However, I searched through all the navigation maps and couldn't find the place of Jinchuan Road, and finally got some clues from an elderly taxi driver.

He said that Jinchuan Road was all in the early 80s of the last century, and after the reconstruction of the road, the road was gone.

Eventually, he parked his car in a small part of the old town near the outskirts of the city, saying that it was probably this one, but he couldn't remember the exact location.

The old man and I had to ask the residents in the neighborhood, but most of them said they had never heard of it, and it was close to dark, and just as I was about to give up, I saw a gray-haired old lady drying clothes at the door.

I walked over and asked, "Hello mother-in-law, I would like to ask you something." ”

"What's the matter, you say." The old lady seemed quite enthusiastic.

"Do you know Jinchuan Road?" When I asked this, I actually had no hope, and I don't know how many times I repeated this sentence today.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old woman's face changed suddenly, and she turned her head to look me up and down, with a little guard in her eyes, "Why are you inquiring about Jinchuan Road?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I knew that there was a play, so I hurriedly made up a reason, "Oh, that's right, I'm a student of the history department of Sichuan University, participating in a project organized by the school, collecting some historical materials of Chengdu, and I heard that there used to be a Jinchuan Road here, so I came to inquire about it." ”

After hearing that I was a college student, the old lady obviously let down her guard, and I climbed up the pole, picking out the good ones, and the old lady was finally fooled by me so that she couldn't close her mouth.

"You have found the right person, although there are many people living here, I am the only one who was born and raised here, and I am the only one who knows about Jinchuan Road."

Then she began to talk about some things about the past of Jinchuan Road, I pretended to listen with great interest next to me, and when she said energetically, I quickly interjected: "Mother-in-law, I heard you say so much just now, I want to ask, is there any special legend on Jinchuan Road, I am particularly interested in this." ”

Since Zheng Dongfei was so careful to tell me about this road that disappeared decades ago, I think there must be some unusual story here.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the old lady's expression changed significantly, and she looked at me and said, "There is a story, but I am afraid that you will be scared." ”

I hurriedly said that I was bold enough to tell her not to worry, but I had a vague feeling in my heart that things might be about to get into the subject.

"Okay, then I'll tell you, I've never told anyone about this, first, I'm afraid of scaring them, and second, no one will believe it, so you can listen to it as a story!"

Then I listened to her slowly tell a story about Jinchuan Road:

It was still during the Anti-Japanese War, when there was a lot of fighting outside, but Chengdu was not directly involved in the war because of its geographical location.

At that time, the whole of Sichuan belonged to the territory of the great warlord Liu Xiang, and although he belonged to the Kuomintang system, he was actually the emperor of the land, and even Chiang Kai-shek had to speak to him in a consultative tone.

He had a general under him who was particularly capable of fighting, and he was deeply liked by Liu Xiang, so he gave a house on Jinchuan Road to the general.

Although the general was a murderous general on the battlefield, he was an amorous prodigal son in private. He married a total of four aunts, and he loved one of them the most, named Cuicui.

This made the other aunts' wives unhappy, fanning the flames on weekdays, and did not make a mistake, but it did not affect the general's favor for Cuicui in the slightest.

It is said that a woman's jealousy is more terrifying than a volcanic eruption, and seeing that she is being snubbed day by day, the patience of the other aunts and wives has finally reached the limit, and after discussing it in private, a vicious plan is born.

At this critical juncture, Liu Xiang decided to send troops out of Sichuan to resist the war, and the general naturally went out with the army.

When parting, he said goodbye to Cuicui and asked Cuicui to wait for him to come back.

But he never expected that this would be the last time he and Cuicui would meet.

The next day, the vicious aunts and wives poisoned Cuicui, they first tied Cuicui, and then in front of Cuicui, they first cut her son, who was less than three years old, into pieces!

Then he shaved Cuicui's hair, stripped off her clothes, cut off her limbs, blinded her eyes and eardrums, scalded her throat with a red-hot soldering iron, and finally put Cuicui into a large vat with potion and fed it with rancid white rice every day.

Poor Cuicui, after suffering this hellish torture, took three months to completely lose her breath.

And then the horror began, Cuicui died on the night of the day, the whole house up and down more than 20 people all died violently, it is said that they were like crazy at that time, jumping up and down, and then hanging up, cutting throats.

The aunts were the most frenzied, first using butcher's knives to cut their own offspring into pieces, and then slashing each other with knives, and when they were found, none of them were good, and the room was full of stumps, broken arms and internal organs.

After the liberation, the house changed owners several times, but each time the owner moved in, something would inevitably happen within three months, either a tragic disaster, or a sudden madness.

Over time, no one dared to live in it, and the bungalow remained empty.

After the old lady finished telling this story, her face was also ugly, and she seemed to be frightened by the story she told.

My heart was pounding, not because I was scared, but because I had caught a key point in this story: rancid white rice!

And all the unbelievable things I have experienced started with a bowl of rancid white rice, and Zheng Dongfei has taken so much care to tell me this address, which shows that this story may be inevitably related to what happened to me!

"Where is that house now?" I hurriedly asked.

The old lady sighed, apparently still immersed in the story, and then pointed me in the right direction, and told me again and again that I must not approach the house out of curiosity.

I nodded yes, but immediately went to the old man and told him about it.

Because the old man was old, he couldn't bear my body and bones for a long time with me, so he found a small hotel in the local area to rest, and I was alone outside to inquire.

He was very excited after hearing this, "It must be, the matter must be on that house, let's go over and have a look now!" ”

The place the old lady said was not far from here, and after walking along an overgrown abandoned path for about twenty minutes, I saw a three-story house in front of me.

The dome is in European style, because it has been unmanaged for a long time, surrounded by weeds and shrubs, and the walls are covered with creepers, which looks eerie at night, and you can feel a strong yin aura coming to your face before you get in.

When I walked to the gate, I saw a mottled sign next to me, and the content written on it made my heart beat wildly:

No. 14 Jinchuan Road, Beishan Apartment.

It turns out that the North Mountain that Zheng Dong said is not the mountain he refers to, but here!

It seems that all the mysteries are hidden in this house!

Just as I was about to go over and push the door, I was grabbed by the old man: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Let's go in and have a look!"

"Just go in like this, don't you feel tired of being crooked!"

The old man glanced at the house, his eyes looked a little frightened, "This house is so gloomy, there must be no dirty things in it, if you go in like this, it won't be enough to stuff those things inside!" ”

"What then?" Hearing the old man say this, I also felt a little scared.

The old man frowned and pondered for a moment, "Go back first!" ”

Along the way, the old man's face looked very solemn, and he didn't speak, as if he was worried about something.

When I got back, he asked me to find a way to get a few yellow eels to come over, and they had to be females, and he waited for me in the hotel.

I don't know what he wants the yellow eel for, but seeing that his expression is quite serious, I didn't ask too much, and took a taxi to the nearest aquatic market and bought a few fat and big yellow eels.

Back at the hotel, the old man cut off the heads of the female eels with a knife, and then wrapped them in a piece of yellow paper prepared in advance, "You take this with you, with this thing, those things can't do anything to you." ”

Seeing that I was a little hesitant, the old man hurriedly added, saying that he had learned this from a gentleman in the village, and that carrying this thing with him was equivalent to carrying an amulet.

Then he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and urged me to hurry over, saying that the effect of this talisman would only be more than an hour.

I asked what are you doing, the old man sighed and said that he was old, and his yang energy was weak, even if he wore a talisman, it would not help, and it would be troublesome for one more person to go over, and the bell must be tied to the bell, and I have to complete this matter myself.

"I just thought about it, the lord that the takeaway brother said, Bacheng is the tragic death of Cuicui, you go into the room by room to look for until you find that Cuicui."

As he spoke, his face suddenly became solemn, and he looked at me and said, "Remember, in this process, if you hear movement, you must close your eyes immediately, you can only speak, you must not open your eyes to see, people's eyes are very yang, and it is easy to be exposed." ”

"If you hear someone ask you what you do, you say that you are delivering white rice, ask them if the Lord is there, and other than that, try to say as little as possible, if you say too much, you will lose, and the rest will depend on you to act on your own initiative."

After finishing speaking, he sighed lightly, stood up and patted me on the shoulder, and his face was much soothed than just now, "Xiao Zhang, in fact, you are a very good young man, I don't know why it is you, no matter what happens, we can be regarded as acquaintances, but it's a little regrettable, I haven't been able to have two drinks with you after knowing each other for so long." ”

Seeing the old man's concerned expression, I felt quite sour in my heart, "Don't worry, old man, when this matter is over, I will definitely treat you to a big drink!" ”

"Go ahead!"

The old man waved his hand at me, and when I reached the door, he said again, "One more thing you have to remember, if you find the Lord, that is, the woman named Cuicui, no matter what she asks, you have to answer truthfully, remember?" ”

"Don't worry, remember!"

When I went out, I felt a special sadness in my heart, and I didn't know if I would be able to come back.

I looked up at the dark sky, let out a long breath, and strode in the direction of my grave.
