Chapter 55: Mountain Disaster (4)
Thinking of Zhou Dawei, Ren Zhe's heart was hot, and he quickly cooled down.
Uncle Bao is still talking.
"Entering the mountain to tie the dung eggs is mainly to cover up the popularity of the living, and the immortals in the mountains don't like to give birth to people."
Ren Zhe felt that this was the same as Lu Zhong covering his mouth and nose the night before.
"We would have kept this rule before we entered the mountain, and we had been safe for a few months. But there are also people who are dirty and don't want to really go to the title, so something happened later. ”
"At that time, the road into the mountain was not opened, and there was no means of transportation, so I relied on two legs to get in and out, and it took two days and two nights to walk to Zanglonggou."
Uncle Bao was still a young and middle-aged laborer, and seven or eight people carried dry food and tools upstream, passing through a primeval forest and crossing the Cold Dragon Ridge to reach Zanglonggou. Although the road is difficult, but at that time has experienced a huge wolf campaign, wolves, bears, leopards and other beasts have disappeared, at most you can meet a lone wolf, people walking in the barren mountains and old forests are no longer afraid of encountering fierce beasts, this is already a huge progress at that time, people also dare to rush at night to catch the road.
One night, a group of people took advantage of the darkness to walk through the woods. That night, the owl shouted with great joy, and people panicked when they heard it.
After walking through the forest for several hours, I suddenly faintly heard a cry of "huh" not far away. The people in the mountains have more or less heard some ghost stories in the deep mountains and old forests, and after hearing the real ones, everyone decided to ignore them and continue to move forward. After walking for more than half an hour, the cry did not stop, but became more poignant.
Suddenly, someone realized that after walking for a long time, he just drew a circle around the cry, and now he is back to the original point. After walking for a long time, they still returned to the original point. Didn't you encounter a ghost hitting the wall. The timid suggestion is to rest in the same place and wait until dawn before leaving, anyway, after walking in the middle of the night, there is no hurry at this time.
But some people don't think so, this cry is not harmful after listening to it for a long time, the key is that this voice is like a young woman, and if there is no tenderness. Hearing this, a few old bachelors itched in their hearts, and they couldn't suppress the turmoil in their hearts to see what was going on.
The timid were already afraid of things, but they were instigated by a few bold ones, and they didn't dare to stay where they were, and they passed with the bold rush and crying.
In the moonlight, a lone mountain temple stood in a clearing a hundred and ten meters away. The cry came from this temple.
"This temple is not built properly, the mountain temple is generally built on a mountain full of yang energy, how can it be built in this yin forest. Isn't this the same as Sun Wukong becoming the back of the temple. After smoking a cigarette, Uncle Bao directly took two calloused fingers and twisted them out.
"We were holding old-fashioned flashlights, the kind with two No. 2 dry batteries, which didn't shine far and didn't shine brightly. At that time, no one dared to enter the temple gate, so they all took flashlights and shone inside. Guess what we saw? ”
"Hey, this old man will still sell Guanzi, say it quickly." , Lu Zhong raised his voice.
Under the mud tires of that small temple, there sat a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and very handsome.
Seeing each other clearly, the eyes of the singles here lit up, and their eyes slashed at each other's bodies a few times like knives, but still no one dared to approach. Because the girl was holding a wolf in her arms. The wolf stopwatch was huge, the fur was shiny, but his eyes were closed, and the wolf's head was hanging in the arms of the female baby, and it seemed that he was either dead or seriously injured. The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, who can be sure that the giant wolf will burst out, and this girl is even more bizarre, holding a wolf full of sadness, as if it is her own relative. Looking at this scene, the people who had only heard ghost stories on weekdays seemed to have been immobilized, so they stayed in front of the temple gate and stood motionless for a long time.
After a while, the girl stopped crying, gently removed the wolf's head from her arms, patted the dirt on her body and stood up. The big guys were startled and ran back en masse. Who knew that the girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the pile of people, saying you come here. A smile appeared on Uncle Bao's dark face, "I didn't know if it was pointing at me, I was stunned, and when I looked back, I saw that those guys had retreated far behind me, and when I turned back, didn't that finger point at me." I took a few steps forward, my eyes still fixed on the wolf at the girl's feet. ”
The girl didn't recognize her life at all, and walked a few steps towards me, saying you can do me a favor. I don't know whether I should agree or not, I heard the old man say that someone in the barren mountains and mountains calls your name and you can't agree casually, I don't know if this can be said. The girl didn't wait for me to agree, so she ordered, "Go and help me collect some firewood, and I want to repair the wood." I turned around and wanted to pull the two of us together to pick up pine branches. I saw that there was a figure behind him. While scolding these individuals for being unrighteous, I also wanted to find an opportunity to escape, but who knew that the ghost still hit the wall, and I couldn't run out, so I had to obediently go to collect firewood. ”
When the pine trees at the entrance of the temple were piled up, the girl said yes. She took the wolf out of the temple and put it on the ground, bowed to the wolf a few times, and stretched out her finger to cut the wolf's belly. ”
"Fingers?" , Ren Zhe asked.
"Rare and weird." , Lu Zhong took the opportunity to put an end to the grievances before the fragment.
"Well," the old shepherd affirmed and affirmed, "the girl's fingertips seemed to be extremely sharp, and when she placed it on the wolf's belly, she gently swiped it down, and the wolf's belly was cut, but it was not like a sheep's intestines flowing out, like the zipper on a man's clothes." She gestured a small hand to the open place, and when she shook it, there was an extra glowing stone in her hand as if by magic. ”
Uncle Bao is still amazed when he thinks of this after many years.
Then the girl waved her arm upward, and the wolf's carcass was lifted up like a rope, and slowly moved over the pile of pine branches. At the same time, the pine branch somehow lit it, dripping with pine oil, crackled and burned, and the more it burned, the bigger it burned, and finally wrapped the wolf corpse inside, and after a while it burned to ashes. The girl looked at the ashes and was stunned for a while, wiped away two lines of tears, and said you go. Although I was frightened, my brain was not broken, and I wanted to run away as soon as I heard this, for fear that she would regret it again. Before he could take three steps, he heard her shouting behind him, come back ......"
I secretly screamed "no" in my heart, but I did as she was told. When I turned around, the girl had reached my back at some point, and looking at her white face in the moonlight, I was so frightened that I almost peed my pants. She didn't mean to hurt me, but just patted me on the back and said to my ear: There is a ghost among you people. ”
"I said in my heart that it's impossible, all the folks in the township, everyone is familiar with the communist clothes, how can there be ghosts? I wanted to ask, but the girl suddenly disappeared. Then I heard someone calling my name, and a hand slapping my face, and when I opened my eyes, I saw myself lying in someone else's arms, and when I looked at the temple again, there was no trace of what I had just seen. ”
"When the big guy saw me wake up, his nervous heart relaxed. It turned out that I suddenly fainted when I just put the flashlight into the temple, the girl and the wolf were just a dream, and there was nothing in the temple except for clay sculptures. But it's not right to think about it, everyone heard the cry, why was it only me who saw the girl? ”
The old shepherd pondered for a moment, as if he had not yet figured out the question.
"But I still keep an eye on it, after all, this night is dark and windy, if it is really as the girl said, there is a ghost around, it is estimated that it will also harm people. I didn't tell me about the girl, I just followed everyone forward, and everyone didn't want to stay in this place longer. I walked around again, but I still couldn't get out, and the time was already in the middle of the night, and I didn't have the strength to go again, so I had to go back to the temple. ”
"After a night's journey, the mood was nervous, and the throat was as dry as smoking ten bags of dry tobacco, and it happened that at this time someone found a deep well behind the temple, and everyone wanted to draw some water to drink, but there was no rope and bucket on the well, and the big guys stared at each other, and they were ready to endure it until dawn. However, there is a Wu Lao Liu who is a gourd skin, and he has to pull his hair head to go down the well to fetch water for everyone. ”
"Maotou is a young man who has just come of age, his blood is strong, he has a lot of brute strength, but he is a rectum, he has no heart, and he is very happy to hear that Wu Lao Liu wants to pull him to fetch water for everyone."
The mouth of the well is not big, and people can go up and down by kicking the wall of the well with their legs forked, so they discussed letting Maotou go down to the bottom of the well to draw water first, and Wu Lao Liu climbed above his head to receive the steel cage, and then passed it to the people above. As he spoke, Mao Tou carried a steel cage (iron bucket) and went down the well, and Wu Laoliu poked his legs into the well with a short body. Because I was always thinking about what the girl had said, my eyes kept looking at each of them. At the moment when he was about to hide in the well, the moon struck him, and a shadow shone on the well, and I suddenly saw that in that shadow, on his back—as if, as if, there was a faint head of a man. ”
"The hair is thin and long and sticks to the head, the hair is coaxing, I can't see the appearance clearly, I just feel that when I look at it, my back is cold." Mao Tou", I plucked up the courage to scream despite my fear. ”
This may be the bravest act of an ordinary person in addition to being frightened - many times, people look at the people around them who are wronged and bullied, but they would rather choose to watch from the sidelines, who dares to say that they are not such people?
Everyone looked at me, and Wu Lao Liu also stopped his movements and stared at me with the head of the people. Wu Lao Liu is okay, those dead fish eyes are already bulging, and he doesn't feel anything when he is used to seeing it on weekdays; But the man's head seemed to grit its teeth, which made people afraid. ”
"I leaned into the pile of people and shouted to the well, Maotou, do you remember what your wife told you when you went out? The hairy head in the well said that he remembered, and he listened to the sound of rustling in the well, and the hairy head in the well began to push Wu Laoliu up. Wu Lao Liu was helpless, so he staggered his body and put his hair on his head. ”
"Coward, Wu Lao Liu complained angrily, snatched the steel cage from Maotou's hand, and didn't call others, and went down the well alone."
"What did his mother tell him to make him so obedient?" , Lu Zhong asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's an old saying, one person doesn't enter the temple, and two people don't look at the well. After all, they are going to pan for gold, and no matter how honest a person is, they must always be vigilant. ”
The old sheep suddenly stood up, put his hand into a horn, and shouted to the head sheep running in the front in the distance: "De'er ~ beg", the old sheep who was about to get out of the range of vision stopped moving forward, buried his head in the well grass and began to harvest back, and Uncle Bao sat back on the ground.
After half a bag of cigarettes, Wu Laoliu climbed out of the well with difficulty with a steel cage in his mouth, and when I looked again, there was nothing in his shadow. Looking at his enthusiasm, I wondered if it was because I was dazzled and blamed him just now...... But when I was distributing water for everyone to drink, I saw the corners of his mouth upturned and smiled weirdly, so I simply endured my thirst and didn't drink it. ”
After drinking the water, no one dared to enter the temple, so they spread felt in front of the temple gate and slowed down. After a day and a night's journey, as soon as I lay down, I became sleepy. I was about to fall asleep when I heard the sound of water rattling from the well. I saw through the moonlight that the big guys were there, especially the old man Wu Liu, who was facing the sky on his back, straightened his legs, and slept like a wooden plow. I was a spirit, and my eyes were fixed on the well. ”
"It was like a live chicken had fallen in the well, and the sound of the water was no longer audible after a few beats. Just when I couldn't help but get up to see what was going on, a hand stretched out from the well and put it on the platform of the well, like a dry branch, like a big chicken paw. Then a human head appeared at the mouth of the well, and it was the one on Wu Laoliu's back. The head slowly rose up to the platform, and below was a blurred shadow, hunched over a soap-colored robe, which had long since rotted into a black patch on the ground. ”
"The figure fluttered down the well and moved towards us. I was frightened and scared in my heart, this deep mountain and old forest, even if I escaped, I would definitely not be able to run away from him, and I thought in my heart why it was not bright this day, so thinking about it, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. It was already the middle of the night when we encountered the ghost hitting the wall, and why was the moon still in the middle of the sky when we went around and around for half the night? ”
By this time the ghost had approached the nearest man, and he leaned down and sniffed at the man's face. It was only then that I could see the face of the thing: a pointed chin, a hooked nose, two sunken eye sockets, no eyes in the sockets, only two clouds of ink-like mist. The long, thin hair was wet and sticking to the dead gray face - I don't know if it was the face, or maybe it was bone. ”
"The thing bowed down to the person's face one by one, as if it was blowing, and it seemed to be exhaling, and there was nothing unusual to see, and the sleeping was still sleeping, but the snoring was quieter. Could it be inhaling yang energy? I wasn't sure, but I made up my mind, and when it was my turn, I closed my eyes tightly and held my breath. Sure enough, when the thing finished sucking, the others came to me. I closed my eyes and held my breath, not knowing what he was going to do. I felt the air chill a little colder, then a slight sizzle, and then silence. ”
"After about half a minute, there was no movement, and I wanted to open my eyes to take a look, but suddenly I felt that the cool air had shifted to the other side. He hadn't left yet, probably just staring at me. After another half a minute of stalemate, I gradually lost my breath, and then a sticky drop of water fell from my forehead, and I felt that grimace was close to my face again, and the hairs on my mouth could already feel the cold air it exhaled. ”
"At this moment, there was a sudden chill in my neck, like a person who had just come from outside in the past for thirty-nine days suddenly put his hand into your hot quilt. It was so cold that I couldn't hold it anymore and took a big breath of cold air. ”
"Originally, this little life was not guaranteed, but who knew that this breath was sucked, as if something was sucked out of the ghost's mouth and directly into the lungs. That feels...... Sizzle. The old shepherd changed his intoxicated appearance again, as if it was worth recalling.
I stopped pretending, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the grimace sticking to me with a stunned face. As soon as I opened my eyes, I startled it, covered my mouth and jumped three feet away, then looked back at me in horror, and then walked into the woods...... Escaped...... Escaped ......"
Ren Zhe couldn't imagine that this old shepherd would have such a comical operation when he saw the ghost, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a paragraph in "Journey to the West", but the one who made Tang Sanzang burst into thunder, made up the scene at that time, and couldn't help laughing a few times in his heart.
The old shepherd continued: "As soon as the ghost was gone, the sky suddenly brightened. I also became bolder, and hurriedly got up to wake them up, but I couldn't call the sixth Wu Laoliu, and when I touched my hand on my body, everyone was already dead. ”
"If you die, you can't go to pan for gold anymore, and the big guy carries Wu Laoliu's body back to the village. It's strange to say, after going back, these people were seriously ill before and after, and their bodies could never recover. It's just me, hehe...... My wife was looking forward to the dark all day, Xiao Ren was not married, so I won't talk about it, I won't say it...... Hey, hey, hey. Uncle Bao waved his hand and squeezed another face of folds.
"Who knows who uses it", Lu Zhong chirped at the old shepherd and said with a lewd smile.
"Later, I thought, at that time, when I encountered a ghost hitting the wall, Wu Lao Liu let that ghost get on his body, that is, he went into the mountain without paying attention to the rules, did not hold dung and eggs, and defecated everywhere, these are all unacceptable."
"Okay, old man, you said you were fat and you were still panting." , Lu Zhong said with his hands, "That year should be the Year of the Goat." ”
"How do you know?"
"You've been with sheep all your life, and you don't have a little bit of pressure in your heart? There's a lot of truth in this, and you don't understand it. But it's not that you have the ability to cut off that ghost, it's the one that the girl slapped on your back when she was leaving. As soon as the ghost left, the sky was bright, including the ghost hitting the wall, which means that you were in an enchantment at that time, so it couldn't rain, and the drop of water that fell on your face was eighty percent from the ghost, and it might have been its saliva when it was so close...... This thing is very powerful, if you want to put aside ordinary people and don't give you plastic surgery, you are not only fine, but you can also gasp its yin qi, this is not scientific, so I suspect that the girl must have left a handprint on your back and other ghost-defeating things, so that you have a happy life where your body is now great, and you can eat Ma Ma Xiang. ”
Lu Zhong was playing up superstition there, while shouting "This is not scientific", Ren Zhe was also drunk, and then thought of the girl, so he asked in his heart: "What is that girl?" ”
Lu Zhong paused and said, "It's hard to say, maybe it's a wolf, maybe it's ...... It's a sheep, isn't he related to sheep? ”
A gust of wind blew on the ground, rolling up a few embarrassing leaves, Ren Zhe's face was black, and he felt that the current cartoons were too poisonous to uncles like Lu Zhong.
A sheep falls in love with a wolf? It seems that there is such a song, or maybe the gray wolf and the beautiful sheep......
"That's the wolf falling in love with the sheep~ The madness of love, they wandered together to a distant ......"
"Stop, what a mess."
