"Help, help," a frightened figure stumbled toward us from the depths of the swamp.

She opened her mouth wide in fear and breathed hard, her eyes wide open and her pupils condensed into a black dot.

The desperate and covered eyes are still vivid, how eager she is to live, not to mention that she still looks like an underage girl.

It was a place where the moonlight could not shine, cold and dark, full of blood and carnage.

Her white neck was bleeding, and there was blood all around her breasts.

I wanted to save someone, but Peng Long held me down, because the next moment suddenly the girl stiffened in place.

His eyes were staring straight at me, and they were full of unwillingness and fear rushing towards me, and her heaving chest was quiet at this moment.

A pair of sickle-like blue-gray hands were placed on the girl's shoulders, and the next moment the girl's entire body was dragged into the darkness.

"Fuck," a burst of anger erupted in my chest, and at that moment I didn't feel like myself.

After many years, I thought back to why I was like that, and finally understood the reason, and my grandmother was like this before she was burned to ashes, and I was not only angry, but also self-blamed.

My grandmother used to tell me when I was a child that with great power comes great responsibility, and I didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence until I experienced too many things that I shouldn't have experienced.

Peng Long asked me not to be impulsive, because if I went in rashly, I would be sent to death.

I said there might be people in there, no, I can't just leave it at that.

I touched the ghost spell on my neck and wanted to communicate with it, hoping it would help me, but I don't know why it seemed to be asleep for a while now, and no matter how I communicated with it, it ignored me.

Gao Lengnan said that there are too many things here that are a mystery, let's go back first, don't startle the snake.

With that, he turned to leave, and I looked back into the depths of the swamp, and I always felt that it had not left, but had been watching us.

I sighed and had no choice but to go back.

Back in the hoard, we still didn't think anything had happened, and there was crying outside just after dawn.

We heard the sound and walked out, and saw a crowd of people gathered together, and I walked over to see a beautiful woman in the crowd kneeling on the ground and crying.

I asked Daddy what the reason was, and he sighed and said that the child was gone at night.

The beautiful woman cried and said, "Damn the mountain god, I'll fight with you." ”

Everyone stopped her, for fear that she would do something out of the ordinary.

Daddy saw the angry scolding and nonsense, is the mountain god a woman you are insulting casually, bring her back to me, something embarrassing.

At this time, I noticed a girl standing in the distance, wasn't this the same girl who was washing clothes in front of her house yesterday and saw us shyly?

She looked pale at the beautiful woman on the ground and was carried away by a group of men, her pure eyes were full of fear, and when she saw me looking at her, she fled in a panic.

Daddy saw me looking at the girl and said, "The girl doll's mother died of illness a few years ago, and now everyone is helping her live, and she is also a cute baby." ”

I said, Daddy, if there is anything we can do to help you, please don't be kind, can you tell us about the mountain gods?

Seeing that I was serious, Daddy sighed first and said, "Okay, you have to know that I can tell you, but ...... Remember, you can't tell anyone outside. ”

"It's natural."

On the way home, Daddy told us, the approximate meaning is that this mountain god is their hoarding protector, thinking that in 42 years Chiang Kai-shek hit small Japan, Henan lost and encountered a great drought, and the whole Henan was greatly affected and many people died.

But only they were safe, and there was once a small Japanese team of people who turned over the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountain, and found that there were still Chinese here, so they switched men, women, and children in the room.

All the strong men stabbed their hearts with bayonets, and the old ones tied up outside the hoards and stripped naked, watching them die, and the women did not escape their aggression.

Until one night, suddenly there was a roar of a wild beast from the mountain, and I heard my father say that it was a monster with a blue face and fangs that rushed down and bit little Japan to death, and finally it took a little Japan who fainted to death.

I thought of the pitted monster, but I didn't say much.

Daddy sighed when he said this, this is how the matter of the mountain god came, the people of that generation thought feudal, and there was a ritual in order to prevent the monster from going down the mountain again to hurt everyone.

What ritual do I say.

He was a little embarrassed, but finally said, "Send the virgin up the mountain and offer it to him." ”

I was stunned and did not speak, and he continued, "Since the protection of the mountain god, the whole hoard has survived safely, but every year the pure virgin must be sent there. ”

I said, "But where did so many virgins come from, and there are not many of them?"

"So to this day, we have an unwritten rule that we can't touch the women in the tun, and most of them go outside to have fun, but now everyone doesn't believe in these very much, and there are still wives and children in the tun."

Grandma is the one who hoarded it.

But this strange custom has been deeply rooted in everyone's bone marrow, and it can be said that I understand why the tour guide said that he couldn't touch the women here and go to the back mountain.

I said, Daddy, haven't you thought about letting the state help, what kind of society is it now?

Daddy said that it doesn't matter if he reports to the police or not, after all, this custom was broken as early as thirty years ago, and he never gave any virgins again, but ......

Speaking of this, Daddy's face became solemn, I don't know why in recent times, people have disappeared frequently, and even implicated a lot of outsiders, I think about the unity of everyone, see if you can find it, but where to find it.

What about the back mountain, I said?

His face was stunned, and he quickly shook his head and said, "You must not go to the back mountain, even if we don't dare to go too deep." ”

I didn't tell him that yesterday we found a native with a torch in the back mountain, and not only did he go, but he probably knew that there was a so-called mountain god in the pit.

This matter is much more complicated than I thought, there is a person hiding somewhere in this village, and he went to the back mountain, and more than once or twice.

But what was his purpose in doing so?

I was a little irritable, sitting alone outside the hoard and smoking silently, at first I didn't notice that anyone was looking at me, and when I turned around, I only saw a smiling young man looking at me.

"You've gone to the back mountain, right?" he said silly.

I was wary and asked him, "How do you know?" ”

He said that anyone who goes to the back mountain will be cursed, and you can't get out.

I asked why.

He said that the mountain god would come to you, and when he mentioned the word mountain god, there was a sudden look on his face, which was clearly fear rather than awe.

I was about to ask when, when suddenly an old man rushed over and kicked the young man to the ground, scolding as he beat him, "You don't want to live, you turtle grandson." ”

The young man crawled on the ground and did not resist, and when he saw that I was smirking, I realized that he might be a fool.

The old man pushed the young man and kicked and cursed as he left.

"Curse!" I kept thinking about these two words, and just as I was about to leave, suddenly a voice came from the left, and it turned out to be the shy girl.

She said, "You shouldn't go to the back mountain." ”

I walked over, and she was a little shy, and I said do you know something.

She said that the back mountain is a forbidden place, and no one can go, because if you go, you will die, but the fool can not die, and everyone says that he is the servant of the mountain god, so he said that whoever is cursed will have to ......

"Girl, don't talk nonsense here," suddenly Daddy came over when he heard the voice, Daddy gave me the impression that he was kind and amiable, but now he seemed to be a different person, and rushed over to give the girl a slap on the spot.

I hurried to stop it, but the girl didn't speak, and she came running with a pale face as if she had done something wrong.

Daddy looked at me with a gloomy face and said, "It's not safe here, you can go back tomorrow." ”

I just nodded and said thank you for your hospitality over the past two days.

At this moment, I felt closer and closer to the truth.

The mountain gods, the curses, the offerings, the customs, and the natives who disappeared in the back mountains.

At this moment I seemed to understand something, pulled out a cigarette and lit it, and I decided to prove it.
