Chapter 24: The Mysterious Village
In Mayi Village, in a ravine, there is a winding stream in front of the village, flowing with clear water.
In terms of architectural style, the village should belong to the style of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, with double water ridges, blue brick courtyard walls, a pair of small lions standing in front of every house, a relatively wealthy family, a purple-red solid wood gate, a little poorer will have nothing, a rammed courtyard wall, and a gate gate bound by dry firewood.
What makes us strange is that there is no one in the village, and all the gates are closed, and we can't figure it out.
At this time, the two children began to quarrel.
"Xiao Ting, eldest brother, they saw me first, so they must go to my house, my family has meat, do you have it? Hmph"
"Xiao Yu, why are you unreasonable every time, obviously the big brother hugged me first, you have to rob me, I won't play with you in the future"
It turned out that the boy's name was Xiao Yu and the girl's name was Xiao Ting, I watched them bickering, it was very interesting, it reminded me of my childhood, Dazui and Gu Yi also watched the two children not let each other go.
"Xiao Ting, your house is haunted every day, you are embarrassed to bring people home, I'll puff you"
"I ...... Xiao Yu, don't talk nonsense, otherwise I'll sue my mother, saying that you beat me again, let my mother hack you to death with a knife, you wait, hum"
What's going on, why are the two children quarreling with the smell of gunpowder, I feel that something is wrong, looking at Xiao Ting, who has run away, chasing a few steps, but unfortunately not catching up, look at the big mouth, and then look at Gu Yi, they are also puzzled.
"Forget it, Xiao Yu, brothers and sisters go to your house to eat meat, your parents won't be angry, right?" I patted Xiao Yu's head and said seriously, I don't know what the child's family is like, and I don't know if it's appropriate to beg for mercy like this.
"Big brother, what is Mom and Dad? I have my father and mother at home, they can't see anything, you can rest assured, they listen to me very much. Look, the front is my house" Xiao Yu happily took Gu Yi's hand and left, I and Dazui cautiously followed, I always felt that this village was chattering, and I couldn't remember anything wrong for a while.
I'm confused, do I feel that there are no normal people in this village? Either they are deaf and dumb, or they use knives to cut people at every turn, what age is this, is it difficult that they don't understand the law?
When I opened the door of Xiao Yu's house, I had the urge to cry, this Nimana was meat, the primitive shriveled frogs and toads in the yard, and the molting snake, I regretted dying, tears were in full eyes, and then I looked at Gu Yi's little hand holding his chest and retching.
However, when we saw Xiao Yu with a serious face, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and push open the wooden door tied with wire.
There was a squeak, and all kinds of smells drilled into the nostrils at the same time, there were no windows in the house, and the lights were not turned on, it was pitch black, and then Gu Yi suddenly grabbed my hand and stopped leaving, to be honest, I don't want to go inside, is there a difference in this cemetery?
"Who? I'll hack you to death" Just when we didn't know what to do, suddenly a very harsh voice came, and at the same time, a figure flashed, and then the light when the door opened and closed, I was surprised to find that the black-clothed man was really carrying a bright knife in his hand.
I pushed Gu Yi behind me violently, and was about to kick it over, when Xiao Yu spoke.
"It's all dead, they're my friends, whoever dares to move, be careful that I die to show you, get outside and bask in the sun, hurry up"
Sure enough, Xiao Yu's tender voice roared, and two black shadows flashed in front of us one after another, running outside, although the person went out, but the stench remained.
Rao is big mouth is bold, and at this time his heart is furious, he lowered his head and whispered to me: "Lao Cui, I think we don't eat this meat, or let's run, ah" When the big mouth was at the end, his voice was very long, as if he was frightened.
Sure enough, I saw that Big Mouth was carrying a bone in his hand, and when he looked at it by the rays of light, it turned out to be a human leg bone. Big Mouth cursed a few bad words, and threw the bone stick back on the ground.
"Big brother, this is what I picked up outside, if you like it, I can give it to you," Xiao Yu said heartily.
"No, the gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, you can keep it for yourself," said the big mouth tremblingly.
This is Xiao Yu's home, from the time I entered the door to the present, there is nothing that does not make people sweat, but at this time my curiosity has overcome everything, the more I feel that this trip is not in vain, this village has a lot of origins, including its courtyard layout and house orientation, are set according to a certain direction.
"Xiao Yu, don't you have a light at home?" I bent down and said to Xiao Yu.
"Big brother, few people in our village use lights, whatever you want, I'll show you, I can see it, if you're hungry, I'll go get some meat to eat now"
It's getting more and more outrageous, is there really a night vision eye in the world? Just as I was pondering, I saw that Xiao Yu was about to go out, and I hurriedly stopped him.
"Xiao Yu, brothers and sisters are not hungry, you should keep the meat and eat it, thank you"
"Xiao Yu, my sister asked you something, why is there no one in the village, they all went there?"
"In the village, no one dares to go out, whoever goes out will be tied up to worship the river ancestor, that place is fun, sister, I'll take you over to play."
"I ......" Gu Yi was about to refuse when I suddenly interrupted her.
I continued, "Really? How about you take us over and the big brother rewards you with another cookie? Are we in front of us now? ”
At this time, the novel said excitedly: "It's better to be a big brother, I don't want that fat brother, I know how to scare people, he will definitely be haunted by the river god tonight, hum!" But big brother, I'm afraid we won't be able to go today, because my house is still far from the festival ground, and we will go there early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Xiao Yu jumped inside, as if there was no darkness and day in his eyes, and after a while, Xiao Yu turned back and took my hand and walked inside.
"Big brother, this is your home, you can rest at night, just call me if there is anything" Xiao Yu retreated after speaking.
At this time, the big mouth turned on the flashlight, and we could finally see the situation in the house, there were a few animal skins on the earthen kang, and there were several animal skulls hanging on the walls made of mud, this was nothing, mainly underground, I don't know if it was an illusion or a real one, it felt like a bottomless pit in the ground, the flashlight shone through, there was no brightness, it was still dark, but it was very smooth.
A simple look at the situation in the room, that's all, if we change places, maybe we will go out for a walk, after all, it's only five o'clock now, but in Mayi Village, I think it's better not to go out, not why, I feel that this village is very evil.
Big Mouth and Gu Yi agreed with us, so we put the tools we had with us, and each found its own place and climbed up the kang.
Although I am not very sleepy, I will go to sleep, I really have nothing to do, I can't turn on the flashlight and drink, and now I hope that the day will soon light up, so that I can see the altar.
