Chapter 14: Dead Man? Living?
I can't be wrong about the fact that I saw this person with my own eyes, but Biluo said that there was no such person in the village, and I think there are two possibilities.
First, Jin Se didn't tell me his real name, so Biluo said that there was no such person in the village.
Second, Biluo lied, she didn't want me to know that there was a Jinse in the village.
I felt that the first possibility would be greater, but Jin Se was in the village but didn't tell me her real name, mostly because she didn't want anyone else to know about it, so I thought about it and didn't continue to ask, but Biluo looked at me and said with a smile.
"How did you remember to inquire about such a person?"
I thought about it and said.
"Because I heard that she used to be here and then disappeared, so I'm a little curious."
I wanted to see how Biluo would react when I said this, and as a result, Biluo said calmly.
"This village is indeed unusual, it is a cursed village, so even some rumors are not surprising, because the real situation may be even more terrible than the rumors."
To be honest, I really didn't expect Biluo to be so direct, I thought she would hide it.
So, I sat down across from her and asked while helping her make river lanterns.
"Village Chief Biluo, I want to ask you something, I want to leave here, do you know any way?"
As if knowing that I would ask this question, Biluo did not stop in his hand, sighed and said.
"I knew you would ask that, I've been asked countless times, but I really don't know about it, I just told you, this village is a cursed village, there are fog and yin soldiers during the day, and we can't get out, and at night we ......"
As she spoke, she leaned into my ear and lowered her voice.
"There are ghosts at night."
Before I could react, she continued.
"Also, I have a feeling that some of the people in our village may be ghosts."
I was a little surprised by her words, and then I asked, puzzled.
"Then why don't you get out of here?"
Biluo said with a sigh.
"Who wouldn't want to, but as long as you leave the village, you will definitely die within a year, so we don't dare to leave here, but you don't have to worry too much, as long as the 'ghost moon' passes, the Yin soldiers will disappear, and you can leave."
Her last sentence finally made me breathe a sigh of relief, although today is only the fifteenth day of July, and there is still half a month before the end of the ghost month, but at least there is one hope.
So, I thought about it and asked again.
"Does anyone come to the village every year?"
Biluo said with a sigh.
"Hey, yes, let's be honest, there aren't many people who can leave, there are very evil sects here, there is no electricity, and there is no contact with the outside world, and the last dead people will have no bones, basically no traces, in fact, we are also very helpless, because whether you come or go, it is not something we can say."
After speaking, Biluo looked into my eyes and said.
"Whether it is dead or alive is all in the hearts of people."
I nodded mechanically, I sensed that there seemed to be some deep meaning in her words, to be honest, I didn't pay much attention to many things before, and I didn't think much about it, because I had always hoped to escape from this hellish place, but, after four attempts, I realized that I was a little too naïve.
Since it was difficult to leave, then I had to think carefully about everyone, everything, and every detail I met, at least not to let myself die here easily.
So, I looked at Biluo and asked.
"As for the rules here, if they are followed, is it safe for girls?"
Biluo didn't answer directly, but looked at me and said.
"As I just said, we people are also like you, we are in it, we don't know the true face of Lushan, and we don't know what the truth is, because we are also part of the curse, we just see a little more, or that sentence, whether it is dead or alive, it is all in the hearts of people."
I chatted with Biluo for a while, and when I saw that Biluo really didn't seem to know what the details were, of course, it might be that she didn't want to tell me, and there would be no result if I talked again, so I stood up.
However, Biluo stopped me and said with a smile.
"This is the material for making lotus river lanterns, the so-called 'one thought and one purity, the heart is lotus blossom', there is time to make some river lanterns, there are benefits."
Since she said so, I nodded and took some materials to make the lantern.
After that, I didn't go back to my place of residence, because there was no point in going back, and I felt that it would be better to go around the village, and maybe there would be something to gain.
I wandered aimlessly around the village like this, hoping to see other acquaintances, among the eight of us, Situ Xiaozhu and I have been together, Sisi, the group leader, He Mingrui, Qianxue and Fan Yong I have all seen, and now there is only one person left I have not seen since I entered this village, I think maybe I can meet him.
I've been thinking about the question in my head, is Jinse a human or a ghost? I don't have an answer, all I know is that she must have been in the village and had helped me more than once.
And that Qianxue, is she really kind enough to remind me? Is there really a way for her to get out of here? Or is she a ghost, just like the one shown in the photo?
Judging from the current information, Qianxue and Jinse are people who can't be photographed by mobile phones, and the other person who can't be photographed is Sisi, I felt that they were all ghosts at the time, but later Sisi could be photographed again, and there were shadows, everything was normal, which made me a little confused.
In addition, I also noticed one thing, I always felt that someone was staring at me from behind, but when I turned around sharply, there was nothing behind me, and the feeling of being stared at disappeared, but after a while, this feeling came again, and it was very clear, and it couldn't get rid of it.
"This village is too wicked!"
I muttered while wiping a handful of cold sweat from my forehead, but at this time, I suddenly saw a person, a person I couldn't think of, Fan Yong.
It was Fan Yong, who had just given me a knife with half a piece of scissors, and at the moment he was sitting under a poplar tree in a yard, drenched.
Seeing this scene, I remembered the sentence "Don't plant mulberries in the front, don't plant willows in the back, and don't plant ghosts in the courtyard to clap your hands", "ghost clapping hands" refers to poplars, because when the wind blows, it will make a "whooshing" sound, which is an extremely unlucky thing.
However, now I can't care about this, I thought about it for a while, and then cautiously walked into the yard and walked cautiously towards Fan Yong, I was a little worried that he would suddenly jump up and kill me.
But he didn't do that, he just sat there quietly, as if the old monk had settled down, his eyes closed, and the water "ticked" from his body to the ground.
"'Rice Bucket Warrior', 'Rice Bucket Warrior'......"
I whispered to him, "Bucket Warrior" was his in-game name, but he didn't react at all.
I swallowed and felt that something was wrong, that he was a little too quiet.
An ordinary person, even if he is asleep, should be able to breathe, and there will be a slight rise and fall in his chest, but Fan Yong has no signs of life at all, whether it is his fingers or any part of his body, there is not the slightest movement, this is really evil.
I gritted my teeth and walked boldly to Fan Yong's side, and then reached out to probe his snort, no breathing, I touched the artery in his neck again, and there was no pulse, in fact, I could know his condition without touching the pulse, because his skin was very cold.
"Dead!"
I withdrew my hand in some shock, and then quickly escaped from the courtyard, standing in the doorway gasping for breath.
To be honest, growing up so big, it's the first time I've been in such close contact with a human corpse, I've seen it in TV movies before, and people who haven't experienced it may not be easy to understand this fear, but when you see a cold corpse right in front of you, the feeling is really penetrating and indescribable.
However, at this time, I suddenly heard someone in the courtyard say.
"Ye Yu, why are you here?"
It was Temo's Fan Yong's voice, I looked up sharply, and saw Fan Yong standing up and looking at me with a smile and walking towards me.
"Holy!"
I almost fell to my knees with a limp, and then I turned and ran without thinking about it.
