67: Coming
If you leave the village after dark, you will die.
The hall suddenly became quiet, thinking back to the explanation that my grandmother had just given to everyone, I was a little puzzled, thinking that since I knew that I would die if I left the village after dark, why didn't my grandmother tell the people in the village when she explained to the people in the village just now, but only vaguely said that you should not rush out of the village after dark.
Thinking of my grandmother's sigh just now, and her somewhat struggling face at the moment, I immediately understood why my grandmother did this. Knowing the result of leaving the village after dark, she vaguely expressed her meaning because her grandmother originally wanted someone from the village to leave the village after dark.
What happened in the village has made the whole village panic, although grandma's prestige in the hearts of the people in the village is not small, but not all of them will listen to grandma's explanation and stay in the village.
You don't have to think much about it to know that there will be some people in the village who will not listen to the advice and rush out of the village after dark, trying to see if they can go out.
But they couldn't get out, at first I thought that Uncle Qin's arrangement outside the village was just to prevent the villagers from leaving, but now I know that he is very smart and does the opposite.
When people are trapped, what they want most is to leave.
In order to reduce trouble, Uncle Qin hid the means of harming people in the arrangement outside the village, and the villagers who wanted to leave the village would continue to enter the dense fog.
But what awaits them is not leaving, but death.
Grandma didn't pick out the result, she just wanted some disobedient people to come and sacrifice.
"Why? Why do you want people to die? ”
I asked out and wanted to know why my grandmother did this, so that some people in the village took the initiative to make sacrifices to Uncle Qin.
Knowing that Uncle Qin wanted to open the so-called treasure, he didn't stop it, but instead watched some people in the village go to sacrifice, this situation is difficult for me to understand.
Grandma obviously saw that I knew her thoughts, and said to me weakly: "If you don't do this, the whole village will die, but if you do this, only some of them will die, if it were you, what would you choose?" ”
I don't know how to open my mouth.
Thinking about it, if you tell the people in the village that they will die if they leave the village after dark, no one in the village will rush out of the village, Uncle Qin's arrangement has been launched, and no one will sacrifice for a long time, which will only make him angry and control the monsters raised to enter the village to slaughter.
At that time, the number of dead will not be few, but innumerable.
Everything is because of a treasure that has no idea what it is.
None of the people present were outsiders, so I couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Grandma, are the rumors about the treasure true?" ”
Grandma nodded.
"What's in there?"
I want to know what the so-called treasure is, which can allow Uncle Qin to hide for more than twenty years, and ruthlessly use the people of the village to sacrifice.
"There's an evil thing sealed inside, and that old thing belongs to an evil organization, and their purpose is to find all kinds of things that can bring chaos, and want to disrupt the order of today's society."
After a short pause, Grandma continued: "At the beginning, it was rumored that there was a treasure left by the ancestors, and if you could get it, you would be able to explore the end of metaphysics, and because of this, your grandfather and I found it, but in the process of opening, we found out that we had been deceived, there was no treasure in it, only a very powerful evil thing, so we stopped opening it, and guarded down in this place to prevent someone from opening it." ”
Is it as simple as that?
After listening to it, I couldn't react for a while.
I thought it would be very deep, but I didn't expect it to be so simple, grandpa and grandma came for the things inside, and after finding out that it was an evil thing, they became guardians instead, preventing outsiders from getting it.
"Then why do you want to let Uncle Qin open it now?" Cao Guangshan couldn't help but ask, and we all looked at grandma curiously.
In this, judging from the layout of grandma, I think there should be changes.
"I'm old, I can't keep it forever, I've waited for so many years, and I'm also curious about whether it's an evil thing in it, and secondly, he has been planning for so long, he has to make a settlement, otherwise this matter will only continue to involve you."
After saying this, grandma called Xu Buhuo and went to the kitchen to discuss something. Because they didn't call me, I didn't go with me, and made all kinds of speculations with Cao Guangshan and the three of them in the hall.
It didn't take long for it to get dark, and Grandma and Xu Buhuo packed up their things, looking like they were preparing for a showdown with Uncle Qin.
Judging from Grandma's indifferent face, I knew that she must still have an arrangement, and Uncle Qin might be able to open the thing that I don't know where it was hidden, but the process would definitely not be easy.
Just after midnight, my grandmother, who had been sitting in the hall with her eyes closed, stood up, and at the same time, there was a sound of clicking outside the courtyard, and I knew that my father was coming.
Xu Buhuo also stood up with a cloth bag on his back, seeing that he was ready to go, I was nervous to follow him, wanting to go together, but as soon as I walked out of the door, my grandmother turned her head and said: "Ziwu, you stay at home, we will deal with the affairs on the mountain, if the dense fog outside the village disperses after dawn, it means that we have succeeded, but if it does not disperse, you will take them to the dark room under the old house and wait, hold on for five days, and the obstruction outside the village will dissipate." ”
The words, like the last words, made me panic.
Xu Buhuo also looked at me, from his complicated eyes, I knew that their line of work must be more auspicious, and they wanted to go with them, but before they could open their mouths to fight, grandma glared at me fiercely, and took my father, who had become a corpse, and Xu Buhuo quickly left the courtyard.
Looking at the empty courtyard door, I sat on the threshold, feeling very uncomfortable.
I'm afraid that this parting will be forever.
The wait was very painful, I couldn't sit still, I couldn't stand steadily, my whole body was uncomfortable, and the process was like years.
In the middle, several people from the village who were not very familiar with each other came to find grandma, saying that they wanted to leave the village, but the family screamed when they entered the fog, and then they were silent and wanted to go to grandma to see.
Among the people who came, the men were better, and the women were crying and crying, eager to stay at my house, and it seemed that my grandmother would not leave without showing up, and I was upset and scolded and drove them out of the house.
Growing up for 18 years, I have never felt that time will be so difficult, I picked up the flashlight again and again and wanted to rush to the back mountain to find it, but when I walked to the door, I held back.
In the end, Cao Guangshan said, the night is too dangerous, we can't do anything, and we can't go up the mountain to say that we will be caught by Uncle Qin, become a burden to grandma, and disrupt grandma's entire plan.
Think about it, grandma and Xu Buhuo are both capable people, and they have already planned to deal with Uncle Qin, if we rush in, Uncle Qin, who is forced to be urgent, will only attack us to threaten grandma and them.
In the midst of suffering, the sky outside finally slowly brightened.
After seeing that the sky was completely bright, we each took our own things and went out, and as soon as we arrived at the door, someone ran excitedly from the direction of the village, saying that the fog had dispersed.
When we heard that the fog had lifted, we turned around and rushed towards the entrance of the village, only to see that the fog that had shrouded the outside of the village was indeed dissipating.
Last night, at least 20 people died in the thick fog, and there was a lot of blood on the ground at the entrance of the village, only the shoes and things that had fallen, and the bodies were not there.
The dense fog dissipated, indicating that grandma and Xu Buhuo had succeeded.
Nervous all night, just dawn is such a good news, the haze accumulated overnight in my heart is not good to dissipate, I went straight to the back mountain Heishuigou with excitement.
Heishuigou still changed a lot overnight.
Before, there were a lot of dense weeds growing in the black water ditch, but now all these weeds are dead, and the ground is like an earthquake, and there are many cracks that are enough for feet to put in.
What about people?
After scanning the surroundings and not seeing my grandmother and Xu Buhuo, the excitement in my heart suddenly turned into uneasiness.
On the way up the mountain, I still thought that the dense fog outside the village had dissipated, indicating that my grandmother and Xu Buhuo had succeeded, and that since they had succeeded, I should be able to meet them on the way.
But along the way, expectations are getting smaller and smaller.
"Find."
I jumped headlong into the weedy deep ditch of the Black Water Gully, knowing that most of the place was around here, but I was not sure exactly where.
"Come here."
I didn't find anything in the deep ditch, and as soon as I got out, I heard Cao Guangshan's cry, and I rushed to see that a large part of the hillside had collapsed, revealing a hole.
On the ground next to the entrance of the cave, there were piles of headless corpses, all of which were from the village who had not been persuaded to leave the village last night to be sacrificed, and as for their heads, judging from the blood stains on the ground, they should have been taken to the cave.
The first time we saw so many headless corpses, several of us couldn't help but vomit, and it took a while for us to come back to our senses.
The cave was quiet and there was no sound.
Thinking of my grandmother and Xu Buhuo, who had disappeared, my heart became even more uneasy, and I held back my nausea and took the lead in the cave.
The cave is deep, and an artificially slotted path leads to the depths. The strong smell of blood pierced the nasal cavity and made it uncomfortable.
Along the way, there are no stones on both sides of the stone that have spells written in blood.
"Look."
The stone suddenly grabbed me, and I looked at the place he pointed, and in the crack between the stones, the corpse dragon was lying inside.
Last night's battle must have been fierce, Xiaolong's hands were gone, judging from the torn wounds, his two arms seemed to be torn off, his head was twisted, and his face ran to his back.
This scene can't help but remind me of my father.
I didn't go far further, and the head of the corpse spirit was on the ground, and the corpse didn't know where it had gone. If you go inside, there will be a stone cave carved out of the stone wall next to the path. In each stone cave, there is a head with a familiar face, all of whom are from the village.
Even though we had vomited a long time ago, when we saw this, we couldn't help but vomit again, and our hands and feet were even weaker.
Judging from the situation at the scene, I think that the place where the evil thing is blocked must have been opened, and my heart trembles for a while, I don't understand if it is not successful, how can the place where the evil thing be blocked will be opened again, and I will quickly go to the depths with a calm breath.
A larger stone cave appeared in front of me, the stone gate fell to the ground, and a complete corpse was lying on the ground, I rushed forward and turned the corpse over, subconsciously retreating.
Uncle Qin is dead.
He died a terrible death, I don't know what he had been through, his whole face was devoid of moisture, his face was shriveled and sticking to his face, and he looked like a dried corpse.
This was supposed to be happy, but I didn't have time to be happy, so I hurried into the cave, just to know where my grandmother and Xu Bu lived.
"Oh my God."
After the flashlight was struck, and after seeing the situation inside, several of us couldn't help but retreat.
