Chapter 10: Devil Wrestling
The summer in the mountain village is quiet and peaceful, with clear water and green mountains, birds and flowers.
All this seems to have nothing to do with Liu Wuye, the fifth master is walking on the mountain road in the countryside with a pick, and he has been out for seven or eight days. The fifth master held his cigarette pouch in his mouth, hummed a little tune, and went all the way south.
The sun sets soon, and although the days are long and the nights are short in summer, the sun sets relatively early because of the large mountains on all sides. In addition, the distance between villages is quite long, sparsely populated, and it is not possible to meet a person when walking far away. Especially on such a mountain road, there is silence, and occasionally a few unknown bird calls can be heard.
The fifth master wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked forward, and then climbed over a mountain beam in front of him, and he could get home. When I think of the kang and shochu at home, I don't feel comfortable.
As he spoke, he arrived at the top of this mountain beam, and the sky was already dark at this time, and for the fifth master, he often walked at night, although it seemed deserted, but he didn't feel afraid. The temperature began to drop as the night came, and I was sweating on the road, and I was blown by the wind on the top of the beam, so I didn't feel like I had a few cold wars.
The fifth master shook his spirit and began to go down the beam, the moon at this time has come out, according to the road of the lower beam of white flowers, and the road on both sides is the mountain of the village, because it is summer at this time, the crops are very lush, sorghum land, bean field under the moonlight, uneven. The fifth master was not in the mood to enjoy these night scenes, he only thought about getting home quickly, and he quickened his pace along the road of white flowers.
As I walked, I suddenly noticed a person not far in front of me, standing straight on the side of the road. Liu Wuye thought that he was dazzled, and rubbed his eyes to see that there was indeed a person standing there, and his back was to the mountain road. Although it appeared a little suddenly, the fifth master didn't think much about it, thinking that he was also a person who was in a hurry at night, so he picked up the pick and passed by that person's back.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the fifth master looked up again, and saw that there was still a person standing on the side of the road in front of him, still facing the crops. And this person and the person I just met, judging from the back, seem to be the same person. He just stood motionless, like a stake.
At this time, the fifth master's heart began to hairy, this thing that doesn't know if it is a human or a ghost, why does it always have to be a little faster than him. At this time, I already knew in my heart that this was an unclean thing, and I must have kept up with myself. At this time, it was almost the middle of the night, and it was indeed chilling to be alone on this mountain road where there was no village or store in front of the village.
After all, Liu Wuye is a person who runs outside all the year round, and he has seen a lot of things, although he was stunned in his heart, he still took a deep breath, lowered his head and walked quickly behind that person, thinking that he would quickly get rid of this thing. I didn't dare to look back, I didn't know if the thing had followed, but I felt a chill behind me.
Seeing that we are almost at the bottom of the beam, there is another way into the village. The fifth master breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he didn't dare to delay, almost rushing forward as if jogging.
At this moment, the thing appeared in front of it again, and in front of it was a field of small beans, the seedlings of which were more than half a meter high, and they were very vigorous, covering the ground tightly. The thing was standing on the edge of the bean field, still facing the bean field, with its back to the mountain road.
Liu Wuye's concentration at this time has reached the limit, knowing that since this thing has appeared repeatedly, it must not be so simple, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to hide, it is still the old way, thinking that if I don't provoke it, it should not take the initiative to attack, so he said that he passed by it for the third time.
At this time, I only felt that the thing suddenly turned its head, and from behind the fifth master, with a pair of dry hands and claws, it was put on the fifth master's shoulders, and the force was so great that it almost knocked the fifth master down, and the fifth master shouted out. didn't wait for the fifth master to look back at the face of the thing, and then the thing slammed it down into the bean field on the side of the road.
Take advantage of your youth and strong physique. Although the fifth master fell, his hand tightly grasped the claws of the thing. I only felt that these hands did not have any temperature, just like two pairs of pliers, clasping the shoulders of the fifth master.
The fifth master lay on his back in the bean field, holding the pair of dry branch-like hands with both hands, the thing was half-squatting in the direction of the top of the fifth master's head, and he never let go, and the fifth master felt that his shoulder was caught like a burning pain.
After a five-minute stalemate, the fifth master gasped for breath, and the thing was like a dried corpse, and he couldn't hear the sound of its breathing. As soon as the fifth master thought that this was not a solution, he saved up enough strength and turned over with a harrier. He got up and threw the thing to the ground in one fell swoop.
The momentum of that thing was extremely strong, and before the fifth master could overwhelm him, he wrapped his arms around the fifth master's waist and rolled together with the fifth master.
At this time, the fifth master couldn't care so much, regardless of whether it was a human or a ghost, he hugged that thing and didn't let go, because he knew that as long as he relaxed, he had to let this thing strangle to death. In this way, the two of them rolled away in the bean field, and neither of them had the upper hand for a while.
The two of them were almost face to face, and the fifth master couldn't see that person's face clearly, only feeling that that person's face was just as cold. And the chill exudes from all over the body. That thing always wanted to choke the fifth master's neck, but the fifth master didn't give it a chance.
I don't know how long it took, but the fifth master felt that his shoulders were sore little by little, and his strength was not so strong. Gradually, I was a little exhausted. And that thing seems to be inexhaustible. threw the fifth master away several times and pounced again, as if he had to kill the fifth master.
The fifth master also felt that he couldn't get over this hurdle today, and it was impossible for someone to be rescued by passers-by in the middle of the night. But he still didn't give up, and he was always entangled with it.
That thing seems to be in a hurry, too. Taking advantage of the fifth master's timidity, he hugged the fifth master's waist and shook it hard, and the fifth master fell to the ground, and as soon as he got together, the hand of that thing grabbed the fifth master's neck from behind, and the fifth master thought it was broken! Hurry up and hold those hands, but the strength of those hands is too great, and the fifth master's neck is pinched alive, only to feel that his eyes are black, and it is becoming more and more difficult to breathe.
At this moment, the rooster in the village crowed, it turned out that it was already the time for the rooster to crow, indicating that the sky was about to dawn, and the fifth master felt that his hands suddenly let go, and when the fifth master looked back, the thing suddenly disappeared.
At this time, the fifth master's eyes were dark, and he fell in the bean field.
The fifth master was woken up by someone else, and when he opened his eyes, he saw He Laosi in the village, shaking himself vigorously.
"Liu Dai, Liu Dai, what's wrong with you?" He Laosi watched Liu Wuye wake up and asked.
The fifth master reluctantly sat up, and saw that he was sitting on the side of the mountain road, next to the bean field, and saw that this large bean field seemed to be crushed by a car, and not a single bean seedling grew.
It turned out that He Laosi just got up early today and was going out of the village to catch up with the big set, and when he walked along this mountain road to this bean field, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. The entire field of bean seedlings was overwhelmed, and a man lay in the middle of the bean field. When I got closer, it was Liu Wuye. Hurriedly carried the fifth master to the side of the road, and shouted for a long time to wake up the fifth master.
When the fifth master came back, he was seriously ill, and he could walk around the ground for more than half a month. When I told me about it, I still had lingering palpitations. I always keep saying: "People should have a good heart and do more good deeds, and they should not die!" ”
It's just that the thing that wrestled with the fifth master, I still don't know what it is. The fifth master couldn't explain it clearly, he just said that it was an evil ghost, he just wanted to harm people, and he was glad that he was young at the time and had a good physique, if he met a weak person, it would definitely be over.
There are too many similar unexplainable things in the mountain village, and in the next story, the fifth master will tell one, an extremely bizarre thing he once encountered.
