Chapter 200: Cannibalism
In Pan Guanghai's own words, in the more than 20 days after the girl's death, he actually didn't want to live much.
Especially when she saw that she tossed a few people from the village and didn't dare to go out at night, Pan Guanghai felt that she was here to take revenge for his life, so these days, he has been waiting for her to take his life.
However, this time has not come for a long time, every day the girl tosses, Pan Guanghai has to endure one more day of suffering, after hearing that the two thieves who came to steal things died by the river last night, he didn't dare to look at it, and always felt that those two people were killed by him......
"Woo ~ I don't want to live anymore, come and take me away, I don't ask you to spare my life, I just ask you to forgive me, so that I can be with you after I die......"
"Come and take me, please, I don't want to live any longer, come on...... Yes! I was wrong! I'm sorry! Woo I was wrong, I don't dare anymore! Please! Ah, help! ……”
Just now, he was barely logical, and he pressed it in his heart, and he never dared to say anything about what anyone said, Pan Guanghai's tone suddenly became poignant and sharp, as if he had seen something extremely terrible, and he wanted to break his throat.
His voice was so loud that not only I could hear it clearly, but also my parents and their parents not far behind, as well as the people nearby who heard the noise but didn't dare to come out, could also hear it clearly.
Although it is intermittent, the preface does not match the afterword, and most of them have no logic at all, as long as you sort it out a little, you can fully understand what Pan Guanghai is saying.
This is a strange thing that a young girl, who has been looking at their affairs since marrying Pan Guanghai, has always been unable to figure out the strangeness, and tonight with him falling into evil spirits, he ran to this place to talk nonsense, and finally had an answer.
Since the girl was tricked by him and is completely inseparable, the abnormal behavior of the two after marriage can be understood.
During the silent wait-and-see, Pan Guanghai cried and screamed hysterically, and then hammered his chest with his fist, and started to speak from the beginning again.
"Xiao Nian, think of a way to make him stop, everyone was scared a lot, and if he continues to quarrel like this, I'm afraid that something will happen if nothing happens, it doesn't matter if he dies or not, the key is that he can't hurt others anymore." At some point, the village chief had come behind me, his eyes solemn and implied anger, and his face was pale.
It was only then that I noticed that there were faint cries of children in several places around me, and I was obviously frightened.
It is true that Pan Guanghai can no longer be allowed to be tossed, to be exact, he can no longer let the white-faced scholar on his body toss, it doesn't matter much to adults, but with such a big village, there are not only adults, but also many children.
Although this white-faced scholar came very strangely, at this time, I had to be hard-headed and have to go up.
Taking a deep breath, holding the bronze statue of the ancestor tightly, he just took a few steps forward, ready to come to the text first, discuss it with the white-faced scholar, and let it leave on its own, Pan Guanghai, who was possessed by it, suddenly let out a wild bark like a dog, bounced off the ground, and rushed straight to me!
I couldn't help but change my face, and secretly raised the bronze statue of my grandfather, ready to smash it head-on at his close moment.
Because of the existence of the white-faced scholar, I have never dared to relax my vigilance, and the reaction is already very fast, but I didn't think about it or slowed down, and I just lifted it and didn't have time to smash it, Pan Guanghai, who was screaming wildly, set off a gust of wind, brushed my right shoulder, and rushed down to Dazhai.
I was young and nothing, but I was knocked down and stumbled to my feet, but the village chief in the two parts behind my right shoulder didn't react so quickly, and I didn't have such good luck, and I was immediately knocked down head-on with an "oops".
Fortunately, Pan Guanghai bumped him over, and at the moment he stepped over, he didn't step on him, otherwise this old arm and leg would have been offended.
After reacting, Pan Guanghai had already rushed to the place where my dad was, but fortunately, they had more time to react, although they were in a hurry, they finally retreated to the side of the road and avoided the past.
Seeing that the village chief had been knocked down, I hurriedly wanted to help him.
"Leave me alone, I'm fine! You're young, hurry up and chase him, don't let him get lost! The village chief waved at me and shouted.
was drunk by him, and I suddenly came to my senses, and hurriedly chased after him.
"Young master, I am the general's attendant, on the order of the general, I came to assist you in suppressing the murder of the son and mother, the whereabouts of the murderer are now unknown, I am going to use this person as a bait to lure her out, the first place to go is the murderous lair, I will go first, you will come quickly, I will go~"
While I was chasing down the stockade, a voice came back from far away from where Pan Guanghai had disappeared.
It is the childish voice of the white-faced scholar.
I was immediately stunned, and my steps paused.
After a long time, this white-faced scholar with unknown origin and strange methods is the attendant of the general's soul?
When I reacted, I was overjoyed.
Knowing where it was going to control Pan Guanghai to go, I was not so anxious to chase after it, since I was going to the graveyard of the young girl, I had to settle the elders in front of me first.
The old village chief had already gotten up, and when he saw that I didn't chase me, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked what was wrong while running towards me?
I replied that it was okay, there was no need to be in a hurry, I already knew where he was going, and then looked at my parents, thought about it, and said, "Mom, I am going to follow Pan Guanghai to a place now, the road is not easy to walk at night, why don't you go back first, don't worry, I already have a helper, and nothing will happen." ”
"What helper, where? Why didn't Mom see it? Where are you going with him? "Naturally, my mother won't really rest assured because of my few words.
Lying at this time, if it is discovered, it will be self-defeating, which makes my mother even more worried, so after a little hesitation, I said: "I want to go to Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law's grave, but don't worry, I really have a helper, and nothing will happen." ”
"What?!" As soon as I heard that I was going to a place where no one dared to go, my mother's face immediately changed, and she turned pale, and she was so frightened that she didn't listen to the rest at all.
Not only my mother, but when she heard that she was going to the grave, everyone's expressions were similar to hers, which shows how terrifying that place is for people.
I knew that at this time, they wouldn't really be at ease with anything, but there was no other way, so I had to patiently explain: "Really, don't worry, nothing will happen, I promise to come back intact in a while." ”
At the critical moment, the man was relatively calm, and after my father looked at me solemnly for a while, he asked me: "You said that you already have a helper, what kind of helper is it?" ”
I replied seriously: "At this time, I won't hide it from you, my helper is not a person, but an ancient general on the bank of the Xinyang River, who went to that place during the day just to tell it about it, and now it has arrived, and it is the general's subordinates who went to Pan Guanghai's body just now and asked him to tell those things." ”
"What?" All the elders looked at me with shocked faces, their eyes wide in disbelief.
Although people within a radius of dozens of miles know that the general's tomb is very effective, and they have heard all kinds of legends about the general since they were children, these few words of mine are still too incredible, just like hearing mythological stories.
It's not that I don't believe that the general's spirit really exists, but I can't believe that it will appear to talk to me and come to be my helper.
The general is a god, how can he surrender himself to be a mortal's helper?
Time is pressing, and I don't have time to explain too much, knowing that these words are too untrue for ordinary people, I simply looked at Pan Guanglong and said: "I'm not joking with foolish words, but seriously, I don't believe you can ask Brother Guanglong, he went with me, when he was in the general's grave during the day, the general went up to him and talked to me, Brother Guanglong knew that what I said was true." ”
Pan Guanglong also knew that he had to help me speak at this time, so he nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, when I was in front of the general's grave, I fainted for more than an hour, and I slept on the ground when I woke up. ”
"Okay, dad believes you, I'll go with you and help you lead the way, you don't know where you are." After a moment of silence, my dad came to his senses and slapped his thigh and said.
I suddenly wanted to complain, but I didn't dare to show it.
"I'm going to check it out too." I was secretly having a headache when my grandfather spoke again.
I hurriedly shook my head and sighed: "Master, it's night, the road is slippery and steep, don't make a mess, okay?" ”
At this time, the best way to convince them more quickly and convince them that there is no safety problem is to let people follow me, and blindly arrange for them to wait at home will only make them more worried.
So after thinking about it for a while, I said, "Okay, my dad will go with me, and everyone will wait for us at home?" Rest assured, nothing will happen, and no one will pass by, because this kind of thing is not suitable for many people. ”
Seeing that I finally let go of my dad to follow, my mom suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how fanciful she is, she can't get them to accompany her in person, and even if she can't go, I believe that no matter what happens, my dad will protect me.
"Take me with you, more than one person will take care of you, I have already run with you during the day, and if you want to accompany you, you will accompany you to the end." At this time, Pan Guanglong said again.
I didn't hesitate too much, I looked at him a few times, and made sure that he had recovered a lot of strength, so I nodded in agreement.
Then he looked at the two village cadres who were about to speak, and a few other elders who also wanted to speak, and said before they spoke: "That's it, it's really not suitable to go to the grave, just wait for us to come back at home, anyway, it's not far, if there is any movement, you can hear some of it here." ”
Seeing that I really refused to say yes, everyone had to give up.
So I asked my mother and grandfather to accompany everyone to wait for the news at the village party secretary's house below the road, and I, my father and Pan Guanglong, together with my father and Pan Guanglong, went down the river dam with a flashlight and rushed to the big mountain forest opposite.
After delaying this effort, Pan Guanghai had already passed the river dam and went to the opposite half of the mountain, and he couldn't see anything, only his crying and laughing voice, which came from the black mountain from time to time.
Under the influence of the white-faced scholar, he has gone crazy, he only has the destination in his heart, and he doesn't care where the road is, like a fly, so although we have been delayed for a while, we haven't actually fallen too far.
After crossing the bridge under Pan's courtyard and the farmland in the dam, and climbing up the mountain for seven or eight minutes, Pan Guanghai's voice became closer and closer, and it sounded at most two hundred meters away from us.
After speeding up his pace and chasing for a few more minutes, he could already follow the light of the flashlight and see his vague figure covered in mud.
At this time, there was less than half the distance left from the place where his daughter-in-law was buried, and we only had to go to a canal across a few fields above us, and follow the canal forward, and after two bends, we could go to the large woods at the top of the hill.
A slope under the woods near the mountain bay is the ancestral tomb of the Pan family, and Pan Guanghai's daughter-in-law is also buried there.
When we came to the canal, although it was much smoother, because it was occupied by most of the canal, the path left for people to walk was very narrow, so we didn't dare to go too fast.
But even so, I almost stepped on the air twice, once almost rolling down a paddy field a few meters below the canal, and once I almost slipped into the canal and hit my knee.
Just as we were regaining our stability and continuing to walk, there was a sound of water under the canal dozens of meters in front of us.
I turned the flashlight over and took a look, and sure enough, Pan Guanghai slipped and rolled into a paddy field, struggling in the muddy water, snoring again and again.
Seeing that his feet and hands had sunk into the mud, he couldn't get up no matter how hard he struggled, and he had choked on several mouthfuls of water, so we hurriedly quickened our pace and chased after him.
People who grew up in the countryside know that although the water in this paddy field is not deep, it is not a joke, especially some perennial water, soft mud layer deep "rotten pulp field", a foot down, will almost sink to the root of the thigh, pull the leg is difficult, fall in this kind of paddy field, want to get up alone is a need for experience and physical strength, the more panicked, the more unable to get up.
When I was a child, a distant cousin of mine, who was strong and strong, was walking at night after drinking, accidentally fell into a paddy field, was stunned and failed to get up, and finally drowned in that paddy field, his mouth and nose filled with mud.
Half a year later, another old man in Yangjiaba slipped and drowned in the same position when he was looking for cattle in the mountains in the evening.
Since then, the owner of that paddy field has abandoned the wilderness and not planted, and people are also very apt, calling that field "man-eating field", whether it can pass from there, even if it is to pass, it is also tense nerves, cautious, for fear that they will fall into it and become another unjust ghost.
With Pan Guanghai's current state of madness and sanity, since he couldn't get up in the first few strokes, the possibility of being able to get up in the back is very small, or in a few strokes, his strength will be exhausted.
So if you don't get it right, that long strip of paddy field will become a "man-eating field" again.
Naturally, we can't let him die so inexplicably, so how can we not be in a hurry.
