Chapter 3: Omen of Death
Under the moonlight, I saw the shadows cast by my and Situ Xiaozhu's bodies, but there was a clear difference between the two shadows, my shadow was normal, but Situ Xiaozhu's shadow was very faint, and the edges of the shadow were very unclear, but more like a thin smoke, compared to the two, it looked extremely weird.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
I was also frightened by the strange scene in front of me.
Situ Xiaozhu grabbed my hand and said in a trembling voice.
"I've heard people say that when people are about to die, there are some signs, and the fading shadow is one of them, and I ...... I'm probably going to die......"
I opened my mouth to persuade Situ Xiaozhu, for example, those words were hearsay, not to believe or anything, but, looking at the strange shadow, I didn't know what to say, because, her words reminded me of a post I saw on the Internet discussing the pre-death post, which did mention what Situ Xiaozhu said.
However, I was a little reluctant, so I thought about it and motioned for Situ Xiaozhu to change positions with me, maybe it might be the reason for the position.
However, after changing positions, my shadow is still normal, and her shadow is still very faint.
I had no choice but to say.
"It's too evil, take advantage of this opportunity, let's run quickly, it should be fine if we leave this village, don't you just say it, it's just a sign of death, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you will die, right?"
Situ Xiaozhu's face turned pale, and then followed me towards the woods on the side.
To tell the truth, when I walked into the woods again, I felt hairy, my heart was in my throat, and the dark clouds seemed to be against us, covering the moon in the sky again.
Situ Xiaozhu grabbed my hand, and I felt her palms sweaty.
The woods are overgrown with weeds, so every step I take makes a "bang-bang-bang" sound, which makes my emotions move along with it.
After walking about a few dozen meters away, just as I was breathing a sigh of relief, I suddenly heard a noise in front of me.
Situ Xiaozhu obviously heard it too, because her hand grabbed mine again, and the two of us stopped at the same time, and then a figure appeared from the darkness in front of me, this person had his hair scattered, and he was carrying a kitchen knife with a bright red color on it.
When I saw this, I immediately shuddered.
I want to leave, but it's not that simple.
This thing, who didn't know if it was a human or a ghost, didn't speak, so he slowly walked in front of us with a knife in his hand.
"You...... Who are you? ”
As I spoke, I dragged Situ Xiaozhu to pull off the stance, ready to run at any time.
At this time, this guy with his head down suddenly raised his head and looked at the two of us and said.
"Go back quickly, there is still a way to live......"
This voice is extremely familiar, it is Sisi, and, because the distance has become closer, I also saw this person's face, and it is indeed Sisi, but at this moment, the corners of her mouth, eyes, and nose are all bloodstains, which looks extremely infiltrating......
"Mom!"
Situ Xiaozhu screamed in fright, and at the same time, the kitchen knife in Sisi's hand was also raised.
"Go back...... Go back...... Go back ......."
She said viciously one after another.
I grabbed Situ Xiaozhu's arm in fright and ran back.
Luckily, we didn't go far into the woods, and soon the two of us were back to the edge of the village, and Sisi didn't chase after us.
"It looks like I can't go."
Situ Xiaozhu and I leaned against the wall together, panting and said.
Situ Xiaozhu nodded, and then collapsed to the ground, there were too many frightens this night.
"I ...... Am I really going to die? ”
She muttered to herself and began to cry.
I quickly crouched down and grabbed her hand and said.
"No, I won't let you die, don't worry, as long as it's dawn tomorrow, we'll leave this village as soon as it's dawn......"
But is it really that simple? I don't have any bottom in my heart.
What happened that night was so weird that my back was cold and I was already wet with cold sweat.
In addition, I suddenly thought of one thing, why didn't Sisi just now look like a drowned ghost? If she died because she violated the taboo of fishing for river lanterns, then the appearance of the drowned ghost last time was right, then what happened to Sisi with a kitchen knife this time?
Another point is that the previous drowned ghost Sisi was silent when it appeared, but this time Sisi appeared with a lot of movement, which was completely different from the previous one.
Could it be that this Sisi is someone else? How many Sisi are there?
I muttered to myself with a little headache, then thought about it and said.
"I don't know where the others are, let's go find someone else, we can have a companion."
The eight people we came together, Sisi now I don't know if it's a person or a ghost, I must stay away from her, the group owner has just been with Sisi, it's hard to say whether it's a person or a ghost at the moment, in addition to them, there are four people, at this time I thought of the phrase that there are many people, of course, if there is a chance, I also want to ask the group owner if Sisi has left just now, Sisi is too weird.
Hearing my words, Situ Xiaozhu wiped his tears and nodded.
Then we started looking around the village.
However, it is a pity that we could not find anyone including the group leader, although this village is not large, but there are more than 100 families, many of them are dark, and we dare not knock on the door easily, in fact, even the house with the light on, we dare not approach easily.
Now we are like frightened birds.
"Hey! Forget it. ”
In the end, Situ Xiaozhu gave up, and she looked at me and said.
"Let's go, or let's find a place to stay overnight and wait for dawn."
I also knew that there was no point in looking for it like this, so I nodded, and then the two of us returned to the door of a courtyard, and there was a red belly pocket hanging on the gate of this courtyard, and the pattern on it was the same as the one in my hand, which should be one of the houses that Biluo prepared for us.
When I opened the door, I saw that the yard was overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time, but I thought about it, how could a house be used to accommodate outsiders if it was inhabited.
After entering, the inside of the house is very clean, but there is no electricity here, and the house is dark.
Situ Xiaozhu followed me step by step, obviously frightened.
"There's a candle here, let's just light it."
I adjusted to the darkness of the room, then picked up the matches on the table and said.
The candles were very thick red candles, there were two of them, I lit them both, and sure enough, it was very bright, and the room was suddenly not so gloomy, but I still felt that it was very cold in this house, very unusually cold.
However, people are like that, and places like houses and quilts give people an inexplicable sense of security, so even though I don't think it's normal, I don't want to go out anymore.
The house is not big, there are two rooms, there are beds, cabinets, tables and chairs, and furniture, but all the furniture looks very old.
"Xiao ......, come, give me the bag, and I'll go and light the candles in the house."
I didn't dare to say Situ Xiaozhu's name, because, the phone is gone, and I don't know if it will be now, anyway, it's better to be careful in everything.
Situ Xiaozhu glanced at the dark bedroom, then nodded and handed me the bag.
I walked into the bedroom with my bag and matches.
After lighting the candle, I looked at Situ Xiaozhu's bag, her bag was a bit heavy to carry, I guess there should be water in it, I didn't drink water in the afternoon and evening, the "epiphany wine" was poured by us again, and now my mouth is dry.
So, I opened Situ Xiaozhu's bag and rummaged through it.
However, immediately after that, I was stunned, and my heart was beating wildly at the same time, because I saw the power bank in the bag, the eight power banks put together.
"This ...... What exactly does this Nima mean? ”
I instantly felt a chill down my spine.
Didn't Situ Xiaozhu just say that her power bank was gone? How could it all be with her?
"I thought it was the conspiracy of the group leader at first, but then I thought it was Sisi who had a problem, but I didn't expect it to be Situ Xiaozhu who was doing ghosts...... She's the one who stole the power bank...... No wonder she wouldn't let me open her bag before, it turned out to be like this. ”
I was thinking quickly in my heart, and at this time, Situ Xiaozhu's voice suddenly came.
"Is there a problem inside?"
Then, I heard footsteps, and I quickly pulled the bag back in fright, and then said quickly.
"No problem, it's pretty clean inside."
I tried my best to calm down my voice, so that Situ Xiaozhu could hear the problem, because I suddenly remembered that although this outing was organized by the group leader, if it wasn't for Situ Xiaozhu telling me, I wouldn't have known about it, let alone followed her to this ghost place.
However, if the problem is Situ Xiaozhu, then why should she deal with us? What about her shadow? How to explain the strange things that happened to Sisi?
I feel like my head is getting a little bigger.
At this time, Situ Xiaozhu had already walked in, she walked very close to me, so close that I almost touched the tip of her nose, and I could even feel his breathing and heartbeat, and then she looked into my eyes and said.
"Thank you so much tonight, if it weren't for you, I would have gone crazy."
I thought to myself, I'm crazy, but at this time, I found something, something that made my body feel cold, I found that I couldn't see my own shadow in Situ Xiaozhu's pupils, which reminded me of that post about death again, one of the signs of death is that I can't see my own shadow from other people's pupils (if you are interested, you can try it immediately).
"I ...... Am I going to die too? ”
I muttered to myself in some horror.
By the way, the mirror, I suddenly remembered the first taboo that Biluo said, don't touch any mirror, and don't look at the mirror, and isn't the pupil a mirror?
Did she mean she didn't want us to find out that we were going to die? Or is it that mirrors, like cameras, can distinguish ghosts? And I'm the ghost?
I want to leave this place!
At this moment, I suddenly saw a dark figure suddenly flash through the window in front of me, this figure was hunched over like an old man.
