Chapter 6: The Legend of the Last Judgment
Huang Jun and Shu Yao naturally discovered that something was wrong, and Huang Jun said, "What? What questions do you have? ”
Mr. Wu said: "No, I just think, well, there is no problem, just ask" Although Mr. Wu said this, Huang Jun couldn't see the expression on his face, it was so obvious, and it was clear that others looked like they were asking questions.
"Mr. Wu, I think you should know that things are already very strange now, we have very few clues, and you shouldn't hide all the clues that will help us understand the truth of the matter, right? If you know something, I hope you can tell us the truth" When Huang Jun said this, his tone was actually very unkind, and Huang Jun regretted it after saying it, because a normal person would probably lose his temper when he heard such a question, and Huang Jun secretly blamed himself for being anxious.
But the strange thing is that Mr. Wu didn't expect to react after listening to Huang Jun's words, but looked up at Huang Jun and Shu Yao hesitantly, lowered his head and thought for a while, as if thinking about something, and said after a while: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I'm not sure if this matter is true, if it's not true, I'm afraid that it will mislead you."
Shu Yao: "What the hell is going on?" No, I remember when I left the reservoir wasn't there, what, is there something new happening now? ”
Mr. Wu said: "Yes, I know that you are also from here, but Miss Shu, you have been away for too long, and I am afraid that you still have a conscious impression of what happened here.
Shu Yao said: "More than ten years ago? That should be when I'm not far away."
Huang Jun nodded, "Looks like you're missing out on something fun"
Mr. Wu said: "I think you have also heard, more than ten years ago, some terrible things happened here, well, terrible things, I don't know what happened, but after the incident, all the aborigines here mysteriously disappeared, and later, we moved in later, to be precise, everyone who lives here now moved in later, where those people went before, no one knows"
Huang Jun and Shu Yao nodded, and they were the ones who knew the most about this, but then they seemed to think of something, and they exclaimed in unison: "What, you say, you said that the former natives here are gone?" ”
"Yes, they all disappeared, and no one dared to come in here at first, because I didn't know what happened, but then people gradually moved in, but not long after we moved in, we found this reservoir, and this reservoir only appeared after those people disappeared," Mr. Wu said.
"Is that so? I said that I didn't have any impression of this reservoir, it turned out that these reservoirs appeared so strangely, I should have left this village by then" Shu Yao said, his tone was very flat, but his expression was very gloomy.
"There was nothing originally, since we moved here, life has been very peaceful, when I moved here with Wu Bin, he was already more than ten years old, but there was an accident, drowned in the reservoir, this matter now has nothing to hide, by the way, it seems that since then, there is a legend here" Mr. Wu said.
"What legend?" Shu Yao said, this time she answered faster than Huang Jun, after all, Shu Yao used to live here, and he was a little more anxious about everything that happened here.
"Well, the legend about the reservoir, I don't know when it started, and I don't know who it came from, in short, it just spread out inexplicably," Mr. Wu said.
"Contents?" Huang Jun asked.
"The legend is that all the original inhabitants are dead, and they are all buried in this reservoir until one day, they will all come back to life, and at that time, it will be the Last Judgment," said Mr. Wu.
"Doomsday? Judging what? Huang Jun asked.
"No one knows, in fact, no one believes in this kind of thing, but I don't know why, even if no one believes it, this legend is spreading more and more widely, until, later, everyone knows about it, but everyone knows about this thing and nothing, because no one believes in this legend, everyone just takes him as a joke, so no one takes it seriously, but over the years there have been many people drowned in the reservoir, but it was all an accident, so so far, life is quite peaceful" Mr. Wu said.
"This doesn't make sense, this happened more than ten years ago, that is, shortly after you moved here, but no one knows what happened, and then this legend spread, there are two possibilities here, one is who first spread this legend, and what is his purpose? Second, why is this legend so widely circulated, it stands to reason that such absurd things in general, especially things that everyone doesn't believe, have no reason to make everyone know, and in terms of the content of this legend, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly innovative, at least compared to those novels, it's still far behind, whether it's the plot or the degree of engagement, it's not as good, how can it suddenly spread, and then everyone knows about it? Huang Jun said.
"When you say that, I also think it's strange, this kind of thing is a legend, whether it's true or not, but there is no wind and no waves, and only the wind can come from the hole, generally speaking, if a legend wants to appear, then there must be a reason, and this legend, what is the origin?" Shu Yao said.
"I also think this is very strange, I can't figure it out, so many years have passed, it is difficult to know who was the first person to spread this story, it seems that everyone deliberately forgot about this matter, but remembered the legend itself, I have to say, this is for us, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, in short, this is how it happened, and, in recent years, this legend has not only not retired, but gradually spread more and more widely among young people," Mr. Wu said.
"So, what is the Last Judgment in this legend?" Huang Jundao.
"I don't know, the legend doesn't say it, and no one knows, but everyone will have all kinds of speculations, of course, just think it's fun," Mr. Wu said.
"No, it's still not right, I said why did I feel wrong as soon as I came, it turns out that the problem is here" Shu Yao said.
"What's wrong?" Huang Jun asked, he had already found out that Shu Yao was in a bad state today, but he couldn't figure out what the reason was, and then he heard Shu Yao say this, and immediately said.
"I'll tell you later, Mr. Wu, you go on" Shu Yao also realized that he had lost his temper, so he forced a smile.
Although Mr. Wu was curious, it was not easy to inquire, obviously, even if there was any reason for this, Shu Yao was not ready to say it, Mr. Wu had no choice but to say: "But then there is a very strange custom here, that is, if someone dies in the family, they will bury the person here, although they don't believe it, they still hope that one day their relatives can come back to life."
"You mean burying the grave by the reservoir?" Huang Jun asked, as he asked, remembering that he had indeed seen all the graves by the reservoir.
"That's right, this is also a major feature here, but since everyone didn't take this matter seriously, naturally, there is no hope for it, and now that you say that this matter is related to the reservoir, I just remembered this legend," Mr. Wu said.
"So, what do you think of this legend?" Huang Jun asked.
"My opinion is very contradictory, originally it stands to reason that I will not believe this kind of thing, at least intellectually I will not believe it, but I don't know why, emotionally I feel that since this matter has been circulated, it means that there must be some secret here, but this secret is not known and understood, of course, so far, I don't know what this secret is" Mr. Wu said.
"By the way, Mr. Wu, do you know anyone, well, it's called Zhang Houbo?" Huang Jun asked.
"What's wrong? How do you ask about this? Mr. Wu was stunned, obviously, Huang Jun's question exceeded his expectations.
"It's nothing, just ask, if you know, can you take me to him? I heard he lives here too? Huang Jun said. Shu Yao listened to Huang Jun's question on the side, and remembered the mysterious middle-aged man he met when he opened the coffin, and he also looked at Mr. Wu with a nervous face at this time.
"I know the person you are talking about, not only do I know, but also know him very well, speaking of which, I have a little relationship with him, he is my cousin's son, of course, my cousin is no longer alive, but you want to find him, I'm afraid, I'm afraid" Mr. Wu said this, glanced at Huang Jun, wanted to say something, but didn't say it.
"I'm afraid of what? Mr. Wu, you can tell me, we don't mean anything else, we just want to pay a casual visit," Huang Jun said.
"It's nothing, there's nothing you can't say, it's just that I think it's strange, because this person died, died many years ago," Mr. Wu said.
"Dead? How did he die? Huang Jun asked quietly, he felt closer and closer to the truth of the matter, but at the same time, he also felt more and more that he was getting farther away from the truth.
"I have been sick and dead for many years, twenty or thirty years," Mr. Wu said.
"Sick to death? So, he didn't die here? Huang Jun said.
"Of course not, before we moved here, of course, after we moved here, his grave was also moved, and it's right next to the reservoir, why are you asking about that?" Mr. Wu asked.
"Are you sure he's really dead? I mean, is there really anyone in his grave? Huang Jun asked.
"Of course I'm sure, I attended his funeral, I watched him buried, I'm sure, you haven't answered my question yet" Mr. Wu instinctively felt that Huang Jun and Shu Yao seemed to be hiding something.
