Chapter 31: The Yellow Mouth Mound
Da Lei had a dream at night, and in the dream he knew that he was in a dream. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I seemed to be in a palace, and I saw a man lying in the golden silk in the haze, the man seemed to be having a nightmare, his brows were furrowed, and he muttered softly, and kicked off the quilt, grabbing something in the air with his hands.
This person...... I think I've seen it somewhere......
Da Lei approached little by little, he wanted to open the curtain to see who was lying down.
At the moment when his hand touched Luo Wei, his body accidentally hit the wooden table in front of the bed, knocking over the cup on the table, only to hear the crisp sound of Ding Lingdang, the cup fell on the bed, and the water spilled on the man's feet.
The wind howled outside the palace, the wooden doors and windows creaked, and the man on the bed woke up and sat up, gasping for breath and soaking through his clothes.
The fragile window could not withstand the fierceness of the storm, and the ground was blown open, and the biting wind broke in with a roar, and the curtain fanned, revealing the faces of the people on the couch.
That person .... It's the sixth!!!
The forehead of the sixth child was dense with cold sweat, and the two nurses and maid-like people arrived when they heard the sound, still holding two babies in their hands.
They stood in front of the bed and asked about it, but ignored Da Lei.
Da Lei stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the two of them, but the two of them did not react.
It turned out that he couldn't be seen at all! It seems that he appeared in the dream from the perspective of a bystander.
He looked at the two babies by himself, the little faces of the pink jade were really good-looking, but the two big black eyes kept staring at Da Lei.
Can babies see him?
Da Lei grimaced, and sure enough, he heard the baby's silver bell-like giggles.
What two cute little guys.
Suddenly, the sixth child who heard the baby's laughter screamed like crazy, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face was hideous and terrifying, and he calmed down for a long time.
The sixth child stared ahead with stunned eyes, without saying a word, and the infant child looked around curiously with his eyes open. The atmosphere was quietly terrifying.
"Click, click."
Da Lei raised his head and saw the sixth child sitting quietly on the bed, he began to turn his neck with a weird smile on his face, and he turned in a whole circle!
Then he raised his hand and pointed behind Da Lei: "There is someone behind you." ”
As soon as the words fell, I only heard a "click", and the sixth child's head fell to the ground.
Da Lei turned around, and there was nothing behind him.
Da Lei woke up suddenly, gasping for air.
It was still dark, and he patted his chest to try to calm himself down. Xiao Hai was sleeping next to Zhengxiang, and the call came evenly, Da Lei looked at the people next to him by the moonlight, and was envious.
I want to get a good night's sleep, too.
He got up and scooped up his sip of water, breathing a sigh of relief. Turning around, I vaguely saw a dark shadow shaking in the doorway.
"Who?!"
Da Lei's nerves that had just been loosened tensed again.
"Shh A petite shadow came out from behind the door: "Uncle, it's me." ”
"Senua?" Da Lei was surprised.
"Shhhhh
Da Lei glanced at Xiao Hai, the child turned over, and fell asleep again without knowing what to say.
"Why are you here?" Da Lei squatted down and asked softly.
"I couldn't sleep, so I walked around and didn't know why I ended up here."
"Your parents will be worried when they wake up and find that you are not there, I will send you back."
"Hmm." Senna nodded, then asked, "Come with me before sending me back, it's too boring at night." ”
"Okay."
The moon was hazy, and it smelled a little white.
Senna kept her head down and kicked the pebbles intently all the way. Da Lei looked at her playing quietly and felt cute, thinking that if he hadn't come here, he would definitely be married, and the children might be able to play soy sauce.
"You're not happy?"
"Huh?" Da Lei came back to his senses, but saw Senna jump in front of him from the side at some point, she tilted her head, and two big black eyes looked at her.
This eye....
It's like a baby in a dream...
Thinking of this, Da Lei's heart sank and he shuddered.
"Uncle, you have something on your mind."
I don't know why, Da Lei looked at Senna and only felt that she was a little strange, and the tone and expression of her voice looked like a child!
Especially those eyes, which seem to be able to see through everything, are like two mirrors in the dark night, reflecting Da Lei's pale and weak face.
"Senua, how old are you?"
"Nine."
"It doesn't look like it at all." After a pause, Da Lei said: "I feel that you are more mature than your actual age." ”
Senna glanced at him and muttered, "You guys outside talk weirdly. ”
"Mom and Dad would be angry if they knew you sneaked out again, right? Just like Canu. ”
Senna stopped.
"What's wrong?" Da Lei turned around and asked.
"It's okay, I sneaked out this time, so uncle, you have to keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone that they saw me. ”
"Don't worry. But..."Da Lei thought for a while and said, "It's better not to come out at night, there will be unclean things." ”
"Dirt knows night and day."
"What do you mean?"
"You go, this is not for you."
"Senua?" Da Lei pressed her shoulder and asked, "I think you're a little abnormal tonight, do you know something?" Tell me. ”
"I don't know anything." Senna raised her head and said calmly, "You are not from our clan, and this place is certainly not suitable for you, so I hope you leave early and return to the place that belongs to you." ”
"But I'm ...... for the time being"
"Uncle." Senna interrupted him, pointed to the front and said, "My house is almost here, you can hold on a little longer and send me off." If you get tired of walking, sit down and rest for a while. ”
"It's okay, let's go."
The road at night is dark and long, and there is no end in sight.
"Senua, how far is your house?"
No one answered.
"Stop..."Da Lei turned around, where was Senna's shadow, and there was only himself around in the dark!
"It's... Where is this? ”
Da Lei wiped his eyes, at this moment he was in a secluded corridor!!
What about villages? What is this place?
The boxy corridor was eerily quiet, with a few candles on the walls emitting a faint glow.
"Anyone?" Da Lei shouted.
The empty corridor went unanswered.
Da Lei turned around, and it was pitch black behind him. Turning around, it was just as dark in front of me.
After thinking about it, Da Lei still decided to move forward.
Are you dreaming?
Like a dream within a dream?
Da Lei walked and walked, no matter how he pinched himself and beat himself during this period, it was useless.
The pain was intense, but he didn't wake up at all in this damn corridor.
If it's not a dream within a dream, then have you hit something unclean?
....... Could it be Senua?
I don't know how long I walked, Da Lei was a little tired, and vaguely, he saw a big wooden chair in front of him. The chair was polished with wax and glowed, and the base was round and large.
It must be very comfortable to sit on... Da Lei thought.
This thought became more and more intense, and he quickened his pace and ran forward, and the moment he touched the chair and was about to sit down, a powerful pain suddenly struck, and the left side of his face ached hotly.
"Da Lei !!!!"
Da Lei opened his eyes suddenly.
The dazzling white light, Da Lei looked around in confusion, only to see the sixth man holding his arm tightly, his face was solemn, and when he saw Da Lei wake up, he asked, "Are you awake?" Look at what you're doing! ”
Da Lei came back to his senses, looked at it fixedly, and suddenly felt half cold.
I saw him touching the edge of the well with one hand, and leaning towards the well, if he hadn't been pulled by the sixth on the other side, I was afraid that he would have fallen!!
Don't... The chair I saw turned out to be this well?!
"This ...... How is this.... What's going on?! Da Lei hurriedly retracted his hand on the edge of the well and asked incoherently.
"In the middle of the night, I saw you come out of the house by yourself, and walk through the village as if you had lost your soul, and then come to the well and stop, and I called you, and you ignored me. But it didn't take long for you to walk in circles around the well, and walk and walk until it was almost dawn. Then suddenly followed the devil, and he was about to jump down the well!! I rushed over and pulled you hard, but you didn't know why your strength was so strong, I couldn't pull it at all. No matter how much you call your name, it doesn't work, and in the end, I don't have a trick, I give you a big ear scraper, and you finally wake up. ”
The sixth helped Da Lei to sit down in the open space and explained.
How... How so?
"Sixth, you mean, I came out of the house alone?"
"That's right."
"And keep circling around the well?"
"Hmm." The sixth nodded: "Leizi, did you see something dirty?" ”
"You're running into a 'yellow mound'."
It was the patriarch who spoke.
He stood behind the two of them with a grim face.
"Lord Tiru." The sixth stood up and said: "It seems that Leizi has been cursed, and he doesn't know about it, and he has no intention of touching the well, don't be angry with him." ”
"What is the Yellow Mouth Mound?"
"Children under the age of 10 die unexpectedly and cannot be reincarnated, so they will find a living person to continue their life." The sixth explained.
Da Lei sighed in his heart.
......
"If you're tired of walking, sit down and rest for a while."
......
Da Lei recalled Senua's words in his head.
"When was the first time you saw 'that thing'?" Lord Tiru asked.
“...... Last night, the child said she couldn't find a home and asked me to send her. Da Lei lied, if he said that he met in the forbidden land, he would definitely be kicked out.
"Do you remember what she looked like?"
Da Lei shook his head.
"Lord Tiru, I think Leizi is scared, I'll send him back first."
"Hmm." The patriarch nodded, looked at Da Lei expressionlessly and said, "I won't come out at night in the future." ”
Ganu didn't know when he was standing here, poking his head out from behind the patriarch and looking at Da Lei with a grin.
"What's wrong?" Da Lei asked.
Ganu shook his head and said, "Ketata." Then he turned and ran away.
