bearded man got angry, "Dad, is it easy for me to be this ranger?" Isn't it all for this family that I work so hard every day to go out? Now, I've finally come home, why, don't you want to be close to Dad and me? ”
But his daughter, little Mary, did not look up or speak.
"What are you still doing with ragdolls?" Mary's father stood up and yelled, "Why don't you all ignore me? Why? ”
The woman who was doing the hygiene, who was supposed to be Mary's mother, stopped suddenly.
"Are you too embarrassed to yell here?" The woman let out a shrill cry, "You haven't been home all day, leaving our mother and daughter here in the cold, and you're embarrassed to scream at the child?" ”
Hearing this, the bearded man, that is, the ranger's fire, was even greater.
He was furious and yelled, "Stinky, you still dare to speak ill of me? Do you think I don't know about the ugly thing you have with that man? ”
When the woman heard this, she was stunned, turned her head, and looked in the direction of the stairs.
At this moment, I finally saw the woman, Mary's mother.
Oh my God, this woman is so old!
Yes, the ranger's wife, the mother of the little girl Mary, had an old face. She didn't seem to look like the ranger's wife, but like his mother, no, like the man's grandmother.
It's really strange that such an old woman would also carry her husband behind her back, what ugly things do she have with other men?
However, I immediately retracted my head so that the woman would not find out.
Suddenly, I heard a crisp slap in the face, yes, it was the sound of a slap.
I poked my head out again, only to find that the woman had lowered her head and her hands were still on her face.
It turned out that it was his husband, and the ranger gave her a slap.
The ranger was still yelling, "Slut, how dare you steal wild men outside? You, Pan Jinlian, sooner or later, will be dug out of your heart and lungs! ”
Pan Jinlian? As soon as I heard these three words, I shuddered.
I remembered the poster of "Wu Song Kills His Sister-in-law", and on the stage of the theater, the actor who played Wu Song killed the actress who played Pan Jinlian with a knife.
The ranger's wife sat on the ground and suddenly burst into tears.
Her hair turned white in an instant, and she completely turned into an old and ugly old woman.
However, the man did not give up. He went crazy, screaming and scolding, and smashing and kicking the things in the house so hard that he kicked the brazier open, and the charcoal was scattered all over the ground.
This guy, he's completely insane!
Strangely, the couple was crying and fussing here, but the little girl, that is, Mary, still did not look up, and still played with the doll in her hand, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with her.
The man had probably smashed enough, and had made enough trouble, so he turned around, walked to the wall, picked up his shotgun again, and put on his hat.
Is he going out again?
"Mary, come with me! Let's get out of here and never come back! The ranger turned and shouted at the little girl.
Still, Mary kept her head down, as if she hadn't heard.
Could it be that this little girl is deaf?
Suddenly, the woman screamed like crazy and rushed towards the man.
"Don't take my baby! No! ”
Seeing the woman rushing over, the ranger was clearly unprepared. At the same time, the shotgun in his hand also rang out, and the muzzle of the gun was filled with a puff of green smoke.
The woman, the ranger's wife, collapsed, her chest red a lot. Blood, instantly stained the ground red.
"Huh? No, no! The ranger froze, and the shotgun in his hand was also thrown on the ground.
Then he rushed forward, hugged his wife and screamed. However, it was useless, the woman died and would never wake up.
Oh my God, I actually witnessed a family tragedy, a bloody tragedy!
This ranger actually killed his wife? Although he may have killed by mistake, he killed his wife after all!
The woman lay in a pool of blood, and the man hugged her, crying.
At that moment, the little girl, Mary, slowly stood up and raised her head.
However, unexpectedly, she was not shocked or saddened by her mother's tragic death.
On the contrary, she said coldly: "Only Mary will be with me, and if one day I am going to leave this world, Mary, I will also take you with me." ”
Then, slowly, she turned around, in the direction I was, and turned around!
I finally saw the little girl's face clearly.
However, when I saw this face, I almost screamed!
That's not really a little girl! That face is obviously the face of the doll as tall as a person in the corner of the second floor!
That's right, it's not Mary at all, it's the doll!
This doll has come to life!
It grinned, as if smiling at something. But what was she laughing at? Could it be that the tragedy that happened here was exactly what she was looking forward to?
The doll's eyes suddenly turned to this side again, as if looking at the stairs.
I was so frightened that I retracted my head again.
But when I poked my head out again, I saw something even more terrifying!
The bearded man, the ranger who killed his wife, turned the shotgun in his hand upside down, and the muzzle of the gun was actually stuffed into his mouth!
Of course I understood what he was going to do, and at this moment, I could no longer be an indifferent bystander!
"No, don't!" I screamed and rushed down the stairs.
However, it was too late, the ranger had already pulled the trigger!
After the gunshot, he fell like a collapsed mountain. His blood splattered, but those eyes were still open, as if telling some kind of unwillingness and regret.
In this way, I watched this family of two die in front of me!
The two corpses were lying quietly on the ground, and the air was still filled with the smell of gunsmoke.
I stood there dumbfounded, like a clay sculpture.
I turned my head and saw the doll again. Its big eyes were looking at me, too. Her mouth was grinning, as if she were laughing, and as if she was crying.
Suddenly, I heard another voice, coming from the doll.
However, her mouth didn't move at all!
"Mary, I'm going to tell you a story, would you like to hear it? In this house, no one pays attention to us, only I can be with you forever. If one day, I'm going to leave this world, Mary, and you're going to come with me. ”
Then, there was a faint voice: "Once upon a time, there was a little girl, and her parents were about to divorce······"
"Shut up!" I screamed.
Just after I screamed, the doll disappeared?
Oh my God, what's going on?
When I looked back, I found that not only the big doll, but also the ranger, and his wife, and even the shotgun, the hat, and the little doll, had disappeared without a trace.
Inside, the room has changed back to its original appearance.
The coal-fired brazier was not kicked away, but remained quietly on the ground, where the fire had been extinguished. In that pot, I didn't see any paper money, paper horses, or paper people again, only the gray charcoal.
The door that had been opened by the rangers was closed again. The room was dark again.
The cold wind, blowing through the window, was blowing on my face.
Suddenly, I felt like I was in a different world.
Could it be that what I just saw was just another illusion?
It dawned on me that in this small cabin, there used to be a family of three. However, after that tragedy, the ranger and his wife were dead, and the house became an empty house from then on.
But what about the little girl named Mary? Why doesn't she live here anymore?
However, this seems to be an easy explanation. Since both parents are dead, then this Mary has naturally become an orphan girl, how can she live alone in this house?
But where did little Mary go? Is she still alive now?
Also, that talking doll is too weird, isn't it?
Why did she keep saying that? Why did she have to take Mary with her?
I looked at the room again, only to see that there was a faint incandescent light above my head. This is the only light source in the room.
This house, which looks like a normal house, does not seem to be any different. The paper figures, paper horses, and paper houses that used to pile up are gone.
In addition to the charcoal brazier, there was a wooden table in the middle of the room, and a few wooden chairs beside it, just like I had just seen. However, it seems that it has been uninhabited for a long time, with thick cobwebs hanging on the walls and dust falling to the ground. A worn-out broom, and a mop that had long since dried without a drop of water, quietly fell in the corner.
However, under that table, I stumbled upon a drawing.
In that picture, it depicts a family of three. In the middle, there is a little girl holding a doll, and on both sides, it should be her parents. This painting looks very immature, obviously, this should be painted by the little girl named Mary, right?
I understood: the girl in this painting was the little Mary herself. It's a pity that this family, after this tragedy, was completely broken, leaving only this picture that still records her happy memories.
Suddenly, I realized: there seems to be something on the back of this painting.
So, I turned the picture over, and it turned out that the back of the picture was actually an incomplete map!
In this map, I saw the red cross symbol representing the hospital, this is probably the ghost hospital, right?
I drew it on the map, and yes, this is the ghost hospital, because there is a mountain sign behind it. However, the part of the Dream Hill cemetery is gone, or it is not painted on it at all.
In the upper right corner of the Ghost Hospital, northeast, behind the mountain, a road appears. Along that road, I saw a sign for a police station.
Police station? How far is it from here?
Seeing this, I immediately had my spirits.
However, judging by the map, I had to walk a long way to get there.
Either way, the map was useful to me.
So, I carefully folded the map, the one the little girl had made, and put it in my pocket.
Now, I'd better get out of here quickly, lest there be another fire.
So, I went back the way I came, climbed up the window again, and jumped out.
I thought I would be able to escape from this terrible cabin once and for all. However, things are not as simple as I thought.
I'm still coming back to this chalet······
