Isn't it peaceful tonight? Could it be that the mountain monkeys will come to the village to do evil?

I remember the godmother said that the female corpse was seriously injured and should not have the strength to do evil in the past few days, but why did my uncle say that?

Seeing my father and I both casting inquiring eyes, my uncle sighed and told me about the legend of the mountain monkey he had heard from my grandfather.

It is said that after the death of a person, the resentment is too heavy, the soul is condensed and not dispersed, if the corpse is touched by the animals in the mountains, and the corpse is combined into one, it is possible to become a mountain monkey, in fact, it is the mountain ghost in myths and legends.

This thing is a half-animal, half-zombie monster, powerful and agile, and will eat human flesh or drink human blood, so once the monkey is out of the mountain, the nearby village will definitely suffer.

This thing is much more powerful than the water monkey, the water monkey is an underwater drowned ghost, only in the water is powerful, once out of the water, it will be as weak as a chicken, any ordinary person can kill each other, and it is very simple for people to avoid water monkeys, just don't swim in the water.

But the mountain monkey is different, this thing has no taboos, it wanders around to commit crimes, if there is any weakness in it, that is, he does not like to move in the sun, he likes to hide in dark caves and sleep during the day, and at night he will go to the nearby villages to do evil.

If he is allowed to do whatever he wants, a mountain monkey can wipe out all the mountain villages within a radius of more than ten miles, and no bones and slag will be left.

A few decades ago, a village in a certain province in the Central Plains was wiped out by the whole village and became a well-known ghost village.

This is our mountain village ancestors passed down from generation to generation, everyone knows the power of the mountain monkeys, and because of this, the old Uncle Lin who went home from the field saw the mountain monkeys, he would directly call a few young people to chase after them, and the whole village would also go out together to encircle and suppress the mountain monkeys.

After listening to my uncle's speech, I couldn't help but shiver: "Then what are we going to do?" ”

"Now it's dark and there is no way, just now we caught up, and was injured by it, the mountain monkey is more powerful at night, want to deal with it, only tomorrow during the day everyone will go up the mountain to find, find the cave where he is hiding, directly set up dry firewood, pour kerosene and burn it to death."

When my uncle said this, he paused, and couldn't help sighing: "If only your godmother-in-law hadn't been sick, with her in charge, the certainty of catching the mountain monkey must be greater, I heard your grandfather say that the mountain monkey was caught and killed by a master before." ”

Sixty or seventy years ago, the mountain monkey from the nearby mountains did not attack people at the beginning, at first it was just stealing chickens and ducks to eat, and then slowly developed to stealing pigs and sheep.

How scarce the material was in that era, it can be said that a chicken is a treasure, not to mention pigs and sheep, many families are counting on the pigs and sheep to be sold at a good price at the end of the year to have a rich year, the people in the village thought that there was a thief at first, so that several families in the village suspected each other, and almost died.

Until one day, someone heard some movement in his pigsty in the early morning, and took advantage of the hazy night to come out and take a look, and saw a monster covered in hair and looking like a monkey was holding his old sow and sucking blood.

At that time, there was no ban on guns in the country, and this family just had a shotgun, and it was a shot at the other party, so close, if it hit a person's body, it would be seriously injured and wait for death on the spot, but the monster was shot in the chest, and his body was bleeding, but he screamed and fled, and his movements were very neat.

Only then did the villagers know that they had encountered a monster, and it was not something that could be defeated by manpower at all, and all the villagers who heard the movement rushed to him, and as soon as he told him about the situation, a well-informed old man said that it might be a legendary mountain monkey.

At that time, it was not yet the era of breaking the four old cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and the Taoist temple on the nearby mountain was not dilapidated, and the Taoist chief who lived in it was a capable person, so the villagers gathered some property and went up the mountain to seek the Taoist to grow down in addition to the mountain monkeys.

The chief also organized the nearby villagers to search the mountain together, the big guy followed the bloodstains, and the monkey of the mountain was found in the last cave, everyone worked together, got a lot of dry firewood, piled it at the entrance of the cave, and poured a bucket of tung oil, and then threw the torch.

At that time, the flames were several zhang high, and no one could stand two zhang away from the heat wave, but even so, the mountain monkey woke up in the flames, and still desperately jumped out of the hole, full of fire and wanted to bite the villagers present, and the villagers could not stop its death-defying counterattack with shotguns.

Fortunately, the old man had real skills, and poured the mountain monkey with a bowl of runic water in advance.

The rune water is a bowl of clear water with a paper talisman burned to ashes, which all the villagers saw with their own eyes, but when poured on the mountain monkey, it was like a hot oil meeting fire, burning fiercely, and even turning the originally red flame directly into blue and blue.

The old people said that it was the color of pure fire, and they had only seen it in the old iron furnaces, and the high temperature could burn all the iron.

The mountain monkey was wrapped in such flames, and its howl became even sharper and piercing, and the Taoist chief was not idle, he took the peachwood sword, and stabbed it into the mountain monkey's body, forcing it back to the still burning pyre.

The blue flame came into contact with the burning pyre, and suddenly burst into flames, and the mountain monkey finally lost its strength and fell on the pyre, only twitching and shaking its body, but it could no longer get up and run around.

As the flames burned, the mountain monkey's body began to emit an incomparably fishy smell, which smoked the onlookers to the point that they couldn't even cover their mouths and noses.

In the blink of an eye, the mountain monkey was burned into a charred shell, and after the firewood was extinguished, the old Taoist used a peach wood sword to split the charred shell, turned into a black ash, and drifted away with the wind.

I listened to it with relish, but my father couldn't help but sigh: "This thing is so powerful!" How can this be handled? ”

Uncle couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, I think I still have to call the police station and ask them to bring a gun." ”

"I'm afraid I won't use the gun."

Listening to the conversation between my father and uncle, I finally came back to my senses, the mountain monkey in the past, has not yet reached the point of attacking people, it can escape with a shotgun, and it is not dead in the flames, and it also needs the Taoist to use Fu Shui and use a peach wood sword to stab it back into the pyre.

Now this green-haired mountain monkey, with half of his head broken, can still run, can directly suck blood from people's mouth, no one knows how big its ability is, but one thing is absolutely certain, that is, ordinary firearms will definitely not kill the other party.

As for whether it was made of the corpse of the woman in green, it doesn't matter anymore, since it is a mountain monkey, it is necessary to use the worst plan to guard against it, this is a matter of human life, but it is not careless.

Someone in the village happened to be working at the town police station, and after calling to explain the situation, the police station said that two policemen would be sent with pistols.

In fact, grassroots rural areas, whether they are people or public officials, believe in some supernatural events, because there are too many such things in rural areas that cannot be explained by science.

Of course, the grassroots police station will not be stupid enough to say that it is going to fight mountain monkeys, and if the information is disclosed to the outside world, it will definitely be found that the beast hurts people, and the police station will send the police to kill the beast and protect the lives of the people. As for someone telling the truth, it must be a rumor.

At this time, it was completely dark, the town was more than ten miles away from here, and it would take at least half an hour for the two policemen to arrive.

Uncle Lin's body was put into a coffin, which was borrowed from the old lady of the neighbor's house—the elderly in the countryside would prepare a coffin for themselves in advance when they were older, and put it at home day and night, calmly waiting for death to come.

Summer is already hot, of course it is uncomfortable for a group of people to crowd in the yard, not to mention that there is a coffin in the yard, whether it is physical or psychological, it is unbearable, and soon some people began to make noise and questioned the uncle and the village party secretary.

"Don't make any noise, the best way for the mountain monkey to recover from the injury is to eat and suck blood, this is what the Taoist chief said back then, the mountain monkey will definitely come to the village tonight to do evil, don't gather everyone together, it's all to be eaten." Do you want your life, or do you want to go home comfortably? Uncle scolded.

"Then you can't put the coffin in, the place is small, can't you put the coffin outside?" There was a voice in the crowd.

"It was bitten by a mountain monkey, and it was clearly put outside for it to eat, and if it recovered, all of us in the village would be buried with it."

I stood behind my uncle and listened to the conversation, and my instinctive feeling seemed that something was wrong.

At this moment, there was a sound of hard objects scraping against wood, and I searched for the sound, only to find that the sound came from a coffin not far away.
