23: The terrible Uncle Qin
There is one thing I can't figure out, there is treasure, why not take it away?
I thought again: Did Uncle Qin stay in the village to find the so-called treasure? The third person who killed a lot of people, hidden in the village for so many years, is also for the treasure? What the hell is grandma hiding?
I used to think that she had been living in the old mansion because she was more taboo in what she was engaged in, and she was quiet. I heard my mother say that my grandmother was not in the house, but she suddenly came out of the house, and I knew that there must be a secret hole in the old house.
Originally, I wanted to see if Xu Buhuo went back to the new house to rest, but because I suddenly knew that there was a secret exit from the old house, I was full of curiosity about this old house.
Just take advantage of Xu Buhuo's absence, and look for it. I knocked on every room, on the walls, on the ground, and soon searched the whole room, but I still didn't find anything.
Even so, I'm pretty sure there must be a secret hole in the old mansion. If I had found it so easily, Xu Buhuo would have found it long ago.
Knowing the reason why Xu Buhuo was so dedicated, I didn't continue to be kind, took out the cloth bag given by Uncle Qin, and prepared to find an opportunity to put it in the cloth bag that Xu Buhuo was carrying.
Regarding the treasure, I naturally pretended not to know anything, even if it was Uncle Qin, I didn't plan to say it. Before returning to the new house, I went to Uncle Qin's house, and to my surprise, his door was open, but he didn't know where he went.
When I was waiting in the yard, I found that in the corner of the yard, there were a lot of dung balls that looked like sheep feces and did not look like sheep dung, the size was about the same size as sheep dung, but it was longer than sheep dung.
Uncle Qin only raised chickens, nothing else, I can't figure out where so many dung balls come from. After waiting for a while, I still didn't wait for Uncle Qin to come back, I was sleepy, and I was ready to go back to sleep.
"What are you doing here?"
As soon as I walked out of the door of Uncle Qin's small courtyard, Xu Buhuo's voice sounded coldly from behind, and in an instant, my whole body was cold, and I didn't expect to bump into Xu Buhuo at Uncle Qin's door.
"Uncle Qin is sick, I'll take a look, why haven't you slept?"
At this moment, I couldn't tell how nervous I was, even though I pretended to be calm, but I clearly knew that I didn't hide it well, and I felt anxious and regretful. It is clear that if Xu Buhuo finds out that it is Uncle Qin who secretly helps me, things will be a little complicated.
"Uncle Qin? What's wrong? I know a little bit about Chinese medicine, so I'll show him. Xu Buhuo said and walked into the courtyard, I used Uncle Qin's absence to stop him, but he still walked straight into the courtyard.
Before entering the courtyard, Xu Buhuo closed his eyes and stood still in a daze, making me stand beside me with a confused face, I don't know which one he did.
A minute later, Xu Buhuo opened his eyes and asked me with a smile: "Don't you feel it, is it cool in this yard?" ”
Not to mention that I haven't noticed it, but when I say this, I realize that the courtyard is indeed much cooler than the outside. Thinking that Uncle Qin was from that side, there was no arrangement in the yard, so I didn't think much about it, and was about to shout Xu Buhuo to leave, when he suddenly wrinkled his nose, as if he smelled something, walked straight to the corner, bent down and picked up a dung ball.
After rubbing his fingers to crush the dung ball, Xu Buhuo sniffed it in front of his nose, turned his head and asked me: "I remember you said that you saw a mouse as big as a rabbit around the woman's grave before?" ”
I nodded subconsciously.
"Didn't you notice that these are rat droppings? It's just that this rat is bigger than the average one, probably about the same size as the one you see. ”
Rat droppings?
Looking at the dung ball on the ground, I was stunned. When I saw the dung ball before, I was still thinking about how it felt a little familiar, but I couldn't tell that something was wrong there. Now that I look at it, the dung ball on the ground is really an enlarged version of mouse droppings.
Those huge rats, could they all be raised by Uncle Qin?
"I remember you also said that the eyes of those rats are cloudy, if my guess is correct, this kind of rat, not grown up eating food, but eating human flesh, is called a corpse rat, the eyes are invisible, the sense of smell is very sensitive, the secret method of breeding, the spirituality is stronger than that of a dog, there is no blood in the body, and its feces and corpse smell."
Xu Buhuo handed me a mouse feces, I smelled it, and immediately felt a little familiar before I reacted, because I had smelled this smell on Mrs. Wang's body before, and it turned out to be a corpse smell.
In an instant, I was ice from head to toe.
No wonder rats can look like rabbits, it turns out that they eat human flesh and grow up, they can kneel on the ground like people, it turns out to be psychic, pierced by wooden sticks, and no blood appears at all.
Thinking back to the eight big rats around Jiang Yan's grave, I subconsciously thought, could the eight big rats be caused by Uncle Qin?
Why did he raise corpse rats with human flesh? Then get Jiang Yan's grave to kneel around?
Xu Buhuo walked to the chicken coop not far away at this time, he squatted next to the chicken coop and stared at the thin chickens inside, and after looking at it for more than ten seconds, he snorted and laughed, and said to me: "This Uncle Qin of yours is not weak." ”
"What's wrong?" I also looked at the chicken coop and felt that Xu Buhuo found that there was something wrong with the chicken.
"Do you know why this chicken is so skinny? This chicken is called Soul Eater Chicken, it eats blood and does not eat meat, and it only eats human blood, so it is so thin, I don't believe you can find a worm to try, it will definitely not eat. ”
Although I knew that Xu Buhuo dared to say this, and the truth was mostly eight or nine, I still went to the root of the wall and grabbed a worm and put it in the chicken coop, and the seven chickens in it squatted motionless.
At this time, Xu Buhuo took out a knife from his bag, poked his index finger, and slowly approached the chicken coop.
The seven chickens that were still squatting a second ago came to the chicken coop with Xu Buhuo's index finger, and they came up with a snort, scrambling to stick their heads out, wanting to peck the blood on his fingers.
I don't believe in evil, so I put the worm that crawled out of the cage next to Xu Buhuo's index finger, and we handed it forward together, and the seven chickens stared at the blood pecking from his hand, and didn't look at the bug next to him.
When I looked closely, I found that the chicken's eyes were all golden, and the back couldn't help but be hairy.
The throat, unconsciously, has long been so dry that there is no saliva to swallow. Even if I have known for a long time that Uncle Qin is also a person in this regard, but raising corpse rats with human flesh and raising soul-devouring chickens with human blood, these two methods are difficult for me to understand.
I read a lot of books left by my grandmother, and although I didn't master them all, I knew that the things raised by this method were not normal, and most of the people who knew how to use this method had some problems.
Before, he swore that he would believe in Uncle Qin and was ready to hand over everything to him, but now it seems that Uncle Qin also seems to be hiding from me, kind and kind, and it seems to be a disguise.
found that Xu Buhuo had a problem, I thought about Uncle Qin, and now Uncle Qin seems to have a problem, as well as a third person who doesn't know his identity yet, I suddenly panicked,
Leaving Uncle Qin's courtyard, Xu Buhuo suddenly asked me: "The person who moved the jade pendant I gave you is him, right?" ”
When it comes to this, I can only nod my head. I thought that Xu Buhuo would blame, but he just smiled casually, and then walked forward, but he made me nervous and stunned in place, but soon I reacted, as I thought before, Xu Buhuo didn't do anything to Yu Pei, in fact, he didn't care at all, and forced me to ask me just to give me an explanation.
The panic caused by the unknown is very slow to describe, and it makes me feel a little uncomfortable breathing.
I thought about it again, do I want to find Xu Buhuo for a showdown. I don't want to follow Uncle Qin's instructions, put the cloth bag into Xu Buhuo's cloth bag, and break the magic circle in the grandmother's mourning hall.
I fell asleep in a daze, and as soon as I arrived at the old house in the evening, my mother came out in a hurry, and I asked what was wrong, and she said, "Liu Lezi has an accident." ”
Liu Lezi is dead, what else can happen? What my mother said next made me not believe it, but it felt true.
Liu Le's body was placed in the old house left by his father, and the people who guarded the spirit were a few people from the village committee, and a few people played cards under the trees in the courtyard because of boredom and heat.
Near the evening, a person went in and found that there was blood flowing out of Liu Lezi's coffin, and several people were so frightened that they hurriedly pried open the coffin lid to see.
It's not that Liu Lezi is not there, his skin is still in the coffin, but his flesh and bones are gone.
The most puzzling thing is that after the burial, several people have already sealed the coffin. Liu Lezi's corpse was silent, and only a skin remained.
This matter has spread throughout the village, and the fact that Mrs. Wang appeared in Jiang Yan's tomb before, the people in the village began to panic, saying that Jiang Yan did it, because when Jiang Yan was still alive, Liu Lezi did not hesitate to eat tofu and take advantage.
Hearing this rumor, I really wanted to scold them with my head and face, and I thought that you can really think that anything can be pulled towards Jiang Yan.
After experiencing these things, I thought that knowing Jiang Yan may not be what I imagined. No matter how dark she is, she knows that there are bad people around me, so she wants to take me away and protect me.
Thinking back to her kind eyes, I felt that she really wanted to protect me.
The skin remained, but the flesh was gone.
Xu Buhuo heard this, let me lead the way to see.
When this happened, the people who kept the mourning hall ran directly outside the courtyard, and when they saw me and Xu Buhuo coming, they hurriedly came up with a smile and handed over cigarettes, but Xu Buhuo's eyes were like the back of his head, and he walked straight into the courtyard.
The living corpse, in the blink of an eye, only a body of skin remained, and the few people who opened the coffin should have been frightened, and the coffin lid was still on the ground and had not been cleaned up.
A whole human skin was lying on the bottom of the coffin, and the black handprint on his chest made me nervous every time I looked at it.
"Do you know where the corpse went?" I asked with nausea.
Xu Buhuo ignored me, lit a candle and continued to watch, I had nothing to do, so I just walked around.
As I was walking, a small red insect on the ground suddenly caught my attention, the size of a small insect melon seed, at first I thought it was a cockroach, after a closer look, I found that there was a pattern on the back of the insect, like a skeleton, the more I stared, the more I felt like a skeleton.
Out of curiosity, I subconsciously reached out to catch this strange bug and take a closer look.
"Don't touch that bug."
The exclamation from the rear shook my whole body.
