Chapter 45: The Mystery of the Dead
Everyone didn't have time to think about what was crawling out of the pit, and they all scattered and fled. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info I really listened to my grandmother's words, this said to run, run to the four directions of the southeast, northwest and play. But where is there anyone in that pit, what can I do if he has already fainted?
Only Grandma, Grandma, I, the village chief, the second son's father, Xiao Wu, and the three messengers were there, so we had to use our strength to save the people in the pit. Just after Grandma mended the incense, the one that climbed up was like touching the power grid, and suddenly fell into the grave with a plop.
I looked closer, and it turned out that the thing had touched the spit encirclement that the boys had just spitted on. I really didn't expect this spit encirclement to be so powerful, the thing was still going to crawl out of the pit in an attacking shape, but now it shrank back all of a sudden, and the incense in front of the grave was rekindled.
At this time, Grandma Tai's "floating" knife was already in her hand, and the second son's father and the village chief were also holding shovels in their hands.
I was in the middle of my grandmother and grandma, and I was already dumbfounded, and the scene just now made me unable to come back to my senses for a while. It was a few messengers who reminded us to go and save the people in the pit, so it occurred to everyone that they should continue to act.
This time they all came lightly to the edge of the pit, and they all looked carefully into the pit. It was found that only the villager who had fainted was at the bottom of the pit, and there was nothing else inside.
"That's weird, where did that thing that crawled out just now go?" I asked my grandmother vigorously.
Grandma also felt strange, under normal circumstances, once the things in the grave were deceived or demons, they were all tangible, even if they were capable, they would not be invisible. But it's obviously a terrifying thing, why is it that the kung fu is gone after a while?
"Don't be stunned, let's go and save people!" It is still the village chief's high consciousness, and his words brought everyone's thinking back to reality. So the village chief, the father of the second son and Xiao Wu jumped into the grave, ready to rescue the villager who had fainted.
But when the three men lifted the man up and prepared to carry him up the pit, they were surprised to find that a grimace appeared on the ground under the villager's body.
At this time, there is still leisure to think about this, and it is enough to be heartfelt. Finally the villager was carried up to the pit, and the messengers finally woke the man up by pinching and rubbing his back, but the man woke up and rolled on the ground in pain for a while, and people found that his feet and neck had been scratched by the thing, and he was still bleeding. So everyone hurried to find a hemostatic medicine to give him, and after a while, the villager really woke up.
Seeing that he was more conscious, Grandma Tai asked him what he saw inside? Where did that thing go?
"As I ran slowly, I saw a snow-white hand come out from under the coffin, and it grabbed my feet and neck, and the force was not comparable to the strength of men, and I could not move at all. When everyone had run away, and the thing looked at me, I saw that it was dressed in a gray robe and a hat, like an ancient man, and that face was the face of a corpse with green faces and fangs, and I was scared to death. The man shuddered.
"And then, didn't you see where that thing went?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Later, I dimly saw that it had not climbed up, and as if frightened by something, I turned an inkstone at the bottom of the pit, and a low door appeared at the bottom of the pit, and it went into it." The man made things clear in fits and starts.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and they all understand, it turns out that this tomb is an illusion, and the coffin is also an ornament, and the bottom of this coffin is the real thing.
Grandma looked at the sky, then at the compass pointer that was still pointing downward, and began a new assignment. Grandma Tai asked two of the messengers to take the injured villager back to Zhong Ling and Hua Ying in the north of the village, after all, it was two people leading the team, so they could take care of the injured villager, and then go to two directions to call back the person who had just run away. The remaining messenger chased down with Grandma, Grandma, me, the village chief, and the father of the second son all the way to find the nest of that thing, so that the cause of the second son's illness could be completely found and the second son could be saved.
The two messengers said goodbye to everyone, and took the injured villagers to the north of the village, leaving aside for the time being, and said that the other way, and a few of us gathered around Lin Xiucai's grave to study the next move.
Xiao Wu said: "Let's chase down, but we want to see where that thing is hiding." "After all, it's a young man, and he just has a lot of energy.
"Xiao Wu is right, but I don't want everyone to get hurt for the sake of the second son, grandma, let's withdraw, our family doesn't want to affect the whole village!" The father of the second son squatted on the ground and made such a choice with difficulty.
"Uncle, you will see the outside world when you say this, it has come to this point, everyone has gone through so many hardships, how can you give up halfway, and besides, these things are also for the good of the whole village in the future." Grandma stepped forward to comfort the second son's father.
So everyone's eyes looked at Grandma Tai again. Just wait for Grandma Tai to speak.
"Aunt A is right, if we want to save the second son, we must save it to the end, and we must also get rid of these demons and monsters around our village, this is a major event in the village!" Grandma said to everyone categorically.
"Yes, just, just, just listen to grandma, let's, let's, we must catch that thing, pour, pour, see what it does!" The village chief also had a straight face at this time, and his voice trembled because of excitement.
"In this case, let's go down the pit all the way down first, leave Kuroko and the other dog on the ground, and wait for the others to come, and then we will dig the grave of the little moth together." Grandma made a short-term plan.
"Our formation should keep a certain distance after going down the pit, or the little five pioneers, I am behind him, the second son is behind me, the village chief is behind the second son, and Aunt A takes Liangzi and a messenger at the back, if it's okay, keep chasing, if there is an accident, the back team will change to the front team, and run back quickly." After Grandma finished speaking, she motioned for everyone to pack up their things and go down to the pit together to chase the thing.
I looked up at the night sky, today because it is a full moon, so the night is particularly beautiful, if there is no this, some people in the village may sleep in the yard or on the roof, some can't sleep, they will smoke two puffs of cigarettes under the big tree, look at the moonlight, now it's good, the children have been sent to other villages, the old ones stay at home to protect the families, the prime of life has come to catch demons, and encountered so many strange things, it's enough to write a novel.
I didn't have time to think about it, I had already been hugged by my second son's father. After we all came down, we started looking for the inkstone, as the injured villagers said.
As I said before, Lin Xiucai's tomb did not have too many things, but in the coffin there were two stacks of books before and after, there were four treasures of the study, no, it was the three treasures of the study, and later the coffin was brought to find that there was only pen, ink, and paper, and there was no inkstone alone, but the injured villagers said that the thing was a low door that appeared after turning the inkstone, indicating that there was an inkstone in the grave. So they searched for it in this pit.
Soon, Xiao Wu found the round inkstone on one corner of the pit, which looked actually quite inconspicuous, especially when it was stuck with the soil, if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't tell it.
Xiao Wu was about to get the inkstone, but he didn't move it.
"It's turning, not taking!" I reminded my fifth uncle.
"Yes, it's turning, look at my brain!" The fifth uncle smiled.
Xiao Wu gently began to turn the inkstone, and everyone was tense, observing the changes in the grave.
As the inkstone was rotated, I saw that a big hole suddenly appeared next to the inkstone, and if you look closely, it is really a low door, but it can only allow one person to squat into it.
The low door was opened, and everyone looked at each other for a while, but they didn't say anything, just according to the formation mentioned before, Xiao Wu began to rush in.
One by one, we crouched down and slipped through the low door. Of course, I don't have to squat all the time, after all, it's a child, it's a lot easier, but the second son's father is different, some of the cards are committed, or the village chief pushed him, and he got in.
When my grandmother and the messenger and I went in, we found that although the door was small, it grew bigger and bigger, and then we were able to walk upright, and then the space became larger and larger, and we didn't believe that there was such a place underneath this, and where did this place lead?
We all kept a certain distance, but we were also within range of each other's front and back. The village chief has a flashlight, which is a thing in the village, and it can be regarded as a public item, at that time, the flashlight was a new thing, not every family had it, so people's living conditions at that time were still very monotonous, but this can deepen everyone's feelings more, without the interference of external objects, people's feelings can be maintained for a long time.
The village chief lit up the three people in front of him, while my grandmother and I walked forward step by step with the candles in her hands. Grandma put her arm around me, and I took my grandmother's hand to do the thing of subduing demons and catching ghosts in this secret passage, which makes me think that it is really interesting, how many children in the world can join such a team?
The enclosed space was a little damp, and sometimes water dripped onto the wax core, causing a fluctuation, and the surrounding walls would be scattered with the shadow of wax beads.
My grandmother and I were walking forward step by step. The village chief in front of me stopped, and my grandmother and I also stopped, my heart was in my throat, and my heart said what if that scary thing appeared in this secret passage, what would I do, and could my grandmother cure it? Just when I was worried about this, there was an "ah" sound in front of me.
