Chapter 109: The Missing Old People
I walked to the door as soon as possible, but I saw a scene that made me extremely frightened, Grandpa Zhu slowly walked out of the room. γLatest chapter reading. γ
Grandpa Zhu in the moonlight walked aimlessly into the distance, his speed was not fast, and his body was very stiff.
Corpse mutation, did it really happen?
Things in Yanluo Village are getting more and more weird, the bloodthirsty salamander that suddenly appeared, the old man who disappeared, and now Grandpa Zhu has changed again, what the hell is going on.
Captain Luo looked at me and whispered, "Luo Changtian, the situation here is not quite right, I'll look for Xiao Wu nearby, you follow Uncle Zhu and see where he goes." β
I don't want to be separated from Captain Luo, but as things stand, we have to be separated.
Captain Luo told us to be careful, so he pulled out his pistol and headed to the east, I looked at the boss and said, "Let's go, let's follow Grandpa Zhu and see where he goes." β
Our group slowly followed behind Grandpa Zhu, as if he was completely unconscious, he walked towards the front vigorously, bumping and bumping along the way, walking for about twenty minutes, and finally came to an open forest.
When I arrived in the forest, I was shocked to see that the missing old man and grandmother were all here.
I motioned to the boss to be quiet, and quietly hid behind a big tree, although I couldn't see the old people's appearance clearly, but judging from their movements, it was certainly nothing good.
The old people gathered in a circle, knelt on the ground, and raised their hands above their heads, as if they were doing some kind of sacrifice.
Grandpa Zhu slowly walked between them, and stood still like this, looking particularly terrifying in the moonlight.
The old people knelt down for a while, then held hands and began to circle around Grandpa Zhu.
While going around in circles, he was still singing in a dialect that he didn't understand at all.
The eldest heard the old man's singing voice and whispered: "Changtian, it seems that they are singing a song to exorcise evil spirits, which has been passed down from my grandfather's generation, how do I feel as if they are holding an exorcism ceremony." β
I whispered, "Boss, your grandfather is not inside, are all the old people in the village here?" β
The boss shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, it seems that they are all here, strange, why haven't I heard my grandfather mention such a strange ritual before." β
I don't know what these old people are doing, but Zhang Ye has been recording, and I don't know if I can record it clearly in such a dark environment.
I said, "Little Love, what do you think, should we go over and interrupt them?" β
Xiao Ai observed for a while and replied: "Changtian, why do I think these old people seem to be a little delirious, they may not know what they are doing, let's observe for a while." β
I agree with Xiao Ai's statement, until you figure it out, it's best not to startle the snake.
We hid behind a tree and observed, and after about ten minutes, Grandpa Zhu suddenly fell straight down.
After Grandpa Zhu fell, the old men and grandmothers stood up, held hands and lined up, and began to walk slowly in the direction where we were.
In the dead of night in the forest, a group of old people lined up to walk, not to mention how weird the picture over there was, especially when they approached, their eyes were really dim and expressionless, all of them seemed to be walking dead.
The boss had been secretly counting the number of people, and only after all the old people had passed over did he take a long breath and said, "Changtian, there is no one missing, except for Grandpa Zhu, all of them are inside." β
This group of old people gives me the same feeling as the evil spirit, there must be some reason for this, but we haven't found any clues yet.
I originally wanted to go to see Grandpa Zhu, but Xiao Ai said that it was not appropriate to act rashly, and suggested going back to the village first, so we had to rush back in a hurry, and the first stop was to go to the boss's grandfather's house.
Grandpa Li was still expressionless, but at this time, he was sitting at the table and eating porridge one bite at a time, and after eating the porridge, Grandpa Li went back to the room to sleep by himself.
The boss stayed here to watch Grandpa Li, and Xiao Ai and Zhang Ye and I went to several nearby houses, almost all of them were in the same state.
Strange, what the hell is going on here, how can their actions be so uniform.
Just when we couldn't figure out the situation, there was a sudden banging of gunfire in the distance, and we didn't know if it was Officer Wu or Captain Luo.
About five minutes later, Captain Luo appeared in the village panting, and I hurriedly walked over and said, "Captain Luo, what's the matter, were you shooting just now?" β
Captain Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "Just now, when I was looking for Xiao Wu near the east end of the village, I saw a black figure, so I went to chase him, and he led me to the woods to the east. β
Captain Luo used a quotation, that is, the figure was deliberate.
I said, "Captain Luo, you mean, that man brought you over on purpose?" β
Captain Luo nodded and said, "That's how I feel, his speed is obviously fast, but he just stops and goes, and always keeps a certain distance from me." β
"Captain Luo, do you see who it is?"
"I couldn't see clearly, it was too dark in the woods, and the man was quite tall anyway, and then I didn't plan to chase him, so I shot him, and the figure quickly disappeared."
Strange, obviously you can run fast, why do you want to lure Captain Luo away, can it be.
I reacted immediately, looked at Captain Luo and said, "Captain Luo, you were fooled, that person deliberately lured you away, I wondered, could it be that you were about to find Officer Wu just now." β
When Captain Luo heard my explanation, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, Luo Changtian, you are right, why am I careless." β
In fact, it's no wonder that Captain Luo, the entire Yanluo Village is full of strange atmosphere, and from the moment they found out that the old people were missing, everyone's nerves jumped tightly.
Now it's too late to go back and look for it, and everyone is already very tired, I said, "Captain Luo, boss, let's rest first, and we'll see the situation tomorrow morning." β
The boss nodded and said, "Yes, you go to the east room to rest, I'll go see my grandfather, and I'll talk about it tomorrow morning." β
We gave the bed to Xiao Ai, she was really tired, fell asleep on the bed, looking at her quiet and sound sleep, I had mixed feelings in my heart.
If we are looking aimlessly like this, we will definitely not be able to find the entrance to the ancient tomb in a short time, Deng Xiping once photographed the mysterious entrance to the cave, which may be the entrance to the ancient tomb found back then.
His backpack fell at the entrance of the village, something must have happened, and I had a feeling that he should be nearby.
In a daze, I leaned against the corner and fell asleep.
The next morning, Xiao Ai woke me up, she said that Grandpa Li didn't know anything, and asked me not to talk nonsense.
I followed Xiao Ai to the outside of the house, and as soon as the boss saw me, he said enthusiastically: "Grandpa, he is my college roommate Luo Changtian, you were asleep when we came last night, so you will spend the night in my room." β
Grandpa Li nodded, motioned for us to sit down for breakfast, and said, "Ah Ming, why did you come back so late, it's not easy to walk at night, and we have nothing to entertain in this poor place." β
I hurriedly said, "Grandpa Li, it's okay, I heard the boss talk about Yanluo Village, and I came over to take a look when I was curious." β
Captain Luo was the last to come out, and he didn't seem to have much appetite, so he asked directly: "Uncle Li, I want to ask you something, how did Uncle Zhu die next door, why didn't you notify the funeral home to take him away." β
Grandpa Li sighed: "Our old guys are staying here, and they will be buried here if they die, Lao Zhu was fine the day before yesterday, but he suddenly shouted that his heart hurt at noon yesterday, and he couldn't do it in the afternoon, or Xiping helped pull it into the coffin." β
Xiping is Deng Xiping.
I hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Li, what about Deng Xiping, we agreed to go up the mountain together, and he ran away alone." β
I didn't mean to lie to Grandpa Li, I just didn't want to do much.
Grandpa Li really didn't know the situation, shook his head and said: "I don't know, Xiping's state doesn't seem to be very good, he often talks nonsense alone, he went to the back mountain alone last night, I am one, one, hey, why can't I remember what I did last night?" β
Sure enough, it was an evil spirit, and Grandpa Li didn't remember what happened in the second half of last night.
I was about to ask for more details, but who knew that a gray-haired old woman walked in and shouted, "Village Chief Li, it's time to go out for the funeral." β
Grandpa Li looked at us and replied, "Okay, I'll come right away, my grandson brought a few friends over today, let them help carry the coffin." β
Carrying the coffin is a small matter, but since it is a funeral, that is to say, Grandpa Zhu came back by himself last night?
