Chapter 2: Disappearance

My cheap daughter-in-law's words were so terrifying that I was still eighteen years old at the time and was stunned, and the great people said that man will win the day, and I don't understand why my grandfather and I are not in our own hands.

The cheap daughter-in-law only replied with two sentences: "Yin life is born in yin, for heavenly jealousy, yang life is born in yin, and punishment is given for heaven." ”

I was stunned, what Yang Ming Yin Sheng said must be me, then Yin Ming Yin Sheng may be talking about grandpa, the time and method of people's birth are not determined by themselves, why should they be jealous and punished by God?

How can this day decide our fate on its own?

I held back my anger and continued to ask, but she, like my grandfather, began to keep silent.

What's wrong with the fuck, I won't say anything about it halfway through. Whether it's grandpa or this cheap daughter-in-law, they don't want to tell me anything really important, I sulked secretly, but on the surface I still said good things with a shy smile, hoping that she could reveal some information.

As a result, my good daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law called all night, and this girl didn't open her mouth.

I pulled the quilt over my head in annoyance, and no matter what she said to me, I ignored her.

By daybreak, my ghost daughter-in-law was so angry that she pinched me the right side of my waist, and by the time I grinned and turned back, she was gone.

Although the first meeting with my daughter-in-law was unhappy, I also successfully passed my eighteenth birthday, and my grandfather was very happy. Although my father's expression was a little complicated, he was naturally much more relieved to see that I was still alive and well.

The idol of the ghost daughter-in-law was inexplicably shattered the day after the cave house, and my daughter-in-law disappeared without a trace.

I followed my father back to the county town, and gradually forgot about this extraordinary episode, and life was still going on as usual.

Even my ghost daughter-in-law, who had already passed the door, never showed up.

The special coming-of-age ceremony of the eighteen-year-old, as if it was just a nightmare. I have woken up many times from nightmares about my marriage to all sorts of ugly ghosts, and sometimes I rejoice that my ghost daughter-in-law is as beautiful as a flower.

I gradually felt that I should work normally like everyone else, marry a normal wife, and live my life in peace. But the trajectory of my life that I imagined countless times changed completely the day I received my father's letter.

I was in my twenties at the time, and I had only joined the job for half a year, and everything was so boring that I almost went numb inside. My father's letter was like a bomb dropped on my ancient life, stirring up a huge wave.

Grandpa is missing!

As soon as I opened the letter, it was a bombshell news, and I was startled and hurriedly continued to look down.

My grandfather left his hometown alone a week ago, and told my father that if he didn't come back within three days, he would let me go back to my hometown in Dongwangzhuang, go to his old house and pick up the wooden box he had put under the bed, and never return to Dongwangzhuang again.

Seeing that almost a week had passed, my father had also called the police, but there was still no news, and my father was so anxious that he remembered to tell me about the incident and his grandfather's explanation.

I was speechless for a while after reading the letter, my father was a nerd, and he was nervous when he encountered something, and now it has been almost five days since my grandfather's advice arrived.

But after all, it was my grandfather's order, and even if it was overdue, I had to finish what he ordered.

Anyway, work is boring to death, and those colleagues around me are desperately stabbing each other behind their backs, I have long been tired of seeing their faces, so I simply took this opportunity to resign, ready to go all out to investigate the reason for my grandfather's disappearance.

My hometown is in Dongwangzhuang, in a ravine where rabbits don't, and there are only twenty or thirty households in the village, and transportation and communication are very closed.

My father taught in a large village thirty miles away from Dongwangzhuang, and occasionally went back to his hometown to visit.

I made up my mind, first wrote back to my father, comforted him not to worry, and then set off for my hometown.

Dongwangzhuang is a place where you can't find a stop at the long-distance bus station. I had to take a bus to get off at Longwang Village, the nearest village in Lidong Wangzhuang, and then walk three miles back to my hometown.

It was the end of October, and by the time I got off the beat-up country bus, it was already a little dark.

I raised my hand and looked at my watch, it was already more than five o'clock, and it would only take more than 20 minutes to walk for me to walk three miles.

I bent down and tightened my shoelaces, and was about to open the road, when I heard someone calling out to me from behind.

"Housheng, where are you going?"

I looked back and saw an old man standing behind me with a stick in his hand.

"I'm going to visit relatives in Dongwangzhuang." I wondered as I answered, the rural people in this area are generally more recognizable, and there are people from other villages walking in the village, and almost no one will greet them, but this uncle is inexplicably enthusiastic.

"Oh, there's still three miles to go... It's getting dark, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, so why don't you stay here for one night, get up early tomorrow morning and leave early. ”

The old man pointed to a signboard next to him, on which the word "hostel" was vaguely written.

It turned out to be a businessman.

I scratched my head and politely rejected my uncle's proposal.

Just kidding, grandpa's disappearance is too strange, if I can get home early, I hope to find grandpa early, how can I have time to spend here with you.

When the old man saw that I insisted on leaving, he didn't say anything, and silently watched me embark on the journey back to the village.

Dongwangzhuang is located in the easternmost part of this area, and further east, it is a boundless deep mountain and old forest. When I was a child, I grew up in my hometown, and there were only five or six babies who died in the mountains because of playfulness.

The more remote the place, the more evil it is, because of the lack of yang energy, so God can't take care of you, only Lord Yama can think of you.

When I was a child, the old people often scared us like this, but we were used to it, and we didn't take it seriously at all, as long as my grandfather didn't talk about me, I naturally wouldn't care.

The mountain road at night is indeed a little difficult to walk, it gets dark very quickly, and it is completely dark after walking less than a mile.

Nearby are deep mountains and old forests, I can't say that there will be something after dark will go down the mountain for a walk, I casually broke off a fairly handy branch from the sour jujube tree on the side of the road, and stayed by my side to defend myself.

The mountain wind is relatively strong, and the hearts of the people who blow are straight, and the woods and shrubs on the side of the road are also rustled by the blowing, which really has a gloomy feeling.

People are always afraid of the unknown, such as darkness, such as deep water, and I listened to the cries of wild birds and looked at the boundless darkness around me, and my heart really beat a drum.

Just as I was about to speed up my pace, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of me, and I was so frightened that I stood on my feet.

"Who?"

I mustered up the courage to ask tentatively.

The shadow ignored me completely, I took a step forward, he took a step back, I stood still, he stood still.

This can't fucking be anyone, who is idle in the middle of the night and ready to entertain me.

I started a nameless fire, rolled up my sleeves, held the sour jujube stick, and prepared to go over to theorize with him. As a result, as soon as he took a step, he was suddenly pinched on the right side of his waist.

I inhaled in pain, and when I looked back, it was empty.

There are accomplices who come out in the middle of the night to be scary?

My eggs hurt terribly, and when I turned my head again, the man in front of me was gone.

The faint moonlight shone down, and I hurriedly ran to the place where the person was standing just now, only to find that there were no footprints. I tried to step on the ground twice, but my footprints were crystal clear.

The wild birds chirped a few more times, and it was so eerie that I felt the hairs on my body stand on end.

This location is less than a mile away from Dongwang, and I stood there and struggled. Although what I experienced just now was a bit terrifying, it was not good for me to turn around and return to Longwang Village.

Stubbornly, I continued to walk forward with a sour jujube stick.

When the moon came out, the road became much easier, and there were no strange things like the one just now. In the distance, I have already seen the sign of Dongwangzhuang.

I stood there and took a deep breath, then jumped a few times and slapped my chest before I mustered up the courage to keep going.

Because not far from the village road is the cemetery where I was born!

As for why the cemetery is located near the village road, this question has not been mentioned by more than one person, and the old people in the village are always extremely stubborn in this aspect of feng shui, and grandpa has never been involved in this aspect of things.

With this cemetery blocked at the entrance of the village, Dongwangzhuang is naturally easy to isolate from the outside world, and usually even a messenger refuses to come here.

I strode forward with my head held high, my eyes fixed on the air in front of me, completely unsquinting, and as I was about to walk past the cemetery, I heard someone snickering behind me.

This is already fast entering the village, who the hell is it that you always want to entertain me, although I, Yin Mo, have not been in the village in the past few years, but you have gained too much courage.

Don't even think about it, it must be those childhood playmates again, these goods often secretly plotted against me together when I was a child, and I was hammered a lot when I was a child. This is the day when I will return to the village, and he came to scare me.

I jerked my head back, but instead of seeing the familiar faces, I saw a man and a woman hiding behind a haystack and looking at me secretly, and the laughter came from the two of them.

Whose child is this?

I was stunned, and the two children turned and ran, and I was just about to chase after them to inquire about the situation, when the haystack where they had just been hiding collapsed.

"Heaven has a fate, the earth has a fate, a natural fate is irreversible, the immortals intercede, the Buddha intercedes, and the immortals and Buddhas bury their bones in the stinky mud."

Amid the strange singing of the two dolls, I was horrified to find that all the corpses rolling out of the haystack were corpses, old people, young people, and children.

These corpses seem to have been hidden here for a long time, many of them have decomposed and are not human, and when they roll out, the internal organs of the eyeballs fall to the ground, and the maggots thrown off the corpses are busy crawling on the corpses.

The stench was pervasive, and I looked at the hellish scene in front of me, my scalp tingled, and my stomach was sour.

A gust of wind blew, and my waist was pinched again, and I subconsciously turned my head back again, stunned to find that the scene in front of me had disappeared again.

In front of me, the graves were in disrepair, haystacks, corpses, children, all gone.

I crouched down and hugged my head, in great pain.

What the fuck is going on!

"Brother Mo, what are you doing squatting in the cemetery if you don't go into the village?"

A crisp and pleasant female voice came.

As soon as I turned around, I saw the face of the person who came, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.
