As soon as Yun Ye heard Lao Li say that Han Jinming had an accident, his head buzzed. After concentrating, he asked Lao Li about the reason for the matter.

One day half a month ago, the people of Inner Mongolia Handicap were doing all kinds of work as usual, and when there was no fighting task, everyone went to do their own things, some went to work, some went to rest, in short, they loved to do what they loved. Han Jinming, the person in charge of the Inner Mongolia handicap, usually does not fight, knows some simple medical skills, and is usually only responsible for identifying cultural relics. At this time, I went to the market as usual to practice medicine and fortune telling, and look at feng shui. Han Jinming carried his own fortune-telling bucket, picked up the string of bells and tiger braces and came to the market in the mountains of Inner Mongolia, found a lively place to start practicing stalls, this day the business was not bad, there were aunts and aunts looking for medical advice, there were young men measuring words and divination, Han Jinming stayed in the market for a day, ready to return to the market to rest.

At this moment, someone from behind stopped Han Jinming, Jin Ming looked back and saw a middle-aged man standing behind him, with his hair scattered, wearing a white dress and black shoes. Jin Ming was stunned for a moment, seeing that this person's face was black, his eyes were deep-set, and his body must have been very weak.

Then the man said in a faint hoarse voice: "Please, please help, me and the child, we were attacked by wolves in the mountains." ”

When Jin Ming heard what the man said, Jin Ming asked the man, "Where is the child?" ”

"In my house, please come with me, I will definitely reward you more."

Jin Ming thought about it, anyway, he didn't have a task recently, and he had little oil and water, so it was better to go with him to earn some extra money. So Jin Ming carried the bucket on his back and returned to a grass hut deep in the mountains. Jin Ming followed the man into the thatched hut, which was very dilapidated, with only a wooden bed, three wooden chairs, and a wooden table, and a small incense case in the middle.

Jin Ming sat on the chair and asked the man, "Sir, where is your child?" ”

I saw this man pick up a four or five-year-old child from the window and walk in front of Jin Ming. Jin Ming was startled when he saw the child, only to see that the child's arm had a tooth mark that was deep to the bone, and the most incredible thing was that there was a big bag swollen around the tooth mark, which was like a mouth, and there were a lot of fangs growing out of it, and he kept spitting out green pus. There were also two holes like eyes rotting out on the top of the bag, which were rotten.

Jin Ming felt that something was wrong, and said to the man: "If you don't tell me the truth, I can't save him, this is definitely not a wolf bite." ”

When the man heard this, he sighed: "There are monsters in this mountain, and there are monsters in our house." He also told Jin Ming about the strange things he encountered when he and his children went to the mountains.

The man's name is Zhao, a local farmer, a family of three living in this mountain, with a few acres of fertile land, usually planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. A few days ago, he and his children went to the mountains and were about to sit in the grass to eat, when they suddenly heard a rustling sound in the grass. Lao Zhao was stunned, thinking that some beast was coming, so he was ready to leave. But the child didn't realize the danger, and thought it was a rabbit or other small animal, so he didn't listen to the advice and ran over. Lao Zhao ran over without holding the child, and when he heard a pop, the child suddenly fell to the ground. Lao Zhao thought that the child had tripped and fallen, and he was going to pick up the child in the past, but this hug found that something was wrong, the child's face was covered with a strange gold mask, and there were many hard teeth in the mask's mouth that were moving repeatedly. Lao Zhao had no choice but to carry the fainted child back home. When he returned home, Lao Zhao's daughter-in-law greeted him, and when she saw that he was back with the child on her back, she thought that the child was tired of playing and hurriedly went out to prepare to bring the child over. Who knew that an accident happened at this time, and the child who fainted on Lao Zhao's back suddenly jumped down, and the fangs on the mask of the Zhao family's daughter-in-law were opened. The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family was fortunate enough to dodge quickly, and she was suddenly so frightened that she couldn't move. Lao Zhao didn't see it well, so he hurriedly reached out and pulled the mask on the child's face, but even though he used all his strength, he didn't move the mask at all. Lao Zhao was competing, and suddenly, a tongue similar to an earthworm spit out from the mouth of the mask, and the speed was so fast that it was lightning fast, and it poked into Lao Zhao's arm at once. Lao Zhao was shocked when he saw this strange thing burrowing into his arm, and he felt that his tongue was sucking his blood like a locust. At this moment, the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family picked up a sickle from the corner of the grass hut and slashed at the tongue of the mask. At this moment, the child was about to faint again. Lao Zhao was shocked, and hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law to find old clothes, tore them open, and hurriedly bandaged his arms, and put on some knife wound medicine such as hemostasis. wiped the sweat from his head, sat on the chair, and told his daughter-in-law to roll a cigarette, and the daughter-in-law lit it and handed it to him.

I took two puffs and then I was a little relieved. "At home, do you think there is something unclean between the two of us?"

When the daughter-in-law heard this, she thought for a while: "Why don't I go find Grandma Li from the neighboring village, the old lady is a famous witch in our local area, and the ancestors in the family have been old shamans for generations. ”

Lao Zhao took a puff of cigarette, thought about it, and nodded: "Okay, you go, invite the old lady, I will take care of myself alone, and I will be able to deal with this child if he gets sick again in a while." ”

The daughter-in-law nodded, and went out to invite the old shaman. After about half an hour, the daughter-in-law came back, supporting an old lady in her eighties with white hair. The old lady was holding a cane in her right hand, and the head of the crutch was inlaid with the skull of an unknown animal, and under the skull hung a number of pieces of cloth with various kinds of incantations written on it. In his left hand, he holds a human skull, and wears a suit of clothes and trousers made of animal skins, and his shoes are also sewn from animal skins. He wears a necklace made of weird skulls around his neck. The wrinkles on his face and his face are very kind.

Lao Zhao saw the old shaman come in, hurriedly got up to greet him, and was just about to explain the truth of the matter to the old shaman, when the old shaman waved his hand, nodded, sat down and said, "Bring the child to me." "Old

Zhao and his daughter-in-law hurriedly carried the child to the old shaman, the old shaman closed his eyes and was silent at this time, and saw that the skull of her left hand dripped out of the green liquid, and the old shaman opened his eyes and took the mask tongue that had just been cut off. At this time, the old shaman took out a stone mortar from his arms, put his tongue and green liquid into the stone mortar and repeatedly crushed it, and after grinding for a while, the tongue was crushed, and the old shaman sprinkled the fragments on the mask, only to see the mask with a click, and fell from the child's face to the ground.

The Zhao family and his wife, who were standing on the side, were already frightened by this scene, and hurriedly knelt in front of the old shaman and kowtowed: "Thank you old fairy, thank you old fairy." ”

I saw that the old shaman shook his head and sighed: "It's okay if you burn this golden mask and throw it into the thatched house, I can only help you get to this point, life and death are fateful, so you can do it yourself." With that, the old shaman walked out without looking back and disappeared into the mountains.

Seeing that the old shaman had gone away, the Zhao family and his wife hurriedly put the unconscious child on the bed, and the two of them were shocked. At this time, Lao Zhao suddenly remembered the mask that had fallen to the ground, and hurriedly picked up the shovel used for working in the field, ready to shovel out the mask and throw it into the mountains to burn.

The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family saw it and hurriedly stopped: "You are confused, the monster in this mask has been destroyed by the old shaman, this is golden, let's take it and sell it in the city for a lot of money." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lao Zhao nodded, thinking about what his daughter-in-law said was that he couldn't earn this piece of eight cents from farming, which was also a blessing in disguise, Lao Zhao picked up the mask, and put the mask on the table without any reaction.

The two discussed and planned to get up early the next day to sell the masks. The two went to sleep on the kang, and Lao Zhao lay down and fell asleep, he was too tired this day.

When I fell asleep, I could hear footsteps in the room, accompanied by strange and resentful laughter. Lao Zhao woke up suddenly, and found that his daughter-in-law was gone, Lao Zhao walked out of the house and came to the hall with courage, this scene scared him silly, and saw his daughter-in-law wearing a golden mask on the table, holding a sickle used during the day, laughing and walking around the house, there was a big disembowelment on the stomach, and blood flowed all over the ground. Lao Zhao fainted with fright at that time.

When he woke up the next morning, he heard a knock on the door, staggered to the door, and opened the door to see that it was the police.

The policeman showed his police work card: "Hello, we are from the local police station, this morning we found a body under the cliff in the mountain, identified by the people of this village, it is your wife, please come with us and cooperate with our work." ”

Lao Zhao didn't dare to let the police into his house, because the ground was full of bloodstains, so he agreed in a trance, "Ah, yes, yes." ”

The police saw that he was in a trance, and felt that he was deliberately hiding something, so he pushed Lao Zhao away and walked into the house to take a look. The room was normal, Lao Zhao's heart trembled, and he thought, could it be that what I saw was me dreaming? The police saw that there was nothing unusual in the house, so they took Lao Zhao to the police station.

When he arrived at the morgue of the police station, the forensic doctor pulled out a corpse, and Lao Zhao saw that it was his daughter-in-law. I saw the corpse of Lao Zhao's daughter-in-law, there was no wound on her body, but her mouth was very wide open, and her hands pinched her neck, as if she had been seriously frightened, and her death was very hideous.

The medical examiner said: "There were no fatal injuries such as external injuries on the deceased. The most surprising thing for us was that the deceased had died before he hit the ground, and the cause of death was cardiac arrest due to excessive shock. Subsequently, Lao Zhao was taken out of the morgue and walked into the investigation room with the police.

As soon as Lao Zhao entered the investigation room, he was asked whether some of the deceased had mental illness or other investigations, but Lao Zhao did not say anything, and finally the public security organs decided that he committed suicide.

Back at home, the child hadn't woken up yet, Lao Zhao lit a cigarette and sat in the living room pondering what happened before, is everything an illusion? Just thinking about it, Lao Zhao suddenly looked at the table and was so frightened that he almost fainted. The golden mask was sitting on its bedtime spot yesterday, and it was stained with a little blood. Lao Zhao hurriedly took out a shovel from behind the door, put the mask on the ground, slapped the mask with the shovel several shovels, and shoveled the mask to the mountain stream.

Lao Zhao took the shovel home, and when he sat in the living room, he felt that there was an inexplicable cold blowing and he was shivering. Lao Zhao rolled a cigarette by himself, lit it and took two puffs, and his heart calmed down a little. Looking at the unconscious child on the bed, I couldn't bear a few tears, sighed and looked at my watch, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. After smoking, I went back to my bedroom and got ready for bed. I felt like I was asleep in a daze,

When he fell asleep, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder, snap, snap. Lao Zhao woke up suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, his blood was cold. There was a person standing in front of the meeting, with a golden mask on his face covered in blood, a sickle in the other hand, and a big hole in his stomach kept leaving blood, sneering at Lao Zhao! Lao Zhao "hiccuped" and fainted.

The next day, Lao Zhao woke up, didn't dare to go to the ground, and settled for a while before putting on his shoes and walking out of the house. Out of the house, Lao Zhao gasped again, everything was normal in the house. Lao Zhao walked to the child's side, looked at the child, still did not wake up, looked at the child's arm again, the cold sweat came down, and saw that the child's arm grew a green pus-filled bag as big as a steamed bun, the pus-bag cracked a gap, and a lot of fangs grew out of the crack and kept spitting out green pus. Lao Zhao put the child on the bed, searched left and right, and sat on the ground with a sigh, only to see a gold mask on the table.
