Chapter Seventy-Four: Telephone
The old man told me that since the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were buried, the mass graves in the back mountains have not stopped for a day, first some villagers slept until midnight and were woken up by the cry of a woman from the back mountain, the cry was hoarse as if a night owl was calling, and the whole night did not stop, and the villagers went to the thatched house to pee with the accompaniment of crying.
Later, a family in the village lost their child in the middle of the night, and the old lady who was so anxious about the child knocked on the door from door to door, mobilized the villagers to look for it together, but did not find it all night, but the child walked back by himself the next day.
Everyone in the village gathered around and asked where the child had been yesterday. The child said that he went to the back mountain yesterday to catch gnats, and was brought into the house by an aunt who had no legs, and there was a fierce old woman living in her house, shouting to eat his heart and liver.
The villagers panicked after listening to the child's story, isn't the lame woman the daughter-in-law of the blacksmith's family? It must be that the anger of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has not disappeared, and they have begun to plague the people in the village after their deaths!
But the child's mother thought about it and felt that something was wrong, if her son was really caught by her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, how could she easily let him come back? I thought it was because the child hid outside all night and went home for fear of being beaten, so he deliberately lied and spread rumors.
The child smiled directly, and said Mother, I really didn't lie to you, last night, my heart and liver were taken away by the lame aunt, do you believe it......
The child unbuttoned his shirt, revealing two bloody holes, one in the chest and one in the lower abdomen, the heart and liver were gone, and a few of Bai Huahua's intestines were exposed!
The child laughed miserably as he walked towards the frightened villagers, his voice terrifying, "I didn't lie, I really didn't lie, my heart and liver were gone yesterday ......"
Speaking of this, I only heard a "bang", and the child fell down in response, and suddenly stopped moving. The child's mother reacted and rushed over to pick up her son like crazy, and the villagers could still see the smirk on the child's face, but the breathing had already stopped.
The blood on the child's wound had dried, indicating that he had been dead for at least a few hours!
……
After listening to this story, I broke out in a cold sweat on my back, and I didn't even notice that the cigarette butt was burned, and the spark burned into my mouth, so I jumped up with a "ahhhh ”
The old man smiled and said yes, this is an old story of more than ten years, after that, the chaotic wind in the back mountain has become a wasteland, if someone dies in the village, the family would rather be sent to be cremated than dare to be buried in the back mountain, for fear that the family will be bullied by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after death, no one dares to enter the mountain in broad daylight, only the blacksmith is not afraid.
I said in a cold sweat, "And then, what happened to the blacksmith?" ”
The old man told me that later the villagers united to report the blacksmith, and the county police arrested the blacksmith and sentenced him to 11 years and three months, and the blacksmith behaved very well in prison, so the government commuted his sentence to a total of two years, six months and seven days.
I wondered, "Uncle, how do you know so clearly about the sentence served by a blacksmith?" All this was told to you by the blacksmith after he was released from prison? ”
The old man's expression was stiff, hard as a stone, and he pointed to himself, "Of course I remember clearly, because I am the blacksmith." ”
What the!
I was so frightened that my brain was puffing up, and a cool breath jumped up from the palm of my feet, rushed straight to the Tianling Gai, and ran towards the entrance of the village.
I didn't dare to turn back until I ran away, only to see the old blacksmith still sitting straight at the entrance of the village, staring at me with one eye, and smiling and saying, "Young man, come and let's talk for a while...... The village has been deserted for more than ten years, and I am the only one still alive, so boring, after chatting with you, I plan to go into the mountains to accompany my wife and daughter-in-law......"
!
I was swishing in a cold sweat, and I ran blindly on my back for a while, and the old blacksmith sneering at me always lingered in my mind.
After running for several miles, he dared to stop and catch his breath when he reached the side of the road.
I should have thought that besides the blacksmith back then, what normal person would dare to live in this village?
When I was stunned, my phone rang suddenly, and I was so nervous that I screamed out in fright.
Cold sweat poured down my head like a fountain, I was stunned for a long time, staring directly at my phone, but the phone screen showed a name that surprised me - this call was actually from Fangfang!
What did she call me for?
I hesitated to take it, although Fangfang used to be my client, but the impression she left on me was so bad, plus I was in a bad mood now, and I didn't want to talk nonsense with her for a word.
I simply pressed the AFK button.
My calves and stomach are still trembling when I hold the phone, but my heart is not as panicked as just now, I got up and barely walked a few steps, the mobile phone ringtone rang again, and the second call was also from Fangfang.
I had no choice but to answer, and as soon as I put the phone to my ear, Fang Fang's harsh voice came from the phone, "Ye Xun, you big liar, I* your eighth ancestor, you hurt me, you hurt me!" "Her voice was hoarse, her mouth seemed to be blocked by something, and her scolding was very muffled, which startled me a lot.
Neuropathy!
I didn't even think about it, I just hung up the phone.
As soon as I hung up the phone, the ringtone rang again, I was so annoyed that I answered the phone and scolded, "Are you sick?" Do you want me to be responsible for taking over a business until I die of old age, damn it, if I didn't look at Liu Mei's face, I would ......"
"Brother Ye, stop scolding, I'm Cheng Yu." A cold voice interrupted me.
I stopped and said, "It's you, how did you be this boyfriend?" Did you quarrel with Fangfang again? ”
Cheng Yu laughed dryly, and his tone was so stiff that he seemed to be grinding a saw blade, "Don't worry, we're just joking, bothering you, I'm really sorry, toot ......"
The moment I hung up the phone, I vaguely heard Fangfang covering her mouth and making a "whine" sound.
Wrong!
I don't know why, but after answering this call, my heart hung in the air. It's impossible for Fangfang to contact me for no reason, listening to her tone, things don't seem to be ordinary, but why did Cheng Yu say that she was just joking?
I quickly dialed the number, but the other party did not answer, the bell rang until I hung up, I did not give up and continued to call Fangfang's mobile phone number, prompting Fangfang's mobile phone to be turned off.
How can it be shut down?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, so I quickly found Liu Mei's mobile phone number, but Liu Mei quickly answered and asked me why I was calling myself, she hadn't gotten off work yet.
I said, "Fangfang called me just now, and said that I hurt her, and then the phone was snatched by Cheng Yu somehow, and it was turned off immediately, I think something is wrong, you hurry up and go to Fangfang's house to have a look!" ”
Liu Mei also panicked, she said that she would go to find Fangfang immediately.
I hung up the phone and was upset, hoping that my bad premonition would not come true. I hurried back to the city to take a taxi, and halfway to Fangfang's house, another phone call came.
Liu Mei on the phone cried fiercely, "Fangfang is dead, she was strangled to death by Cheng Yu!" ”
He's dead?
I was horrified, and the phone slipped straight out of my hand and fell on my knee.
