Chapter 22 Ten years of sharpening a knife and wielding a sword
The two of them soon arrived at the ancestral hall, and before they entered the door, I saw a few lines of bright red words on the opposite wall, "Ten years of sharpening a knife and wielding a sword", and behind it were more than a dozen names, all of whom were neighbors of Gufun Village, the first of which was Liu Drunkard.
The sweat on my body has come down, I already know what happened ten years ago, the young mother is now Wang Xiaoni has given up revenge, what is the matter with this line? Could it be that ten years ago, in addition to Wang Xiaoni's mother and daughter, there were also people who died unjustly?
Uncle Wang stared at those lines for a full minute, and when he turned to look at me again, his face was already hideous.
Liu's coffin was open, and the body inside was gone.
"Little evil, don't talk about tonight, now in the whole village, I will believe you." With that, he patted me on the shoulder and told me to go back first.
When she got home, Wang Xiaoni was still asleep, with a faint flush on her face and a very satisfied expression.
I knew that the next day the village would cause another sensation, because the drunkard Liu had also cheated the corpse, and I was afraid that this matter would not be hidden. I consciously got up half an hour early and deliberately wandered around the ancestral hall.
Sure enough, at half past seven, someone went to the ancestral hall, and then there was a high-pitched shout, "Haunted!" Haunted! ”
Soon the neighbors from the neighborhood rushed over, and Uncle Wang also came, and he winked at me when he saw me, and the meaning was self-evident.
I followed into the ancestral hall, only to see the coffin lid tightly closed. The reason why the man shouted "haunted" was only to see the red words on the wall.
I feel a sigh in my heart, what's going on? When we left last night, the coffin was open, could it be that after Uncle Wang and I left last night, someone came again? Uncle Wang was also puzzled.
The writing on the wall was written in blood, but not human blood, and someone found a chicken with no head outside the ancestral hall.
Soon, the person whose name was on the wall screamed in fright, and prayed to Uncle Wang for help. Uncle Wang blushed and asked them to get up first, and then pointed to the coffin: "Come on a few strong ones, lift the coffin lid." ”
Seeing the body of Drunkard Liu in the coffin again, I almost collapsed! - Why did he come back again? And it doesn't seem to be a scam to the corpse.
At that moment, I even suspected that my experience in the grove last night was just a dream.
Uncle Wang circled around the coffin, and he also had a face of "100,000 whys". He walked up to me: "Little evil, what do you see?" ”
I shook my head.
"You watch his feet and trouser legs!" Uncle Wang pointed to Liu's calf.
The soles of Drunkard Liu's shoes were full of mud, as were the uppers and trouser legs, and I immediately understood what Uncle Wang meant, because Drunkard Liu was an old bachelor, and after his death, Uncle Wang helped to wear a shroud, which was a new dress at the time, but now it is full of mud, so there is only one explanation: he went out last night.
At this time, someone noticed the blood words on the wall, and Sun Changfu was behind the drunkard Liu, but he didn't come.
"What about Sun Changfu?" Someone shouted, and I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart, could it be that Sun Changfu also had an accident?
Uncle Wang's face turned dark, and after changing the coffin lid, he went straight to Sun Changfu's house.
Walking at the door of the house, I smelled a strong smell of blood, Sun Changfu was indeed dead, and he died very miserably, covered with knife wounds, holding a kitchen knife full of blood in his right hand, and the five fingers of his left hand were missing.
The walls and floors of the room were covered with blood, and on one side of the wall were written eight bloody characters, "It's not that the time has not come."
The people who followed to see the excitement ran out of the yard with a timid "wow", and I wanted to vomit, but because of my current identity, I forcibly held back.
Uncle Wang checked it and preliminarily judged that Sun Changfu committed suicide, and the words on the wall were also written by himself.
At this moment, the news of the ghost killing once again caused panic among the whole village, especially the person whose name appeared on the wall of the ancestral hall.
As the village head, Uncle Wang's pressure doubled, he asked a few captains to discuss, and selected more than a dozen young and bold people in the village to set up a temporary village protection team, including me.
Drunkard Liu turned into a zombie and went to the woods in the west of the village that night, no one except me and Uncle Wang knew about it.
In the afternoon of the same day, the body of Liu's drunkard and Sun Changfu's body were burned together. In fact, until the fire was ignited, my heart was still hanging, and I was afraid that the dead drunkard Liu would suddenly jump up and pounce on us.
Seeing the raging fire getting stronger and stronger, Uncle Wang and I were relieved.
The third person on the list is Zhang Xiaolai.
This makes me very puzzled, Zhang Xiaolai is only a few years older than me, and ten years ago he was only in his early tens, what can he do?
Uncle Wang smiled coldly: "Zhang Xiaolai may not have done anything, but his father is a hooligan, and he was beaten to death because he provoked his little daughter-in-law outside." ”
The overtone of these words is that maybe it was because his father did something immoral back then that he found Zhang Xiaolai's head, and his father and son should pay off their debts!
Since it got dark, Uncle Wang has led our village guard team outside Zhang Xiaolai's house, this kid is almost stupid, and he has completely lost the arrogance that he wanted to burn Wang Xiaoni to death a few days ago.
The people of the village protection team are all from Guzun Village, the big ones are not a few years old, and the small ones are not a few years old, among the dozen of us, I am the youngest, and the oldest Gao Guofeng is a cow, 24 years old this year.
The village chief brought a box of wine: "Little brothers! The village is in trouble, you young generation should come forward, it is estimated that there will be nothing before ten o'clock, everyone drink some wine and chat first, so as not to panic. He smiled at us.
Among our younger generation, it is rare to see the village chief smile, and the originally tense atmosphere was relaxed all of a sudden.
During the small talk, Gao Guofeng asked me, "Little evil, where is your hometown?" ”
I smiled wryly and shook my head: "Grandma said that I had an illness when I was ten years old, and I can't remember my previous memories. ”
Gao Guofeng slurred: "There is still this disease?" It can't be that the fever burns out the brain! ”
With that, he smiled, and the others laughed as well.
"Who knows! Maybe! I also smiled and took a sip of wine.
"I remember overhearing an old man in the village say that ten years ago he found the dried corpse of a child in an ancient tomb in the west of the village, and later the dried corpse came back to life...... It just so happens that you showed up again ten years ago, and it can't be a coincidence! ”
"Less nonsense! You might as well just say it's a ghost! ”
Immediately, more than a dozen people burst into laughter.
Gao Guofeng shook his head and smiled: "I'll just say it!" How can there be such a bizarre thing in the world, I guess that old guy teased me! ”
Originally, I thought it was just a joke he made up, but when I heard her say the second half of the sentence, I rubbed in my heart, what? Did anyone really tell him that?
Seeing that it was late at night, it was nearly eleven o'clock, and it was still safe, and the strings in the hearts of more than a dozen of us were gradually loosened.
Uncle Wang was worried that Wang Qianmo would be afraid at home, so he ran between the family and Zhang Xiaolai's house, so that he could also check the situation in other parts of the village at the same time.
I can't remember how many times Uncle Wang turned around at that time, and when he saw that we were a little drowsy, he shouted, "Why don't you hear that there is no movement in the house!" Go check it out. ”
I'm the youngest, so naturally I went to this kind of thing.
When I was about to open the door, I was still muttering in my heart, Uncle Wang was too careful, more than a dozen of us were gathered outside, not to mention people, even a dog or cat couldn't get in!
As soon as the door opened, I froze instantly.
