Chapter 9: The Corpse in the Tree
Director Zheng was restless all day, and he was distracted several times and even forgot to shout "cut". The actors are also not in the state, either they forgot their lines, or they are in the wrong position.
The whole crew was terrified.
At lunchtime, Lao Zhang quietly told me that the production director had called. The results of the autopsy determined that none of the three people had drowned, but had died of heart failure and had fallen into the water after death.
The police concluded that he fell into the water after sudden cardiac death, ruling out the possibility of homicide.
I looked at Lao Zhang, and we tacitly understood -
The police can't help it, and this kind of supernatural case has to give a reasonable explanation. But three people died suddenly at the same time and then fell into the water, how to sound a bit fantastic!
After dark, Lao Zhang and I met on the dirt road. I saw that he was also carrying a large bag. Seeing that there was no one in the four corners, the two of us hurried to the end of the village.
On the way, I said, "Director Zhang, you really know a lot about these things!" ”
"No way, I've been doing this for a long time, so I have to learn some."
After a pause, Lao Zhang sighed and said, "Originally, I didn't want to do much, but we still have to stay here for a few days, what if everyone is always sucked by that thing!" I have to keep everyone safe! ”
I nodded.
It didn't take much effort, but I saw the big mulberry tree in the distance. There were no lights in the hut next to it at this time.
I walked to the door of the hut first, looked at the locked door, and made sure that no one was in the house.
Walking around the tree, we looked up and down the tree in the moonlight.
This tree is leafy, tall and stout, and it really deserves the word "big". In the surrounding low bushes, it does stand out.
At this time, under the illumination of the moonlight, the leaves glow with a faint green light.
I leaned closer to the tree and sniffed, and sure enough, there was a faint smell of blood.
There was a deathly silence around me, and at this moment, I suddenly heard a baby's cry. It looks especially strange in such a quiet night.
I was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lao Zhang next to me, who was also confused.
We followed the sound and found a baby lying on the ground in the shadows of the hut next to us.
This scared the two of us, it was dark and cold on this big night, how could a child be here?
At this point the crying stopped.
I boldly walked over and shone my flashlight. I was surprised to find that the baby still had an umbilical cord attached to it.
"No, this umbilical cord...... Something is wrong! I said to myself.
If you haven't eaten pork, have you ever seen a pig go? Even though I'm a man who has never been married, I know that a baby's umbilical cord is attached to the navel.
But at this moment, the umbilical cord of this little baby extends into the mouth!
"Lao Zhang, look at it!" In a hurry, the word "Lao Zhang" blurted out.
Lao Zhang didn't care about my big or small, stepped over, and looked in the direction of my finger.
"Ahh Look at his mouth! ”
Only then did I notice that the baby's mouth was sucking, and the expression on his face was calm and sweet. Look around his little mouth again, a little bit of blood is pouring out.
He's sucking the blood from the roots of the tree!
I couldn't help but take a step back, this thing is so crazy.
In the next second, the little baby seemed to sense our arrival and stopped talking about it. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, turned his head, and two red lights came out of his two small eyes.
At this time, the expression on his face became hideous, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he slowly grinned, revealing a mouth full of small white teeth, and there were still red marks between the teeth.
"Damn, what the hell is this?" I was so scared. A one- or two-month-old baby has a mouth full of teeth, which is about to become sperm!
As I spoke, I saw the baby on the ground suddenly rise into the air, fly near the big mulberry tree, and then disappear from my sight at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Just disappeared out of thin air!
My whole person was not good, and I looked at Lao Zhang as if asking for help.
Lao Zhang was also shocked, and he took out two yellow rune papers with dense and strange words written on them from his bag.
Walking up to the tree, he circled the tree twice. The weird little baby just now obviously flew here and disappeared, but at this time, there was no trace of it on and under the trees.
Lao Zhang spat and pasted the talisman paper on the tree.
In an instant, I saw the branches and leaves of the big mulberry tree shake for no reason.
"Peace, look!" Lao Zhang shouted.
I hurried closer and followed Lao Zhang's fingers. It turned out that there was a crack in the thick trunk of the tree, which was not very obvious, but it could still be seen on closer inspection.
At this moment, Lao Zhang took a flashlight to shine into the crack, and I saw that there seemed to be something with white flowers inside.
I almost pressed my face to the trunk of the tree, and now I could see what was inside the crack, and it was a small face! The next second, a blood-red eye met me.
"it!" I jumped back two steps with a scream.
"It's the baby, it's inside, and it moves!" I said in a hurry.
Lao Zhang took out two shovels from his bag, threw one to me, and then aimed at the crack and pried it down. I followed suit.
Three times and two times, as the bark was torn open, a hole in the tree appeared in front of us.
And in the hollow of the tree, the baby was sitting upright!
If it weren't for the fact that he was in such a strange environment, and he had just taken a photo, it would be really difficult for outsiders to see anything unusual about this baby.
The little baby in front of him had white and tender skin, and his eyes were gently closed, as if he was asleep.
Damn, you were staring at me just now, and now you're pretending to be innocent and asleep.
"Director Zhang, what the hell is this?"
Looking at this little baby, I have a chill down my spine.
Lao Zhang lowered his voice and said, "I don't know, but it's definitely not good." I've heard that all the ghosts that children have cultivated are very powerful. Because he died before he had tasted the happiness of the world, the resentment was not ordinarily heavy. And the smaller the better. ”
As he spoke, the little ghost suddenly opened his eyes, which were a pair of blood-red eyes.
He grinned, bared his teeth, and let out a "giggle" laugh at the same time, giving me goosebumps when I heard it.
In the next second, I saw that the baby's body slowly dried up, and the skin and flesh gradually turned black and brown, clinging to the bones, and in the blink of an eye, the white fat doll turned into a small dried corpse.
At the same time, I saw a white light emerge from the hollow of the tree and disappear into the night.
"Zhang, Director Zhang...... "The scene in front of me has scared me so much that I don't know what to say."
It could be seen that Lao Zhang was also frightened, and the cold sweat on his head flowed onto his cheeks.
He wiped the sweat from his face and said, "It seems that the little devil is haunting this tree." He ran away, and we cut out the roots of the tree and cut down the taproot. This is called cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and it can be regarded as eliminating the harm to the people in the village! ”
I nodded.
At this moment, when I looked up and saw Lao Zhang, I was stunned.
