Chapter 142: Red Clothes: Catching Little Ghosts
Walking into the village, in order to match the thick black air in the sky, the whole village was filled with a sad atmosphere. Even for outsiders who suddenly broke into the village, not many people expressed curiosity.
To be reasonable, it is clear that the sun is shining a few hundred meters away from the village, but the village is covered with dark clouds. Everyone knows that there must be something strange here, but the people in the village still look sad in the village as if they didn't notice.
After Lei Chan and Anne stood stupidly at the entrance of the village for a long time, they suddenly realized that their behavior was very stupid. Anne couldn't help but pull Lei Chan's arm and said softly, "Lei Chan, let's go!" Something strange seems to be going on here, if we accidentally reveal our whereabouts..."
After thinking about it for a while, and confirming that no one in this village was willing to take care of him, and Anne's words were indeed correct, Lei Chan was about to shamelessly climb back on Anne's back, and then he was grabbed by a little ghost.
...
Ten minutes later, behind the rugged mountain road, there was a lonely small mountain house, outside which was only fenced off with a simple fence.
Looking helplessly at the little ghost who pulled themselves in, Lei Chan and Anne sat helplessly on the only bench in the room, and there was a steaming bowl of steaming ... Wild vegetable soup.
The name of the little ghost is Xu Ming, and the purpose of holding Lei Chan is very simple - ask for help!
According to Xu Ming, the mountain village is cursed. About three days ago, a man died in the village. According to the normal situation, at this time, people in the mountain villages should walk more than ten miles on foot, go to the nearest county seat to report the case, and then ask the public security to bring people over to check the situation.
In fact, after the village chief brought people to see the situation, it caused an uproar. Why? Because the death is so weird!
The deceased, a twelve-year-old boy, was found hanged in his house with a red skirt and a women's swimsuit. Strangely, there were no signs of anyone else in the room, and there was no sign of a struggle on the deceased's body, as if the deceased had climbed up and committed suicide on his own.
After the police intervened in the investigation, a very common explanation was given. is a transvestite teenager who commits sexual fetishes at home, because of the tragedy of sexual asphyxia as a result. If it weren't for the weirdness of the matter, almost everyone would have believed it. But as a police officer couldn't bear to whisper to the people in this village that the same thing had happened a few days ago in another mountain village not far away, and that the same little boy had died, the superstitious old man in the village couldn't sit still.
While the police were still investigating, the old man asked the young man in his family to go to the village that the police said. But when the young man returned, he brought bad news, it turned out that at the same time that the little boy in the village had died, another boy in that village had also died. The way of death was still exactly the same as before, and the time interval was exactly three days.
The village was filled not only with sadness, but also with a hint of fear. By the time the young man returned, many families with children had left the village overnight. On the other hand, the small mountain village who knew about the incident hurriedly inquired about the public security officers who were still staying in the village. But in the end, those people left after a perfunctory sentence to tell the people in the village not to panic.
There is no doubt that the perfunctory eyes and anxious tone alone are not convincing at all. There was a panic in the village for no reason, and almost everyone said that in three days, another little boy in the village would be strangely hanged again, as he had done before. They all said that the nearby mountain patrol lord was catching the boy, what did he do when he caught the boy? Captured as a slave, of course!
There are many superstitious people in the mountain villages, and this superstitious saying of pulling calves soon spread and spread. It was no surprise that the people in the village were scared. Just like another village where the same murder happened before. People with children at home invariably let their daughters-in-law take their children out to avoid them. When only a little boy was left in the village, there was already a strange aura in the whole village.
From the location of Xu Ming's family, it can be seen that his family's status in the village is not very good. According to the needs of the plot, Xu Ming's father may have run away with someone in his early years, or he may have died outside. All in all, Xu Ming's mother always refused to tell Xu Ming about his father's whereabouts.
What status can orphans and widows have in a poor and backward village? On weekdays, with the two acres of thin fields not far from the house, plus some government subsidies, Xu's mother barely pulled Xu Ming up. But the child finally grew up, but this kind of thing happened. Xu Ming's family already had no relatives, but Xu's mother knew that this was not a solution, so she asked Xu Ming to leave the house with the few money in the family and hide for a while.
It's a pity that the children of the poor are in charge early. Xu Ming, a good boy, knew that the little money he had saved at home was not easy, so he refused his mother's request without hesitation and stayed in the village. Until this day, two outsiders came to the village.
But after a few days of precipitation of the strange atmosphere, the whole village looked extremely strange and dull. Perhaps it was because Lei Chan was born with a shining light, and Xu Ming felt that this person could help him almost when he saw this outsider for the first time.
So there is the current situation.
Lei Chan hesitantly listened to Xu Ming's story about what happened in this mountain village, and only felt that his back molars had a terrible headache. Anne couldn't help but lean over and ask softly, "Lei Chan, do you know what this is all about?" ”
Glancing at the mother and son who were still looking at him hopefully, Lei Chanchong gave the two of them an apologetic look and pulled Anne to the door.
"What's wrong?" Anne was a little puzzled, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
Lei Chan hesitated, nodded and said, "I probably guessed a little, there are three possibilities." There are probably three kinds of witchcraft, Gu magic, and head lowering. There are always some mysterious spells in the East, but like this, it's hard to judge. If you look at it alone, it is not impossible to control the deceased with Gu magic and lowering the head, but it is a little unrealistic to ask the deceased to change into a women's swimsuit and put on a red skirt..."
Anne was surprised and asked, "Could it be some mysterious oriental sorcery?" ”
Lei Chan's brows furrowed deeply, and he turned his head to look at the mother and son who were still in the room, and finally said: "Catch the little ghost... Do you know? ”
