This voice made me feel a little strangely familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.

For a moment, my whole body tensed, and my eyes were fixed on the door of the hall, without blinking.

After thinking about the clucking toad, there was silence outside, and even the sound of the wind seemed to disappear, and time stopped flowing. I had a vague feeling that something else must have appeared in the courtyard outside, and that thing was now confronting the thing in front of the gate.

At this moment, I suddenly thought of the situation when I met my second uncle in the middle of the night. At that time, I seemed to hear a clucking toad in the pigsty, and then the second uncle came out from under the eaves of the pigsty......

Inexplicably, I felt a chill all over my body, and I didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

At this moment, the terrifying and cold squeak outside the door sounded again, with a bit of demonstration and anxiety. The sound sounded, and the clucking toad in the yard followed suit, without backing down. After a while, I heard a sudden thud in the courtyard, a squeaky and cold scream that resounded throughout the courtyard in an instant, and then suddenly disappeared, and gradually disappeared with the sound of the rustling wind.

After a moment of silence, there were two low clucking toad cries in the courtyard, as smooth and calm as before.

After a gust of night wind, there was silence again.

The chill that had permeated the air slowly faded, and the icy pressure that had caused the air to freeze just now dissipated. After a while, I felt that the crisis outside had been lifted, and I slowly exhaled a breath, but I couldn't say anything for a while. After standing in a daze for a while, I walked to the door of the house next to me, knocked on the door gently, and said, "Erniang, little sister, it's okay." ”

The room sounded the voice of the little sister who was softly surprised, and then I heard a footstep in the house, walked to the door, paused, and slowly opened the door. After the door opened, I saw Erniang and Xiaomei in the room looking at me with pale faces, stunned and speechless. I took a light breath and said, "That thing out there is gone, it's all right." ”

Hearing my words, Erniang and Xiaomei's tense faces eased a little.

"Xiao Yu, are you okay?" Erniang looked at me and asked with concern.

I shook my head and said, "Erniang, I'm fine." ”

"Brother, what was the sound outside just now, it seemed to be a mouse and a toad screaming, it scared me to death." My little sister took my hand and said with palpitations.

I didn't know what was just outside the door, and I didn't know how to answer, so I just gently touched her head as a comfort.

"By the way, why didn't your second uncle get up?" Erniang suddenly asked.

"The second uncle is not in the house." I'll tell you the truth.

There is tobacco growing at home, and someone needs to add coal to the flue-cured tobacco room at night, so the second uncle sometimes sleeps on a simple board bed next to the flue-cured tobacco room for convenience. Now the second uncle is not in the house, it should be there in the flue-cured tobacco room.

Erniang also thought about it, was taken aback, and said worriedly: "He shouldn't have an accident." ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "Erniang, little sister, you stay in the house, and I'll go outside to take a look at the second uncle." ”

I feel like the danger out there has been lifted, but who knows if that thing will go back and go? Now if I let Erniang and Xiaomei go out, I really don't feel at ease.

The little sister said: "Brother, let's accompany you, the three of them can take care of it." ”

"No need," I shook my head and said, "You and Erniang stay to take care of Zhao Yu'er, I'll go and see and come back, soon." ”

Xiaomei wanted to say something, but Erniang stopped her, looked at me, and instructed: "Xiaoyu, be careful yourself." ”

I nodded, asked Erniang to close the door, and then walked back to the door of the hall, and after taking a deep breath, I opened the door. All of a sudden, a cool night breeze blew in my face, making me feel excited. The night outside was quiet, the silver starlight was shining quietly, the night breeze was blowing slowly, and everything seemed so peaceful, as if nothing had happened just now.

I walked into the yard, and by the starlight, I saw that the grass on the ground of the yard was scorched and yellowed, and I couldn't help but be shocked. Immediately, a little dark glazed pottery light in the grass instantly caught my attention. I crouched down and pulled it closely, and it was a ceramic cigarette bottle that was shining. This kind of smoke bottle has an ancient shape, and it is often used by the elderly in rural areas when they smoke clay cigarettes. I remember that the second uncle also had one, but why did it fall here?

But I didn't think much of it, picked up the cigarette bottle and put it in my pocket, and walked to the flue-cured tobacco room near the back of the house. Walking to the side of the flue-cured tobacco room, I heard the second uncle's snoring, and it seemed that I was sleeping soundly.

"Didn't such a big movement just now wake up the second uncle?" I thought to myself, and when I got closer, I found that my second uncle was sleeping on the improvised bed, snoring.

"Second Uncle," I nudged Second Uncle and called, "Wake up." ”

After pushing several times, the second uncle woke up, rubbed his eyes in confusion and looked at me and asked, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" ”

"Something's wrong." I said it bluntly.

The second uncle was taken aback and said, "What did you say?" ”

I watched his expression carefully, and found that his reaction did not seem to be pretending at all, and I was a little suspicious. But I didn't think much about it, and immediately told him a brief about Zhao Yuer. The second uncle was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, and said, "Take me to see it." ”

He put on his slippers and immediately walked with me to the front room. I followed behind the second uncle, and I felt that the second uncle was very cool, like an air conditioner, and even a little chilly. My mood became very complicated, I didn't dare to think about anything, just quietly followed.

After walking for a while, I finally couldn't help it, and suddenly stopped the second uncle, took out the ceramic cigarette bottle in my pocket, and said, "Second uncle, this is what I picked up in the yard just now, isn't it yours?" ”

The second uncle was taken aback and said, "It's mine." Then he suddenly realized: "It turned out that it fell in the yard, and I searched for it in the house for a long time." So saying, he took the cigarette bottle, put it in his pocket, turned and walked on.

As we walked to the front of the gate, there was a commotion of people. I saw several uncles and uncles, including the eldest uncle, talking towards our yard, and the second uncle immediately turned around and walked towards the yard to greet the uncle.

At this time, the second mother and the little sister in the house heard the movement outside and also walked out. Seeing that the second uncle was safe and sound, the second mother and the little sister were relieved. The second uncle and the eldest uncle, as well as several other uncles and uncles, were discussing what had just happened, their tones were solemn, and they glanced in the direction of the back mountain from time to time.

"I said Wenshan," the uncle looked at the back mountain and said worriedly, "Wasn't the ghost cave already sealed by you with a charm last time?" How can this still happen? ”

Before the second uncle could answer, the fourth uncle took a sip of saliva on the ground and said angrily: "Big brother, what else is there to say?" Last time, the second brother must have sealed the ghost cave, and now it is haunted in the middle of the night, isn't it made by those few backs in the city? There are no ghosts in the world, and there are ghosts when there are many people who believe, it's just nonsense! Now they will be punished......"

Seeing that the fourth uncle became more and more energetic, the uncle couldn't help but glared at him and said, "Fourth, don't say a word." ”

Subsequently, the second uncle took the uncle and several uncles into the house to take a look at Zhao Yuer.

"So, of the five of them, only this girl escaped?" When the uncle saw Zhao Yu'er, he sighed.

"Uncle, I think the others should have escaped too, but they didn't come here." I couldn't help but say that I didn't want to be too pessimistic.

"It's no wonder that those melon babies are alive." The fourth uncle said unceremoniously, "They always think that they have a high level of knowledge, and they look down on us countrymen, so they don't listen to persuasion, and now something has happened!" ”

I thought of the situation yesterday afternoon, many people, including Erniang and the village chief, advised Zhao Yu'er not to go to the ghost cave, but they didn't listen...... However, I felt a little guilty in my heart, and secretly thought that if I had forcibly stopped them yesterday afternoon, maybe this tragedy would not have happened now.

"Alas, fourth, you don't have to say a word, no one wants to see these babies die." Uncle said with a sigh.

Not long after, I heard some commotion outside the courtyard, and when I looked out of the window, I saw that it was the old village chief who was alarmed and hurried with a few villagers. When they saw Zhao Yu'er and heard the uncle briefly explain what had happened, they were all very surprised.

"Alas, what a wreck!" The old village chief looked up to the sky and sighed, his old eyes were moist, and he looked at the second uncle and said, "Wenshan, what are you waiting for, hurry up and call the police." ”

The second uncle answered and hurriedly went to call, but now in the middle of the night, like the rural police station, there is no one on duty at night many times, so I called several times, but no one answered.

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, my heart felt unusually heavy. When I returned to the room where Zhao Yu'er was, I was slightly relieved to see that although Zhao Yu'er had fainted, her breathing was finally normal.

"Brother," the little sister came to me, looked at Zhao Yu'er and asked worriedly, "Sister Zhao is okay?" ”

"Don't worry, she's just scared, she should be fine." I say.

In the second half of the night, villagers came to our house to see Zhao Yu'er, and we couldn't sleep at all. finally survived until dawn, and almost the entire Yunlongba people knew about Zhao Yu'er and them. However, it wasn't until eight o'clock in the morning that the uncle finally called the police. Before the police came, the old village chief took some elders in the village and walked towards the back hill of Goutoupo. My little sister and I also followed the second uncle, and the second mother stayed behind to take care of Zhao Yuer. When we came to the dog head slope and saw the situation in front of the ghost cave, we couldn't help but gasp.

I saw that the grass in front of the ghost cave was stained with blood, and some blood-stained white bones were thrown indiscriminately on the grass. It's like a person who eats the bones of chicken legs and throws them around, and it's miserable. My little sister trembled and grabbed my hand tightly. The others also saw the shocking change of color, and the situation in front of them was obviously that Zhao Yuer's partners were eaten alive by something.
