Five hundred meters east of the street of Goyazheng Street, there is a well, and the water on the wall of the well falls down all day long, making a ticking sound, so it is called "the well"; The appearance of the water well is very simple, and it is also very atmospheric, the whole stone is stacked together, there is no trace of superfluous carving, the flowing water has been eroded over the years, the stone slab has been carved by the years and nature to create a natural warmth, and the edges and corners of those knives and axes have become so smooth.

After the water well, there is a small bridge fifty meters straight, there is a stone tablet engraved with a page on the head of the bridge, but it is vague and vague, and it really can't be seen really; The master said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a wealthy businessman surnamed He could not be cured for a long time because of his wife's lingering illness, so he asked Mr. to calculate, and Mr. said that the family house was private, and there was no need to mention it, and he had to do more good deeds in the future to be safe and smooth.

At that time, the rich people did good deeds, the most popular is nothing more than to repair bridges and repair roads, at that time I heard at first glance that there was a small river here without a bridge, so this rich merchant funded the construction of this bridge, I think, the inscription on the bridge, about the same as this thing.

After crossing the small bridge, there is a small road on the right, and it is not a small hillside that forks in, in the past, other people's graves and graves are private, because the ancestral graves of the Yang family are buried here, so it is called Yangjiapo, but in private, everyone also calls it the corpse baby slope.

As for why it's called "Corpse Baby Slope", that's another story. Right in the middle of the road, this small patch, with pine trees on each side, dense and tall, makes it difficult for the sun to shine in all year round. In front of the low woods are a few sparse camellias, which grow along the edge of the road, and the flowers are huge, pure and uniform in white and pink, and the leaves are also full and full of bright blooms.

The sun does not shine here all year round, and the background of bright flowers is a dark wood, delicate and gloomy, like a cannibalistic evil witch door, passing by an extremely innocent and innocent Little Red Riding Hood.

This forest is called "Corpse Baby Forest", and the funny thing is that Corpse Baby Slope is also named because of the Corpse Baby Forest in this slope.

"Corpse baby" is a dialect expression, described in Mandarin, and is a child who dies early.

Someone once wondered what it looked like in the corpse forest, so he opened the dense camellia tree, went inside with a flashlight, and when he went in, he saw that in the dark woods, there were children everywhere, some on the ground, that is, at the feet, and some were stuck in the branches of the trees, just above the head; Some of the corpses were scattered, only a bone, or a hand or foot, and I don't know what animal got into it or what, and most of the corpses that were tightly wrapped when they were thrown in were scattered in the forest; There are also fresh corpses that are still wrapped in cloth and not rotten, and there is a strong stench around them, and then everyone always feels that the forest is miserable and miserable, cold, snakes, insects, rats and ants are constantly wriggling on piles of rotten meat, carrying, the eyes are the first to corrode clean, and there are only two black holes left on the head, but inexplicably, I just feel that the depths of the black hole are like something wet, full of resentment and hatred staring at you.

The man was so frightened that he ran out of the house, and after he came out, he was trembling at home for several days, and could not speak.

After the entrance of the corpse baby forest, go forward for a while, and you will reach the highest position of the corpse baby slope, where you can see a mountain col in the middle of the slope, and there is a lake in the col, which is called "Mawo Lake" in dialect.

The water of Mawo Lake is green and blue, there are pieces of rockeries around and in the middle of the lake, there are branches and vines and thorns on the rockery that hang down into the water, the environment is very beautiful, there is a gap in the middle of the rockery, the lake water is poured in, mysterious and deserted.

The sun was shining just right that day; The second, third, mute, Zhang Zhihong, Mo Xianhua, five young men went to Mawo Lake to swim. Among them, the second and third are brothers, and the others are brothers and friends in the neighborhood.

The dumb man and the third child didn't know how to water, they just went to join in the fun, and when everyone else went into the water, the two of them lay on the rocks by the lake and bask in the sun.

In the afternoon, the water by the lake is soft, the sun is like a big golden chrysanthemum stretching out of the fluff, and the breeze around carries the light aroma of pink camellia and red rhododendron.

After about half an hour passed, suddenly a force hit the third child's arm fiercely, and the pain made the third child wake up immediately; I saw that the mute who had been quiet next to him turned blue, staring at the water, and kept making "grunt" and "ah...... Ah......h

It turned out that the dumb man just turned the third child with his elbow.

"What's wrong?"

The third child tugged at the dumb man's arm, and when the mute looked over, he immediately asked him with his hand while gesturing.

"Ah...... Ah" The dumb man made an anxious voice in his throat, and gestured with his hand to tell the third child: "There are big monsters in the water." ”

Dumb fingers in the lake below the rocks.

The third child looked down and saw a black one, with a huge shadow about seven or eight meters long standing in the turquoise lake at his feet.

The third child's heart tensed suddenly, as if he was aware of the anxious and frightened gaze above, and the black shadow suddenly burst out of the water at a lightning speed, and finally saw its true face clearly.

It was a huge python, with a head the size of an adult's fist, and its eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, and it looked lifeless and a little murderous; It is worth mentioning that the snake is not as thick as words, like a giant leech.

However, the head the size of a fist has the thickness of a fir tree of more than ten years.

The third child has never seen such a terrifying giant python in his life.

Because it was motionless before, the color of its body was dark green very similar to the color of water, which was actually difficult for ordinary people to detect, if it weren't for the dumb man's natural sharp perception, maybe when the two of them would not have discovered this monster python.

The green python suddenly stared at the two of them with its huge, foggy eyes, and the third child was so weak that he didn't dare to move.

But soon, the python turned around and swam quickly towards a man in the water.

The mute immediately reflected, although he couldn't make a sound, but the mute was still trying to say "Ah" in the direction of the python...... Ahh......hh

The third child immediately caught up, shouting at everyone as he ran: "Come out quickly...... Come out, there's a big python in the water. ”

After Hong Zhihong was the first to climb out and get dressed, he immediately noticed that there was one person missing.

The second child is gone, and so is the big python.

The third child's face turned white and he sat down on the ground.

Hong Zhihong immediately hugged the third child and comforted: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go find the second brother."

Several people hurriedly looked for it, and after a while, they saw a piece of turquoise exposed half of the shore behind a rockery, and soon disappeared again, Mo Xianhua and Zhang Zhihong each picked up a long thick stick and walked in front, and the dumb man and the third child followed behind with a stone.

Zhang Zhihong thought for a while and said to the other three: "First of all, we must ensure everyone's safety for a while, and you must not do it casually." ”

Mo Xianhua and Zhang Zhihong have the strongest relationship, so they took the lead in responding, and the dumb man didn't hear it and didn't react, and the third child agreed anxiously and went forward.

The four of them turned the rockery, and sure enough, they saw that the huge dark green python was in the water on the shore, struggling to go into the water, and the second was entangled by the tail of the python in the back, and the whole person looked a little delirious, seeing that the second was about to be dragged into the water, the third was the first to pounce, and the other three hurriedly threw down the things in their hands and rushed to drag the python's tail.

The four big men still couldn't drag the big python together, and the second child looked half-dead, Zhang Zhihong and Mo Xianhua scolded while dragging it, but fortunately, they still didn't let go, because as long as they let go, the second child would be dragged into the water by the big python in an instant.

At the time of the stalemate, in less than three minutes, everyone was dragged away on the shore for a short while, and several people had some bruises on their bodies, and when they were about to die, the third shouted: "Zhihong, smash the snake's tail." Zhang Zhihong let go of one hand, and the five people were immediately dragged for a while, and he casually touched a stone and smashed it on the python's tail.

"Ah......h

This separation, the third child and Mo Xianhua sandwiched the second child, the dumb man didn't know when to hug the second child's clothes, after Zhang Zhihong broke it, the second child came to his senses and slowed down, and the other four people comforted and complained to the second child for a while and then went back.

On the way back, I passed by the corpse forest.

The delicate camellia bloomed so deliciously that the five of them turned around and walked into the forest as if they were fascinated. After entering the forest, the third child felt that his brain was clearly clear, but his body's movements were uncontrollable.

At this time, the gloomy and sympathetic, black and oppressive corpse doll forest was contrary to the usual scene, there was no light source, the black was darker, but the third child saw the rag bags in the forest quietly placed in all corners of the woods.

This is a custom in the township, saying that a child cannot be buried in the ground after he dies, otherwise the child will always be trapped in the same place.

Those rags were wrapped in children who were once so alive, who died in the most innocent time, exposed to the wilderness, exposed to the sun and rain, gnawed by wild beasts, eaten by snakes and insects, and disappeared naturally.

This may be from nature and from nature.

Seeing the large number of corpses in the forest, the third child suddenly felt a little cold in his brain and neck, so he trembled, and suddenly felt like he had thought of something in his head, but it was really chaotic.

Not far in front of the five people, under an ordinary-looking pine tree, like a fine snow that had fallen for several days, a frosty white spread on the ground, and behind the tree, it was like entering another world, full of white, so clean, as if in a world that was both beautiful and desolate, and couldn't help but shock the hearts of the five people.

After a few people walked in and took a closer look, they realized that the white color in the woods was actually very simple, but it was like a layer of white flour-like powder floating on the mud.

The mute suddenly squatted down and used his hands to dig the white soil on the ground, but the third child felt that it was best not to touch anything in this kind of place, and was trying to stop the dumb man, but found that it was too late. I saw the dumb man stretch out his hand to plane, and the third child realized that the original white powder was not only white on the surface, but the dumb man kept digging down, and there was always a layer of white on the ground like the surface.

All five of them were intently watching how deep the white powder had been under the tree, and they were in amazement.

Suddenly, the mutation protruded, and the second child immediately smelled a strong fishy smell around him, and then, a cold female voice, with a biting cold, whispered to his ear like a lover's whisper: "Stay......"

The second child was frightened and panicked, his brain was a mess, and when the cold air around his body was approaching step by step, his left forearm suddenly hurt like a pinprick.

"Ahh The second child screamed in a low voice.

"Second brother?" The third child who was close to the second child hurriedly asked out loud.

Before the second child could answer, it was at this time that someone outside shouted: "Second child...... Third............ Xiao Zhihong...... Mo Xianhua ......"

Then a few flashlights came in, Hong Zhihong, he has always been more vicious, and he was more angry, he took the initiative to tear open his voice and roared: "We are here." Then he slapped the mute who was still shaving mud.

Several people hurriedly met the place where the flashlight was light, and after leaving the forest, they saw that it was already late at night when they couldn't reach their fingers, and they completely relied on the light of the flashlight to fill this boundless night.

It turned out that the family saw that they had not returned home at night, thinking that something had happened, and came out to look for someone worriedly, not wanting them to find no one even after almost climbing a mountain, Ning Zhiyuan had a bad premonition, and was worried about the safety of his two sons, he silently used the thumb of his left hand to quickly pinch back and forth between the rest of the knuckles.

Soon, I saw that his face was pale, and he frowned and asked someone to run home from the mountain, brought a white stork's rooster, and pulled it out from his chest pocket, and finally took out a piece of rune paper with yellow and red letters, lit it, and began to chant in his mouth: "Heaven and earth are cheerful, the four are normal, and the water dissolves the filth and dispels the ominous." ”

The paper money was flying, and when the rune paper was about to be burned, the rune paper was thrown into a bowl to melt the water, and then fed to the rooster, and everyone followed the rooster and walked away and shouted the names of the five people, and immediately heard someone in the forest answer.

Here, just out of the forest, he put one foot on the third leg and shouted: "Where is your second brother? ”

"Second brother?"

That night, everyone turned the whole corpse baby slope over, but no one ever saw the second child again.
