Chapter Twenty-Three: A Strange Death
I saw that Zhang Xiaolai was still in the house, but he was dead.
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong! ”
Uncle Wang and the others quickly ran over, and when they saw the scene in the house, they all gasped.
Zhang Xiaolai was lying upright on the bed, naked, a pool of blood on his crotch, his thing was gone, in addition, what was shocking was the panicked expression on his face.
Seeing this scene, Uncle Wang's face pulled down and glanced at us.
Gao Guofeng hurriedly explained: "We haven't left for a minute!" Even if you go to urinate, it's a turn, and it's absolutely impossible for anyone to come in. ”
Uncle Wang shifted his gaze to Zhang Xiaolai again.
I also followed Uncle Wang to look at Zhang Xiaolai's hand. No way! Only then did he find that he was holding a bloody flesh head in his hand, and when he looked closely, he felt nauseous, it turned out to be his own "root of right and wrong".
Uncle Wang squatted down and took a closer look, and said to us: "This thing was taken down by himself, the cause of death-" Before he could finish speaking, Guo Qingxiang behind him pointed to Zhang Xiaolai's neck and shouted, "Yes...... There are tooth marks! ”
It was a row of slight tooth marks, but it wasn't human, it looked like a snake bite.
The ancient burial mound village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and snakes are often seen. Occasionally, villagers are bitten by snakes, so people in their teens and twenties can recognize the snake's tooth marks.
Uncle Wang leaned down and looked at it for a while, and his face changed suddenly.
"Was it a snake bite?" I asked hurriedly.
Uncle Wang shook his head, to be precise, it's not a snake, it's a hundred times more terrifying than a snake, it's a Gu worm!
Gu worms? Recently, I have heard this name more than once, but I have never understood what a Gu worm is, and the others are also looking at Uncle Wang with a blank face, waiting for him to explain further.
Uncle Wang straightened up and sighed, but his face was still ugly: "Have you ever heard of the old Miao people? ”
Some shook their heads, others nodded.
Uncle Wang didn't pay attention to it and continued: "The old Miao people are a branch of the Miao people, to be precise, the Miao tribe that has always inherited the ancient traditions of the Miao people, and now they are hidden in the deep mountains of Guizhou, and these people are good at Gu arts......"
Gu art is a mysterious witchcraft inherited from the Miao people in ancient times.
It was first seen in some religious books in the central Hunan and Gumeishan areas of western Hunan Province, where literati and scholars passed on each other, and the Han book of the pen also seemed to think that there was something wrong, and some pharmacists also believed it to be true, so they came up with many famous halls for curing Gu.
Many insects invade the stomach and intestines of people, and the effect of beetle erosion is called Gu, also known as Zhong Gu. The people spread the magic that harmed the people.
Uncle Wang paused, then changed his words and said: "Actually, Miao Gu really exists, and they are quite powerful, I saw their power with my own eyes ten years ago. ”
Gao Guofeng was a little stunned, and pointed to the strange tooth marks on Zhang Xiaolai's neck: "This is obviously a snake's tooth mark, how can it be a Gu?" ”
Uncle Wang snorted coldly: "The Gu worms mentioned are actually common centipedes, scorpions, snakes and other insects, which have been cultivated by people with Gu techniques, and they can even have human thinking. ”
"That'...... What about Gu worms? Gao Guofeng was so frightened that he hurriedly looked around, and the others also showed frightened expressions.
"Gu worms are more disciplined than people, and when they are done, they must have returned to their owners." Uncle Wang said casually.
I pondered for a while and asked Uncle Wang, "Our village is at least tens of thousands of miles away from Guizhou, how can there be such a thing?" ”
"In fact, ten years ago, the village appeared, and at that time, Lao Huang was almost killed......"
Hearing Uncle Wang say this, I suddenly remembered the content of my grandmother's letter, Mrs. Mingyue and Grandma have come to Gufun Village every ten years for nearly forty years, Uncle Wang, they should know Mrs. Mingyue and Lao Huang!
I asked Uncle Wang, and the corners of Uncle Wang's mouth raised: "I didn't expect it directly!" Because when they came ten years ago, we didn't know that her name was Mrs. Mingyue, and besides, she wasn't like this at all......"
Uncle Wang said a lot of things, I pondered for a while, and I probably understood what he meant.
Lao Huang didn't look like this at all ten years ago, and Mrs. Mingyue was an old lady who was old, and the first few times they didn't deal with the people in the village at all, even Uncle Wang only knew that they were Taoists who guarded the village.
Speaking of Mrs. Mingyue, I just remembered that Mrs. Mingyue and Lao Huang have rarely been active in the village recently, but they only appeared once on the morning of the day they found out that Liu's drunkard had died.
While cleaning up the scene, Uncle Wang warned us that the cause of Zhang Xiaolai's death must be kept secret, and even so, the news of Zhang Xiaolai's tragic death spread throughout the village early the next morning.
What happened next was just terrifying, the third and fourth people died one after another, right under our noses.
The two men were talking and laughing a few minutes before they died, then shivered, and then laughed and stripped naked.
We wanted to stop it, but there was no way at all, these two people suddenly became extremely strong, and it was easy to throw the person who pounced on them more than a meter.
After the third person stripped naked, he began to scratch and scratch with his hands, and soon his whole body was covered with blood, and what was even more terrifying was that he also bit off his tongue, and dipped his hand in the blood in his mouth and wrote on the wall, "It's not that the time has not come", after writing, he laughed, and the blood in his mouth instantly stained his chest.
At this time, none of the dozen or so of us dared to stop him, and watched him laugh and then crash into the wall and die.
With a thud, half of his head was knocked out.
The fourth man rushed into the kitchen naked, took a kitchen knife and hacked himself to death, and before he died, he wrote eight large letters on the wall, and we watched as we were just as helpless as they turned into a corpse.
"It's a curse! It's a curse! ”
At this time, Li Wenkang, who had been crazy in the village for ten years, suddenly seemed to be enchanted, shouting loudly while scurrying around the street.
The neighbors are also all in front of each other, and the atmosphere is very depressing.
According to the list on the wall, the fifth person is Han Jianjian.
Han Jianli is Han Laosan's nephew, but the relationship between the two families is not good, and it has reached the point of incompatibility, and it is said that the two generations of the previous generation fought for the slaughtering business.
Han Jianli can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, and he picked up the pig-killing knife before graduating from junior high school, especially in the past few years after Han Laosan's "pig knife handwashing", he became the only butcher within dozens of miles in the vicinity, and the business is booming.
People who kill pigs and sheep generally do not believe in evil, and Han Jianli is no exception.
Knowing the news that the first four people on the list had all died tragically, he sharpened his knife at home for a long time and prepared several bottles of wine.
"I want to see who can take my life!" Before dark, he stood at the gate shouting with a wine bottle in one hand and a pig-killing knife in the other.
In doing so, he gave the neighborhood a little confidence.
I heard a couple of people talking.
"Maybe this kid will get away with it......"
"Looking at his tiger's back, I guess the dirty things are afraid of him!"
"He's a god...... You forgot how to marry a daughter-in-law......"
I have also heard about Han Jianjian's marriage to his daughter-in-law, it seems that it was eight or nine years ago!
Han Jianjian's daughter-in-law Huang Tingting is very handsome, with a convex and backward figure, even after giving birth to two children now, but any normal man will be moved when he sees it.
It is said that there were many people who fell in love with his daughter-in-law back then, whether it was her appearance or family background, there was enough mahjong cards in front of Han Jianjian.
It is strange to say that whoever goes to her daughter-in-law's house to propose marriage, at night, his livestock is cut into several pieces, and slowly no one dares to propose marriage anymore.
Later, Han Jianli carried four oxen thighs to propose marriage, but her daughter-in-law's parents neither wanted to agree nor dared to refuse.
Han Jianjian was also horizontal, and put down the sentence, "Since you don't object, you agree!" As he spoke, he went directly to the next bedroom to pick up his daughter-in-law, who was not his daughter-in-law at the time, and left.
Before leaving, he also said with a grin, "The cave room spends candle nights, when you kill pigs and sheep, you can't stop hitting the day when you choose a day."
What parent doesn't feel sorry for their children? His father-in-law, who was not his father-in-law at the time, hurriedly went up to theorize, kicked with his feet, and beat him with a stick. Han Jianli always looked at it with a hippie smile, and grinned, "Father-in-law is tired!" ”
Seeing that there was no real way, the old man cried and asked his daughter if she could accept Han Jianjian.
At first, her daughter-in-law resisted, crying and scolding Han Jianjian, but at this time, she quieted down and replied in a low voice, "Listen to your father!" ”
In this way, Han Jianjian had a daughter-in-law.
It is said that before getting married, he promised his father-in-law three requests, one of which was that he would not beat his daughter-in-law no matter what, and Han Jianli really did it in the past eight years, not only did he not beat his daughter-in-law, but he was still a master who was really afraid of his daughter-in-law.
