Chapter 1 Ten people in the ditch, leading to trouble
When I was a child, there was a famous place in my hometown called "Shirengou", and outsiders may not know this place, but people near my hometown are talking about it.
Ten people ditch, as early as before the liberation is a mass grave pit, when the little devils have been thrown here thousands of corpses, filled the soil, mated into a ditch, on the eve of liberation, and shot ten ferocious bandit leaders, so it is named "ten people ditch".
Shirengou is not far from the village where I live, there are only more than two miles of land, the old people in the village often talk about Shirengou in their spare time, saying that the feng shui is not right, ten scourges, and Shirengou homonym "dead man's ditch", it is very unlucky, so ah, no matter what, don't go there, especially at night, even if you want to take a long detour, you can't pass through there.
The adults in the family even warned us not to go there to play, saying that there were ghosts there, who would eat children, and caught boys as steamed buns and girls as gruel, so we children were curious and afraid of Shirengou.
The next thing I'm going to say is related to Shirengou, and it is related to me, and it can even be said to be related to life and death! Because this incident changed the fate of my life!
I was only six years old when this happened.
My surname is Wu, my name is used, yes, it is the Zhiduoxing Wu of Liang Shanbo's one hundred and eight heroes. This is the name given to me by my grandfather, who loves to watch the Water Margin, and this name has caused me a catastrophe, which can almost be regarded as a murder.
In the autumn of the year when he was six years old, there was a major incident in the ditch that shocked the ten miles and eight towns, a seven-year-old child because of greed, stole the money of the adults in the family to buy snacks to eat, and was beaten by his father when he came back, so he was resentful, and ran away from home in the middle of the night...... It wasn't until the next day that the child was found in Shirengou, but it was already a corpse, burned to death, almost burned to a pile of black wood, and a gasoline bottle was thrown next to it......
The strange thing is that the child's whole body is almost burned, only the head is not burned, according to the people who saw it, his face is fine except for some black ash, otherwise he would not be able to recognize him, but the eyes are round, big and red, full of resentment, and look almost scared to death!
No one knows how he went to Shirengou, where he got the gasoline bottles, and whether he died of **** or was burned. It's just that after his parents found out, they didn't pick up his corpse, they all sat on the ground at home and stayed stupid for a day, and at night, a fire broke out, and the three tiled houses instantly burned to the ground, and the couple **** died......
This matter spread very widely in our place, making people panic, and even the customs and customs have changed, how vicious and how to start beating his son in the past, breaking shoes and smoking big mouths, beating ass and eggs with wooden sticks, kicking a dog to eat shit, and slapping a slap full of stars, it doesn't look like his own life at all, and he can't wait to kill to relieve his hatred. But after this incident, the attitude of adults towards children turned 180 degrees, and they didn't beat children much, for fear that their children would also run away from home and seek death and life, which would be a tragedy.
In this way, it has fueled the arrogance of our children who are naughty and mischievous, skipping school, fighting, going up trees and water, climbing houses and revealing tiles, stealing chickens and dogs and picking up girls' pants......
On this day, a group of our little boys got together again, and we felt that the previous tricks were not interesting, and we wanted to think of new and exciting things, so we nested together to come up with bad ideas. Everyone scrambled to say that one vetoed the other, and after discussing for a long time, they didn't come up with a good idea.
Someone looked at me and said, "Wu Yong, aren't you Zhiduoxing?" What do you say? Gotta think of something we haven't done before, and it's exciting! ”
I felt that if I couldn't come up with a unique idea, then I would be really sorry for my name, and after some searching, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I said, "Go to the Ten People Ditch!" I heard that the body of the kid who burned to death a few days ago is still there, and which of you dares to go and see it? ”
When these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and when they looked at each other, no one agreed.
When my pride and vanity were hit a little bit, I sarcastically said, "I knew you wouldn't dare." ”
"Whoever doesn't dare is a bad seed!"
One word stirred up a thousand waves, and my words annoyed everyone, and no one was willing to admit that he was a bad seed who did not dare to go, so we secretly went to Shirengou that evening.
The ten-person ditch is a soil ditch that is not deep or shallow, very long, overgrown with wild grass, when we arrived, the sky was already very dark, there was no one around, it was very quiet and quiet, quiet and terrible.
At this time, it was the time when the autumn tiger was powerful, the weather was very hot, and we were sweating when we ran around, but when we arrived at Shirengou, we couldn't feel the heat at all.
The air was stuffy, but it was eerie, and the cool air came out of the ground, seeping into the flesh, and it gave me goosebumps.
We wandered through the grass to look for the body of the child who had been burned, but we could not find anything, nor did we see anything that looked like it had been burned by fire.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the ditch is getting colder and colder, and the surroundings are becoming more and more dead and silent.
I'm the one who came up with the idea, of course I can't go, the second baby is a few years older than me, and he has always been the head of a child, and he is embarrassed to go, so the two of us spend there until we find the body.
The moon climbed up, rose very high, and looked bright, but the ditch was still pitch black, as if the moonlight could not reach it.
"Woo ......"
Suddenly, a cry that made my scalp tingle suddenly came, and I trembled with fright, and hurriedly looked around, but there was no one, but the cry still came intermittently, and a strange wind blew suddenly, and the grass on all sides rattled, as if someone was drilling in the grass.
I hurriedly dragged the second baby, and the second baby was also frightened, and said tremblingly: "It seems that someone is crying." ”
I swallowed and said, "I heard it too, but I didn't see anyone." ”
The second baby said, "What should I do? Still looking for it? ”
I said, "If you don't forget it, they're all gone, and we're just the two of us, and even if we find it, it's boring." ”
The second baby nodded again and again and said, "I think so too, and besides, I can't see clearly when it's dark, so it's better to come back tomorrow." ”
Once you get scared, you don't want to do it anymore no matter what.
My second baby and I were panicked like lost dogs, scrambling to climb out of the ditch, at this time the inferior nature of people was reflected, once they began to escape, then it depends on who runs fast. The second baby is a few years older than me, the size is also big, the action is fast, he climbed up the ditch first, I saw it in the back, more and more anxious, while shouting him, while using both hands and feet, the second baby is not righteous, climb the ditch and don't care about me, run like a rabbit.
I was so anxious that I almost cried, and finally climbed to the bank of the ditch, and was about to go out, but my ankles suddenly tightened, and my body fell rapidly, I screamed, and couldn't help but turn my head to look, this time, the moonlight seemed to shine into the ditch, and everything could be seen clearly. And I was amazed to find a pair of blood-red eyes staring straight at me, and a charred hand grabbing my ankle!
That's a man, a man who was burned!
His body and limbs were charred as charcoal, but his head was good, especially his eyes, which were round and big, full of resentment!
"Ahh Two babies! Help me! ”
I screamed again, the crotch of my pants was already wet, I hysterically called the second baby, but there was no response, the second baby had run away, maybe he couldn't hear my screams at all, even if he did, he wouldn't come back to save me.
I struggled to crawl into the distance, but I didn't know if I couldn't use my strength or if I was caught too tightly by that hand, and I struggled to get almost in place.
He slowly approached me, his eyes slowly pressed into my face, and the corners of his mouth gradually squeezed out a hideous smile.
"Come with me ......"
I heard a low sigh, and for a moment my heart went blank, my mind was groggy, and my body seemed to be blown up by the wind, and I wanted to fly away......
